Accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts, reflects the net realizable value of receivables and Financing Arrangements

At Septemberapproximates fair value. Unbilled revenue is recorded at estimated net realizable value. Assessing the collectability of the receivables (billed and unbilled) requires management judgment based on a combination of factors, including but not limited to, an evaluation of our historical incurred loss experience, credit-worthiness of our clients, age of the trade receivable balance, current economic conditions that may affect a client’s ability to pay, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Receivables are charged-off against the allowance when the balance is deemed uncollectible.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

We havehad approximately $142.5$177.5 million of available funds under the 2022 credit facility at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, net of outstanding letters of credit of $2.3$4.4 million. The credit facility provides us with operating flexibility and funding to support seasonal working capital needs and other strategic initiatives such as acquisitions and share repurchases. As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.

Available funds under the credit facility are based on a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as defined in the credit facility, and are reduced by letters of credit, license bonds, other indebtedness and outstanding borrowings under the credit facility.

Under the 2022 credit facility, loans are charged an interest rate consisting of a base rate or EurodollarTerm SOFR rate plus an applicable margin, letters of credit are charged based on the same applicable margin, and a commitment fee is charged on the unused portion of the credit facility.

The 2022 credit facility contains certain restrictive covenants customary for facilities of this type, including restrictions on indebtedness, liens or other encumbrances, making certain payments, investments, or to sell or otherwise dispose of a substantial portion of assets, or to merge or consolidate with an unaffiliated entity. The 2022 credit facility also limits our ability to make dividend payments. Historically, we have not paid cash dividends on our common stock. Our Board of Directors has discretion over the payment and level of dividends on common stock, subject to the limitations of the credit facility and applicable law. The credit facility contains a provision that, in the event of a defined change in control, the credit facility may be terminated. In addition, the 2022 credit facility contains financial covenants that require us to meet certain requirements with respect to (i) a total leverage ratio and (ii) minimum interest coverage ratio which may limit our ability to borrow up to the total commitment amount. As of June 30, 2023, we are in compliance with all covenants.

Other Line of Credit - We have an unsecured $20.0 million line of credit by and among CBIZ Benefits and Insurance, Inc. and Huntington National Bank. We utilize this line to support our short-term funding requirements of payroll client fund obligations due to the investment of client funds, rather than liquidating client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. The line of credit, which was renewed on August 1, 2022 and will terminate on August 3, 2023, did not have a balance outstanding at June 30, 2023. We intend to renew this line of credit.

Legal Proceedings

In 2010, CBIZ, Inc. and its subsidiary, CBIZ MHM, LLC (fka CBIZ Accounting, Tax & Advisory Services, LLC) (the “CBIZ Parties”), were named as defendants in lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona and the Superior Court for Maricopa County, Arizona. The federal court case is captioned Robert Facciola, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al, and the state court cases are captioned Victims Recovery, LLC v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al, Roger Ashkenazi, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al, Mary Marsh, et al v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al; and ML Liquidating Trust v. Mayer Hoffman McCann PC, et al. Prior to these suits CBIZ MHM, LLC was named as a defendant in Jeffrey C. Stone v. Greenberg Traurig LLP, et al.

These lawsuits arose out of the bankruptcy of Mortgages Ltd., a mortgage lender to developers in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Various other professional firms and individuals not related to the Company were also named defendants in these lawsuits. The lawsuits asserted claims for, among others things, violations of the Arizona Securities Act, common law fraud, and negligent misrepresentation, and sought to hold the CBIZ Parties vicariously liable for Mayer Hoffman’s conduct as Mortgage Ltd.’s auditor, as either a statutory control person under the Arizona Securities Act or a joint venturer under Arizona common law.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

With the exception of claims being pursued by two plaintiffs from the Ashkenazi lawsuit (“Baldino Group”), all other related matters have been dismissed or settled without payment by the CBIZ Parties. The Baldino Group’s claims, which allege damages of approximately $16.0 million, are currently stayed as to the CBIZ Parties and Mayer Hoffman, and no trial date has been set.

On September 16, 2016, CBIZ, Inc. and its subsidiary CBIZ Benefits & Insurance Services, Inc. (“CBIZ Benefits”) were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The federal court case is brought by UPMC, d/b/a University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, and a health system it acquired, UPMC Altoona (formerly, Altoona Regional Health System).  The lawsuit asserts professional negligence, breach of contract, and negligent misrepresentation claims against CBIZ, CBIZ Benefits and a former employee of CBIZ Benefits in connection with actuarial services provided by CBIZ Benefits to Altoona Regional Health System. The complaint seeks damages in an amount of no less than $142.0 million.  

We cannot predict the outcome of the above matters or estimate the possible loss or range of possible loss, if any.  Although the proceedings are subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation process and the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, we intend to vigorously defend these cases.

In addition to those items disclosed above, we are, from time to time, subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business.

Legal Proceedings - On December 19, 2016, CBIZ Operations, Inc. ("CBIZ Operations") was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Zotec Partners, LLC (“Zotec”) in the Marion County Indiana Superior Court. After various amendments, the lawsuit asserted claims under Indiana law for securities, statutory and common law fraud or deception, unjust enrichment, breach of contract, and vicarious liability against CBIZ Operations and a former employee of CBIZ MMP in connection with the sale of the CBIZ MMP medical billing practice to Zotec. The plaintiff claimed that CBIZ Operations had a duty to disclose the fact, unknown to employees of CBIZ Operations at the time of the transaction, that the former employee had a financial arrangement with a Zotec vendor at the time CBIZ Operations sold CBIZ MMP to Zotec. The plaintiff sought damages of up to $177.0 million out of the $200.0 million transaction price. Trial was held in October 2021. The jury found in favor of CBIZ on all fraud, contract and other claims before it. On November 14, 2022, the trial court ruled in favor of CBIZ and against Zotec’s claim for statutory securities fraud. The court also ruled in favor of CBIZ on its counterclaim for indemnification under contract. The trial court is expected to set further proceedings to determine the amount of damages owed by Zotec to CBIZ.

Interest Rate Swaps

We do not purchase or hold any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.- We utilize interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk exposure associated with our floating-rate debt under the 2022 credit facility. Under these interest rate swap contracts, we receive cash flows from counterparties at variable rates based onfacility, or the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and payforecasted acquisition of such liability. We do not purchase or hold any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Refer to the counterparties a fixed rate. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162022 for further discussion on our interest rate swaps.

Contingent Purchase Price Liabilities

Contingent purchase price liabilities arise from business acquisitions and are classified as Level 3 due to the utilization of a probability weighted discounted cash flow approach to determine the fair value of the contingency.

A contingent liability is established (“Additions from business acquisitions” in the table above) for each acquisition that has a contingent purchase price component extending over a term of two to six years. These liabilities are reviewed quarterly and adjusted if necessary. Refer to Note 12, Acquisitions, for further discussion of contingent purchase price liabilities.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the contingent purchase price liabilities is the future performance of the acquired business.

The risk-free interest rate assumption was based upon zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a term approximating the expected life of the respective options.

Contingent purchase price liabilities result from our business acquisitions and are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition and are presented as “Contingent purchase price liabilities — current” and “Contingent purchase price liabilities — non-current” in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We estimate the fair value of our contingent purchase price liabilities using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. This fair value measure is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Fair value measurements characterized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are measured based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect our own assumptions in measuring fair value.
We probability weight risk-adjusted estimates of future performance of acquired businesses, then calculate the contingent purchase price based on the estimates and discount them to present value representing management’s best estimate of fair value. The fair value of the contingent purchase price liabilities is reassessed quarterly based on assumptions provided by practice group leaders and business unit controllers together with our corporate finance department. Any change in the fair value estimate is recorded in the earnings of that period. Refer to Note 11. Earnings Per11, Business Combinations, for further discussion of our acquisitions and contingent purchase price liabilities.
The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments, and the carrying value of bank debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the bank debt is variable and approximates current market rates. As a result, the fair value measurement of our bank debt is considered to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 9. EMPLOYEE STOCK PLANS
On May 10, 2023, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2019 Stock Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). The amendment added 1.5 million shares to the total number of shares that may be issued under the 2019 Plan. All other respects of the Plan remain unchanged. The 2019 Plan, which expires in 2029, permits the grant of various forms of stock-based awards. A maximum of 4.6 million stock options, restricted stock or other stock-based compensation awards may be granted. The terms and vesting schedules for the stock-based awards vary by type and date of grant. Shares subject to award under the 2019 Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or treasury shares. Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for further discussion on the 2019 Plan.
Compensation expense for stock-based awards recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was as follows (in thousands):

CBIZ utilized the Black-Scholes-Merton options pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the date of grant. The per-share fair value of stock options granted on February 8, 2023 was $15.35. The following weighted average assumptions were utilized:

Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Expected volatility (1)28.57%
Expected option life (years) (2)4.74
Risk-free interest rate (3)3.89%
Expected dividend yield (4)—%

(1) The expected volatility assumption was determined based upon the historical volatility of CBIZ's stock price using daily price intervals.
(2) The expected option life was determined based upon CBIZ's historical data using a midpoint scenario, which assumes all options are exercised halfway between the expiration date and the weighted average time it takes the option to vest.
15


(3) The risk-free interest rate assumption was based upon zero-coupon U.S. treasury bonds with a term approximating the expected life of the respective options.
(4) The expected dividend yield assumption was determined in view of CBIZ's historical and estimated dividend payouts.
Performance Share

Units (“PSUs”) – PSUs are earned based on our financial performance over a contractual term of three years and the associated expense is recognized over that period based on the fair value of the award. A three-year cliff vesting schedule of the PSUs is dependent upon the Company’s performance relative to pre-established goals based on an earnings per share target (weighted 70%) and total growth in revenue (weighted 30%). The fair value of PSUs is calculated using the market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. For performance achieved above specified levels, the recipient may earn additional shares of stock, not to exceed 200% of the number of PSUs initially granted.

Goodwill represents the value of $39.5 million arising from the acquisitions in the first nine months of 2017 primarily results from expected future earnings and cash flows, from the existing management team, as well as the synergies created by the integration of the new businessbusinesses within the CBIZour organization, including cross-selling opportunities expected with our Financial Services practice group and the Benefits and Insurance Services practice groups,group, to help strengthen our existing service offerings and expand our market position.

2016

During Goodwill related to these acquisitions is deductible for tax purposes. Client lists from the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we acquired substantially allaforementioned acquisitions have an expected life up to 10 years, and other intangibles, primarily non-compete agreements, have an expected life of 3 years. Client lists and non-compete agreements are valued using a discounted cash flow model based on management estimates of future cash flows from such assets.

The following table summarizes the non-attest assets of four businesses; Flex-Pay Business Services, Inc., (“Flex-Pay”), The Savitz Organization (“Savitz”), Millimaki Eggert, L.L.P., (“Millimaki”) and Ed Jacobs & Associates, Inc. (“EJ&A”).  Aggregatechanges in contingent purchase price consideration for theseprevious acquisitions consisted of approximately $36.7 million in cash consideration, $1.6 million in CBIZ common stock and $17.8 million in contingent consideration.

Under the terms of these acquisition agreements, a portion of the purchase price is contingent on future performance of each of the businesses acquired. Utilizing a probability weighted income approach, we determined that the fair value of the contingent consideration arrangementpayments made for these acquisitions was $17.8 million, of which $5.3 million was recorded in “Contingent purchase price liability – current” and $12.5 million was recorded in “Contingent purchase price liability – non-current” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2016.

Annualized revenue attributable to Flex-Pay, Savitz, Millimaki and EJ&A is estimated to be approximately $10.0 million, $20.0 million, $2.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions were not significant to our results.

The acquisition of Flex-Pay, located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was effective June 1, 2016.

The goodwill of $30.9 million arising from the acquisitions in the first nine months of 2016 primarily results from the same reasons as discussed above in the 2017 section.

Client Lists

During the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, we purchased two client lists, one of which is reported in the Benefits2023 and Insurance practice group for $0.7 million of contingent consideration and one of which is reported in the Financial Services practice group for $0.7 million of contingent considerations.  During the same period in 2016, we purchased six clients lists, five of which are reported in the Benefits and Insurance practice group, and one in the Financial Services practice group. Total consideration for these client lists was $0.8 million in cash consideration, $1.2 million of guaranteed future consideration and $0.7 million of contingent consideration.

Change in Contingent Purchase Price Liability for Previous Acquisitions

During the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, we decreased the fair value of the contingent purchase price liability related to prior acquisitions by $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively. These changes in fair value are attributable to subsequent measurement adjustments based on projected future results of the acquired businesses, net present value adjustments and changes in the CBIZ common stock price. These adjustments are included in “Other income, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Contingent Payments for Previous Acquisitions and Client Lists

We paid $9.2 million in cash and issued approximately 177,000 shares of CBIZ common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 for previous acquisitions. For the first nine months of 2017, we also paid approximately $1.0 million in cash for previous client list purchases. For the same period in 2016, we paid $5.7 million in cash and issued approximately 220,000 shares of CBIZ common for previous acquisitions.

Note 13. Discontinued Operations and Divestitures

We will divest (through sale or closure) business operations that do not contribute to our long-term objectives for growth, or that are not complementary to our target service offerings and markets.

Gains or losses from divested operations and assets that do not qualify for treatment as discontinued operations are recorded as “Gain on sale of operations, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. During the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, we did not sell any operations. Gains recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, relate to contingent consideration earned on sales made in previous periods.

Note 14. Segment Disclosures

Our business units have been aggregated into three practice groups: Financial Services, Benefits and Insurance Services and National Practices. The business units have been aggregated based on the following factors: similarity of the products and services provided to clients; similarity of the regulatory environment in which they operate; and similarity of economic conditions affecting long-term performance. The business units are managed along these segment lines. A general description of services provided by each practice group is provided in the table below.

Corporate and Other. Included in “Corporate and Other” are operating expenses that are not directly allocated to the individual business units. These expenses are primarily comprised of certain health care costs, gains or losses attributable to assets held in the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan, share-based compensation, consolidation and integration charges, certain professional fees, certain advertising costs and other various expenses.

Accounting policies of the practice groups are the same as those described in Note 1, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Upon consolidation, intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated, thus inter-segment revenue is not included in the measure of profit or loss for the practice groups. Performance of the practice groups is evaluated on operating income excluding those costs listed above, which are reported in the “Corporate and Other” segment.

Note 15. New Accounting Pronouncements

NOTE 12. SEGMENT DISCLOSURES
Our business units have been aggregated into three practice groups: Financial Services, Benefits and Insurance Services and National Practices. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)business units have been aggregated based on the following factors: similarity of the products and services provided to clients; similarity of the regulatory environment in which they operate; and similarity of economic conditions affecting long-term performance. The business units are managed along these segment lines. A general description of services provided by each practice group is provided in the sole source of authoritative GAAP other than the Securitiestable below.

Corporate and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued rulesOther - Included in Corporate and regulationsOther are operating expenses that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) to communicate changesare not directly allocated to the FASB codification. We assess and review the impactindividual business units. These expenses primarily consist of all changescertain health care costs, gains or losses attributable to the FASB codification. ASU's not listed below were reviewed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2017

Share-Based Compensation: In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”), which requires the tax effects related to share-based payments to be recorded through the income statement and simplifies the accounting requirements for forfeitures and employers' tax withholding requirements. We elected prospective treatment in regards to ASU 2016-09 beginning January 1, 2017. For the third quarter of 2017, the adoption of ASU 2016-09 resulted in an increase of approximately 0.5 million diluted shares and a realized tax benefit of approximately $0.1 million. For the first nine months of 2017, the adoption of this ASU resulted in an increase of approximately 0.5 million diluted shares and a realized tax benefit of approximately $2.9 million. This tax benefit, which would have previously been recorded in additional paid-in capitalassets held in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, is now recorded directly to income tax expense in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. We elected to classify excess tax benefits as an operating activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows instead of as a financing activity on a prospective basisnon-qualified deferred compensation plan, stock-based compensation, consolidation and did not retrospectively adjust prior periods, as permitted. We also elected to continue our current policy of estimating forfeitures of share-based compensation awards at the time of grantintegration charges, certain professional fees, certain advertising costs and revising in subsequent periods to reflect actual forfeitures. Going forward, we anticipate moderate volatility in our effective tax rate adjustments related to our share-based compensation incentives which will be recorded directly into our results of operations.

other various expenses.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Derivatives and Hedging: In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (“ASU 2017-12”). The new standard simplifies hedge accounting through changes to both designation and measurement requirements. For hedges that qualify as highly effective, the new standard eliminates the requirement to separately measure and record hedge ineffectiveness resulting in better alignment between the presentationpolicies of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; the ASU allows for early adoption in any interim period after issuance of the update. We apply hedge accounting for cash flow hedging purposes and do not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

Modification Accounting for Share-Based Payment Awards: In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), clarifying when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. This new accounting standard requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is notpractice groups are the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. The new guidance is effective for us on a prospective basis beginning on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We typically do not change either the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards once they are granted, therefore; this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Measurement of Goodwill: In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" ("ASU 2017-04"), which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (step two) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, goodwill impairment will be based upon the results of step one of the impairment test, which is defined as the excess of the carrying amount of a reporting unit over its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for us on a prospective basis beginning on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We expect to early adopt this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2017 in conjunction with our annual impairment test. We still have the option to conduct a qualitative assessment or a quantitative assessment. The impact of this new guidance will depend upon the performance of our reporting units and the market conditions impacting the fair value of each reporting unit.

Restricted Cash - Statement of Cash Flows: In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)” (“ASU 2016-18”), which applies to all entities that have restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents and are required to present a statement of cash flows. This new accounting standard requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and the amounts generallythose described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts show on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 also requires the disclosure of information about the nature of the restriction. ASU 2016-18 is effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We disclose annually in Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, to ourthe Annual Report on Form 10-K Organizationfor the year ended December 31, 2022. Upon consolidation, intercompany accounts and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, what our restricted cash consists of, therefore we only expect this new guidance to have a presentation impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows: In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”), which clarifies how certain cash receipts and paymentstransactions are to be presentedeliminated, thus inter-segment revenue is not included in the statementmeasure of cash flows. This new guidance will be effective for us beginning on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Leases: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”) which supersedes Topic 840, “Leases.” This new accounting standard is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations relating to leases and will require enhanced disclosures about our leasing arrangements. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying assetprofit or loss for the lease term. The FASB retained a dual model for lease classification, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance leases to determine recognitionpractice groups. Performance of the practice groups is evaluated on income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit) excluding those costs listed above, which are reported in the income statement“Corporate and statements of cash flows; however, substantially all leases will be required to be recognized onOther”.

Segment information for the balance sheet. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern.

ASU 2016-02three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is effective for us beginning on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The new standard requires a “modified retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.below. We do not believe this new guidance will have a significant impact onmanage our liquidity or our debt covenant compliance under our current credit agreements. We are currently assessing the impact of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers: In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Deferral of the Effective Date” (“ASU 2015-14”). ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), which was issued in May 2014, by one year for all entities. This new accounting standard provides a comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance.

20


CBIZ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This new standard also includes enhanced disclosures. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB issued additional ASUs clarifying certain aspects of ASU 2014-09. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 was not changed by the additional guidance.

We have organized a team and have developed a project plan to guide the implementation. The project plan includes working sessions to review, evaluate and document the arrangements with customers under our various reporting units to identify potential differences that would result from applying the requirements of the new standard. We are currently in the process of developing an updated accounting policy, evaluating new disclosure requirements and identifying and implementing appropriate changes to business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. We expect the guidance in certain areas, particularly in our Benefits and Insurance Services practice group, to have an impact our current revenue recognition policies, but not a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In our property and casualty business unit, the current accounting policy under agency billing arrangements is to recognize commission revenue as of the later of the effective date of the insurance policy or the date billed to the customer. Following adoption, we will recognize commission revenue on the effective date of the insurance policy. Also in our property and casualty business unit, the current accounting policy under direct billing arrangements is to recognize commission revenue when the data necessary from the carriers is available. Following adoption, we will recognize commission revenue on the effective date of the insurance policy. Since the majority of our property and casualty arrangements involve contracts that are annual in term,assets on a year over yearsegment basis, we dotherefore segment assets are not believe there will be a significant change topresented below.

Segment information for the current accounting policy under defined benefit administration arrangements is to recognize non-refundable, initial set up fees over a go-live, set up period. Following adoption, we will defer these set up feessix months ended June 30, 2023 and recognize them over the life of the contract or the expected customer relationship, whichever is longer. The deferral of these set up fees is not expected to have a significant change to the amount of revenue recognized in an annual period.    

The effective date of this new accounting pronouncement is for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. The guidance permits the use of either a full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. We will adopt the requirements of the new standard effective January 1, 2018 and expect to use the modified retrospective transition method with the cumulative effect adjustment directly to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial adoption.

Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan

We sponsor a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, under which a CBIZ employee’s compensation deferral is held in a rabbi trust and invested accordingly as directed by the employee. Income and expenses related to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which are recorded in "Corporate and Other" for segment reporting purposes, are included in “Operating expenses”, “Gross margin” and “Corporate general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses” and are directly offset by deferred compensation gains or losses in “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The non-qualified deferred compensation plan


has no impact on “Income from continuing operations before income tax expense” or diluted earnings per share from continuing operations.

Three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016. The majority of our operating expenses relate to personnel costs, which includes (i) salaries and benefits, (ii) commissions paid to producers (iii) incentive compensation, and (iv) share-based compensation. Operating expenses increased $10.7 million, or 6.1%, in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016, and increased to 88.9% of revenue from 87.1% of revenue for the prior year. Personnel costs increased $9.3 million, or 6.9%, to support our growth in revenue, with acquisitions contributing approximately $6.0 million to personnel costs. The remaining fluctuation consists of other operating expenses, none of which are individually significant.

The non-qualified deferred compensation added expense of $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to expense of $2.1 million during the same period in 2016. Excluding this item, operating expenses would have been $182.0 million and $171.9 million, or 87.6% and 86.1% of revenue, for the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016. Operating expenses increased $39.4 million, or 7.5%, in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the first nine months of 2016, and increased to 85.7% of revenue from 84.7% of revenue for the prior year. The increase in operating expenses was due to the same factors as discussed above in the quarterly section. Personnel costs increased $35.0 million, or 8.5%. Acquisitions contributed approximately $16.2 million to personnel costs. Occupancy costs increased approximately $2.1 million, 6.3%. The remaining fluctuation consists of other operating expenses, none of which are individually significant.

The non-qualified deferred compensation added expense of $7.6 million for the first nine months of 2017 compared to expense of $3.7 million during the same period in 2016. Excluding this item, operating expenses would have been $558.0 million and $522.5 million, or 84.5% and 84.1% of revenue, for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

LIQUIDITY

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash generated from operating activities and financing activities. Our cash flows from operating activities are driven primarily by our operating results and changes in our working capital requirements while our cash flows from financing activities are dependent upon our ability to access credit or other capital. We historically maintain low cash levels and apply any available cash to pay down the outstanding debt balance.

We historically experience a use of cash to fund working capital requirements during the first quarter of each fiscal year. This is primarily due to the seasonal accounting and tax services period under the Financial Services practice group.group, as well as payment of accrued employees' incentives programs. Upon completion of the seasonal accounting and tax services period, cash provided by operations during the remaining three quarters of the fiscal year substantially exceeds the use of cash in the first quarter of the fiscal year.

Accounts receivable balances increase in response to the increase in first quartersix months' revenue generated by the Financial Services practice group. A significant amount of this revenue is billed and collected in subsequent quarters. Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) from continuing operations represent accounts receivable and unbilled revenue (net of realization adjustments) at the end of the period, divided by trailing twelve monthsmonths' daily revenue. We provide DSO data because such data is commonly used as a performance measure by analysts and investors and as a measure of our ability to collect on receivables in a timely manner. DSO was 89 days and 7688 days at SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and 2022. DSO at December 31, 2016, respectively. DSO at September 30, 20162022 was 8674 days.

Available funds under the 2022 credit facility, based on the terms of the commitment, were approximately $142.5$177.5 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.

For further discussion regarding2023. The weighted average interest rate under the credit facility was 4.94% during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 1.93% for the same period in 2022. The credit facility allows for the allocation of funds for future strategic initiatives, including acquisitions and the repurchase of our debt, refer to Note 5, Debt and Financing Arrangements,common stock, subject to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

terms and conditions of the 2022 credit facility.

Debt Covenant Compliance

- Under the 2022 credit facility, we are required to meet certain financial covenants with respect to (i) total leverage ratio and (ii) a minimum fixedinterest charge coverage ratio. We are in compliance with our financial covenants as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2023. Our ability to service our debt and to fund future strategic initiatives will depend upon our ability to generate cash in the future.

Acquisitions

We completed three acquisitions and two client list purchase during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. For further details on acquisitions,discussion regarding our 2022 credit facility and debt, refer to Note 12, Acquisitions,4, Debt and Financing Arrangements, to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Share Repurchases


Use of Capital - Our first priority for use of capital is to make strategic acquisitions. We also have the financing flexibility and the capacity to actively repurchase shares of our common stock. We believe that repurchasing shares of our common stock can be a prudent use of our financial resources, and that investing in our stock is an attractive use of capital and an efficient means to provide value to our stockholders. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, we completed four acquisitions for $48.5 million in cash. We also repurchased approximately 0.61.1 million shares of our common stock at a total cost of approximately $8.8 million under the Share Repurchase Plan. We also withheld approximately 0.1 million shares with an aggregate value of approximately $1.4$56.8 million during the same period from employees who exercised stock options or who received vested restricted stock awards. Such shares were withheld, if applicable,six months ended June 30, 2023. Refer to coverNote 11, Business Combinations, to the required tax withholdings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Cash Requirements for 2023 - Cash requirements for the remainder of 2023 will include acquisitions, interest payments on debt, seasonal working capital requirements, contingent purchase price payments for previous acquisitions, share repurchases and capital expenditures. We believe that cash provided by operations, as well as available funds under our credit facility will be sufficient to meet cash requirements.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We maintain administrative service agreements with independent CPA firms (as described more fully under “Business – Financial Services” and in Note 1, OrganizationBasis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016)2022), which qualify as variable interest entities. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operations or accounts of variable interest entities as the impact is not material to the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of CBIZ.

We provide letters of credit to landlords (lessors) of our leased premises in lieu of cash security deposits, which totaled $2.3$4.4 million and $5.0 million at SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016.2022, respectively. In addition, we provide license bonds to various state agencies to meet certain licensing requirements. The amount of license bonds outstanding at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 totaled $2.5was $2.3 million and $2.3 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

We have various agreements under which itwe may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification clauses are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business under which we customarily agree to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, related to matters such as title to assets sold and certain tax matters. Payment by us under such indemnification clauses is generally conditioned upon the other party making a claim. Such claims are typically subject to challenge by us and to dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, our obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount and, in some instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by us. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts of each particular agreement. Historically, we have not made any payments under these agreements that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, we are not aware of any material obligations arising under indemnification agreements that would require payment.

Critical Accounting Policies

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been no materialprepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As more information becomes known, these estimates and assumptions could change, which would have an impact on actual results that may differ materially from these estimates and judgments under different assumptions. We have not made any changes to our critical accounting policies from the information providedand estimates as previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading Critical Accounting Policies in theour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report, including without limitation, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" regarding our financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives for future performance are forward-looking statements. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements are commonly identified by the use of such terms and phrases as "intends," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "anticipates,""intends", "believes", "estimates", "expects", "projects", "anticipates", "foreseeable future," "seeks,"future", "seeks", and words or phrases of similar import in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In
37


particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated services, sales efforts, expenses, and financial results.
From time to time, we may also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in any other public statements that we make, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and operations and those of our clients; the Company’s ability to adequately manage and sustain its growth; the Company’s dependence on the current trend of outsourcing business services; the Company’s dependence on the services of its CEO and other key employees; competitive pricing pressures; general business and economic conditions; and changes in governmental regulation and tax laws affecting the Company’s insurance business or its business service operations. Such forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks or assumptions materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected.

Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

our ability to adequately manage our growth;

our dependence on the services of our executive officers and other key employees;

competitive pricing pressures;

general business and economic conditions;

changes in governmental regulation and tax laws affecting its operations;

reversal or decline in the current trend of outsourcing business services;

revenue seasonality or fluctuations in and collectability of receivables;

liability for errors and omissions of CBIZ businesses;

regulatory investigations and future regulatory activity (including without limitation inquiries into compensation arrangements within the insurance brokerage industry);

reliance on information processing systems and availability of software licenses; and

volatility in our stock price.

Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. A more detailed description of risk factors may be found in “Item 1A, Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report and in “Item 1A, Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2022. Except as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our filings with the SEC, such as quarterly, periodic and annual reports.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our floating rate debt under ourthe 2022 credit facility exposes us to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk results when the maturity or repricing intervals of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are different. A change in the Federal Funds Rate, or the reference rate set by Bank of America, N.A., would affect the rate at which we could borrow funds under the credit facility. OurThe balance outstanding under our credit facility at SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 was $206.0$410.6 million, of which $126.0$285.6 million is subject to rate risk. If market rates were to increase or decrease 100 basis points from the levels at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, interest expense would increase or decrease approximately $1.3$2.9 million annually.

We do not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments. We periodically use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk exposure. The interest rate swaps effectively modify our exposure to interest rate risk, primarily through converting portions of our floating rate debt under the credit facility to a fixed rate basis. These agreements involve the receipt or payment of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts.


At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, we had fivefour interest rate swaps with notional values, fixed rates of $10.0interest and expiration dates of (i) $50.0 million $15.0- 0.834% - April, 2025, (ii) $30.0 million - 1.186% - December, 2026, (iii) $20.0 million - 2.450% - August, 2027 and (iv) $25.0 million $10.0 million, and $20.0 million with various maturity dates ranging from November 2017 to May 2022. Refer to Note 7, Financial Instruments, for further details on our interest rate swaps.- 3.669% - April, 2028, respectively. Management will continue to evaluate the potential use of interest rate swaps as we deem appropriate under certain operating and market conditions. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

In connection with the services provided by our payroll business,operations, funds held for clientscollected from our clients’ accounts in advance are segregated and may be invested in short-term investments, such as corporate and municipal bonds. In accordance with our investment policy, all investments carry an investment grade rating at the time of the initial investment.acquisition, and are classified as available-for-sale securities. At each respective balance sheet date, these investments are adjusted to fair value with fair value adjustments being recorded to other comprehensive income or loss and reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the respective period. If an adjustmentinvestment is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired due to credit loss, then the adjustment is recorded to “Other"Other income net”(expense), net" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation (“Controls Evaluation”) was done with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Disclosure Controls are controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure Controls include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our internal control over financial reporting (“Internal Controls”) will prevent all errorerrors and all fraud. Although our Disclosure Controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objective, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within CBIZ have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
39


persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of a control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Conclusions

Our Disclosure Controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and, based upon the Controls Evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, ourCBIZ’s Disclosure Controls were effective at that reasonable assurance level.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162022 as filed with the SEC. These risks could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of CBIZ.

Cyber-attacks or other security breaches involving our computer systems or the systems of one or more of our vendors could materially and adversely affect our business.
Our systems, like others in the industries we serve, are vulnerable to cyber security risks, and we are subject to potential disruption caused by such activities. Corporations such as ours are subject to frequent attacks on their systems, such as computer hacking, phishing attempts, cyber-attacks, malware and ransomware attacks. The attacks may have various goals, from seeking confidential information to causing operational disruption. If a ransomware attack or other cybersecurity breach occurs, either internally or at our information technology vendors, it is possible we could be prevented from accessing our data, cause us to incur remediation costs or requires us to pay ransom to the attackers. Although to date such activities have not resulted in material disruptions to our operations or, to our knowledge, a material breach of any security or confidential information, no assurance can be provided that such material disruptions or a material breach will not occur in the future. Any significant violations of data privacy could result in the loss of business, litigation, regulatory investigations, penalties, ransom payments, ongoing expenses related to client credit monitoring and support, and other expenses, any of which could damage our reputation and adversely affect the growth of our business. While we have deployed resources that are responsible for maintaining appropriate levels of cyber security, and while we utilize third-party technology products and services to help identify, protect, and remediate our information technology systems and infrastructure against security breaches and cyber-incidents, our responsive and precautionary measures may not be adequate or effective to prevent, identify, or mitigate attacks by hackers, foreign governments, or other actors or breaches caused by employee error, malfeasance, or other disruptions. We are also dependent on security measures that some of our third-party vendors and customers are taking to protect their own systems and infrastructures. If our third-party vendors do not maintain adequate security measures, do not require their subcontractors to maintain adequate security measures, do not perform as anticipated and in accordance with contractual requirements, or become targets of cyber-attacks, we may experience operational difficulties and increased costs, which could materially and adversely affect our business.
