PRGX GLOBAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) 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 ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions for the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP 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 and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.
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 the related Notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company did not experience any significant changes during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 in any of the Critical Accounting Policies from those contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
COVID-19
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was first identified, and in March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19, the disease resulting from this coronavirus strain, as a pandemic. To help control the spread of the virus and protect the health and safety of our employees and customers, many of the Company's teams worldwide have been working remotely since the middle of March.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill annually in the fourth quarter of each year or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may exceed its fair value. The impairment test performed in the fourth quarter of 2019 indicated significant excess fair value over carrying value for the Recovery Audit Services reporting units. The Company evaluated whether there were indicators of impairment as of September 30, 2020 as a result of COVID-19 conditions including deterioration in the macro-economic environment and the volatility in our share price. While there were negative macro-economic factors, the positive evidence outweighed the negative evidence of the fair value of our reporting units more likely than not exceeding the carrying amount of those units as of September 30, 2020. Further, since the negative financial impacts on the Company from the COVID-19 pandemic have not been significant to date, COVID-19 considerations do not significantly affect the assumptions underpinning our long-term revenue and cash flow growth rates, operating models and business strategies. Therefore, the Company did not consider the COVID-19 pandemic to require an interim quantitative goodwill impairment analysis. As a result, no impairment charges for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The Company also evaluated its remaining assets, particularly accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated based on historical experience and various other information available. The Company also assessed incremental risks due to the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers' financial viability. The Company did not experience a significant deterioration of its accounts receivable portfolio during the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The Company will continue to monitor the collectability of its accounts receivable balances.
The Company has received an immaterial amount of COVID-19-related rent concessions for certain office space leases during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Consistent with updated guidance from the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in April 2020, the Company elected to treat COVID-19-related rent concessions as variable rent. While the Company is having ongoing conversations with landlords, it does not expect significant concessions for the remainder of the year.
On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which among other things, provides employer payroll tax credits for wages paid to employees who are unable to work during the COVID-19 pandemic and options to defer payroll tax payments. Based on evaluation of the CARES Act, the Company is deferring qualified payroll and other tax payments as permitted by the CARES Act.
PRGX GLOBAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The full extent of the future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations is uncertain. Such events, including a prolonged or recurring outbreak, are generally outside of our control and could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial conditions in future reporting periods.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
A summary of the new accounting standards issued by the FASB and included in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") that apply to PRGX is included below:
Adopted by the Company in Fiscal Year 2020
FASB ASU 2018-13 - In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Under the new guidance, entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. However, public companies are required to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and related changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. Certain provisions of the ASU must be applied retrospectively, while others must be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASU 2018-15 - In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The Company adopted this ASU prospectively on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
FASB ASU 2016-13 - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires entities to record expected credit losses for certain financial instruments, including trade receivables, as an allowance that reflects the entity's current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those annual periods, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASU 2019-12 - In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies accounting for income taxes, changes the accounting for certain income tax transactions and makes certain improvements to the codification. These amendments will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new standard to determine the impact it will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASU 2020-04 - In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates. Companies may adopt this guidance at any time but no later than December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the new standard to determine the impact it will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

•123,076 restricted stock units vest one year from grant date and 19,000 restricted stock units vest over three years in approximately equal annual installments.

The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based upon revenue and measures of profit or loss referred to as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines 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. The Company does not have any inter-segment revenue.

PRGX GLOBAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
(5) Debt
On March 14, 2019, the Company, as co-borrower with PRGX USA, Inc. (“PRGX-USA” and, collectively with the Company, the "Borrowers"), a wholly-owned subsidiary that is the Company’s principal domestic operating subsidiary, entered into a five-year Credit Agreement (the “BOA Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“BOA”) and Synovus Bank as the initial lenders thereunder, and with BOA as the letter-of-credit issuer thereunder, as the swingline lender thereunder, and as the administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the lenders from time to time party thereto. The BOA Credit Facility consists of a $60.0 million senior revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), with a $5.0 million subfacility for the issuance of letters of credit, and a $5.0 million swingline loan subfacility (the “Swingline Loan”). The BOA Credit Facility is guaranteed by each of PRGX’s direct and indirect domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries (other than PRGX-USA), except for certain immaterial domestic subsidiaries. None of PRGX’s direct or indirect foreign subsidiaries have guaranteed the BOA Credit Facility. The BOA Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of PRGX, PRGX-USA and each guarantor (including the equity interests in substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and up to sixty-five percent (65%) of the equity interests of certain of the Company’s first-tier material foreign subsidiaries).
The BOA Credit Facility will mature on March 14, 2024. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. There are no prepayment penalties in the event the Company elects to prepay and terminate the BOA Credit Facility prior to its scheduled maturity date, subject to breakage and redeployment costs in certain limited circumstances.
The Revolver bears interest at a rate per annum comprised of a specified index rate based on LIBOR plus an applicable interest rate margin determined under the BOA Credit Facility. For U.S. Dollar-denominated loans under the Revolver, at the option of the Borrowers, such loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) the LIBOR daily floating rate plus an applicable interest rate margin determined under the BOA Credit Facility or (y) the base rate plus the applicable interest rate margin, each as determined under the BOA Credit Facility. Although the Company does not anticipate the need for Swingline Loans, were any Swingline Loans to be made they would bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable interest rate margin for base rate loans, each as determined under the BOA Credit Facility. The applicable interest rate margin varies from 1.50% per annum to 2.25% per annum, for LIBOR daily floating rate loans, and from 0.50% per annum to 1.25% per annum, for loans based on the base rate, and in either case depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, and is determined in accordance with a pricing grid under the BOA Credit Facility.
The BOA Credit Facility includes customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants binding on the Company, including delivery of financial statements and other reports and maintenance of existence. The negative covenants limit the ability of the Company, among other things, to incur debt, incur liens, make investments and sell assets, but does provide for certain permitted repurchases of shares of its capital stock and the declaration and payment of certain dividends on its capital stock. The financial covenants included in the BOA Credit Facility set forth a maximum consolidated leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio for the Company, each which will be tested on a quarterly basis; and with the Company having the ability to increase the maximum leverage ratio for a limited time when needed in connection with permitted acquisitions. In addition, the BOA Credit Facility includes customary events of default.
As of September 30, 2020, there was $31.0 million in debt outstanding under the BOA Credit Facility that will be due March 14, 2024. The amount available for additional borrowing under the BOA Credit Facility was $29.0 million as of September 30, 2020. Based on the terms of the BOA Credit Facility, on September 30, 2020 the applicable interest rate (inclusive of the applicable interest rate margin) for LIBOR daily floating rate loans (the only type outstanding on September 30, 2020) was approximately 1.90%. As of September 30, 2020, the Company was required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum, payable quarterly, on the unused portion of the BOA Credit Facility.

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company records 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.
The Company records bank debt, if any, as of the period end date based on the effective borrowing rate and repayment terms when originated. The Company had $31.0 million in bank debt outstanding as of September 30, 2020 and $37.0 million in bank debt outstanding as of December 31, 2019. The Company believes the carrying value of the bank debt approximates its fair value. The Company considers the factors used in determining the fair value of this debt to be Level 3 inputs (significant unobservable inputs).
The Company reviews the carrying value of capitalized software development costs for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, we will recognize an impairment loss equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. During the third quarter of 2020, as a result of this evaluation, it was determined that previously capitalized internally developed software was impaired and was no longer expected to provide future value. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.6 million.
The Company states certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as required by GAAP. Generally, these assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges.

(7) Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is 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 the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
(8) 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.
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 the Company has several subsidiaries, both domestic and foreign, that have current year and actual year-to-date losses on which the Company cannot take a tax benefit because these subsidiaries have recorded a valuation allowance against their deferred tax assets. For those subsidiaries that report income and do not have a valuation allowance, the Company is required to record income tax expense.
Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. In addition, the Company is subject to the continuous examination of its income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service in the U.S. and other tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes.
The Company applies 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. PRGX refers to GAAP for guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company's 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 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
(9) Leases
The Company primarily leases office space and certain office equipment using noncancelable operating leases. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the implicit rate is not readily determinable in most of the Company's lease agreements, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate, which takes into consideration the relevant term of the underlying lease, in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Certain of our lease agreements include variable lease payments, primarily related to common area maintenance, insurance and taxes. The variable portion of payments is not included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset or lease liability due to the uncertainty of the payment amount and are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred.
The Company's leases have original lease periods expiring between 2020 and 2027, which may include the option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. The Company does not have lease agreements with residual value guarantees, sale leaseback terms or material restrictive covenants.

Impact of COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19, the disease resulting from a novel strain of coronavirus, as a global pandemic, which continues to spread worldwide, including in the United States, several European countries and throughout Asia. To limit the spread of COVID-19, governments have taken various actions including the issuance of stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines, and these mitigation measures have adversely impacted the U.S. and global economy, leading to reduced consumer and business spending, reduced economic activity and disruptions and volatility in the U.S. and global capital markets. There was not a significant negative impact on our financial results from the COVID-19 pandemic for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. While the Company received an immaterial amount of COVID-19-related rent concessions for certain office space leases in the second quarter of 2020 and has deferred qualified payroll and other taxes as permitted under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES ACT"), we are unable to reasonably estimate the impact that the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic may have on our business operations and financial condition.
Business Overview
PRGX Global, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is a global leader in recovery audit and spend analytics, providing a suite of services targeted at our clients' source-to-pay ("S2P") business processes. At the heart of our services suite is the core capability of mining client data to deliver “actionable insights.” Actionable insights allow our clients to improve their cash flow and profitability by reducing costs, improving business processes and managing risks.
Our solutions include services and technologies for recovery audit, contract compliance and advanced analytics. We deliver services to hundreds of clients and serve clients in more than 30 countries. We 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. Our Adjacent Services line of business includes our supplier information management (“SIM”) and deduction management solutions as well as S2P analytics tools offered as part of our Lumen Advanced Analytics suite. 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 (typically SaaS offerings), which are typically 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, 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 positions in the market and their market segments;
•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 processing 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 generally 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 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; growing our contract compliance service offerings; expanding into new industry verticals, such as telecommunications, manufacturing and resources; and, in the longer term, growing our Adjacent Services which includes
our advanced analytics solutions. 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. Taken together, our deep 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, reduce supplier discrepancies, 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.
Looking ahead, we expect to continue the evolution of our business from its historical auditor-led recovery audit operation, to today’s data-driven, technology-led recovery audit, and advanced analytics solutions, to tomorrow’s next generation payment assurance solutions, which will provide access to software and enable services closer in time to or contemporaneous with the transaction. We believe this evolution will allow us to provide incremental value to our clients and ultimately transform our business from one primarily focused on post-transaction analysis, error identification and recovery, to one with its major emphasis on error prevention and S2P process efficiency.
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, including developing and enhancing our technology platforms and improved operational processes within our recovery audit business. 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.
We expect to continue our information technology and product development efforts to improve our services and solutions. We expect to continue investing in sales and marketing and will continue to assess the success and effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts and the optimal level of sales and marketing investment for future periods. We also expect to adjust headcount in product development, data services, advisory services and recovery audit to support our services and client contracts. We believe that our investments in next generation recovery audit technology will further increase the operating leverage in our recovery audit platform in future years.

Consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased 1.8% compared to the same period in 2019. Consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased 4.6% compared to the same period in 2019. Below is a discussion of our revenue for our three reportable segments.
Recovery Audit Services – Americas revenue decreased 6.5% and 5.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. Within the segment, revenue from the retail recovery audit and contract compliance businesses increased moderately for the three-month period while revenue declined for the nine-month period. Revenue from the commercial (non-retail) recovery audit business declined for both the three and nine-month periods.
Recovery Audit Services – Europe/Asia-Pacific revenue increased 17.1% and 3.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. Revenue from the retail recovery audit and commercial businesses in this segment increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019. Revenue from the contract compliance business in this segment declined slightly for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019.
Adjacent Services revenue decreased 43.0% and 41.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The year-over-year decreases were primarily the result of management's decision to discontinue certain advisory projects.
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, our data services costs allocated to client projects, 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. Since the timing of our recognition of recovery audit revenue is impacted by the timing of claims recovery by our clients, which can often take between two and four months for a typical recovery audit engagement and even longer for the more complex contract compliance engagements, our revenue growth may lag incremental variable COR as we grow.

Generally, we amortize the customer relationship and trademark intangible assets we record in connection with an acquisition on an accelerated basis over six years or longer, and we amortize non-compete agreements and trade names on a straight-line basis over five years or less. This methodology results in higher amortization immediately following an acquisition, and declining expense in subsequent periods.
Impairment charges. During the third quarter of 2020, we determined that previously capitalized internally developed software related to our deduction management solution was impaired and was no longer expected to provide future value. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.6 million to the Adjacent Services segment.
Acquisition-related adjustment income reflects an adjustment to the earnout consideration for a business acquired in 2017.
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 receivables from our foreign subsidiaries while the relative weakening of the U.S. dollar results in recorded gains. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded foreign currency transaction gains of $0.4 million and losses of $0.2 million, respectively, on short-term intercompany balances compared to losses of $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2019.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net decreased $0.2 and $0.6 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019.
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 we have several subsidiaries both domestic and foreign that have current year and actual year-to-date losses on which we cannot take a tax benefit because these subsidiaries have recorded a valuation allowance against their deferred tax assets. For those subsidiaries that report income and do not have a valuation allowance, we are required to record income tax expense. Reported income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $1.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Reported income tax expense primarily results from taxes on the income of certain of our foreign subsidiaries.
As of each reporting date, the Company’s management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact management’s view with regard to the future realization of deferred tax assets.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We evaluate the performance of our operating 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 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.
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 ("GAAP"). We believe these measures provide additional meaningful information in evaluating our 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 our secured credit facility. However, EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. The adjustments impacting the calculations of EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from period to period and in the future, we expect to incur expenses of a similar nature such as those used in calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
A reconciliation of consolidated net income (loss) to each of EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented in this report are as follows (in thousands):

Transformation, severance, and other expenses decreased $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019. The year-over-year decreases were primarily the result of the elimination of fewer positions in the Company in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. Transformation, severance, and other expenses fluctuate as we transform our business or adjust our cost structure.
Costs associated with the investigation and settlement of an employment matter were $1.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, all of which were incurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The matter related to claims raised by a former employee whose position was eliminated during the fourth quarter of 2019. Independent counsel was retained and following the conclusion of the investigation, the matter was settled.
Stock-based compensation increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 primarily due to higher compensation expense associated with our performance-based restricted stock units in the 2020 periods.
Adjusted EBITDA
We include a detailed calculation of Adjusted EBITDA by segment in Note 4 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. A summary of Adjusted EBITDA, from continuing operations by segment, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows (in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources and Financial Position
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 September 30, 2020, we had $22.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $31.0 million of borrowings under our credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. ("BOA"). As of September 30, 2020, the limit on the credit facility was $60.0 million and, subject to compliance with the covenants under the credit facility, we had $29.0 million of availability for additional borrowings. As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with the covenants in the credit facility.
The $22.6 million in cash and cash equivalents includes $4.2 million held at banks in the U.S. and the remainder held at banks in other jurisdictions, primarily, in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, India, Mexico and Thailand. 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 for deferred taxes relating to the potential repatriation of the funds held in Canada.
Our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020 included short-term investments of approximately $2.1 million, the majority of which was held at banks outside of the United States, primarily in Canada.
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $22.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These amounts consist of two components, specifically, net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items (such as depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense, foreign currency transaction losses on short term intercompany balances and deferred income taxes) and changes in assets and liabilities, primarily working capital, as follows (in thousands):

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease was due to a reduced level of purchases of property and equipment in 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, resulting primarily from $6.0 million in net repayments of debt outstanding under the BOA Credit Facility (defined below) offset by $0.4 million of shares of common stock surrendered by employees to satisfy withholding taxes and $0.3 million paid for shares of common stock repurchased by the Company. Net cash provided by financing activities was $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily resulting from $14.4 million in net borrowings from the BOA Credit Facility offset by $4.2 million paid for shares of common stock repurchased by the Company, $4.2 million paid for an acquisition earnout liability, $0.8 million of shares of common stock surrendered by employees to satisfy withholding taxes and $0.4 million in deferred loan cost payments.
Future Cash Requirements and Restrictions
We expect our capital expenditures through the remainder of 2020 to continue at a rate lower than in 2019, with such expenditures primarily related to technology infrastructure and software development. Capital expenditures are discretionary, and we currently expect to continue to make capital expenditures to enhance our information technology infrastructure (both hardware and software) and analytics tools in the foreseeable future. Should we experience a change in our operating results, we may alter our capital expenditure plan in accordance with the needs of the Company.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalent balances, cash provided from operations, and borrowings available under our BOA Credit Facility will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our operations for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
As we continue to operate our business during this COVID-19 pandemic period, we may seek to strengthen our liquidity through a variety of means, including curtailing discretionary spending and delaying certain investments. Additionally, we may pursue additional sources of financing to further enhance our liquidity.
Secured Credit Facility
On March 14, 2019, the Company, as co-borrower with PRGX USA, Inc. (“PRGX-USA” and, collectively with the Company, the "Borrowers"), a wholly-owned subsidiary that is the Company’s principal domestic operating subsidiary, entered into a five-year Credit Agreement (the “BOA Credit Facility”) with BOA and Synovus Bank as the initial lenders thereunder, and with BOA as the letter-of-credit issuer thereunder, as the swingline lender thereunder, and as the administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the lenders from time to time party thereto. The BOA Credit Facility consists of a $60.0 million senior revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), with a $5.0 million subfacility for the issuance of letters of credit, and a $5.0 million swingline loan subfacility (the “Swingline Loan”). The BOA Credit Facility is guaranteed by each of PRGX’s direct and indirect domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries (other than PRGX-USA), except for certain immaterial domestic subsidiaries. None of PRGX’s direct or indirect foreign subsidiaries have guaranteed the BOA Credit Facility. The BOA Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of PRGX, PRGX-USA and each guarantor (including the equity interests in substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and up to sixty-five percent (65%) of the equity interests of certain of the Company’s first-tier material foreign subsidiaries).
The BOA Credit Facility will mature on March 14, 2024. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. There are no prepayment penalties in the event the Company elects to prepay and terminate the BOA Credit Facility prior to its scheduled maturity date, subject to breakage and redeployment costs in certain limited circumstances.
The Revolver bears interest at a rate per annum comprised of a specified index rate based on LIBOR plus an applicable interest rate margin determined under the BOA Credit Facility. For U.S. Dollar denominated loans under the Revolver, at the option of the Borrowers, such loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) the LIBOR daily floating rate plus an applicable interest rate margin determined under the BOA Credit Facility or (y) the base rate plus the applicable interest rate margin, each as determined under the BOA Credit Facility. Although the Company does not anticipate the need for Swingline Loans, were any Swingline Loans to be made they would bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable interest rate margin for base rate loans, each as determined under the BOA Credit Facility. The applicable interest rate margin varies from 1.50% per annum to 2.25% per annum, for LIBOR daily floating rate loans, and from 0.50% per annum to 1.25% per annum, for loans based on the base rate, and in either case depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, and is determined in accordance with a pricing grid under the BOA Credit Facility.
The BOA Credit Facility includes customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants binding on the Company, including delivery of financial statements and other reports and maintenance of existence. The negative covenants limit the ability of the Company, among other things, to incur debt, incur liens, make investments and sell assets, but does provide for certain permitted repurchases of shares of its capital stock and the declaration and payment of certain dividends on its capital stock. The financial covenants included in the BOA Credit Facility set forth a maximum consolidated leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio for the Company, each of which will be tested on a quarterly basis; and with the Company having the ability to increase the maximum leverage ratio for a limited time when needed in connection with permitted acquisitions. In addition, the BOA Credit Facility includes customary events of default.
As of September 30, 2020, there was $31.0 million in debt outstanding under the BOA Credit Facility. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of the BOA Credit Facility as of September 30, 2020.
Capital Allocation
The Company allocates its capital resources to invest in the capital expenditures and operations as needed to execute its business strategy. Today, this includes our investments in our sales and marketing organization, our information technology infrastructure and talent, and our technology solutions. We also look for merger and acquisition opportunities that advance our growth strategy or accelerate our acquisition of key technologies. Finally, we look to return capital to our investors.
On March 9, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $20 million of its outstanding common stock from time to time through December 31, 2021. The Company repurchased approximately 0.1 million shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate price of $0.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. These shares were retired and accounted for as a reduction to Shareholders' Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Direct costs incurred to acquire the shares are included in the total cost of the shares. As of October 30, 2020, the Company has approximately 23.6 million shares of common stock outstanding.
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 September 30, 2020, 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 the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. 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, 2019. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2019.
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, in particular any effect from the continued COVID-19 pandemic. 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
