PRGX GLOBAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note A – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) of PRGX Global, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.
Except as otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, “PRGX,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to PRGX Global, Inc. and its subsidiaries. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
New Accounting Standards
A summary of the new accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and included in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) that apply to PRGX is set forth below:

FASB ASC Update No. 2017-04 - In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The standard removes the second step of the two step test used to determine an impairment of goodwill. Under the new standard, an entity only compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying amount, including goodwill, and records the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The standard will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.
FASB ASC Update No. 2016-02 - In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The standard requires lessors to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. A sales-type lease occurs if the lessor transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as a financing lease. If the lessor does not convey risks and rewards or control, an operating lease results. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on recognizing revenue from contracts with customers.  The standards update outlines a single comprehensive model for an entity to utilize to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that will be received in exchange for the goods and services.  Additional disclosures will also be required to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In 2016, the FASB issued accounting standards updates to address implementation issues and to clarify the guidance for identifying performance obligations, licenses and determining if a company is the principal or agent in a revenue arrangement. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this standards update to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted on the original effective date of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016.  We have substantially completed our evaluation of significant contracts and are currently assessing the impact of adopting the standards update on our consolidated financial statements. We will continue our evaluation of the standards update through the date of adoption.

For all periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per share is the same, as any additional common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive. We excluded 3.2 million of stock options from the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which would have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss in those periods. In addition, we excluded 2.0 million and 1.8 million of restricted stock units from the calculation of weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which would have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss.
We repurchased no shares of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we repurchased 663,541 shares of our common stock for $2.6 million.
Pursuant to exercises of outstanding stock options, we issued 84,467 shares of our common stock having a value of approximately $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 46,896 shares of our common stock having a value of less than $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Note C – Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has one stock-based compensation plan under which awards were outstanding in the relevant periods: The 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (“2008 EIP”). We describe the 2008 EIP in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. For all periods presented herein, awards outside the 2008 EIP are referred to as inducement awards.

(1) During the three months ended March 31, 2017, 100,000 shares were granted to employees as inducements for employment and 43,750 shares were granted to a new member of the Board of Directors. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted was $3.31 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Nonvested stock awards, including both restricted stock and restricted stock units, granted under the 2008 EIP generally are nontransferable until vesting and the holders are entitled to receive dividends with respect to the nonvested shares. Prior to vesting, the grantees of restricted stock are entitled to vote the shares, but the grantees of restricted stock units are not entitled to vote the shares. Generally, nonvested stock awards with time-based vesting criteria vest in equal annual increments over the vesting period, which typically is three years for employees and one year for directors. Nonvested stock awards with performance based vesting criteria vest in accordance with specific performance criteria associated with the awards. The following table summarizes nonvested stock activity during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

PRGX GLOBAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)


On March 30, 2017, six executive officers and six other senior leaders of the Company were granted 274,800 performance-based restricted stock units ("PBUs") under the 2008 EIP. Upon vesting, the PBUs will be settled by the issuance of Company common stock equal to 100% of the number of PBUs being settled. The PBUs vest and become payable based on revenue and the cumulative adjusted EBITDA that the Company (excluding the Healthcare Claims Recovery Audit business) achieves for the two-year performance period ending December 31, 2018. At the threshold performance level, 35%of the PBUs will become vested and payable and at the target performance level, 100% of the PBUs will become vested and payable. If performance falls between the stated performance levels, the percentage of PBUs that will become vested and payable will be based on straight line interpolation between such stated performance levels (although the PBUs may not become vested and payable for more than 100% of the PBUs and no PBUs shall become vested and payable if performance does not equal or exceed the threshold performance level).
    
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the PBUs granted in 2016 and 2017 were expensed at the target performance level based on management's estimates. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the PBUs that were granted on March 31, 2016 were expensed at the target performance level based on management's estimates.
    
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 include $1.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, related to stock-based compensation charges. At March 31, 2017, there was $6.7 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years. The unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock unit awards with performance vesting criteria is based on our estimate of both the number of shares of the Company's common stock that will ultimately be issued and cash payments that will be made when the restricted stock units are settled.
Note D – Operating Segments and Related Information
We conduct our operations through the following three reportable segments:
Recovery Audit Services – Americas represents recovery audit services (other than Healthcare Claims Recovery Audit services) provided in the United States of America (“U.S.”), Canada and Latin America.
Recovery Audit Services – Europe/Asia-Pacific represents recovery audit services (other than Healthcare Claims Recovery Audit services) provided in Europe, Asia and the Pacific region.
Adjacent Services represents data transformation, spend analytics, PRGX OPTIXTM, SIM services and associated advisory services.
Additionally, Corporate Support includes the unallocated portion of corporate selling, general and administrative expenses not specifically attributable to the three reportable segments.

During the fourth quarter of 2015, PRGX entered into agreements with third parties to fulfill its Medicare recovery audit contractor ("RAC") program subcontract obligations to audit Medicare payments and provide support for claims appeals and assigned its remaining Medicaid contract to another party. The Company will continue to incur certain expenses while the current Medicare RAC contracts are still in effect. As a result, the Healthcare Claims Recovery Audit services business has been reported as Discontinued Operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Discontinued operations information for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

We evaluate the performance of our reportable segments based upon revenue and measures of profit or loss we refer to as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings from continuing operations before interest and taxes (“EBIT”), adjusted for depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), and then further adjusted for unusual and other significant items that management views as distorting the operating results of the various segments from period to period. Such adjustments include restructuring charges, stock-based compensation, bargain purchase gains, acquisition-related charges and benefits (acquisition transaction costs, acquisition obligations classified as compensation, and fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration), tangible and intangible asset impairment charges, certain litigation costs and litigation settlements, certain severance charges and foreign currency transaction gains and losses on short-term intercompany balances viewed by management as individually or collectively significant. We do not have any inter-segment revenue.

PRGX GLOBAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Note E – Debt
On January 19, 2010, we entered into a four-year revolving credit and term loan agreement with SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”). The SunTrust credit facility initially consisted of a $15.0 million committed revolving credit facility and a $15.0 million term loan. The SunTrust term loan required quarterly principal payments of $0.8 million beginning in March 2010, and a final principal payment of $3.0 million due in January 2014 that we paid in December 2013. The SunTrust credit facility is guaranteed by the Company and all of its material domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.
Prior to the January 2014 amendment to the SunTrust credit facility described below, amounts available under the SunTrust revolver were based on eligible accounts receivable and other factors. Interest on both the revolver and term loan was payable monthly and accrued at an index rate using the one-month LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin as determined by the loan agreement. The applicable interest rate margin varied from 2.25% per annum to 3.5% per annum, dependent on our consolidated leverage ratio, and was determined in accordance with a pricing grid under the SunTrust loan agreement. We also paid a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum, payable quarterly, on the unused portion of the $15.0 million SunTrust revolving credit facility.
On January 17, 2014, we entered into an amendment of the SunTrust credit facility that increased the committed revolving credit facility from $15.0 million to $25.0 million, lowered the applicable margin to a fixed rate of 1.75%, eliminated the provision limiting availability under the revolving credit facility based on eligible accounts receivable and extended the scheduled maturity of the revolving credit facility to January 16, 2015 (subject to earlier termination as provided therein). We also paid a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum, payable quarterly, on the unused portion of the SunTrust revolving credit facility through the next amendment date.
On December 23, 2014, we entered into an amendment of the SunTrust credit facility that reduced the committed revolving credit facility from $25.0 million to $20.0 million. The credit facility bears interest at a rate per annum comprised of a specified index rate based on one-month LIBOR, plus an applicable margin (which was set at 1.75% per annum pursuant to this amendment). The index rate is determined as of the first business day of each calendar month with the provision of a fixed applicable margin of 1.75% per the amendment of the SunTrust credit facility. The credit facility included two financial covenants (a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio) that would apply only if we had borrowings under the credit facility that arose or remained outstanding during the final 30 calendar days of any fiscal quarter. These financial covenants also will be tested, on a modified pro forma basis, in connection with each new borrowing under the credit facility. This amendment also extended the scheduled maturity of the revolving credit facility to December 23, 2017 and lowered the commitment fee to 0.25% per annum, payable quarterly, on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The weighted-average interest rate for the commitment fee due on the revolving credit facility was 0.25% in 2016 and 2015.

On December 21, 2016, we entered into an amendment of the SunTrust credit facility in order to clarify certain definitions and other terms of the facility.

On October 31, 2016, the Company borrowed $3.6 million from its credit facility to finance the acquisition of Lavante, Inc. On February 27, 2017 the Company borrowed $10.0 million from its credit facility to finance the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Cost & Compliance Associates, LLC and Cost & Compliance Associates Limited. Total borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2017 were $13.6 million.
As of March 31, 2017, the amount available for borrowing under the SunTrust credit facility was $20.0 million. With the credit facility provision of a fixed applicable margin of 1.75% plus a specified index rate based on one-month LIBOR, the interest rate that applied at March 31, 2017 was approximately 2.53%. As of March 31, 2017 we were required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum, payable quarterly, on the unused portion of the revolving SunTrust credit facility.
The credit facility includes customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants binding on the Company, including delivery of financial statements and other reports, maintenance of existence, and transactions with affiliates. The negative covenants limit the ability of the Company, among other things, to incur debt, incur liens, make investments, sell assets or declare or pay dividends on its capital stock. The financial covenants included in the credit facility, among other things, limit the amount of capital expenditures the Company can make, set forth maximum leverage and net funded debt ratios for the Company and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and also require the Company to maintain minimum consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In addition, the credit facility includes customary events of default. The Company was in compliance with the covenants in the SunTrust credit facility as of March 31, 2017.
As of March 31, 2017, there was $13.6 million in debt that would have come due December 31, 2017.

PRGX GLOBAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

On May 4, 2017, we entered into an amendment of the SunTrust credit facility, that, among other things, (i) increased the aggregate principal amount of the committed revolving credit facility from $20.0 million to $35.0 million through December 31, 2018, which amount will be reduced to $30.0 million thereafter, (ii) extended the maturity date of the credit facility to December 31, 2019, (iii) added customary provisions to reflect European Union “bail-in” directive compliance language, and (iv) modified the financial covenants applicable to the Company during the remaining term of the credit facility by (A) revising the maximum leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and (B) adding an additional financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum amount of consolidated adjusted EBITDA. In addition, the applicable margin used to determine the interest rate per annum on outstanding borrowings under the credit facility, and the ongoing commitment fee payable on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility commitment, both of which previously had been fixed percentages per annum, have been amended and both now will vary based upon our quarterly leverage ratio calculation under the SunTrust credit facility.
Note F – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We state cash equivalents at cost, which approximates fair market value. The carrying values for receivables from clients, unbilled receivables, accounts payable, deferred revenue and other accrued liabilities reasonably approximate fair market value due to the nature of the financial instrument and the short term maturity of these items.
We record bank debt, if any, as of the period end date based on the effective borrowing rate and repayment terms when originated. As of March 31, 2017, we had $13.6 million in bank debt outstanding, and we had no bank debt outstanding as of March 31, 2016. We believe the carrying value of the bank debt approximates its fair value. We considered the factors used in determining the fair value of this debt to be Level 3 inputs (significant unobservable inputs).
We had $4.0 million of business acquisition obligations as of March 31, 2017, and no such obligations as of March 31, 2016. Our business acquisition obligations represent the fair value of deferred consideration and earn-out payments estimated to be due as of the date for which we recorded these amounts. We determine the preliminary estimated fair values of business acquisition obligations based on our projections of future revenue and profits or other factors used in the calculation of the ultimate payment(s) to be made. The discount rate that we use to value the liability is based on specific business risk, cost of capital, and other factors. We consider these factors to be Level 3 inputs (significant unobservable inputs).
We state certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Generally, these assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges.
Note G – Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
We are party to a variety of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. While the results of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

PRGX GLOBAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Note H – Income Taxes
Reported income tax expense in each period primarily results from taxes on the income of foreign subsidiaries. The effective tax rates generally differ from the expected tax rate due primarily to the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance on the domestic earnings and taxes on income of foreign subsidiaries.
Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. In addition, we are subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service in the U.S. and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes.
We apply a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We refer to GAAP for guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. In accordance with FASB ASC 740, our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with tax positions is to record such items as a component of income before income taxes. A number of years may elapse before a particular tax position is audited and finally resolved or when a tax assessment is raised. The number of years subject to tax assessments also varies by tax jurisdiction.

Note I - Business Acquisitions

Cost & Compliance Associates

In February 2017, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Cost & Compliance Associates, LLC and Cost & Compliance Associates Limited (collectively “C&CA”). C&CA is a commercial recovery audit and contract compliance firm with operations in the U.S. and the UK. At the closing of the transaction, we paid $10.0 million in cash, which amount is subject to a customary working capital adjustment. In addition, we may be required to pay earnout consideration in cash over a period of two years, based on the performance of the acquired businesses and our contract compliance business following closing. The aggregate consideration we may be required to pay in connection with this acquisition cannot exceed $18.0 million.

We have recorded C&CA’s assets acquired based on our preliminary estimates of their fair values at the acquisition date. The estimated fair value of C&CA assets acquired and resulting goodwill are subject to adjustment as we finalize our fair value analysis. We expect to complete our fair value determinations no later than the fourth quarter of 2017. There may be differences compared to those amounts reflected in our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2017 as we finalize our fair value analysis and such changes could be material.

Based on our preliminary estimates, the purchase price exceeded the aggregate estimated fair value of the acquired assets at the acquisition date by $8.4 million, which amount has been allocated and recognized as goodwill within our Recovery Audit Services - Americas business segment. None of the goodwill associated with the acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes and, as such, no deferred taxes have been recorded related to goodwill.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is presented below:

We are still reviewing the valuation of the C&CA acquisition, in particular the value of any potential earnout due to C&CA, the value and useful lives of any long-lived assets acquired from C&CA and any potential deferred tax assets or liabilities associated with the valuation.

The revenue and earnings from continuing operations of C&CA from the acquisition date through March 31, 2017 are presented below and included in our consolidated statements of operations. These amounts are not necessarily indicative of the

Lavante
In October 2016, we acquired Lavante, Inc. ("Lavante"), a SaaS-based supplier of SIM and recovery audit services firm, for a net purchase price of $3.8 million. Lavante’s assets consist primarily of its proprietary software applications.
We have recorded Lavante's assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on our preliminary estimates of their fair values at the acquisition date. The determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (and the related determination of estimated lives of depreciable and amortizable tangible and identifiable intangible assets) requires significant judgment and estimates. The estimates and assumptions used include the projected timing and amount of future cash flows and discount rates reflecting risk inherent in the future cash flows. The estimated fair values of Lavante's assets acquired and liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill are subject to adjustment as we finalize our fair value analysis. We expect to complete our fair value determinations no later than the fourth quarter of 2017. We do not currently expect our fair value determinations to change materially; however, there may be differences compared to those amounts reflected in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 as we finalize our fair value analysis and such changes could be material.
Based on our preliminary estimates, the purchase price exceeded the aggregate estimated fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at the acquisition date by $2.3 million, which amount has been allocated and recognized as goodwill within our Adjacent Service business segment. None of the goodwill associated with the acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes and, as such, no deferred taxes have been recorded related to goodwill.

In general, intangible assets include trade names, trademarks, copyrights, patents, customer contacts and/or relationships, developed technology (computer software), technological know-how, and brand names. When estimating the value of such assets, we consider the future income stream associated with the specific asset, taking into account the asset's estimated remaining life, average annual anticipated rate of return, and market rates of return. Often, an income approach such as a multi-period excess earnings model or distributor model will be used.
We may also consider the market price of comparable assets recently sold or the asking prices for similar assets currently for sale. This methodology involves researching the industry to determine if comparable companies pay or receive royalties for rights associated with the use of the asset. The royalty rates charged or received are then used as valuation benchmarks. The relief from royalty method is often used in the valuation of assets involving fair royalty rates (e.g., trademarks, patents, etc.).
The cost approach analyzes the current cost to re-create or duplicate an asset minus the decrease in value due to the passage of time or obsolescence. For example, when valuing a trademark (when it is not the primary asset acquired), we calculate the costs that would have been incurred over the years in establishing consumer recognition and perception of quality, service and reliability. We also consider the legal costs incurred in registering the asset.
As required by ASC 805, the following unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 give effect to the Lavante acquisition as if it had been completed on January 1, 2016.

Note J – Subsequent Events
On May 4, 2017, we entered into an amendment of the SunTrust credit facility, that, among other things, (i) increased the aggregate principal amount of the committed revolving credit facility from $20.0 million to $35.0 million through December 31, 2018, which amount will be reduced to $30.0 million thereafter, (ii) extended the maturity date of the credit facility to December 31, 2019, (iii) added customary provisions to reflect European Union “bail-in” directive compliance language, and (iv) modified the financial covenants applicable to the Company during the remaining term of the credit facility by (A) revising the maximum leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and (B) adding an additional financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum amount of consolidated adjusted EBITDA.
In addition, the applicable margin used to determine the interest rate per annum on outstanding borrowings under the credit facility, and the ongoing commitment fee payable on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility commitment, both of which previously had been fixed percentages per annum, have been amended and both now will vary based upon our quarterly leverage ratio calculation under the SunTrust credit facility. The applicable margin per annum on interest accruing on all borrowings under the credit facility outstanding on or after May 4, 2017, and the applicable percentage per annum commitment fee accruing on and after that date, respectively will be determined as follows:

Pricing Level
Leverage Ratio
Applicable Margin for LIBOR Index Rate Loans
Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans
Applicable Percentage for Commitment Fee
I
Less than 1.25:1.00

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
PRGX Global, Inc. is a global leader in recovery audit and spend analytics services, providing services to support and enhance our clients' Source-to-Pay ("S2P") business processes. At the heart of our client services portfolio is the core capability of mining client data to deliver "actionable insights." Actionable insights allow our clients to improve their financial performance by reducing costs, improving business processes, managing risks and increasing profitability.
Our services include recovery audit, spend advisory, spend analytics and supplier information management ("SIM") services. We serve clients in more than 30 countries and conduct our operations through three reportable segments: Recovery Audit Services - Americas, Recovery Audit Services - Europe/Asia-Pacific and Adjacent Services. The Recovery Audit Services - Americas segment represents recovery audit services we provide in the U.S., Canada and Latin America. The Recovery Audit Services - Europe/Asia-Pacific segment represents recovery audit services we provide in Europe, Asia and the Pacific region. The Adjacent Services segment includes spend analytics and advisory services, SIM services, and our PRGX OPTIXTM suite of analytics tools. We include the unallocated portion of corporate selling, general and administrative expenses not specifically attributable to the three reportable segments in Corporate Support.
Recovery auditing is a business service focused on finding overpayments created by errors in payment transactions, such as missed or inaccurate discounts, allowances and rebates, vendor pricing errors, erroneous coding and duplicate payments. Recovery audit services are part of the broader S2P services market space, focused on the payment side of the S2P market.
Generally, we earn our recovery audit revenue on a contingent fee basis by identifying overpayments made by our clients, assisting our clients in recovering the overpayments from their vendors, and collecting a specified percentage of the recoveries from our clients as our fee. The fee percentage we earn is based on specific contracts with our clients that generally also specify: (a) time periods covered by the audit; (b) the nature and extent of services we are to provide; and (c) the client’s responsibilities to assist and cooperate with us. Clients generally recover claims by either taking credits against outstanding payables or future purchases from the relevant vendors, or receiving refund checks directly from those vendors. The manner in which a claim is recovered by a client is often dictated by industry practice. In addition, many clients establish client-specific procedural guidelines that we must satisfy prior to submitting claims for client approval. Our recovery audit business also includes contract compliance services which focus on auditing complex supplier billings against large services, construction and licensing contracts, and is relevant to a large portion of our client base. Such services include verification of the accuracy of third party reporting, appropriateness of allocations and other charges in cost or revenue sharing types of arrangements, adherence to contract covenants and other risk mitigation requirements and numerous other reviews and procedures to assist our clients with proper monitoring and enforcement of the obligations of their contractors. Services in our Adjacent Services segment can be project-based (advisory services), which are typically billed on a rates and hours basis, or subscription-based (software-as-a-service or "SaaS" offerings), which are billed on a monthly basis.
We earn the vast majority of our recovery audit revenue from clients in the retail industry due to many factors, including the high volume of transactions and the complicated pricing and allowance programs typical in this industry. Changes in consumer spending associated with economic fluctuations generally impact our recovery audit revenue to a lesser degree than they affect individual retailers due to several factors, including:

Diverse client base - our clients include a diverse mix of discounters, grocery, online, pharmacy, department and other stores that tend to be impacted to varying degrees by general economic fluctuations, and even in opposite directions from each other depending on their position in the market and their market segment;
Motivation - when our clients experience a downturn, they frequently are more motivated to use our services to recover prior overpayments to make up for relatively weaker financial performance in their own business operations;
Nature of claims - the relationship between the dollar amount of recovery audit claims identified and client purchases is non-linear. Claim volumes are generally impacted by purchase volumes, but a number of other factors may have an even more significant impact on claim volumes, including new items being purchased, changes in discount, rebate, marketing allowance and similar programs offered by vendors and changes in a client’s or a vendor’s information systems; and
Timing - the client purchase data on which we perform our recovery audit services is historical data that typically reflects transactions between our clients and their vendors that took place 3 to 15 months prior to the data being provided to us for audit. As a result, we generally experience a delayed impact from economic changes that varies by client and the impact may be positive or negative depending on the individual clients’ circumstances.

We have processes in place to mitigate the financial impact arising from fluctuations in our businesses. These processes include reviewing and monitoring financial and operational results through our internal reporting, devoting substantial efforts to develop an improved service delivery model to enable us to more cost effectively serve our clients, and maintaining the flexibility to control the compensation-related portions of our cost structure.

While the net impact of the economic environment on our recovery audit revenue is difficult to determine or predict, we believe that for the foreseeable future, our revenue will remain at a level that will allow us to continue investing in our growth strategy. Included in our growth strategy are our investments in innovation through our audit strategy team, developing and enhancing our technology platforms and improved operational processes within our recovery audit business. In addition, we continue to pursue the expansion of our business beyond retail recovery audit services by growing the portion of our business that provides recovery audit services to enterprises other than retailers, which we refer to as our commercial business; growing our contract compliance service offerings; expanding into new industry verticals, such as telecommunications, pharmaceuticals and resources; and growing our Adjacent Services which includes our global PRGX OPTIXTM analytics solutions and our SIM services offering. We believe that our recovery audit business uniquely positions us to create value for clients and gives us a competitive advantage over other players in the broader S2P market for four fundamental reasons:

We already have the clients' spend data - we serve a large and impressive list of very large, multinational companies in our core recovery audit business, which requires access to and processing of these clients' detailed S2P data on a daily, weekly or at least periodic basis;
We know the clients' spend data and underlying processes - the work we do in recovery audit requires that we fully understand our clients’ systems, buying practices, receiving and payment procedures, as well as their suppliers’ contracting, performance and billing practices;
We take a different perspective in analyzing the clients' spend data - we look "horizontally" across our clients' processes and organizational structures versus "vertically", which is how most companies are organized and enterprise resource planning systems are designed; and
Our contingent fee recovery audit value proposition minimizes our clients' cost of entry and truly aligns us with our clients.

As our clients’ data volumes and complexity levels continue to grow, we are using our deep data management experience to develop new actionable insight solutions, as well as to develop custom analytics and data transformation services. Taken together, our in-depth understanding of our clients’ S2P data and our technology-based solutions provide multiple routes to help our clients achieve greater profitability. Our Adjacent Services business targets client functional and process areas where we have established expertise, enabling us to provide services to finance, merchandising and procurement executives to improve working capital, optimize purchasing leverage in vendor pricing negotiations, improve insight into product margin and true cost of goods for resale, identify and manage risks associated with vendor compliance, improve quality of vendor master data and improve visibility and diagnostics of direct and indirect spend.

In an effort to accelerate our growth and expand our technology offerings within Adjacent Services, during the fourth quarter of 2016, we acquired Lavante, Inc. ("Lavante"), a SaaS-based SIM and recovery audit services firm based in San Jose, California.
In the first quarter of 2017 we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Cost & Compliance Associates, LLC and Cost & Compliance Associates Limited (collectively, "C&CA"), a commercial recovery audit and contract compliance firm with operations in the U.S. and the UK. The C&CA acquisition is immediately accretive to PRGX’s profitability, significantly increases our market share within the commercial industry and brings a rich set of global clients and a skilled and experienced workforce.
On February 27, 2017, we launched our PRGX OPTIX™ suite of analytics tools globally. The PRGX OPTIXTM suite facilitates S2P business decisions through actionable, data-enabled insights that are delivered through four primary modules - Product, Payment, Spend and Supplier. Each of these modules is powered by the core PRGX OPTIXTM platform that provides the ability to process and visualize S2P data delivered via a SaaS interface.
Discontinued Operations
As of December 31, 2015, the Company discontinued its Healthcare Claims Recovery Audit business. PRGX entered into agreements with third parties to fulfill its Medicare RAC program subcontract obligations to audit Medicare payments and provide support for claims appeals and assigned its remaining Medicaid contract to another party. The Company will continue to incur certain expenses while the current Medicare RAC contracts are still in effect. The discussions and financial results in this Report have been adjusted to reflect the discontinued business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are all “non-GAAP financial measures” presented as supplemental measures of the Company’s performance. They are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The Company believes these measures provide additional meaningful information in evaluating its performance over time, and that the rating agencies and a number of lenders use EBITDA and similar measures for similar purposes. In addition, a measure similar to Adjusted EBITDA is used in the restrictive covenants contained in the Company’s secured credit facility. However, EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. In addition, in evaluating EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that, as described above, the adjustments may vary from period to period and in the future the Company will incur expenses such as those used in calculating these measures. The Company’s presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. We include a reconciliation of net loss to each of EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and a calculation of Adjusted EBITDA by segment below in “Adjusted EBITDA”.

Total revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2017 by $2.3 million, or 7.5%, compared to the same period in 2016. On a constant dollar basis adjusted for changes in foreign currency exchange rates, consolidated revenue from continuing operations for the first quarter 2017 increased 9.3% compared to the same quarter in 2016. The first quarter of2017 amounts include revenue from the C&CA and Lavante acquired businesses which were not in the prior year amounts. Excluding revenue from C&CA and Lavante our revenue from continuing operations increased 3.0% on a constant dollar basis.
Below is a discussion of our revenue for our three reportable segments.
Recovery Audit Services – Americas revenue, including revenue from the C&CA and Lavante acquired business increased by $2.8 million, or 13.1%, for the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Excluding revenue from these acquisitions, revenue for this segment grew 6.9% on a year over year constant dollar basis. Revenue at our existing clients in the three months ending March 31, 2017 increased 4.9% compared to the same period in 2016. Revenue from new clients increased 8.2% compared to the same quarter in 2016, which was primarily due to the clients acquired as part of the C&CA and Lavante acquisitions.
Recovery Audit Services – Europe/Asia-Pacific revenue decreased by $1.4 million, or 15.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease was primarily attributable to the impact of certain client pricing arrangements in our Asia-Pacific region . On a constant dollar basis adjusted for changes in foreign exchange rates, first quarter 2017 revenue for this segment decreased by approximately 10% compared to the same quarter in the prior year. First quarter 2017 revenue from our European retail business was essentially flat compared to the prior year on a constant dollar basis as we continue to transform that business. First quarter 2017 revenue from existing clients declined 24.5%, which was partially offset by an increase in revenue from new clients of 9.1%.
Adjacent Services revenue increased by $0.9 million, or 224.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. This increase includes first quarter 2017 revenue from the Lavante SIM business. Excluding the first quarter 2017 Lavante SIM revenue, our Adjacent Services revenue increased by 189% on a constant dollar basis compared to the same period of the prior year.
Cost of Revenue (“COR”). COR consists principally of commissions and other forms of variable compensation we pay to our auditors based primarily on the level of overpayment recoveries and/or profit margins derived therefrom, fixed auditor salaries, compensation paid to various types of hourly support staff and salaries for operational and client service managers for our recovery audit services and our Adjacent Services businesses. COR also includes other direct and indirect costs incurred by these personnel, including office rent, travel and entertainment, telephone, utilities, maintenance and supplies and clerical assistance. A significant portion of the components comprising COR is variable and will increase or decrease with increases or decreases in revenue.

COR as a percentage of revenue for Recovery Audit Services – Americas was 62.7% and 66.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The improvement in COR as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 is due mainly to the increase in revenue and continued operational process improvements partially, offset by the cost of audit management and staff that were not in place in the prior year.
COR for Recovery Audit Services – Europe/Asia-Pacific was 79.0% and 66.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase is due mainly to the reduced revenue and the cost of audit management and staff that were not in place in the prior year, partially offset by operational process improvements that were implemented.
COR as a percentage of revenue for Recovery Audit Services – Europe/Asia-Pacific is generally higher than COR as a percentage of revenue for Recovery Audit Services – Americas primarily due to differences in service delivery models, scale and geographic fragmentation. The Recovery Audit Services – Europe/Asia-Pacific segment generally serves fewer clients in

20


each geographic market and on average generates lower revenue per client than those served by the Company’s Recovery Audit Services – Americas segment.
Adjacent Services COR relates primarily to our continued investments in service delivery, which consist mainly of fixed personnel costs. Due primarily to the increased Adjacent Services revenue, COR as a percentage of revenue improved to 115.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from 290.2% for the same period in the prior year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”). SG&A expenses for all segments other than Corporate Support include the expenses of sales and marketing activities, information technology services and allocated corporate data center costs, human resources, legal, accounting, administration, foreign currency transaction gains and losses other than those relating to short-term intercompany balances and gains and losses on asset disposals. Corporate Support SG&A represents the unallocated portion of SG&A expenses which are not specifically attributable to our segment activities and include the expenses of information technology services, the corporate data center, human resources, legal, accounting, treasury, administration and stock-based compensation charges.

Recovery Audit Services – Europe/Asia-Pacific SG&A decreased $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. This decrease is primarily due to reduced non-payroll-related expenses.
Adjacent Services SG&A increased approximately $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. This increase is primarily due to the costs associated with the Lavante business, which were not included in the prior year costs.
Corporate Support SG&A increased $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. This increase is primarily due to increased stock-based compensation expense.

The increase in amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 is primarily due to the increase in intangible assets from the acquisition of Lavante partially offset by the end of the finite lives of certain intangible assets.
Foreign Currency Transaction (Gains) Losses on Short-Term Intercompany Balances. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on short-term intercompany balances result from fluctuations in the exchange rates for foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar and the impact of these fluctuations, primarily on balances payable by our foreign subsidiaries to their U.S. parent. Substantial changes from period to period in foreign currency exchange rates may significantly impact the amount of such gains and losses. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies results in recorded losses on short-term intercompany balances receivable from our foreign subsidiaries while the relative weakening of the U.S. dollar results in recorded gains. In the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recorded foreign currency transaction gains of $0.6 million on short-term intercompany balances. In the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded gains of $1.0 million on short-term intercompany balances.
Net Interest Expense (Income) & Other Income. The change in net interest expense (income) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 was due to increased borrowings under the Company's credit facility for the acquisitions of Lavante and C&CA. Other income increased approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 due to an earnout payment received from the sale of certain assets in 2015.
Income Tax Expense. Our income tax expense amounts as reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) do not reflect amounts that normally would be expected due to several factors. The most significant of these factors is that for U.S. tax reporting purposes we have net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes which created deferred tax assets on our balance sheet. We reduce our deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Generally, these factors result in our recording no net income tax expense or benefit relating to our operations in the United States. Reported income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 primarily results from taxes on the income of certain of our foreign subsidiaries.
Adjusted EBITDA. We evaluate the performance of our reportable segments based upon revenue and measures of profit or loss we refer to as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings from continuing operations before interest and taxes (“EBIT”), adjusted for depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), and then further adjusted for unusual and other significant items that management views as distorting the operating results of the various segments from period to period. Such adjustments include restructuring charges, stock-based compensation, bargain purchase gains, acquisition-related charges and benefits (acquisition transaction costs, acquisition obligations classified as compensation, and fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingent consideration), tangible and intangible asset impairment charges, certain litigation costs and litigation settlements, certain severance charges and foreign currency transaction gains and losses on short-term intercompany balances viewed by management as individually or collectively significant.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $1.8 million, or 5.4% of revenue, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million, or 5.0% of revenue, for the same period in the prior year. The 2017 amount included a loss associated with the Lavante SIM business of approximately$1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, which is consistent with our previous guidance. Excluding the first quarter 2017 impact of the Lavante and C&CA acquired businesses which are not part of our prior year financials, Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2017 increased approximately 7% on a constant dollar basis when compared to the same period in the prior year.
Transformation severance and related expenses were essentially flat for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Transformation severance and related expenses fluctuate with staff reductions and lease expenses associated with vacating office space across all segments in order to reduce our cost structure.
Stock-based compensation increased $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 due primarily to the effect of increases in our stock price on the cost associated with outstanding performance based restricted stock units.
We include a detailed calculation of Adjusted EBITDA by segment in Note D of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. A summary of Adjusted EBITDA by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 is as follows (in thousands):

Recovery Audit Services – Americas Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1.9 million, or 36.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. This increase is primarily due to the higher revenue in the segment during the first quarter 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Recovery Audit Services – Europe/Asia-Pacific Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1.2 million, or 74.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. This decrease is primarily due to the lower revenue in the segment for the first quarter 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year.

23


Adjacent Services Adjusted EBITDA decreased $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. This decrease is primarily due to higher SG&A expenses from the newly acquired Lavante business, which were partially offset by increased revenue.
Corporate Support Adjusted EBITDA was essentially flat for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase. We place our temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, certain investments may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit or otherwise may not be covered by FDIC insurance. Some of our cash and cash equivalents are held at banks in jurisdictions outside the U.S. that have restrictions on transferring such assets outside of these countries on a temporary or permanent basis. Such restricted net assets are not material to our consolidated net assets.
As of March 31, 2017, we had $11.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $13.6 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility with SunTrust. As of March 31, 2017, the limit on our revolving credit facility was $20 million and we had $6.4 million of availability for borrowings. As of March 31, 2107, the Company was in compliance with the covenants in its SunTrust credit facility. We amended the SunTrust credit facility in January 2014, December 2014, December 2016 and May 2017 as further described in Secured Credit Facility below.
The $11.5 million in cash and cash equivalents includes $1.6 million held at banks in the U.S. and the remainder held at banks in other jurisdictions, primarily, in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Mexico, India and Brazil. Certain foreign jurisdictions restrict the amount of cash that can be transferred to the U.S. or impose taxes and penalties on such transfers of cash. To the extent we have excess cash in foreign jurisdictions that could be used in, or is needed by, our operations in the U.S., we may incur significant penalties and/or taxes to repatriate these funds. Generally, we have not provided for deferred taxes on the undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries as we consider these earnings to be permanently reinvested. However, we do not consider the earnings of our Canadian subsidiary to be permanently reinvested, and have provided deferred taxes relating to the potential repatriation of the funds held in Canada.
Our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2017 included short-term investments of approximately $1.6 million the majority of which was held at banks outside of the United States, primarily in Brazil and Canada.
Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The net cash provided by operating activities was $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. These amounts consist of two components, specifically, net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items (such as depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and deferred income taxes) and changes in assets and liabilities, primarily working capital, as follows (in thousands):

The decrease in net cash from operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016 is primarily the result of the payment of incentive compensation during the first quarter of 2017 based on the previous year's financial performance. No comparable annual incentive compensation was paid during 2016 for 2015 performance.
We include an itemization of these changes in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited) in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Investing Activities. Net cash used for property and equipment capital expenditures was $1.5 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These capital expenditures primarily related to investments we made to upgrade our information technology infrastructure.

24


Capital expenditures are discretionary and we currently expect to continue to make capital expenditures to enhance our information technology infrastructure and proprietary audit tools in 2017. Should we experience changes in our operating results, we may alter our capital expenditure plans.
In addition to capital expenditures, we completed the acquisition of C&CA during the first quarter of 2017, and borrowed approximately $10.0 million under the SunTrust revolving credit facility to complete the acquisition.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Net cash used by financing activities was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The net cash provided by financing activities in 2017 was due primarily to $10.0 million in borrowings from our SunTrust credit facility to fund the acquisition of C&CA during the first quarter of 2017.
Secured Credit Facility
On January 19, 2010, we entered into a four-year revolving credit and term loan agreement with SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”). The SunTrust credit facility initially consisted of a $15.0 million committed revolving credit facility and a $15.0 million term loan. The SunTrust credit facility is guaranteed by the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of our assets. Borrowing availability under the SunTrust revolver at December 31, 2016 was $20.0 million. As of December 31, 2016, we had $3.6 million in outstanding borrowings under the SunTrust revolver. The SunTrust term loan required quarterly principal payments of $0.8 million from March 2010 through December 2013, and a final principal payment of $3.0 million in January 2014 that we paid in December 2013.
On January 17, 2014, we entered into an amendment of the SunTrust credit facility that increased the committed revolving credit facility from $15.0 million to $25.0 million, lowered the applicable margin to a fixed rate of 1.75%, eliminated the provision limiting availability under the credit facility based on eligible accounts receivable, increased our stock repurchase program limit, and extended the scheduled maturity of the credit facility to January 16, 2015 (subject to earlier termination as provided therein). We also paid a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum, payable quarterly, on the unused portion of the $25.0 million credit facility through the next amendment date.
On December 23, 2014, we entered into an amendment of the SunTrust credit facility that reduced the committed revolving credit facility from $25.0 million to $20.0 million. The credit facility bears interest at a rate per annum comprised of a specified index rate based on one-month LIBOR, plus an applicable margin (which was set as 1.75% per annum pursuant to this amendment). The index rate is determined as of the first business day of each calendar month. With the provision of a fixed applicable margin of 1.75% per the amendment of the SunTrust credit facility, the interest rate at December 31, 2016 was approximately 2.4%. The credit facility included two financial covenants (a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio) that would apply only if we had borrowings under the credit facility that arose or remained outstanding during the final 30 calendar days of any fiscal quarter. These financial covenants also will be tested, on a modified pro forma basis, in connection with each new borrowing under the credit facility. This amendment also extended the scheduled maturity of the revolving credit facility to December 23, 2017 and lowered the commitment fee to 0.25% per annum, payable quarterly, on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility.

On December 21, 2016, we entered into an amendment of the SunTrust credit facility in order to clarify certain definitions and other terms of the facility.
The SunTrust credit facility includes customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants binding on the Company, including delivery of financial statements and other reports, maintenance of existence, and transactions with affiliates. The negative covenants limit the ability of the Company, among other things, to incur debt, incur liens, make investments, sell assets or declare or pay dividends on its capital stock. The financial covenants included in the SunTrust credit facility, among other things, limit the amount of capital expenditures the Company can make, set forth maximum leverage and net funded debt ratios for the Company and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and also require the Company to maintain minimum consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In addition, the SunTrust credit facility includes customary events of default. As of March 31, 2017, we had $13.6 million in outstanding borrowings under the SunTrust revolver. The Company was in compliance with the covenants in the SunTrust credit facility as of March 31, 2017.
On May 4, 2017, we entered into an amendment of the SunTrust credit facility, that, among other things, (i) increased the aggregate principal amount of the committed revolving credit facility from $20.0 million to $35.0 million through December 31, 2018, which amount will be reduced to $30.0 million thereafter, (ii) extended the maturity date of the credit facility to December 31, 2019, (iii) added customary provisions to reflect European Union “bail-in” directive compliance language, and (iv) modified the financial covenants applicable to the Company during the remaining term of the credit facility by (A) revising the maximum leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and (B) adding an additional financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum amount of consolidated adjusted EBITDA. In addition, the applicable margin

used to determine the interest rate per annum on outstanding borrowings under the credit facility, and the ongoing commitment fee payable on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility commitment, both of which previously had been fixed percentages per annum, have been amended and both now will vary based upon our quarterly leverage ratio calculation under the SunTrust credit facility.
We believe that we will have sufficient borrowing capacity and cash generated from operations to fund our capital and operational needs for at least the next twelve months.
Stock Repurchase Program
On February 21, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which we could repurchase up to $10.0 million of our common stock from time to time through March 31, 2015. On March 25, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a $10.0 million increase to the stock repurchase program, bringing the total amount of common stock that we could repurchase under the program to $20.0 million. On October 24, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a $20.0 million increase to the stock repurchase program, increasing the total stock repurchase program to $40.0 million, and extended the duration of the program to December 31, 2015. During October 2015, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $10.0 million increase to the stock repurchase program, increasing the total stock repurchase program to $50.0 million, and extended the duration of the program to December 31, 2016. In December 2016, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $10.0 million increase to the stock repurchase program, increasing the total stock repurchase program to $60.0 million, and extended the duration of the program to December 31, 2017. From the February 2014 announcement of the Company’s current stock repurchase program through March 31, 2017, the Company has repurchased 8.6 million shares, or 28.7%, of its common stock outstanding on the date of the original announcement of the program, for an aggregate cost of $44.5 million. These shares were retired and accounted for as a reduction to Shareholders' equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (Unaudited). Direct costs incurred to acquire the shares are included in the total cost of the shares.
The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon the Company’s stock price, the amount of the Company’s available cash, regulatory requirements, and other corporate considerations. The Company may initiate, suspend or discontinue purchases under the stock repurchase program at any time.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2017, the Company did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
We describe the Company’s significant accounting policies in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. We consider certain of these accounting policies to be “critical” to the portrayal of the Company’s financial position and results of operations, as they require the application of significant judgment by management. As a result, they are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We identify and discuss these “critical” accounting policies in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those considered “critical”. Management has discussed the development, selection and evaluation of accounting estimates, including those deemed “critical,” and the associated disclosures in this Form 10-Q with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the information in this Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, statements regarding: (1) future results of operations or of the Company’s financial condition, (2) the adequacy of the Company’s current working capital and other available sources of funds, (3) the Company's goals and plans for the future, including its strategic initiatives and growth opportunities, (4) expectations regarding future revenue trends, and (5) the expected impact of the Company’s decision to exit the Company's Healthcare Claims Recovery Audit Services business. All statements that cannot be assessed until the occurrence of a future event or events should be considered forward-looking. These statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate” and “continue” or similar words. Risks and uncertainties that may potentially impact these forward-looking statements include, without limitation, those set forth under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and its other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims any obligation or duty to update or modify these forward-looking statements.
There may be events in the future, however, that the Company cannot accurately predict or over which the Company has no control. The risks and uncertainties listed in this section, as well as any cautionary language in this Form 10-Q, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. You should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events denoted above as risks and uncertainties and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Currency Market Risk. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, although we transact business in various foreign locations and currencies. As a result, our financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets in which we provide our services. Our operating results are exposed to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the other countries in which we operate. When the U.S. dollar strengthens against other currencies, the value of foreign functional currency revenue decreases. When the U.S. dollar weakens, the value of the foreign functional currency revenue increases. Overall, we are a net receiver of currencies other than the U.S. dollar and, as such, benefit from a weaker dollar. We therefore are adversely affected by a stronger dollar relative to major currencies worldwide. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized $1.9 million of operating income from operations located outside the U.S., virtually all of which was originally accounted for in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Upon translation into U.S. dollars, such operating income would increase or decrease, assuming a hypothetical 10% change in weighted-average foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, by approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. We currently do not have any arrangements in place to hedge our foreign currency risk.
Interest Rate Risk. Our interest income and expense are sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. In this regard, changes in U.S. interest rates affect the interest earned on our cash equivalents as well as interest paid on amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility, if any. As of March 31, 2017, we had $13.6 million outstanding against our revolving credit facility. Interest on our revolving credit facility is payable monthly and accrues at an index rate using the one-month LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin. Assuming full utilization of the revolving credit facility, a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates applicable to the revolver would result in an approximate $0.2 million change in annual pre-tax income.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2017.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are party to a variety of legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. While the results of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in the risks facing the Company as described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
The Company’s current credit facility prohibits the payment of any cash dividends on the Company’s capital stock.
There were no purchases of the Company’s equity securities made by or on behalf of the Company or any affiliated purchaser (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 10b-18) during the three-month period ended March 31, 2017.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information
On May 4, 2017, we entered into an amendment of the SunTrust credit facility, that, among other things, (i) increased the aggregate principal amount of the committed revolving credit facility from $20.0 million to $35.0 million through December 31, 2018, which amount will be reduced to $30.0 million thereafter, (ii) extended the maturity date of the credit facility to December 31, 2019, (iii) added customary provisions to reflect European Union “bail-in” directive compliance language, and (iv) modified the financial covenants applicable to the Company during the remaining term of the credit facility by (A) revising the maximum leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and (B) adding an additional financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum amount of consolidated adjusted EBITDA.
In addition, the applicable margin used to determine the interest rate per annum on outstanding borrowings under the credit facility, and the ongoing commitment fee payable on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility commitment, both of which previously had been fixed percentages per annum, have been amended and both now will vary based upon our quarterly leverage ratio calculation under the SunTrust credit facility. The applicable margin per annum on interest accruing on all borrowings under the credit facility outstanding on or after May 4, 2017, and the applicable percentage per annum commitment fee accruing on and after that date, respectively will be determined as follows:

Pricing Level
Leverage Ratio
Applicable Margin for LIBOR Index Rate Loans
Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans
Applicable Percentage for Commitment Fee
I
Less than 1.25:1.00
2.25% per annum
1.25% per annum
0.250% per annum
II
Greater than or equal to 1.25:1.00 but less than 1.75:1.00
2.50% per annum
1.50% per annum
0.375% per annum
III
Greater than or equal to 1.75:1.00
2.75% per annum
1.75% per annum
0.375% per annum
