CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the documents incorporated herein by reference, contains forward-looking statements that anticipate results based on our estimates, assumptions and plans that are subject to uncertainty. These "forward-looking statements" are made subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements consist of, among other things, specific and overall impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic on our financial condition and results of operations and on the markets and communities in which we and our customers and partners operate, trend analyses, statements regarding future events, future financial performance, our anticipated growth, the effect of general economic and market conditions, our business strategy and our plan to build and grow our business, our operating results, our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and technologies, the effect of foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations on our financial results, the impact of expensing stock-based compensation, the sufficiency of our capital resources, our ability to meet our ongoing debt and obligations as they become due, and potential litigation involving us, all of which are based on current expectations, estimates, and forecasts, and the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Words such as “believes,” “seeks,” “expects,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “intends,” “could,” “would,” “likely,” “will,” “targets,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “aims,” “projects,” “estimates” or any variations of such words and similar expressions are also intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Accordingly, they should not be viewed as assurances of future performance, and actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations expressed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those summarized under “Item“Part II, Item 1A. Risk factors” and elsewhere in this report, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 and in our other SEC filings. Forward-looking statements represent our management's beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

2. Basis of Presentation
Unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
The accompanying 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, 2018,2019 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results and cash flows for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019,2020, 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 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, 2018,2019, and other forms filed with the SEC from time to time.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Blackbaud, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reportable segment
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").
Recently adopted accounting pronouncementsRisks and uncertainties
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheet but recognize expenses in the income statement in a manner similar to previous guidance. The way in which entities classify leases determines how to recognize lease-related revenue and expense.Impacts of COVID-19
We adopted ASU 2016-02are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of January 1, 2019 using the transition methodglobal COVID-19 pandemic. We expect that allowed usCOVID-19 will impact all of our vertical markets, across all of our geographies to initially applysome degree, but the guidancesignificance and duration of the impact on our business cannot be determined at this time due to numerous uncertainties, including the adoption dateultimate geographic spread of January 1, 2019 without adjusting comparative periods presented. We electedthe disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and business closures, the effectiveness of actions taken to usecontain the package of practical expedients that allowed us to not reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leasesdisease and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. We did not elect to use the hindsight practical expedient, which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessingother unforeseeable consequences.

Additionally, we elected notThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to applymake estimates and assumptions that affect the recognition requirementsreported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the new leasefinancial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we reconsider and evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those that impact revenue recognition, long-lived and intangible assets, income taxes, stock-based compensation, capitalization of software development costs, our allowances for credit losses and sales returns, costs of obtaining contracts, valuation of derivative instruments and loss contingencies, among others. Changes in the facts or circumstances underlying these estimates due to COVID-19 could result in material changes and actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Recently adopted accounting standardpronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, to short-term leases. Adoptingbe presented at the net amount expected to be collected based on historical events, current conditions and forward-looking information. We adopted ASU 2016-02 had2016-13 as of the January 1, 2020 effective date and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheetfinancial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 aligns the accounting for implementation costs related to a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. We adopted ASU 2018-15 prospectively as of the January 1, 2019, as we recognized $121.6 million2020 effective date and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of lease liabilities and $113.4 million of right-of-use ("ROU") assets for those leases classified as operating leases.operations when adopted in the future.
Summary of significant accounting policies
Except for the accounting policy addedpolicies for leasesallowance for credit losses and allowance for sales returns below that were updated as a result of adopting ASU 2016-02,2016-13, there have been no new or material changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2019, that have had2020.
Allowance for credit losses
Our accounts receivable consist of a material impact onsingle portfolio segment. Accounts receivable are recorded at original invoice amounts less an allowance for credit losses, an amount we estimate to be sufficient to provide adequate protection against lifetime expected losses resulting from extending credit to our consolidated financial statements.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets, accrued expense and othercustomers. In judging the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, we consider multiple factors including historical bad debt experience, the current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities, net of current portion in our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As mostaging of our leases do not providereceivables and current economic conditions that may affect our customers' ability to pay. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing these factors and if any receivables were to deteriorate, an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present valueadditional provision for credit losses could be required. Accounts are written off after all means of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any initial direct costscollection are exhausted and lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when itrecovery is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expenseconsidered remote. Provisions for lease payments related to our operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, whichcredit losses are generally accounted for separately. We do not recognize short-term leases (those that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less) on our consolidated balance sheets. Variable lease payments, which are primarily comprised of common-area maintenance, utilities and real estate taxes that are passed on from the lessor in proportion to the space leased by us, are recognized in operating expenses in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
3. Business Combinations

YourCause acquisition
On January 2, 2019, we acquired all of the outstanding equity securities, including all voting equity interests, of YourCause Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("YourCause"), pursuant to a purchase agreement and plan of merger. The acquisition expands our footprint in corporate social responsibility and employee engagement and enhances our position as a leader in providing solutions to both nonprofit organizations and for-profit companies committed to addressing social issues. We acquired the equity securities for an aggregate purchase price of $157.7 million in cash, net of closing adjustments. The purchase price and related expenses were funded primarily through borrowings under the 2017 Credit Facility (as defined below). As a result of the acquisition, YourCause has become a wholly owned subsidiary of ours. The operating results of YourCause have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred insignificant acquisition-related expenses associated with the acquisition, which were recorded in general and administrative expense.

We maintain a reserve for returns and liabilities assumed in the table below arecredits which is estimated based on our best estimatesseveral factors including historical experience, known credits yet to be issued, the aging of customer accounts and assumptions asthe nature of service level commitments. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing these factors. Provisions for sales returns and credits are charged against the related revenue items.
Below is a summary 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 intangible assets as well as the assumed deferred revenue and deferred income tax balances.

The estimated fair value of accounts receivable acquired approximates the contractual value of $4.1 million and $54.7 million of the goodwill arisingchanges in the acquisition is deductibleour allowance for income tax purposes. The estimated goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the opportunities for expected synergies from combining the operations and assembled workforce of YourCause. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded insignificant measurement period adjustments to the estimated fair value of the YourCause assets acquired and liabilities assumed following the receipt of new information. The adjustments resulted in an increase to net working capital, excluding deferred revenue, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.sales returns.

The estimated fair values of the 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 assets are being amortized on an accelerated basis. Marketing assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis. The non-compete agreements were fully amortized as of March 31, 2019, based on the insignificance of the acquired assets.
We determined that the impact of this acquisition was not material to our consolidated financial statements; therefore, separate presentation of revenue and earnings since the acquisition date and pro forma information are not required nor included herein.

5.4. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We compute basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) 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 (loss) 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. Diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was the same as basic loss per share as there was a net loss in the period and inclusion of potentially dilutive securities was anti-dilutive.

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 Accounting 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.
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. The Financial Conduct Authority in the U.K. has stated that it plans to phase out LIBOR by the end of calendar year 2021. 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 before the 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, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, 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, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, as the debt bears interest rates that approximate market value. As LIBOR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals, our debt is 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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. Additionally, we did not hold any Level 3 assets or liabilities during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019.

Non-recurring fair value measurements
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include intangible assets, goodwill and operating lease ROUright-of-use ("ROU") assets, which 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 the intangiblethese assets other than goodwill 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.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $1.3 million in impairments of operating lease ROU assets associated with certain leased office spaces we ceased using as part of our facilities optimization restructuring. These impairments were recorded as restructuring expense on our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. See Note 15 to these consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding our facilities optimization restructuring.
There were no non-recurring fair value adjustments to our long-lived assets, intangible assets, operating lease ROU assets and goodwill during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019, except for insignificant business combination accounting adjustmentsMarch 31, 2020.

In June 2017, we entered into a five-year $700.0 million senior credit facility (the "2017 Credit Facility"). At March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with our debt covenants under the 2017 Credit Facility.
Other debt
In December 2019, we entered into a 51-month $2.2 million agreement to finance our purchase of software and related services for our internal use. The agreement is a non-interest-bearing note requiring four equal annual payments, where the first payment was due in January 2020. Interest associated with the note will be imputed at the rate we would incur for amounts borrowed under the 2017 Credit Facility.
In January 2020, we entered into an additional 39-month $3.5 million agreement to finance our purchase of software and related services for our internal use. The agreement is a non-interest-bearing note requiring three equal annual payments, where the first payment was due in March 2020.

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 loss as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 that is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months is $0.9$4.6 million. There were no ineffective portions of our interest rate swap derivatives during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and 2018.2019. See Note 1312 to these consolidated financial statements for a summary of the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component.
10.9. Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
We have operating leases for corporate offices, subleased offices and certain equipment and furniture. Our leases have remaining lease termsAs of less than 1 year to 19 years, some of which include options to extend theMarch 31, 2020, we had operating leases for up to 5 years. We do not have lease agreements with residual value guarantees, sale leaseback terms or material restrictive covenants.
In May 2016, we entered into a lease agreement for our New Headquarters Facility in Charleston, South Carolina. There are two phases for construction of the New Headquarters Facility. Phase One included a building with approximately 172,000 rentable square feet, which we began using in April 2018. The lease agreement also grants us a Phase Two option to request that the landlord construct and lease to us a second office building and related improvements. The lease agreement expires in April 2038 and provides for four renewal periods of five years each at a base rent equal to the then prevailing market rate for comparable buildings.
We continue to lease our former headquarters facility, now called our Customer Operations Center, in Charleston, South Carolina. The lease expires in October 2023 and has two five-year renewal options. We also have a lease for office space in Austin, Texas which expires in September 2023 and has two five-year renewal options.
For each of the leases discussed above, we have not included the renewal options in the lease terms for calculating the lease liability as the renewal options allow us to maintain operational flexibility and we are not reasonably certain we will exercise these options at this time.
As of September 30, 2019, we did not have any significant future leasesequipment that had not yet commenced.

Other commitments
The term loans under the 2017 Credit Facility require periodic principal payments. The balance of the term loans and any amounts drawn on the revolving credit loans are due upon maturity of the 2017 Credit Facility in June 2022.
We have contractual obligations for third-party technology used in our solutions and for other services we purchase as part of our normal operations. In certain cases, these arrangements require a minimum annual purchase commitment by us. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the remaining aggregate minimum purchase commitment under these arrangements was approximately $87.7$76.7 million through 2023.
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. We make a provision for a loss contingency when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted 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 as of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, that no provision for liability nor disclosure is required related to any claim against us because (a) there is not a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized (if any) may be incurred with respect to such claim; (b) a reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be estimated; or (c) such estimate is immaterial.
All legal costs associated with litigation are expensed as incurred. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, we believe that we have valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against us. It is possible, nevertheless, that our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be negatively affected in any particular period by an unfavorable resolution of one or more of such proceedings, claims or investigations.

The increasesCoronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2020.  We will continue to analyze and monitor potential impact throughout the year.
The decrease in our effective income tax rate during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, when compared to the same periodsperiod in 2018, were2019, was primarily due to a decrease in the impact of discrete benefit totax benefits on pre-tax income tax expense relating to stock-based compensation. The impact was attributable to a decrease infor the market price for shares of our common stock, whenquarter as compared to pre-tax loss for the same periodsperiod in 2018, as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq").

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, approximately $785$811 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 60% 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 (payment services and usage).
Contract balances
Our contract assets as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20182019 were insignificant. Our opening and closing balances of deferred revenue were as follows:

The increasedecrease in deferred revenue during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was primarily due to new subscription sales of our cloud-based solutions and a seasonal increase in customer contract renewals.less billings for recurring revenue contracts. 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. Our acquisitionquarter generally resulting in our lowest balance of YourCause on January 2, 2019 also modestly contributed to the increase in deferred revenue since December 31, 2018.at the end of our first quarter. The amount of revenue recognized during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period was approximately $271$113 million. The amount of revenue recognized during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was insignificant.

15.14. Restructuring
During 2017, in an effort to further our organizational objectives, including improved operating efficiency, customer outcomes and employee satisfaction, we initiated a multi-year plan to consolidate and relocate some of our existing offices to highly modern and more collaborative workspaces with short-term financial commitments. These workspaces are also more centrally located for our employees and closer to our customers and prospects. Restructuring costs incurred prior to our adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 consisted primarily of costs to terminate lease agreements, contractual lease payments, net of estimated sublease income, upon vacating space as part of the plan, as well as insignificant costs to relocate affected employees and write-off facilities-related fixed assets that we would no longer use.
Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 at January 1, 2019, we reduced our operating lease ROU assets recognized at transition by the carrying amounts of the restructuring liabilities for certain leased office spaces that we ceased using prior to December 31, 2018. See additional details below.
Restructuring costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 consisted primarily of operating lease ROU asset impairment costs and, to a lesser extent, lease payments for offices we have ceased using and write-offs of facilities-related fixed assets that we will no longer use.
We currently expect to incur before-tax restructuring costs associated with these activities of between $8.5 million and $9.5 million, with substantially all of the remaining costs expected to be incurred by the end of 2019.
The following table summarizescompleted our facilities optimization restructuring costsplan as of September 30, 2019:December 2019. We incurred $2.0 million in before-tax restructuring charges related to these activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

15. Subsequent Events

COVID-19
To better enable us to weather the extraordinary business challenges occasioned by the global COVID-19 pandemic, to protect the safety and welfare of our employees, and to further effect our long-term strategy to deliver the greatest value to our stockholders, we have taken several actions. These initial measures taken, in addition to suspending the payment of quarterly dividends as discussed in Note 12 to these consolidated financial statements, are expected to provide us the financial flexibility needed to manage a wide array of outcomes that may result from the pandemic. Certain of the actions commenced, after the quarter ended March 31, 2020, include the following:
Our 401(k) match program, whereby we have historically matched 50% of qualified U.S. employees' contributions to our 401(k) plan up to 6% of their salaries, was temporarily suspended effective with the payroll period commencing April 1, 2020. We have not yet determined when the match might recommence.

IncludesOn May 1, 2020, we granted restricted stock units to our employees that were eligible for base salary merit increases in lieu of such increases, which will vest on May 1, 2021 subject to the recipient's continued employment with us. The grant date fair value of these awards was $1.38.3 million of operating lease ROU asset impairment costs..
On May 1, 2020, we granted performance-based restricted stock units to our employees that were eligible for a 2020 cash bonus plan in lieu of such cash bonus, which may be earned and become eligible for vesting on May 1, 2021 subject to meeting certain performance conditions and the recipient's continued employment with us. The grant date fair value of these awards was $34.4 million.

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 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 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, companies,higher education institutions, K–12 schools, healthcare organizations, 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 three decades, we are headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, and have operations in the United States, Australia, Canada, Costa Rica and the United Kingdom.
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 payment and transaction services; (iii) providing software maintenance and support services; and (iv) providing professional services, including implementation, consulting, training, analytic and other services.
During 2019,COVID-19 Impact
The outbreak of COVID-19 in numerous countries across the globe, including each country in which we currently operate, has adversely impacted the U.S. and global economies. We began 2020 with strong execution against our financial plan. In March 2020, we began to experience disruptions to our business from COVID-19, and the pandemic continues to impact each of our markets.
To better enable us to weather the extraordinary business challenges occasioned by the global COVID-19 pandemic, to protect the safety and welfare of our employees, and to further effect our long-term strategy to deliver the greatest value to our stockholders, we have taken several actions. These initial measures taken are expected to provide us the financial flexibility needed to manage a wide array of outcomes that may result from the pandemic and create over $300 million of additional annualized borrowing capacity. Some of these actions include the following:
Enacted our business continuity plans so that we can continue to serve our customers while protecting the well-being of our employees;
Closed our offices worldwide and transitioned our more than 3,600 global employees to work remotely;
Rescinded our previously announced policy to pay an annual dividend at a rate of $0.48 per share of common stock and discontinued the declaration and payment of all cash dividends, beginning with the second quarter of 2020 and thereafter until such time, if any, as our Board of Directors may otherwise determine in its sole discretion;
Temporarily suspended our 401(k) match program, whereby we have historically matched 50% of qualified U.S. employees' contributions to our 401(k) plan up to 6% of their salaries, effective with the payroll period commencing April 1, 2020;
Temporarily froze our hiring efforts;
Michael Gianoni, our President and Chief Executive Officer, elected to forego receipt of all but that portion of his base salary necessary to fund, on a pre-tax basis, his contributions to continue to participate in our health benefits plan, effective with the payroll period commencing April 1, 2020 and until Mr. Gianoni otherwise determines;
Restricted non-essential employee travel and put in place other operating cost reductions;
All of our employees with a base salary equal to or less than $75 thousand received financial support in the form of a one-time bonus of $1 thousand on April 30, 2020;

On May 1, 2020, we granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") to our employees that were eligible for base salary merit increases in lieu of such increases, which will vest on May 1, 2021 subject to the recipient's continued employment with us; and
On May 1, 2020, we granted performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") to our employees that were eligible for a 2020 cash bonus plan in lieu of such cash bonus, which may be earned and become eligible for vesting on May 1, 2021 subject to meeting certain performance conditions and the recipient's continued employment with us.

In addition to the initial actions we have taken to date, we are continuously evaluating further possible actions in order to respond quickly to rapidly changing conditions, if needed. The economic impact of COVID-19 on the social good industry remains uncertain and, consequently, we expect that our operating environment may continue to be challenging for the remainder of 2020, and potentially beyond, as existing and prospective customers remain cautious in their purchase decisions.

Notwithstanding these conditions, we remain focused on continuing to execute on our four-point growth strategy targeted to drive solution and service innovation, quality enhancement, increasing operating efficiency and financial performance:strengthening our leadership position.
Four-Point Growth Strategy
1Delight Customers with Innovative Cloud Solutions
2Drive Sales Effectiveness
3Expand Total Addressable Market
4Improve Operating Efficiency
1.Delight Customers with Innovative Cloud Solutions
This strategy reflects our relentless focus on driving value and outcomes forMany of our customers throughhave had to cancel or postpone their planned in-person fundraising events due to COVID-19 and our solutions. Our Blackbaud SKY™ platform is a core tenant of this strategyagile engineering teams have moved quickly to respond to these customers. We have been reprioritizing and continuesexpediting product enhancements to power an elevated level of innovation by our engineers. It is also enabling our growing ecosystem of partners who are also passionate about social good,support their changing needs. Examples range from pivoting to createvirtual fitness events to putting new capabilities that often look and feel like Blackbaud-built capabilities. For the first timelivestream fundraising tools in the historyhands of both organizations and individuals. This industry has been undergoing a digital transformation in which we have been the Company, thereglobal leader and that has accelerated in recent weeks. Our move over the last several years to cloud solutions purpose-built for vertical markets has proved to be the right strategy as this crisis has highlighted how important modern, scalable, and secure cloud systems are now significantly more outside developers developing on our platform than Blackbaud engineers.
The customers we serve require vertical specific business solutions to automate their operations. Among the many product and innovation updates across all of our vertical markets, we recently announced the general availability of Blackbaud Church Management™, which is already transforming the church technology landscape. Within just one year of announcing plans for Blackbaud Church Management, we now serve churches in more than half of the 50 U.S. states, representing congregations of all different sizes and spanning more than 10 denominations. Bringing this solution to market is a significant step toward addressing several challenges in the church market and a substantial opportunity for Blackbaud.
We have built an environment of rapid innovation through a combination of our modern cloud architecture and industry standard methodologies. Our early adopter customers have a significant role in shaping our new solutions and our SKY platform enables us to rapidly iterate based on their feedback before releasing the solutions to the market. This culture of innovation led to the general availability of Blackbaud Church Management and the process is highly repeatable. For example, we are also well underway with early adopters in our Higher Education vertical as we extend our proven Education Management portfolio up market.

2.Drive Sales Effectiveness
We have spent the last several years organizingbeen investing in sales and marketing to better address our large market opportunity and, as part of this effort, we have implemented software tools to enhance our digital footprint and drive efficiency. The investments we have made enable us to quickly adapt to changing market conditions, including competitive opportunities. Our ability to ensure business continuity for our customers, perform at scale and layingpivot to offer solutions to the foundationchanging needs of our customers has become a new differentiator for us, and we have moved quickly to capitalize on these early opportunities by leveraging our salespeopleenhanced go-to-market capabilities. While the disruption caused by the virus has caused some deal pipeline to be more successful. This year marks an important milestone in that processpush out to our second quarter and the second half of 2020, we have been able to showcase ourselves as the structural transformationbest long-term partner for social good organizations and we remain very well positioned as a leader in sales is now largely complete, enablingthis market. As part of our account executives to focuscost control measures, we have put a freeze on leading with total solution selling by vertical, driving more products per customer, higher ASPs and overall increased customer lifetime value. Withhiring across the structural changes behind us, our focus is on adding sales headcount and improving overall sales productivity. This effort extends beyond our sales organization into areas like marketing, where we are investing in the necessary technology and resources to efficiently drive an increased number of quality leads and better cover our large addressable market. Over the last three years, we've tripled the number of account executives dedicated to prospect accounts, and these investments are just one way we're equipping our growing salesforce to be more effective.company, including sales.
3.Expand TAM
In January 2019, we acquired YourCause, a market leader in corporate social responsibility software, and our ability to move fast on back-office integration is enabling us to further differentiate our solutions from the competition. As corporate social responsibility programs are implemented around the world, it is becoming increasingly important for companies to have acute local knowledge in the countries where employees are accessing their programs and to remove any functionality barriers. We recently announced expansion in YourCause's global footprint by developing in-market partnerships to advance employee giving and nonprofit support globally, while also implementing key product features for universal functionality. Our TAM now stands at over $10 billion, andWhile we remain active in the evaluation of opportunities to further expand our addressable market through acquisitions and internal product development.
4.Improve Operating Efficiency
development, our top priority in the near-term is protecting our people and continuing to support our customers. We are also focused on operational efficiency to strengthen the business and positionhave significant opportunities in front of us for long-term success. This continuous effort spans the entire organization as we drive towardsare less than 10% penetrated into a more scalable operating model that creates efficiency and consistency in how we execute through infrastructure investments, productivity initiatives, and organizational re-alignments. For example, we are now selling a portfoliototal addressable market of modern cloud solutions, which is driving a shift away from one-time services as we reduce the hours needed for implementation and integration of our solutions. In order to efficiently scale as the Company continues to grow, we are continuing to build out our partner ecosystem, which includes partnerships to implement our cloud solutions. We have made significant progress building out this program in 2019 and expect to continue the effort in 2020.

The increases in total revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the same periods in 2018, were primarily driven by growth in recurring revenue as we continue to see positive demand from customers across our portfolio of cloud-based solutions. Our acquisition of YourCause, which occurred on January 2, 2019, also contributed to the increases in recurring and total revenue. As expected, one-time services and other revenue declined $5.0 million and $14.3 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to our continued shift in focus towards selling cloud-based subscription solutions. In general, our cloud-based solutions include integrated analytics, training and payments services, and require less implementation services and little to no customization services. We are also selling more subscription-based contracts for retained services and services embedded in our renewable cloud-based solution contracts. As a result, we continue to expect one-time services and other revenue to decline.over $10 billion.

4.Improve Operating Efficiency
We have made transformational changes to our business, which has created a scalable operating model that has been tested with this global crisis. Our internal IT and organization structure changes over the last several years enabled us to immediately go virtual and have all of our global employees working from home as if they continued to come into the office every day, allowing our high level of support to continue. Our support teams immediately became an efficient mobile call center. Not only did the team maintain service levels, but they have driven customer satisfaction levels into the high nineties. Our implementation services teams had previously moved to a largely remote implementation model before this crisis and are fully equipped to continue customer engagements uninterrupted. We have reorganized our business to focus on vertical go-to-market teams with a centralized back-office consisting of global centers of excellence, and those changes are now benefiting us.

Increases in employee severance of $1.9 million, amortization of intangible assets from business combinations of $1.8 million and rent expense of $1.7 million, also negatively impacted income from operations during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019. The increases in stock-based compensation expense were primarily driven by an increase in the grant date fair value of our annual equity awards granted to employees during the first quarter of 2019,March 31, 2020, when compared to the grant date fair value of the awards granted during the same period in 2018. The increase2019, driven largely by the following:
+Growth in total revenue, as described above
+Decrease in employee severance of $3.3 million related to the elimination of certain roles within the company, most of which occurred during the first quarter of 2019
+Decrease in restructuring costs of $1.9 million as our facilities optimization plan was largely completed as of December 31, 2019
+Decrease in acquisition-related expenses and integration costs of $1.1 million
+Decrease in amortization of intangible assets from business combinations of $1.1 million
-Increase in cost of revenue of $5.6 million related to increases in transaction-based costs, amortization of software development costs, third-party contractor costs and data center costs
-Increased investments we have made in our sales organization, including the elevated headcount of our direct sales force and our lead generation teams beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018

There are three primary revenue categories with related business drivers that we continue to monitor closely in rent expenselight of the COVID-19 pandemic:
1.Contractual Recurring Revenue (approximately two thirds of total revenue in 2019)
Recurring subscription contracts are typically for a term of three years at contract inception, billed annually in advance, and we have been for several years successfully shifting our legacy customer base away from annual renewals and moving them onto multi-year renewal contracts. Approximately one-half of our contracted recurring revenue will be up for renewal during 2020, with the seasonal high for renewals and collections during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily associatedthird quarter driven largely by mid-year fiscal year-ends and timing of the academic school year. To date, our renewal rates are trending ahead of our pre-COVID-19 expectations. We are monitoring our customer receivable balances, payment terms, and creditworthiness and have not experienced a significant deterioration in our customers' ability to pay thus far.
2.Transactional Revenue (approximately one quarter of total revenue in 2019)
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. We have historically experienced seasonal highs during the fourth quarter due to year-end giving campaigns and during the second quarter when a large number of events are held. The early disruptions caused by COVID-19 drove sharp initial declines in our transactional volumes. In recent weeks, we have seen a rebound in volume in the form of online events and campaigns as our customers look for innovative ways to close funding gaps. We are focused on helping our customers successfully stand up virtual campaigns and events.
3.Bookings
Given our ratable revenue recognition model for our recurring subscription contracts and implementation periods, we expect that any declines in our 2020 bookings performance will have a greater impact on our 2021 revenue than 2020. Of the three primary revenue categories discussed above, bookings represents the smallest potential impact on recurring revenue in 2020. One-time services and other revenue, which is tied to bookings, would have a more immediate impact on our total revenue. Our first quarter has historically been the seasonal low for bookings, with the leasesecond and fourth quarters historically being seasonally higher, and our bookings tend to be back-end loaded within individual quarters given our quarterly quota plans. Bookings fell off sharply in the second half of March 2020, and we have seen a slow-down in pipeline build. We are currently expecting a significant shortfall in 2020 bookings compared to our original plan for the year. The magnitude of our 2020 bookings shortfall is expected to be heavily impacted by the depth and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have enabled our teams to offer relief measures to help ease the financial burden for our New Headquarters Facility in Charleston, South Carolina,customers with near-term liquidity needs. For example, we have allowed, on a limited basis, for a 60-day extension on payment terms which commenced in April 2018. The increase in employee severance was relatedwill delay cash collections. However, we expect the impact to the elimination of certain roles within the company, most of which occurredbe largely offset during the first quarterthird quarter. We have also partnered to offer zero-percent financing options for some customers on a case-by-case basis, and we continue to monitor and inform our customers on the available government assistance programs.

Customer retention
Blackbaud, Inc.
(Unaudited)


Our recurring revenue contracts are generally for a term of three years at contract inception with one to three-year renewals thereafter. We 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. In 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 cloud-basedcloud 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 service customer contracts provides a better representation of our customers' overall behavior. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, approximately 92% of our customers with recurring revenue contracts were retained. This customer retention rate is unchanged from our rate for the full year ended December 31, 2018.2019.
Balance sheet and cash flow
At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents were $29.1$25.0 million and the carrying amount of our debt under the 2017 Credit Facility was $503.1$525.8 million. Our net leverage ratio was 2.472.61 to 1.00.
During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we generated $122.1used $24.5 million in cash fromfor operations, had a net increase in our borrowings of $115.6$58.6 million, which was primarily used to finance the acquisition of YourCause, returned $17.7$6.0 million to stockholders by way of dividends and had aggregate cash outlays of $44.1$13.8 million for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs. Historically, due to lower revenues in our first quarter, combined with the payment of bonuses from the prior year in our first quarter and the payment of certain annual vendor contracts, our cash flow from operations has been lowest in our first quarter.
Adoption of new lease accounting standard
On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, using the transition method that allowed us to initially apply the guidance at the adoption date of January 1, 2019 without adjusting comparative periods presented. Adopting ASU 2016-02 had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet as we recognized lease liabilities and ROU assets for those leases classified as operating leases. The impacts of adoption are reflected in the financial information herein. For additional information regarding the impact of our adoption of ASU 2016-02, see Notes 2 and 10 of our consolidated financial statements in this report.

Recurring revenue is comprised of fees for the use of our subscription-based software solutions, which includes providing access to cloud-basedcloud solutions, hosting services, online 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, subscription-basedretained and managed services contracts for retained servicesthat we expect to have a term consistent with our cloud solution contracts, and variable transaction revenue associated with the use of our solutions.
Cost of recurring revenue is primarily comprised of compensation costs for customer support and production IT personnel, hosting expenses, 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.
We continuecontinued to experience growth in sales of our cloud-basedcloud solutions as we meet the demanda percentage of total revenue as our customers that increasinglycontinue to prefer cloud-basedcloud 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-basedcloud solutions, which we believe will drive future revenue growth.
The increases in recurringRecurring revenue increased by $6.8 million, or 3.4%, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, when compared to the same periodsperiod in 2018, were2019, driven primarily due to positive demand across our portfolio of cloud-based solutions as revenue from subscriptions increased $21.2 million and $63.3 million, respectively. The inclusion of YourCause contributed toby the increases in recurring revenue as the acquisition was completed on January 2, 2019. We also saw increases in revenue from subscription-based retained services as well as services embedded in our renewable cloud-based solution contracts. These favorable impacts from subscriptions were partially offset by decreases in maintenance revenue of $4.6 million and $13.8 million, respectively during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the same periods in 2018. These continued decreases in maintenance revenue were primarily related to our ongoing efforts to migrate customers from legacy on-premises solutions onto our solutions powered by Blackbaud SKY, our modern cloud platform.following:
The increases in cost of recurring revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the same periods in 2018, were primarily due to increases in transaction-based costs of $2.9
+Increase in subscriptions revenue of $10.6 million and $9.4 million, respectively, related to payment services integrated in our cloud-based solutions, compensation costs of $2.2 million and $6.7 million, respectively, third-party data and tool costs of $1.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively, amortization of software development costs of $1.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively, and hosting costs and data center costs of $1.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively. Also contributing to an increase in payment services, positive demand from customers across our portfolio of cloud solutions and an increase in services embedded in our renewable cloud solution contracts
-Decrease in maintenance revenue of $3.9 million primarily related to our continuing efforts to migrate customers from legacy on-premises solutions onto our solutions powered by Blackbaud SKY, our modern cloud platform
Partially offsetting the increase in costsubscriptions revenue was a decrease in the mix of recurringretained and managed services contracts we present in recurring. Revenue from retained and managed service contracts that we do not expect to have a term consistent with our cloud solution contracts is included in one-time services and other revenue for the nine monthsbeginning January

The growth in compensation costs was primarily attributablean offsetting increase to an increasing portion of our resources now providing subscription-based retainedone-time services as opposed to one-time. The inclusion of YourCause also contributed to the increases in cost of recurringand other revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020.
Cost of recurring revenue increased by $4.8 million, or 5.7%, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, when compared to the same periodsperiod in 2018. The increase in amortization of software development costs was2019, driven primarily due to investments made on innovation, quality andby the integration of our cloud-based solutions. The increase in allocated corporate costs was primarily driven by investments made in corporate IT, including cyber security and increases in headcount.following:
+Increase in transaction-based costs of $2.3 million, related to payment services integrated in our cloud solutions
+Increase in amortization of software development costs of $1.4 million due to investments made on innovation, quality and the integration of our cloud solutions
+Increase in third-party contractor costs of $1.2 million related to application security and partners delivering services embedded in our renewable cloud solution contracts
+Increase in data center costs as we are migrating our cloud infrastructure to leading public cloud service providers
-Decrease in costs associated with certain retained and managed services contracts for which revenue is included in one-time services and other revenue beginning January 1, 2020, as discussed above
The decreases0.9% decrease in recurring gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, when compared to the same periodsperiod in 2018, were2019, was primarily the result of incremental costs associated with our continued shift toward selling cloud-basedcloud solutions, and retained services, including hosting and data center costs, compensation costs and amortization of software development costs and data center costs. We expect continued pressure on recurring gross margin largely driven by duplicate data center costs as we migrate our cloud infrastructure to leading cloud service providers.

One-time services and other revenue is comprised of fees for one-time consulting, analytic and onsite 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.
Cost of one-time services and other is primarily comprised of compensation costs for professional services and onsite training personnel, 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, costs of user conferences, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs and amortization of intangible assets from business combinations.
One-time services and other revenue decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the same periods in 2018, primarily due to decreases in one-time consulting revenue of $3.9 million and $10.1 million, respectively and analytics revenue of $0.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively. We expect that the shift in our go-to-market strategy towards cloud-based subscription offerings, which generally include integrated analytics and require less implementation and customization services, will continue to negatively impact one-time services and other revenue. We also continue to sell more subscription-based contracts for retained services and services embedded in our renewable cloud-based solution contracts, both of which are recorded as recurring revenue.
Cost of one-time services and other decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the same periods in 2018, primarily due to a decrease in compensation costs of $3.8 million and $10.2 million, respectively, which is in line with the ongoing shift in our go-to-market strategy as discussed above as an increasing portion of our resources are now providing subscription-based retained services as opposed to one-time.
One-time services and other gross margin increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the same periods in 2018, as the reductions in costs of one-time services and other discussed above outpaced the declines in one-time consulting revenue and higher margin analytics revenue associated with the shift in our go-to-market strategy.

The increases in dollars and as a percentage of total revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the same periods in 2018, were primarily due to increases in compensation costs of $4.4 million and $15.7 million, respectively and increases in allocations of depreciation, facilities and IT support costs of $1.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively. Also contributing to the increase in sales, marketing and customer success expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the same period in 2018, was an increase in commissions expense of $2.2 million. The increases in compensation costs were primarily associated with our efforts during the second half of 2018 to increase our direct sales force and we expect to continue making investments during the remainder of 2019. These incremental investments are intended to address the large market opportunity that we see for ourselves and fuel future revenue growth. In addition, compensation costs increased due to incremental headcount associated with the inclusion of YourCause.

Also contributing todriven by the increase in general and administrative expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was rent expense of $1.6 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in acquisition-related expenses and integration costs of $2.0 million. The increase in compensation costs was primarily related to stock-based compensation and our acquisition of YourCause. The increase in rent expense was related to the lease of our New Headquarters Facility in Charleston, South Carolina, which commenced in April 2018.following:
+Increase in corporate IT costs of $0.8M, including cyber security investments
-Reduced amount of compensation costs primarily associated with the decision in March 2020 to replace our 2020 cash bonus plans with grants of performance-based equity awards
-Decrease in acquisition-related expenses and integration costs of $1.1 million
Restructuring
During 2017, in an effort to further our organizational objectives, including improved operating efficiency, customer outcomes and employee satisfaction, we initiated a multi-year plan to consolidate and relocate some of our existing offices to highly modern and more collaborative workspaces with short-term financial commitments. These workspaces are also more centrally located for our employees and closer to our customers and prospects. Restructuring costscommitments, which was substantially completed as of December 2019. We incurred prior to our adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 consisted primarily of costs to terminate lease agreements, contractual lease payments, net of estimated sublease income, upon vacating space as part of the plan, as well as insignificant costs to relocate affected employees and write-off facilities-related fixed assets that we would no longer use.
Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 at January 1, 2019, we reduced our operating lease ROU assets recognized at transition by the carrying amounts of the restructuring liabilities for certain leased office spaces that we ceased using prior to December 31, 2018. See additional details below.
Restructuring costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 consisted primarily of operating lease ROU asset impairment costs and, to a lesser extent, lease payments for offices we have ceased using and write-offs of facilities-related fixed assets that we will no longer use.
We currently expect to incur$2.0 million in before-tax restructuring costs associated with these activities of between $8.5 million and $9.5 million, with substantially all of the remaining costs expectedcharges related to be incurred by the end of 2019. These restructuring activities are currently expected to result in improved operating efficiencies and future annual before-tax savings of between $5.0 million and $6.0 million beginning in 2020.

(1)The individual amounts for each year may not sum to total deferred revenue or current portion of deferred revenue due to rounding.
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 with one to three-year renewals thereafter, billed annually in advance and non-cancelable. We generally invoice our customers with recurring revenue contracts in annual cycles 30 days prior to the end of the contract term.
Deferred revenue from recurring revenue contracts increaseddecreased during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, primarily due to new subscription sales of our cloud-based solutions and a seasonal increase inless customer contract renewals.billings. 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. Our acquisitionquarter, which generally results in our lowest balance of YourCause on January 2, 2019 also modestly contributed to the increase in deferred revenue from recurring revenue contracts since December 31, 2018. Deferred revenue from one-time services and other increased duringat the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to a seasonal increase in advance registration billings associated withend of our bbcon user conference, which occurs each year in October.first quarter.
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".

The decrease in our effective income tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2020, when compared to the same period in 2019, was primarily due to the impact of discrete tax benefits on pre-tax income for the quarter as compared to pre-tax loss for the same period in 2019.
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 share 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.

Non-GAAP organic revenue growth
In addition, we discuss non-GAAP organic revenue growth, non-GAAP organic revenue growth on a constant currency basis and non-GAAP organic recurring revenue growth, in analyzing our performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, for evaluating the periodic growth of our business on a consistent basis. Each of these measures of non-GAAP organic revenue growth excludes incremental acquisition-related revenue attributable to companies acquired in the current fiscal year. 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 they 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.

For companies, if any, acquired in the immediately preceding fiscal year, non-GAAP acquisition-related revenue reflects presentation of full-year incremental non-GAAP revenue derived from such companies, as if they were combined throughout the prior period, and it includes the non-GAAP revenue from the acquisition-related deferred revenue write-down attributable to those companies.
(2)Non-GAAP organic revenue for the prior year periods presented herein will not agree to non-GAAP organic revenue presented in the respective prior period quarterly financial information solely due to the manner in which non-GAAP organic revenue growth is calculated.
(3)To determine non-GAAP organic revenue growth on a constant currency basis, revenues from entities reporting in foreign currencies were translated to U.S. Dollars using the comparable prior period's quarterly weighted average foreign currency exchange rates. The primary foreign currencies creating the impact are the Australian Dollar, British Pound, Canadian Dollar and EURO.

Seasonality
Our revenues normally fluctuate as a result of certain seasonal variations in our business. Our transaction 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 services has historically increased during the fourth quarter due to year-end giving. 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 fourth quarter historically achieving the highest total 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 and the payment of 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-based salary increases, which are generally effective in April each year. In addition, deferred revenues can vary on a seasonal basis for the same reasons. 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 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 operating cash flow depends on continued customer renewal of our subscription and maintenance 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.

To the extent we undertake future material acquisitions, investments or unanticipated capital 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.

To better enable us to weather the extraordinary business challenges occasioned by the global COVID-19 pandemic, to protect the safety and welfare of our employees, and to further effect our long-term strategy to deliver the greatest value to our stockholders, we have taken several actions. These initial measures taken are expected to provide us the financial flexibility needed to manage a wide array of outcomes that may result from the pandemic and create over $300 million of additional annualized borrowing capacity. Some of these actions include the following:
Rescinded our previously announced policy to pay an annual dividend at a rate of $0.48 per share of common stock and discontinued the declaration and payment of all cash dividends, beginning with the second quarter of 2020 and thereafter until such time, if any, as our Board of Directors may otherwise determine in its sole discretion;
Temporarily suspended our 401(k) match program, whereby we have historically matched 50% of qualified U.S. employees' contributions to our 401(k) plan up to 6% of their salaries, effective with the payroll period commencing April 1, 2020;
Temporarily froze our hiring efforts;
Michael Gianoni, our President and Chief Executive Officer, elected to forego receipt of all but that portion of his base salary necessary to fund, on a pre-tax basis, his contributions to continue to participate in our health benefits plan, effective with the payroll period commencing April 1, 2020 and until Mr. Gianoni otherwise determines;
Restricted non-essential employee travel and put in place other operating cost reductions;
All of our employees with a base salary equal to or less than $75 thousand received financial support in the form of a one-time bonus of $1 thousand on April 30, 2020;
On May 1, 2020, we granted RSUs to our employees that were eligible for base salary merit increases in lieu of such increases, which will vest on May 1, 2021 subject to the recipient's continued employment with us; and
On May 1, 2020, we granted PRSUs to our employees that were eligible for a 2020 cash bonus plan in lieu of such cash bonus, which may be earned and become eligible for vesting on May 1, 2021 subject to meeting certain performance conditions and the recipient's continued employment with us.
In addition to the initial actions we have taken to date, we are continuously evaluating further possible actions in order to respond quickly to rapidly changing conditions, if needed.
We have not experienced a significant deterioration in our customers' ability to pay for our solutions or services due to COVID-19. We have received short-term payment relief requests as a result of COVID-19, most often in the form of payment deferral requests. We are evaluating each request on a case-by-case basis to assess the customer's ability to pay. Not all customer requests will ultimately result in modified payment terms, nor are we forgoing our contractual rights under customer agreements. We are continually monitoring our customer receivable balances, payment terms, and creditworthiness for changes that could have a significant impact on the collectability of our accounts receivables, our operating results and financial position.
At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our total cash and cash equivalents balance included approximately $17.8$17.5 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.
Operating cash flowCash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $15.7$14.5 million during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, when compared to the same period in 2018,2019, primarily due to a $8.9$21.0 million decrease in net income adjusted for non-cash expenses, and a decrease in cash flow from operations associated with working capital.capital, partially offset by a $6.5 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 decrease in cash flow from operations associated with working capital decreased $6.8 million during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, when compared to the same period in 2018,2019, was primarily due to to:
an increase in the amountcurrent period bonus payments as a result of deferred revenue recognized slightly outpacing customer billings and an increase in the collectionamounts accrued as of customer account balances in 2018 from an aging improvement initiative. FluctuationsDecember 31, 2019 for over-performance against 2019 targets;
a decrease in the timingcurrent period bonus accrual upon internally announcing the replacement of vendorcash payments also contributed to thefor our 2020 bonus plans with performance-based equity awards; and
a larger decrease in cash flowdeferred revenue during the first quarter of 2020 than the same period a year ago from operation associated with working capital.less customer billings, as described above.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we used $34.5$10.9 million for software development costs, which was up $7.9 million fromrelatively consistent with cash spent during the same period in 2018. The increase2019. We continue to invest in cash outlays for software development costs was primarily related to our innovative cloud-basedcloud solutions, as well as development activities for Blackbaud SKY, our modern cloud platform.
We also spent $9.6$2.9 million of cash for purchases of property and equipment during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, which was down $3.3up $1.7 million from cash spent during the same period in 2018.2019.

Financing cash flowCash Flow
During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had a net increase in borrowings of $115.6 million, which was primarily used$58.6 million. Historically, due to financelower revenues in our acquisitionfirst quarter, combined with the payment of YourCause.bonuses from prior year in our first quarter, our cash flow from operations has been lowest in our first quarter.    
We paid $20.3$19.8 million to satisfy tax obligations of employees upon settlement or exercise of equity awards during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to $27.4$18.4 million during the same period in 2018.2019. 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. Most of our equity awards currently vest in our first quarter. In addition, during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we paid dividends of $17.7$6.0 million, which was relatively consistent with the comparable period of 2018.2019.

In February 2019, 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 $23.5 million assuming 49.0 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 28, 2019, our Board of Directors declared a fourth quarter dividend of $0.12 per share payable on December 13, 2019 to stockholders of record on November 27, 2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in 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 14%13% of our total revenue for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was generated from operations outside the 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 loss of $11.9$9.7 million as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and a loss of $6.6$4.0 million as of December 31, 2018.2019.
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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, foreign translation resulted in a decreaseremained relatively flat 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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates reducedimpacted our total revenue by $5.2 million and our income from operations by $1.1 million.an insignificant amount. 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.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 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, 2018.2019.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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 LIBOR by the end of calendar year 2021. 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 before the phase out occurs. Due to

the nature of our debt, the materiality of the fair values of the derivative instruments and the highly liquid, short-term nature and level of our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we believe that the risk of exposure to changing interest rates for those positions is immaterial. There were no significant changes in how we manage interest rate risk between December 31, 20182019 and September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.
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 changes in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 with respect to our operations, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in this report, we adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019. We implemented internal controls to ensure we adequately evaluated our contracts and properly assessed the impact of the new standard on our financial statements. There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting due to the adoption of ASU 2016-02.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our operationsIn light of the global COVID-19 pandemic and financial resultsrelated developments, we are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I,supplementing Item 1A, "Risk factors"1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 20, 2020 (the “Annual Report”). The following risk factor should be read in conjunction with the risk factors set forth in that Annual Report.
Operational Risks
The COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) has disrupted, and is expected to continue to disrupt, our business, which couldis likely to adversely affect our operations and financial performance.
The outbreak of COVID-19 in numerous countries across the globe, including each country in which we currently operate, has adversely impacted the U.S. and global economies. We have experienced disruptions to our business thus far from COVID-19, and the pandemic continues to impact each of our markets. Governmental authorities have taken, and continue to take, countermeasures to slow the outbreak, including shelter-in-place and business closure orders and large-scale restrictions on travel. Furthermore, because the pandemic is a rapidly evolving situation, we cannot anticipate with any certainty the length, scope or severity of such restrictions in the jurisdictions in which we operate.
Certain of the vertical markets we serve are especially vulnerable to the global business disruption. For example, many arts and cultural organizations, including museums, performing arts centers and theaters, among others, have had to cancel events due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Many of these organizations have also suspended their operations temporarily. In addition, we believe that a number of K-12 private schools, that would ordinarily consider purchasing our cloud solutions for the 2020-2021 academic school year, are delaying their expenditures due to the uncertainty of COVID-19.
We expect that COVID-19 will impact all of our vertical markets, across all of our geographies to some degree, but the significance and duration of the impact on our business cannot be determined at this time due to numerous uncertainties, including the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and business closures, the effectiveness of actions taken to contain the disease and other unforeseeable consequences. This impact could include:
changes in customer demand;
our relationship with, and the financial and operational capacities of our service providers, suppliers and business partners, including their ability to fulfill their obligations to us;
a decline in our customers' ability to use and pay for our solutions and services;
reduced workforce availability and productivity due to working remotely using different technologies and potential health effects and concerns;
risks associated with our indebtedness (including available borrowing capacity, compliance with financial covenants and ability to refinance or repay indebtedness on favorable terms);
the adequacy of our cash flow and earnings and other conditions which may affect our liquidity;
disruptions to our technology network and other critical systems; and
impairment charges against our goodwill and other intangible assets, operating lease right-of-use assets and other long-lived assets.
We believe that business disruption relating to the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to negatively impact the global economy and may materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations, cash flows, 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, 2018.operations.
