Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Ciber, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, “Ciber,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Consistent with these requirements, this Form 10-Q does not include all the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. As a result, this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Management believes the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items and restructuring and other items, considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operation for the full fiscal year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). The core principle of the standard is when an entity transfers goods or services to customers, it will recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to for those goods or services. The update outlines a five-step model and related application guidance, which replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 is expected to be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within that year, and allows for both retrospective and prospective methods of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of implementing this guidance on our consolidated financial statements, as well as which transition method we intend to use.

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”), which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. We do not anticipate that this guidance will materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, “Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items” (“ASU 2015-01”). This ASU eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. ASU 2015-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. We do not anticipate that this guidance will materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. Specifically, ASU 2015-02 modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, and affects the evaluation of fee arrangements in the primary beneficiary determination. ASU 2015-02 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We do not anticipate that this guidance will materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”), which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and

Table of Contents

interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2015-03 was further clarified in August 2015 to include the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements. We do not anticipate that this guidance will materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-4)” which is meant to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement by providing guidance as to whether an arrangement includes the sale or license of software. This update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We are currently evaluating the impact of implementing this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

PSU Grant

On January 26, 2015, June 24, 2015, July 1, 2015 and August 10, 2015, we granted 79,761, 69,558, 47,550 and 5,000 Performance Based Restricted Share Units ("PSUs"), respectively, to our executives. The performance conditions include both an internal performance condition and an external market-based condition. We have valued the external market-based condition using a Monte Carlo approach. Probability of reaching the internal performance condition is assessed quarterly and the associated expense is adjusted based on the target expected to be achieved. There is the potential for 605,605 shares of common stock to vest under these grants if maximum performance targets are achieved.

Noncontrolling Interest Purchase

In June 2013, we entered into an agreement to purchase all of the noncontrolling interests of one of our foreign subsidiaries for future cash payments of approximately $7.3 million, of which $0.8 million was paid in the the fourth quarter of 2013, $0.7 million was paid in the fourth quarter of 2014, and $5.0 million was paid in the second quarter of 2015.

Fair Value

Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Authoritative guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity's pricing based upon its own market assumptions.

The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

•Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 – Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3 – Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.

The Company estimates the fair value of each foreign exchange forward contract by using a present value of expected cash flows model. This model calculates the difference between the current market forward price and the contracted forward price for each foreign exchange contract and applies the difference in the rates to each outstanding contract. Valuations for all derivatives fall within Level 2 of the GAAP valuation hierarchy.

Derivatives may give rise to credit risks from the possible non-performance by counterparties. Credit risk is generally limited to the fair value of those contracts that are favorable to us. The Company has limited its credit risk by entering into derivative transactions only with highly-rated global financial institutions, limiting the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution and conducting ongoing evaluation of the creditworthiness of the financial institutions with which the Company does business.

Table of Contents

The carrying value of the outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility, as defined in Note 4, approximates its fair value as (1) it is based on a variable rate that changes based on market conditions and (2) the margin applied to the variable rate is based on Ciber's credit risk, which has not changed since entering into the facility in May 2012. If Ciber's credit risk were to change, we would estimate the fair value of our borrowings using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current rates expected to be available from the lender for similar types of debt. The inputs used to establish the fair value of the ABL Facility are considered to be Level 2 of the GAAP Valuation hierarchy.

(2) Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Our computation of earnings (loss) per share — basic and diluted is as follows:

Dilutive securities, including stock options and restricted stock units, are excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect, such as when we report a net loss attributable to Ciber, Inc. from continuing operations, or when stock options have an exercise price that is greater than the average market price of Ciber common stock during the period.

(3) Goodwill

We perform our annual impairment analysis of goodwill as of June 30 each year or more often if there are indicators of potential impairment present. We test each of our reporting units for goodwill impairment. Our reporting units are the same as our operating divisions and reportable segments. The goodwill impairment test requires a two-step process. The first step consists of comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then it is not considered impaired and no further analysis is required. If step one indicates that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then impairment potentially exists and the second step is performed to measure the amount of goodwill impairment. Goodwill impairment exists when the estimated implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill is less than its carrying value.

were based on discrete financial forecasts developed by management. Cash flows beyond the discrete forecast period of five years were estimated using the perpetuity growth method calculation. The annual average revenue growth rates forecasted for our reporting units for the first five years of our projections were approximately 3%. We have projected a minor amount of operating profit margin improvement based on expected margin benefits from certain internal initiatives. The terminal value was calculated assuming projected growth rates of 3% after five years, which reflects our estimate of minimum long-term growth in IT spending. The income approach valuations also included each reporting unit’s estimated weighted average cost of capital, which were 16.0% and 15.0% for International and North America, respectively. The market approach applied pricing multiples derived from publicly-traded companies that are comparable to the respective reporting units to determine their values. For our International and North America reporting units, we used enterprise value/EBITDA multiples of approximately 8 and 6, respectively, under the market approach using the guideline public company method and approximately 13 and 8, respectively, under the market approach using the guideline transaction method in order to value each of our reporting units. In addition, the fair value under the market approach using the guideline public company method included a control premium of 30%. The control premium was determined based on a review of comparative market transactions. Publicly-available information regarding our market capitalization was also considered in assessing the reasonableness of the cumulative fair values of our reporting units.

As a result of the first step of our goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2015, we estimated that the fair values for our International and North America reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts by 13% and 89%, respectively, thus no impairment was indicated. As of September 30, 2015, the Company's goodwill was not considered to be at risk of impairment.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, were as follows:



	International			North America		Total
	(In thousands)
Balance at January 1, 2015	$	133,906		$	133,681	$	267,587
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes	(8,279		)	—		(8,279		)
Balance at September 30, 2015	$	125,627		$	133,681	$	259,308

(4) Borrowings

We have an asset-based revolving line of credit of up to $60 million (the “ABL Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The maximum amount available for borrowing at any time under such line of credit is determined according to a borrowing base valuation of eligible account receivables, which was $50.3 million at September 30, 2015. The ABL Facility provides for borrowings in the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Germany and matures on May 7, 2017. As of September 30, 2015, we had $30.0 million outstanding under the ABL Facility. We expect our borrowings to fluctuate based on our working capital needs. Our obligations under the ABL Facility are guaranteed by us and are secured by substantially all of our U.S., Netherlands, United Kingdom, and German assets. Under the ABL Facility, Wells Fargo will have dominion over the cash receipts related to any U.K., Dutch and German borrowings. At September 30, 2015, we had $0.6 million of foreign borrowings that were subject to the bank's dominion and are classified as a current liability on our balance sheet.

The ABL Facility can be prepaid in whole or in part at any time. The ABL Facility must be repaid to the extent that any borrowings exceed the maximum availability allowed under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility also includes a number of business covenants, including customary limitations on, among other things, indebtedness, liens, investments, guarantees, mergers, dispositions, acquisitions, liquidations, dissolutions, issuances of securities, payments of dividends, loans and advances, and transactions with affiliates. We were in compliance with all such covenants at September 30, 2015.

We are required to be in compliance with a minimum trailing 12-month fixed charge coverage ratio if (i) an event of default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) less than 25% of the ABL Facility is available for borrowing, or (iii) less than $15 million is available for borrowing under the ABL Facility. We must then continue to comply with the minimum trailing 12-month fixed charge coverage ratio until (1) no event of default is continuing and (2) at least 25% of the ABL Facility and a minimum of $15 million have been available for borrowing under the ABL Facility for 30 consecutive days. None of the above scenarios were applicable during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and as such we were not required to comply with the minimum trailing 12-month fixed charge coverage ratio.

As of September 30, 2015, Ciber’s ABL Facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. stated that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. would take dominion over our U.S. cash and cash receipts and would automatically apply such amounts to the ABL Facility on a daily basis if (i) an event of default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) less than 30% of the ABL Facility or less than $18 million is available for borrowing under the ABL Facility for five consecutive days, or (iii) less than 25% of the ABL Facility or less than

Table of Contents

$15 million is available for borrowing under the ABL Facility at any time. Wells Fargo would continue to exercise dominion over our U.S. cash and cash receipts until (1) no event of default is continuing and (2) at least 30% of the ABL Facility and a minimum of $18 million have been available for borrowing under the ABL Facility for 30 consecutive days.

On October 27, 2015, Ciber amended its ABL Facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The amendment governs a trigger date under which Wells Fargo will take dominion of Ciber’s U.S. cash and cash receipts and automatically apply such amounts to the ABL Facility on a daily basis. The trigger date is any date of which (a) an event of default has occurred and is continuing or (b) Ciber fails to maintain excess availability of at least the greater of (i) $10 million or (ii) an amount equal to 16 2/3% of the aggregate amount of the commitments at any time. Wells Fargo will continue to exercise dominion over our U.S. cash and cash receipts until (a) no event of default is continuing and (b) excess availability has equaled or exceeded the greater of (i) $10 million or (ii) an amount equal to 16 2/3% of the aggregate amount of the commitments under the ABL Facility for 30 consecutive days.

(5) Financial Instruments

We are exposed to certain risks related to our ongoing business operations. From time to time, we may choose to use derivative instruments to manage certain risks related to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

During the nine months of 2015 and 2014, we entered into various foreign currency forwards and a cross-currency option related to intercompany transactions denominated in a foreign currency. These forwards and option allow us to manage our foreign currency exposure with respect to the Euro, the Indian Rupee, the Pound Sterling, the Norwegian Krone, the Swedish Krona, and the Australian Dollar. The duration of these contracts generally ranges from one to three months, and we are generally entering into new contracts on a monthly basis. We have not elected hedge accounting for these derivatives.

The details of our realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net, are as follows:



	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015			2014		2015			2014
	(In thousands)
Cross-currency option	$	27		$	—	$	(57	)	$	—

Total realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives	$	(313	)	$	317	$	1,247		$	629

These gains and losses are included in "other expense, net" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Each forward and the option is recognized as either an asset or liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and is presented in either "prepaid expenses and other current assets" or "other accrued expenses and liabilities," as applicable. All cash flows associated with these forward instruments are classified as operating cash flows in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Ciber did not have any open cross-currency options as of September 30, 2015.

(6) Income Taxes

Current period U.S. and foreign income (loss) before income taxes as well as income tax expense were as follows:



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015			2014			2015		2014
	(In thousands)
Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes:
U.S.	$	(1,200	)	$	(972	)	$	1,982	$	(2,061	)
Foreign	2,406			(19,348		)	6,934		(14,626		)
Total	$	1,206		$	(20,320	)	$	8,916	$	(16,687	)

Income tax expense:
U.S.	$	696		$	1,070		$	2,037	$	3,121
Foreign	642			(606		)	1,642		2,079
Total	$	1,338		$	464		$	3,679	$	5,200

Due to our history of domestic losses, we have a full valuation allowance for all U.S. net deferred tax assets, including our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. As a result, we cannot record any tax benefits for additional U.S. incurred losses, and any U.S. income is offset by a reduction in valuation allowance. Irrespective of our income or loss levels, we continue to record U.S. deferred tax expense related to tax-basis goodwill amortization.

The effective rate on our foreign tax expense varies with the mix of income and losses across multiple tax jurisdictions with most statutory tax rates varying from 21% to 35%. In the current quarter, Ciber settled an ongoing tax audit in one of the foreign jurisdictions where it operates. The outcome of this audit allowed Ciber to release $1.1 million of its uncertain tax position reserve, which is recognized as a tax benefit in the quarter. This tax benefit offset the ongoing accrual of unrelated uncertain tax positions and return to provision true-ups booked during the quarter. The net effect is that the current quarter tax expense is in line with the normal effective rate.

(7) Restructuring Charges

On July 25, 2014, we approved a restructuring plan focused on the implementation of a go-to-market model, realigning the organization and improving our near and offshore delivery mix ("the 2014 Plan"). The 2014 Plan commenced in the third quarter of 2014 and was substantially completed in the third quarter of 2015. We expect the 2014 Plan to impact approximately 280 people. We estimate the total amount of the restructuring charges for the 2014 Plan will be approximately $27 million, substantially all of which will be settled in cash. The total estimated restructuring expenses include approximately $20 million

related to employee severance and related benefits and approximately $7 million related to professional fees, office closures and other expenses.

The changes in our 2014 Plan restructuring liabilities, which are primarily recorded in other accrued expenses, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, are as follows:

On November 5, 2012, we approved a company restructuring plan ("the 2012 Plan"). In the third quarter of 2013, all restructuring actions associated with this plan were completed. Although we have completed all activities associated with the 2012 Plan, our lease-related office closure costs are subject to estimate and as such our actual restructuring charges may differ from our current estimates. In the second and fourth quarters of 2014, as well as the first three quarters of 2015, we incurred additional charges related to adjusting our sublease estimates.

The changes in our restructuring liabilities for the 2012 Plan, which are recorded in other accrued expenses, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, are as follows:

(2) Corporate restructuring charges include costs for administrative facility consolidation.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized additional lease, contract termination and other related costs of $0.5 million, of which $0.2 million were included in accrued liabilities. These costs represent additional restructuring activities outside of the original restructuring plans.

(9) Contingencies

We are subject to various claims and litigation that arise in the ordinary course of business. The litigation process is inherently uncertain. Therefore, the outcome of such matters is not predictable.

As previously reported, we are engaged in legal proceedings in Germany in connection with our acquisition of a controlling interest in Novasoft AG (now known as Ciber AG) in 2004. In August 2006, we completed a buy-out of the remaining minority shareholders of Novasoft. Certain of those former minority shareholders challenged the adequacy of the buy-out consideration by initiating a review by the district court in Mannheim, Germany. The court made a determination in

Table of Contents

2013 which was under appeal by the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs' appeal was rejected in the third quarter of 2015 and Ciber will pay shareholders as prescribed in the buy-out, which was previously accrued.

As previously reported, a lawsuit titled CamSoft Data Systems, Inc. v. Southern Electronics, et al., was filed initially in October 2009 in Louisiana state court against numerous defendants, including Ciber. The lawsuit was subsequently removed to federal court in the Middle District of Louisiana and the complaint was amended to include additional defendants and causes of action including antitrust claims, civil RICO claims, unfair trade practices, trade secret, fraud, unjust enrichment, and conspiracy claims. The suit involves many of the same parties involved in related litigation in the state court in New Orleans, which was concluded in 2009 when Ciber settled the New Orleans suit with the plaintiffs, Active Solutions and Southern Electronics, who were CamSoft's former alleged joint venturers and are now co-defendants in the current lawsuit. Ciber is vigorously defending the allegations. Proceedings in the federal appellate courts concluded in January 2015 with the matter remanded back to state court. Based on information known to us, we have established a reserve that we believe represents a probable estimate of the loss. We are unable to predict the outcome of this litigation.

A lawsuit titled Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission. v. Ciber, Inc., and Dennis Miller was filed in January 2015 in Pennsylvania state court against Ciber and a former employee. The complaint generally alleges breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, violation of an anti-bid-rigging statute and procurement code, and conspiracy to commit fraud with and by Ciber’s own employee. These claims arise out of a project in 2004-2008 to implement a new finance and administrative system for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (“PTC”). PTC alleges $38 million in damages. We believe the claims are without merit and Ciber is vigorously defending against these allegations. At this time, we are unable to predict the outcome of this litigation.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and with the information under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. References to “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company,” or “Ciber” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Ciber, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

We use the phrase "in local currency" to indicate that we are comparing certain financial results after removing the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, thereby allowing for the comparison of business performance between periods. Financial results "in local currency" are calculated by restating current period activity into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior year period's foreign currency exchange rates. This approach is used for all results where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

Changes in the exchange rates between these foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. For financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates at period end and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period.

Restructuring

quarter of 2014 and was substantially completed in the third quarter of 2015. We expect the 2014 Plan to impact approximately 280 people. We estimate the total amount of the restructuring charges for the 2014 Plan will be approximately $27 million, substantially all of which will be settled in cash. The total estimated restructuring expenses include approximately $20 million related to employee severance and related benefits and approximately $7 million related to professional fees, office closures and other expenses.

On November 5, 2012, we approved a company restructuring plan ("the 2012 Plan"). In the third quarter of 2013, all restructuring actions associated with this plan were completed. Although we have completed all activities associated with the 2012 Plan, our lease-related office closure costs are subject to estimate and as such our actual restructuring charges may differ from our current estimates. In the second and fourth quarter of 2014, as well as the first three quarters of 2015, we incurred additional charges related to adjusting our sublease estimates. Restructuring liabilities for office closures are recorded at estimated fair value, including an estimate of sublease income which is subject to adjustment in future periods if assumptions change.

Table of Contents

Revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, total revenues decreased $18.7 million, or 8.9% in U.S. dollars in comparison to the three months ended September 30, 2014. In local currency, revenues decreased 1.1%, as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2014. This change is attributable to the following:

•

International revenues decreased $22.2 million, or 21.1% overall, and decreased 5.5% in local currency compared with the three months ended September 30, 2014. Overall, our international revenues were significantly impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Revenues in Germany and Spain improved which were more than offset by reduced revenue in the United Kingdom ("U.K.") and Denmark due to delays in project-based work and less available resources.

•

North America revenues increased $3.7 million, or 3.5%, compared to the third quarter of 2014. This increase is primarily a result of improved performance in our Independent Software Vendor ("ISV") channels due to several new clients as well as an increased level of work at existing clients. This increase was partially offset by a decline in revenue in our talent services practice due to reduced levels of work at multiple clients compared to the third quarter of 2014.

Gross Profit. Gross profit margin increased to 26.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 26.0% for the same period in 2014. Gross profit margin for our International segment increased due to improved utilization in Spain, Norway, and other smaller countries (in terms of revenue contribution). This was partially offset by decreased utilization in the U.K. and Denmark. North America gross profit margin decreased compared to the third quarter of 2014 due to lower utilization which was a result of multiple delayed project starts. This was partially offset by improved margins in our ISV channels.

Selling, general and administrative costs. Our SG&A costs decreased $3.0 million, or 5.8%, to $49.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $52.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. International SG&A costs decreased compared to the third quarter of 2014 due to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and reduced personnel costs. North America SG&A costs compared to the third quarter of 2014 were also down due to a reduction in personnel expenses. Our corporate SG&A costs increased primarily due to temporary cost increases associated with the implementation of our new operating model, as compared to the third quarter of 2014.

Operating income (loss). Our operating income was $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to an operating loss of $18.4 million for the same period of 2014. This change was primarily due to a $21.2 million restructuring charge taken in the third quarter of 2014 versus a $1.0 million restructuring charge in the third quarter of 2015, as well as increased revenues in North America, increased margins in International segment and reduced SG&A costs in our International and North America segments, which was offset by increased costs in Corporate SG&A.

Operating income (loss) from continuing operations by segment was as follows:

•	International operating income increased to $4.6 million for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase is due to reduced SG&A costs as a result of lower personnel-related expenses and greater utilization of resources.


•	North America operating income decreased $0.2 million, or 1.6% compared to the third quarter of 2014. The decrease was a result of a decline in revenue in talent services mostly offset by an increase in Oracle practice revenues and a reduction in personnel-related expenses.


•	Corporate expenses increased $2.8 million during the current three month period compared to the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to temporary cost increases associated with the implementation of our new operating model.

Interest expense. Interest expense remained stagnant during the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to the third quarter of 2014.

Other expense, net. Other expense, net decreased $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in foreign currency losses compared to the third quarter of 2014.

Income taxes. Current period U.S. and foreign income (loss) before income taxes as well as income tax expense were as follows:



	Three Months Ended September 30,

	(In thousands)
Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes:
U.S.	$	(1,200	)	$	(972	)

Income tax expense:
U.S.	$	696		$	1,070
Foreign	642			(606		)
Total	$	1,338		$	464

Due to our history of domestic losses, we have a full valuation allowance for all net U.S. deferred tax assets, including our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. As a result, we cannot record any tax benefits for additional U.S. incurred losses and any U.S. income is offset by a reduction in valuation allowance. Irrespective of our income or loss levels, we continue to record deferred U.S. tax expense related to tax-basis goodwill amortization. We expect to record approximately $2.7 million in 2015.

The effective rate on our foreign tax expense varies with the mix of income and losses across multiple tax jurisdictions with most statutory tax rates varying from 21% to 35%. In the current quarter, Ciber settled an ongoing tax audit in one of the foreign jurisdictions where it operates. The outcome of this audit allowed Ciber to release a portion of its uncertain tax position reserve, which is recognized as a tax benefit in the quarter. This tax benefit offset the ongoing accrual of unrelated uncertain tax positions and return to provision true-ups booked during the quarter. The net effect is that the current quarter tax expense is in line with the normal effective rate.

For interim periods, we base our tax provision on forecasted book and taxable income for the entire year. As the forecast for the year changes, we adjust our year-to-date tax provision. Our provision for income taxes is based on many factors and is subject to significant volatility from year to year.

Revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, total revenues decreased $51.4 million, or 8.0% in U.S. dollars compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. On a local currency basis, revenues increased 0.4%, as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This change is attributable to the following:

•

International revenues decreased $61.0 million, or 18.5%, and decreased 2.0% in local currency during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Overall, our international revenues were significantly impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Revenues in Germany improved due to strong performance in our retail vertical and CMS offerings. However, this improvement was more than offset by reduced revenue in the Netherlands and the U.K. due to reduced delivery head count and delays in project-based work, respectively.

•

North America revenues increased $9.5 million, or 3.0% compared to the first nine months of 2014. This increase is primarily a result of improved performance in all of our ISV channels due to several new clients as well as an increased level of work at existing clients. This increase was partially offset by a decline in revenue in our Application Development and Maintenance ("ADM") practice due to reduced levels of work at multiple clients compared to the first nine months of 2014.

Table of Contents

Gross Profit. Gross profit margin improved slightly to 26.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 25.8% for the same period in 2014. Gross profit margin for our International business increased from 23.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to 24.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as increased utilization of our internal resources as well as our subcontractors outweighed increased labor costs. North America gross margin was slightly down for the first nine months of 2015 as compared to the comparable 2014 period as increased margins in certain ISV channels were slightly outweighed by lower margins in our ADM practice.

Selling, general and administrative costs. Our SG&A costs decreased by $14.3 million, or 9.1% to $142.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $157.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. International SG&A costs decreased compared to the first nine months of 2014 due to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and reduced personnel costs. North America SG&A costs were down when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to a reduction in personnel expenses. During the first nine months of 2015, our corporate SG&A costs increased as a result of temporary cost increases associated with the implementation of our new operating model, as well as the year-over-year impact of a one-time fringe benefit accrual that was reversed in the first quarter of 2014. These increases in our corporate SG&A costs were mostly offset by a significant reduction in our stock-based compensation expense, which was primarily attributable to our second quarter 2014 management transition.

Operating income. Our operating income was $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to a $13.8 million loss for the same period of 2014. This improvement was mainly a result of growth in our North America ISV channels as well as a reduction in SG&A costs in both International and North America.

Operating income from continuing operations by segment was as follows:

•	International operating income increased to $16.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $11.9 million for the comparable period in 2014. This is primarily due to reduced personnel-related SG&A costs.


•	North America operating income increased $2.6 million, or 9.4%, compared to the first nine months of 2014. This increase was mainly a result of increased revenue from all of our ISV channels as well as a reduction in personnel-related SG&A costs. However, these improvements were somewhat offset by lower revenues and margins in our ADM practice.

•

Corporate expenses increased $3.6 million during the current nine month period which was primarily related to temporary cost increases associated with the implementation of our new operating model, as well as the year-over-year impact of a one-time fringe benefit accrual that was reversed in the first quarter of 2014. These increases in our corporate SG&A costs were mostly offset by a significant reduction in our stock-based compensation expense, which was primarily a result of our second quarter 2014 management transition.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the same period of 2014 due to the capitalization of interest associated with an asset purchase that began in the fourth quarter of

Table of Contents

2014 as well as decreased interest expense associated with the purchase of the noncontrolling interest of one of our foreign subsidiaries (see Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this purchase). These decreases in interest expense were partly offset by higher average borrowings in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the comparable 2014 period.

Other expense, net. Other expense, net was $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This change was due to foreign exchange gains and losses.

Income taxes. Current period U.S. and foreign income (loss) before income taxes as well as income tax expense were as follows:



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015		2014
	(In thousands)
Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes:
U.S.	$	1,982	$	(2,061	)
Foreign	6,934		(14,626		)
Total	$	8,916	$	(16,687	)

Income tax expense:
U.S.	$	2,037	$	3,121
Foreign	1,642		2,079
Total	$	3,679	$	5,200

The effective rate on our foreign tax expense varies with the mix of income and losses across multiple tax jurisdictions with most statutory tax rates varying from 21% to 35%, year to date. The foreign tax expense was on the lower end of this range primarily as a result of the current mix of income and losses across jurisdictions, with a significant portion of income being earned in jurisdictions where it is offset by the utilization of loss carryforwards that have a full valuation allowance recorded against them, and the benefit recognized by releasing a portion of our uncertain tax position reserve due to the settlement of an ongoing tax audit in the third quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2015, we had $109.6 million in working capital, which represented an increase from $85.1 million at December 31, 2014. Our current ratio was 2.0:1 at September 30, 2015, compared to 1.5:1 at December 31, 2014. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, available cash reserves, and debt capacity under our credit facility. In addition, we could seek to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings, if required, though we make no assumptions that we could raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, our expected operating cash flow and our available debt capacity under our credit facility will be sufficient to finance our working capital needs through at least the next year.

Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $18.2 million at September 30, 2015, compared to $45.9 million at December 31, 2014. Our domestic cash balances are generally used to reduce our outstanding borrowings. Typically, most of our cash balance is maintained by our foreign subsidiaries. From time to time, we may engage in short-term loans from our foreign operations. Our credit agreement also provides for foreign borrowings, if needed. We have not provided for additional U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that qualify for the indefinite reinvestment exception, where we currently do not have plans to repatriate cash in the future and we consider these to be permanently reinvested in the

Table of Contents

operations of such subsidiaries. While most of our foreign earnings qualify, we have provided for additional U.S. income taxes on foreign earnings that do not meet the requirements of the indefinite reinvestment exception. If future events, including material changes in estimates of cash, working capital and long-term investment requirements, necessitate that the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries be distributed, an additional provision for income taxes may apply, which could materially affect our future tax expense.

Related to the execution of our 2012 restructuring plan, we had cash outlays of approximately $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Total cash outlays associated with the plan will be approximately $14 million, of which $13 million has been paid to date.

We had cash outlays of approximately $12.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, related to our 2014 restructuring plan. Total cash outlays associated with the plan will be approximately $26 million, $20 million of which has been paid to date.

Operating activities. Cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $31.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared with $28.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. An increase in normal short-term working capital items, particularly from a decrease in accrued liabilities, contributed to the increase in cash used in operating activities from continuing operations during the current nine month period as compared to the same period of the prior year. Our working capital fluctuates significantly due to changes in accounts receivable (discussed below), as well as the timing of our domestic payroll and accounts payable processing cycles with regard to month-end dates and other seasonal factors. We paid $13.1 million for restructuring-related costs in the first nine months of 2015 compared to $7.7 million in the first nine months of 2014. In 2015, these costs were related to severance expense, primarily in our International segment, professional fees, and real estate-related costs. In 2014, restructuring costs were related to severance expense, primarily in our International segment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and 2014, our domestic operations used $27.6 million and $14.9 million, respectively, of cash from continuing operations while our International operations used $3.7 million and $13.2 million, respectively, during the same time periods. Typically, the seasonality of our business in many European countries results in negative cash from operations in the middle part of the year with improvements in the later portion of the year. Cash flow from European receivables and payables are typically maximized in the fourth quarter.

Changes in accounts receivable can have a significant impact on our cash flow. Items that can affect our cash flow from accounts receivable include: contractual payment terms, client payment patterns (including approval or processing delays and cash management), client mix (public vs. private), fluctuations in the level of IT product sales and the effectiveness of our collection efforts. Many of the individual reasons are outside of our control and, as a result, it is normal for cash flow from accounts receivable to fluctuate from period to period, affecting our liquidity. Consistent with the nature of our business, we periodically resolve disputes with clients who challenge amounts owed to Ciber based on their interpretation of contractual provisions or their perception of the status of work performed. Appropriate reserves against disputed balances are taken when management concludes it is probable that disputed amounts will not be paid.

Total accounts receivable decreased to $172.1 million at September 30, 2015, from $173.5 million at December 31, 2014. Total accounts receivable day’s sales outstanding (“DSO”) increased to 67 days at September 30, 2015, from 57 days at December 31, 2014, an increase of 10 days, compared with DSO of 64 days at September 30, 2014, and 59 days at December 31, 2013, an increase of 5 days. We experienced increased DSO both in North America and International in the first

Table of Contents

three quarters of 2015. This DSO increase is a result of decreased collections and increased unbilled receivables associated with fixed price projects.

Accrued compensation and related liabilities fluctuate from period to period based on several primary factors, including the timing of our normal bi-weekly U.S. payroll cycle and the timing of variable compensation payments. Bonuses are typically accrued throughout the year, and paid either quarterly or annually, based on the applicable bonus program associated with an employee's role and country in which he or she works. As such, bonus payments can fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities typically fluctuate based on when we receive actual vendor invoices and when they are paid. The largest of such items typically relates to vendor payments for IT hardware and software products that we resell and payments to services-related subcontractors.

Investing activities. Spending on property and equipment decreased to $6.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $7.9 million in the same period of 2014. Our capital spending is primarily for technology equipment and software and to support our global employee base, as well as our management and corporate support infrastructure, and for investment in our domestic and off-shore delivery centers. Our investments will fluctuate from period to period.

Financing activities. Typically, our most significant financing activities consist of the borrowings and payments under our ABL Facility, as described below. This primarily fluctuates based on cash provided by, or used in, our domestic operations during the period as the ABL Facility is used for U.S. working capital fluctuations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we had net borrowings on our ABL Facility of $18.7 million, compared with $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We had insignificant net cash inflow and $1.7 million net cash inflow for the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively, for proceeds from employee stock plans, net of the repurchases of shares for minimum employee tax withholding. In the first nine months of 2015 we also purchased $1.7 million of treasury stock under our publicly announced buyback plan. In the second quarter of 2015 we made $5.0 million in payments on the purchase of the noncontrolling interest of one of our foreign subsidiaries. (See Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.)

Credit Agreement. We have an asset-based revolving line of credit of up to $60 million (the “ABL Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The maximum amount available for borrowing at any time under such line of credit is determined according to a borrowing base valuation of eligible account receivables, which was $50.3 million at September 30, 2015. The ABL Facility provides for borrowings in the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Germany and matures on May 7, 2017. As of September 30, 2015, we had $30.0 million outstanding under the ABL Facility. We expect our borrowings to fluctuate based on our working capital needs. Our obligations under the ABL Facility are guaranteed by us and are secured by substantially all of our U.S., Netherlands, United Kingdom, and German assets. There are no specific financial covenants required under the ABL Facility at September 30, 2015, although there are a number of business covenants, including customary limitations on, among other things, indebtedness, liens, investments, guarantees, mergers, dispositions, acquisitions, liquidations, dissolutions, issuances of securities, payments of dividends, loans and advances, and transactions with affiliates. We were in compliance with all such covenants at September 30, 2015.

The ABL Facility can be prepaid in whole or in part at any time. The ABL Facility must be repaid to the extent that any borrowings exceed the maximum availability allowed under the ABL Facility. Under the ABL Facility, U.S. borrowings accrue interest at a rate of the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin ranging from 225 to 275 basis points, or, at our option, a base rate equal to the greatest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) LIBOR plus 1%, and (c) the “prime rate” set by Wells Fargo plus a margin ranging from 125 to 175 basis points. All foreign borrowings accrue interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 225 to 275 basis points, plus certain fees related to compliance with European banking regulations. The interest rates applicable to borrowings under the ABL Facility are subject to increase during an event of default. We are also required to pay an unused line fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% annually on the unused portion of the ABL Facility.

We are required to be in compliance with a minimum trailing 12-month fixed charge coverage ratio if (i) an event of default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) less than 25% of the ABL Facility is available for borrowing, or (iii) less than $15 million is available for borrowing under the ABL Facility. We must then continue to comply with the minimum trailing 12-month fixed charge coverage ratio until (1) no event of default is continuing and (2) at least 25% of the ABL Facility and a minimum of $15 million have been available for borrowing under the ABL Facility for 30 consecutive days. None of the above scenarios were applicable during the third quarter of 2015 and as such we were not required to comply with the minimum trailing 12-month fixed charge coverage ratio.

Table of Contents

basis if (i) an event of default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) less than 30% of the ABL Facility or less than $18 million is available for borrowing under the ABL Facility for five consecutive days, or (iii) less than 25% of the ABL Facility or less than $15 million is available for borrowing under the ABL Facility at any time. Wells Fargo would continue to exercise dominion over our U.S. cash and cash receipts until (1) no event of default is continuing and (2) at least 30% of the ABL Facility and a minimum of $18 million have been available for borrowing under the ABL Facility for 30 consecutive days. In addition, at all times during the term of the ABL Facility, Wells Fargo would have dominion over the cash of the United Kingdom, Dutch, and German borrowers when a balance is outstanding to those entities and would automatically apply such amounts to the ABL Facility on a daily basis. As a result, if we have any outstanding borrowings that are subject to the bank's dominion, such amounts would be classified as a current liability on our balance sheet. At September 30, 2015, we had $0.6 million of borrowings that were subject to the bank's dominion and are classified as a current liability on our balance sheet.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any reportable off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Goodwill—We perform our annual impairment analysis of goodwill as of June 30 each year, or more often if there are potential indicators of impairment present. We test each of our reporting units for goodwill impairment. Our reporting units are the same as our operating divisions and reporting segments. The goodwill impairment test requires a two-step process. The first step consists of comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then it is not considered impaired and no further analysis is required. If step one indicates that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then impairment potentially exists and the second step is performed to measure the amount of goodwill impairment. Goodwill impairment exists when the estimated implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill is less than its carrying value.

We compared the carrying values of our International and North America reporting units to their estimated fair values at June 30, 2015. We estimated the fair value of each reporting unit based on a weighting of both the income approach and the market approach. The discounted cash flows for each reporting unit serve as the primary basis for the income approach, and were based on discrete financial forecasts developed by management. Cash flows beyond the discrete forecast period of five years were estimated using the perpetuity growth method calculation. The annual average revenue growth rates forecasted for our reporting units for the first five years of our projections were approximately 3%. We have projected a minor amount of operating profit margin improvement based on expected margin benefits from certain internal initiatives. The terminal value was calculated assuming projected growth rates of 3% after five years, which reflects our estimate of minimum long-term growth in IT spending. The income approach valuations also included each reporting unit’s estimated weighted average cost of capital, which were 16.0% and 15.0% for International and North America, respectively. The market approach applied pricing multiples derived from publicly-traded companies that are comparable to the respective reporting units to determine their values. For our International and North America reporting units, we used enterprise value/EBITDA multiples of approximately 8 and 6, respectively, under the market approach using the guideline public company method and approximately 13 and 8, respectively, under the market approach using the guideline transaction method in order to value each of our reporting units. In addition, the fair value under the market approach using the guideline public company method included a control premium of 30%. The control premium was determined based on a review of comparative market transactions. Publicly-available information regarding our market capitalization was also considered in assessing the reasonableness of the cumulative fair values of our reporting units.

Table of Contents

impairment was indicated. We have updated our cash flow forecasts and our other assumptions used to calculate the estimated fair value of our reporting units to account for our beliefs and expectations of the current business environment. While we believe our estimates are appropriate based on our view of current business trends, no assurance can be provided that impairment charges will not be required in the future.

We currently have a remaining goodwill balance of $259.3 million at September 30, 2015. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. In estimating the fair value of the reporting units for the purpose of our annual or periodic goodwill impairment analysis, we make estimates and judgments about the future cash flows of the reporting units, including estimated growth rates and assumptions about the economic environment. Although our cash flow forecasts are based on assumptions that are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying reporting units, there is significant judgment in determining the cash flows attributable to these reporting units. We consider our market capitalization, adjusted for unallocated monetary assets such as cash, debt, a control premium and other factors determined by management. As a result, several factors could result in the impairment of a material amount of our goodwill balance in future periods, including, but not limited to:

(1) Failure of Ciber to reach our internal forecasts could impact our ability to achieve our forecasted levels of cash flows and reduce the estimated fair values of our reporting units;

(2) A decline in our stock price and resulting market capitalization, if we determine that the decline is sustained and is indicative of a reduction in the fair value of either of our reporting units below their carrying values.

Adverse changes in our market capitalization, long-term forecasts and industry growth rates could result in additional impairment charges being recorded in future periods for goodwill attributed to either of our reporting units. Any future impairment charges would adversely affect our results of operations for those periods.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, there were no material changes in our market risk exposure. For a complete discussion of our market risk associated with foreign currency risk and interest rate risk as of December 31, 2014, see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures — During the fiscal period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and

15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls — There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Table of Contents

As previously reported, a lawsuit titled CamSoft Data Systems, Inc. v. Southern Electronics, et al., was filed initially in October 2009 in Louisiana state court against numerous defendants, including Ciber. The lawsuit was subsequently removed to federal court in the Middle District of Louisiana and the complaint was amended to include additional defendants and causes of action including antitrust claims, civil RICO claims, unfair trade practices, trade secret, fraud, unjust enrichment, and conspiracy claims. The suit involves many of the same parties involved in related litigation in the state court in New Orleans, which was concluded in 2009 when Ciber settled the New Orleans suit with the plaintiffs, Active Solutions and Southern Electronics, who were CamSoft's former alleged joint venturers and are now co-defendants in the current lawsuit. Ciber is vigorously defending the allegations. Proceedings in the federal appellate courts concluded in January 2015 with the matter remanded back to state court. Based on information known to us, we have established a reserve that we believe represents a reasonably possible estimate of the loss. We are unable to predict the outcome of this litigation.

For information regarding our potential risks and uncertainties, please refer to "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
