2. Basis of Presentation
Unaudited condensed consolidated interim consolidated financial statements
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial reporting. These consolidated statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to state fairly the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S.") ("GAAP"). The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016,2020 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017,2021, or any other future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations for interim reporting of the SEC. These condensed consolidated interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2020, and other forms filed with the SEC from time to time.
Reclassifications
Due to the insignificance of our revenue from "license fees and other," we have combined that revenue with our "services" revenue beginning in 2017. In order to provide comparability between periods presented, "services" and "license fees and other" have been combined within "services and other" in the previously reported consolidated statements of comprehensive income to conform to presentation of the current period. Similarly, "cost of services" and "cost of license fees and other" have been combined within "cost of services and other" in the previously reported consolidated statements of comprehensive income to conform to presentation of the current period.
Basis of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Blackbaud, Inc. and its wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncementsReportable segment
In May 2017,We report our operating results and financial information in one operating and reportable segment. Our chief operating decision maker uses consolidated financial information to make operating decisions, assess financial performance and allocate resources. Our chief operating decision maker is our chief executive officer ("CEO").
As discussed in Note 13, beginning in the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scopesecond quarter of Modification Accounting2021, we combined our General Markets Group ("ASU 2017-09"GMG"), and Enterprise Markets Group ("EMG") into a single U.S. Markets Group ("UMG") and moved our Corporations vertical under our International Markets Group ("IMG"). This change was made to better align our resources toward customer retention and growth which, provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. Under ASU 2017-09, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changesare key objectives as a result of thewe progress toward our long-term aspirational goals.

Risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19
We are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that COVID-19 may continue to significantly impact our vertical markets and geographies, but the magnitude of the impact on our business cannot be determined at this time due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration of the outbreak, the severity of variants which may develop, travel restrictions and business closures, the effectiveness of vaccination programs and other actions taken to contain the disease and other unforeseeable consequences.

which financial statements have not been issued. ASU 2017-09 should be applied prospectivelyin conformity with GAAP requires management to an award modified on or aftermake estimates and assumptions that affect the adoption date. We early adopted ASU 2017-09 as of April 1, 2017. As this standard is prospective in nature, the impact to our financial statements will depend on the nature of our future award modifications.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"), which provides a screen to determine when an integrated setreported amounts of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially allliabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the fair valuefinancial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the grossreporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we reconsider and evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those that impact revenue recognition, long-lived and intangible assets, acquired (or disposed of) is concentratedincome taxes, business combinations, stock-based compensation, capitalization of software development costs, our allowances for credit losses and sales returns, costs of obtaining contracts, valuation of derivative instruments, loss contingencies and insurance recoveries, among others.

ASU 2017-01 is effective for annualcircumstances underlying these estimates, including due to COVID-19, could result in material changes and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, and applied prospectively. We early adopted ASU 2017-01 as of July 1, 2017 and do notactual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.statements when adopted in the future.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment("ASU 2017-04"), which removes the requirementSummary of significant accounting policies
There have been no new or material changes to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and applied prospectively.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"), which requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, but any adjustments must be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The new standard must be adopted retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated statements of cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 will require lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses in the income statement in a manner similar to current guidance. The updated guidance also eliminates certain real estate-specific provisions and changes the guidance on sale-leaseback transactions, initial direct costs and lease executory costs for all entities. For lessors, the standard modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. All entities will classify leases to determine how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense. Classification will continue to affect amounts that lessors record on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, entities will be required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. We expect ASU 2016-02 will impact our consolidated financial statements and are currently evaluating the extent of the impact that implementation of this standard will have on adoption.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The standard also provides guidance on the recognition of costs related to obtaining customer contracts. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and we anticipate using the full retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. As a result of our evaluation to date, we expect that ASU 2014-09 will generally result in the deferral of more costs to obtain a contract over a longer period using the expected period of benefit as compared with our current practice of using our average initial contract term. We also anticipate incremental disclosures, including, but not limited to, the opening and closing balances of contract assets and liabilities, revenue recognized in the reporting period that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period, and the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations at the end of each reporting period including when we expect to recognize that amount.

3. Business Combinations
AcademicWorks acquisition
On April 3, 2017, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock, including all voting equity interests, of AcademicWorks, Inc., a Texas corporation ("AcademicWorks"), pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. AcademicWorks is the market leader in scholarship management for higher education and K-12 institutions, foundations, and grant-making institutions. The acquisition extends our offerings for our higher education, K-12, and corporate and foundation customers. We acquired AcademicWorks for $52.1 million in cash, net of closing adjustments. We financed the acquisition through a draw down of a revolving credit loan under our then-existing credit facility. As a result of the acquisition, AcademicWorks has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. The operating results of AcademicWorks have been included in our consolidated financial statements within our EMG and GMG reportable segments (as defined in Note 14 below) from the date of acquisition. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred insignificant acquisition-related expenses associated with the acquisition of AcademicWorks, which were recorded in general and administrative expense.
The fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the table below are based on our best estimates and assumptions as of the reporting date and are considered preliminary pending finalization. The estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. The assets and liabilities, pending finalization, include the valuation of acquired finite-lived intangible assets as well as the assumed deferred revenue and deferred income tax balances.

Finite-lived intangible assets30,900
Deferred revenue(3,950)
Deferred tax liability(12,350)
Goodwill34,305
Total purchase price$52,144
The estimated fair value of accounts receivable acquired approximates the contractual value of $1.0 million. The estimated goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the opportunities for expected synergies from combining operations and the assembled workforce of AcademicWorks, with $20.6 million and $13.7 million assigned to our EMG and GMG reportable segments, respectively. None of the goodwill arising in the acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes.
The AcademicWorks acquisition resulted in the identification of the following identifiable finite-lived intangible assets:

The estimated fair values of the finite-lived intangible assets were based on variations of the income approach, which estimates fair value based upon the present value of cash flows that the assets are expected to generate, and which included the relief-from-royalty method, incremental cash flow method, including the comparative (with and without) method and multi-period excess earnings method, depending on the intangible asset being valued. The method of amortization of

identifiable finite-lived intangible assets is based on the expected pattern in which the estimated economic benefits of the respective assets are consumed or otherwise used up. Customer relationships and acquired technology are being amortized on an accelerated basis. Marketing assets and non-compete agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis.
We determined that the impact of this acquisition was not material to our consolidated financial statements; therefore, revenue and earnings since the acquisition date and pro forma information are not required or presented.
4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The change in goodwill for each reportable segment (as defined in Note 14 below) during the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, consisted of the following:

5.4. Earnings Per Share
We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the assumed exercise, settlement and vesting of all dilutive securities using the “treasury stock method” except when the effect is anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, settlement of stock appreciation rights and vesting of restricted stock awards and units.

6.5. Fair Value Measurements
We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

Our derivative instruments within the scope of ASCAccounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, Derivatives and Hedging, are required to be recorded at fair value. Our derivative instruments that are recorded at fair value include interest rate swaps, as well as foreign currency forward and option contracts.swaps. See Note 8 for additional information about our derivative instruments.
The fair value of our interest rate swaps was based on model-driven valuations using LIBOR rates, which are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Accordingly, our interest rate swaps are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Our foreign currency forward and option The Financial Conduct Authority in the U.K. has stated that it plans to phase out all tenors of LIBOR by June 2023. We do not currently anticipate a significant impact to our financial position or results of operations as a result of this action as we expect that our financial contracts are valued using standard calculations/models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters including, foreign currency exchange rates, volatilities, and interest rates. Therefore, our foreign currency forward and option contracts are classified within Level 2 ofcurrently indexed to LIBOR will either expire or be modified without significant financial impact before the fair value hierarchy.phase out occurs.
We believe the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, due to customers, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and due to customers approximate their fair values at September 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016,2020, due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these instruments.
We believe the carrying amount of our debt approximates its fair value at September 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016,2020, as the debt bears interest rates that approximate market value. As LIBOR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals, our debt under the 2020 Credit Facility (as defined below) is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Our fixed rate debt is also classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
We did not transfer any assets or liabilities among the levels within the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2021. Additionally, we did not hold any Level 3 assets or liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Non-recurring fair value measurements
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include long-lived assets, intangible assets, goodwill and goodwill, whichoperating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets. These assets are recognized at fair value during the period in which an acquisition is completed or at lease commencement, from updated estimates and assumptions during the measurement period, or when they are considered to be impaired. These non-recurring fair value measurements, primarily for long-lived assets, intangible assets acquired and operating lease ROU assets, are based on Level 3 unobservable inputs. In the event of an impairment, we determine the fair value of thethese assets other than goodwill and intangible assets using a discounted cash flow approach, which contains significant unobservable inputs and, therefore, is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs in the analysis generally include future cash flow projections and a discount rate. For goodwill impairment testing, we estimate fair value using market-based methods including the use of market capitalization and consideration of a control premium.
There were no material non-recurring fair value adjustments to our long-lived assets, intangible assets, goodwill and goodwilloperating lease ROU assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, except for an insignificant business combination accounting adjustment to the initial fair value estimates of the Attentive.ly assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date from updated information obtained during the measurement period. See Note 4 to these consolidated financial statements for additional details. The measurement period of a business combination may be up to one year from the acquisition date. We record any measurement period adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.2021.

Financing for AcademicWorks acquisition
As discussed in Note 3 to these consolidated financial statements, on April 3, 2017 we acquired AcademicWorks for $52.1 million in cash, net of closing adjustments. We financed the acquisition through a draw down of a revolving credit loan under the 2014 Credit Facility (defined below).
2017 refinancing
We were previously party to a $325.0 million five-year2020 credit facility entered into during February 2014. The credit facility included: a dollar and a designated currency revolving credit facility with sublimits for letters of credit and swingline loans (the “2014 Revolving Facility”) and a term loan facility (the “2014 Term Loan”), together, (the “2014 Credit Facility”).
In June 2017,October 2020, we entered into a five-year $700.0$900.0 million senior credit facility (the “2017"2020 Credit Facility”Facility"). The 2017 Credit Facility includes a $400.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2017 Revolving Facility”) and a $300.0 million term loan facility (the “2017 Term Loan”). Upon closing we drew $300.0 million on a term loan and $110.0 million in revolving credit loans, which was used to repay all amounts outstanding under the 2014 Credit Facility, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the 2017 Credit Facility, and for other general corporate purposes.
Certain lenders of the 2014 Term Loan participated in the 2017 Term Loan and the change in the present value of our future cash flows to these lenders under the 2014 Term Loan and under the 2017 Term Loan was less than 10%. Accordingly, we accounted for the refinancing event for these lenders as a debt modification. Certain lenders of the 2014 Term Loan did not participate in the 2017 Term Loan. Accordingly, we accounted for the refinancing event for these lenders as a debt extinguishment. Certain lenders of the 2014 Revolving Facility participated in the 2017 Revolving Facility and provided increased borrowing capacities. Accordingly, we accounted for the refinancing event for these lenders as a debt modification. Certain lenders of the 2014 Revolving Facility did not participate in the 2017 Revolving Facility. Accordingly, we accounted for the refinancing event for these lenders as a debt extinguishment.
We recorded an insignificant loss on debt extinguishment related to the write-off of debt discount and deferred financing costs for the portions of the 2014 Credit Facility considered to be extinguished. This loss was recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income within other income (expense), net.
In connection with our entry into the 2017 Credit Facility, we paid $3.1 million in financing costs, of which $1.0 million was capitalized in other assets and, together with a portion of the unamortized deferred financing costs from the 2014 Credit Facility and prior facilities, are being amortized into interest expense ratably over the term of the new facility. As of September 30, 2017, deferred financing costs totaling $1.3 million were included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2016, deferred financing costs included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheets were insignificant. We recorded aggregate financing costs of $1.8 million as a direct deduction from the carrying

amount of our debt liability, which related to debt discount (fees paid to lenders) and debt issuance costs for the 2017 Term Loan.
Summary of the 2017 Credit Facility

The 2017 Revolving Facility includes (i) a $50.0 million sublimit available for the issuance of standby letters of credit, (ii) a $50.0 million sublimit available for swingline loans, and (iii) a $100.0 million sublimit available for multicurrency borrowings.
The 2017 Credit Facility is secured by the stock and limited liability company interests of certain of our subsidiaries and any of our material domestic subsidiaries.
Amounts borrowed under the dollar tranche revolving credit loans and term loan under the 2017 Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, (a) a base rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% and (iii) the Eurocurrency Rate (which varies depending on the currency in which the loan is denominated) plus 1.00% (the “Base Rate”), in addition to a margin of 0.00% to 0.75%, or (b) Eurocurrency Rate plus a margin of 1.00% to 1.75%.
We also pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the 2017 Revolving Facility from 0.15% to 0.25% per annum, depending on our net leverage ratio. At September 30, 2017, the commitment fee was 0.20%.
The term loan under the 2017 Credit Facility requires periodic principal payments. The balance of the term loan and any amounts drawn on the revolving credit loans are due upon maturity of the 2017 Credit Facility in June 2022. We evaluate the classification of our debt as current or non-current based on the required annual maturities of the 2017 Credit Facility.
The 2017 Credit Facility includes financial covenants related to the net leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, as well as restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends and our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock. At September 30, 2017,2021, we were in compliance with our debt covenants under the 20172020 Credit Facility.

Real estate loans
The 2017 Credit Facility also includes an option to request increases inIn August 2020, we completed the revolving commitments and/or request additional term loans inpurchase of our global headquarters facility. As part of the purchase price, we assumed the Seller’s obligations under two senior secured notes with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of up to $200.0$61.1 million plus an amount, if any, such that(collectively, the Net Leverage Ratio shall be no greater than 3.00 to 1.00.

9.8. Derivative Instruments
Cash flow hedges
We generally use derivative instruments to manage our variable interest rate risk. In March 2014, weWe have entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the "March 2014 Swap Agreement"),agreements, which effectively convertsconvert portions of our variable rate debt under our credit facilitythe 2020 Credit Facility to a fixed rate for the term of the swap agreement. The initial notional valueagreements. We designated each of the March 2014 Swap Agreement was $125.0 million with an effective date beginning in March 2014. In March 2017, the notional value of the March 2014 Swap Agreement decreased to $75.0 million for the remaining term through February 2018. We designated the March 2014 Swap Agreementinterest rate swap agreements as a cash flow hedge at the inception of the contract.contracts.
In October 2015, we entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement (the "October 2015 Swap Agreement"), which effectively converts portionsThe terms and notional values of our variable rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed rate for the termderivative instruments were as follows as of the October 2015 Swap Agreement. The notional value of the October 2015 Swap Agreement was $75.0 million with an effective date beginning in October 2015 and maturing in February 2018. We designated the October 2015 Swap Agreement as a cash flow hedge at the inception of the contract.
In July 2017, we entered into an additional interest rate swap agreement (the "July 2017 Swap Agreement"), which effectively converts portions of our variable rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed rate for the term of the swap agreement. The notional value of the July 2017 Swap Agreement was $150.0 million with an effective date beginning in July 2017 through July 2021. We designated the July 2017 Swap Agreement as a cash flow hedge at the inception of the contract.
Undesignated contracts
In June 2017, we entered into a foreign currency option contract to hedge our exposure to currency fluctuations in connection with our acquisition of JustGiving because the purchase price was denominated in British Pounds. The notional value of the instrument was £100.0 million with an effective date beginning in June 2017 and maturing in September 2017. We settled the foreign currency option contract in September 2017. We did not designate the foreign currency option contract as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes since it involved a business combination. As such, changes in the fair value of this derivative are recognized currently in earnings. The insignificant premium paid for this option and the $1.0 million in proceeds from the settlement are shown within cash flows from investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows.
As the closing date of our acquisition of JustGiving extended beyond the settlement date of the foreign currency option contract, we entered into a foreign currency forward contract in September 2017 with settlement in October 2017. The notional value of the instrument was £103.5 million. We did not designate the foreign currency forward contract as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes since it involved a business combination. As such, changes in the fair value of this derivative are recognized currently in earnings.

Our policy requires that derivatives used for hedging purposes be designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains or losses from the change in fair value measurement of our derivative instruments each reporting period and the related income tax expense or benefit. Changes in the fair value measurements of the derivative instruments and the related income tax expense or benefit are reflected as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the actual hedged expense is incurred or until the hedge is terminated at which point the unrealized gain (loss) is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to current earnings. The estimated accumulated other comprehensive incomeloss as of September 30, 20172021 that is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months is insignificant.$1.4 million. There were no0 ineffective portions of our interest rate swap derivatives during the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 and 2016.2020.

Solution and service indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we provide certain indemnifications of varying scope to customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of our solutions or services. If we determine that it is probable that a loss has been incurred related to solution or service indemnifications, any such loss that could be reasonably estimated would be recognized. We have not identified any losses and, accordingly, we have not recorded a liability related to these indemnifications.

Legal proceedings
We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.business, as well as certain other non-ordinary course proceedings, claims and inquiries, as described below. We make a provision for a loss contingency when it is both probable that a material liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. TheseIf only a range of estimated losses can be determined, we accrue an amount within the range that, in our judgment, reflects the most likely outcome; if none of the estimates within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the low end of the range. For proceedings in which an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible but not probable and an estimate of the loss or range of losses arising from the proceeding can be made, we disclose such an estimate, if material. If such a loss or range of losses is not reasonably estimable, we disclose that fact. We review any such loss contingency provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjustedadjust them to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Unless otherwise specifically disclosed in this note, we have determined asWe recognize insurance recoveries, if any, when they are probable of September 30, 2017, that no provision for liability nor disclosure is required relatedreceipt.

It is possible nevertheless, that our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially negatively affected in any particular period by an unfavorable resolution of one or more of such legal proceedings.
Security incident
As previously disclosed, we are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of a ransomware attack against us in May 2020 in which a cybercriminal removed a copy of a subset of data from our self-hosted environment (the "Security Incident"). Based on the nature of the Security Incident, our research and third party (including law enforcement) investigation, we have no reason to believe that any data went beyond the cybercriminal, was or will be misused, or will be disseminated or otherwise made available publicly. Our investigation into the Security Incident by our cybersecurity team and third-party forensic advisors remains ongoing.
As a result of the Security Incident, we are currently subject to certain legal proceedings, claims, inquiries and investigations, as discussed below, and could be the subject of additional legal proceedings, claims, inquires and investigations in the future that might result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, or investigations.other resolution. To limit our exposure to losses related to claims against us, including data breaches such as the Security Incident, we maintain $50 million of insurance above a $250 thousand deductible payable by us. As noted below, this coverage has reduced our financial exposure related to the Security Incident, and we will continue to seek recoveries under these insurance policies. Based on our review of expenses incurred to date, and upon consideration of the number of matters outstanding (as described below), we believe that total costs related to the Security Incident will exceed the limits of our insurance coverage during the fourth quarter of 2021. However, we are currently unable to estimate the approximate amount or range of any such excess.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded $11.4 million and $35.9 million, respectively, of expenses related to the Security Incident and offsetting probable insurance recoveries of $10.6 million and $34.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, we have recorded cumulative expenses related to the Security Incident of $45.7 million and cumulative probable insurance recoveries of $43.9 million. Due to the time required to submit and process such insurance claims, we have not yet received all of the accrued insurance recoveries. Of the insurance recoveries recorded, $18.0 million had been paid as of September 30, 2021. Recorded expenses consisted primarily of payments for legal fees related to governmental inquiries and investigations and customer constituent class actions. We present expenses and insurance recoveries related to the Security Incident in general and administrative expense on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and as operating activities on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We expect to continue to experience significant expenses related to our response to the Security Incident, resolution of legal proceedings, claims, inquiries and investigations discussed below, and our efforts to further enhance our security measures, and those expenses may be material.
Based on our analysis of the factors described above, we have not recorded a liability related to the Security Incident as of September 30, 2021 because we are unable at this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss.

Customer claims. To date, we have received approximately 260 specific requests for reimbursement of expenses ("Customer Reimbursement Requests") and approximately 400 reservations of the right to seek expense recovery in the future from customers or their attorneys in the U.S., U.K. and Canada related to the Security Incident (none of which have as yet been filed in court). Of the Customer Reimbursement Requests received to date, approximately 170 have been fully resolved and closed. In addition, insurance companies representing various customers’ interests through subrogation claims have contacted us. Customer and insurer subrogation claims generally seek reimbursement of their costs and expenses associated with notifying their own customers of the Security Incident and taking steps to assure that personal information has not been compromised as a result of the Security Incident. Our review of customer and subrogation claims includes analyzing individual customer contracts into which we have entered, the specific claims made and applicable law.
Customer constituent class actions. Presently, we are a defendant in 19 putative consumer class action cases [17 in U.S. federal courts (which have been consolidated under multi district litigation to a single federal court) and 2 in Canadian courts] alleging harm from the Security Incident. The plaintiffs in these cases, who purport to represent various classes of individual constituents of our customers, generally claim to have been harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by us in connection with the Security Incident and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees, and other related relief.
Lawsuits that are putative class actions require a plaintiff to satisfy a number of procedural requirements before proceeding to trial. These requirements include, among others, demonstration to a court that the law proscribes in some manner our activities, the making of factual allegations sufficient to suggest that our activities exceeded the limits of the law and a determination by the court—known as class certification—that the law permits a group of individuals to pursue the case together as a class. If these procedural requirements are not met, the lawsuit cannot proceed as a class action and the plaintiff may lose the financial incentive to proceed with the case. Frequently, a court’s determination as to these procedural requirements is subject to appeal to a higher court. As a result of these uncertainties, we may be unable to determine the probability of loss until, or after, a court has finally determined that a plaintiff has satisfied the applicable class action procedural requirements.
Furthermore, for putative class actions, it is often not possible to estimate the possible loss or a range of loss amounts, even where we have determined that a loss is reasonably possible. Generally, class actions involve a large number of people and raise complex legal and factual issues that result in uncertainty as to their outcome and, ultimately, making it difficult for us to estimate the amount of damages that a plaintiff might successfully prove. This analysis is further complicated by the fact that the plaintiffs lack contractual privity with us.
Governmental inquiries and investigations. To date, we have received a consolidated, multi-state Civil Investigative Demand issued on behalf of 48 state Attorneys General and the District of Columbia and separate Civil Investigative Demands from the offices of the Illinois Attorney General and the California Attorney General relating to the Security Incident. In addition, we have received communications, inquires and requests from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the SEC, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Information Commissioner’s Office in the United Kingdom under the U.K. Data Protection Act 2018 (the "ICO", the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, the Spanish Data Protection Authority, and the Data Protection Commission of Ireland).
On September 28, 2021, the ICO notified us that it has closed its investigation of the Security Incident. Based on its investigation and having considered our actions before, during and after the Security Incident, the ICO issued our European subsidiary a reprimand in accordance with Article 58(2)(b) of the U.K. General Data Protection Regulation ("U.K. GDPR") due to our non-compliance, in the ICO's view, with the requirements set out in Article 32 of the U.K. GDPR regarding the processing of personal data. The ICO did not impose a penalty related to the Security Incident, nor did it impose any requirements for further action by us.
On September 24, 2021, we received notice from the Spanish Data Protection Authority that it has concluded its investigation of the Security Incident, pursuant to which our European subsidiary paid a penalty of €60,000 in relation to the alleged late notification of two Spanish data controllers regarding the Security Incident.
On January 15, 2021, we were notified by the Data Protection Commission of Ireland that it has concluded its investigation of the Security Incident without taking any action against us.

We continue to cooperate with all ongoing inquiries and investigations, which include various requests for documents, policies, narratives and communications, as well as requests to interview or depose various Company-related personnel. As noted above, each of these separate governmental inquiries and investigations could result in adverse judgements, settlements, fines, penalties, or other resolution, the amount, scope and timing of which we are currently unable to predict, but could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

OurThe increase in our effective income tax rate duringfor the three months ended September 30, 2017 remained relatively unchanged2021, when compared to the same period in 2016. 2020, was primarily attributable to higher 2021 non-deductible stock-based compensation and reduced state tax credits. Furthermore, the 2020 effective tax rate was positively impacted by a favorable return to provision adjustment offset against tax expense attributable to a corporate income tax rate increase enacted during the period.
The decreaseincrease in our effective income tax rate duringfor the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021 when compared to the same period in 2016,2020, was primarily due to a $9.0 million discrete tax benefit to expense relating to stock-based compensation items, as compared to a $4.3 million discrete tax benefit for the same period in 2016. The increase in the discrete tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as comparedattributable to the same period in 2016, was attributable to an increase in the market price for sharesimpact of our common stock, as reported by the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ"), as well as an increase in the number of stock awards that vested and were exercised.

Dividends
Our Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy, which provides for the distribution to stockholders of a portion of cash generated by us that is in excess of operational needs and capital expenditures. The 2017 Credit Facility limits the amount of dividends payable and certain state laws restrict the amount of dividends distributed.
In February 2017, our Board of Directors approved an annual dividend rate of $0.48 per share to be made in quarterly payments. Dividend payments are not guaranteed and our Board of Directors may decide, in its absolute discretion, at any time and for any reason, not to declare and pay further dividends.

During the first quarterStock repurchase program
In November 2020, our Board of 2017, we changed the namesDirectors reauthorized and expanded a stock repurchase program that authorizes us to purchase up to $250.0 million of our reportable segments. However, there was no changeoutstanding shares of common stock. The program does not have an expiration date. Under the stock repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase shares from time to time in accordance with applicable laws both on the determinationopen market, including under trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of repurchases depends on several factors, including market and business conditions, the trading price of our reportable segments or our reporting units at that time. As of September 30, 2017, our reportable segments were the General Markets Group ("GMG"), the Emerging Markets Group ("EMG"),common stock and the International Markets Group ("IMG").nature of other investment opportunities. The following is a description of each reportable segment:

15. Subsequent Events
JustGiving acquisition
On October 2, 2017, Blackbaud Global Limited (“Blackbaud Global”), a United Kingdom limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, acquired the entire issued share capital, including all voting equity interests, of Giving Limited, a United Kingdom private limited company doing business as “JustGiving” for an aggregate purchase price of £95.0 million, or approximately $127.4 million, in cash, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the stock purchase agreement. JustGiving is a market leading social platform for giving, and the acquisition is expected to enhance our capabilities to serve both individual donors and nonprofits, expanding the peer-to-peer fundraising capabilities we offer today.

2213. Revenue Recognition
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
As of September 30, 2021, approximately $821 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 55% of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter.
We applied the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 and have excluded the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less (one-time services); and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed (transactional revenue).
Contract balances
Our contract assets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were insignificant. Our opening and closing balances of deferred revenue were as follows:
(in thousands)September 30,
2021
December 31,
2020
Total deferred revenue$333,954 $316,914 
The increase in deferred revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to a seasonal increase in customer contract renewals and, to a lesser extent, early progress in initiatives to bring our pricing in line with the market. Historically, due to the timing of customer budget cycles, we have an increase in customer contract renewals at or near the beginning of our third quarter. The amount of revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period was approximately $270 million. The amount of revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was insignificant.
Disaggregation of revenue
We sell our cloud solutions and related services in three primary geographical markets: to customers in the United States, to customers in the United Kingdom and to customers located in other countries. The following table presents our revenue by geographic area based on the address of our customers:

Total revenue$231,218 $215,001 $679,849 $670,613 
Beginning in the second quarter of 2021, we combined our General Markets Group ("GMG") and Enterprise Markets Group ("EMG") into a single U.S. Markets Group ("UMG") and moved our Corporations vertical under our International Markets Group ("IMG"). This change was made to better align our resources toward customer retention and growth, which are key objectives as we progress toward our long-term aspirational goals.
The UMG and the IMG comprised our go-to-market organizations as of September 30, 2021. The following is a description of each market group as of that date:
The UMG focuses on sales primarily to all prospects and customers inside of the U.S.; and
The IMG focuses on sales primarily to all prospects and customers outside of the U.S, as well as corporations.

14. Subsequent Events
Workforce strategy actions
In October 2021, we made the decision to permanently close our fixed office locations (with the exception of our global headquarters facility in Charleston, South Carolina), effective December 1, 2021. This change was intended to align our real estate footprint with our transition to a remote-first workforce. We may enter into arrangements for smaller more flexible workspaces where necessary. We currently expect to incur between $13.0 million and $14.0 million of pre-tax costs related to these actions during the fourth quarter of 2021. We expect that the costs associated with these actions will be largely noncash impairment charges, primarily for operating lease ROU assets in the office locations we have determined to exit.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion and analysis presents financial information denominated in millions of dollars which can lead to differences from rounding when compared to similar information contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes which are primarily denominated in thousands of dollars.
Executive Summary
We are the world’s leading cloud software company powering social good. Serving the entire social good community—nonprofits, foundations, corporations,higher education institutions, K–12 schools, healthcare institutionsorganizations, faith communities, arts and cultural organizations, foundations, companies and individual change agents—we connect and empower organizations to increase their impact through cloud software, services, expertise and data intelligence. Our portfolio is tailored to the unique needs of vertical markets, with solutions for fundraising and CRM, marketing, advocacy, peer-to-peer fundraising, corporate social responsibility, school management, ticketing, grantmaking, financial management, payment processing and analytics. Serving the industry for more than threefour decades, we are headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, and have operations in the United States, Australia, Canada, Costa Rica and the United Kingdom. As of September 30, 2017, we had approximately 35,000 customers.
Our revenue is primarily generated from the following sources: (i) charging for the use of our software solutions in cloud-basedcloud and hosted environments; (ii) providing transactionpayment and payment processingother transactional-type services; (iii) providing software maintenance and support services; and (iv) providing professional services, including implementation, consulting, training, consulting, analytic and other services; and (iv) providing software maintenance and support services.
DuringCOVID-19 Impact
The economic impact of COVID-19 on the thirdsocial good industry remains somewhat uncertain, although we are seeing signs of recovery in the industry. We believe the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift to a digital-first world. The percentage of giving done online grew by approximately 40% in 2020 with roughly a quarter of 2017,that giving taking place on mobile device. If our existing and prospective customers remain cautious in their purchase decisions, our operating environment may continue to be challenging for the remainder of 2021 and potentially beyond. Notwithstanding these conditions, we continuedremain focused on continuing to execute on our four-point growth strategy targeted to drive an extended period of quality enhancement, solution and service innovation and increasing operating efficiency and financial performance:strengthening our leadership position.
Four-Point Strategy
1.Deliver Integrated1Expand Total Addressable Market
2Lead with World Class Teams and OpenOperations
3Delight Customers with Innovative Cloud Solutions in the Cloud
4Focus on Employees, Culture and ESG Initiatives
1.Expand Total Addressable Market ("TAM")
We continueare now once again actively evaluating opportunities to transitionfurther expand our business to predominantly serve customersaddressable market through acquisitions and internal product development. We have significant opportunities in front of us as we are less than 10% penetrated into a subscription-based cloud delivery model, enabling lower costTAM of entry, greater scalability and lower total cost of ownership to our customers. We continue to optimize our portfolio of solutions and integrate powerful capabilities — such as built in data, analytics, artificial intelligence, payment processing and tailored user-specific experiences — to bring even greater value and performance to our customers.
The Blackbaud SKY™ cloud platform is allowing us to innovate at a more rapid pace, including delivering enhanced integrated analytics capabilities that surface directly in our customers’ software through SKY AI and SKY Analytics—componentsover $10 billion. Acquisitions are an important element of our broader Intelligence for Good approach that combines AI, analytics, one of the industry’s most robust data sets and expertise to drive powerful insights for our customers. These embedded, cloud-delivered insights provide high impact, workflow-integrated intelligence that drives fundraising, advocacy, event participation and other purpose driven constituent interactions.
At our annual user conference, bbcon, we announced a joint-partnership with Microsoft to couple together Microsoft's horizontal solutions with our industry-leading vertical solutions. We now intend to fully power Blackbaud SKY in the Microsoft Azure environment, and we will become a Cloud Solution Provider Partner for the Microsoft platform.

strategy going forward.

2.Lead with World Class Teams and Operations
This strategy expands upon our previous strategies to drive sales effectiveness and improve operating efficiency to include improving overall company performance as measured by the Rule of 40 (see discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below). We have a strong executive team that is delivering on our mission and executing on our strategy. We have talent across our company, at every level, who are aligned with these goals as well. In support of this strategy, during the second quarter of 2021, we merged our EMG and GMG to create one U.S. Market Group to better align our resources toward customer retention and growth. For more information, see Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report.
3.Delight Customers with Innovative Cloud Solutions
2020 required unprecedented speed and scale to support our customers, and we were quick to reprioritize and expedite product enhancements to support our customers' changing needs as they needed to operate more digitally. We have carried that momentum into 2021. For example, we recently released an entirely new experience for Blackbaud Grantmaking which provides the relevant capabilities to users from their Blackbaud fundraising, fund management, and grant making solutions all in one interface. It also delivers purpose-built automation capabilities and maximizes the value of relationships by giving our customers a holistic view of the relationships driving their grant making - highlighting connections between grantees, and the relationships between individuals and the organizations they are funding. Another example is a recent release within Financial Edge NXT where we're transforming the entire accounts receivable experience. This provides a modern experience and new streamlined workflows and controls in areas such as invoice creation, billing and receiving payments, as well as holistic relationship management across vendors, customers, and sponsors.
4.Focus on Employees, Culture and ESG Initiatives
During the first quarter of 2021, we elevated a specific strategy focused on employees, culture and ESG initiatives. This is not new for us. It is something that is in our DNA and is a big advantage as we look to attract and retain top talent. This is evident in our 2020 social responsibility report, which was released in April 2021. We are fully committed to continuing to create a diverse and inclusive environment at all levels of the organization. Early in 2021, we established an ESG Steering Committee with our CEO as the executive sponsor, and our Board of Directors are also involved in this initiative. Building on our culture of innovation, we launched a new ideation initiative called "Imagine Week," inviting employees across the globe to pitch their ideas directly to the executive leadership team. Employees at every level and length of tenure in the company made proposals ranging from fundraising to customer service improvements. These ideas are making their way into our go-forward plans. In addition, we recently decided, effective December 1, 2021, to permanently close our fixed office locations (with the exception of our global headquarters facility in Charleston, South Carolina) to align our real estate footprint with our transition to a remote-first workforce. We may enter into arrangements for smaller more flexible workspaces where necessary.

Financial Summary

2.Drive Sales Effectiveness
We continue to invest in a world-class sales organization to accelerate revenue growth and penetrate our large and expanding total addressable market ("TAM"), which is currently estimated to be over $7.0 billion. During the first three quarters of 2017, we created a new Senior Vice President of Global Sales position to lead this effort across the organization and we have focused on enabling our expanding sales teams with training, processes, and tools to improve effectiveness and drive revenue growth. The further development of our customer success program is allowing our sales teams to focus on closing sales rather than account management. The move to selling pre-integrated solution suites instead of individual point-solutions continues to be successful, and we have furthered our go-to-market shift with a concentrated sales focus by sub-vertical, including K-12 private schools, foundations, corporations, arts & cultural, higher education and healthcare.
3.Expand TAM into Near Adjacencies through Acquisitions and Product Investments
We continue to evaluate compelling opportunities to acquire companies, technologies and/or services. We are guided by our acquisition criteria for considering attractive assets that expand our TAM, provide entry into new and near adjacencies, accelerate our shift to the cloud, accelerate revenue growth, are accretive to margins and present synergistic opportunities.
During the third quarter, we launched Blackbaud Labs as a means to incubate new ideas and foster our strong culture of innovation and creativity within Blackbaud, with the sole focus of bringing new capabilities to market organically. We previously announced the promotion of our new Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Business Development, who led the effort for many of our acquisitions, including AcademicWorks in April 2017 and, most recently, JustGiving.
AcademicWorks is the market leader in scholarship management for higher education and K-12 institutions, foundations, and grant-making institutions. Their cloud platform enables students to apply for all awards at an institution using one intuitive and streamlined process, while offering schools and awarding institutions a common platform for improved awarding, reporting, compliance, communication and stewardship of those awards. Additional details regarding our acquisition of AcademicWorks are provided in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in this report. During the third quarter, we focused on integrating AcademicWorks' solutions and operations as well as cross-selling.
In October 2017, we closed our acquisition of the United Kingdom-based online fundraising services provider JustGiving, whose online social giving platform has played a powerful role in the growth of peer-to-peer fundraising. The acquisition enhances our capability to serve both individual donors and nonprofits, expanding the peer-to-peer fundraising capabilities we currently offer today through TeamRaiser and everydayhero, which are used by leading nonprofit organizations to connect their causes to the individuals who support them. JustGiving also adds personal crowdfunding to our portfolio, which is an offering we did not previously provide and a fast growing segment of charitable giving. Additional details regarding our acquisition of JustGiving are provided below and in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements in this report.
Both AcademicWorks and JustGiving meet the acquisition criteria discussed above. We remain active in the evaluation of acquisition opportunities to broaden our portfolio, provide better integrated solutions for our customers, differentiate ourselves from the competition and improve our financial performance.
4.Improve Operating Efficiency
We are also focused on operational efficiency to deliver improved profitability. Our organizational model has evolved in recent years allowing us to gain efficiency and consistency in how we execute. We have centralized our operations, including marketing, product management, finance, customer support, customer success and professional services. In 2014, we set a long-term aspirational goal to improve operating margins annually, and increase our non-GAAP operating margins by at least 300 basis points on a constant currency basis from our 2014 baseline of 17.5%, by the end of 2017. Since setting that goal, we have improved margins annually, inclusive of heightened investments to drive future growth and in the midst of migrating our customer base to the cloud. We expect to deliver on our goal, and we see future opportunity ahead to further improve profitability through the infrastructure investments we have made in our back office for scale, focus on operational excellence, and achieving our productivity initiatives.
We have included the results of operations of AcademicWorks in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. We determined that the AcademicWorks acquisition was not a material business combination; therefore, revenue and earnings since the acquisition date are not required or presented.

+Growth in recurring revenue related to increases in transactional revenue from the continued shift toward virtual fundraising and online charitable giving and, to a lesser extent, early progress in initiatives to bring our pricing in line with the market; also included in the increases in total revenue are increases related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of $1.9 million and $7.8 million, respectively
-Decreases in one-time consulting revenue due primarily to less implementation and customization services, in line with our multi-year strategic shift from a license-based and one-time services business model to a cloud subscription business model. Our cloud subscription offerings generally require less implementation and customization services.
-Decreases in one-time analytics revenue as analytics are generally integrated in our cloud solutions
For additional information on the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on our business model continues to shift towards providing predominantly cloud-based subscription solutions. Subscriptions revenue also grew as a result of increases in the number of customers and the volume of transactions for which we process payments. Services and other revenue as well as maintenance revenue declined during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from our continued shift in focus towards selling cloud-based subscription solutions. In general, our NXT and other cloud-based solutions require less implementation services, which we expect to continue to negatively impact services and other revenue over time. In addition, we have also used promotions and discounts for our consulting services as incentives to accelerate the migration of our existing customer base from on-premises solutions toward our cloud-based subscriptions. In the near-term, the transition to subscription-based solutions also negatively impacts total revenue growth, as time-based revenue from subscription arrangements is deferred and recognized ratably over the subscription period, typically three years at contract inception, whereas on-premises license revenue from arrangements that include perpetual licenses is recognized up-front.financial results, see Foreign Currency Exchange Rates below on page 44.

Customer retention

Our recurring revenue contracts are typicallygenerally for a term of three years at contract inception with one to three yearthree-year renewals thereafter. Over time, weWe anticipate a continued decrease in maintenance contract renewals as we transition our solution portfolio and maintenance customers from a perpetual license-based model to a cloud-basedcloud subscription delivery model. WeIn the long term, we also anticipate an increase in recurring subscription contract renewals as we continue focusing on innovation, quality and the integration of our subscriptioncloud solutions, which we believe will provide value-adding capabilities to better address our customers' needs. Due primarily to these factors, we believe a recurring revenue customer retention measure that combines recurring subscription, maintenance and maintenanceservice customer contracts provides an accuratea better representation of our customers' overall behavior. For the yeartwelve months ended September 30, 2017,2021, approximately 93% of our customers with recurring subscription or maintenancerevenue contracts were retained. This customer retention rate is relativelymaterially unchanged from our rate for the full year 2016.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, we generated $123.4$169.8 million in cash flow from operations, reduced ourhad a net decrease in borrowings by $5.8of $3.0 million, inclusive of the incremental borrowings needed to finance the acquisition of AcademicWorks, returned $17.3$98.4 million to stockholders by way of dividendsshare repurchases and had aggregate cash outlays of $29.0$38.0 million for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs.
Security Incident update
As discussed in Note 9 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, we believe that total costs related to the Security Incident will exceed the limits of our insurance coverage during the fourth quarter of 2021. Accordingly, we expect that the Security Incident could negatively impact our GAAP profitability and cash flow during the fourth quarter of 2021 and will negatively impact our GAAP profitability and cash flow for the foreseeable future. As we are currently unable to estimate the approximate amount or range of any such excess, we are unable to determine the effect the Security Incident will have on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
Recent development - JustGiving acquisitionworkforce strategy actions
OnIn October 2, 2017,2021, we acquiredmade the entire issued share capitaldecision to permanently close our fixed office locations (with the exception of JustGivingour global headquarters facility in Charleston, South Carolina), effective December 1, 2021. This change was intended to align our real estate footprint with our transition to a remote-first workforce. We may enter into arrangements for an aggregate purchase pricesmaller more flexible workspaces where necessary. We currently expect to incur between $13.0 million and $14.0 million of £95.0 million, or approximately $127.4 million, in cash, subjectpre-tax costs related to certain adjustments set forththese actions during the fourth quarter of 2021. We expect that the costs associated with these actions will be largely noncash impairment charges, primarily for operating lease ROU assets in the stock purchase agreement. We financed the acquisition through borrowings under the 2017 Credit Facility. As aoffice locations we have determined to exit. These actions are expected to result in future annual before-tax expense savings of the acquisition, JustGiving has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. We will include the operating results of JustGiving as well as the net assets acquiredbetween approximately $3.0 million and liabilities assumed$5.0 million beginning in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Due to the timing of the transaction, the initial accounting for this acquisition, including the measurement of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and goodwill, is not complete and is pending detailed analyses of the facts and circumstances that existed as of the October 2, 2017 acquisition date.

The increases in GMG revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 when compared to the same periods in 2016 were attributable to growth in subscriptions revenue, partially offset by declines in maintenance revenue and, to a lesser extent, services and other revenue. The growth in GMG subscriptions revenue was primarily due to increases in demand across our portfolio of cloud-based solutions. To a much lesser extent, GMG subscriptions revenue growth was also driven by increases in the number of customers and the volume of transactions for which we process payments. We expect that the ongoing shift in our go-to-market strategy towards cloud-based subscription offerings, which, in general, require less implementation services will continue to negatively impact both services and other revenue and maintenance revenue over time.

The increases in EMG revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily attributable to growth in subscriptions revenue, partially offset by decreases in services and other revenue and, to a lesser extent, maintenance revenue. The growth in EMG subscriptions was driven primarily by increases in demand for our cloud-based solutions, as well as an increase in the number of customers and the volume of transactions for which we process payments. We are increasingly selling our Blackbaud CRM solution as a subscription offering, which has resulted in less license fees revenue during the three and nine months ended, September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016. We expect that the ongoing shift in our go-to-market strategy towards cloud-based subscription offerings, which, in general, require less implementation services will continue to negatively impact both services and other revenue and maintenance revenue over time.

The decreases in IMG revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily related to reductions in services and other revenue and maintenance revenue, partially offset by increases in subscriptions revenue. The increases in IMG subscriptions revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were primarily due to increased demand for our cloud-based solutions and, to a much lesser extent, increases in the volume of transactions for which we process payments. The fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates had an insignificant impact on IMG revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and negatively impacted IMG revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 by approximately $0.8 million. Further explanation of this impact is included below under the caption "Foreign Currency Exchange Rates". We expect that the ongoing shift in our go-to-market strategy towards cloud-based subscription offerings, which, in general, require less implementation services will continue to negatively impact both services and other revenue and maintenance revenue over time.

Recurring revenue is comprised of revenue from chargingfees for the use of our subscription-based software solutions, which includes providing access to cloud-basedcloud solutions, and hosting services, accessonline training programs, subscription-based analytic services, such as donor acquisitions and data enrichment, and payment services. Recurring revenue also includes fees from maintenance services for our on-premises solutions, services included in our renewable subscription contracts, retained and managed services contracts that we expect to certain data serviceshave a term consistent with our cloud solution contracts, and our online subscription training offerings, revenue from payment processing services, as well as variable transaction revenue associated with the use of our solutions.
We continue to experience growth in sales of our cloud-based solutions and hosting services as we meet the demand of our customers that increasingly prefer cloud-based subscription offerings, including existing customers that are migrating from on-premises solutions to our cloud-based solutions. In addition, we have experienced growth in our payment processing services from the continued shift to online giving, further integration of these services to our existing solution portfolio and the sale of these services to new and existing customers. Recurring subscriptions contracts are typically for a term of three years at contract inception with one to three year renewals thereafter. We intend to continue focusing on innovation, quality and integration of our subscription solutions, which we believe will drive subscriptions revenue growth.
Cost of subscriptionsrecurring revenue is primarily comprised of compensation costs for customer support and production IT personnel, hosting and data center costs, third-party contractor expenses, third-party royalty and data expenses, hosting expenses, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, amortization of intangible assets from business combinations, amortization of software development costs, transaction-based costs related to payments services including remittances of amounts due to third-parties and other costs incurred in providing support and recurring services to our customers.
The increases in subscriptionsOur customers continue to prefer cloud subscription offerings with integrated analytics, training and payment services. Recurring subscription contracts are typically for a term of three years at contract inception with one to three-year renewals thereafter. We intend to continue focusing on innovation, quality and integration of our cloud solutions, which we believe will drive future revenue growth.

Recurring revenue increased by $18.4 million, or 9.2%, and $21.0 million, or 3.4%, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were2020, driven primarily due to strong demand acrossby the following:
+Increases in transactional revenue of $15.3 million and $15.9 million, respectively, primarily due to the continued shift toward virtual fundraising and online charitable giving; also included in the increases in transactional revenue are increases related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of $1.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively
+Increases in contractual recurring revenue of $3.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively, related to the performance of our cloud solutions, partially offset by a decrease in maintenance revenue as customers migrate to our cloud solutions; also included in the increases in contractual recurring revenue are increases related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of $0.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively
For additional information on the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on our cloud-based solution portfolio,financial results, see Foreign Currency Exchange Rates below on page 44.
Cost of recurring revenue increased by $11.6 million, or 13.7%, and to a much lesser extent, increases in the number of customers and the volume of transactions for which we process payments.
The increases in cost of subscriptions$14.0 million, or 5.3%, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were2020, driven primarily due to increasesby the following:
+Increases in transaction-based costs related to our payments services of $5.5 million and $7.2 million, respectively, related to payment services integrated in our cloud solutions
+Increases in compensation costs of $3.4 million and $7.6 million, respectively, primarily related to stock-based compensation due to the factors discussed above on page 26 and a shift in resources historically supporting one-time services and other towards recurring revenue
+Increases in third-party contractor and hosting costs of $3.2 million and $4.7 million, respectively, as we continue to migrate our cloud infrastructure to leading public cloud service providers and make investments in security
-Decrease in amortization of intangible assets from business combinations of $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021
-Decrease in amortization of software development costs of $1.7 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to an impairment charge in Q2 2020 which did not recur in 2021
-Decrease in rent expense of $0.8 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, largely due to a decrease in leased hardware, including servers, network gear and storage
Recurring gross margin decreased by 1.7% and $12.4 million, respectively and increases in the cost of third-party technology embedded in certain of our subscription solutions of $1.5 million and $4.8 million. Partially offsetting the increase in cost of subscriptions during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was a decrease in third-party contractor expenses of $1.5 million.
The increases in subscriptions gross margin0.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were2020, primarily due to the resultincreases in cost of recurring revenue outpacing the positive economics of shifting customers to our next generation cloud-based solutions as growthincreases in subscriptions revenue outpaced the growth in related costs. The results of AcademicWorks did not significantly impact our subscriptions gross margins for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Maintenance revenue is comprised of annual fees derived from maintenance contracts associated with new software licenses and annual renewals of existing maintenance contracts. These contracts provide customers with updates, enhancements and certain upgrades to our software solutions and online, telephone and email support. Maintenance contracts are typically renewed on an annual basis.
Cost of maintenance is primarily comprised of compensation costs for customer support personnel, third-party contractor expenses, third-party royalty costs, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, amortization of intangible assets from business combinations, amortization of software development costs and other costs incurred in providing support and services to our customers.
The decreases in maintenance revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily comprised of (i) reductions in maintenance from contracts that were migrated to a cloud-based subscription or not renewed and reductions in contracts with existing customers of $9.2 million and $25.7 million, respectively; partially offset by (ii) incremental maintenance from new customers associated with new license contracts and increases in contracts with existing customers of $4.3 million and $12.1 million, respectively; and (iii) insignificant amounts of incremental maintenance from contractual inflationary rate adjustments.
Cost of maintenance during the three months ended September 30, 2017 remained relatively unchanged when compared to the same period in 2016. Cost of maintenance increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same period in 2016, primarily as a result of an increase in compensation costs of $1.0 million, driven by a refinement in the method in which we allocate customer support costs between cost of maintenance and cost of subscriptions.
Maintenance gross margin decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to the increase in maintenance customer support costs combined with the decline in maintenance revenue as discussed above.

One-time services and other revenue includesis comprised of fees for one-time consulting, implementation, training, analytic and installationonsite training services, as well asfees for retained and managed services contracts that we do not expect to have a term consistent with our cloud solution contracts, revenue from the sale of our software sold under perpetual license arrangements, fees from user conferences and third-party software referral fees. Consulting, implementation and installation services involve converting data from a customer’s existing system, system configuration, process re-engineering and assistance in file set up. Analytic services are comprised of donor prospect research, sales of lists of potential donors, benchmarking studies and data modeling services. These analytic services involve the assessment of current and prospective donor information of the customer and are performed using our proprietary analytical tools. The end product is intended to enable organizations to more effectively target their fundraising activities.
Cost of one-time services and other is primarily comprised of compensation costs for professional services and onsite training personnel, third-party contractor expenses,other costs incurred in providing onsite customer training, third-party contractor expenses, data expense incurred to perform one-time analytic services, third-party software royalties, variable reseller commissions, costs of user conferences, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs and amortization of intangible assets from business combinations.
ServicesOne-time services and other revenue decreased by $2.2 million, or 14.8%, and $11.8 million, or 23.9%, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2016,2020, driven primarily due to decreases in consulting revenue and, to a lesser extent, declines in analytics revenue and license fees revenue. We expect thatby the ongoing shift in our go-to-market strategy towards cloud-based subscription offerings, which, in general, require less implementation services, will continue to negatively impact services and other revenue over time. We have also used promotions and discounts for our consulting services as incentives to accelerate the migration of our existing customer base from on-premises solutions toward our cloud-based subscriptions. The maturation of our Blackbaud Enterprise CRM solution is lessening the extent of implementation services required for that solution. In addition, we are increasingly selling our Blackbaud CRM solution as a subscription offering, which has resulted in less license fees revenue.following:
-Decreases in one-time consulting revenue of $1.4 million and $8.5 million, respectively, due primarily to less implementation and customization services, in line with our multi-year strategic shift from a license-based and one-time services business model to a cloud subscription business model. Our cloud subscription offerings generally require less implementation and customization services.
-Decreases in one-time analytics revenue of $1.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively, as analytics are generally integrated in our cloud solutions
Cost of one-time services and other decreased by $2.6 million, or 17.8%, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, when compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016,2020, driven primarily due to decreases in compensation costs of $1.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, which is in line withby the ongoing shift in our go-to-market strategy as discussed above.following:
Services and other gross margin decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to the declines in consulting, analytics and license fees revenue coupled with the slightly more modest reductions in costs of services and other.

We see a large market opportunity in the long-term and will continue to make investments to drive sales effectiveness, which iseffectiveness. We have also implemented software tools to enhance our digital footprint and drive lead generation. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented a componentmodest and targeted headcount reduction during the second quarter of our four-point growth strategy to accelerate revenue growth. We are also investing2020, including a reduction in our sales headcount with a focus on retaining our most highly productive sales executives. The enhancements we are making in our go-to-market approach are expected to significantly reduce our average customer success organization to drive customer loyalty, retention, and referrals. The increase inacquisition cost as well as the related payback period while increasing sales velocity. As a result, we do not expect our sales, marketing and customer success expense in dollarsto return to pre-pandemic levels.
Sales, marketing and as a percentage of total revenuecustomer success expense decreased by $3.8 million, or 7.8%, and $20.2 million, or 12.7%, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily due to increases in compensation costs of $3.3 million and $10.5 million, respectively. Also contributing to the increase in sales, marketing and customer success expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was an increase in commission expense of $1.8 million. Compensation costs increased primarily due to incremental headcount associated with the increase in direct sales, marketing, and customer success efforts of our growing operations.

We continue to make investments to deliver integrated and opendelight our customers with innovative cloud solutions, in the cloud, which is a component of our four-point growth strategy to accelerate revenue growth. strategy. We increased engineering hiring beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Research and development expense remained relatively unchangedexpenses increased by $8.8 million or 38.6%, and $18.3 million or 25.2%, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2016. During2020, primarily driven by the following:
+Increases in compensation costs of $6.1 million and $14.2 million, respectively, primarily related to stock-based compensation due to the factors discussed above on page 26
+Increases in third-party contractor costs of $1.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively, as we continue to migrate our cloud infrastructure to leading public cloud service providers and make investments in security
+Decrease in software development costs of $2.5 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, that were required to be capitalized under the internal-use software guidance
Not included in research and development expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $9.7 million and $10.2 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase in compensation costs2021 and 2020 were $29.2 million and $31.6 million, respectively, of $1.4 million associated with our addition of specialized engineering resources to help drive our solution development efforts was offset primarily by an increase in the amount of software development costs that were capitalized of $1.7 million. As discussed above, the increases in the amounts capitalized were a result of incurring more qualifying costs associated with development activities that are required to be capitalized under the internal-use software guidance.accounting guidance such as those for our cloud solutions, as well as development costs associated with acquired companies. Qualifying capitalized software development costs associated with our cloud solutions are subsequently amortized to cost of subscriptions revenue over the related asset's estimated

We expect that the amount of software development costs capitalized will continue to increase modestlybe relatively consistent in the near-term as we makecontinue making investments in innovation, quality and the integration of our solutions, which we believe will drive long-term revenue growth.
ResearchGeneral and development expense decreased as a percentage of total revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the same periods in 2016, primarily due to productivity gains, which have allowed us to scale our business. The increases in the amounts of software development costs capitalized as discussed above also contributed to the decreases in research and development expense as a percentage of total revenue.

Interest expense in rentdollars and as a percentage of total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was relatively in line with the same period in 2020.
The increase in interest expense in dollars and as a percentage of $0.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and net increases in acquisition-related expenses and integration costs of $0.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively. An increase of $2.5 million in employee severance coststotal revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 also drove up general and administrative expense. The increases in rent expense were primarily driven by the end in the fourth quarter of 2016 of the South Carolina state incentive payments we received as a result of locating our headquarters facility in Berkeley County, South Carolina. These amounts were recorded as a reduction of rent expense upon receipt. Also contributing to the increases in rent expense were new operating leases for equipment that we have historically purchased.
General and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue remained relatively unchanged during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, when compared to the same periods in 2016.

To the extent that our customers are billed for our solutions and services in advance of delivery, we record such amounts in deferred revenue. Our recurring revenue contracts are generally for a term of three years at contract inception, billed annually in advance, and non-cancelable. We have been for several years successfully shifting our legacy customer base away from annual renewals and moving them onto multi-year renewal contracts. We generally invoice our subscription and maintenance customers with recurring revenue contracts in annual cycles 30 days prior to the end of the contract term. each one-year period.
Deferred revenue from subscriptionsrecurring revenue contracts increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, primarily due to an increase in subscription sales, as well as a seasonal increase in subscription customer contract renewals.renewals and, to a lesser extent, early progress in initiatives to bring our pricing in line with the market. Historically, due to the timing of customer budget cycles, we have an increase in customer contract renewals inat or near the beginning of our second quarter as compared to our fourththird quarter. The increase in deferredDeferred revenue from one-time services and other increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was2021, primarily the result of an increase in training sales and related billings.

The increase in deferred revenue from services and other. The decrease in deferred revenue attributable to maintenance during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to the continuing shift in our go-to-market strategy towards cloud-based subscription offerings, which do not require maintenance contracts.
We have acquired businesses whose net tangible assets include deferred revenue. In accordance with GAAP reporting requirements, we recorded write-downs of deferred revenue from customer arrangements predating the acquisition to fair value, which resulted in lower recorded deferred revenue as of the acquisition date than the actual amounts paid in advance for solutions and services under those customer arrangements. Therefore, our deferred revenue after an acquisition will not reflect the full amount of deferred revenue that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value. Further explanation of this impact is included below under the caption "Non-GAAP financial measures".

Furthermore, the 2020 effective tax rate was positively impacted by a favorable return to provision adjustment offset against tax expense attributable to a corporate income tax rate increase enacted during the period.
The decreaseincrease in our effective income tax rate duringfor the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021 when compared to the same period in 2016,2020, was primarily due to a $9.0 million discrete tax benefit to expense relating to stock-based compensation items, as compared to a $4.3 million discrete tax benefit for the same period in 2016. The increase in the discrete tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as comparedattributable to the same period in 2016, was attributable to an increase in the market price for sharesimpact of our common stock, as reported by NASDAQ, as well as an increase in the number of stock awards that vested and were exercised.

Non-GAAP financial measuresFinancial Measures
The operating results analyzed below are presented on a non-GAAP basis. We use non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per sharefinancial measures internally in analyzing our operational performance. Accordingly, we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. While we believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies.
We have acquired businesses whose net tangible assets include deferred revenue. In accordance with GAAP reporting requirements, we recorded write-downs of deferred revenue under arrangements predating the acquisition to fair value, which resulted in lower recognized revenue than the contributed purchase price until the related obligations to provide services under such arrangements are fulfilled. Therefore, our GAAP revenues after the acquisitions will not reflect the full amount of revenue that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value. The non-GAAP measures described below reverse the acquisition-related deferred revenue write-downs so that the full amount of revenue booked by the acquired companies is included, which we believe provides a more accurate representation of a revenue run-rate in a given period and, therefore, will provide more meaningful comparative results in future periods.
The non-GAAP financial measures discussed below exclude the impact of certain transactions because we believe they are not directly related to our operating performance in any particular period, but are for our long-term benefit over multiple periods. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in our business.

For companies, if any, acquired in the immediately preceding fiscal year, each of these non-GAAP organic revenue growth measures reflects presentation of full year incremental non-GAAP revenue derived from such companies as if they were combined throughout the prior period, and it includesthey include the non-GAAP revenue attributable to those companies, as if there were no acquisition-related write-downs of acquired deferred revenue to fair value as required by GAAP. In addition, each of these non-GAAP organic revenue growth measures excludes prior period revenue associated with divested businesses. The exclusion of the prior period revenue is to present the results of the divested businesses within the results of the combined company for the same period of time in both the prior and current periods. We believe this presentation provides a more comparable representation of our current business’ organic revenue growth and revenue run-rate.

Seasonality
Our revenues normally fluctuate as a result of certain seasonal variations in our business. Our transactionfirst quarter has historically been the seasonal low for bookings, with the second and fourth quarters historically being seasonally higher, and our bookings tend to be back-end loaded within individual quarters given our quarterly quota plans. Transactional revenue is non-contractual and less predictable given the susceptibility to certain drivers such as timing and number of events and marketing campaigns, as well as fluctuations in donation volumes and tuition payments. Our transactional revenue has historically been at its lowest in the first quarter due to the timing of customer fundraising initiatives and events. Our revenue from payment processing services hasWe have historically increasedexperienced seasonal highs during the fourth quarter due to year-end giving.giving campaigns and during the second quarter when a large number of events are held. Our revenue from professional services has historically been lower in the first quarter when many of those services commence and in the fourth quarter due to the holiday season. As a result of these and other factors, our total revenue has historically been lower in the first quarter than in the remainder of our fiscal year, with the third and fourth quartersquarter historically achieving the highest total revenues.revenue. Our expenses, however, do not vary significantly as a result of these factors, but do fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to varying timing of expenditures.
Our cash flow from operations normally fluctuates quarterly due to the combination of the timing of customer contract renewals including renewals associated with customers of acquired companies, delivery of professional services and occurrence of customer events, the payment of bonuses, as well as merit-based salary increases, among other factors. Historically, due to lower revenues in our first quarter, combined with the payment of bonuses from the prior year in our first quarter,certain annual vendor contracts, our cash flow from operations has been lowest in

our first quarter, and duequarter. Due to the timing of customer contract renewals and student enrollments, many of which take place at or near the beginning of our third quarter, our cash flow from operations has been lower in our second quarter as compared to our third and fourth quarters. Partially offsetting these favorable drivers of cash flow from operations in our third and fourth quarters are merit-basedbase salary merit increases, which are generally effectivewere replaced in April each year.2020 with performance-based equity awards due to COVID-19, but returned in July 2021. In addition, deferred revenues can vary on a seasonal basis for the same reasons. Our cash flow from financing is negatively impacted in our first quarter when most of our equity awards vest, as we pay taxes on behalf of our employees related to the settlement or exercise of equity awards. During the second quarter of 2021, however, we experienced an increase in the amount taxes we paid on behalf of our employees related to the settlement of equity awards when compared to the same period in 2020, as the equity granted in May 2020 in lieu of cash bonus plans and base salary merit increases vested. These patterns may change as a result of the continued shift to online giving, growth in volume of transactions for which we process payments, or as a result of acquisitions, new market opportunities, new solution introductions, the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors. Our cash flow from financing is negatively impacted in our first quarter when most of our equity awards vest, as we pay taxes on behalf of our employees related to the settlement or exercise of equity awards.

Our principal sources of liquidity are our operating cash flow, funds available under the 20172020 Credit Facility and cash on hand. Our operating cash flow depends on continued customer renewal of our subscription and maintenance and support arrangements, and market acceptance of our solutions and services.services and our customers' ability to pay. Based on current estimates of revenue and expenses, we believe that the currently available sources of funds and anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate for at least the next twelve months to finance our operations, fund anticipated capital expenditures and meet our debt obligations and pay dividends. Dividend payments are not guaranteed and our Board of Directors may decide, in its absolute discretion, at any time and for any reason, not to declare and pay further dividends and/or repurchase our common stock.obligations. To the extent we undertake future material acquisitions or, investments or unanticipatedincur unusually high capital or operating expenditures, we may require additional capital. In that context, we regularly evaluate opportunities to enhance our capital structure including through potential debt or equity issuances.
At September 30, 2017,2021, our total cash and cash equivalents balance included approximately $7.5$15.4 million of cash that was held by operations outside the U.S. While these funds may not be needed to fund our U.S. operations for at least the next twelve months, if we need these funds, we may be required to accrue and pay taxes to repatriate the funds. We currently do not intend nor anticipate a need to repatriate our cash held outside the U.S.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $123.4 million increased by $23.2$60.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, when compared to the same period in 2016,2020, primarily due to an increase in net income adjusted for non-cash expenses, and ana $48.3 million increase in cash flow from operations associated with working capital.capital and an $12.4 million increase in net income adjusted for non-cash expenses. Throughout both periods, our cash flows from operations were derived principally from: (i) our earnings from on-going operations prior to non-cash

expenses such as depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount and adjustments to our provision for credit losses and sales returns and allowances;returns; and (ii) changes in our working capital.
Working capital changes are composed of changes in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and deferred revenue. CashThe increase in cash flow from operations associated with working capital increased $1.6during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, when compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily due to:
fluctuations in the timing of vendor payments; and
the payment of our 2019 cash bonus plans in 2020 and the replacement of our 2020 cash bonus plans with performance-based equity awards (which we expect will continue going forward).
Security Incident update
As discussed in Note 9 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, we believe that total costs related to the Security Incident will exceed the limits of our insurance coverage during the fourth quarter of 2021. Accordingly, we expect that the Security Incident could negatively impact our GAAP profitability and cash flow during the fourth quarter of 2021 and will negatively impact our GAAP profitability and cash flow for the foreseeable future. As we are currently unable to estimate the approximate amount or range of any such excess, we are unable to determine the effect the Security Incident will have on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
Investing Cash Flow
Net cash used in investing activities of $38.0 million decreased by $19.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, when compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to a decrease in bonus payments partially offset by an increase in cash taxes paid.2020.

We used $20.6 million for software development costs, which was up $1.5down $2.4 million from cash spent induring the same period in 2016.

Financing cash flowCash Flow
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, we had a net decrease in borrowings of $5.8 million, even with the incremental borrowings needed to finance our acquisition of AcademicWorks. We also paid $3.1 million in financing costs as a result of refinancing our credit facility.$3.0 million.
We paid $19.1$39.0 million to satisfy tax obligations of employees upon settlement or exercise of equity awards during the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 compared to $10.5$21.3 million during the same period in 2016.2020. The amount of taxes paid by us on the behalf of employees related to the settlement or exercise of equity awards varies from period to period based upon the timing of grants and vesting, employee exercise decisions, as well as the market price for shares of our common stock at the time of settlement. Due to a change in the timing of our annual equity award grants, mostMost of our equity awards nowcurrently vest in our first quarter. In addition,During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we paid dividends of $6.0 million and we did not pay dividends during the same period in 2021, as we discontinued the declaration and payment of all cash dividends, beginning with the second quarter of 2020.
Cash used in financing activities associated with changes in restricted cash due to customers increased $49.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021 when compared to the same period in 2020, as the amount of restricted cash held and payable by us to customers as of December 31, 2020 was larger than at the same date in 2019 primarily due to the timing of year-end donations.
Stock repurchase program
In November 2020, our Board of Directors reauthorized and expanded a stock repurchase program that authorizes us to purchase up to $250.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. The program does not have an expiration date. Under the stock repurchase program, we paid dividendsare authorized to repurchase shares from time to time in accordance with applicable laws both on the open market, including under trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of $17.31934, as amended, and in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of repurchases depends on several factors, including market and business conditions, the trading price of our common stock and the nature of other investment opportunities. The repurchase program may be limited, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we purchased 583,280 and 1,454,148 shares for $40.3 million whichand $98.4 million, respectively. The remaining amount available to purchase stock under the stock repurchase program was relatively consistent with the comparable period$110.6 million as of 2016.September 30, 2021.
20172020 Credit Facility
As discussed above, in June 2017,Historically, we entered into the 2017 Credit Facility. Upon closing, we drew $300.0 million on a term loan and $110.0 million in revolving credit loans, which was used to repay all amounts outstanding under our previous credit facility and for other general corporate purposes.
We have drawn on our credit facility from time to time to help us meet financial needs, such asprimarily due to the seasonality of our cash flows from operations and financing for business acquisitions. At September 30, 2017,2021, our available borrowing capacity under the 20172020 Credit Facility was $356.2$424.6 million. The 20172020 Credit Facility matures in June 2022.October 2025.
At September 30, 2017,2021, the carrying amount of our debt under the 20172020 Credit Facility was $335.8$465.9 million. Our average daily borrowings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172021 were $355.4$471.0 million and $368.5$485.3 million, respectively.

The total liability for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016,2020, was $3.4$4.9 million and $3.1$4.6 million, respectively. Our accrued interest and penalties related to tax positions taken on our tax returns was insignificant$1.2 million and $1.1 million as of September 30, 20172021 and December 31, 2016.
2020, respectively. In February 2017, our Board of Directors approved our annual dividend rate of $0.48 per share to be made in quarterly payments. Dividends at this annual rate would aggregate to $23.0 million assuming 48.0 million shares of common stock are outstanding, although dividends are not guaranteed and our Board of Directors may decide, in its absolute discretion, to change or suspend dividend payments at any time for any reason. Our ability to continue to declare and pay dividends quarterly this year and beyond might be restricted by, among other things, the terms of the 2017 Credit Facility, general economic conditions and our ability to generate adequate operating cash flow.
On October 25, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.12 per share payable2021, we entered into settlement discussions with the IRS Appeals Office in relation to one of our uncertain tax positions, which is not material to the financial statements. Successful settlement is expected to result in release of corresponding liability for uncertain tax positions within next twelve months.
Security Incident
As discussed in Note 9 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, we believe that total losses related to the Security Incident will exceed the limits of our insurance coverage during the fourth quarter of 2021. As we are currently unable to determine the approximate amount or range of any such excess, we are unable to determine the effect the Security Incident will have on December 15, 2017 to stockholdersour results of record on November 28, 2017.operations, liquidity, or financial condition.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2017,2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as previously defined inby Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Approximately 10%17% of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 was generated from operations outside the United States.U.S. We do not have significant operations in countries in which the economy is considered to be highly inflationary. Our consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars and, accordingly, changes in the exchange rate between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar will affect the translation of our subsidiaries’ financial results into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting our consolidated financial results. The accumulated currency translation adjustment, recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of stockholders’ equity, was a lossgain of $0.9 million and $0.5$1.7 million as of September 30, 20172021 and a gain of $0.6 million as of December 31, 2016, respectively.2020.
The vast majority of our contracts are entered into by our U.S. or U.K. entities. The contracts entered into by the U.S. entity are almost always denominated in U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars, and contracts entered into by our U.K., Australian and Irish subsidiaries are generally denominated in British Pounds, Australian dollars and Euros, respectively. Historically, as the U.S. dollar weakened, foreign currency translation resulted in an increase in our revenues and expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. Conversely, as the U.S. dollar strengthened, foreign currency translation resulted in a decrease in our revenue and expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, foreign translation resulted in an decreaseincreases in our revenues and expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. Though we have exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, primarily those between the U.S. dollar and both the British Pound and Canadian dollar, the impact has generally not been material to our consolidated results of operations or financial position. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2021, the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates had insignificant impacts onincreased our total revenue and our income from operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates decreased IMG revenueoperations by approximately $0.8 million.$8.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively. We will continue monitoring such exposure and take action as appropriate. To determine the impacts on revenue (or income from operations) from fluctuations in currency exchange rates, current period revenues (or income from operations) from entities reporting in foreign currencies were translated into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior year period's weighted average foreign currency exchange rates. These impacts are non-GAAP financial information and are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
In June and September 2017, we entered into a foreign currency option contract and a foreign currency forward contract, respectively, to hedge our exposure to currency fluctuations in connection with our acquisition of JustGiving, because the purchase price was denominated in British Pounds. See Note 9 of our consolidated financial statements in this report for additional information about these derivative instruments.
Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if inflationary pressures impact the rate of giving to our customers, there could be adverse impacts to our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 as compared to those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2020.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of the impact that recently issued accounting pronouncements are expected to have on our financial position and results of operations when adopted in the future, see Note 2 ofto our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have market rate sensitivity for interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Our variable rate debt is our primary financial instrument with market risk exposure for changing interest rates. We manage our variable rate interest rate risk through a combination of short-term and long-term borrowings and the use of derivative instruments entered into for hedging purposes. Our interest rate exposure includes LIBOR rates. The Financial Conduct Authority in the U.K. has stated that it plans to phase out all tenors of LIBOR by June 2023. We do not currently anticipate a significant impact to our financial position or results of operations as a result of this action as we expect that our financial contracts currently indexed to LIBOR will either expire or be modified without significant financial impact before the phase out occurs. Due to the nature of our debt, the materiality of the fair values of the

There were no significant changes in how we manage interest rate risk between December 31, 20162020 and September 30, 2017.

Foreign Currency Risk
For a discussion of our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Foreign Currency Exchange Rates” in this report.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are designed only to provide reasonable assurance that they will meet their objectives. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide the reasonable assurance discussed above.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No changechanges in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter ended September 30, 20172021 with respect to our operations, which hashave materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
For a discussion of our legal proceedings, see Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our operations and financial resultsWe are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I,supplementing Item IA, "Risk factors"1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2021 (the “Annual Report”). The following risk factors should be read in conjunction with the risk factors set forth in that Annual Report.
Operational Risks
The Security Incident could have numerous adverse effects on our business.
As previously disclosed, on July 16, 2020, we contacted certain customers to inform them about the Security Incident, including that in May 2020 we discovered and stopped a ransomware attack. Prior to our successfully preventing the cybercriminal from blocking our system access and fully encrypting files, and ultimately expelling them from our system with no significant disruption to our operations, the cybercriminal removed a copy of a subset of data from our self-hosted environment. Although the nature of the incident, our research and third party (including law enforcement) investigation have provided no reason to believe that any data went beyond the cybercriminal, was or will be misused, or will be disseminated or otherwise made available publicly, our investigation into the Security Incident remains ongoing and may provide additional information.
To date, we have received approximately 260 specific requests for reimbursement of expenses ("Customer Reimbursement Requests") and approximately 400 reservations of the right to seek expense recovery in the future from customers or their attorneys in the U.S., U.K. and Canada related to the Security Incident (none of which have as yet been filed in court) and are in the process of assessing what liability may exist pursuant to such claims. Of the Customer Reimbursement Requests received to date, approximately 170 have been fully resolved and closed. In addition, insurance companies representing various customers’ interests through subrogation claims have contacted us. Customer and insurer subrogation claims generally seek reimbursement of their costs and expenses associated with notifying their own customers of the Security Incident and taking steps to assure that personal information has not been compromised as a result of the Security Incident. Our review of customer and subrogation claims generally seek reimbursement of their costs and expenses associated with notifying their own customers of the Security Incident and taking steps to assure that personal information has not been compromised as a result of the Security Incident. In addition, presently, we are a defendant in 19 putative consumer class action cases [17 in U.S. federal courts (which have been consolidated under multi district litigation to a single federal court) and 2 in Canadian courts] alleging harm from the Security Incident. The plaintiffs in these cases, who generally purport to represent various classes of individual constituents of our customers, generally claim to have been harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by us in connection with the Security Incident and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees, and other related relief. To date, we also have received a consolidated, multi-state Civil Investigative Demand issued on behalf of 48 state Attorneys General and the District of Columbia and separate Civil Investigative Demands from the offices of the Illinois Attorney General and the California Attorney General relating to the Security Incident. In addition, we have received communications, inquires and requests from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Information Commissioner’s Office in the United Kingdom (the “ICO”) under the U.K. Data Protection Act 2018, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, the Spanish Data Protection Authority and the Data Protection Commission of Ireland. (See Note 9 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a more detailed description of the Security Incident and related matters.)

We may be named as a party in additional lawsuits, other claims may be asserted by or on behalf of our customers or their constituents, and we may be subject to additional governmental inquires, requests or investigations. Responding to and resolving these current and any future lawsuits, claims and/or investigations could result in material remedial and other expenses that may not be covered by insurance. Governmental authorities also may seek to impose undertakings, injunctive relief, consent decrees, or other civil or criminal penalties, which could, adversely affectamong other things, materially increase our data security costs or otherwise require us to alter how we operate our business. Although we intend to defend ourselves vigorously against the claims asserted against us, we cannot predict the potential outcomes, cost and expenses associated with current and any future claims, lawsuits, inquiries and investigations.
Significant management time and Company resources have been, and are expected to continue to be, devoted to the Security Incident. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded $11.4 million and $35.9 million, respectively, of expenses related to the Security Incident and offsetting probable insurance recoveries of $10.6 million and $34.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, we have recorded cumulative expenses related to the Security Incident of $45.7 million and cumulative probable insurance recoveries of $43.9 million. Although we carry insurance designed to protect us against certain losses related to cybersecurity events, we believe that insurance coverage will not be sufficient to cover all expenses or other losses (including fines) or all types of claims that may arise in connection with the Security Incident, and may not be sufficient for possible future cyberattacks, security compromises and other related incidents. Furthermore, in the future such insurance may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. (See Note 9 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.)
Future publicity or developments related to the Security Incident could have a range of other adverse effects on our business financial condition, resultsor prospects, including causing or contributing to loss of operations, cash flows,customer confidence, reduced customer demand, reduced customer retention, strategic growth opportunities, and the trading price of our stock. There have been no material changes to our risk factors since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.associated retention and recruiting difficulties.
