Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)	Basis of Presentation

GP Strategies Corporation is a global performance improvement solutions provider of training, e-Learning solutions, management consulting and engineering services. References in this report to “GP Strategies,” the “Company,” “we” and “our” are to GP Strategies Corporation and its subsidiaries, collectively.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2016 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 have not been audited, but have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, this interim information includes all material adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation. The results for the 2016 interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.


(2)	Accounting Standards Issued

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. The ASU’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 was originally effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within that period, beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption was not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date, to defer the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after that date and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of annual reporting periods and interim periods within that period beginning after December 15, 2016. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt the ASU. We are still in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. This standard will require all leases with durations greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We believe adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated balance sheets. Although we have not completed our assessment, we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-02 to change the recognition and measurement of lease expense within the consolidated statements of operations.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This standard makes several modifications to Topic 718 related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. The standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public companies beginning after December 15, 2016, although early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

(3)	Significant Customers & Concentration of Credit Risk

Revenue from the financial services & insurance industry accounted for approximately 22% and 24% of our consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, we have a concentration of revenue from a single financial services customer, which accounted for approximately 15% of our consolidated revenue for both of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. As of March 31, 2016, billed and unbilled accounts receivable from a single financial services customer totaled $28.3 million, or 22%, of our consolidated accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts balances.

No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015 or consolidated accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2016.


(4)	Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of common stock equivalent shares that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

Our dilutive common stock equivalent shares consist of stock options and restricted stock units computed under the treasury stock method, using the average market price during the period. The following table presents instruments which were not dilutive and were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS in each period, as well as the dilutive common stock equivalent shares which were included in the computation of diluted EPS:

(5)	Acquisitions

Jencal Training

On March 1, 2016, we acquired the share capital of Jencal Training Limited (Jencal Training) and its subsidiary B2B Engage Limited (B2B), an independent provider of vocational skills training in the United Kingdom. The upfront purchase price was $2.7 million in cash and is subject to a working capital adjustment which we expect will be finalized and agreed upon with the sellers in the second quarter of 2016. In addition, the purchase agreement requires up to an additional $0.4 million of consideration, contingent upon attaining incremental funding levels under a customer contract prior to July 31, 2016. The preliminary purchase price allocation for the acquisition primarily includes $1.4 million of customer-related intangible assets which are being amortized over four years from the acquisition date and $1.7 million of goodwill. None of the goodwill recorded for financial statement purposes is deductible for tax purposes. The acquired Jencal Training business is included in the Learning Solutions segment and the results of its operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements beginning March 1, 2016. The pro-forma impact of the acquisition is not material to our results of operations.

Contingent Consideration

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 requires that contingent consideration be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date and be re-measured each reporting period with subsequent adjustments recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. We estimate the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities based on financial projections of the acquired companies and estimated probabilities of achievement and discount the liabilities to present value using a weighted-average cost of capital. Contingent consideration is valued using significant inputs that are not observable in the market which are defined as Level 3 inputs pursuant to fair value measurement accounting. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, there is significant judgment involved. At each reporting date, the contingent consideration obligation is revalued to estimated fair value, and changes in fair value subsequent to the acquisitions are reflected in income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations, and could cause a material impact to, and volatility in, our operating results. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods, changes in the timing and amount of revenue and/or earnings estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria.

Below is a summary of the potential maximum contingent consideration we may be required to pay in connection with completed acquisitions during 2016 as of March 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):



	Original range	Maximum payments due in
	of potential undiscounted	Maximum payments due in
Acquisition:	payments	2016
Jencal Training	$0 - $429	$	429
Effective Companies	$0 - $5,280	$	2,640

Below is a summary of the changes in the recorded amount of contingent consideration liabilities from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):



	Liability as of December 31,		Additions		Change in Fair Value of Contingent		Foreign Currency		Liability as of March 31,
Acquisition:	2015		(Payments)		Consideration		Translation		2016
Jencal Training	$	—	$	294	$	—	$	9	$	303
Effective Companies	2,381		—		159		100		2,640
Total	$	2,381	$	294	$	159	$	109	$	2,943

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, contingent consideration is considered a current liability and is included in accounts payable of $2.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

(7)	Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize compensation expense for stock-based compensation awards issued to employees that are expected to vest. Compensation cost is based on the fair value of awards as of the grant date.

The following table summarizes the pre-tax stock-based compensation expense included in reported net income (in thousands):



	Three months ended March 31,
	2016		2015

Restricted stock units	598		439
Board of Directors stock grants	82		111
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	727	$	612

Pursuant to our 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”), we may grant awards of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock, stock units, performance shares, performance units and other incentives payable in cash or in shares of our common stock to officers, employees or members of the Board of Directors. As of March 31, 2016, we had non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units outstanding under these plans as discussed below.

Non-Qualified Stock Options

Summarized information for the Company’s non-qualified stock options is as follows:



	Number of options		Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average remaining contractual term	Aggregate intrinsic value

Restricted Stock Units

In addition to stock options, we issue restricted stock units to key employees and members of the Board of Directors based on meeting certain service goals. The stock units vest to the recipients at various dates, up to five years, based on fulfilling service requirements. We recognize the value of the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant as compensation expense over the requisite service period. Upon vesting, the stock units are settled in shares of our common stock. Summarized share information for our restricted stock units is as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2016		Weighted average grant date fair value
	(In shares)		(In dollars)
Outstanding and unvested, beginning of period	274,140		$	28.74
Granted	137,937		26.93
Vested	(2,050	)	15.36
Forfeited	(2,016	)	26.50
Outstanding and unvested, end of period	408,011		$	28.21

On March 29, 2016, the Compensation Committee granted 71,918 performance-based restricted stock units ("PSU's") to certain officers of the Company. Vesting of the PSU's is contingent upon the employee's continued employment and the Company's achievement of certain performance goals during a three-year performance period. The performance goals are established by the Compensation Committee and for the 2016-2018 performance period are based on financial targets, including an average annual return on invested capital (“ROIC”) and average annual growth in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted to exclude the effect of acquisitions, dispositions, and certain other nonrecurring or extraordinary items) (“Adjusted EBITDA”). We recognize compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, for PSU's on a straight-line basis over the performance period based on the probable outcome of achievement of the financial targets. At the end of each reporting period, we estimate the number of PSU's expected to vest, based on the probability and extent to which the performance goals will be met, and take into account these estimates when calculating the expense for the period. If the number of shares expected to be earned changes during the performance period, we will make a cumulative adjustment to compensation expense based on the revised number of shares expected to be earned.

Also on March 29, 2016 in conjunction with the grant of PSU's, the Compensation Committee granted a total of 40,679 time-based restricted stock units to the same officers of the Company. Vesting of the time-based restricted stock units is subject to the employee's continued employment through December 31, 2018.

(8)	Debt

On September 2, 2014, we entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Financing and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility up to a maximum principal amount of $65 million expiring on October 31, 2018 and for a term loan in the principal amount of $40 million maturing on October 31, 2017, and is secured by substantially all of our assets.

The maximum interest rate on the Credit Agreement is the daily one-month LIBOR market index rate plus 2.50%. Based on our financial performance, the interest rate can be reduced to a minimum rate of the daily one-month LIBOR market index rate plus 1.25%, with the rate being determined based on our maximum leverage ratio for the preceding four quarters. Each unpaid advance on the revolving loan will bear interest until repaid. The term loan is payable in monthly installments equal to $1.1 million plus applicable interest, beginning on November 1, 2014 and ending on October 31, 2017. We may prepay the term loan or the revolving loan, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions. Amounts repaid or prepaid on the term loan may not be reborrowed.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict our and our subsidiaries’ (subject to certain exceptions) ability to, among other things, grant liens, make investments, incur indebtedness, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets or make acquisitions. We are also required to maintain compliance with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. We were in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2016, our total long-term debt outstanding under the term loan was $21.1 million. In addition, there were $33.1 million of borrowings outstanding and $29.4 million of available borrowings under the Credit Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the weighted average interest rate on our borrowings was 2.2%.


(9)	Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $2.2 million, or an effective income tax rate of 36.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $2.6 million, or an effective income tax rate of 39.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in the effective income tax rate is due to a larger portion of our income being derived from foreign jurisdictions which are taxed at lower rates. Income tax expense for the quarterly periods is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate which includes the U.S. federal, state and local, and non-U.S. statutory rates, permanent differences, and other items that may have an impact on income tax expense.

An uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities that have full knowledge of all relevant information. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest and penalties related to income taxes are accounted for as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2016, we had no uncertain tax positions reflected on our consolidated balance sheet. The Company files income tax returns in U.S. federal, state and local jurisdictions, and various non-U.S. jurisdictions, and is subject to audit by tax authorities in those jurisdictions. Tax years 2012 through 2014 remain open to examination by these tax jurisdictions, and earlier years remain open to examination in certain of these jurisdictions which have longer statutes of limitations.

Acquisition

Operating Highlights

Three Months ended March 31, 2016 Compared to the Three Months ended March 31, 2015

Our revenue increased $0.5 million or 0.4% during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. The net increase is due to a $7.1 million revenue increase in our Sandy Training & Marketing segment, offset by declines in our other three segments and a $1.9 million revenue decrease due to unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates during the first quarter. The changes in revenue and gross profit are discussed in further detail below by segment.

Operating income, the components of which are discussed below, decreased $1.5 million or 20.9% to $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $7.3 million for the first quarter of 2015. The net decrease in operating income was primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease in gross profit and a $0.4 million increase in SG&A expenses, which are discussed in more detail below.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we had income before income tax expense of $6.0 million compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Net income was $3.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to net income of $4.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 16.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to 17.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in shares outstanding is primarily due to the repurchase of shares of our outstanding common stock in the open market during 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.

Revenue



(Dollars in thousands)	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2016		2015
Learning Solutions	$	49,906	$	51,829
Professional & Technical Services	25,829		29,897
Sandy Training & Marketing	21,824		14,729
Performance Readiness Solutions	18,197		18,798
	$	115,756	$	115,253

Learning Solutions revenue decreased $1.9 million or 3.7% during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. The decrease in revenue is due to the following:


•	A $1.5 million decrease in revenue due to unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates; and


•	A $0.8 million net decrease in e-Learning content development and training business process outsourcing (BPO) services.

These decreases were partially offset by a $0.4 million revenue increase attributable to the Jencal Training acquisition completed on March 1, 2016.

Professional & Technical Services revenue decreased $4.1 million or 13.6% during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. The net decrease in revenue is due to the following:


•	A $1.9 million decrease in training and technical services for oil and gas clients;


•	A $0.9 million net decrease in training and professional services for energy clients;


•	A $0.6 million decrease due to the completion of projects in our alternative fuels business;


•	A $0.3 million net decrease in engineering and technical training services primarily due to a decline in revenue from U.S. government clients due to project completions in 2015; and


•	A $0.4 million decrease in revenue due to unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Sandy Training & Marketing revenue increased $7.1 million or 48.2% during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. The net increase is primarily due to a $5.3 million increase in magazine publications revenue due to a new publication contract with an automotive customer which began in the second quarter of 2015 and a $1.8 million net increase in training services for automotive customers.

Performance Readiness Solutions revenue decreased $0.6 million or 3.2% during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. The net decrease is primarily due to a $0.9 million decline in platform adoption training services, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in leadership and organizational development services during the first quarter of 2016.

	$	17,927	15.5	%	$	19,135	16.6	%

Learning Solutions gross profit of $9.7 million or 19.4% of revenue for the first quarter of 2016 increased by $1.4 million or 16.3% when compared to gross profit of $8.3 million or 16.1% of revenue for the first quarter of 2015. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to an overall increase in gross profit and margin and a one-time cost reduction related to a UK government funded skills training contract during the first quarter of 2016. The net gross profit increase was partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in gross profit due to unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Professional & Technical Services gross profit of $3.9 million or 15.0% of revenue for the first quarter of 2016 decreased by $2.5 million or 39.4% when compared to gross profit of $6.4 million or 21.5% of revenue for the first quarter of 2015. The decrease in gross profit and margin is primarily due to a decline in higher margin revenue streams in this segment and a loss in our alternative fuels business during the first quarter of 2016.

Sandy Training & Marketing gross profit of $2.5 million or 11.2% of revenue for the first quarter of 2016 increased by $0.5 million or 24.0% when compared to gross profit of $2.0 million or 13.4% of revenue for the first quarter of 2015 due to the revenue increase noted above. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased during the first quarter of 2016 primarily due to an increase in lower margin publication revenue compared to the first quarter of 2015.

Performance Readiness Solutions gross profit of $1.9 million or 10.4% of revenue for the first quarter of 2016 decreased by $0.5 million or 21.3% when compared to gross profit of $2.4 million or 12.8% of revenue for the first quarter of 2015. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to an increase in estimated costs at completion on certain fixed price contracts.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.4 million or 3.2% from $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2015 to $12.0 million for the first quarter of 2016. The increase in SG&A expenses is due to a $0.3 million increase in labor and benefits expense and a $0.3 million net increase in various other expenses, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in amortization expense during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to certain intangible assets related to previously completed acquisitions becoming fully amortized.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

We recognized net losses on the change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions of $0.2 million in the first quarters of both 2016 and 2015. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations result from changes in discount periods, changes in the timing and amount of revenue and/or earnings estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria. See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the potential contingent consideration payments and the changes in fair value of the related liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $0.1 million from $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2015 to $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2016 primarily due to a decrease in long-term debt in 2016 compared to 2015.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income was $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to other expense of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2015 and consists primarily of income from a joint venture and foreign currency gains and losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we had net foreign currency gains of $0.3 million compared to net foreign currency losses of $0.5 million in the corresponding period in 2015. The foreign currency gains and losses primarily relate to the effect of exchange rates on intercompany receivables and payables and third party receivables and payables that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our legal entities.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2015. The effective income tax rate was 36.7% and 39.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate during the first quarter of 2016 is primarily due to an increase in income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates. Income tax expense for the quarterly periods is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate which includes the U.S. federal, state and local, and non-U.S. statutory rates, permanent differences, and other items that may have an impact on income tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

Our working capital was $35.4 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $40.3 million at December 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2016 we had $33.1 million of short-term borrowings and $21.1 million of long-term debt outstanding. We believe that cash generated from operations and borrowings available under our Credit Agreement ($29.4 million of available borrowings as of March 31, 2016) will be sufficient to fund our working capital and other requirements for at least the next twelve months.

As of March 31, 2016, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held outside of the U.S. by foreign subsidiaries was $16.5 million. At the present time, we do not anticipate repatriating these balances to fund domestic operations. We would be required to accrue for and pay taxes in the U.S. in the event we repatriated these funds.

Stock Repurchase Program

We have a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time in the open market, subject to prevailing business and market conditions and other factors. During the three ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we repurchased approximately 181,000 and 10,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock in the open market for a total cost of approximately $4.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2016, there was approximately $9.7 million available for future repurchases under the buyback program.

Acquisition-Related Payments

In connection with previously completed acquisitions, we may be required to pay up to an additional $2.6 million in contingent consideration in 2016 for the Effective Companies acquisition and up to an additional $0.4 million of contingent consideration for the Jencal Training acquisition.

Significant Customers & Concentration of Credit Risk

We have a market concentration of revenue in both the automotive sector and financial services & insurance sector. Revenue from the automotive industry accounted for approximately 20% and 13% of our consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, we have a concentration of revenue from a single automotive customer, which accounted for approximately 13% and 7% of our consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of March 31, 2016, accounts receivable from a single automotive customer totaled $10.3 million, or 12%, of our consolidated accounts receivable balance. Revenue from the financial services & insurance industry accounted for approximately 22% and 24% of our consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, we have a concentration of revenue from a single financial services customer, which accounted for approximately 15% of our consolidated revenue for both of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. As of March 31, 2016, billed and unbilled accounts receivable from a single financial services customer totaled $28.3 million, or 22%, of our consolidated accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts balances. No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015 or consolidated accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2016.

Cash Flows

Three Months ended March 31, 2016 Compared to the Three Months ended March 31, 2015

Our cash and cash equivalents balance decreased $4.6 million from $21.0 million as of December 31, 2015 to $16.5 million as of March 31, 2016. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended March 31, 2016 resulted from cash provided by operating activities of $8.6 million, cash used in investing activities of $2.9 million, and cash used in financing activities of $10.3 million.

Cash provided by operating activities was $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2015. The increase in cash is primarily due to a net favorable change in working capital balances during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

Cash used in investing activities was $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $0.6 million for the same period in 2015. The increase in cash used is due to the completion of the Jencal Training acquisition in March 2016 in which we used $2.3 million of cash, net of cash acquired.

Cash used in financing activities was $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2015. The increase in cash used in financing activities is primarily due a $3.9 million increase in share repurchases and $1.0 million of repayments of short-term borrowings in the first quarter of 2016 compared to an increase in borrowings of $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2015.

Debt

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict our and our subsidiaries’ (subject to certain exceptions) ability to, among other things, grant liens, make investments, incur indebtedness, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, make acquisitions. We are also required to maintain compliance with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.5 to 1.0 and a maximum leverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2016, our fixed coverage charge ratio was 1.9 to 1.0 and our leverage ratio was 1.3 to 1.0, all of which were in compliance with the Credit Agreement.

As of March 31, 2016, our total long-term debt outstanding under the term loan was $21.1 million. In addition, there were $33.1 million of borrowings outstanding and $29.4 million of available borrowings under the Credit Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the weighted average interest rate on our borrowings was 2.2%.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

As of March 31, 2016, we did not have any off-balance sheet commitments except for operating leases and letters of credit entered into in the normal course of business.

Accounting Standards Issued

We discuss recently issued accounting standards in Note 2 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward looking statements. Forward–looking statements are not statements of historical facts, but rather reflect our current expectations concerning future events and results. We use words such as “expects,” “intends,” “believes,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “plans” and similar expressions to indicate forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean a statement is not forward-looking. Because these forward-looking statements are based upon management’s expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, those factors set forth in Item 1A - Risk Factors of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and those other risks and uncertainties detailed in our periodic reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution that these risk factors may not be exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risk factors emerge from time to time. We cannot predict these new risk factors, nor can we assess the effect, if any, of the new risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

If any one or more of these expectations and assumptions proves incorrect, actual results will likely differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Even if all of the foregoing assumptions and expectations prove correct, actual results may still differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements as a result of factors we may not anticipate or that may be beyond our control. While we cannot assess the future impact that any of these differences could have on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows or the market price of shares of our common stock, the differences could be significant. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements made by us, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are cautioned not to unduly rely on such forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented in this report.
