NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. B asis of Presentation and General Information
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Hackett Group , Inc. (“Hackett” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the Company’s accounts and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries which the Company is required to consolidate. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these statements do not include all the disclosures normally required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 4, 2022. The consolidated results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022 , are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Reporting
Segments are defined as components of a company that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Effective in the third quarter of 2022, the Company re-assessed its operating segments under the management approach in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (ASC 280) and has determined that effective in the third quarter of 2022, it has three operating segments: Global S&BT, Oracle Solutions and SAP Solutions which are also its reportable segments. See Note 12 “Segment Information and Geographic Data” for detailed segment information.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
For acquisitions accounted for as a business combination, goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Effective in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company reorganized its operating and internal reporting structure to better align with its primary market solutions. Due to the reorganization and in accordance with ASC 280, management made the determination to present

Revenue Recognition
The Company generates substantially all of its revenue from providing professional services to its clients. The Company also generates revenue from software licenses, software support and maintenance and subscriptions to its executive and best practices advisory programs. A single contract could include one or multiple performance obligations. For those contracts that have multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company determines the standalone selling price based on the respective selling price of the individual elements when sold separately.
Revenue is recognized when control of the goods and services provided are transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services using the following steps: 1) identify the contract, 2) identify the performance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and 5) recognize revenue as or when the Company satisfies the performance obligations.
The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations for professional services over time as the related services are provided. The performance obligations related to software support, maintenance and subscriptions to its executive and best practice advisory programs are typically satisfied evenly over the course of the service period. Other performance obligations, such as software licenses, are satisfied at a point in time.
The Company generates revenue under four types of billing arrangements: fixed-fee (including software license revenue); time-and-materials; executive and best practice advisory services; and software sales and software maintenance and support.
In fixed-fee billing arrangements, which would also include contracts with capped fees, the Company agrees to a pre-established fee or fee cap in exchange for a predetermined set of professional services. The Company sets the fees based on its estimates of the costs and timing for completing the engagements. The Company generally recognizes revenue under fixed-fee or capped fee arrangements using a proportionate performance approach, which is based on work completed to-date as compared to estimates of the total services to be provided under the engagement. Estimates of total engagement revenue and cost of services are monitored regularly during the term of the engagement. If the Company’s estimates indicate a potential loss, such loss is recognized in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and reasonably estimable. The customer is invoiced based on the contractual agreement between the parties, typically bi-weekly, monthly or milestone driven, with net thirty-day terms, however client terms are subject to change.
Time-and-material billing arrangements require the client to pay based on the number of hours worked by the Company’s consultants at agreed upon hourly rates. The Company recognizes revenue under time-and-material arrangements as the related services or goods are provided, using the right to invoice practical expedient which allows it to recognize revenue in the amount based on the number of hours worked and the agreed upon hourly rates. The customer is invoiced based on the contractual agreement between the parties, typically bi-weekly, monthly or milestone driven, with net thirty-day terms, however client terms are subject to change.
Advisory services contracts are typically in the form of a subscription agreement which allows the customer access to the Company’s executive and best practice advisory programs. There is typically a single performance obligation and the transaction price is the contractual amount of the subscription agreement. Revenue from advisory services contracts is recognized ratably over the life of the agreements. Customers are typically invoiced at the inception of the contract, with net thirty-day terms, however client terms are subject to change.
The resale of software and maintenance contracts are in the form of SAP America software license or maintenance agreements provided by SAP America. SAP is the principal and the Company is the agent in these transactions as the Company does not obtain title to the software and maintenance which is sold simultaneously. The transaction price is the Company’s agreed-upon percentage of the software license or maintenance amount in the contract with the vendor. Revenue for the resale of software licenses is recognized upon contract execution and customer’s receipt of the software. The Company also provides software maintenance on other ERP systems, primarily Oracle. Revenue from maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the life of the agreements. The customer is typically invoiced at contract inception, with net thirty-day terms, however client terms are subject to change.
Revenue before reimbursements excludes reimbursable expenses charged to clients. Reimbursements, which include travel and out-of-pocket expenses, are included in revenue, and an equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses is included in cost of service.
Expense reimbursements that are billable to clients are included in total revenue and are substantially all billed as time-and-material billing arrangements. Therefore, the Company recognizes all reimbursable expenses as revenue as the related services are provided, using the right to invoice practical expedient. Reimbursable expenses are recognized as expenses in the period in which the expense is incurred. Any expense reimbursements that are billable to clients under fixed-fee billing arrangements are recognized in line with the proportionate performance approach.

The payment terms and conditions in the Company’s customer contracts vary. The agreements entered into in connection with a project, whether time and materials-based or fixed-fee or capped-fee based, typically allow clients to terminate early due to breach or for convenience with 30 days’ notice. In the event of termination, the client is contractually required to pay for all time, materials and expenses incurred by the Company through the effective date of the termination. In addition, from time to time the Company enters into agreements with its clients that limit its right to enter into business relationships with specific competitors of that client for a specific time period. These provisions typically prohibit the Company from performing a defined range of services which it might otherwise be willing to perform for potential clients. These provisions are generally limited to

Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue are recognized as either contract assets or contract liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenue recognized for services performed but not yet billed to clients are recorded as contract assets. Revenue recognized, but for which are not yet entitled to bill because certain events, such as the completion of the measurement period, are recorded as contract assets and included within accounts receivable and contract assets. Client prepayments are classified as contract liabilities and recognized over future periods as earned in accordance with the applicable engagement agreement. See Note 3 for the accounts receivable and contract asset balances. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $
Based on the information that management reviews internally for evaluating operating segment performance and nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows affected by economic factors, the Company disaggregates revenue as follows for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and October 1, 2021 (in thousands):

Capitalized Sales Commissions
Sales commissions earned by the Company’s sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. These costs are deferred and then amortized as project revenue is recognized. The Company determined the period of amortization by taking into consideration the customer contract period, which are generally less than

1. Basis of Presentation and General Information (continued)
Practical Expedients
The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer will be less than one year.
Sales tax collected from customers and remitted to the applicable taxing authorities is accounted for on a net basis, with no impact on revenue.
Expense reimbursements that are billable to clients are included in total revenue and are substantially all billed as time-and-material billing arrangements. Therefore, the Company recognizes all reimbursable expenses as revenue as the related services are provided, using the right to invoice practical expedient. Reimbursable expenses are recognized as expenses in the period in which the expense is incurred. Any expense reimbursements that are billable to clients under fixed-fee billing arrangements are recognized in line with the proportionate performance approach.
Fair Value
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable and contract assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and contract liabilities. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amount of each financial instrument approximated the instrument’s respective fair value due to the short-term nature and maturity of these instruments.
The Company uses significant other observable market data or assumptions (Level 2 inputs as defined in accounting guidance) that it believes market participants would use in pricing debt. The fair value of the debt approximated the carrying amount, using Level 2 inputs, due to the short-term variable interest rates based on market rates.
Impact of Macroeconomic Conditions on the Business
The level of revenue the Company achieves is based on its ability to deliver market leading services and solutions and to deploy skilled teams of professionals quickly. The Company’s results of operations are affected by economic conditions, including macroeconomic conditions and levels of business confidence. In each of the four quarters of 2021, the Company’s revenue before reimbursements and diluted earnings per share grew when compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 reflecting a continuation of improved economic conditions since 2021. However, any reversal of these trends or a prolonged economic downturn as a result of the impact of COVID-19 variants, or otherwise, weak or uncertain economic conditions or similar factors could adversely affect the Company's clients' financial condition which may further reduce the clients' demand for the Company's services.
2. Net Income per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. With regard to common stock subject to vesting requirements and restricted stock units issued to the Company’s employees and non-employee members of its Board of Directors, the calculation includes only the vested portion of such stock and units.
Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the assumed conversion of other potentially dilutive securities during the period.

The Company was subject to certain covenants, including total consolidated leverage, fixed cost coverage, adjusted fixed cost coverage and liquidity requirements, each as set forth in the Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, pursuant to which the lenders agreed to amend and restate the Credit Agreement, in order to extend the maturity date of the revolving line of credit and provide the Company with an additional $

The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the Credit Facility will be, at the Company’s option, equal to either a base rate or a Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”) rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin percentage. The applicable margin percentage is determined from time to time under the Amended Credit Agreement based on a consolidated leverage ratio, and ranges from

12. Segment Information and Geographical Data
Effective in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, the Company has reorganized its operating and internal reporting structure to better align with its primary market solutions. Due to the reorganization and in accordance with ASC 280, management has made the determination to present
Due to the change in reportable segments, the Company has presented the segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and October 1, 2021, respectively. The SAP Solutions reportable segment is the only segment that contains software license sales.
The measurement criteria for segment profit or loss are substantially the same for each reportable segment, excluding any unusual or infrequent items, if any. Segment profit consists of the revenues generated by a segment, less operating expenses that are incurred directly by the segment. Unallocated costs include corporate costs related to administrative functions that are performed in a centralized manner that are not attributable to a particular segment. Segment information related to assets has been omitted as the CODM does not receive discrete financial information regarding assets at the segment level.
The tables below set forth information about the Company’s operating segments for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and October 1, 2021, along with the items necessary to reconcile the segment information to the totals reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (in thousands):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). We intend the forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in these sections. All statements regarding our expected financial position and operating results, our business strategy, our financing plans and forecasted demographic and economic trends relating to our industry are forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” or “intend” and similar expressions. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We cannot promise you that our expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements will turn out to be correct. Factors that could impact such forward-looking statements include, among others, changes in worldwide and U.S. economic conditions that impact business confidence and the demand for our products and services, the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and our ability to mitigate or manage disruptions posed by COVID-19 pandemic, our ability to effectively integrate acquisitions into our operations, our ability to retain existing business, our ability to attract additional business, our ability to effectively market and sell our product offerings and other services, the timing of projects and the potential for contract cancellation by our customers, changes in expectations regarding the business consulting and information technology industries, our ability to attract and retain skilled employees, possible changes in collections of accounts receivable due to the bankruptcy or financial difficulties of our customers, risks of competition, price and margin trends, foreign currency fluctuations, the impact of the geopolitical conflict involving Russia and Ukraine on our business and changes in general economic conditions, inflation, interest rates and our ability to obtain additional debt financing if needed. For a discussion of risks and actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, see “ Our results of operations have been adversely affected and could in the future be materially adversely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) ” under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. An additional description of our risk factors is described in Part I – Item 1A, “Risk Factors”. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Many of the risks, uncertainties and other factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 have been amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic.
OVERVIEW
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Hackett. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The Hackett Group, Inc. (“Hackett” or the “Company”) is a leading IP-based strategic advisory and technology consulting firm that enables companies to achieve world-class business performance. By leveraging the comprehensive Hackett database, the world’s leading repository of enterprise business process performance metrics and best practice intellectual capital, our business and technology solutions help clients improve performance and maximize returns on technology investments. Only Hackett empirically defines world-class performance in sales, general and administrative and certain supply chain activities with analysis gained through nearly 20,000 benchmark and performance studies over 27 years at over 7,000 of the world’s leading companies.
Impact of Macroeconomic Conditions on Our Business
The level of revenue we achieve is based on its ability to deliver market leading services and solutions and to deploy skilled teams of professionals quickly. Our results of operations are affected by economic conditions, including macroeconomic conditions and levels of business confidence. In each of the four quarters of 2021, our revenue before reimbursements and diluted earnings per share grew when compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 reflecting a continuation of improved economic conditions since 2021. However, any reversal of these trends or a prolonged economic downturn as a result of the impact of COVID-19 variants, or otherwise, weak or uncertain economic conditions or similar factors could adversely affect our clients' financial condition which may further reduce the clients' demand for our services.

Revenue . We are a global company with operations in our primary markets located in the United States and Western Europe. Our revenue is denominated in multiple currencies, primarily the U.S. Dollar, British Pound and Euro, and as a result is affected by currency exchange rate fluctuations. The impact of currency fluctuations did not have a significant impact on comparisons between the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 and the comparable periods of 2021. In this MD&A, we discuss revenue based on geographical location of engagement team personnel.
Our Company total revenue was $72.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, as compared to $71.9 million in the same period of 2021 and increased 7% in the first nine months of 2022 to $223.6 million, as compared to $208.6 million in the same period of 2021. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, one customer accounted for 7% of our total Company revenue. In the third quarter of 2021 and in the first nine months of 2021 no customer accounted for more than 5% of our total Company revenue.
Segment revenue. Effective in the third quarter of 2022, the Company reorganized its operating and internal reporting structure to better align with its primary market solutions. Due to the reorganization, management made the determination to present three reportable segments: Global Strategy & Business Transformation (Global S&BT), Oracle Solutions and SAP Solutions. Global S&BT includes S&BT Consulting, Benchmarking, Business Advisory Services, Intellectual Property as-a-Service (IPASS) and OneStream. Oracle Solutions and SAP Solutions support the two fundamentally distinct ERP systems: Oracle and SAP.

Global S&BT total revenue was $41.6 million and $128.8 million during the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, as compared to $37.1 million and $107.0 million in the same period of 2021, reflecting the continued year over year growth since the second quarter of 2020 and continuing demand for digital transformation investments.
Oracle Solutions total revenue was $17.7 million and $59.2 million during the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, as compared to $20.8 million and $55.8 million in the same periods of 2021. The decrease in revenue over the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily driven by the extended client decision making during the quarter as clients reconsidered their spending priorities.
SAP Solutions total revenue was $12.8 million and $35.7 million during the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, as compared to $14.0 million and $45.9 million in the same periods of 2021. SAP Solutions total revenue in the first nine months of 2021 included a $5.3 million software sales transaction. The decrease in revenue in 2022 as compared to 2021, excluding the software sale transaction, was primarily driven from a coming off strong 2021 results, as we were rebuilding our sales pipeline after the completion of large SAP related engagements late in 2021, partially offset by strong software transaction activity at the end of the third quarter of 2022.
Reimbursements as a percentage of Company total revenue were 1.4% and 1.2% during the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, as compared to 0.7% and 0.4%, in the same periods in 2021, respectively. Reimbursements are project travel-related expenses passed through to a client with no associated operating margin. We have experienced increased client-related travel since the transition to a remote delivery model, however we do not expect reimbursements to return to pre-pandemic levels.
Cost of Service. Cost of service consists of personnel costs before reimbursable expenses, which includes salaries, benefits and incentive compensation for consultants and subcontractor fees, acquisition-related cash, acquisition-related non-cash stock based compensation expense, non-cash stock based compensation expense, and reimbursable expenses which are travel and other expenses passed through to a client and are associated with projects.
Personnel costs before reimbursable expenses, decreased 5% to $42.9 million for the third quarter of 2022 and increased 4% to $134.9 million for the first nine months of 2022, as compared to $45.2 million and $129.6 million in the same periods of 2021, respectively. The lower costs in the three-month period of 2022 were primarily a result of lower incentive compensation accruals and lower utilization of subcontractors. The higher costs in the nine-month period of 2022 were primarily a result of hiring activities and increased utilization of subcontractors to support business growth. Personnel costs as a percentage of total Company revenue were 60% for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, as compared to 63% and 62% for the same periods of 2021, respectively.
Non-cash stock based compensation expense, included in personnel costs before reimbursable expenses was $1.6 million and $4.8 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, as compared to $1.7 million and $4.9 million for the same periods of 2021, respectively.
Acquisition related non-cash stock based compensation expense, included in personnel costs before reimbursable expenses, was $4 thousand and $12 thousand for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, as compared to $19 thousand and $378 thousand for the same periods of 2021, respectively, primarily related to equity issued in relation to acquisitions.
Selling, General and Administrative Costs (“SG&A”) . SG&A primarily consists of salaries, benefits and incentive compensation for the selling, marketing, administrative and executive employees, non-cash stock based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition related costs and various other overhead expenses.
SG&A costs decreased 1%, to $14.6 million and increased 3%, to $45.0 million, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, as compared to $14.8 million and $43.7 million for the same periods of 2021, respectively. This increase in the costs during the first nine months of 2022 was primarily due to increased non client billable expenses and increased investments in sales and marketing and information technology. SG&A costs as a percentage of total Company revenue were 20% during both the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, as compared to 21% for both of the same periods in 2021.
20
Non-cash stock based compensation expense, included in SG&A, was $0.9 million and $3.0 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, as compared to $0.9 million and $2.5 million for the same periods of 2021, respectively. The increase in the nine-month period is due to higher incentive compensation expense commensurate with Company performance.
Amortization expense, included in SG&A, was $0 and $154 thousand million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, as compared to $0.3 million and $0.8 million during the same periods in 2021, respectively. The amortization expense related to the amortization of the intangible asset acquired in our acquisitions and the buyout of our partner’s joint venture interest in the CGBS Training and Certification Programs in 2017. The intangible assets related to the acquisitions have been fully amortized as of the second quarter of 2022.
Segment Profit. Segment profit consists of the revenue generated by the segment, less the direct costs of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses that are incurred directly by the segment. Items not allocated to the segment level include corporate costs related to administrative functions that are performed in a centralized manner that are not attributable to a particular segment. These administrative function costs include corporate general and administrative expenses, non-cash stock based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and the restructuring charges and reversals.
Global S&BT segment profit increased to $14.0 million and $45.9 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, as compared to $11.8 million and $34.5 million for the same periods in the previous year, respectively. This increase was primarily a result of increased revenue as discussed above.
Oracle Solutions segment profit decreased to $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2022 from $5.4 million for the same period in the previous year. Oracle Solutions segment profit was $12.1 million for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021. The decrease in the three-month period was primarily due to lower revenue as discussed above.
SAP Solutions segment profit increased to $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to $3.7 million in the same period in 2021 and decreased to $9.2 million in the first nine months of 2022, as compared to $15.6 million in the same period of 2021. SAP Solutions segment profit in the first nine months of 2021 included a $5.3 million software sales transaction and benefitted from large global engagements which drove higher utilization of subcontractors.
Income Taxes. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, we recorded $3.7 million and $10.5 million of income tax expense, respectively, related to certain federal, foreign and state taxes which reflected an effective tax rate of 26% and 25%, respectively. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, we recorded $3.2 million and $9.4 million of income tax expense related to certain federal, foreign and state taxes which reflected an effective tax rate of 29% and 27%, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $67.0 million and $45.8 million, respectively, classified in cash on the consolidated balance sheets. We currently believe that available funds (including the cash on hand and funds available for borrowing under our credit facility) and cash flows generated by operations will be sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, including working capital, debt payments, lease obligations and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months and beyond. We may decide to raise additional funds in order to fund expansion, to develop new or further enhance products and services, to respond to competitive pressures, or to acquire complementary businesses or technologies. There is no assurance that additional financing would be available when needed or desired. Our cash requirements have not changed materially from those disclosed in Item 7 included in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The following table summarizes our cash flow activity (in thousands):

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $34.1 million during the first nine months of 2022, as compared to $26.5 million during the same period in 2021. In 2022, the net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to net income adjusted for non-cash items and an increase in income tax liabilities, partially offset by the decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other accruals primarily due to payments to vendors and the 2021 incentive compensation payments and lower contract liabilities. In 2021, the net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to net income adjusted for non-cash items and an increase in incentive compensation and income tax accruals, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and contract assets.
21
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $3.2 million during the first nine months of 2022, as compared to $2.3 million during the same period in 2021. During both periods, cash flows used in investing activities primarily related to investments for the development of our Executive Advisory Member Platform and continued development of our Quantum Leap benchmark and Digital Transformation technologies. The investing activities in 2022 also included purchases of computer equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $9.6 million and $20.7 million during the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The usage of cash in the first nine months 2022 primarily related to the repurchase of $3.2 million of the Company's common stock and dividend payments of $7.0 million. The usage of cash in the first nine months 2021 primarily related to the repurchase of $14.6 million of the Company’s common stock and dividend payments of $6.5 million.
As of September 30, 2022, we did not have any outstanding borrowings under our revolving line of credit (the “Credit Facility”), leaving us with a capacity of approximately $45.0 million. On November 7, 2022, we amended and restated our credit agreement in order to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility and provide the Company with an additional $55 million in borrowing capacity, for an aggregate amount of up to $100 million. See Note 7, “Credit Facility,” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.
22
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitati ve Disclosures About Market Risk.
As of September 30, 2022, our exposure to market risk related primarily to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate risks.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Credit Facility, which is subject to variable interest rates. Under our prior credit agreement which was amended and restated in November 2022, the interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the Credit Facility was, at our option, equal to a base rate for one-, two-, three- or nine-month interest periods chosen by us in each case, plus an applicable margin percentage. A 100-basis point increase in our interest rate under our Credit Facility would not have had a material impact on our results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Following the amendment and restatement of our credit agreement in November 2022, the interest rate changed from LIBOR to a Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index.
Exchange Rate Sensitivity
We face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates as a portion of our revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, primarily the British Pound, the Euro and the Australian Dollar. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on the identification of the material weakness described below, the Company, under the supervision of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As described in the Explanatory Note in the Form 10K/A filed on November 8, 2022, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that existed as of December 31, 2021. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness is a result of our processes and related controls not operating effectively to understand the use of the information by the chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and the documentation of the evaluation of ASC 280. There were no material misstatements as a result of this material weakness; however, it could have resulted in omitted disclosures and the performance of the annual evaluation of goodwill impairment at other than the reporting unit level that could have resulted in a material misstatement to the annual or interim financial statements that would not have been prevented or detected on a timely basis. Due to the material weakness, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2022.
Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weakness
Management has implemented remediation steps to address the material weakness and to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we have improved our review process including the documentation of the evaluation of segment reporting and ASC 280. In addition, the Company will engage outside consultants to review management’s accounting analysis when the Company has significant organizational structure or reporting structure changes that may impact the Company’s analysis under ASC 280.
23
While the Company has implemented remediation steps, the material weakness cannot be considered fully remediated until the improved controls have been in place and operate for a sufficient period of time. However, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, notwithstanding the identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation steps described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
24
PART II — OTHE R INFORMATION
Item 1. Le gal Proceedings.

Item 1A. Ris k Factors.
For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the risk factor below and the information under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”).
There have been no material changes to any of the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equit y Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company did not repurchase any common stock under the repurchase plan approved by the Company's Board of Directors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 the Company repurchased 31 thousand shares of its common stock under the repurchase plan. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $10.6 million of authorization remaining under the repurchase plan. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, the Company’s Board authorized an additional $120.0 million to the repurchase plan. On November 8, 2022, the Company announced that it plans to launch a tender offer to purchase up to $120.0 million in value of shares of its common stock. The tender offer will be made pursuant to the increased share repurchase authorization.
