DHI GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of DHI Group, Inc. (“DHI” or the “Company”) have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted and condensed pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal and recurring accruals) have been made to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year.
Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the condensed consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates during the six month period ended June 30, 2020, except as disclosed in Notes 6 and 8 relating to impairments to equity method investments and intangible assets.
2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current "incurred loss" model with an "expected loss" model that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of a financial asset. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for Smaller Reporting Companies. The Company is evaluating the expected impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820), Disclosures Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. The new standard requires entities that are customers in cloud computing arrangements to defer implementation costs if they would be capitalized by the entity in software licensing arrangements under the internal-use software guidance. ASU No. 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those years. The amendments allow either a retrospective or prospective approach to all implementation costs incurred after adoption. The Company adopted this standard, effective January 1, 2020, under the prospective approach, and capitalized implementation costs are included in other assets on the Company's balance sheet.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating taxes during interim quarters and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes, specifies the timing for recognizing certain income tax effects of changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the expected impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized net of customer discounts ratably over the service period. Customer billings delivered in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the service period. The Company generates revenue from recruitment packages, advertising, classifieds, and virtual and live career fair and recruitment event booth rentals.

We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; accounts receivable is recorded when customers are invoiced per the contractual billings schedules. As the Company's standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company elected the practical expedient, where applicable. As a result, the Company does not consider the effects of a significant financing component. Contract liabilities include customer billings delivered in advance of performance under the contract, and associated revenue is realized when services are rendered under the contract.
Receivables increase due to customer billings and decrease by cash collected from customers. Contract liabilities increase due to customer billings and are decreased as performance obligations are satisfied under the contracts.
The Company recognized the following revenues as a result of changes in the contract liability balances in the respective periods (in thousands):

4. SALE OF BUSINESSES
The Company sold the Hcareers business on May 22, 2018 for $16.5 million and incurred approximately $1.5 million in selling costs, with $1.7 million of the purchase price placed in escrow (recorded in prepaid and other current assets), to be released twelve months after the closing date, subject to the terms and conditions of the transaction agreement, including certain contingencies. Additionally, the Company recorded a receivable of $0.2 million related to working capital, subject to the terms and conditions of the transaction agreement. Net cash proceeds of $14.0 million were received on the date of sale of Hcareers. As a result of the sale, a $0.8 million loss was recognized in the second quarter of 2018. During the second quarter of 2019, the escrow of $1.7 million and working capital terms and related contingencies were finalized resulting in the Company recording an additional loss on sale of $0.5 million and receiving cash of $0.7 million from the escrow and $0.2 million from working capital.
The Company sold the RigLogix portion of the Rigzone business on February 20, 2018 for $4.2 million and incurred approximately $0.6 million in selling costs. $0.4 million of the purchase price was placed in escrow, which was released to the Company in the first quarter of 2019. As a result of the sale, a $4.6 million gain was recognized in the first quarter of 2018. The gain on sale exceeded net proceeds as liabilities transferred in the transaction exceeded assets, primarily due to deferred revenues of $1.2 million.
The Company sold the Health eCareers business on December 4, 2017 for $15.0 million and incurred approximately $0.6 million of selling costs. $1.5 million of the purchase price was placed in escrow, which was released to the Company in the second quarter of 2019.
5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The FASB ASC topic on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. As a basis for considering assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy is used, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
•Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
•Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.
•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and long-term debt approximate their fair values. The fair value of the long-term debt was estimated using present value techniques and market based interest rates and credit spreads. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on Level 2 inputs.
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets include investments (included in other assets), goodwill and intangible assets which resulted from prior acquisitions. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable. Such instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment.

At January 1, 2018, the Company held preferred stock representing a 10.0% interest in the fully diluted shares of a leading tech skills assessment company. During 2018, the skills assessment company completed an additional equity offering, lowering DHI's total interest to 7.6%. The Company did not adjust the recorded value of the investment because the shares issued under the new share offering were not similar to the Company's share rights. As of December 31, 2019 it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the preferred stock as the shares are not traded. The investment was carried at its original cost of $2.0 million and was included in the other assets section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, based on the investment's historical cash burn rate, uncertainty of its ability to meet revenue and cash flow projections, current liquidity position, lack of access to additional capital, and impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined the value to be zero. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.0 million during the first quarter of 2020.
On January 31, 2018, the Company transferred a majority ownership of the BioSpace business to BioSpace management with zero proceeds received from the transfer, while retaining a 20% preferred share interest in the BioSpace business. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company sold its 20% interest in BioSpace to BioSpace management for $0.2 million. At the time of sale, the recorded value of the investment was zero. Accordingly, the Company recognized a $0.2 million gain on sale, which was included in interest expense and other on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Rigzone is a website dedicated to delivering online content, data, and career services in the oil and gas industry in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. Oil and gas companies, as well as companies that serve the energy industry, use Rigzone to find talent for roles such as petroleum engineers, sales professionals with energy industry expertise and skilled tradesmen. On August 31, 2018, the Company transferred a majority ownership of the Rigzone business to Rigzone management, while retaining a 40% common share interest, with zero proceeds received from the transfer. The Company has evaluated the 40% common share interest in the Rigzone business and has determined the investment meets the definition and criteria of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). The Company evaluated the VIE and determined that the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in the VIE, as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance. The common share interest is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over Rigzone. As accumulated earnings of the VIE have been approximately zero since the date of transfer, the investment is recorded at zero at June 30, 2020.
7. LEASES
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), applying the modified retrospective transition.
The Company has operating leases for corporate office space and certain equipment. The leases have original terms from one year to eight years, some of which include options to renew the lease, and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. No leases include options to purchase the leased property. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We do not have any lease agreements with related parties.
Operating lease right-of-use "ROU" assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating ROU assets and liabilities commencing after January 1, 2019 are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When readily available, the Company uses the implicit rate in determining the present value of the lease payments. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement of the lease, including the lease term. Because the implicit rate in each lease is not available, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. All operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

8. ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had an indefinite-lived acquired intangible asset of $31.8 million and $39.0 million, respectively, related to the Dice trademarks and brand name. The impairment test performed as of October 1, 2019 resulted in the fair value of the Dice trademarks and brand name exceeding the carrying value by 26%. During the first quarter of 2020, because of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on future earnings and cash flows for the Dice trademarks and brand name, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis. As a result of the analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $7.2 million during the first quarter of 2020. Revenue attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name exceeded the projections used in the March 31, 2020 analysis by 1% and operating income margin for the Company exceeded the same projections by 3 percentage points. Additionally, the Company believes those projections beyond June 30, 2020 remain the Company's best estimate. As a result, no impairment was recorded during the three month period ended June 30, 2020 nor during the six month period ended June 30, 2019.
Considering the recognition of the Dice brand, its long history, awareness in the talent acquisition and staffing services market, and the intended use, the remaining useful life of the Dice.com trademarks and brand name was determined to be indefinite. We determine whether the carrying value of recorded indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets is impaired on an annual basis or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. The impairment review process compares the fair value of the indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recorded.
The projections utilized in the March 31, 2020 analysis included a decline in revenues attributable to the Dice trademark and brand name for the year ending December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 and then increasing to rates approximating industry growth projections. The Company’s ability to achieve these revenue projections may be impacted by, among other things, uncertainty related to COVID-19, competition in the technology recruiting market, challenges in developing and introducing new products and product enhancements to the market and the Company’s ability to attribute value delivered to customers. Cash flows attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name are projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of the lower revenue, but partially offset by reductions to operating expenses. Operating expenses are projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, including a small operating margin reduction, and then increase at levels that allow for modest operating margin improvements. If future cash flows attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in a future period. In the March 31, 2020 analysis, the Company utilized a relief from royalty rate method to value the Dice trademarks and brand name using a royalty rate of 5.0% based on comparable industry studies and a discount rate of 17.5% compared to a royalty rate of 6.0% and a discount rate of 14.2% at October 1, 2019.
The determination of whether or not indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets have become impaired involves a significant level of judgment in the assumptions underlying the approach used to determine the value of the indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets. Fair values are determined using a profit allocation methodology which estimates the value of the trademark and brand name by capitalizing the profits saved because the company owns the asset. We consider factors such as historical performance, anticipated market conditions, operating expense trends and capital expenditure requirements. Changes in our strategy, uncertainty related to COVID-19, and/or changes in market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded amounts of intangible assets. If projections are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in the foreseeable future.

The amount of goodwill as of June 30, 2020 allocated to the Tech-focused reporting unit was $152.1 million. The annual impairment test for the Tech-focused reporting unit, which was performed as of October 1, 2019, resulted in the fair value of the reporting unit exceeding the carrying value by 37%. During the first quarter of 2020, because of the impacts of the
DHI GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on future earnings and cash flows for the reporting unit, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis of goodwill. The results of the analysis indicated that the fair value of the Tech-focused reporting unit was not substantially in excess of the carrying value as of March 31, 2020. The percentage by which the estimated fair value exceeded carrying value for the Tech-focused reporting unit at March 31, 2020 was less than 1%. Revenues for the Tech-focused reporting unit during the second quarter of 2020 exceeded the projections used in the March 31, 2020 analysis by 3% and operating income margin for the Company exceeded the same projections by 3 percentage points. Additionally, the Company believes those projections beyond June 30, 2020 remain the Company's best estimate. As a result, no impairment test was performed during the second quarter of 2020.
Revenue projections for the Tech-focused reporting unit declined compared to the projections used in the October 1, 2019 analysis due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenue is projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 and then increase at rates approaching industry projections. The Company’s ability to achieve these revenue projections may be impacted by, among other things, the length and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, competition in the technology recruiting market, challenges in developing and introducing new products and product enhancements to the market and the Company’s ability to attribute value delivered to customers. Future cash flows are projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of the lower revenue, but the decline will be partially offset by reductions to operating expenses. Operating expenses are projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, resulting in a small operating margin reduction, and then increase at levels that allow for modest operating margin improvements.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of estimates and key assumptions, particularly assumed discount rates and projections of future operating results. The discount rate applied for the Tech-focused reporting unit in the March 31, 2020 analysis was 16.5%, compared to 13.2% at October 1, 2019. An increase to the discount rate applied or reductions to future projected operating results could result in future impairment of the Tech-focused reporting unit’s goodwill. It is reasonably possible that changes in judgments, assumptions and estimates the Company made in assessing the fair value of goodwill could cause the Company to consider some portion or all of the goodwill of the Tech-focused reporting unit to become impaired. In addition, a future decline in the overall market conditions, uncertainty related to COVID-19, political instability, and/or changes in the Company’s market share could negatively impact the estimated future cash flows and discount rates used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit and could result in an impairment charge in the foreseeable future.
10. INDEBTEDNESS
Credit Agreement—In November 2018, the Company, together with Dice, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dice Career Solutions, Inc. (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which matures in November 2023, and replaced the previously existing credit agreement dated November 2015. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving loan facility of $90 million, with an expansion option up to $140 million, as permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a LIBOR rate or a base rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 1.75% to 2.50% on LIBOR loans and 0.75% to 1.50% on base rate loans, determined by the Company’s most recent consolidated leverage ratio. The Company incurs a commitment fee ranging from 0.30% to 0.45% on any unused capacity under the revolving loan facility, determined by the Company’s most recent consolidated leverage ratio. The facility may be prepaid at any time without penalty.
The Credit Agreement contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants and also contains certain financial covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. Borrowings are allowed under the Credit Agreement to the extent the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis, is equal to or less than 2.50 to 1.00. Negative covenants include restrictions on incurring certain liens; making certain payments, such as stock repurchases and dividend payments; making certain investments; making certain acquisitions; making certain dispositions; and incurring additional indebtedness. Restricted payments are allowed under the Credit Agreement to the extent the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis, is equal to or less than 2.00 to 1.00, plus an additional $5.0 million of restricted payments. The Credit Agreement also provides that the payment of obligations may be accelerated upon the occurrence of customary events of default, including, but not limited to, non-payment, change of control, or insolvency. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company is subject to various claims from taxing authorities, lawsuits and other complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records provisions for losses when claims become probable and the amounts are reasonably estimable. Although the outcome of these legal matters, except as described below and recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements, cannot be determined, it is the opinion of management that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, operations or liquidity.
During the first quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a $1.0 million liability related to a class action lawsuit regarding the applicability of provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (the "FCRA") to one of our products. The lawsuit was brought by Ian Douglas, individually, as a representative of the class and on behalf of the general public, against DHI Group, Inc. and Dice Inc. asserting six claims under the FCRA that the Company’s Open Web profiles are “consumer reports” and Dice is a “consumer reporting agency” under the FCRA, including claims pursuant to the private right of action in 15 U.S.C. Section 1681n for alleged willful violations of the FCRA. The action was originally filed in a federal district court on July 26, 2017, but as a part of the settlement process, the action was re-filed in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, California (Case No. 18CV331732). The recorded liability reflected a settlement, which was subject to a final judgment, and was paid in the third quarter of 2019. The settlement resolved all remaining claims subject to the lawsuit, and final judgment approving the settlement was entered on July 24, 2020.
Tax Contingencies
The Company operates in a number of tax jurisdictions and is routinely subject to examinations by various tax authorities with respect to income taxes and indirect taxes. The determination of the Company’s worldwide provision for taxes requires judgment and estimation. The Company has reserved for potential examination adjustments to our provision for income taxes and accrual of indirect taxes in amounts which the Company believes are reasonable.

The Company's Board approved the retirement of 20 million shares of treasury stock during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and, as a result, the Company reduced additional paid in capital by $161.6 million and Common Stock by $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The value of treasury stock retired was computed based on the average repurchase price of all treasury shares as of March 31, 2019, which was $8.09 per share.
13. DISPOSITION RELATED AND OTHER COSTS
In May 2017, the Company announced plans to divest a number of its online professional communities to achieve greater focus and resource allocation toward its core tech-focused business. The planned divestitures included: BioSpace (transferred majority ownership to BioSpace management on January 31, 2018 and sold the remaining interest during the second quarter of 2020), Hcareers (sold May 22, 2018), Health eCareers (sold December 4, 2017), and Rigzone (sold the RigLogix portion of the Rigzone business on February 22, 2018 and transferred majority ownership of the remaining Rigzone business to Rigzone management on August 31, 2018). Additionally, the Company ceased the Dice Europe operations on August 31, 2018 and vacated certain offices during 2018. In connection with the planned divestitures and reorganization to the tech-focused strategy, the Company incurred certain costs, including severance and retention, lease exit, business closure, professional fees related to activist shareholders, search, financial advisory, and legal services, and other costs to further these strategic objectives. The activities associated with disposition related and other costs were substantially completed during the year ended December 31, 2019.

14. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Under the 2012 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, the Company has granted stock options, restricted stock and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”) to certain employees and directors.
The Company recorded total stock based compensation expense of $1.6 million and $3.4 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $1.6 million and $3.1 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively. At June 30, 2020, there was $11.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.5 years.
Restricted Stock—Restricted stock is granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, and to non-employee members of the Company’s Board. These shares are part of the compensation plan for services provided by the employees or Board members. The closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant is used to determine the fair value of the grants. The expense related to the restricted stock grants is recorded over the vesting period as described below. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants.
The restricted stock vests in various increments either quarterly or on the anniversaries of each grant, subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date. Vesting occurs over one year for Board members and over two to four years for employees.

PSUs—PSUs are granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. These shares are granted under two compensation agreements that are for services provided by the employees. The first agreement expired and was terminated during the first quarter of 2020. Under the second agreement, the fair value of the PSUs are measured at the grant date fair value of the award, which was determined based on an analysis of the probable performance outcomes. The performance period is over one year and is based on the achievement of bookings targets during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, as defined in the agreement. The earned shares will then vest over a three year period, one-third on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, or if later, the date the Compensation Committee certifies the performance results with respect to the performance period. As of June 30, 2020, there were 1,587,607 unvested shares related to the second agreement.
There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants.
A summary of the status of PSUs as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the changes during the periods then ended is presented below:

Stock Options—The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This valuation model requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the expected life (the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of the Company’s common stock, a risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The expected life of options granted is derived from historical exercise behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of grant. The stock options vest 25% after one year, beginning on the first anniversary date of the grant, and 6.25% each quarter following the first anniversary. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants. No stock options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
A summary of the status of options previously granted as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the changes during the periods then ended, is presented below:

DHI GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
16. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus common stock equivalents, where dilutive. For the six month period ended June 30, 2020, 1.4 million dilutive shares were excluded from the computation of shares contingently issuable upon exercise as we recognized a net loss. Outstanding stock-based awards that were anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS were approximately 2.1 million and 2.0 million shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, and approximately 0.5 million and 0.6 million shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The following is a calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share and weighted-average shares outstanding (in thousands, except per share amounts):

17. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective tax rate was 19% and 9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and 14% and 34% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The following items caused the effective tax rate to differ from the U.S. statutory rate:
•A tax deficiency of $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, related to the vesting or settlement of share-based compensation awards.
•Tax expense of $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, from the nondeductible impairment of an equity investment.
•A tax benefit of $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, from the expiration of the statute of limitations in certain foreign jurisdictions.
•Excess tax benefits of $0.3 million and deficiencies of $0.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, related to the vesting or settlement of share-based compensation awards.
•Tax expense of $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, related to the transition tax on the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report. See also our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and the section entitled “Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Information contained herein contains forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on those statements because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations. These statements often include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or similar expressions. These statements are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, our ability to execute our tech-
focused strategy, competition from existing and future competitors in the highly competitive markets in which we operate, failure to adapt our business model to keep pace with rapid changes in the recruiting and career services business, failure to maintain and develop our reputation and brand recognition, failure to increase or maintain the number of customers who purchase recruitment packages, cyclicality or downturns in the economy or industries we serve, the impact of the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak on our operations and financial results, geopolitical events such as civil unrest in Hong Kong and uncertainty in respect of the regulation of data protection and data privacy, failure to attract qualified professionals to our websites or grow the number of qualified professionals who use our websites, failure to successfully identify or integrate acquisitions, U.S. and foreign government regulation of the Internet and taxation, our ability to borrow funds under our revolving credit facility or refinance our indebtedness and restrictions on our current and future operations under such indebtedness. These factors and others are discussed in more detail below and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Information contained herein contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Such measures presented herein include adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock based compensation expense, impairment, gain or loss on sale of businesses, and certain other income or expense items, as defined, (“Adjusted EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources" for definitions of these measures as well as reconciliations to the comparable GAAP measure.
You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by us herein, or elsewhere, speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible to predict these events or how they may affect us. We have no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof, except as required by federal securities laws.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, proxy and information statements and other material information concerning us are available free of charge on the Investors page of our website at www.dhigroupinc.com.

Overview
We are a provider of software products, online tools and services that deliver career marketplaces to candidates and employers globally. DHI’s three brands, Dice, ClearanceJobs and eFinancialCareers, enable recruiters and hiring managers to efficiently search, match and connect with highly skilled technologists in specialized fields, particularly technology, active government security clearance, and financial services. Professionals find ideal employment opportunities, relevant job advice and personalized data that help manage their technologist lives.
In online recruitment, we specialize in employment categories in which there has been a long-term scarcity of highly skilled, highly qualified professionals relative to market demand, specifically technologists who work in a variety of industries, have active government security clearances or a financial services background. Our websites serve as online two-sided marketplaces where employers and recruiters source and connect with prospective employees, and where technologists find relevant job opportunities, data and information to further their careers. Our websites offer job postings, news and content, career development and recruiting services tailored to the specific needs of the professional community that each website serves.

Our Revenues and Expenses
We derive the majority of our revenues from customers who pay fees, either annually, quarterly or monthly, to post jobs on our websites and to access our searchable databases of resumes. Our fees vary by customer based on the number of individual users of our databases of resumes, the number and type of job postings and profile views purchased and the terms of the packages purchased. Our Company sells recruitment packages that can include access to our databases of resumes and job posting capabilities. We believe the key metrics that are material to an analysis of our businesses are our total number of Dice recruitment package customers and the revenue, on average, that these customers generate. Average monthly revenue per recruitment package customer is calculated by dividing recruitment package customer revenue by the daily average count of recruitment package customers during the month, adjusted to reflect a thirty day month. We use the simple average of each month to derive the quarterly amount. At June 30, 2020 and 2019, Dice had approximately 5,450 and 6,100 total recruitment
package customers in the U.S., respectively, and the average monthly revenue per U.S. recruitment package customer increased from $1,130 and $1,132 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 to $1,131 and $1,142 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Deferred revenue, as shown on the Condensed Consolidated Balance sheets, reflects customer billings made in advance of services being rendered. Backlog consists of deferred revenue plus customer contractual commitments not invoiced representing the value of future services to be rendered under committed contracts. We believe backlog to be an important measure of our business as it represents our ability to generate future revenue. A summary of our deferred revenue and backlog as of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019, and June 30, 2019 are presented in the table below.

(1) Backlog consists of deferred revenue plus customer contractual commitments not invoiced representing the value of future services to be rendered under committed contracts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Backlog at June 30, 2020 declined $17.6 million and $9.1 million from December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively. Compared to December 31, 2019, the decrease is due to the negative impacts of COVID-19 and normal seasonal changes due to a higher concentration of contract renewals surrounding the end of each calendar year and the resulting usage of those contracts. Compared to June 30, 2019, the decrease is driven by the negative impacts of COVID-19 across all brands, lower renewal rates in the Dice brand, and uncertainty around Brexit and political unrest in Hong Kong negatively impacting eFinancialCareers.
To a lesser extent, we also generate revenue from advertising on our various websites or from lead generation and marketing solutions provided to our customers. Advertisements include various forms of rich media and banner advertising, text links, sponsorships, and custom content marketing solutions. Lead generation information utilizes advertising and other methods to deliver leads to a customer.
The Company continues to evolve and present new software products and features to attract and engage qualified professionals and match them with employers. For example, thus far in 2020, the Company has released Dice Private Email, Dice Remote Jobs, Dice Recruiter Profile, ClearanceJobs Workflow, eFinancialCareers Messaging, Video and Voice Calling, and eFinancialCareers Job Alerts. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company released Dice Candidate MatchTM, Dice Job Search and Job Alerts, ClearanceJobs NextGen, ClearanceJobs Pulse, ClearanceJobs BrandAmp, eFinancialCareers Recruiter Profile, and eFinancialCareers Candidate Profile. Our ability to grow our revenues will largely depend on our ability to grow our customer bases in the markets in which we operate by acquiring new customers while retaining a high proportion of the customers we currently serve, and to expand the breadth of services our customers purchase from us. We continue to make investments in our business and infrastructure to help us achieve our long-term growth objectives, such as the innovative products noted above.
Other material factors that may affect our results of operations include our ability to attract qualified professionals that become engaged with our websites and our ability to attract customers with relevant job opportunities. The more qualified professionals that use our websites, the more attractive our websites become to employers and advertisers, which in turn makes them more likely to become our customers, resulting positively on our results of operations. If we are unable to continue to attract qualified professionals to engage with our two-sided marketplaces, our customers may no longer find our services attractive, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations. Additionally, we need to ensure that our websites remain relevant in order to attract qualified professionals to our websites and to engage them in high-value tasks, such as posting resumes and/or applying to jobs.
The largest components of our expenses are personnel costs and marketing and sales expenditures. Personnel costs consist of salaries, benefits, and incentive compensation for our employees, including commissions for salespeople. Personnel costs are categorized either in our statement of operations based on each employee’s principal function or those personnel costs incurred during the application development stage of internal use software and website development are recorded as fixed assets and amortized to depreciation expense in the statement of operations over the estimated useful life of the asset. Marketing expenditures primarily consist of online advertising, brand promotion and lead generation to employers and job seekers.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as compared to the critical accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we experienced a decrease in revenue of $3.6 million, or 10%. Revenue at Dice decreased $2.7 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2019 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic driving lower renewal rates year over year. Revenues for ClearanceJobs increased $1.1 million, or 18%, as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily driven by continued high demand for professionals with government clearance and consistent product releases and enhancements driving activity on the site. eFinancialCareers revenue decreased $1.9 million, or 24%, as compared to the same period in 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, uncertainty around Brexit, political unrest in Hong Kong due to the imposition of the security law, and the impacts of foreign currency exchange.

Product development expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 14%, driven by higher capitalization of internal development costs, which decreases operating expenses. This was partially offset by an increase in compensation related costs due to higher headcount. Together, this decreased expense $0.3 million. The higher capitalization of internal development costs resulted from the Company's continued focus on the design and development of product enhancements and features for the Company's sites. The Company also noted a decrease in travel and other costs due to COVID-19 of $0.3 million.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $1.5 million, or 11% from the same period in 2019. Sales and marketing had an increase in compensation related costs of $1.7 million. This increase was offset by $2.3 million in reduced discretionary marketing expenses realized from efficiencies in vendor selection and volumes and a focus on higher yielding marketing investments and $0.9 million reduction in other operational costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including travel and consulting costs.

Depreciation expense increased $0.7 million or 28% from the same period in 2019, in connection with higher headcount driving higher capitalization of internal development costs, which are reflected as purchases of fixed assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
