There are no unconsolidated entities, or off-balance sheet arrangements other than certain guarantees supporting office leases and the performance under government contracts in the Company's European operations. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, actuarial assumptions including discount rates and expected rates of return on assets, as applicable, for the Company's defined benefit plans, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, assumptions underlying stock option valuation, investment valuation, legal matters, other contingencies, and progress toward completion and direct profit or loss on contracts. Management believes that the information and disclosures provided herein are adequate to present fairly the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows, and shareholders’ equity of the Company. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10K filed with the SEC.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised good or service is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. For time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized as hours are incurred and costs are expended. For contracts with progress billing schedules (i.e. progress billing), primarily monthly, revenue is recognized as services are rendered to the customer. Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognized over time using an input-based approach. Over time revenue recognition best portrays the Company’s performance in transferring control of the goods or services to the customer. On most fixed price contracts, revenue recognition is supported through contractual clauses that require the customer to pay for work performed to date, including cost plus a reasonable profit margin, for goods or services that have no alternative use to the Company. On certain contracts, revenue recognition is supported through contractual clauses that indicate the customer controls the asset, or work in process, as the Company creates or enhances the asset. On a given project, actual salary and indirect labor costs incurred are measured and compared with the total estimate of costs of such items at the completion of the project. Revenue is recognized based upon the percentage-of-completion calculation of total incurred costs to total estimated costs. The Company infrequently works on fixed-price projects that include significant amounts of material or other non-labor related costs that could distort the percent complete within a percentage-of-completion calculation. The Company’s estimate of the total labor costs it expects to incur over the term of the contract is based on the nature of the project and our experience on similar projects, and includes management judgments and estimates that affect the amount of revenue recognized on fixed-price contracts in any accounting period. Losses on fixed-price projects are recorded when identified.

The Company’s revenue from contracts accounted for under time-and-material, progress billing and percentage-of-completion methods as a percentage of consolidated revenue for the quarters ended March 29, 2019 and two quarters ended June 29,March 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 was as follows:

Significant Judgments

 

With the exception of cost estimates on certain fixed-price projects, there are no other significant judgments used to determine the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations or determining transaction price and amounts allocated to performance obligations.judgments. The Company allocates the transaction price based on standalone selling prices for contracts with customers that include more than one performance obligation. StandaloneWe determine standalone selling prices areprice based on the expected cost of the good or service plus margin approach. Certain customers may qualify for discounts and rebates, which we account for as variable consideration. The Company estimatesWe estimate variable consideration and reduce revenue recognized based on the amount it expectswe expect to provide to customers.

 

Contract Balances

 

For time-and-material contracts and progresscontracts with periodic billing contracts,schedules, the timing of the Company’s satisfaction of its performance obligations is consistent with the timing of payment. For these contracts, the Company has the right to payment in the amount that corresponds directly with the value of the Company’s performance to date. The Company uses the right to invoice practical expedient that allows the Company to recognize revenue in the amount for which it has the right to invoice for time-and-material contract and progresscontracts with periodic billing contracts.schedules. Bill schedules for fixed-price contracts are generally consistent with the Company’s performance in transferring control of the goods or services to the customer. There are no significant financing components in our contracts with customers. AdvancedThe Company records advanced billings that represent contract liabilities for cash payments received in advance of our performance.performance on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Unbilled receivables are reported within “accounts receivable” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Accounts receivable and contract liabilityadvanced billings balances fluctuate based on the timing of the customer’s billing schedule and the Company’s month-end date. There are no significant costs to obtain or fulfill contracts with customers.

 

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

 

As of JuneMarch 29, 2018,2019, the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations for fixed-price and all progress billingmanaged-support contracts was approximately $6.2$9.1 million and $34.4$49.8 million, respectively. Approximately $16.4$30.9 million of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations is expected to be earned in 2018.2019. Approximately $24.2$28.0 million of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations is expected to be earned in 20192020 and beyond. TheAs the Company uses the right“right to invoiceinvoice” practical expedient. Therefore, no disclosure is required forexpedient, we do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts infor which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

Taxes Collected from Customers

In instances where the Company collects taxes from its customers for remittance to governmental authorities, primarily in its European operations,international locations, revenue and expenses are not presented on a gross basis in the condensed consolidated financial statements as such taxes are recorded in the Company's accounts on a net basis.

Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid for a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy for its assets and liabilities, as applicable, based upon three levels of input, which are:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (observable)

Level 2—inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be supported by observable market data for essentially the full term of the asset or liability (observable)

Level 3—unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, but are significant to determining the fair value of the asset or liability (unobservable)


At JuneMarch 29, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the carrying amounts of the Company’s cash of $9.7$13.1 million and $11.2$12.4 million, respectively, approximated fair value.

The Company is also allowed to elect an irrevocable option to measure, on a contract-by-contract basis, specific financial instruments and certain other items that are currently not being measured at fair value. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value provisions of this accounting standard for any specific contracts during the quarters ended June 29, 2018 or June 30, 2017.

As described in Note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of Soft Company in the 2018 first quarter. Level 3 inputs were used to estimate the estimated fair values allocated toof the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The valuation techniques used to assign fair values to intangible assets included the relief-from-royalty method and excess earnings method. In addition, the Company has a contingent consideration liability related to the earn-out provision of which a portion will be payable in each period subject to the achievement by Soft Company of certain revenue and EBIT targets for fiscal 2017, 2018, and 2019. There is no payout if the achievement on either target is below a certain target threshold. The fair value of this contingent consideration is determined using level 3 inputs. The fair value assigned to the contingent consideration liability is determined using the real options method, which requires inputs such as revenue forecasts, EBIT forecasts, discount rate, and other market variables to assess the probability of Soft Company achieving the revenue and EBIT targets.

The Company is also allowed to elect an irrevocable option to measure, on a contract-by-contract basis, specific financial instruments and certain other items that are currently not being measured at fair value. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value asprovisions of this accounting standard for any specific contracts during the February 15, 2018 acquisition date was determined to be $2.0 million. In the 2018 second quarter, the Company paid approximately $0.9 million relating to the earn-out based on the achievement by Soft Company of certain revenue and EBIT targets for fiscal 2017. The fair value of the remaining contingent consideration liability was approximately $0.9 million and is recorded in “Other long-term liabilities” on the Junequarters ended March 29, 2018, condensed consolidated balance sheet.2019 or March 30, 2018.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," ("ASU 2014-09"). On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606 using the cumulative effect method and applied the requirements of the new standard to only projects that were open as of January 1, 2018. Results for the reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605.

The Company recorded a net positive adjustment to beginning retained earnings of less than $0.1 million and a corresponding amount to unbilled receivables as of January 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting Topic 606, primarily related to a change in the identification of performance obligations on certain projects. In addition, the Company evaluated its principal and agent conclusions when more than one party is involved in providing goods or service to a customer. The Company recorded approximately $1.3 million, or 1.4% of our 2018 second quarter consolidated revenue and approximately $2.9 million, or 1.6% of our 2018 year-to-date revenue on a gross basis, which would have been recorded on a net basis under our historic accounting under Topic 605. The Company reported $92.7 million and $175.4 million of revenue in the 2018 second quarter and 2018 year-to-date period, respectively, under Topic 606 and the Company would have reported approximately $91.4 million and $172.5 million of revenue under Topic 605.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease standard using the modified retrospective transition approach and elected the transition method to apply the new lease standard as of the January 1, 2019 adoption date. Results for the reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with accounting under Topic 840.

In addition, the Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company has also elected the practical expedient to separate lease and non-lease components for its office leases and has elected to group lease and non-lease components for its vehicle leases. Upon adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $13.1 million of operating lease right-of-use assets and $13.0 million of lease liabilities. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The new lease standard does not affect the Company’s compliance with financial covenants associated with its debt agreement.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which  requires lesseesthe immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basisoccur over the termremaining life of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. Topic 842 supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840, Leases.many financial assets, including trade receivables. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018;2019; however, early adoption is permitted. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-022016-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

InvestmentsOperating Leases

The Company is obligated under a number of long-term operating leases for office space, office equipment, and automobiles leased in Europe. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease standard using the modified retrospective transition approach and elected the transition method to apply the new lease standard as of the January 1, 2019 adoption date. Results for the reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 840.

Most leases contain both lease components (fixed payments for rent) and non-lease components (common-area maintenance and other services). The Company has elected the practical expedient to separate lease and non-lease components for its office leases and has elected to group lease and non-lease components for its vehicle leases. Some leases contain renewal options with escalation clauses commensurate with local market fluctuations, however, generally limiting an annual increase to no more than 5.0% of the existing lease payment. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s investments consistsole discretion. The Company has excluded renewal options in the measurement of mutual funds,right-of-use assets and lease liabilities if they are not reasonably certain of exercise.

Operating leases are included in the right-of-use lease assets, short-term lease liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company measures the operating lease liabilities at lease


commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments using the rate implicit in the lease when readily determinable, or the Company’s secured incremental borrowing rates. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize a lease liability or right-of-use asset for leases with a lease term of twelve months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset. The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease expense in the period incurred. Variable lease cost consists primarily of common-area maintenance, insurance, and taxes, which are partpaid based on actual costs incurred by the lessor. Operating lease cost for the 2019 first quarter was $1.5 million. The Company incurred variable lease cost of $0.2 million and short-term lease cost of $0.2 million in the Computer Task Group, Incorporated Non-qualified Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan. At June 29, 2018 and December 31, 2017,2019 first quarter.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) is calculated quarterly based upon current assumptions relating to the full year’s estimated operating results and various tax-related items. The 2019 and 2018 second quarter and year-to-date ETR was 27.8% and 26.1%, respectively, and 2017 secondfirst quarter ETR was 33.3% and the 2017 year-to-date21.7%, respectively.

The ETR was 38.5%.higher in the 2019 first quarter primarily due to non-deductible acquisition costs related to the Soft Company acquisition.

The ETR was lower in the 2018 secondfirst quarter and year-to-date periods primarily due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs actAct which reduced the US federal corporate tax rate to 21%, the tax benefit for windfalls from equity-based compensation transactions, and tax benefits for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) and Credit for Increasing Research Activities (R&D).

13


The ETR was lower in the 2017 second quarter primarily due to tax benefits from the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) and Credit for Increasing Research Activities (R&D).     

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent; (2) requiring companies to pay a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries; (3) generally eliminating U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries; (4) requiring a current inclusion in U.S. federal taxable income of certain earnings of controlled foreign corporations; (5) eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT) and changing how existing AMT credits can be realized; (6) creating the base erosion anti-abuse tax (BEAT), a new minimum tax; (7) creating a new limitation on deductible interest expense; and (8) changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes, requires companies to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment. However, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 118, which allows companies to record provisional amounts during a measurement period that is similar to the measurement period used when accounting for business combinations. The Company has recorded a reasonable estimate when possible and with the understanding that the provisional amount is subject to further adjustments under SAB 118.

As a result, the Company has recorded the following provisional amounts in the financial statements at June 29, 2018, which will be revised, if necessary, as the computations become finalized during the measurement period. The Company did not adjust any previously recorded provisional amounts in the 2018 year-to-date period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities: The Company remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the federal rate at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%. The Company also remeasured the state rate at which certain deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to reverse in the future associated with the reduction in the future federal benefit from state deferred tax assets and liabilities from 34% to 21%. However, the Company is still analyzing certain aspects of the Act relating to compensation expense and refining its calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts. The provisional amount recorded at December 31, 2017 related to the remeasurement of the Company's deferred tax balance was a tax expense of $1.7 million, including the remeasurement of its federal valuation allowance. 

Foreign tax effects: The one-time transition tax is based on the Company's total post-1986 earnings and profits (E&P) that were previously deferred from U.S. income taxes. There is not expected to be any liability for the one-time transition tax for all of its foreign subsidiaries because the accumulated post-1986 earnings is negative.

 

The Company didhas not recordrecorded a U.S. deferred tax liability for the excess book basis over the tax basis of its investments in foreign subsidiaries as these amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations.

 

The Company has not yet made a policy election with respect to its treatment of potential global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI). Companies can either account for taxes on GILTI as incurred or recognize deferred taxes when basis differences exist that are expected to affect the amount of the GILTI inclusion upon reversal. At June 29, 2018 the Company has included GILTI related to current year operations only in its estimated annual ETR and has not provided additional GILTI on deferred items because it is still in the process of analyzing the provisions of the Act associated with GILTI and the expected impact of GILTI on the Company in the future.

Deferred Compensation and Other Benefits

The Company maintains a non-qualified defined benefit Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan (ESBP) that provides certain former key executives with deferred compensation benefits, based on years of service and base compensation, payable during retirement. The plan was amended as of November 30, 1994, to freeze benefits for the participants in the plan at that time.

The Company retained certain potential obligations related to a contributory defined-benefit plan for its previous employees located in the Netherlands (NDBP) when the Company disposed of its subsidiary, CTG Nederland, B.V. Benefits paid are a function of a percentage of career average pay. This plan was curtailed for additional contributions in January 2003.

14


The Company also maintains a fully funded pension plan related to Belgium employees (BDBP). This is a plan with active employees and the Company expects to make future contributions.

As a result of the acquisition of Soft Company on February 15, 2018, the Company maintains an unfunded pension plan related to the current Soft Company employees.employees (FDBP). The Company does not anticipate making contributions to the plan in 2018. The Company also does not expect to make2019. No benefit payments were made in 2018.2018 and none are expected to be paid in 2019.

The ESBP is deemed to be unfunded as the Company has not specifically identified assets to be used to discharge the deferred compensation benefit liabilities. The Company has purchased insurance on the lives of certain plan participants in amounts deemed to be sufficient to reimburse the Company for the costs associated with the plan for those participants (see note 2 for “Life Insurance Policies”). The Company does not anticipate making contributions to the plan other than for benefit payments as required in 20182019 and future years. In the 2019 and 2018 second quarter and year-to-date periods,first quarters, the Company made benefit payments totaling approximately $0.2$0.1 million and $0.3$0.2 million, respectively, and expects to make payments in 20182019 totaling approximately $0.7$0.6 million.

The Company also retained a contributory defined benefit plan for its previous employees located in the Netherlands (NDBP) when the Company disposed of its subsidiary, CTG Nederland, B.V. Benefits paid are a function of a percentage of career average pay. This plan was curtailed for additional contributions in January 2003.

The Company does not anticipate making contributions to the NDBP in 2018.2019. The assets for the NDBP are held by Aegon, a financial services firm located in the Netherlands. The Company maintains a contract with Aegon to insure future benefit payments of the NDBP; however, due to certain terms of the agreement and potential obligations to the Company, the NDBP has not been settled. The benefit payments to be made in 20182019 are expected to be paid by Aegon from plan assets. The assets for the plan are included in a general portfolio of government bonds, a portion of which is allocated to the NDBP based upon the estimated pension liability associated with the plan. The fair market value of the plan’s assets equals the contractual value of the NDBP at any point in time. The fair value of the assets is determined using a Level 3 methodology (see note 2 for “Fair Value”). In 2018,2019, the plan investments have a targeted minimum return to the Company of 4.0%, which is consistent with historical returns and the 4.0% return guaranteed to the participants of the plan. The Company, in conjunction with Aegon, intends to maintain the current investment strategy of investing plan assets solely in government bonds throughout 2018.2019.

The BDBP is considered fully funded. The Company made contributions of $0.1 million in both the 2019 and $0.2 million in the 2018 second quarter and year-to-date period, respectively and made contributions of $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the 2017 second quarter and year-to-date period, respectively.first quarters. The Company made benefit payments totaling less than $0.1 million in both the 2019 and 2018 and 2017 secondfirst quarters and expects to make payments in 20182019 of less than $0.1 million.

The assets for the BDBP are held by Allianz, a financial services firm located in Belgium. The Company maintains a contract with Allianz to insure future benefit payments of the BDBP. Contributions made by the Company to Allianz are based on employees’ current salaries. The benefit payments to be made in 20182019 are expected to be paid by Allianz from


plan assets. The assets for the plan are included in the overall portfolio of assets held by Allianz. The fair market value of the plan’s assets equals the contractual value of the BDBP in any given year (which is the mathematical reserve held by Allianz). The fair value of the assets is determined using a Level 3 methodology (see note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Fair2 “Fair Value”). Allianz does not guarantee a minimum return on the plan investments, whereas Belgian law sets a minimum return to be guaranteed to the participants of the plan.

Equity-based Compensation

During the 2018 second quarter and2019 first quarter, the Company granted restricted stock totaling 214,054215,326 shares, and 261,496 shares, respectively, which were funded out of treasury stock. During the 2017 second and2018 first quarter, the Company granted 316,165restricted stock totaling 261,496 shares, and 7,500 shares, respectively, which were funded out of treasury stock.

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company announced a new Board compensation program to further align with shareholders. Under the new compensation program, future director Board fees will be paid exclusively in deferred stock units. All of the 215,326 shares granted during 2019 first quarter represented restricted stock units that were granted to the Board of Directors. The shares vest in four equal quarterly increments. The Company is expensing these grants ratably during the quarter in which they vest. The Company also granted performance share units to one executive during the 2018 first quarter. The performance share units vest over three years and will convert to shares upon vesting. The total number of shares granted to the recipient will be determined based upon the Company’s achievement of certain revenue targets. The performance share units have a fair value of less than $0.1 million and are being expensed ratably over the three-year vesting period.

No performance awards were granted during the 2019 first quarter. Of the 261,496 shares granted in the 2018 first quarter, 216,600 shares represented performance grants with a market condition that were granted to senior management on March 20, 2018. Under these grant agreements, the Company’s stock price must increase 50% to $12.27 for a 30-day period within a three-year period from the date of grant for 50% of the grants to vest. The Company’s stock price must increase 100% to $16.36 for a 30-day period within a three-year period from the date of grant for the remaining 50% of the grants to vest.


For these performance grants, the price on the date of grant was $8.18 per share, the expected volatility was 34.5%, the expected dividend yield is zero, and the risk-free rate of return was 2.47%. Given these assumptions, the tranche of the grants that will vest with a 50% increase in the stock price have a value using a binomial model of $2.30 per share, and a derived service period of 1.26 years.  For the tranche of the grants that will vest with a 100% increase in the stock price, the value of the shares is $1.30 per share and have a derived service period of 1.85 years.  The Company is expensing these grants over the derived service period as noted for each tranche of a grant. There were no additional performance awards granted in the

The remaining 2018 second quarter.

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company announced a new Board compensation program to further align with shareholders. Under the new compensation program, director Board fees in 2018 will be paid exclusively in deferred stock units. Of the 214,054 shares and 261,496 shares granted in the 2018 second and first quarter, 118,154 shares and 41,021 shares, respectively, represented restricted stock units that were granted to the Board of Directors. The shares granted to the Board of Directors in the 2018 second quarter represent direct Board fees for the 2018 second, third, and

16


fourth quarters. The shares vest upon a director’s retirement from the Board. The Company is expensing these grants ratably over each quarter of service.

Of the remaining 99,775 shares granted in the 2018 second and first quarter, 3,875 shares vest over a period of three years, with 33% of the grant vesting one year from the date of grant and another 33% vesting each year thereafter until the grant is fully vested to the employee. The remaining 95,900 shares granted in 2018 second and first quarter vest over a period of four years, with 25% of the grant vesting one year from the date of grant, and another 25% vesting each year thereafter until the grant is fully vested to the employee. The 2017 grants also vest over a period of four years. The Company recognizes compensation expense for these grants over the expected term of the grant.

The restricted shares granted are considered outstanding, can be voted, and are eligible to receive dividends in the event any are paid. However, the restricted shares do not include a non-forfeitable right for the holder to receive dividends and none will be paid in the event the awards do not vest. Accordingly, only vested shares of outstanding restricted stock are included in the basic earnings per share calculation. The shares and share units were granted from the 2010 Equity Award Plan and the 1991 Restricted Stock plan.

No stock options were issued during the 2019 first quarter. The Company granted 13,100 stock options during the 2018 first quarter on February 20, 2018.  The options have a fair value of $1.91 per share using a Black-Scholes valuation model.  The assumptions used to calculate that fair value include the price on date of grant of $6.45, an expected life of 3.7 years, expected volatility of 34.9%, an expected dividend yield of zero, and a risk free rate of 2.4%. The options vest ratably over three years, and are being expensed over that period. The options were granted from the 2010 Equity Award Plan. No stock options were issued during the 2017 first quarter.

The Company also granted performance share units to one executive during the 2018 first quarter. The performance share units vest over three years and will convert to shares upon vesting. The total number of shares granted to the recipient will be determined based upon the Company’s achievement of certain revenue targets. The performance share units have a fair value of less than $0.1 million and are being expensed ratably over the three-year vesting period. No performance share units were issued during the 2017 first quarter.

Industry Trends

The Company operates in one industry segment, providing IT services to its clients. At the highest level, CTG delivers services that are considered either IT solutions or IT and other staffing. The market demand for the Company’s services is heavily dependent on IT spending by major corporations, organizations and government entities in the markets and regions that it serves. The pace of technological change and changes in business requirements and practices of the Company’s clients all have a significant impact on the demand for the services that CTG provides. Competition for new engagements and pricing pressure has been and, management believes, will continue to be strong.

IT solutions and IT and other staffing revenue as a percentage of total revenue for the quarters ended March 29, 2019 and two quarters ended June 29,March 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 was as follows:

The Company promotes a significant portion of its services through five vertical market focus areas: technology service providers, manufacturing, healthcare (which includes services provided to healthcare providers, health insurers (payers), and life sciences companies), financial services, and energy. The Company focuses on these five vertical areas as it believes that these areas either are higher growth markets than the general IT services market and the general economy, or are areas that provide greater potential for the Company’s growth due to the size of the vertical market. The remainder of CTG’s revenue is derived from general markets.

The IT services industry is extremely competitive and characterized by continuous changes in customer requirements and improvements in technologies. The Company’s competition varies significantly by geographic region, as well as by the type of service provided. Many of the Company’s competitors are larger than CTG, and have greater financial, technical, sales and marketing resources. In addition, the Company frequently competes with a client’s own internal IT staff. Our industry is impacted by the growing use of lower-cost offshore delivery capabilities (primarily India and other parts of Asia). Regularly, new IT products and services are introduced which may render our existing IT solutions and IT staffing services obsolete. The economic conditions in the markets we serve are continuously changing and may negatively affect our business if we cannot adapt to negative conditions as they occur. There can be no assurance that CTG will be able to continue to compete successfully with existing or future competitors or that future competition will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised good or service is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. For time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized as hours are incurred and costs are expended. For contracts with progress billing schedules (i.e. progress billing), primarily monthly, revenue is recognized as services are rendered to the customer. Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognized over time using an input-based approach. Over time revenue recognition best portrays the Company’s performance in transferring control of the goods or services to the customer. On most fixed price contracts, revenue recognition is supported through contractual clauses that require the customer to pay for work performed to date, including cost plus a reasonable profit margin, for goods or services that have no alternative use to the Company. On certain contracts, revenue recognition is supported through contractual clauses that indicate the customer controls the asset, or work in process, as the Company creates or enhances the asset. On a given project, actual salary and indirect labor costs incurred are measured and compared with the total estimate of costs of such items at the completion of the project. Revenue is recognized based upon the percentage-of-completion calculation of total incurred costs to total estimated costs. The Company infrequently works on fixed-price projects that include significant amounts of material or other non-labor related costs that could distort the percent complete within a percentage-of-completion calculation. The Company’s estimate of the total labor costs it expects to incur over the term of the contract is based on the nature of the project and our experience on similar projects, and includes management judgments and estimates that affect the amount of revenue recognized on fixed-price contracts in any accounting period. Losses on fixed-price projects are recorded when identified.

The Company’s revenue from contracts accounted for under time-and-material, progress billing and percentage-of-completion methods as a percentage of consolidated revenue for the quarters ended March 29, 2019 and two quarters ended June 29,March 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 was as follows:

Revenue in the Company’s European operations significantly increased in the 2018 second2019 first quarter and year-to-date periods as compared with the corresponding 2017 periods increased2018 period primarily due to a significantan increase in IT solutions and IT staffing demand across a number of the Company’s vertical markets and the addition of Tech-IT, which was acquired on February 6, 2019, and a full quarter of revenue from Soft Company, which was acquired on February 15, 2018.


The revenue increase in Europe in the countries in which the Company operates (Belgium, Luxembourg, United Kingdom, and France) in the 2018 second2019 first quarter was impacted in part by the relative weaknessstrength of the U.S. dollar as compared with the currencies of Belgium, Luxembourg, United Kingdom, and France. In Belgium, Luxembourg, and France, where a significant portion of the Company’s revenue from its European operations is generated, the functional currency is the Euro, while in the United Kingdom the functional currency is the British Pound. In the 2018 second2019 first quarter as compared with the 2017 second2018 first quarter, the average value of the Euro increased 8.4%decreased 7.6% while the average value of the British Pound increaseddecreased 6.4%. If there had been no change in these exchange rates from the 2017 second2018 first quarter to the 2018 second2019 first quarter, total European revenue would have been approximately $2.4$3.1 million lower, or $29.7 million as compared with the $32.1 million reportedhigher and operating income would have been approximately $0.1 million lower, or $1.4 million as compared with the $1.5 million reported. In the 2018 year-to-date period as compared with the corresponding 2017 period, the average value of the Euro increased 11.8% while the average value of the British Pound increased 9.3%. If there had been no change in these exchange rates from the first two quarters of 2017 to the corresponding 2018 period, total European revenue would have been approximately $6.3 million lower, or $54.9 million as compared with the $61.2 million reported and operating income would have been approximately $0.4 million lower, or $3.0 million as compared with the $3.4 million reported.higher.

The Company continues to assess the potential impact, if any, that the United Kingdom’s proposed exit from the European Union (Brexit) will have on the Company’s operations. To date, there has been a nominal impact on the Company’s operating results from Brexit. As the total revenue generated by our British subsidiary is immaterial as compared with the Company’s total consolidated revenue, we do not expect the impact of the pending exit to have a material impact on the Company’s operations.

In the 2018 second2019 first quarter, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) was the Company’s largest customer and accounted for $21.9$20.9 million or 23.6%21.6% of consolidated revenue compared with $19.0$18.9 million or 25.1%22.8% of consolidated revenue in the comparable 20172018 period. In the 2018 year-to-date period, IBM accounted for $40.8 million or 23.2% of consolidated revenue compared with $39.3 million or 25.8% of consolidated revenue in the comparable 2017 period. During the 2017 third quarter, theThe National Technical Services Agreement with IBM was extended for two years and now expires on December 31, 2019. The Company’s accounts receivable from IBM at JuneMarch 29, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018 totaled $24.4$22.8 million and $21.5 million, respectively.

comparable 2017 period.  In the 2018 year-to-date period, SDI accounted for $13.5 million or 7.6% of consolidated revenue compared with $18.8 million or 12.3% of consolidated revenue in the comparable 2017 period. SDI acts as a vendor manager for Lenovo, and all of the Company's revenue generated through SDI is for employees working at Lenovo. The Company’s accounts receivable from SDI at June 29, 2018 and December 31, 2017 totaled $4.3 million and $4.7$22.1 million, respectively.

The Company’s direct costs as a percentage of revenue decreasedincreased in the 2018 second2019 first quarter and year-to-date periods as compared with the corresponding 2017 periods due to a change in the business mix to a higher percentage of IT solutions business which has lower direct costs, and lower fringe benefit costs in 2018. Direct costs decreased in the 2018 year-to-date period as compared with the corresponding 2017 period primarily due to an improvementlower utilization of billable resources in employee utilization year-over-year and a decrease in medical costs.several of our European operations.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were 17.3%17.0% of revenue in the 2018 second2019 first quarter as compared with 17.0%18.4% in the corresponding 2017 period, and 17.8% of revenue in the 2018 year-to-date period and 16.8% of revenue in the corresponding 2017 period. The increasedecrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue year-over-year is primarily due to SG&A expenses associated with our operating units as the Company continues to make investments in sales, recruiting and delivery resources in order to focus on its long-term growth, and certainacquisition related costs incurred during 2018 associated with the acquisition of Soft Company.Company, and a continued focus on disciplined cost management.

Consolidated operating income was 1.8%1.2% of revenue in the 2019 first quarter, as compared with 0.7% of revenue in the 2018 second quarter, as compared with 1.1% of revenue in the 2017 second quarter, and 1.3% of revenue in the 2018 year-to-date period compared with 1.5% in the corresponding 2017 period.first quarter.

The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) is calculated quarterly based upon current assumptions relating to the full year’s estimated operating results and various tax-related items. The 2019 and 2018 second quarter and year-to-date ETR was 27.8% and 26.1%, respectively, and 2017 secondfirst quarter ETR was 33.3% and the 2017 year-to-date21.7%, respectively.

The ETR was 38.5%.higher in the 2019 first quarter primarily due to non-deductible acquisition costs related to the Soft Company acquisition.

The ETR was lower in the 2018 secondfirst quarter and year-to-date period primarily due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs act which reduced the US federal corporate tax rate to 21%, the tax benefit for windfalls from equity-based compensation transactions, and tax benefits for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) and Credit for Increasing Research Activities (R&D).

Net income was 1.0%0.7% of revenue or $0.07$0.05 per diluted share in the 2018 second2019 first quarter, as compared with 0.6%0.5% of revenue or $0.03 per diluted share in the 2017 second quarter, and 0.8% or $0.09 per diluted share in the 2018 year-to-date period compared with 0.8% or $0.08 in the 2017 year-to-date period.first quarter. Diluted earnings per share was calculated using 14.513.8 million and 15.515.3 million weighted-average equivalent shares outstanding for the quarters ended JuneMarch 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018, and June 30, 2017, respectively, and 14.9 million and 15.5 million weighted-average equivalent shares outstanding for the two quarters ended June 29, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively. The decrease in weighted-equivalent shares outstanding in 2018 is primarily due to the Dutch auction tender offer where the Company repurchased 10% of its outstanding shares in April 2018.


Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company’s management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company’s significant accounting policies, along with the underlying assumptions and judgments made by the Company’s management in their application, have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company identifies its critical accounting policies as those that are the most pervasive and important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial position and results of operations, and that require the most difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments by management regarding estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s critical accounting policies are those related to income taxes, specifically relating to the valuation allowance for deferred income taxes.

Income Taxes—Valuation Allowances on Deferred Tax Assets

At JuneMarch 29, 2018,2019, the Company had a total of approximately $1.8$0.8 million of non-current deferred tax assets, netand approximately $1.8 million of deferred tax liabilities, recorded on its consolidated balance sheet. The deferred tax assets, net, primarily consist of deferred compensation, loss carryforwards and state taxes. The changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities from period to period are determined based upon the changes in differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the basis of assets and liabilities for tax purposes, as measured by the expected tax rates when these differences are estimated to reverse. The Company has made certain assumptions regarding the timing of the reversal of these assets and liabilities, and whether taxable income in future periods will be sufficient to recognize all or a part of any gross deferred tax asset of the Company.

At JuneMarch 29, 2018,2019, the Company had deferred tax assets recorded resulting from net operating losses in previous years totaling approximately $1.0 million. The Company has analyzed each jurisdiction’s tax position, including forecasting potential taxable income in future periods and the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards as applicable, and determined that it is unclear whether all of these deferred tax assets will be realized at any point in the future. Accordingly, at JuneMarch 29, 2018,2019, the Company had offset a portion of these assets with a valuation allowance totaling $0.9$0.3 million, resulting in a net deferred tax asset from net operating loss carryforwards of $0.1$0.7 million.

The Company’s deferred tax assets and their potential realizability are evaluated each quarter to determine if any changes should be made to the valuation allowance. Any change in the valuation allowance in the future could result in a change in the Company’s ETR. A 1% change in the ETR in the 2018 second2019 first quarter and year-to-date period would have increased or decreased net income by approximately $13,000 and $18,000, respectively.$9,500.

Other Estimates

The Company has also made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of its assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare the consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, the FASB, and other regulatory authorities. Such estimates primarily relate to the purchase accounting for acquisitions, valuation of stock options and restricted stock for recording equity-based compensation expense, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, investment valuation, legal matters, and estimates of progress toward completion and direct profit or loss on contracts, as applicable. As future events and their effect on the Company's operating results cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in the economic climates in which the Company operates may affect these estimates and will be reflected in the Company’s financial statements in the event they occur.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," ("ASU 2014-09"). On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606 using the cumulative effect method and applied the requirements of the new standard to only projects that were open as of January 1, 2018. Results for the reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605.

The Company recorded a net positive adjustment to beginning retained earnings of less than $0.1 million and a corresponding amount to unbilled receivables as of January 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting Topic 606, primarily related to a change in the identification of performance obligations on certain projects. In addition, the Company evaluated its principal and agent conclusions when more than one party is involved in providing goods or service to a customer. The Company recorded approximately $1.3 million, or 1.4% of our 2018 second quarter consolidated revenue and approximately $2.9 million, or 1.6% of our 2018 year-to-date revenue on a gross basis, which would have been recorded on a net basis under our historic accounting under Topic 605. The Company reported $92.7 million and $175.4 million of revenue in the 2018 second quarter and 2018 year-to-date period, respectively, under Topic 606 and the Company would have reported approximately $91.4 million and $172.5 million of revenue under Topic 605.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease standard using the modified retrospective transition approach and elected the transition method to apply the new lease standard as of the January 1, 2019 adoption date. Results for the reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with accounting under Topic 840.

In addition, the Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company has also elected the practical expedient to separate lease and non-lease components for its office leases and has elected to group lease and non-lease components for its vehicle leases. Upon adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $13.1 million of operating lease right-of-use assets and $13.0 million of lease liabilities. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The new lease standard does not affect the Company’s compliance with financial covenants associated with its debt agreement.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which requires lesseesthe immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basisoccur over the termremaining life of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. Topic 842 supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840, Leases.many financial assets, including trade receivables. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; 2019;


however, early adoption is permitted. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-022016-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715),” which requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs

26


arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement. The Company has adopted this standard and has applied it retrospectively in the 2018 first quarter. Upon adoption, the Company reduced selling, general, and administrative expenses by approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million and increased interest and other expense by a corresponding amount for the 2017 second quarter and 2017 year-to-date period, respectively.

Revenue in the Company’s European operations in the 2018 second2019 first quarter and year-to-date period as compared with the corresponding 20172018 period significantly increased primarily due to an increase in IT solutions and staffing work across a number of the Company’s vertical markets and the integration of Soft Company,Tech-IT, which was acquired on February 15, 2018.6, 2019. The revenue increase in Europe in the countries in which the Company operates (Belgium, Luxembourg, United Kingdom, and France) in the 2018 second2019 first quarter was impacted in part by the relative weaknessstrength of the U.S. dollar as compared with the currencies of Belgium, Luxembourg, United Kingdom, and France. In Belgium, Luxembourg, and France, where a significant portion of the Company’s revenue from its European operations is generated, the functional currency is the Euro, while in the United Kingdom the functional currency is the British Pound. In the 2018 second2019 first quarter as compared with the 2017 second2018 first quarter, the average value of the Euro increased 8.4%decreased 7.6% while the average value of the British Pound increaseddecreased 6.4%. If there had been no change in these exchange rates from the 2017 second2018 first quarter to the 2018 second2019 first quarter, total European revenue would have been approximately $2.4$3.1 million lower, or $29.7 million as compared with the $32.1 million reportedhigher and operating income would have been approximately $0.1 million lower, or $1.4 million as compared with the $1.5 million reported. In the 2018 year-to-date period as compared with the corresponding 2017 period, the average value of the Euro increased 11.8% while the average value of the British Pound increased 9.3%. If there had been no change in these exchange rates from the first two quarters of 2017 to the corresponding 2018 period, total European revenue would have been approximately $6.3 million lower, or $54.9 million as compared with the $61.2 million reported and operating income would have been approximately $0.4 million lower, or $3.0 million as compared with the $3.4 million reported.higher.

The Company has historically not used any market risk sensitive instruments to hedge its foreign currency exchange risk. The Company believes the market risk related to intercompany balances in future periods will not have a material effect on its results of operations.
