Note About Forward-Looking Statements
 
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (including Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, from time to time, we and our representatives may make statements that are forward-looking. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including, but not limited to, statements about our plans, strategies, adequacy of resources and future financial results (such as revenue, gross profit, operating profit, cash flow, and tax rate), are forward-looking statements. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by words like anticipates, believes, expects, may, will, could, should, intends, plans, estimates and similar references to future periods. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Because these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: weakness or volatility in general economic conditions and levels of capital spending by clients in the industries we serve, including as a result of the Brexit referendum or the U.S. elections; weakness or volatility in the financial and capital markets, which may result in the postponement or cancellation of our clients' projects or the inability of our clients to pay our fees; the termination of one or more major client contracts or projects; the uncertain timing and funding of new contract awards and renewals; a high concentration of our business with a few large clients; the failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, and difficulties in integrating acquired businesses with CDI; the inability to obtain favorable price and other terms for any acquisitions and divestitures we may do; delays or reductions in U.S. government spending; credit risks associated with our clients; competitive market pressures; foreign currency fluctuations; restrictions on the availability of funds and on our activities under our asset-based, secured credit facility; the availability, retention and cost of qualified labor; our level of success in attracting, training, and retaining qualified management personnel and other staff employees; changes in tax laws and other government regulations, including the impact of health care reform laws and regulations; the possibility of incurring liability for our business activities, including, but not limited to, the activities of our professional employees and our temporary employees; our performance on client contracts; negative outcome of pending and future claims and litigation; improper disclosure or loss of sensitive or confidential company, client, government, employee or candidate information, including personal data; and government policies, legislation or judicial decisions adverse to our businesses. More detailed information about these and other risks and uncertainties may be found in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), particularly in the “Risk Factors” section in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to “CDI,” the "Registrant,” the "Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” are to CDI Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

CDI CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated)
(Unaudited)


1.    Business

CDI Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “CDI”) seek to create extraordinary outcomes with its clients by delivering solutions based on highly skilled and professional talent. CDI’s business is comprised of four segments: Enterprise Talent, Specialty Talent and Technology Solutions, Engineering Solutions and Management Recruiters International (MRI). CDI’s client offerings include an array of engineering design project solutions, information technology project solutions and managed services, specialty technology staff augmentation, and program and managed staffing services. CDI's clients are corporations in multiple industries, including energy, chemicals, infrastructure, aerospace, industrial equipment, technology, as well as municipal and state governments, and the United States (U.S.) Department of Defense. CDI has offices and delivery centers in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom (UK). In addition, CDI provides recruiting and staffing services through its global MRINetwork® of franchisees.

2.    Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CDI Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial reporting. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 3, 2016. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year.

3.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the assumptions used in the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, impairment assessment of goodwill, determination of the recoverability of long-lived assets, assessment of legal contingencies and calculation of income taxes.

Reclassifications - Certain historical financial information in the prior period consolidated financial statements has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Historical segment financial information has been reclassified as a result of an operational realignment plan adopted in December 2015. This reclassification did not impact any previously reported consolidated revenues, gross profit or results of operations. See Note 12-Reporting Segments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue guidance in addition to some cost guidance. ASU 2014-09 establishes a five-step model under the core principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company may apply this guidance using either a full retrospective approach, subject to certain practical expedients, or a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of initial application. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date that allows the Company to defer the effective date to January 1, 2018 but still permit the Company to adopt the standard as of the original January 1, 2017 effective date. In 2016, the FASB issued two amendments that have the same effective date as the original standard. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, but has determined that it will utilize the deferred effective date of January 1, 2018 to adopt the standard.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (ASU 2015-02). The standard changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a variable interest entity (VIE), and (c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE. The Company adopted ASU 2015-02 during the first quarter of 2016, which adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes ASC 840, Leases (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize the asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change the lessees’ recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from the previous accounting standard. Lessors’ accounting is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. In addition, ASU 2016-02 expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. Lessees and lessors will use a modified retrospective transition approach. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not determined the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) (ASU 2016-09). ASU 2016-09 makes several modifications to Topic 718 related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, although early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 during the first quarter of 2016, which adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13). ASU 2016-13 changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has not determined the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.


4.    Fair Value Disclosures

The Company maintains a non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan for highly compensated employees. The assets of the plan are held in the name of CDI at a third-party financial institution. Separate accounts are maintained for each participant to reflect the amounts deferred by the participant and all earnings and losses on those deferred amounts. The assets of the plan are held in publicly traded mutual funds. The fair value of the plan assets is calculated using the market price of the mutual funds as of the end of the period.

The following tables summarize the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level of the fair value hierarchy for the indicated periods:

The Company performs its annual assessment for impairment of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets using a measurement date of July 1 of each fiscal year. The Company performs an assessment for impairment of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset is below its carrying value.

The Company performed an interim assessment for impairment of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2015 due to a decrease in the Company's stock price and market capitalization. The Company's assessment determined that the fair values for each of the Company's reporting units were substantially in excess of their related carrying values as of December 31, 2015.

The Company performed its annual assessment as of July 1, 2015 and determined that the carrying values of the Company's Enterprise Talent - UK Staffing (AndersElite®) and Engineering Solutions - Aerospace and Industrial Equipment (formerly Global Engineering and Technology Solutions (GETS) - Aerospace and Industrial Equipment (GETS AIE)) reporting units exceeded their fair values. The Company estimated the fair values of all reporting units using a discounted cash flow model based on significant unobservable inputs or level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. The key assumption used to determine the fair values was management's estimate of future earnings. Based on the results of these estimations, the Company estimated the fair value of the assets and liabilities for the two reporting units based upon reliance, in part, on the report of a valuation specialist in order to determine the implied fair values of goodwill. The Company compared the implied fair values of goodwill to the carrying values of goodwill for the two reporting units and recorded an aggregate goodwill impairment charge of $21.0 million in the consolidated statements of operations, comprised of $10.7 million and $10.4 million in Enterprise Talent - UK Staffing (AndersElite®) and Engineering Solutions - Aerospace and Industrial Equipment (formerly GETS AIE), respectively. The Company did not identify any other reporting units with fair values that were not substantially in excess of their carrying values.

The Company believes it has made reasonable estimates and used reasonable assumptions to calculate the fair value of its reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. If actual future results are not consistent with management's estimates and assumptions, the Company may have to take additional impairment charges in the future.

6.    Restructuring and Other Related Costs

In December 2015, the Company approved a restructuring plan (the “2015 Restructuring Plan”) to better align its organization and operations with the Company's strategy. The 2015 Restructuring Plan is expected to be completed during 2016. Substantially all remaining payments are expected to be made during 2016 with certain payments related to the consolidation of facilities expected through 2022. Additional charges of approximately $0.3 million to $0.5 million are expected to be recognized during 2016 primarily related to system consolidation costs and employee severance charges.

In December 2014, the Company approved a restructuring plan (the “2014 Restructuring Plan”) to optimize its operations and facility footprint. The 2014 Restructuring Plan was substantially complete during 2015 with certain payments related to the consolidation of facilities expected through 2019 and certain employee severance expected through 2016.

7.    Acquisition and Disposition

EdgeRock Technologies, LLC Acquisition
On October 6, 2015, the Company acquired EdgeRock Technologies, LLC (EdgeRock), a provider of ERP and other specialist IT staffing, including business intelligence and data analytics, for cash consideration of $33.4 million, including a working capital adjustment that was paid in 2016, plus up to an additional $4.0 million of cash contingent on EdgeRock's operating performance for the twelve months ending October 31, 2016. EdgeRock currently comprises the Specialty Talent business within the Specialty Talent and Technology Solutions reporting segment. During the first three months of 2016, the Company recorded a benefit of $0.8 million to "Operating and administrative expenses" in the consolidated statements of operations related to the reversal of the estimated contingent earnout liability.

CDI-Pycopsa Disposition
On March 20, 2015, the Company completed the sale of its 67% interest in CDI-Pycopsa Ingeniería y Construcción, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“CDI-Pycopsa”), a Mexico-based engineering design company in the Engineering Solutions (formerly GETS) reporting segment. CDI-Pycopsa does not meet the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation under ASU 2014-08, which was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2015. Accordingly, CDI-Pycopsa's results are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations within continuing operations. Excluding the $0.3 million loss on disposition, CDI-Pycopsa's pretax results attributable to CDI were not material for the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company received $0.1 million of proceeds related to the sale.

8.    Credit Facility

On October 30, 2015, the Company and certain domestic subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “U.S. Borrowers”), certain Canadian subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the "Canadian Borrowers"), and certain UK subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the "UK Borrowers"), collectively (the "Borrowers") entered into an agreement for a secured lending facility (the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. and other lenders. The Credit Agreement established a $150.0 million revolving line of credit facility which also includes an option to expand the facility by up to $75.0 million subject to agreement by the lenders, with a five-year term ending on October 30, 2020. The facility is comprised initially of three subfacilities with $122.5 million available to the U.S. borrowers, $15.0 million available to the Canadian borrowers and $12.5 million available to the UK borrowers. It also includes a $30.0 million sublimit for swingline loans and a $20.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. 

Availability under the Credit Agreement is tied to a borrowing base, measured by 85% of eligible billed accounts receivable, plus 80% of eligible unbilled accounts receivable, less customary reserve amounts; provided however that the portion of the borrowing base consisting of 80% of eligible unbilled accounts receivable may not exceed 30% of the sum of (i) 85% of the eligible billed accounts receivable, plus (ii) 80% of the eligible unbilled accounts receivable. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used by the Company and the other Borrowers for general business purposes including capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions and investments. Accounts receivable, used in the determination of the borrowing base, are subject to lender discretion and, in certain circumstances, the lender may use cash balances in a dominion account established with the administrative agent to repay outstanding balances. As a result, amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement are presented as current in the consolidated balance sheets. 

The Borrowers’ obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first lien security interest in all of the Borrowers’ personal property (subject to customary exceptions), including, among other things, accounts receivable, equity interests, deposit accounts, intellectual property, and leased properties where books and records are kept.
 
As of June 30, 2016, the Company had total outstanding borrowings of $25.9 million, letters of credit outstanding of $3.3 million and $116.2 million available to borrow under the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2016. Interest was payable at rates ranging from 1.71% to 1.76% per annum for outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2016.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had total outstanding borrowings of $18.8 million, letters of credit outstanding of $3.3 million and $120.7 million available to borrow under the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2015.

9.    Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Although management cannot predict the timing or outcome of these matters with certainty, management does not believe that the final resolution of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

10.    Income Taxes

The Company calculates an effective income tax rate each quarter using the estimated annual effective rate method based upon forecasted annual income by jurisdiction, statutory tax rates and other tax-related items. The impact of discrete items is recognized in the interim period in which they occur. Discrete items and the mix of domestic and foreign pre-tax income and losses with no tax benefit may significantly impact the interim period income tax provision and increase the volatility of the interim period effective tax rate at low levels of pre-tax results.

A valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized based on an assessment of positive and negative evidence, including estimates of future taxable income necessary to realize future deductible amounts. In the fourth quarter of 2015 the company booked a valuation allowance against federal deferred tax assets due to cumulative losses.
The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were (13.0)% and 89.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 is a negative rate due to taxes on profits in Canada and taxes imposed in certain U.S. states, while tax benefits from losses in the United Kingdom and United States are not recognizable due to valuation allowances. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 89.8% due to a mix of the tax effects of stock based compensation, foreign losses not benefited and expenses that were not deductible for tax.

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards. Management’s assessment is made for each taxpayer on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. A full valuation allowance has been recorded against the deferred tax asset related to part of the group’s U.S. state taxes and federal taxes as these are more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased or decreased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.

12.    Reporting Segments

During December 2015, the Company adopted a plan to deliver improved performance and efficiencies through increased strategic focus and operational realignment. As a result of this realignment, certain historical segment financial information has been reclassified to conform to the current period segment presentation that became effective during the first quarter of 2016. This reclassification did not impact any previously reported consolidated revenues, gross profit or results of operations.

Inter-segment revenue is eliminated in consolidation and is not significant. For purposes of performance measurement, the Company charges certain expenses directly attributable to the reporting segments and allocates certain other expenses and support costs. Support costs consist principally of employee benefits administration, accounting support, IT services and shared service center costs. Operating and administrative expenses that are not directly attributable to the reporting segments are classified as corporate. Identifiable assets of the reporting segments exclude corporate assets. Corporate assets consist principally of all cash and cash equivalents, all current and deferred income tax assets, certain prepaid expenses, other current assets, certain property and equipment and certain other non-current assets.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q Report as well as the Note About Forward-Looking Statements.

Executive Overview
Business Overview
CDI seeks to create extraordinary outcomes with its clients by delivering solutions based on highly skilled and professional talent. CDI’s business is comprised of four segments: Enterprise Talent, Specialty Talent and Technology Solutions, Engineering Solutions and Management Recruiters International (MRI). CDI’s client offerings include an array of engineering design project solutions, information technology project solutions and managed services, specialty technology staff augmentation, and program and managed staffing services. CDI's clients are corporations in multiple industries, including energy, chemicals, infrastructure, aerospace, industrial equipment, technology, as well as municipal and state governments, and the United States (U.S.) Department of Defense. CDI has offices and delivery centers in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom (UK). In addition, CDI provides recruiting and staffing services through its global MRINetwork® of franchisees.
Enterprise Talent provides staff augmentation, placement and other staffing-related services to support its clients’ access to professional engineering and technology personnel on a temporary or permanent basis. Specialty Talent and Technology Solutions provides clients with specialized technology talent as well as solutions that include staff augmentation and placement services, project execution and management services, and outsourced managed services. Engineering Solutions provides engineering design, as well as deliverable work products or services performed at a CDI facility or at a client's facility under the supervision of CDI personnel. MRI is a global franchisor that provides the use of its trademarks, business systems and training and support services to its franchisees who engage in the search and recruitment of executive, technical, professional and managerial personnel for employment by their clients. See Note 12—Reporting Segments, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q Report for more information relating to the Company's reporting segments.
The Company's results of operations can be affected by economic conditions, capital spending by clients and business confidence. The Company is undertaking a strategic transformation and operational turnaround. As a result, the Company will make select investments and take other actions to improve business results and may experience volatility in financial performance. Historical trends may not be indicative of future trends.
Second Quarter 2016 Overview
Revenue during the second quarter of 2016 decreased by $20.1 million or 8.2% as compared to the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to decreases in Enterprise Talent and Engineering Solutions, partially offset by an increase in Specialty Talent and Technology Solutions. Enterprise Talent revenue decreased primarily due to reduced staffing at a large information technology client and, to a lesser extent, reduced UK staffing revenue, reduced Canadian pipeline staffing and the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Engineering Solutions revenue decreased primarily due to decreases in EC&I and AIE, partially offset by an increase in Government Services. Specialty Talent and Technology Solutions revenue increased primarily due to the inclusion of EdgeRock, which was acquired on October 6, 2015. Gross profit decreased by $4.6 million primarily due to the decrease in revenue and, to a lesser extent, a reduction in overall gross profit margin. Overall gross profit margin decreased due to reductions in gross profit margin in all segments, partially offset by a shift in revenue mix to higher margin Specialty Talent and Technology Solutions business as a result of the inclusion of EdgeRock. Operating and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the inclusion of EdgeRock. Excluding EdgeRock, operating and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to reduced personnel and support costs in EC&I, AIE and UK Staffing, partially offset by personnel-related investments in management and business development in North America Staffing, Government Services, Technology Solutions and MRI. The Company reported an operating loss of $6.5 million compared to an operating profit of $1.2 million and net loss attributable to CDI of $7.5 million compared to $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015, respectively.
The June 23, 2016 referendum by British voters to exit the European Union (“Brexit”) adversely impacted global markets, including currencies, and resulted in a decline in the value of the British pound as compared to the U.S. dollar. A weaker British pound compared to the U.S. dollar during a reporting period causes local currency results of the Company's UK operations to be translated into fewer U.S. dollars. The Company's UK operations, future financial performance and translation of results may be affected, in part, by the outcome of tariff, trade, regulatory, and other negotiations as the United Kingdom negotiates its exit from the European Union.

Revenue decreased primarily due to a decrease in Enterprise Talent and Engineering Solutions, partially offset by an increase in Specialty Talent and Technology Solutions. Enterprise Talent revenue decreased primarily due to reduced staffing at a large information technology client and, to a lesser extent, reduced UK Staffing revenue, reduced Canadian pipeline staffing and the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Engineering Solutions revenue decreased primarily due to decreases in EC&I and AIE, partially offset by an increase in Government Services. Specialty Talent and Technology Solutions revenue increased primarily due to the inclusion of EdgeRock, which was acquired on October 6, 2015, and, to a lesser extent, an increase in Technology Solutions. MRI revenues decreased slightly as a decrease in royalties was predominantly offset by an increase in franchise fees and contract staffing revenue.
Gross profit decreased primarily due to the decrease in revenue and, to a lesser extent, a reduction in overall gross profit margin. Overall gross profit margin decreased due to reductions in gross profit margin in all segments, partially offset by a shift in revenue mix to higher margin Specialty Talent and Technology Solutions business as a result of the acquisition of EdgeRock.
Operating results decreased primarily due to the decrease in gross profit and an increase in operating and administrative expenses, partially offset by reduced corporate operating costs. Operating and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the inclusion of EdgeRock. Excluding EdgeRock, operating and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to reduced personnel and support costs in EC&I, AIE and UK Staffing, partially offset by personnel-related investments in management and business development in North America Staffing, Government Services, Technology Solutions and MRI. Corporate operating costs decreased primarily due to reduction in costs associated with international business development activities and stock compensation expense.
Income tax expense decreased $0.7 million during the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015. The effective income tax rates for both periods were impacted by discrete items, the mix of domestic and foreign pre-tax income and certain foreign losses with no tax benefit; in aggregate, these factors had a significant impact on the effective income tax rates due to the marginal levels of pre-tax results for both periods. As such, comparison of effective tax rates for the second quarter of 2016 as compared to the second quarter of 2015 is not meaningful. See Note 10—Income taxes, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q Report for more information.

Revenue decreased in both the North America and UK Staffing businesses. North America Staffing revenue decreased primarily due to reduced staffing at a large information technology client, reduced Canadian pipeline staffing and the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by growth at a large engineering client. Canadian pipeline staffing continues to be negatively affected by the impact of the decline in oil and gas prices on clients' maintenance and capital projects. UK Staffing revenue decreased due to reductions across engineering and construction sectors, in part associated with the uncertainty around the Brexit referendum and the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by an acquisition of a small construction recruitment business in October 2015.

Gross profit decreased primarily due to the decrease in revenue and, to a lesser extent, a reduction in gross profit margin. Gross profit margin decreased primarily due to a shift in geographic and service mix and negative pricing pressure.

Operating and administrative expenses increased primarily due to an increase in personnel-related investments and in bad debt expense in the North America Staffing business, partially offset by reduced facilities expenses in North America Staffing and reduction in personnel and other expenses in UK Staffing as actions were taken to align expenses to lower revenue.

Operating profit decreased primarily due to a reduction in gross profit and, to a lesser extent, the increase in operating and administrative expenses.

The second quarter of 2016 includes $0.6 million of amortization of intangible assets identified as part of acquisition accounting for EdgeRock.
NM - Not meaningful.

Revenue increased primarily due to the acquisition of EdgeRock on October 6, 2015, which currently comprises the entirety of Specialty Talent, and, to a lesser extent, an increase in Technology Solutions. Technology Solutions revenue increased primarily due to increased spending by certain existing clients, including the ramp up of new projects and expanded services, partially offset by the impact of other client program reductions as part of their overall cost savings initiatives.

Gross profit increased primarily due to the inclusion of EdgeRock, partially offset by a reduction in gross profit margin. Gross profit margin decreased due to the inclusion of EdgeRock and a combination of a shift in service mix and negative pricing pressure in Technology Solutions.

Operating and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the inclusion of EdgeRock and, to a lesser extent, personnel-related investments in business development in Technology Solutions.
Operating profit decreased due to the increase in operating and administrative expenses partially offset by the increase in gross profit.

Revenue decreased in EC&I and AIE, partially offset by an increase in Government Services. The decrease in EC&I is primarily due to reduced demand for engineering services by downstream and midstream clients, which has been negatively impacted by the decline in oil and gas prices. The decrease in AIE revenue is primarily due to reduced spending by a large commercial aviation client. The increase in Government Services is primarily due to new naval defense contracts, partially offset by the impact of delays in the release of task or other work orders for certain funded contract extensions.

Gross profit decreased primarily due to a reduction in revenue and, to a lesser extent, a reduction in gross profit margin. Gross profit margin decreased primarily due to a reduction in AIE margins associated with the wind down of the Company's data acquisition and analysis business during 2015 and the effect of an increase in pass-through materials revenue in Government Services.

Operating and administrative expenses decreased due to decreased EC&I and AIE operating costs partially offset by increased Government Services operating costs. The decrease in EC&I and AIE operating costs are primarily due to reduced personnel and support costs and reduced costs associated with lower business volumes, partially offset by an increase in reserves for project-related disputes. Government Services operating costs increased primarily due to increased personnel-related investments in business development and in facility costs.

Operating results decreased primarily due to a reduction in gross profit, partially offset by the decrease in operating and administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and borrowings under credit facilities. The Company's principal uses of cash are operating expenses, capital expenditures, working capital requirements and debt service. Management expects that the Company's current cash balances, cash generated from operations and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to support the Company's working capital requirements and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.

On October 30, 2015, the Company and several of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into a secured lending facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. and other lenders. The Credit Agreement established a $150.0 million revolving line of credit facility which also includes an option to expand the facility by up to $75.0 million subject to agreement by the lenders, with a five-year term ending on October 30, 2020. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used by the Borrowers for general business purposes including capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions and investments. See Note 8Credit Facility, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q Report for more information relating to the Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had total outstanding borrowings of $25.9 million and letters of credit outstanding of $3.3 million under the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.7 million and $116.2 million is available to borrow under the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2016.

As of June 30, 2016, approximately 95% of the Company's cash and cash equivalents were held by certain non-U.S. subsidiaries, principally Canadian and to a lesser extent UK entities, and denominated in foreign currencies, principally Canadian dollars and British pounds sterling. The repatriation of cash and cash equivalent balances from non-U.S. subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences; however, such cash and cash equivalent balances are generally available, without legal restrictions, to fund ordinary business operations at the local level. Deferred income taxes have not been provided on the unremitted earnings of such non-U.S. subsidiaries because it is management's intention to reinvest such earnings in non-U.S. subsidiaries for the foreseeable future.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $16.9 million on December 31, 2015 to $4.7 million on June 30, 2016.

On January 25, 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program (the "Stock Repurchase Program"). Under the Stock Repurchase Program, CDI is authorized to repurchase up to $20 million of its common stock from time to time and at prices considered appropriate by the Company. Repurchases have been and may be made via privately negotiated transactions, open market purchases, block trades or by other means at management's discretion in compliance with applicable securities laws. The timing of repurchases and number of shares of common stock to be purchased will depend upon market conditions and other factors. The Company is not required to repurchase any specific number of shares and the Stock Repurchase Program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Through June 30, 2016, the Company repurchased 929,396 shares for $5.6 million in cash under the Stock Repurchase Program. As of June 30, 2016, approximately $14.4 million remained authorized for repurchase of shares. Through August 1, 2016, the Company repurchased a total of 1,190,356 shares for $7.3 million in cash under the Stock Repurchase Program.

The following table summarizes the net cash flows, by category, from the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows for the indicated periods:

Operating Activities
For the first six months of 2016, net cash used in operating activities was $7.7 million, an increase in net cash used in operating activities of $20.0 million as compared to 2015. The increase in net cash used by operations is primarily due to increased working capital requirements and lower net income, partially offset by non-cash items. Working capital requirements were impacted by the timing of receipts and payments that include higher payroll-related payments due to the timing of pay cycles and an increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by the increase in accounts payable.

(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated)

Investing Activities
For the first six months of 2016, the Company used $6.5 million net cash in investing activities, which is a $2.1 million increase from the comparable period in 2015. The increase in the use of cash is due to the working capital payment of $2.1 million related to the EdgeRock Technologies, LLC acquisition.

Financing Activities
For the first six months of 2016, net cash provided by financing activities was $1.7 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $3.6 million during the comparable period in 2015. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to an increase in net borrowings under the Company's credit facility and the elimination of the Company's dividend, and is partially offset by stock repurchased under the Stock Repurchase Program.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts disclosed in this Form 10-Q Report. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Certain accounting policies, methods and estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the consolidated financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ from current judgments.
The critical accounting estimates and assumptions identified in the Company's 2015 annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 3, 2016 with the Securities and Exchange Commission have not materially changed.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk, primarily related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company monitors this risk to limit the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates on earnings and cash flows.

Foreign Currency Risk
The Company's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk relates primarily to its operations denominated in Canadian dollars and British pounds sterling. Exchange rate fluctuations impact the U.S. dollar value of reported earnings derived from these foreign operations as well as the Company's investment in the net assets related to these operations. The Brexit referendum resulted in a decline in the value of the British pound, as compared to the U.S. dollar. The Company's UK operations, future financial performance and translation of results may be affected, in part, by the outcome of tariff, trade, regulatory, and other negotiations as the UK negotiates its exit from the European Union. The Company utilizes short term foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce its exposure to certain foreign currency denominated intercompany loans.
 
Interest Rate Risk
The interest rate risk associated with the Company's borrowing activities as of June 30, 2016 was not material in relation to its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. While it may do so in the future, the Company has not used derivative financial instruments to alter the interest rate characteristics of its debt instruments. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had total outstanding borrowings of $25.9 million with interest payable at rates during the period ranging from 1.71% to 1.76% per annum.
