NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of DHI Group, Inc. (“DHI” or the “Company”) (formerly known as Dice Holdings, Inc.) have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted and condensed pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal and recurring accruals) have been made to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 20142015 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20142015 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 20152016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year.
Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the condensed consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates during the six month period ended June 30, 2015.2016.

2.   NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The new standard, requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented onin the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the relatedthat debt liability. The recognitionCompany adopted the standard during the period ended March 31, 2016 and measurement forhas retrospectively applied the provisions to all prior periods presented. The Company reclassified the December 31, 2015 balance of $1.6 million of debt issuance costs is not affected by this standard.from Deferred financing costs to Long-term debt, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new standard will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It also will allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it can currently for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The updated standard becomes effective for reporting periods (interim and annual)fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015,2016 and interim periods the following year, with early adoption permitted. Amendments requiring recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement should be applied prospectively. Amendments related to the timing of when excess tax benefits are recognized, minimum statutory withholding requirements and forfeitures should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method. Amendments related to the presentation of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares to meet the minimum statutory withholding requirement should be applied retrospectively. An entity may elect to apply the amendments related to the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows using either a prospective transition method or a retrospective transition method. The Company is determining the expected impact of this standard on its financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard has requirements on how to account for leases by both the lessee and the lessor and adds clarification for what constitutes a lease, among other items. The updated standard becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods the following year, with early adoption permitted. The new standard must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements.using a modified retrospective transition. The Company is assessingdetermining the potentialexpected impact of the newthis standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill results from the expansion of the Company’s market share in the Energy vertical, from intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, including an assembled workforce and site traffic, and from expected synergies from combining operations of OilCareers into the Company’s existing operations. The amount of goodwill from the OilCareers acquisition deductible for tax purposes is $1.2 million.

5.4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)ASC topic on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. As a basis for considering assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy is used, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash, and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and long-term debt approximate their fair values. The fair value of the long-term debt was estimated using present value techniques and market based interest rates and credit spreads.
The Company historically had obligations, to be paid in cash, related to its acquisitions if certain future operating and financial goals are met. The fair value of this contingent consideration is determined using expected cash flows and present value technique. Expected cash flows are determined using the probability weighted-average of possible outcomes that would occur should delivery of certain product enhancements occur. There is no market data available to use in valuing the contingent consideration; therefore, the Company developed its own assumptions related to the expected future delivery of product enhancements to estimate the fair value of these liabilities. A 2% discount rate is used to fair value the expected payments. The liabilities for the contingent consideration were established at the time of acquisition and are evaluated at each reporting period. The expense is included in “Change in Acquisition Related Contingencies” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In January 2016, the Company completed the sale of Slashdot Media and incurred severance costs and additional stock based compensation expense for the acceleration of stock vesting. As a result, the Company recognized a loss on the sale of assets of Slashdot Media.
Effective January 1, 2016, the Company organized leadership responsibilities to leverage operating capabilities more effectively across four of its brands which serve specific industries, and to optimize these brands for future growth by streamlining operations and development. This entailed combining four of its global brands (eFinancialCareers, Rigzone, Hcareers and BioSpace) to have one management structure under a combined group called Global Industry Group (“GIG”).

FASB ASC. The Company estimates forfeitures that it expects will occur and records expense based upon the number of awards expected to vest.
The Company recorded total stock based compensation expense of $2.8 million and $5.5 million (excluding $0.9 million of accelerated stock compensation expense related to Slashdot Media as shown in Note 10) during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and $2.6 million and $5.1 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $1.8 million and $4.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. respectively. At June 30, 20152016, there was $22.3$20.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years.
Restricted Stock—Restricted stock is granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, and to non-employee members of the Company’s Board. These shares are part of the compensation plan for services provided by the employees or Board members. The closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant is used to determine the fair value of the grants. The expense related to the restricted stock grants is recorded over the vesting period. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants.
The restricted stock vests in various increments on the anniversaries of each grant, subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date. Vesting occurs over one year for Board members and over four years for employees.
A summary of the status of restricted stock awards as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 and the changes during the periods then ended is presented below:

The fair value of PSUs is measured using the Monte Carlo pricing model. The expense related to the PSUs is recorded over the vesting period. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company granted 415,000 PSUs. These shares will vest on the dates the Compensation Committee certifies the Company’s achievement of stock price performance relative to the Russell 2000 Index, provided that the recipient remains employed through such date. Performance will be measured over three separate measurement periods: a one-year measurement period, a two-year measurement period and a three-year measurement period. For performance periods one and two, vesting is not to exceed total grant divided by three. For performance period three, vesting is no less than zero and no greater than 150% of initial grant less shares vested in performance periods one and two. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants. The fair value of PSUs is measured using the Monte Carlo pricing model using the following assumptions:

Stock Options—The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.model using the weighted-average assumptions in the table below. This valuation model requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the expected life (the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of the Company’s common stock, a risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The expected life of options granted is derived from historical exercise behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of grant. The expense is measured atstock options vest 25% after one year, beginning on the grant-date fair valuefirst anniversary date of the awardgrant, and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over6.25% each quarter following the service period, which isfirst anniversary. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the vesting period.grants. No stock options were granted during the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015.

The decline in oil prices late in 2014 and 2015 and continued low prices in 2016 has decreased demand for energy professionals worldwide.  This decline in demand and any future declines in demand for energy professionals could significantly decrease the use of the Company’s energy industry job posting websites and related services, which may adversely affect the energy reporting unit’s financial condition

On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom (“UK”) held a referendum in which British citizens approved an exit from the EU, commonly referred to as “Brexit.” As a result of the referendum, Brexit could cause disruptions to and create uncertainty surrounding our business, including affecting our relationships with our existing and future customers and employees based in the UK and Europe along with adversely impacting foreign currencies, particularly the British Pound Sterling as compared to the United States dollar.  These disruptions and uncertainties could decrease demand for finance, technology and energy professionals in the markets we serve. This decline in demand and any future declines in demand could significantly decrease the use of our finance, technology and energy industry job posting websites and related services, which may adversely affect the related reporting unit’s financial condition and results of operations. If recruitment activity is slow in the industries in which we operate during 2016 and beyond, our revenues and results of operations will be negatively impacted. As a result of these factors, the Company further evaluated the fair value of the following reporting units - Dice Europe, Finance and Energy - and does not believe they are currently at risk of failing the first step of the impairment test.  If events and circumstances change resulting in significant reductions in actual operating income or projections of future operating income, the Company will test these reporting units for impairment prior to the annual impairment test.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report. See also our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and the section entitled “Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (Dice Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2014).2015.
Information contained herein contains forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on those statements because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategy. These statements often include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or similar expressions. These statements are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, competition from existing and future competitors in the highly competitive market in which we operate, failure to adapt our business model to keep pace with rapid changes in the recruiting and career services business, failure to maintain and develop our reputation and brand recognition, failure to increase or maintain the number of customers who purchase recruitment packages, cyclicality or downturns in the economy or industries we serve, the uncertainty surrounding the UK’s future departure from the European Union (“EU”), including uncertainty in respect of the regulation of data protection and data privacy, failure to attract qualified professionals to our websites or grow the number of qualified professionals who use our websites, failure to successfully identify or integrate acquisitions, U.S. and foreign government regulation of the Internet and taxation, our ability to borrow funds under our revolving credit facility or refinance our indebtedness and restrictions on our current and future operations under such indebtedness. These factors and others are discussed in more detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014,2015, under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Table of Contents

In online media, we serve the technology community and the marketing and advertising professionals who want to reach this audience where they create, improve, compare and distribute open source software or debate and discuss current news and issues.
Our websites offer job postings, news and content, open source software, career development and recruiting services tailored to the specific needs of the professional community that each website serves.
Through our predecessors, we have been in the recruiting and career development business for almost 25more than 26 years. Based on our operating structure, we have identified fivethree reportable segments under the Segment Reporting topic of the FASB ASC.segments.
Our reportable segments include:
Tech & Clearance— Dice, ClearanceJobs, Dice Europe and career fairsClearanceJobs
Finance—Global Industry Group— eFinancialCareers,
Energy— Rigzone, OilCareers (acquired in March 2014)Hcareers and career fairsBioSpace
Healthcare— Health eCareers and BioSpace
Hospitality— Hcareers
We have other services and activities that individually are not more than 10% of consolidated revenues, operating income or total assets. These include Slashdot Media WorkDigital(business sold in the first quarter of 2016) and IT MediaBrightmatter and are reported in the “Corporate & Other” category, along with corporate-related costs which are not considered in a segment.
Recent Developments
We have initiatedThe UK held a referendum on June 23, 2016 in which a majority of voters voted to exit the processEU (“Brexit”). Brexit could cause disruptions to sell the Slashdot Media business.  Slashdot Media was added toand create uncertainty surrounding our portfoliobusiness, including affecting our relationships with our existing and future customers and employees based in 2012 both to provide the Dice business with broader reach into Slashdot’s user community base and to extend the Dice business outside North America by engaging with SourceForge’s significant international technology user community.  The Company, however, has not successfully leveraged the Slashdot user base to further Dice’s digital recruitment business; and with the acquisition of The IT Job Board and success of Open Web, the anticipated value to the Company of the SourceForge traffic outside North America has not materialized.  The Company now plans to divest the business, as it does not fit within the Company’s strategic initiatives and believes the Slashdot Media business will have the opportunity to improve its financial performance under different ownership.
Slashdot Media contributed revenue of $3.9 million and $7.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $4.7 million and $8.8 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014. Slashdot Media contributed EBITDA of $0.2 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $1.7 million and $2.6 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014.
We have expanded the offerings of our Dice service into the UK and Continental Europe through the rebranding of our European tech career service, Dice Europe (formerly known as The IT Job Board). The rebranding extends the Dice service into Europe and enables customers and professionals to use Dice’s data-driven technologies, providing enhanced services, insights and reach to European customers and professionals.central Europe. See further discussion in Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our Revenues and Expenses
We derive the majority of our revenues from customers who pay fees, either annually, quarterly or monthly, to post jobs on our websites and to access our searchable databases of resumes. Our fees vary by customerscustomer based on the number of individual users of our databases of resumes, the number and type of job postings purchased and the terms of the package purchased. Our Tech & Clearance segment sells recruitment packages that can include both access to our databases of resumes and Open Web profiles, as well as job posting capabilities. Our Finance, Energy,Global Industry Group and Healthcare and Hospitality segments sell job postings and access to our resume databases either as part of a package or individually. We believe the key metrics that are material to an analysis of our businesses are our total number of recruitment package customers and the revenue, on average, that these customers generate. Average monthly revenue per recruitment package customer is calculated by dividing recruitment package customer revenue by the daily average count of recruitment package customers during the month, adjusted to reflect a thirty day month. We use the simple average of each month to derive the quarterly amount. At June 30, 2015,2016 and March 31, 2016, Dice had approximately 7,7507,300 and 7,450 total recruitment package customers.customers in the U.S., respectively, and the average monthly revenue per U.S. recruitment package customer increased from $1,084 and $1,080 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, to $1,124 and $1,121 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Deferred revenue is a key metric of our business as it indicates a level of sales already made that will be recognized as revenue in the future. Deferred revenue reflects the impact of our ability to sign customers to longer term contracts. We recorded deferred revenue of $88.1$85.9 million at June 30, 2016 and $84.3 million at December 31, 2015,, including $1.7 million$969,000 of Slashdot Media deferred revenue classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2015, and $86.4 million at December 31, 2014.2015.
We also generate revenue from advertising on our various websites or from lead generation and marketing solutions provided to our customers. Advertisements include various forms of rich media and banner advertising, text links,

21



sponsorships, and custom content marketing solutions. Lead generation information utilizes advertising and other methods to deliver leads to a customer.
Our ability to continue to grow our revenues will largely depend on our ability to grow our customer bases in the markets in which we operate by acquiring new recruitment package customers and advertisers while retaining a high proportion of the customers we currently serve, and to expand the breadth of services our customers purchase from us. We continue to make investments in our business and infrastructure to help us achieve our long-term growth objectives.
Other material factors that may affect our results of operations include our ability to attract qualified professionals that become engaged with our websites and our ability to attract customers with relevant job opportunities. The more qualified professionals that use our websites, the more attractive our websites become to employers and advertisers, which in turn makes them more likely to become our customers, resulting positively on our results of operations. If we are unable to continue to attract qualified professionals to engage with our websites, our customers may no longer find our services attractive, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations. Additionally, we need to ensure that our websites remain relevant in

20



order to attract qualified professionals to our websites and to engage them in high-valued tasks, such as posting resumes and/or applying to jobs.
The largest components of our expenses are personnel costs and marketing and sales expenditures. Personnel costs consist of salaries, benefits, and incentive compensation for our employees, including commissions for salespeople. Personnel costs are categorized in our statement of operations based on each employee’s principal function. Marketing expenditures primarily consist of online advertising, brand promotion and lead generation to employers and job seekers.

Diluted earnings per share was $0.12 and $0.20, and $0.21, respectively, a decrease of $0.01 or 4.8%.respectively. The decreases were primarily due to a decrease in net income primarily due to disposition related and other costs of $3.3 million or $0.04 per diluted share. This decrease was partially offset by decreased weighted-average shares outstanding due to stock repurchases.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Non-GAAP Measures
We have provided certain non-GAAP financial information as additional information for our operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for measures in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. We believe the presentation of non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow,Free Cash Flow, provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP metric used by management to measure operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure for internal monitoring and planning, including preparation of annual budgets, analyzing investment decisions and evaluating profitability and performance comparisons between us and our competitors. We also use this measure to calculate amounts of performance based compensation under the senior management incentive bonus program. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in our Credit Agreement as “Consolidated EBITDA,”EBITDA”, represents net income plus (to the extent deducted in calculating such net income) interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock option expenses, losses resulting from certain dispositions outside the ordinary course of business, certain writeoffs in connection with indebtedness, impairment charges with respect to long-lived assets, expenses incurred in connection with an equity offering or any other offering of securities by the Company, extraordinary or non-recurring non-cash expenses or losses, transaction costs in connection with the Credit Agreement up to $250,000, deferred revenues written off in connection with acquisition purchase accounting adjustments, writeoff of non-cash stock compensation expense, and business interruption insurance proceeds, minus (to the extent included in calculating such net income) non-cash income or gains, interest income, and any income or gain resulting from certain dispositions outside of the ordinary course of business.
We also consider Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, to be an important indicator to investors because it provides information related to our ability to provide cash flows to meet future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements and to fund future growth, as well as to monitor compliance with financial covenants. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that this measure provides our board of directors, management and investors with additional information to measure our performance, provide comparisons from period to period and company to company by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense) and tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses), and to estimate our value.
We also present Adjusted EBITDA because covenants in our Credit Agreement contain ratios based on this measure. Our Credit Agreement is material to us because it is one of our primary sources of liquidity. If our Adjusted EBITDA were to decline below certain levels, covenants in our Credit Agreement that are based on Adjusted EBITDA may be violated and could

cause a default and acceleration of payment obligations under our Credit Agreement. See Note 76 “Indebtedness” for additional information on the covenants for our Credit Agreement.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our profitability or liquidity.profitability.
We understand that although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our liquidity or results as reported under GAAP. Some limitations are:

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

29


Table of Contents

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on ouryour debt;
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
To compensate for these limitations, management evaluates our liquidity by considering the economic effect of excluded expense items independently, as well as in connection with its analysis of cash flows from operations and through the use of other financial measures, such as capital expenditure budget variances, investment spending levels and return on capital analysis.

Free Cash Flow
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. We believe free cash flow is an important non-GAAP measure for management and investors as it provides useful cash flow information regarding our ability to service, incur or pay down indebtedness or repurchase our common stock. We use free cash flow as a measure to reflect cash available to service our debt as well as to fund our expenditures. A limitation of using free cash flow versus the GAAP measure of net cash provided by operating activities is free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance from operations for the period since it includes cash used for capital expenditures during the period.
We have summarized our free cash flow for the six month periods ended June 30, 20152016 and 20142015 (in thousands).

We have financed our operations primarily through cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2015,2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $32.7$29.5 million compared to $26.8$34.1 million at December 31, 2014.2015. Cash and cash equivalents held in non-United States jurisdictions totaled approximately $23.6$26.6 million at June 30, 2015.2016. This cash is indefinitely reinvested in those jurisdictions. Cash balances and cash generation in the United States, along with the unused portion of our revolving credit facility, is sufficient to maintain liquidity and meet our obligations without being dependent on our foreign cash and earnings.
Liquidity
Our principal internal sourcessource of liquidity areis cash, and cash equivalents, as well as the cash flow that we generate from our operations. In addition, externally, we had $142.0$151.0 million in borrowing capacity under our Credit Agreement at June 30, 2015.2016. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and available borrowings under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy our currently anticipated cash requirements through at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future thereafter. However, it is possible that one or more lenders under the revolving portion of the Credit Agreement may refuse or be unable to satisfy their commitment to lend to us or we may need to refinance our debt and be unable to do so. In addition, our liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for our products and services. We may also make acquisitions and may need to raise additional capital through future debt financings or equity offerings to the extent necessary to fund such acquisitions, which we may not be able to do on a timely basis or on terms satisfactory to us or at all.
Operating Activities
Net cash from operating activities primarily consists of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, stock based compensation, and the effect of changes in working capital. Net cash provided by operating activities was $37.0$24.6 million and $33.4$37.0 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 20152016 and 2014,2015, respectively. The cash provided by operating activities during the 20152016 period increaseddecreased primarily due to cash generated from accounts receivable and lower payments for income taxes. Cash inflow from operations is dependent on the amount and timing of billingstax payments and cash collection from our customers.a decrease in operating income.

Investing Activities
During the six month period ended June 30, 2015,2016, net cash used by investing activities was $4.9$3.1 million compared to cash used of $31.9$4.9 million in the six month period ended June 30, 2014.2015. Cash used by investing activities induring the six month period ended June 30, 2016 consisted of cash paid for purchase of fixed assets of $5.5 million, partially offset by cash received on sale of Slashdot Media of $2.4 million. Cash used by investing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 was attributable toconsisted of cash paid for the purchase of fixed assets of $4.9 million used to purchase fixed assets. Cash used by investing activities in the six month period ended June 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to $27.0 million used to purchase the business of OilCareers.million.
Financing Activities
Cash used for financing activities during the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and 2014 was $26.4$25.8 million and $18.8$26.4 million, respectively. The cash used during the current period was primarily due to $22.6 million of payments to repurchase the Company’s common stock. During the six month period ended June 30, 2015, the cash used was primarily due to $21.4 million of payments to repurchase the Company’s common stock, $6.3 million in net repayments on long-term debt, and $3.8 million in payment of acquisition related contingencies related to The IT Job Board acquisition. During the six month period ended June 30, 2014, the cash used was primarily due to $18.5 million of payments to repurchase the Company’s common stock and $2.3 million in net repayments of long-term debt.

Credit Agreement
In October 2013,November 2015, we entered into a newan Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which provides for a $50.0 million term loan facility and a revolving loan facility of $200.0$250.0 million, with both facilities maturing in October 2018.November 2020. The Company borrowed $65.0$105.0 million under the new Credit Agreement to repay in full all outstanding indebtedness under the previously existing credit facility dated June 2012,October 2013, terminating that facility. A portion of the proceeds was also used to pay certain costs associated with the Credit Agreement and for working capital purposes.agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a LIBOR rate or a base rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 1.75% to 2.50% on LIBOR loans and 0.75% to 1.50% on base rate loans, determined by the Company’s most recent consolidated leverage ratio.
Quarterly payments of principal are required on the term loan The facility commencing in the first quarter of 2014. The facilities may be prepaid at any time without penalty and payments on the term loan facility result in a permanent reduction.penalty.
The Credit Agreement contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants and also contains certain financial covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. Negative covenants include

restrictions on incurring certain liens; making certain payments, such as stock repurchases and dividend payments; making certain investments; making certain acquisitions; and incurring additional indebtedness. Restricted payments are allowed under the Credit Agreement to the extent the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis, is equal to or less than 2.0 to 1.0, plus an additional $5.0 million of restricted payments. The Credit Agreement also provides that the payment of obligations may be accelerated upon the occurrence of customary events of default, including, but not limited to, non-payment, change of control, or insolvency. As of June 30, 2015,2016, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 76 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

We make commitments to purchase advertising from online vendors which we pay for on a monthly basis. We have no significant long-term obligations to purchase a fixed or minimum amount with these vendors.
Our principal commitments consist of obligations under operating leases for office space and equipment and long-term debt. As of June 30, 2015,2016, we had $104.3$99.0 million outstanding under our Credit Agreement. Interest payments are due quarterly or at varying, specified periods (to a maximum of three months) based on the type of loan (LIBOR or base rate loan) we choose. See Note 76 “Indebtedness” in our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to our Credit Agreement.
Future interest payments on our Credit Agreement are variable due to our interest rate being based on a LIBOR rate or a base rate. Assuming an interest rate of 2.19%2.50% (the rate in effect on June 30, 2015)2016) on our current borrowings, interest payments are expected to be $1.4$1.5 million for July through December 2015, $5.4 million for 2016-2017 and $1.92016, $6.0 million in 2018.
In February 2015, a final deferred purchase price payment of approximately $3.82017-2018, and $5.8 million related to The IT Job Board acquisition was made to the seller.in 2019-2020.
As of June 30, 2015,2016, we haverecorded approximately $3.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits as liabilities, and we are uncertain if or when such amounts may be settled. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits considered permanent differences, we have also recorded a liability for potential penalties and interest. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 20152016 are $3.6 million of tax benefits that if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that as much as $779,000$1.0 million of its unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized in the next twelve months as a result of a lapse of the statute of limitations.
Cyclicality
The labor market and certain of the industries that we serve have historically experienced short-term cyclicality. However, we believe that the economic and strategic value provided by online career websites has led to an overall increase in the use of these services during the most recent labor market cycle. That increased usage has somewhat lessened the impact of cyclicality on our businesses as compared to traditional offline competitors.
Any slowdown in recruitment activity that occurs will negatively impact our revenues and results of operations. Alternatively, a decrease in the unemployment rate or a labor shortage, including as a result of an increase in job turnover, generally means that employers (including our customers) are seeking to hire more individuals, which would generally lead to

31


Table of Contents

more job postings and database licenses and have a positive impact on our revenues and results of operations. Based on historical trends, improvements in labor markets and the need for our services generally lag behind overall economic improvements. Additionally, there has historically been a lag from the time customers begin to increase purchases of our recruitment services and the impact to our revenues due to the recognition of revenue occurring over the length of the contract, which can be several months to a year.
The significant increase in the unemployment rate and general reduction in recruitment activity experienced in 2008 through 2009 is an example of how economic conditions can negatively impact our revenues and results of operations. During 2010 and the first half of 2011, we saw a significant improvement in recruitment activity, resulting in revenue and customer growth. From the second half of 2011 into 2014, we saw tougher market conditions in our finance segment and a less urgent recruiting environment for technology professionals. Declines in oil prices in 2014 and 2015 and continued low prices in 2016 have decreased demand for energy professionals worldwide. This decline in demand and any future declines in demand for energy professionals could significantly decrease the use of our energy industry job posting websites and related services. If recruitment activity continues to be slow in the industries in which we operate during 20152016 and beyond, our revenues and results of operations will be negatively impacted.
In our media businesses, advertisers can generally terminate their contracts with us at any time. Our advertisers’ spending patterns tend to be cyclical, reflecting overall macroeconomic conditions, seasonality and company-specific budgeting and buying patterns. Our advertisers are also concentrated in the technology sector and the economic conditions in this sector also impact their spending decisions. Because we derive a large part of our Media revenue from these advertisers, decreases in or delays of advertising spending could reduce our revenue or negatively impact our results from operations.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We have exposure to financial market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant market prices.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We conduct business serving multiple markets, in four languages, mainly across Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America using the eFinancialCareers name. Rigzone, OilCareers, Slashdot Media, Dice Europe and Hcareers also conduct business outside the United States. For the six month periods ended June 30, 20152016 and 2014,2015, approximately 22%27% and 28%29% of our revenues, respectively, were earned outside the United States and collected in local currency. We are subject to risk for exchange rate fluctuations between such local currencies and the pound sterlingBritish Pound Sterling and between local currencies and the United States dollar and the subsequent translation of the pound sterlingBritish Pound Sterling to United States dollars. We currently do not hedge currency risk. A decrease in foreign exchange rates during a period would result in decreased amounts reported in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income, and of Cash Flows. For example, if foreign exchange rates between the pound sterlingBritish Pound Sterling and United States dollar decreased by 1.0%, the impact on our revenues during 20152016 would have been a decrease of approximately $236,000.$149,000.
On June 23, 2016, the UK held a referendum in which British citizens approved an exit from the EU, commonly referred to as “Brexit.” As a result of the referendum, the global markets and currencies have been adversely impacted, including a sharp decline in the value of the British Pound Sterling as compared to the United States dollar. Volatility in exchange rates is expected to continue in the short term as the UK negotiates its exit from the EU. We currently do not hedge our British Pound Sterling exposure and therefore are susceptible to currency risk. In the longer term, any impact from Brexit on us will depend, in part, on the outcome of tariff, trade, regulatory and other negotiations. Although it is unknown what the result of those negotiations will be, it is possible that new terms may adversely affect our operations and financial results.
The financial statements of our non-United States subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars using current exchange rates, with gains or losses included in the cumulative translation adjustment account, which is a component of stockholders’ equity. As of June 30, 20152016 and December 31, 2014,2015, our translation adjustment net of tax, decreased stockholders’ equity by $14.1$27.1 million and $13.9$20.5 million,, respectively. The change from December 31, 20142015 to June 30, 20152016 is primarily attributable to the position of the United States dollar against the pound sterling.British Pound Sterling.

Interest Rate Risk
We have interest rate risk primarily related to borrowings under our Credit Agreement. Borrowings under our Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at a LIBOR rate or base rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 1.75% to 2.50% on the LIBOR loans and 0.75% to 1.50% on the base rate, as determined by our most recent consolidated leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2015,2016, we had outstanding borrowings of $104.3$99.0 million under our Credit Agreement. If interest rates increased by 1.0%, interest expense in the remainder of 20152016 on our current borrowings would increase by approximately $521,000.$500,000.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established a system of controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed,

32


Table of Contents

summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Exchange Act and in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These disclosure controls and procedures have been evaluated under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) for the period covered by this report.as of June 30, 2016. Based on such evaluations, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 20152016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1.Legal Proceedings    
From time to time we may be involved in disputes or litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations. We are currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 1A.Risk Factors    

The UK’s impending departure from the EU could adversely affect us.
The UKheld a referendum on June 23, 2016 in which a majority of voters votedto exitthe EU(“Brexit”). Brexit could cause disruptions to and create uncertainty surrounding our business, including affecting our relationships with our existing and future customers and employees based in the UK and Europe. For example, if as a result of Brexit, financial institutions move all or a portion of their operations out of the UK, it may result in decreased demand for jobs in the financial sector in the UK and could negatively impact the performance of our eFinancialCareers business. Further, the potential loss of the EU “passport,” or any other potential restriction on free travel of UK citizens to Europe, and vice versa, could adversely impact the jobs market in general and our operations in Europe.
In addition, Brexit has resulted in significant volatility in the value of the British Pound Sterling and Euro currencies. Since our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars and we currently do not hedge currency risk, a decline in the value of the Pound or Euro may have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
In the short- to medium-term, because the UK is, and will continue to be for at least two years following official notification to withdraw, a member of the EU, the prospect of Brexit has not impacted UK data protection law.  On July 12, 2016, however, the European Commission adopted the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, which provides a framework for the transfer of personal data of EU data subjects, and on May 4, 2016, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which will replace Directive 95/46/EC (commonly referred to as the “Data Protection Directive”), was formally published.  The GDPR will go into effect on May 25, 2018 and as a regulation as opposed to a directive will be directly applicable in EU member states.  Among other things, the GDPR applies to data controllers and processors outside the EU whose processing activities relate to the offering of goods or services to, or monitoring the behavior within the EU of, EU data subjects.  The regulation of data privacy in the EU continues to evolve, and it is not possible to predict the ultimate content, and therefore the effect, of data protection regulation over time. The current uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the referendum on the UK’s membership in the EU, and a likely withdrawal of the UK from the EU, could impact a range of EU regulations, including in respect of data protection.  This uncertainty subjects us to substantial operational and compliance risk, the results of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The ultimate effects of Brexit are uncertain and will depend on any agreements the UK makes to retain access to EU markets either during a transitional period or more permanently. Brexit could adversely affect European and worldwide economic and market conditions and could contribute to instability in global financial and foreign exchange markets. In addition, Brexit is likely to lead to legal uncertainty, including uncertainty regarding taxation, and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the UK determines which EU laws to replace or replicate. Any of these effects of Brexit, and others we cannot anticipate, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We have disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K the risk factors which materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. AsExcept as otherwise described herein, as of June 30, 2015July 27, 2016 there

33



have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and the other information set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Repurchases of Equity Securities
