CSG SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

1. GENERAL

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, and for the quarters and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results have been included. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Financial Statements”) should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 (our “2020“2021 10-K”), filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the quarter and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the entire year ending December 31, 2021.2022.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements. The preparation of the accompanying Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications. Certain amounts for the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the September 30, 2021 presentation.

Beginning with the second quarter of 2021, we determined that settlement and merchant reserve assets consist of restricted cash and are now included with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (the “Statements of Cash Flows”). Historically, we presented the change in settlement and merchant reserve assets and liabilities as part of the changes in operating assets and liabilities on the Statements of Cash Flows. Additionally, cash flows related to our settlement and merchant reserve liabilities have been reclassified from cash flows from operating activities to cash flows from financing activities.

Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These changes have no impact on our previously reported consolidated net income, total assets, including cash and cash equivalents, liabilities, and equity. In addition, these changes have no material impact on our previously reported cash flows from operating activities.

Revenue. The majority of our future revenue is related to our revenue management solution customer contracts that include variable consideration dependent upon a series of monthly volumes and/or daily usage of services and have contractual terms ending from 20212022 through 2028. Our customer contracts may include guaranteed minimums and fixed monthly or annual fees. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, our aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations is approximately $9002 million,billion, which is made up of fixed fee consideration and guaranteed minimums expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied). We expect to recognize approximately 7565% of this amount by the end of 20232024, with the remaining amount recognized by the end of2028. We have excluded from this amount variable consideration expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied.

The nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of our revenue and how revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors is most appropriately depicted by revenue type, geographic region, and customer vertical.

Deferred revenue recognized during the quarters ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 20202021 was $9.912.3 million and $6.111.9 million, respectively and during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 20202021 was $41.940.3 million and $33.432.0 million, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of the purchase to be cash equivalents. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, our cash equivalents consist primarily of institutional money market funds, commercial paper, and time deposits held at major banks. For the cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies and/or located outside the U.S., we do not anticipate any material amounts being unavailable for use in running our business, but may face limitations on moving cash out of certain foreign jurisdictions due to currency controls and potential negative economic consequences.

Restricted Cash. Restricted cash includes cash that is legally or contractually restricted, as well as our settlement and merchant reserve assets. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we had $1.42.0 million and $1.71.4 million, respectively, of restricted cash that serves to collateralize outstanding letters of credit included in cash and cash equivalents in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (“Balance Sheets” or “Balance Sheet”).

Settlement and Merchant Reserve Assets and Liabilities. Settlement assets and liabilities represent cash collected on behalf of customers via payment processing services which is held for an established holding period until settlement with the customer. The holding period is generally one to four business days depending on the payment model, risk profile, and contractual terms with the customer. During the holding period, cash is held in trust with various major financial institutions and a corresponding liability is recorded for the amounts owed to the merchant. At any given time, there may be differences between the cash held in trust and the corresponding liability due to the timing of operating-related cash transfers.

10


Merchant reserves represent deposits collected from customers to mitigate our risk of loss due to nonperformance of settlement obligations initiated by our customers using our payment processing services, or non-payment by customers for services rendered by us. We perform a credit risk evaluation on each customer based on multiple criteria, which provide the basis for the deposit amount required for each customer. For the duration of our relationship with each customer, we hold their reserve deposits with major financial institutions. We hold these funds in separate accounts and are fully offset by corresponding liabilities.

2021 Credit Agreement. On September 13, 2021,During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we entered into a newmade $6003.8 million credit agreement (the “2021 Credit Agreement”) with a consortium of banks to replaceprincipal repayments on our $350 million credit agreement (“2018 Credit Agreement”).

The 2021 Credit Agreement provides borrowings in the form of: (i) a $150 million aggregate principal five-year term loan (the “2021 Term Loan”); and (ii) a. Additionally, in March 2022 we borrowed $245.0 million from our $450 million aggregate principal five-year revolving loan facility (the “2021(“2021 Revolver”). With the $These funds were used to settle our 2016 Convertible Notes (see below).

million proceeds fromAs of June 30, 2022, our interest rate on the 2021 Term Loan we repaidand 2021 Revolver is 3.625% (adjusted LIBOR plus 1.375% per annum), and our commitment fee on the outstandingunused $120205.0 million balance of the term loan under the 2018 Credit Agreement, resulting in a net increase of available cash by2021 Revolver is 0.15%. In July 2022, we borrowed an additional $3015.0 million a portion of which we used to pay certain fees and expenses in connectionon our revolver, leaving us currently with the refinancing, and the remainder of which will be used for general corporate purposes.$190.0 million available.

The interest rates under the 2021 Credit Agreement are based upon our choice of an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.375% - 2.125%, or an alternate base rate (“ABR”) plus an applicable margin of 0.375% - 1.125%, with the applicable margin, depending on our then-net secured total leverage ratio. We will pay a commitment fee of 0.150% - 0.325% of the average daily unused amount of the 2021 Revolver, with the commitment fee rate also dependent upon our then-net secured total leverage ratio. The 2021 Credit Agreement includes LIBOR transition language in which we can elect an ABR, a Eurodollar rate, an alternate currency term rate, or an alternate currency daily rate.

The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants. In addition, the 2021 Credit Agreement has customary negative covenants that places limits on our ability to: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) create liens on its property; (iii) make investments; (iv) enter into mergers and consolidations; (v) sell assets; (vi) declare dividends or repurchase shares; (vii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and (viii) prepay certain indebtedness; and (ix) issue capital stock of subsidiaries. We must also meet certain financial covenants to include: (i) a maximum total leverage ratio; (ii) a maximum first-lien leverage ratio; and (iii) a minimum interest coverage ratio. In conjunction with the 2021 Credit Agreement, we entered into a security agreement in favor of Bank of America N.A, as collateral agent (the “Security Agreement”). Under the Security Agreement and 2021 Credit Agreement, certain of our domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed its obligations, and have pledged substantially all of our assets to secure the obligations under the 2021 Credit Agreement and such guarantees.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we made $6.6 million of principal repayments on our 2018 Term Loan. As of September 30, 2021, our interest rate on the 2021 Term Loan is 1.51% (adjusted LIBOR plus 1.375% per annum), effective through December 31 2021, and our commitment fee on the 2021 Revolver is 0.15%. As of September 30, 2021, we had 0 borrowing outstanding on our 2021 Revolver and had the entire $450.0 million available to us.

In conjunction with the closing of the 2021 Credit Agreement, we incurred financing costs of $3.0 million. When combined with the remaining deferred financing costs of the 2018 Credit Agreement, financing costs of $3.7 million have been deferred and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the related term of the 2021 Credit Agreement. Additionally, as certain lenders from the 2018 Credit Agreement chose not to participate in the 2021 Credit Agreement syndication group, we wrote-off $0.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs and recognized a loss on extinguishment of that debt.

2016 Convertible Notes. We will settle conversions of the 2016 Convertible Notes by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, at our election. It is our current intent and policy to settle our conversion obligations as follows: (i) pay cash for 100% of the par value of the 2016 Convertible Notes that are converted; and (ii) to the extent the value of our conversion obligation exceeds the par value, we can satisfy the remaining conversion obligation in our common stock, cash, or a combination thereof.

The 2016 Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the note holders upon the satisfaction of specified conditions and during certain periods. During the period from, and including, December 15, 2021 to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2022 and on or after December 15, 2035,(the “Conversion Period”), the 2016 Convertible Note holders maywere able to convert all or any portion of their 2016 Convertible Notes at the conversion rate then in effect at any time regardless(17.7621 shares of these conditions.our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2016 Convertible Notes).

6. RESTRUCTURING AND REORGANIZATION CHARGES

During the second quarters of 2022 and 2021, we recorded restructuring and reorganization charges of $19.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded restructuring and reorganization charges of $32.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 we implemented the following restructuring and reorganizational activities:

In connection with our workplace of the future philosophy, we consolidated space at seven of our leased real estate locations in the United States and India, resulting in restructuring charges of $17.3 million related to the impairments of operating lease right-of-use assets, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements and $2.4 million of accelerated depreciation.

6.7. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES

Guarantees. In the ordinary course of business, we may provide guarantees in the form of bid bonds, performance bonds, or standby letters of credit. At SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we had $2.42.9 million of restricted assets used to collateralize these guarantees, with $1.42.0 million included in cash and cash equivalents and $1.00.9 million included in other non-current assets. We have bid bonds and performance guarantees in the form of surety bonds issued through a third-party of $3.94.4 million that were not required to be recorded on our Balance Sheet. We are ultimately liable for claims that may occur against these guarantees. We have no history of material claims or are aware of circumstances that would require us to pay under any of these arrangements. We also believe that the resolution of any claim that may arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not be material to our Financial Statements.

Additionally, we have money transmitter bonds issued through a third-party for the benefit of various states to comply with the states’ financial requirements and industry regulations for money transmitter licenses. At SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we had total aggregate money transmitter bonds of approximately $1617 million outstanding.

14


Warranties. We generally warrant that our solutions and related offerings will conform to published specifications, or to specifications provided in an individual customer arrangement, as applicable. The typical warranty period is 90 days from the date of acceptance of the solution or offering. For certain service offerings we provide a warranty for the duration of the services provided. We generally warrant that those services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner. The typical remedy for breach of warranty is to correct or replace any defective deliverable, and if not possible or practical, we will accept the return of the defective deliverable and refund the amount paid under the customer arrangement that is allocable to the defective deliverable. Our contracts also generally contain limitation of damages provisions in an effort to reduce our exposure to monetary damages arising from breach of warranty claims. Historically, we have incurred minimal warranty costs, and as a result, do not maintain a warranty reserve.

Solution and Services Indemnifications. Our arrangements with our customers generally include an indemnification provision that will indemnify and defend a customer in actions brought against the customer that claim our products and/or services infringe upon a copyright, trade secret, or valid patent. Historically, we have not incurred any significant costs related to such indemnification claims, and as a result, do not maintain a reserve for such exposure.

Claims for Company Non-performance. Our arrangements with our customers typically limit our liability for breach to a specified amount of the direct damages incurred by the customer resulting from the breach. From time-to-time, these arrangements may also include provisions for possible liquidated damages or other financial remedies for our non-performance, or in the case of certain of our outsourced customer care and billing solutions,revenue management platforms, provisions for damages related to service level performance requirements. The service level performance requirements typically relate to system availability and timeliness of service delivery. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we believe we have adequate reserves, based on our historical experience, to cover any reasonably anticipated exposure as a result of our nonperformance for any past or current arrangements with our customers.

Indemnifications Related to Officers and the Board of Directors. We have agreed to indemnify members of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) and certain of our officers if they are named or threatened to be named as a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that they acted in such capacity. We maintain directors’ and officers’ (D&O) insurance coverage to protect against such losses. We have not historically incurred any losses related to these types of indemnifications, and are not aware of any pending or threatened actions or claims against any officer or member of our Board. As a result, we have not recorded any liabilities related to such indemnifications as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021.2022. In addition, as a result of the insurance policy coverage, we believe these indemnification agreements are not significant to our results of operations.

Legal Proceedings. From time-to-time, we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business.

The stock warrants have a dilutive effect only in those quarterly periods in which our average stock price exceeds the exercise price of $26.68 per warrant (under the treasury stock method), and are not subject to performance vesting conditions (see Note 8)9). Potentially dilutive common shares related to non-participating unvested restricted stock excluded from the computation of diluted EPS, as the effect was antidilutive, were not material in any period presented.

The Stock Warrants have a ten-year term and an exercise price of $26.68 per warrant.

Acquisition Activity

Impact

During 2021, we completed the following acquisitions: (i) Tango Telecom Limited (“Tango”) in May; (ii) Kitewheel, LLC (“Kitewheel”) in July; (iii) Keydok in September; and (iv) DGIT in October. Additionally, in July 2021, we obtained a controlling interest in MobileCard. The results of COVID-19

In March 2020,these businesses are included in our 2021 results of operations from the World Health Organization declaredacquisition date forward. As a global pandemic related to the rapidly spreading coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak which has led to a global health emergency. Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, we have remained focused on protecting the health and safetyresult, our year-over-year results of our employees, while meeting the needs of our customers. While we have taken measures to protect our employees, to include a remote working environment for those employees who are able to conduct business from home and reduced travel, we are still conducting business as usual and are working with our customers to minimize any potential disruption. Additionally, we have begun to roll out our workplace of the future philosophy that supports work-life integration and employees' diverse needs, providing flexibility and personal choice so employees can do their best work from anywhere. We do not believe that our workplace philosophy and limited staffing in select office locations has adversely impacted our internal controls, financial reporting systems, or our operations.

The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be ablecomparable between periods due to accurately predict. As we continue to manage our business in this uncertain environment, our priorities remain the health and safetytiming of our employees, providing our customers with world-class services and solutions, and prudently managing our liquidity to ensure our continued financial strength. As a result of COVID-19 related supply chain issues, our capital expenditures may increase in the short-term as we forward purchase IT related hardware and other supplies. As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately $225 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and an additional $450 million available to borrow under our revolving credit facility.transactions. The comparable differences have been described below where relevant or significant.

The 2021 acquired businesses have been operating at a lower operating margin than our organic business operations as time is required to realize the expected synergies, thus, having a dilutive impact on our operating results. In June 2022, our management team, with the support of our Board, decided to shut-down the MobileCard business as it was not meeting its projected targets. See Note 6 to our Financial Statements for further details of the dissolution of MobileCard.

See our 20202021 10-K for additional discussion of our business relationships and contractual terms with CharterComcast and Comcast.

Charter.Charter is one of our significant customers representing approximately 21% of our revenue. On November 2, 2021, we entered into an amendment to our current agreement with Charter (the “Amended Agreement”). The Amended Agreement provides the framework for Charter to consolidate its residential and small and medium business internet, video, and landline voice customer accounts (“Customer Account(s)”) onto our Advanced Convergent Platform (“ACP”) solution. The key terms of the Amended Agreement are as follows:

The Amended Agreement is effective January 1, 2022, and extends our contractual relationship with Charter through December 31, 2027 (a six-year initial term). In addition, the Amended Agreement will automatically be extended for an additional one-year term, subject to Charter achieving certain conditional processing minimums on July 1, 2027, unless Charter provides us with written notice of non-renewal.
Consistent with the previous agreements, the fees to be generated under the Amended Agreement will be based primarily on monthly recurring charges for our revenue and customer management solutions and related services per Customer Account, and various other ancillary services based on actual usage. Certain of the per-unit fees include volume-based pricing tiers, and may be subject to annual price escalators.
The Amended Agreement contains modified pricing and a minimum commitment associated with the number of Customer Accounts that are to be processed on ACP which encompasses all subscribers receiving services. However, if Charter fails to achieve the minimum commitment by December 31, 2027, Charter will be obligated to pay a minimum commitment true-up, to be invoiced in January 2028. In order for Charter to meet the minimum commitment, Charter will need to convert additional Customer Accounts onto ACP. As such, the Amended Agreement outlines the estimated conversion and go-live for the remaining Customer Accounts not already on ACP, and includes incentives for the conversion of those additional Customer Accounts onto ACP.
We maintain the exclusive right to provide print and mail services to all current and future Customer Accounts through the term of the Amended Agreement.
The Amended Agreement contains certain rights and obligations of both parties, including the following key items: (i) the termination of the Agreement under certain conditions; (ii) various service level commitments; and (iii) remedies and limitation on liabilities associated with specified breaches of contractual obligations.

During the second and third quarters of 2021, Charter migrated approximately 300,000 and 800,000 Charter Customer Accounts, respectively, onto our ACP solution. As outlined in the Amended Agreement, Charter currently plans to migrate their remaining Customer Accounts onto ACP over an estimated twelve to eighteen months. The Amended Agreement is not expected to have a material impact to our 2021 results of operations.

21


The anticipated revenue impact from the Amended Agreement in both the near and long terms may vary depending on the actual number of Customer Accounts converting, the timing of such conversion and the actual level of products and services consumed by Charter and actual results may vary depending upon a variety of factors. We undertake no duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Risk of Customer Concentration. We expect to continue to generate a significant percentage of our future revenue from our largest customers mentioned above. There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of total revenue are concentrated with a limited number of customers. Should a significant customer: (i) terminate or fail to renew their contracts with us, in whole or in part, for any reason; (ii) significantly reduce the number of customer accounts processed on our solutions, the price paid for our services, or the scope of services that we provide; or (iii) experience significant financial or operating difficulties, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to select appropriate accounting policies, and to make judgments and estimates affecting the application of those accounting policies. In applying our accounting policies, different business conditions or the use of different assumptions may result in materially different amounts reported in our Financial Statements.

We have identified the most critical accounting policies that affect our financial position and the results of our operations. Those critical accounting policies were determined by considering the accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments. The most critical accounting policies identified relate to the following items: (i) revenue recognition; (ii) impairment assessments of long-lived assets; (iii) income taxes; and (iv) loss contingencies. These critical accounting policies, as well as our other significant accounting policies, are discussed in our 20202021 10-K.

Results of Operations

Revenue. Total revenue for the: (i) thirdsecond quarter of 20212022 was $263.2$262.2 million, a 7.8%2.8% increase when compared to $244.1$255.1 million for the thirdsecond quarter of 2020;2021; and (ii) ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 was $771.5$526.6 million, a 5.7%3.6% increase when compared to $730.0$508.3 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. These year-over-year increases in revenue can be primarilyalmost evenly attributed to the revenue generated from the businesses acquired in 2021 along with the continued growth of our revenue management solutions and to a lesser degree, favorable foreign currency movements. Approximately 90% of the year-over-year increases in revenue can be attributed to organic growth resulting mainly from increased professional services revenuesrevenue related to implementation projects, increased utilization of our managed services and interactive messaging solutions,payments volume, and conversions of customer accounts onto our solutions. In June 2022, we successfully converted approximately six million Charter customer accounts onto ACP.

Liquidity

Cash and Liquidity. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, our principal sources of liquidity included cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $224.5$135.0 million, as compared to $212.1$187.6 million as of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, and $240.3$233.7 million as of December 31, 2020.2021. We generally invest our excess cash balances in low-risk, short-term investments to limit our exposure to market and credit risks.

During the third quarter of 2021, we refinanced our 2018 Credit Agreement which extended the term of the loan from March 2023 to September 2026. The 2021 Credit Agreement increased our liquidity and capital resources position by approximately $30 million. Additionally, asAs part of our 2021 Credit Agreement, we expanded ourhave a $450 million senior secured revolving loan facility the 2021 Revolver, from $200 million to $450 million.with a syndicate of financial institutions that expires in September 2026. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021, there were no borrowings2022, we had $245.0 million outstanding on theour 2021 Revolver. In July 2022 we borrowed an additional $15.0 million and currently have $190.0 million available to us. The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and financial covenants. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, and the date of this filing, we believe that we are in compliance with the provisions of the 2021 Credit Agreement.

We generally have ready access to substantially all of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances, but may face limitations on moving cash out of certain foreign jurisdictions due to currency controls and potential negative economic consequences. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we had $1.4$2.0 million of cash restricted as to use primarily to collateralize outstanding letters of credit included in our total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance.

Additionally, as of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we have $158.9$213.5 million and $166.0$186.3 million, respectively, of settlement and merchant reserve assets. These funds are held with major financial institutions and while not legally or contractually restricted, we do hold these funds in separate accounts, and classify them as restricted cash in theour Statements of Cash Flows.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. We calculate our cash flows from operating activities beginning with net income, adding back the impact of non-cash items or non-operating activity (e.g., depreciation, amortization, amortization of OID, impairments, gain/loss from debt extinguishments, gains/losses from derivative liabilities upon debt conversion, deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation, etc.), and then factoring in the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities. See our 20202021 10-K for a description of the primary uses and sources of our cash flows from operating activities.

Cash flows from operating activities for the first quarter of 2021 and the first and second quarters 2020 were negatively impacted by the timing of certain recurring key customer payments that were delayed and received subsequent to quarter-end, of approximately $26 million for the first quarter of 2021, and $33 million and $26 million for the first and second quarters of 2020.

Additionally, cash flows from operating activities for the first quarters of 20212022 and 20202021 reflect the impactsimpact of the payment of the 20202021 and 20192020 year-end accrued employee incentive compensation in the first quarter subsequent to the year-end accrual for these items.

We believe the above table illustrates our ability to generate recurring quarterly cash

Cash flows from operating activities were negatively impacted by the capitalization of certain R&D expenses for tax purposes, as required by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act beginning in 2022. The negative impact of this change for the first and second quarters of 2022 resulted in a net use of cash for our operations,deferred income taxes of approximately $8 million and $7 million, respectively.

Cash flows from operating activities for the importancefirst quarter of managing our2021 were negatively impacted by the timing of a certain recurring key customer payment that was delayed and received subsequent to quarter-end, of approximately $26 million.
(4)
Cash flows from operating activities for the second quarter of 2022 were negatively impacted by unfavorable changes in working capital, items. which can mainly be attributed to timing.

Variations in our net cash provided byby/used in operating activities are generally related to the changes in our operating assets and liabilities (related mostly to fluctuations in timing at quarter-end of customer payments and changes in accrued employee-related expenses), and generally over longer periods of time, do not significantly impact our cash flows from operations.

24


Significant fluctuations in key operating assets and liabilities between 20212022 and 20202021 that impacted our cash flows from operating activities are as follows:

Billed Trade Accounts Receivable

Management of our billed accounts receivable is one of the primary factors in maintaining strong cash flows from operating activities. Our billed trade accounts receivable balance includes significant billings for several non-revenue items (primarily postage, sales tax, and deferred revenue items). As a result, we evaluate our performance in collecting our accounts receivable through our calculation of days billings outstanding (“DBO”) rather than a typical days sales outstanding (“DSO”) calculation.

Our gross and net billed trade accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts receivable (“Allowance”) as of the end of the indicated quarterly periods, and the related DBOs for the quarters then ended, are as follows (in thousands, except DBOs):

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and 2021, approximately 94% and 2020, approximately 97% and 95%96%, respectively, of our billed accounts receivable balance were less than 60 days past due.

The DBO metric for the first quarter of 2021 and the first and second quarters of 2020 were negatively impacted by the delays of certain recurring key customer payments, as noted above. We may experience future adverse impacts to our DBOs if and when thesecustomer payment delays occur. However, these recurring monthly payments that cross a reporting period-end do not raise any collectability concerns, as payment is generally received subsequent to quarter-end. All other changes in our gross and net billed accounts receivable reflect the normal fluctuations in the timing of customer payments at quarter-end, as evidenced by our relatively consistent DBO metric.

As a global provider of softwaresolutions and professional services, a portion of our accounts receivable balance relates to international customers. This diversity in the geographic composition of our customer base may adversely impact our DBOs as longer billing cycles (i.e., billing terms and cash collection cycles) are an inherent characteristic of international software and professional services transactions. For example, our ability to invoice and collect arrangement fees may be dependent upon, among other things: (i) the completion of various customer administrative matters, local country billing protocols and processes (including local cultural differences), and non-customer administrative matters; (ii) meeting certain contractual invoicing milestones; (iii) the overall project status in certain situations in which we act as a subcontractor to another vendor on a project; or (iv) due to currency controls in certain foreign jurisdictions.

Accrued Employee Compensation

Accrued employee compensation increased $6.8decreased $38.6 million to $93.1$52.5 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, from $86.3$91.1 million as of December 31, 2020,2021, due primarily to accruals forthe payment of the 2021 employee incentive compensation and wages, offset byduring the paymentfirst quarter of the 2020 employee incentive compensation2022 that was fully accrued at December 31, 2020.

Income Taxes Payable/Receivable

Net income taxes payable/receivable (current and non-current) at SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 was a net income taxes payablereceivable balance of $0.7$14.9 million, compared to a net income taxes payable balance of $6.9$2.0 million at December 31, 2020. This net of $6.2$12.9 million change is primarily due to the timing of our estimated Federal and state income tax payments.

Capital Resources

The following are the key items to consider in assessing our sources and uses of capital resources:

Current Sources of Capital Resources. Below are the key items to consider in assessing our current sources of capital resources:

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $224.5$135.0 million, of which approximately 68%48% is in U.S. dollars and held in the U.S. Included in cash and cash equivalents is $1.4$2.0 million of restricted cash, used primarily to collateralize outstanding letters of credit. For the remainder of the monies denominated in foreign currencies and/or located outside the U.S., we do not anticipate any material amounts being unavailable for use in funding our business, but may face limitations on moving cash out of certain foreign jurisdictions due to currency controls and potential negative economic consequences.
Operating Cash Flows. As described in the Liquidity section above, we believe we have the ability to generate strong cash flows to fund our operating activities and act as a source of funds for our capital resource needs.needs, although we may experience quarterly variations in our cash flows from operations related to the changes in our operating assets and liabilities.
Revolving Credit Facility. In SeptemberAs part of our 2021 we refinanced our 2018 Credit Agreement, which includeswe have a $450 million revolving loan facility, our 2021 Revolver. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we had no borrowing$245 million outstanding on our 2021 RevolverRevolver. In July 2022 we borrowed an additional $15.0 million and had the entire $450currently have $190.0 million available to us. Our long-term debt obligations are discussed in more detail in Note 4 to our Financial Statements.

Uses/Potential Uses of Capital Resources. Below are the key items to consider in assessing our uses/potential uses of capital resources:

Common Stock Repurchases. We have made repurchases of our common stock in the past under our Stock Repurchase Program. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we had 3.93.0 million shares authorized for repurchase remaining under our Stock Repurchase Program. Our 2021 Credit Agreement may placeplaces certain limitations on our ability to repurchase our common stock.

Under our Stock Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including through an accelerated stock repurchase plan or under a SEC Rule 10b5-1 plan. The actual timing and amount of share repurchases are dependent on the current market conditions and other business-related factors. Our common stock repurchases are discussed in more detail in Note 89 to our Financial Statements.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we repurchased approximately 438,000626,000 shares of our common stock for $20.1$37.6 million (weighted-average price of $46.04$59.99 per share).

Outside of our Stock Repurchase Program, during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we repurchased from our employees and then cancelled approximately 115,000125,000 shares of our common stock for $5.4$7.9 million in connection with minimum tax withholding requirements resulting from the vesting of restricted common stock under our stock incentive plans.

Executive Transition. In August 2020, we entered into a Separation Agreement with our former President and CEO which includes a commitment to pay additional compensation of approximately $7 million, for which approximately $5 million will bewas paid in the fourth quarter of 2021 and approximately $2 million will bewas paid in the first quarter of 2022.
Cash Dividends. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the Board declared dividends totaling $24.5$17.1 million. Going forward, we expect to pay cash dividends each year in March, June, September, and December, with the amount and timing subject to the Board’s approval.

Acquisitions. As a result of our recent acquisition activity, we have the following potential future obligations:
o
The 2020 acquisition of Tekzenit acquisition includes provisions for additional purchase price payments in the form of earn-out and qualified sales payments for up to $10$10.0 million over a measurement period through March 31, 2023. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we have made no earn-out or qualified sales payments for this acquisition.

In May 2021, we acquired Tango, a leading supplier of convergent policy control and messaging solutions, for a$0.6 million accrued related to the contingent purchase price payments and have not accrued any amounts related to the post-acquisition compensation payments due to the uncertainty of approximately $13 million, or approximately $11 million, net of cash acquired.payment.

On July 1,

The 2021 we acquired Kitewheel a leading provider of customer journey orchestration and analytics for apurchase acquisition agreement includes deferred purchase price payments of $40 million, of which $34 million was paid upon close and the remaining $6$6.0 million to be paid in equal annual payments over the next three years.

Inamounts on July 1 of 2022, 2023, and 2024.

o
The 2021 we made an additional investment of $6.1 million in MobileCard. After this investment, we now hold a 64% controlling interest in the company.

On September 14, 2021, we acquired Keydok a digital identity and document management platform provider, headquartered in Mexico. We acquired 100% of the equity of Keydok for aacquisition purchase price of $1.0 million, whichagreement includes provisions for up to $18.0 million of potential future earn-out payments. As of June 30, 2022 we have not accrued any amounts related to the potential earn-out payments.

o

On October 4,

The 2021 we acquired DGIT Systems, a provider of configure, price, and quote (CPQ) and order management solutions for the telecoms industry. We acquired 100% of the equity of DGIT Systems for aacquisition purchase price includes escrowed funds of AUD 21.3approximately $2 million (approximately $16 million), which includesto be paid over the next four years, subject to certain reductions, as applicable. During the second quarter of 2022, $0.4 million was paid out. Additionally, there are provisions for up to AUD 18.0approximately $13 million (approximately $13.0 million) of potential future earn-out payments. The earn-out period is through September 30, 2025.

As of June 30, 2022 we accrued $0.1 million related to potential earn out payments.

These acquisitions were funded from currently available cash. Our acquisitions are discussed in more detail in Note 5 to our Financial Statements. As part of our growth strategy, we are continually evaluating potential business and/or asset acquisitions and investments in market share expansion with our existing and potential new customers and expansion into verticals outside the global communications market.

Capital Expenditures. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we spent $22.5$19.6 million on capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2021, we had committed to purchase $1.2 million of equipment.
Stock Warrants. We have issued Stock Warrants with an exercise price of $26.68 per warrant to Comcast as an incentive for Comcast to convert new customer accounts to ACP. Once vested, Comcast may exercise the Stock Warrants and elect either physical delivery of common shares or net share settlement (cashless exercise). Alternatively, the exercise of the Stock Warrants may be settled with cash based solely on our approval, or if Comcast were to beneficially own or control in excess of 19.99% of the common stock or voting of the Company. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021, 2022, approximately 1.0 million Stock Warrants remain issued, none of which are vested.

The Stock Warrants are discussed in more detail in Note 89 to our Financial Statements.

Long-Term Debt. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, our long-term debt consisted of the following:our 2021 Credit Agreement which includes: (i) 2016 Convertible Notes with a par valueoutstanding 2021 Term Loan borrowings of $230.0$144.4 million; and (ii) outstanding 2021 Credit Agreement with term loanRevolver borrowings of $150.0$245.0 million.

2016 Convertible Notes

Our 2016 Convertible Notes will be convertible at During the option of the note holders during the periodsix months ended June 30, 2022, we borrowed $245.0 million from December 15,our 2021 Revolver to the close of business on the day immediately preceding March 15, 2022, subject to an observation holding period of 40 days. For notes presented during this time frame, the settlement amount will be equal to the sum of the daily settlement amounts for each of the following 40 consecutive trading days during the related observation period. As a result, we have reclassifiedsettle our 2016 Convertible Notes as a current liability in our Balance Sheet. If nonefor $242.3 million. As of the notes are converted, called, or put, our debt interest cash outlay during the next twelve months for theJune 30, 2022, there were no remaining 2016 Convertible Notes will be $9.8 million of interest payments.outstanding.

2021 Credit Agreement

Our 2021 Credit Agreement mandatory repayments for the next twelve months are $7.5 million and the cash interest expense (based upon then current interest rates) for the next twelve months2021 Term Loan and 2021 Revolver (to include the additional $15.0 million that was borrowed in July 2022, assuming no further amounts are borrowed, and the amount is $7.5not paid down) are $5.2 million and $2.2$9.6 million, respectively. We have the ability to make prepayments without penalties on our 2021 Credit Agreement without penalty.Agreement.

Our long-term debt obligations are discussed in more detail in Note 4 to our Financial Statements.

In summary, we expect to continue to have material needs for capital resources going forward, as noted above. We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balances and our 2021 Revolver, together with cash expected to be generated in the future from our current operating activities, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital resource requirements for at least the next twelve months. We also believe we could obtain additional capital through other debt sources which may be available to us if deemed appropriate.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates, fluctuations and changes in the market value of our cash equivalents and short-term investments, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We have not historically entered into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Long-Term Debt. The interest rate on our 2016 Convertible Notes is fixed, and thus, as it relates to our convertible debt borrowings, we are not exposed to changes in interest rates.

The interest rates on our 2021 Credit Agreement are based upon an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin, or an alternate base rateABR plus an applicable margin. See Note 4 to our Financial Statements for further details ofrelated to our long-term debt.

A hypothetical adverse change of 10% in the SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 adjusted LIBOR rate would not have had a material impact upon our results of operations.

Market Risk

Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments. Our cash and cash equivalents as of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 were $195.4$133.8 million and $188.7$205.6 million, respectively. Certain of our cash balances are “swept”swept into overnight money market accounts on a daily basis, and at times, any excess funds are invested in low-risk, somewhat longer term, cash equivalent instruments and short-term investments. Our cash equivalents are invested primarily in institutional money market funds, commercial paper, and time deposits held at major banks. We have minimal market risk for our cash and cash equivalents due to the relatively short maturities of the instruments.

Our short-term investments as of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 were $29.2$1.3 million and $51.6$28.0 million, respectively. Currently, we utilize short-term investments as a means to invest our excess cash only in the U.S. The day-to-day management of our short-term investments is performed by a large financial institution in the U.S., using strict and formal investment guidelines approved by our Board. Under these guidelines, short-term investments are limited to certain acceptable investments with: (i) a maximum maturity; (ii) a maximum concentration and diversification; and (iii) a minimum acceptable credit quality. At this time, we believe we have minimal liquidity risk associated with the short-term investments included in our portfolio.

Settlement and Merchant Reserve Assets. We are exposed to market risk associated with cash held on behalf of our customersmerchants related to our payment processing services. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we had $158.9$213.5 million and $166.0$186.3 million, respectively, of cash collected on behalf of our customers.merchants. The cash is held in accounts with various major financial institutions in the U.S. and Canada in an amount equal to at least 100% of the aggregate amount owed to our customers.merchants. These balances can significantly fluctuate between periods due to activity at the end of the period and the day in which the period ends.

Long-Term Debt. The fair value of our convertible debt is exposed to market risk. We do not carry our convertible debt at fair value but present the fair value for disclosure purposes (see Note 2 to our Financial Statements). Generally, the fair value of our convertible debt is impacted by changes in interest rates and changes in the price and volatility of our common stock. As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of the 2016 Convertible Notes was estimated at $237.8 million, using quoted market prices.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Due to foreign operations around the world, our balance sheet and income statement are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk due to the fluctuations in the value of currencies in which we conduct business. While we attempt to maximize natural hedges by incurring expenses in the same currency in which we contract revenue, the related expenses for that revenue could be in one or more differing currencies than the revenue stream.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, we generated approximately 87% of our revenue in U.S. dollars. We expect that, in the foreseeable future, we will continue to generate a very large percentage of our revenue in U.S. dollars.
