PART I

Item 1. Business

Available Information

WageWorks, Inc. was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in 2000. Our website address is www.wageworks.com. We make available on our website, free of charge, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Our SEC reports can be accessed through the Investor Relations section of our website. The information found on our website is not part of this or any other report we file with or furnish to the SEC. As used herein, “WageWorks,” “we,” “us” and “our” and similar terms include WageWorks, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Overview

We are a leader in administering Consumer-Directed Benefits, or CDBs, which empower employees to save money on taxes and provide corporate tax advantages for employers. We are solely dedicated to administering CDBs, including pre-tax spending accounts, such as Health Savings Accounts, or HSAs, health and dependent care Flexible Spending Accounts, or FSAs, Health Reimbursement Arrangements, or HRAs, as well as Commuter Benefit Services, including transit and parking programs, wellness programs, Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, or COBRA, and other employee benefits.

Our CDB programs assist employees and their families in saving money by using pre-tax dollars to pay for certain expenses related to their healthcare, dependent care and commuter expenses. Employers financially benefit from our programs through reduced payroll taxes. Under our FSA, HSA and commuter programs, employee participants contribute funds from their pre-tax income to pay for qualified out-of-pocket healthcare expenses not fully covered by insurance, such as co-pays, deductibles and over-the-counter medical products or for commuting costs.

We price our services based on the estimated number and types of claims, whether payment processing and client support activities will be provided within or outside of the United States, the estimated number of calls to our customer support center and any specific client requirements. In addition, we derive a portion of our revenues from interchange fees that we receive when employee participants use the prepaid debit cards we provide to them for healthcare and commuter expenses.

At January 31, 2017, we had approximately 6.5 million employee participants from over 100,000 employer clients. In 2016, employee participants used approximately 5.9 million WageWorks prepaid debit cards. Our participant counts do not include our TransitChek Basic program participants, as that fare media is shipped directly to employers which then distribute the products to their employee’s based on demand. We believe that January 31 is the most appropriate point-in-time measurement date for annual plan metrics. Although plan changes and the entry and exit of employers and participants from

Table of Contents

our programs are usually decided late in the calendar year during open enrollment to be effective on January 1, it is not unusual for employers to submit updated participant files in early January. While updates can be delayed past January, any changes from such late updates are usually minimal. Consequently, we believe the January 31 point-in-time measurement date is the most appropriate date to use as a baseline.

Our Services

Health Savings Accounts

We administer HSAs for employers that allow employee participants to invest funds to be used for qualified healthcare expenses at any time without federal tax liability or penalty. In order to be eligible for an HSA, an employee must be enrolled in a qualified High Deductible Health Plan, or HDHP, that is HSA-compatible and not have any other impermissible coverage. The funds in the HSAs are exempt from payroll taxes for employers and both employees and employers can make contributions to an HSA. Withdrawals for non-medical expenses are treated similarly to those in an individual retirement account, specifically, such withdrawals may provide tax advantages if taken after retirement age, and may incur penalties if taken earlier. HSA funds are held by a custodian, which accumulate year-to-year if not spent and are portable if a participant leaves his employer. Our HSA programs are designed to offer employers a choice of third-party custodian as well as a variety of investment options within each custodial offering that enables employers the opportunity to explore a broader assortment of funds to offer their employees.

Flexible Spending Accounts

Healthcare

We also offer FSAs, which are employer-sponsored CDBs that enable employees to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible healthcare expenses that are not generally covered by insurance, such as co-pays, deductibles and over-the-counter medical products, as well as vision expenses, orthodontia, medical devices and autism treatments. Employers benefit from payroll tax savings on the pre-tax FSA contributions made by the employee. As an example, based on our average employee participant’s annual FSA contribution of approximately $1,250 and an assumed personal combined federal and state income tax rate of 35%, an employee participant will reduce his or her taxes by approximately $438 per year by participating in an FSA. Our employer clients also realize payroll tax (i.e., FICA and Medicare) savings on the pre-tax contributions made by their employees. In the above FSA example, an employer client would save approximately $52 per participant per year, even after the payment of our fees.

The IRS imposes a limit, indexed to inflation, on pre-tax dollar employee contributions made to a healthcare FSAs. The IRS also allows a carryover of up to $500 that does not count against or otherwise affect the indexed salary reduction limit applicable to each plan year. Employers are able to contribute additional amounts in excess of this statutory limit, and may choose to do so in an effort to mitigate the impact of rising healthcare costs on their employees.

Dependent Care

We also administer FSA programs for dependent care plans. These plans allow employees to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible dependent care expenses, which typically include child care or day care expenses but may also include expenses incurred from adult and elder care. Current laws and regulations impose a statutory limit on the amount of pre-tax dollars employees can contribute to dependent care FSAs with no carryover allowed. Like healthcare FSAs, employers can also contribute funds to employees’ dependent care FSAs, subject to the statutory annual limit on total contributions. As with healthcare FSAs, employers realize payroll tax savings on the pre-tax dependent care FSA contributions made by their employees.

Health Reimbursement Arrangements

We offer employer-funded HRAs. Under HRAs, employers provide their employees with a specified amount of reimbursement funds that are available to help employees defray their out-of-pocket healthcare expenses, such as deductibles, co-insurance and co-payments. HRAs may only be funded by employers and, while there is no limitation on how much employers may contribute, employers are required to establish the programs in such a way as to prevent discrimination in favor of highly compensated employees. HRAs must either be considered an excepted benefit (for example, a dental-only HRA or a vision-only HRA), retiree HRA or be integrated with another group health plan. HRAs can be customized by employers so employers have the freedom to determine what expenses are eligible for reimbursement under these arrangements. At the end of the plan year, employers have the option to allow all, or a portion, of the unused funds to roll over and accumulate year-to-

Table of Contents

year if not spent. All amounts paid by employers into HRAs are deductible for tax purposes by the employer and tax-free to the employee.

Commuter Programs

We administer pre-tax commuter benefit programs. Employers are permitted to provide employees with commuter benefits including; qualified parking, transit passes, vanpooling and bicycle commuting reimbursement. The maximum monthly federal (and sometimes state) tax free exclusion is adjusted for inflation. The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015, which was signed into law on December 18, 2015, increased the maximum pre-tax monthly limit for transit and vanpooling to be the same as parking, which was $255 for 2016.

COBRA

We offer COBRA continuation services to employer clients to meet the employer’s obligation to make available continuation of coverage for participants who are no longer eligible for the employer’s COBRA covered benefits which includes medical, dental, vision, HRAs and certain healthcare FSAs. COBRA requires employers to make health coverage available for terminated employees for a period of up to 36 months post-termination. As part of our COBRA program, we offer a direct billing service where former employee participants pay WageWorks directly versus to their employers for coverage they elect to continue. We handle the accounting and customer service for these separated employees, as well as interfacing with the carrier regarding the employees’ eligibility.

Our Clients

As of January 31, 2017, we had over 100,000 employer clients across a broad range of industries with approximately 6.5 million participating employees in all 50 states. Our employer clients include many of the Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies.

In addition, in March, 2016 we were selected by the United States Office of Personnel Management, or OPM, to administer its Federal Flexible Spending Account Program, or FSAFEDS. This new relationship provides eligible Federal employees access to our advanced technology platform and premium service capabilities. Service to existing participants had started and transition of all participants was completed during the third quarter of 2016. In addition, the United States Postal Service became a member of the OPM contract during the first quarter of 2017.

Our Technology Platforms

We run our services primarily on three enterprise platforms that have been designed to be highly scalable based on an on-demand delivery model that employer clients and their employee participants may access through a standard web browser on any internet-enabled device, including computers, smart phones, and other mobile devices such as tablet computers. Our on-demand delivery model eliminates the need for our employer clients to install and maintain hardware and software in order to support CDB programs and enables us to rapidly implement product enhancements across our entire user base. We closely monitor utilization of all aspects of our platforms for capacity planning purposes. Our existing infrastructure has been designed with sufficient capacity to meet our current and planned future needs.

The majority of our accounts run on our proprietary platform, which we call our v5 platform. We generally use our v5 platform for medium-sized and enterprise clients. Our v5 platform supports all account administrative functions and provides integration with the systems used by employer clients, payment networks, health plans and key suppliers. Our v5 platform features a flexible, rules-based engine that includes multi-wallet functionality and is highly configurable to accommodate custom client plan designs and service requests. This multi-wallet functionality allows us to include more than one type of healthcare account (FSA, HRA and HSA) on one card, and helps ensure that funds that are otherwise subject to forfeiture at the end of a plan year are used first to pay for eligible expenses.

We also operate a technology platform known as WinFlexOne, which has been specifically designed and enhanced to address the needs of small-and medium-sized business, or SMBs. While the overall features and capabilities of WinFlexOne are comparable to v5, WinFlexOne utilizes a simpler set of interfaces and product configurations that better accommodate the more limited administrative capabilities and needs of small employers.

Our third primary technology platform, known as Complink, is used to provide COBRA and direct bill services to our SMB and enterprise clients. This feature-rich, integrated platform automates COBRA and direct bill administration activities and operations, and helps to ensure the administration of these programs is in compliance with applicable laws.

In 2016, we continued to develop and implement new features to enhance the participant and client user experience on our enterprise platform. These efforts touched all areas, including the participant website, mobile application, or mobile app, client website, reporting, plan design and administration.

Operations

Operation Support Services

We provide operational support services to our clients and our cross-functional teams including customer support and claims processing. We believe our strict quality standards differentiate us from our competitors and enable us to attract and maintain a broad base of loyal customers. Our client support groups include; customer support, claims servicing, operations support and professional services teams.

Our customer support team handles all incoming interactions from our employee participants, and is responsible for resolving any issues they may encounter. The team serviced approximately 5.0 million calls in 2016. Our claims servicing team works directly with providers or participants and reviews, adjudicates and processes claims for payment or reimbursement. In 2016, the claims servicing team handled more than 10 million claims and card use verification forms.

Our operations support team processes and coordinates activities, delivers healthcare and commuter cards to participants and ensures that prepaid funds and reimbursement payments are accurate. In 2016, our operations team delivered approximately 5.9 million healthcare and commuter prepaid debit cards, and we fulfill over 12.5 million commuter orders during the calendar year.

Lastly, our professional services team is responsible for coordinating all activities related to the implementation, transition and on-boarding of new employer clients, assisting our existing clients with the addition of new services to their accounts and transitioning clients that we acquire from portfolio purchases to our platforms.

Employer Relationship Management

Each employer client is regionally aligned to an account team with an experienced relationship manager. Our relationship managers act as a client’s single point of contact and are trained on all of our account offerings, working closely with our internal partners and subject matter experts to understand how regulatory or operational changes may impact a particular program or procedure.

We enhance the employer client enrollment process by providing tools such as educational information, webinars and onsite support to help facilitate open enrollment and drive employee participation. We also provide consultation services to employer clients which include providing robust data regarding spend patterns, participation and service utilization, online claims submissions and participant feedback.

Our Employer Relationship Management team also ensures that any platform or product changes, such as website or service enhancements, online claims processing, or the launch of our mobile application are properly communicated and adopted by our clients. The team also works to keep our commuter client’s employee participants well informed about any rate changes, new pricing schemes or new technologies as we have relationships with a significant number of regional transit authorities.

Sales and Business Development

We grow our employer client base through our various sales channels and through other business development efforts.

Sales

We sell our CDB programs to our employer clients through direct and indirect sales channels. Each of these approaches targets a distinct group of clients. Our average sales cycle ranges from approximately two months for smaller opportunities to over a year for large institutional clients and significant new indirect business.

Table of Contents

Our direct sales force targets Fortune 1000 companies, which we refer to as enterprise clients, and generates new large account relationships through employer prospecting. Our indirect sales channel consists of carriers, channel partnerships, private exchange partners, institutional brokers and other third parties who refer or resell our CDB programs.

Our channel partnerships usually involve an existing provider agreeing to transition its CDB clients to us over a defined period of time for an agreed upon purchase price. These channel partnerships also have a resale and referral component to them so we stand to derive additional opportunities from these arrangements. The private exchange marketplace offers another opportunity for us to sell our CDB programs to companies of all sizes that participate in such exchanges. Our broker relationships provide another avenue for us to market and sell our CDB programs.

Business Development

In addition to our sales channels, we utilize portfolio purchases as a business development strategy to broaden our employer client base and to acquire new employer clients. Since 2007, we have purchased CDB portfolios of seven third-party administrators, or TPAs and completed three acquisitions. In connection with these portfolio purchases, we have leveraged the ease of integration and efficiencies afforded by our on-demand software platforms and cross-sold additional CDB products and services to many acquired employer clients. There are several hundred regional TPA portfolios that we continually monitor and evaluate in order to maintain a robust pipeline of potential candidates for purchase.

Government Regulation

Our business is subject to extensive, complex and rapidly changing federal and state laws and regulations. We have implemented and continue to enhance compliance programs and policies to monitor and address the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to our operations, including dedicated compliance personnel and training programs. For additional information regarding laws and regulations impacting our business, refer to Part I, Item 1, “Risk Factors,” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Competition

The market for CDBs, as well as COBRA and direct bill services is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and fragmented. Key categories of competitors include national CDB specialists, health insurance carriers, human resource consulting firms, payroll providers, small regional TPAs, and commercial banks.

We believe our focus on CDB and benefit continuation programs, our high quality service and our highly scalable delivery model are our key competitive advantages in the market.

Intellectual Property

Our success depends in part on our ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. To accomplish this, we rely on a combination of patent laws, trade secrets, including know-how, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements, copyright laws, trademarks, intellectual property licenses and other contractual rights to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our technology. We have one issued patent which expires in 2022.

Despite our efforts to preserve and protect our proprietary and intellectual property rights, unauthorized third parties may attempt to copy, reverse engineer, or otherwise obtain portions of our products. Competitors may attempt to develop similar products that could compete in the same market as our products. Unauthorized disclosure of our confidential information by our employees or third parties could occur.

Third-party infringement claims are also possible in our industry, especially as software functionality and features expand, evolve, and overlap with other industry segments. Current and future competitors, as well as non-practicing patent holders, could claim at any time that some or all of our products infringe on patents they now hold or might obtain, or be issued in the future.

Employees

At December 31, 2016, we had 2,167 employees, including 1,951 full-time employees, 13 part-time employees and 203 temporary or seasonal employees. There are 134 employees located in our Northern California headquarters and the remainder are located in our various other offices throughout the U.S. or work remotely from various locations. None of our employees

Table of Contents

are currently represented by labor unions or are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with respect to his or her employment. To date, we have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

Legal Proceedings

From time-to-time, we are subject to various legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of our business activities. In addition, from time-to-time, third parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims against us in the form of letters and other forms of communication. As of December 31, 2016, we are not a party to any litigation whereby the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, prospects, cash flows, financial position or brand.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below together with the other information set forth in this report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results. The risks described below are not the only risks facing our company. Risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. If any of the following risks is realized, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline.

Our business is dependent upon the availability of tax-advantaged Consumer-Directed Benefits to employers and employees and any diminution in, elimination of, or change in the availability of these benefits would materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.

Our business fundamentally depends on employer and employee demand for tax-advantaged Consumer-Directed Benefits, or CDBs. Any diminution in or elimination of the availability of CDBs for employees would materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects. In addition, incentives for employers to offer CDBs may also be reduced or eliminated by changes in laws that result in employers no longer realizing financial gain from the implementation of these benefits. If employers cease to offer CDB programs or reduce the number of programs they offer to their employees, our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects would also be materially adversely affected. We are not aware of any reliable statistics on the growth of CDB programs and cannot assure you that participation in CDB programs will grow.

In addition, if the payroll tax savings employers currently realize from their employees’ utilization of CDBs become reduced or unavailable, employers may be less inclined to offer these programs to their employees. If the tax savings currently realized by employee participants by utilizing CDBs were reduced or unavailable, we expect employees would correspondingly reduce or eliminate their participation in such CDB plans. Any such reduction in employer or employee incentives would materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.

Future portfolio purchases and acquisitions are an important aspect of our growth strategy, and any failure to successfully identify, acquire or integrate acquisitions or additional portfolio targets could materially adversely affect our ability to grow our business. In addition, costs of integrating acquisitions and portfolio purchases may adversely affect our results of operations in the short term.

Our recent growth has been, and our future growth will be, substantially dependent on our ability to continue to make and integrate acquisitions and complementary portfolio purchases to expand our employer client base and service offerings. Since 2007, we have completed seven portfolio purchases and three acquisitions. Our successful integration of these portfolio purchases and acquisitions into our operations on a cost-effective basis is critical to our future financial performance, especially as it relates to our acquisition of ADP’s Consumer Health Spending Account (“CHSA”), COBRA, and direct bill businesses (together defined as the "ADP CHSA/COBRA Business"). While we believe that there are numerous potential portfolio purchases and acquisitions that would add to our employer client base and service offerings, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully make a sufficient number of such portfolio purchases or acquisitions in a timely and effective manner in order to support our growth objectives. In addition, the process of integrating portfolio purchases and acquisitions may create unforeseen difficulties and expenditures. We face various risks in making portfolio purchases and any acquisitions, including:

Table of Contents


•	our ability to retain acquired employer clients and their associated revenues;


•	our ability to re-contract with ADP’s clients that were impacted by our acquisition of the Business and retain the associated revenues;


•	diversion of management’s time and focus from operating our business to address integration challenges;


•	our ability to retain or replace key employees from acquisitions and portfolios we acquire;


•	cultural and logistical challenges associated with integrating employees from acquired portfolios into our organization and establishing new operations in India;


•	our ability to integrate the combined products, services and technology;


•	the migration of acquired employer clients to our technology platforms;


•	our ability to cross-sell additional CDB programs to acquired employer clients;


•	our ability to realize expected synergies;

•

the need to implement or improve internal controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a public company at businesses that, prior to the portfolio purchase or acquisition, may have lacked effective controls, procedures and policies, including, but not limited to, processes required for the effective and timely reporting of the financial condition and results of operations of the acquired business, both for historical periods prior to the acquisition and on a forward-looking basis following the acquisition;


•	possible write-offs or impairment charges that result from acquisitions and portfolio purchases;


•	unanticipated or unknown liabilities that relate to purchased businesses;


•	the need to implement or improve internal controls relating to privacy, security and data protection;


•	the need to integrate purchased businesses’ accounting, management information, human resources, and other administrative systems to permit effective management; and


•	any change in one of the many complex international, federal or state laws or regulations that govern any aspect of the financial or business operations of our business and businesses we acquire, such as state escheatment laws and Indian laws and regulations.

Portfolio purchases and acquisitions may have a short-term material adverse impact on our results of operations, including a potential material adverse impact on our cost of revenues, as we seek to migrate acquired employer clients to our proprietary technology platforms, typically over the succeeding 12 to 24 months, in order to achieve additional operating efficiencies. Additionally, from time to time, we may incur material costs and charges related to consolidating our operations following our portfolio purchases and acquisitions and establishing new operations in India.

If we are unable to retain and expand our employer client base, establish new channel partnerships and exchange relationships, our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects would be materially adversely affected.

Most of our revenue is derived from the long term, multi-year agreements that we typically enter into with our employer clients. The initial subscription period is typically three years for our enterprise clients and one to three years for our SMB and mid-market clients. We also derive revenue from our channel partner agreements with Aflac Incorporated, or Aflac, Ceridian Corporation, or Ceridian, the referral agreement with ADP, and we anticipate in the future establishing new channel partnerships with other companies. Our employer clients, however, have no obligation to renew their agreements with us after the initial term and we cannot assure you that our employer clients will continue to renew their agreements at the same rate, if at all. In addition, employer clients transitioning to us from a channel partner have no obligation to enter into agreements with us and, if they do, there is no guarantee that they will renew their agreements with us after the initial transition period. In addition, our exchange relationships contribute development revenue as well as monthly subscriber fees to our revenue and there is no guarantee that we will be able to retain and maintain these relationships in their current form or add additional exchange partners.

Table of Contents

Moreover, most of our employer clients have the right to cancel their agreements for convenience, including the Office of Personnel Management, subject to certain notice requirements. While few employer clients have terminated their agreements with us for convenience, some of our employer clients have elected not to renew their agreements with us. Our employer clients’ renewal rates may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the prices of competing products or services or reductions in our employer clients’ spending levels.

Another important aspect of our growth strategy depends upon our ability to maintain our existing carrier, channel partner, and exchange relationships and develop new relationships. No assurance can be given that new carrier, channel partners, or exchange opportunities will be found, that any such new relationships will be successful when they are in place, or that business with our current channel partners or exchange opportunities will increase at the level necessary to support our growth objectives. If our employer clients do not renew their agreements with us, and we are unable to attract new employer clients, channel or exchange partners, our revenue may decline and our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects may be materially adversely affected.

The market for our services and our business may not grow if our marketing efforts do not successfully raise awareness among employers and employees about the advantages of adopting and participating in CDB programs.

Our revenue model is substantially based on the number of employee participants enrolled in the CDB programs that we administer. We devote significant resources to educating both employers and their employees on the potential cost savings available to them from utilizing CDB programs. We have created various marketing, educational and awareness tools to inform employers about the benefits of offering CDB programs to their employees and how our services allow them to offer these benefits in an efficient and cost effective manner. We also provide marketing information to employees that informs them about the potential tax savings they can achieve by utilizing CDB programs to pay for their healthcare, commuter and other benefit needs. However, if more employers and employees do not become aware of or understand these potential cost savings and choose to adopt CDB programs, our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects may be materially adversely affected.

In addition, there is no guarantee that the market for our services will grow as we expect. For example, the value of our services is directly related to the complexity of administering CDB programs and government action that significantly reduces or simplifies these requirements could reduce demand or pricing for our services. Further, employees may not participate in CDB programs because they have insufficient funds to set aside into such programs, find the rules regarding the use of such programs too complex, or otherwise. If the market for our services declines or develops more slowly than we expect, or the number of employer clients that select us to provide CDB programs to their employee participants declines or fails to increase as we expect, our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

Our business and prospects may be materially adversely affected if we are unable to cross-sell our products and services.

A significant component of our growth strategy is the increased cross-selling of products and services to current and future employer clients. In particular, many of our employer clients use only one of our products so we expect our ability to cross-sell our commuter programs to our healthcare program clients and our healthcare programs to our commuter employer clients to be an important part of this strategy. We may not be successful in cross-selling our products and services if our employer clients find our additional products and services to be unnecessary or unattractive. Any failure to sell additional products and services to current and future clients could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.

Failure to ensure and protect the confidentiality and security of participant data could lead to legal liability, adversely affect our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business or financial condition.

We must collect, store and use employee participants’ confidential information and transmit that data to third parties, to provide our services. For example, we collect names, addresses, social security numbers and other personally identifiable information from employee participants. In addition, we facilitate the issuance and funding of prepaid debit cards and, in some cases, collect bank routing information, account numbers and personal credit card information for purposes of funding an account or issuing a reimbursement. We have invested significantly in preserving the security of this data.

In addition, we utilize third-party platforms and outsource customer support center services and claims processing services to third-party service providers to whom we transmit certain confidential information of our employee participants. We have security measures in place with each of these service providers to help protect this confidential information, including written agreements that outline how protected health information will be handled and shared. However, there are no assurances

Table of Contents

that these measures, or any additional security measures that our service providers may have in place, will be sufficient to protect this outsourced confidential information from unauthorized security breaches.

We cannot assure you that, despite the implementation of these security measures, we will not be subject to a security incident or other data breach or that this data will not be compromised. We may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by security breaches, or to pay penalties as a result of such breaches. Despite our implementation of security measures, techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently. As a result, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures to protect this data. In addition, security breaches can also occur as a result of non-technical issues, including intentional or inadvertent breaches by our employees or service providers or by other persons or entities with whom we have commercial relationships. Any compromise or perceived compromise of our security could damage our reputation with our clients, brokers and channel partners, and could subject us to significant liability, as well as regulatory action, including financial penalties, which would materially adversely affect our brand, results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.

We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant costs to protect against and respond to security breaches. We may incur significant additional costs in the future to address problems caused by any actual or perceived security breaches.

Breaches of our security measures or those of our third-party service providers or security incidents could result in unauthorized access to our sites, networks and systems; unauthorized access to, misuse or misappropriation of employer client or employee participants’ information, including personally identifiable information, or other confidential or proprietary information of ourselves or third parties; viruses, worms, spyware or other malware being served from our sites, networks or systems; deletion or modification of content or the display of unauthorized content on our sites; interruption, disruption or malfunction of operations; costs relating to notification of individuals, or other forms of breach remediation; deployment of additional personnel and protection technologies; response to governmental investigations and media inquiries and coverage; engagement of third-party experts and consultants; litigation, regulatory investigations, prosecutions, and other actions, and other potential liabilities. If any of these events occurs, or is believed to occur, our reputation and brand could be damaged, our business may suffer, we could be required to expend significant capital and other resources to alleviate problems caused by such actual or perceived breaches, we could be exposed to a risk of loss, litigation or regulatory action and possible liability, and our ability to operate our business, including our ability to provide access, usage or maintenance and support services to our customers, may be impaired. If current or prospective employer clients or employee participants believe that our systems and solutions do not provide adequate security for the storage of personal or other sensitive information or its transmission over the Internet, our business and our financial results could be harmed. Additionally, actual, potential or anticipated attacks may cause us to incur increasing costs, including costs to deploy additional personnel and protection technologies, train employees and engage third-party experts and consultants.

Although we maintain privacy, data breach and network security liability insurance, we cannot be certain that our coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred or that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all. Any actual or perceived compromise or breach of our security measures, or those of our service providers, or any unauthorized access to, misuse or misappropriation of consumer information or other confidential business information, could violate applicable laws and regulations, contractual obligations or other legal obligations and cause significant legal and financial exposure, adverse publicity and a loss of confidence in our security measures, any of which could have an material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our business is subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including those regarding privacy, data protection and information security, and our customers, channel partners and service providers are subject to regulations related to the handling and transfer of certain types of sensitive and confidential information. Any failure of our infrastructure, our platform, third-party platforms that we utilize, or our solutions to enable us or our customers, channel partners and service providers to comply with applicable laws and regulations would harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

As part of our business, we collect employee participants’ personal data for the sole purpose of processing their benefits. Our services and solutions are subject to privacy- and data protection-related laws and regulations that impose obligations in connection with the collection, processing and use of personal data, financial data, health data or other similar data. Among other things, we have access to, and our employer clients and employee participants are able to use our solutions to handle and transfer, personally identifiable information and other data of our current and prospective employee participants and others. The U.S. federal and various state and other jurisdictional governments have adopted or proposed limitations on, or requirements regarding, the collection, distribution, use, security and storage of personally identifiable information and other data, and the Federal Trade Commission and numerous state attorneys general are applying federal and state consumer protection laws to

Table of Contents

impose standards on the online collection, use and dissemination of data, and to the security measures applied to such data. In addition, we may find it necessary or desirable to join industry or other self-regulatory bodies or other privacy- or data protection-related organizations that require compliance with their rules pertaining to privacy and data protection. We are also bound by contractual obligations relating to our collection, use and disclosure of personal, financial and other data. Although we are comply with applicable laws, regulations, industry standards, contractual obligations and other legal obligations that apply to us, these are constantly evolving and may be modified, may be interpreted and applied in an inconsistent manner from one jurisdiction to another, and may conflict with one another, other requirements or legal obligations or our practices.

In addition, various federal, state and other legislative or regulatory bodies have in place and may enact new or additional laws and regulations mandating certain disclosures, including disclosures of personally identifiable information, to domestic enforcement bodies, which could adversely impact our business, our brand or our reputation with employer clients and employee participants. Despite our efforts to protect customer data, perceptions that the privacy of personal information is not satisfactorily protected in connection with our products or services could inhibit sales of our products or services, could limit adoption of our services by consumers, businesses, and government entities, and could expose us to claims or litigation. Additional privacy- or data security-related measures we may take to address such customer concerns, constraints on our flexibility to determine how to respond to customer expectations or governmental rules or actions, or costs associated with compliance with law enforcement or other regulatory authority demands or requests may adversely affect our business and operating results.

Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with applicable laws, regulations, policies, industry standards, contractual obligations or other legal obligations relating to privacy or data security, or any security incident that results in the unauthorized access to, or acquisition, release or transfer of, personally identifiable information or other customer data may result in governmental or regulatory investigations, inquiries, enforcement actions and prosecutions, private litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity and could cause our employer clients, employee participants, and others to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our services and solutions are subject to numerous laws and regulations related to the privacy and security of personal health information, including those promulgated pursuant to HIPAA, as well as HITECH, which was enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which require the implementation of administrative, physical and technological safeguards to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of individually identifiable health information in electronic form. Further, our services and solutions are subject to Payment Card Industry, or PCI, data security standards that impose requirements regarding the storage and processing of payment card information. If we cannot comply with, or if we incur a violation of, any of these obligations, we could incur significant liability or our growth could be adversely impacted, either of which could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and operating results.

We expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, regulations, industry standards, contractual obligations and other obligations concerning privacy, data protection and information security and we cannot yet determine the impact of such future laws, regulations, standards and obligations may have on our business. Future laws, regulations, standards and other obligations, or changed interpretations of the foregoing, could, for example, impair our ability to collect, use or store information that we utilize to provide our services, thereby impairing our ability to maintain and grow our total customer base and increase revenues. New laws, amendments to or re-interpretations of existing laws and regulations, industry standards, contractual obligations and other obligations may impact our business and practices. We may be required to expend significant resources to modify our solutions and otherwise adapt to these changes, which we may be unable to do on commercially reasonable terms or at all, and our ability to develop new solutions and features could be limited. These developments could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any such new laws, regulations, industry standards, or other legal obligations or any changed interpretation of existing laws, regulations, industry standards, or other obligations may require us to incur additional costs and restrict our business operations. If our privacy or data security measures fail to comply with current or future laws, regulations, policies, legal obligations or industry standards, or any changed interpretations of the foregoing, we may be subject to litigation, regulatory investigations, enforcement actions, inquiries, prosecutions, fines or other liabilities, as well as negative publicity and a potential loss of business. Moreover, if future laws, regulations, industry standards, or other legal obligations, or any changed interpretations of the foregoing, limit the ability of our customers, channel partners or service providers to use and share personally identifiable information or other data or our ability to store, process and share personally identifiable information or other data, demand for our solutions could decrease, our costs could increase and our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed.

A breach of our IT security, loss of customer data or system disruption could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business or financial condition and reputation.

Our business is dependent on our transaction, financial, accounting and other data processing systems, as well as instances of third-party service provider systems that we use to provide our services. We rely on these systems to process, on a daily basis, a large number of complicated transactions. Any security breach in our business processes and/or systems, or those third-party systems that we use, has the potential to impact our customer information and our financial reporting capabilities which could result in the potential loss of business and our ability to accurately report information. If any of these systems fail to operate properly or become disabled even for a brief period of time, we could potentially lose control of customer data and we could suffer financial loss, a disruption of our businesses, liability to clients, regulatory intervention or damage to our reputation. In addition, any issue of data privacy as it relates to unauthorized access to or loss of employer client and/or employee participant information could result in the potential loss of business, damage to our market reputation, litigation and regulatory investigation and penalties. Our continued investment in the security of our IT systems, continued efforts to improve the controls within our IT systems and those of any service providers that we use to provide our services, business processes improvements, and the enhancements to our culture of information security may not successfully prevent attempts to breach our security or unauthorized access to confidential, sensitive or proprietary information.

In addition, we depend on information technology networks and systems to collect, process, transmit and store electronic information and to communicate among our locations and with our channel partners, service providers, employer clients and employee participants. Security breaches could lead to shutdowns or disruptions of our systems and potential unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. We also are required at times to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential employer client and employee participant data, as well as our own employee data in the regular course of business. As a result, we are subject to numerous laws and regulations designed to protect this information, including various U.S. federal and state laws governing the protection of health or other individually identifiable information, all of which are further described in Part I, Item 1, “Business- Government Regulation” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. If any person, including any of our personnel, fails to comply with, disregards or intentionally breaches our established controls with respect to such data or otherwise mismanages or misappropriates that data, we could be subject to monetary damages, fines or criminal prosecution. Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential data, whether through systems failure, accident, employee negligence, fraud or misappropriation, could damage our reputation and cause us to lose customers. Similarly, unauthorized access to or through our information systems or those we develop or utilize in connection with our provision of services, whether by our personnel or third parties, could result in significant additional expenses (including expenses relating to notification of data security breaches and costs of credit monitoring services), negative publicity, legal liability and damage to our reputation, as well as require substantial resources and effort of management, thereby diverting management’s focus and resources from business operations.

We may be unable to compete effectively against our current and future competitors.

The market for our products and services is highly competitive, rapidly evolving and fragmented. We have numerous competitors, including health insurance carriers, human resources consultants and outsourcers, payroll providers, national CDB specialists, regional third party administrators and commercial banks. Many of our competitors, including health insurance carriers, have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we have. As a result, some of these competitors may be in a position to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of their products and services.

In addition, if one or more of our competitors were to merge or partner with another of our competitors, the change in the competitive landscape could materially adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. Our competitors may also establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with our current or future strategic brokers, insurance carriers, payroll services companies, private exchanges, third-party advisors or other parties with which we have relationships, thereby limiting our ability to promote our CDB programs with these parties and limiting the number of brokers available to sell or market our programs. If we are unable to compete effectively with our competitors for any of the foregoing reasons, our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

Changes in healthcare, security and privacy laws and other regulations applicable to our business may constrain our ability to offer our products and services.

Changes in healthcare or other laws and regulations applicable to our business may occur that could increase our compliance and other costs of doing business, require significant systems enhancement, or render our products or services less profitable or obsolete, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Table of Contents

The PPACA signed into law on March 23, 2010 and related regulations or regulatory actions could adversely affect our ability to offer certain of our CDBs in the manner that we do today or may make CDBs less attractive to some employers. For example, any new laws that increase reporting and compliance burdens on employers may make them less likely to offer CDBs to their employees and instead offer employees benefit coverage through public exchanges. In addition, it is unclear whether the “Cadillac Tax”, now delayed until 2020, will be modified so that employee contributions to FSAs and HSAs are excluded from the calculation or if the entire tax will be repealed. If employers are less incentivized to offer our CDB programs to employees because of the Cadillac Tax increased regulatory burdens, costs or otherwise, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

In addition, the numerous federal and state laws and regulations related to the privacy and security of personal health information, in particular those promulgated pursuant to HIPAA require the implementation of administrative, physical and technological safeguards to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of individually identifiable health information in electronic form. We are required to enter into written agreements with all of our employer clients known as Business Associate Agreements. Pursuant to these agreements, and as our employer client’s “Business Associate” thereunder, we are required to safeguard all individually identifiable health information of their participating employees and are restricted in how we use and disclose such information. These agreements also contain data security breach notification requirements which, in some circumstances, may be more stringent than HIPAA requirements. As we are unable to predict what changes to HIPAA or other privacy and security laws or regulations might be made in the future, we can’t be certain how those changes could affect our business or the costs of compliance.

We plan to extend and expand our products and services and introduce new products and services, and we may not accurately estimate the impact of developing and introducing these products and services on our business.

We intend to continue to invest in technology and development to create new and enhanced products and services to offer our employer clients and their participating employees. Scalability of our platforms remains an on-going focus as our platform volume increases. We continue to make investments in technology upgrades to ensure stability and performance of our applications for our clients and participants. Despite quality testing of technology prior to use, it may contain errors that impact its function and performance and this may result in negative consequences. We have limited experience in these areas and so we may not be able to anticipate or manage new risks and obligations or legal, compliance or other requirements that may arise. The anticipated benefits of such new and improved products and services may not outweigh the costs and resources associated with their development.

Our ability to attract and retain new employer clients and increase revenue from existing employer clients will depend in large part on our ability to enhance and improve our existing products and services and to introduce new products and services. The success of any enhancement or new product or service depends on several factors, including the timely completion, introduction and market acceptance of the enhancement or new product or service. Any new product or service we develop or acquire may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner and may not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue. If we are unable to successfully develop or acquire new products or services or enhance our existing products or services to meet client requirements, our results of operations, financial condition, business or prospects may be materially adversely affected.

If we fail to manage future growth effectively, we may not be able to market and sell our products and services successfully.

We have expanded our operations significantly in recent years and anticipate that further expansion will be required in order for us to grow our business. If we do not effectively manage our growth, the quality of our services could suffer, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects, and damage our brand and reputation among existing and prospective clients. In order to manage our future growth, we will need to hire, integrate and retain highly skilled and motivated employees. We will also be required to continue to improve our existing systems for operational and financial information management, including our reporting systems, procedures and controls and regulatory compliance processes. These improvements may require significant capital expenditures and will place increasing demands on our management. We may not be successful in managing or expanding our operations, or in maintaining adequate operating and financial information systems and controls. If we are not successful in implementing improvements in these areas, our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects would be materially adversely affected.

General economic and other conditions may adversely affect trends in employment and hiring patterns, which could result in lower employee participation in CDB programs, which would materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.

Table of Contents

Our revenue is attributable to the number of employee participants at each of our employer clients, which in turn is influenced by the employment and hiring patterns of our employer clients. To the extent our employer clients freeze or reduce their headcount or wages paid because of general economic or other conditions, demand for our programs may decrease, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.

Failure to effectively develop and expand our direct and indirect sales channels may materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects and reduce our growth.

We will need to continue to expand our sales and marketing infrastructure in order to grow our employer client base and our business. We rely on our enterprise sales force to target new Fortune 1000 client accounts and sell into the carrier, channel partnership, and private exchanges, as well as to cross-sell additional products and services to our existing enterprise clients. Effectively training our sales personnel requires significant time, expense and attention. In addition, we utilize various channel brokers, including insurance agents, benefits consultants, regional and national insurance carriers, health plans, payroll companies, banks and regional third party administrators, to sell and market our programs to employers. If we are unable to develop and expand our direct sales team, our indirect sales channels, or become a partner to more carrier and private exchanges, our ability to attract new employer clients may be negatively impacted and our growth opportunities will be reduced, each of which would materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.

If our efforts to develop and expand our direct and indirect sales channels do not generate a corresponding increase in revenue, our business may be materially adversely affected. In particular, if we are unable to effectively train our sales personnel or if our direct sales personnel are unable to achieve expected productivity levels in a reasonable period of time, we may not be able to increase our revenue and grow our business.

Long sales cycles make the timing of our long-term revenues difficult to predict.

Our average sales cycle ranges from approximately two months for small opportunities to over a year for large and significant new indirect business. Factors that may influence the length of our sales cycle include:


•	the need to educate potential employer clients about the uses and benefits of our CDB programs;


•	the relatively long duration of the commitment clients make in their agreements with us or with pre-existing plan administrators;


•	the discretionary nature of potential employer clients’ purchasing and budget cycles and decisions;


•	the competitive nature of potential employer clients’ evaluation and purchasing processes;


•	fluctuations in the CDB program needs of potential employer clients; and


•	lengthy purchasing approval processes of potential employer clients.

If we are unable to close an expected significant transaction with one or more of these potential clients in the anticipated period, our operating results for that period, and for any future periods in which revenue from such transaction would otherwise have been recognized, would be harmed.

Our business and operational results are subject to seasonality as a result of open enrollment for CDB programs and decreased use of commuter program offerings during typical vacation months.

The number of accounts that generate revenue is typically greatest during our first calendar quarter. This is primarily due to two factors. First, new employer clients and their employee participants typically begin service on January 1. Second, during the first calendar quarter, we are also servicing the end of plan year activity for existing clients, including assisting our clients with initiating the deduction of healthcare premiums on a tax deferred basis, and employee participants who do not continue participation into the next plan year.

Generally, in comparison to other quarters, our revenue is highest in the first quarter and lowest in the second and third quarters. Thereafter, our revenue generally grows gradually in the fourth quarter as our employer clients hire new employees who then elect to participate in our programs, thereby increasing our monthly minimum billing amount. The minimum billing amount is not, however, generally subject to downward revision when employees leave their employers because we continue to administer those former employee participants’ accounts for the remainder of the plan year. Revenue from commuter programs may vary from month-to-month because employees may elect to participate in our commuter programs at any time during the

Table of Contents

year and may change their election to participate or the amount of their contribution on a monthly basis; however, participation rates in our commuter business typically slow during the summer as people take vacations and do not purchase transit passes or parking passes during that time.

Our operating expenses increase during the fourth quarter because of increased debit card production and because we increase our customer support center capacity to answer questions from employee participants during the open enrollment periods related to their CDB participation decisions. The cost of providing services peaks in the first quarter as new employee participants contact us for information about their CDBs, and as terminating employee participants submit their final claims for reimbursement.

Our operating results can fluctuate from period to period, which could cause our share price to fluctuate.

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results could cause our stock price to decline rapidly, may lead analysts to change their long-term models for valuing our common stock, could cause short-term liquidity issues, may impact our ability to retain or attract key personnel or cause other unanticipated issues. If our quarterly operating results or guidance fall below the expectations of research analysts or investors, the price of our common stock could decline substantially. Our quarterly operating expenses and operating results may vary significantly in the future and period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful. You should not rely on the results of one quarter as an indication of future performance.

If employee participants do not continue to utilize our prepaid debit cards or choose to use PIN rather than signature enabled prepaid debit cards, our results of operations, business and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

We derive a portion of our revenue from interchange fees that are paid to us when employee participants utilize our prepaid debit cards to pay for certain healthcare and commuter expenses under our CDB programs. These fees represent a percentage of the expenses transacted on each debit card. If our employer clients do not adopt these prepaid debit cards as part of the benefits programs they offer, if the employee participants do not use them at the rate we expect, if employee participants choose to process their transactions over PIN networks rather than signature networks or if other alternatives to prepaid tax-advantaged benefit cards develop, our results of operations, business and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

If we are unable to maintain and enhance our brand and reputation, our ability to sustain and grow our business may be materially adversely affected.

Maintaining and strengthening our brand is critical to attracting new clients and growing our business. Our ability to maintain and strengthen our brand and reputation will depend heavily on our capacity to continue to provide high levels of customer service to our employer clients and their employee participants at cost effective and competitive prices, which we may not do successfully. In addition, our continued success depends, in part, on our reputation as an industry leader in promoting awareness and understanding of the positive impact of CDBs among employers and employees. If we fail to successfully maintain and strengthen our brand, our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects will be materially adversely affected.

Some plan providers with which we have relationships also provide, or may provide, competing services.

We face competitive risks in situations where some of our strategic partners are also current or potential competitors. For example, certain of the banks we utilize as custodians of the funds for our HSA employee participants also offer their own HSA products. To the extent that these partners choose to offer competing products and services that they have developed or in which they have an interest to our current or potential clients, our results of operations, business and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

We are subject to complex regulation, and any compliance failures or regulatory action could materially adversely affect our business.

The plans we administer and, as a result, our business are subject to extensive, complex and continually changing federal and state laws and regulations, including IRS regulations; ERISA, HIPAA, HITECH and other privacy and data security regulations; and the PPACA, all of which are further described in Part I, Item 1, “Business — Government Regulation” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. If we fail to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation, we could be subject to fines and penalties, indemnification claims by our clients, or become the subject of a regulatory enforcement action, each of which would materially adversely affect our business and reputation.

Table of Contents

We may also become subject to additional regulatory and compliance requirements as a result of changes in laws or regulations, or as a result of any expansion or enhancement of our existing products and services or the development of any new products or services in the future. For example, if we expand our product and service offerings into the health insurance market in the future, we would become subject to state Department of Insurance regulations. Compliance with any new regulatory requirements may divert internal resources and take significant time and effort.

Any claims of noncompliance brought against us, regardless of merit or ultimate outcome, could subject us to investigation by the DOL, the IRS, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the U.S. Department of the Treasury or other federal and state regulatory authorities, which could result in substantial costs to us and divert management’s attention and other resources away from our operations. In addition, investor perceptions of us may suffer and could cause a decline in the market price of our common stock. Our compliance processes may not be sufficient to prevent assertions that we failed to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation.

Our inability to successfully recover should we experience a disaster or other business continuity problem could cause material financial loss, loss of human capital, breach of confidential information, regulatory actions, reputational harm or legal liability.

Should we experience a disaster or other business continuity problem, either natural or man-made, our ability to protect our infrastructure, including customer data, and maintain ongoing operations will depend, in part, on the availability of our personnel, our office facilities, and the proper functioning of our computer, telecommunication and other related systems and operations. In such an event, we could experience near-term operational challenges with regard to particular areas of our operations.

In particular, our ability to recover from any disaster or other business continuity problem will depend on our ability to protect our technology infrastructure against damage from business continuity events that could have a significant disruptive effect on our operations. Our business continuity plan may not be successful in mitigating the effects of a disaster or other business continuity problem. We could potentially lose client data, experience a breach of security or confidential information, or experience material adverse interruptions to our operations or delivery of services to our clients in a disaster.

We will continue to regularly assess and take steps to improve upon our business continuity plans. However, a disaster on a significant scale or affecting certain of our key operating areas within or across regions, or our inability to successfully recover should we experience a disaster or other business continuity problem, could materially interrupt our business operations and cause material financial loss, loss of human capital, breach of confidential information, regulatory actions, reputational harm, damaged client relationships and legal liability.

If we fail to effectively implement our enterprise resource planning system and upgrade our information technology systems, our business and operations could be disrupted.

As part of our efforts to continue the improvement of our enterprise resource planning, we are implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system in order to automate several controls that are currently performed manually. We have implemented the first phase of the new ERP system during the first quarter of 2017. We may experience difficulties in transitioning to this upgraded system, including loss of data and decreases in productivity as personnel work to become familiar with this new system. In addition, our management information systems will require modification and refinement as we grow and as our business needs change, which could prolong difficulties we experience with systems transitions, and we may not always employ the most effective systems for our purposes. If we experience difficulties in implementing the new ERP system or upgrading other information systems or experience significant system failures, or if we are unable to successfully modify our management information systems or respond to changes in our business needs, we may not be able to effectively manage our business and we may fail to meet our reporting obligations.

Our future success depends on our ability to recruit and retain qualified employees, including our executive officers and directors.

Our success is substantially dependent upon the performance of our senior management, such as our chief executive officer. Our management and employees may terminate their employment at any time, and the loss of the services of any of our executive officers could materially adversely affect our business. Our success is also substantially dependent upon our ability to attract additional personnel for all areas of our organization. Competition for qualified personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel on a timely basis, on competitive terms or at all. Additionally, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as our executive officers due

Table of Contents

to potential liability concerns related to serving on a public company. If we are unable to attract and retain the necessary personnel, our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects would be materially adversely affected.

Changes in credit card association or other network rules or standards set by Visa or MasterCard, or changes in card association and debit network fees or products or interchange rates, could materially adversely affect our results of operations, business and financial position.

We, and the banks that issue our prepaid debit cards, are subject to Visa and MasterCard association rules that could subject us to a variety of fines or penalties that may be levied by the card associations or networks for acts or omissions by us or businesses that work with us, including card processors, such as Alegeus. The termination of the card association registrations held by us or any of the banks that issue our cards, or any changes in card association or other debit network rules or standards, including interpretation and implementation of existing rules, participants deciding to use PIN networks, standards or guidance that increase the cost of doing business or limit our ability to provide our products and services, or limit our ability to receive interchange, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects. In addition, from time-to-time, card associations increase the organization or processing fees that they charge, which could increase our operating expenses, reduce our profit margin and materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.

We have entered into outsourcing and other agreements with third parties related to certain of our business operations, and any difficulties experienced in these arrangements could result in additional expense, loss of revenue or an interruption of our services.

We have entered into outsourcing agreements with third parties to provide certain customer service and related support functions to our employer clients and their employee participants. As a result, we rely on third parties over which we have limited control. If these third parties are unable to perform to our requirements or to provide the level of service required or expected by our employer clients, including ensuring the privacy and integrity of individually identifiable health information that they may be privy to as a result of the services they perform for our employer clients and their employee participants, our operating results, financial condition, business, prospects and reputation may be materially harmed. In addition, we may be forced to pursue alternative strategies to provide these services, which could result in delays, interruptions, additional expenses and loss of clients and related revenues.

If our intellectual property and technology are not adequately protected to prevent use or appropriation by our competitors, our business and competitive position could be materially adversely affected.

We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions, to establish and protect our intellectual property rights in the United States.

The efforts we have taken to protect our intellectual property may not be sufficient or effective, and our trademarks and copyrights may be held invalid or unenforceable. We may not be effective in policing unauthorized use of our intellectual property, and even if we do detect violations, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights. Any enforcement efforts we undertake, including litigation, could be time consuming and expensive, could divert our management’s attention and may result in a court determining that our intellectual property rights are unenforceable. If we are not successful in cost-effectively protecting our intellectual property rights, our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

Our ability to use net operating losses and income tax credits carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be limited.

As of December 31, 2016, we had $0.1 million of federal and $22.7 million of state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future regular and alternative minimum taxable income. The state net operating loss carryforward has been prepared on a post-apportionment basis. These net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in the year 2033 for U.S. federal income tax purposes and in years 2017 through 2033 for state income tax purposes, if not fully utilized. In addition, we have federal and state research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $6.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The federal research credit carryforwards expire beginning in 2023 through 2036, if not fully utilized. The state research credit carries forward indefinitely for the state of California and other states begin to expire in years 2035 through 2036. In addition, we have $0.1 million of state investment tax credits that will begin to expire in years 2017 through 2019, if not fully utilized. Our ability to utilize net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are subject to restrictions, including limitations in the event of past or future ownership changes as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, or IRC, of 1986, as amended, and similar state tax laws. In general, an ownership change occurs if the aggregate stock ownership of certain stockholders increases by more than 50 percentage points over such stockholders’ lowest percentage ownership during

Table of Contents

the testing period (generally three years). We have considered Section 382 of the IRC and concluded that any ownership change would not diminish our utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards or our research and development credits during the carryover periods.

If one or more jurisdictions successfully assert that we should have collected or in the future should collect additional sales and use taxes on our fees, we could be subject to additional liability with respect to past or future sales and the results of our operations could be adversely affected.

Sales and use tax laws and rates vary by jurisdiction and such laws are subject to interpretation. In those jurisdictions where we believe sales taxes are applicable, we collect and file timely sales tax returns. Currently, such taxes are minimal. Jurisdictions in which we do not collect sales and use taxes may assert that such taxes are applicable, which could result in the assessment of such taxes, interest and penalties, and we could be required to collect such taxes in the future. This additional sales and use tax liability could adversely affect our results of operations.

Third parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims against us, or our services may infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, which may subject us to legal liability and materially adversely affect our reputation.

Assertion of intellectual property infringement claims against us could result in litigation. We might not prevail in any such litigation or be able to obtain a license for the use of any infringed intellectual property from a third party on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Even if obtained, we may be unable to protect such licenses from infringement or misuse, or prevent infringement claims against us in connection with our licensing efforts. Any such claims, regardless of their merit or ultimate outcome, could result in substantial cost to us, divert management’s attention and our resources away from our operations and otherwise adversely affect our reputation. Our process for controlling our own employees’ use of third-party proprietary information may not be sufficient to prevent assertions of intellectual property infringement claims against us.

We rely on insurance to mitigate some risks of our business and, to the extent the cost of insurance increases or we maintain insufficient coverage, our results of operations, business and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

We contract for insurance to cover a portion of our potential business risks and liabilities. In the current environment, insurance companies are increasingly specific about what they will and will not insure. It is possible that we may not be able to obtain sufficient insurance to meet our needs, may have to pay very high prices for the coverage we do obtain or may not acquire any insurance for certain types of business risk. This could leave us exposed, and to the extent we incur liabilities and expenses for which we are not adequately insured, our results of operations, business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Also, to the extent the cost of maintaining insurance increases, our operating expenses will rise, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.

In the past significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting have been identified. If our internal controls are not effective, there may be errors in our financial information that could require a restatement or delay our SEC filings, and investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could lead to a decline in our stock price.

We have, in the past, experienced issues with our internal control over financial reporting and it is possible that we may discover significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. Any failure to maintain or implement required new or improved controls, or any difficulties we encounter in their implementation, could cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations, or result in material misstatements in our financial information. Any such delays or restatements could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and lead to a decline in our stock price.

Substantial sales of our common stock by our stockholders could depress the market price of our common stock regardless of our operating results.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through offerings of our common stock. As of December 31, 2016, we had 36,901,695 shares of our common stock outstanding. In addition, as of December 31, 2016, there were outstanding options to purchase 2,844,225 shares of our common stock and 913,783 restricted stock units. Substantially all of our outstanding common stock is eligible for sale, subject to Rule 144 volume limitations for holders affected by such limitations, as are common stock issuable under vested and exercisable options. Rule 144 allows public resale of restricted and control securities if certain conditions are met. If our existing stockholders sell a large number of common stock or the public market perceives that existing stockholders might sell our common stock, the market price of our

Table of Contents

common stock could decline significantly. These sales might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

Our stock price has fluctuated and may continue to do so and may even decline regardless of our financial performance.

The market price of our common stock has fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:


•	actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial results;


•	changes in the financial projections we provide to the public or our failure to meet these projections;


•	failure of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of our company, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our company, or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;


•	ratings changes by any securities analysts who follow our company;


•	announcements by us or our competitors of significant technical innovations, acquisitions, portfolio purchases, channel partnerships or capital commitments;


•	changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of other newly public companies generally, or those in our industry in particular;


•	changes brought about by health care reform and the emergence of federal, state and private exchanges;


•	price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market, including as a result of trends in the global economy;


•	any major change in our board of directors or management;


•	lawsuits threatened or filed against us; and


•	other events or factors, including those resulting from a data security breach, war, incidents of terrorism or responses to these events.

In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against such a company. If securities class action litigation is instituted against us, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources and could materially adversely affect our operating results.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, preventing or rendering more difficult an acquisition of us if such acquisition is deemed undesirable by our board of directors. Our corporate governance documents include provisions that:


•	create a classified board of directors whose members serve staggered three-year terms;


•	authorize “blank check” preferred stock, which could be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval and may contain voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to our common stock;


•	limit the ability of our stockholders to call and bring business before special meetings;


•	require advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our stockholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors;


•	control the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of board of directors and stockholder meetings; and


•	provide the board of directors with the express power to postpone previously scheduled annual meetings and to cancel previously scheduled special meetings.

Table of Contents

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent unsolicited takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management.

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock.

Any provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.

We do not expect to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

We do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future financing agreements may prohibit us from paying any type of dividends. Consequently, investors may need to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2. Properties

Facilities

We do not currently own any of our facilities. Our corporate headquarters are located in San Mateo, California where we occupy approximately 37,937 square feet of space under a lease that expires in May 2022. We have additional facilities in Arizona, Georgia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Wisconsin under various leases that will expire between March 2017 and April 2023. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our current needs and that suitable additional or substitute space will be available as needed to accommodate planned expansion of our operations.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

From time-to-time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of our business activities. As of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are not a party to any litigation whereby the outcome of such litigation, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, prospects, cash flows, financial position or brand.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Stockholders

As of February 17, 2017, according to the records of our transfer agent, there were 24 holders of record of our common stock. The number of beneficial stockholders is substantially greater than the number of holders of record because a large portion of our common stock is held through brokerage firms.

Dividends

We have never declared nor paid any cash dividend on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings and do not currently plan to pay any dividends in the immediate future. The payment of future dividends on the common stock and the rate of such dividends, if any and when not restricted, will be determined by our board of directors in light of our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, and any other relevant factors.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 6, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a $100 million stock repurchase program which commenced immediately and does not have an expiration date. Repurchases made under this program may be made in the open market as the Company deems appropriate and market conditions allow. In 2016, we repurchased 226,170 shares of common stock for a total cost of $9.4 million, or an average price of $41.43 per share. As of December 31, 2016, we had $85.6 million available for future share repurchases under the program. There were no repurchases of common stock by the Company during the three months ended December 31, 2016.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Statements that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the use of words such as, but not limited to, “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions or variations intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning market opportunity, our future financial and operating results, investment strategy, sales and marketing strategy, management’s plans, beliefs and objectives for future operations, technology and development, economic and industry trends or trend analysis, expectations about seasonality, opportunity for portfolio purchases, use of non-GAAP financial measures, operating expenses, anticipated income tax rates, capital expenditures, cash flows and liquidity.

These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management based on information currently available to us. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included under Part I, Item 1A above. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such events.

Overview

Our Business

We are a leader in administering CDBs which empower employees to save money on taxes while also providing corporate tax advantages for employers. We are solely dedicated to administering CDBs, including pre-tax spending accounts such as HSAs, health and dependent care FSAs, HRAs, as well as Commuter Benefit Services, including transit and parking programs, wellness programs, COBRA and other employee benefits in the United States.

In September 2015, we entered into our second channel partner arrangement with Ceridian Corporation, or Ceridian, to transition their COBRA and direct bill portfolio to WageWorks. This relationship also allows Ceridian to resell the Company’s COBRA and direct bill services to their new and existing clients, in addition to the full suite of healthcare and commuter products they have been selling. Pursuant to the arrangement, transition of the portfolio was completed by the second quarter of 2016.

In March, 2016, we were selected by the United States Office of Personnel Management, or OPM, to administer its Federal Flexible Spending Account Program, or FSAFEDS. This new relationship provides eligible Federal employees access to our advanced technology platform and premium service capabilities. Service to existing participants has started in the second quarter of 2016 and the transition of all participants to WageWorks was completed during the third quarter of 2016. In addition, the United States Postal Service became a member of the OPM contract in the first quarter of 2017.

On November 28, 2016, we completed the transaction with Automatic Data Processing Inc., or ADP, a leading global provider of Human Capital Management solutions, to acquire ADP’s Consumer Health Spending Account, or CHSA, COBRA, and direct bill businesses (together defined as the "ADP CHSA/COBRA Business") for approximately $235.0 million in cash.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Management Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In many instances, we could have reasonably used different accounting estimates, and in other instances, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period-to-period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application, while in other cases, management’s judgment is required in selecting among available alternative accounting standards that allow different accounting treatment for similar transactions. We believe that there are several accounting policies that are critical to understanding our business and prospects for future performance, as these policies affect the reported amounts of revenues and other significant areas that involve management’s judgment and estimates. These significant policies and our procedures related to these policies are described in detail below. In addition, please refer to Note 1, “Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-K included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of this report for further discussion of our accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition

We report revenue for the following product offerings: healthcare, commuter, COBRA and other services. Our revenues are primarily attributable to fees for services we provide to employer clients.

Table of Contents

Healthcare and commuter programs generate revenues from the monthly services we provide in connection with their employees’ participation in CDB accounts. COBRA revenue is generated from the administration of continuation of coverage services for participants who are no longer eligible for the employer’s health benefits. Other revenue includes services related to enrollment and eligibility, non-healthcare, employee account administration (i.e., tuition and health club reimbursements) and project-related professional fees. Fees associated with services are recognized in the period services are rendered and earned in accordance with service arrangements with clients where fees are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Fees received for the initial setup of clients and annual renewal fees are deferred and recognized ratably over the service period.

There are also revenues generated from fees collected on debit cards used by employee participants, known as interchange, that represent a percentage of the amounts transacted on each card. These cards are offered through our healthcare and commuter solutions. We recognize the fee revenues based on contractual fee rates with third parties when transactions on these cards are completed.

We also receive commissions from transit passes that we purchase from various transit agencies on behalf of employee participants. Due to our significant volume, we receive commissions on these passes which we recognize as vendor commission revenue. In addition, we recognize revenue on our estimate of passes that will expire unused over the estimated useful life of the passes, as the amounts paid for these passes are nonrefundable to both the employer client and the employee participant.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

We review our long-lived assets for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets consist primarily of software and software development costs, acquired intangible assets, computers and equipment, leasehold improvements, and furniture and fixtures.

We perform an annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31^st of each fiscal period and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. When reviewing goodwill for impairment, we assess whether goodwill should be allocated to operating levels lower than our single operating segment for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed for decision-making purposes. These lower levels are referred to as reporting units. Currently, our one reporting unit was determined to be our single reportable segment. The identification of relevant events and circumstances and how these may impact a reporting unit’s fair value or carrying amount involve significant judgments and assumptions. The judgment and assumptions include the identification of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, our specific events and share price trends and making the assessment on whether each relevant factor will impact the impairment test positively or negatively and the magnitude of any such impact. As of December 31, 2016, we completed our annual goodwill and long-lived assets impairment assessment and management concluded that no indicators of impairment were determined to be present.

To date, we have not made any impairment adjustments to goodwill and long-lived assets, as the fair value of our reporting unit in all prior years has always exceeded our carrying value by a significant amount.

Income Taxes

We are subject to income taxes in the United States. Significant judgment is required in evaluating and estimating our provision for these taxes. There are many transactions that occur during the course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Our provision for income taxes could be adversely affected by our acquisitions and investments, changes in our deferred tax assets and liabilities including changes in our assessment of valuation allowances and changes in the relevant tax laws or interpretation of these tax laws.

We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount whose realization is more likely than not.

We only recognize the tax benefit of an income tax position if we judge that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained, solely on its technical merits, in a tax audit including resolution of any related appeals or litigation

processes. To make this judgment, we must interpret complex and sometimes ambiguous tax laws, regulations and administrative practices. If we judge that an income tax position meets this recognition threshold, then we must measure the amount of the tax benefit to be recognized by estimating the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% cumulative probability of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all of the relevant facts. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as this requires us to determine the probability of various possible settlement outcomes. We must reevaluate our income tax positions on a quarterly basis to consider factors such as changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, the lapse of applicable statute of limitations, and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision. For a more detailed description of our unrecognized tax benefits, see Note 12 in the notes to consolidated financial statements.

Management periodically evaluates if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, source of future taxable income, tax planning strategies and nature and history of current or cumulative financial reporting income or losses. In order to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed, positive evidence of sufficient quantity and quality (objective compared to subjective) is necessary to overcome negative evidence.

In the future, if there is a significant negative change in our operating results or the other factors that were considered in making this determination, we could be required to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Any subsequent increases in the valuation allowance will be recognized as an increase in deferred tax expense. Any decreases in the valuation allowance will be recorded as a reduction to the income tax provision.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for stock awards is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes or Monte Carlo option pricing model and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The determination of the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price and the related volatility over the expected term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rates, estimated forfeitures, expected dividends and expectations of revenue target achievement.

We estimate expected volatility based on the historical volatility of comparable companies from a representative peer-group as well as our own historical volatility. We estimate expected term based on historical experience, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior such as exercises and forfeitures. We based the risk-free interest rate on zero-coupon yields implied from U.S. Treasury issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and therefore, used an expected dividend yield of zero in the option pricing model. We are required to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The estimated attainment of performance-based awards and related expense is based on the expectations of revenue and earnings before interest, tax and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") target achievement over a specified three year performance period. If we use different assumptions for estimating stock-based compensation expense in future periods, or if actual forfeitures differ materially from our estimated forfeitures, future stock-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period and could materially affect our income from operations, net income and net income per share.

Business Combination

We record acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. All of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, are recognized at their fair value as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net tangible and net intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The application of the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations requires management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in order to allocate purchase price consideration. Our estimates are based on historical experience, information obtained from the management of the acquired companies and, assistance from independent third-party appraisal firms. Our significant assumptions and estimates include, but are not limited to, the cash flows for customer relationships, developed technology, the estimated cost of capital, and the cost savings expected to be derived from acquiring an asset. These estimates are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. In addition, unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such estimates. During fiscal 2016, we completed

Healthcare Revenue

We derive our healthcare revenue from the service fees paid by our employer clients for the administration services we provide in connection with their employee participants’ FSAs, HRAs and HSAs. We also earn interchange revenue paid by financial institutions related to transaction fees on debit cards used by employee participants in connection with all of our healthcare programs and through our wholesale card program, and revenue from self-service plan kits called Premium Only Plan kits, or POP revenue.

The $26.3 million, or 15% increase in healthcare revenue from 2015 to 2016 was primarily driven by an increase in FSA, HSA, and HRA revenue due to the addition of new clients, including FSAFEDS, and growth in new employee participation in the programs. The increase in healthcare revenue was further driven by the acquisition of the CHSA business from ADP as well as interchange fee revenue. We expect to experience growth in healthcare revenue as a result of revenues generated from FSAFEDS and ADP CHSA business.

The $20.6 million, or 13% increase in healthcare revenue from 2014 to 2015 was primarily driven by an increase in FSA, HSA and HRA revenues, the contribution of a full year of CONEXIS operations in 2015, which was acquired in August 2014, and the addition of new clients and growth in new employee participation in these programs. Healthcare revenue was further increased by an increase in interchange fee revenue, due to increase in debit card usage and an increase in number of debit cards issued.

Commuter Revenue

We derive our commuter revenue from monthly service fees paid by our employer clients, interchange revenue paid by financial institutions related to transaction fees on debit cards used by employee participants in connection with our commuter solutions and commissions from the sale of transit passes used in our commuter solutions which we purchase from various transit agencies on behalf of employee participants.

The $6.3 million, or 10% increase in commuter revenue from 2015 to 2016 was primarily due to addition of new clients and growth in the number of employee participants resulting from the maximum pre-tax monthly benefit for transit and vanpooling increasing from $130 in 2015 to $255 in 2016. Commuter revenue was further increased by an increase in interchange fee revenue and vendor commission revenue from growth in our Commuter programs.

The $2.1 million, or 3% increase in commuter revenue from 2014 to 2015 was primarily driven by an increase in employee participation in our commuter programs as well as interchange fee revenue.

COBRA Revenue

COBRA revenue is derived from administration services we provide to employer clients for continuation of coverage for participants who are no longer eligible for the employer’s health benefits, such as medical, dental and vision, and for the continued administration of the employee participants’ HRAs and certain healthcare FSAs.

The $23.9 million, or 47% increase in COBRA revenue from 2015 to 2016 was primarily driven by the transition of Ceridian's COBRA portfolio to the Company and the acquisition of the COBRA and direct bill businesses from ADP. The remainder of the COBRA revenue growth was primarily driven by increased participation by employer clients in our COBRA administration services. We expect to experience growth in COBRA revenue as a result of revenues generated from ADP COBRA business.

The $19.3 million, or 60% increase in COBRA revenue from 2014 to 2015 was primarily driven by an increase related to a full year of CONEXIS operations in 2015, as well as the addition of new clients and growth in new employee participation in our COBRA programs.

Other Revenue

Other revenue includes enrollment and eligibility services, employee account administration (i.e., tuition and health club reimbursements) and project-related professional fees. We also derived other revenue from administrative services we provided to a significant customer to operate their health insurance exchange business which includes enrollment, billing, customer service and payment processing services. In September 2015, the aforementioned customer and we mutually agreed to terminate the relationship. As a result, revenues related to administrative services provided to this individual customer decreased as it transitioned out of the services we provide.

The $26.1 million, or 61% decrease in other revenue from 2015 to 2016 was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue as a result of the termination of the relationship with the aforementioned customer in the health insurance exchange business, partially offset by other increases in administration of direct bill services to employee participants.

The $24.5 million, or 135% increase in other revenue from 2014 to 2015 was primarily driven by an increase related to a full year of CONEXIS operations in 2015 contributed by increased development and administrative services rendered to the aforementioned customer to operate their health insurance exchange business and direct bill services. The remainder increase in other revenue was due primarily to growth in development and administrative services we provide to our customers as well as administration of direct bill services to employee participants.

Cost of Revenues



	Year Ended December 31,									Change from prior year
	2014			2015			2016			2015		2016
	(in thousands)
Cost of revenues (excluding amortization of internal use software)	$	100,226		$	117,170		$	130,224		17	%	11	%
Percent of revenue	37		%	35		%	36		%

Cost of revenues consist of direct expenses for claims processing, product support and customer service personnel, outsourced and temporary labor, check/ACH payment processing services, debit card processing services, shipping and handling, passes and employee participant communications.

The $13.1 million, or 11% increase in cost of revenues from 2015 to 2016 was due primarily to an increase of $11.2 million in compensation related costs to administer FSAFEDS and service new clients transitioned under the channel partner arrangement with Ceridian. The increase was further driven by a $2.4 million increase in stock-based compensation expense as a result of new grants of restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and stock options. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in printing and postage related to customer support, as a result of termination of the relationship with a significant customer in the health insurance exchange business.

The $16.9 million or 17% increase in cost of revenues from 2014 to 2015 was due primarily to an increase of $15.7 million related to a full year of CONEXIS operations in 2015, an increase of $1.6 million in stock-based compensation

Table of Contents

expense due to new grants of performance-based restricted stock units as well as stock options granted in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in cost of revenues was offset by decrease in temporary help and contractors mainly in product support functions.

As we continue to scale our operations, we expect our cost of revenues to increase in dollar amount to support increased employer client and employee participant levels. Cost of revenues will continue to be affected by our portfolio purchases, acquisitions and channel partner arrangements. Prior to migrating to our proprietary technology platforms, these new portfolios often operate with higher service delivery costs that result in increased cost of revenues until we are able to complete the migration process, which typically occurs over the 12 to 24 month period following closing of the portfolio purchase or acquisition.

Technology and Development



	Year Ended December 31,									Change from prior year
	2014			2015			2016			2015		2016

Technology and development	$	27,741		$	43,041		$	45,271		55	%	5	%
Percent of revenue	10		%	13		%	12		%

Technology and development expenses consist of personnel and related expenses, outsourced programming services, on-demand technology infrastructure, and expenses associated with equipment and software development.

The $2.2 million, or 5% increase in technology and development expenses from 2015 to 2016 was due primarily to $3.6 million increase in compensation and outsourced service costs, and services and hardware related expense to administer FSAFEDS and to support clients transitioned under the channel partner agreement with Ceridian. The change was further driven by a $1.3 million increase in stock-based compensation expense as a result of new grants of service-based restricted stock units and stock options. The increases were offset by a decrease in temporary help, consulting and outsourced services expenses as a result of the termination of a significant customer relationship in the health insurance exchange business in the third quarter of 2015.

The $15.3 million, or 55% increase in technology and development expenses from 2014 to 2015 was due primarily to an increase of $13.7 million related to a full year of CONEXIS operations in 2015. The remainder of the increase was due primarily to the loss on disposal of assets no longer in use and continued investment in product development to improve features and customer satisfaction in our proprietary platform.

We intend to continue enhancing the functionality of our software platform as part of our continuous effort to improve our employer client and employee participant experience and to maintain and enhance our control and compliance environment. The timing of development and enhancement projects, including the nature of expenditures as well as the phase of the project that could require capitalization or expense treatment, will significantly affect our technology and development expense both in dollar amount and as a percentage of revenues.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing	$	44,940		$	50,540		$	57,496		12	%	14	%
Percent of revenue	17		%	15		%	16		%

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and related expenses for our sales, client services and marketing staff, including sales commissions for our direct sales force and external agent/broker commission expense, as well as communication, promotional, public relations and other marketing expenses.

The $7.0 million or 14% increase in sales and marketing expense from 2015 to 2016 was due primarily to a $6.4 million increase in compensation and outsourced services, printing and reproduction services, and stock-based compensation expense to support the increase in our client base from administering FSAFEDS and channel partner arrangement with Ceridian. These

Table of Contents

increases were offset by a decrease of $1.0 million in outside commissions expense due to termination of our relationship with certain brokers.

The $5.6 million or 12% increase in sales and marketing expense from 2014 to 2015 was due primarily to an increase of $5.4 million related to a full year of CONEXIS operations in 2015, as well as stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million due to new grants of restricted stock units and stock options. The remaining increase in sales and marketing expense was primarily driven by outside sales commissions to support the increase in our client base through our broker relationships and ongoing promotional marketing initiatives.

We continue to invest in sales, client services and marketing by hiring additional personnel and continuing to build our broker and channel relationships. We also promote our brand through a variety of marketing and public relations activities. As a result, we expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase in dollar amounts in future periods.

General and Administrative

General and administrative	$	42,884		$	54,093		$	63,732		26	%	18	%
Percent of revenue	16		%	16		%	17		%

General and administrative expenses include personnel and related expenses and professional fees incurred by our executive, finance, legal, human resources and facilities departments.

The $9.6 million, or 18% increase in general and administrative expenses from 2015 to 2016 was due primarily to a $5.5 million increase in stock-based compensation expense for performance-based restricted stock units based on updated forecasts of revenue growth, given the addition of the newly acquired ADP CHSA/COBRA Business, channel partners, FSAFEDS, and significant customer wins, and new grants of time-based restricted stock units and stock options. The expense was further increased by $3.7 million due to increased headcount and outsourced services, and professional fees to support the increase in customer base and the preparation of a new ERP system implementation.

The $11.2 million, or 26% increase in general and administrative expenses from 2014 to 2015 was due primarily to an increase of $3.7 million related to a full year of CONEXIS operations in 2015 and $4.2 million in stock-based compensation expense, primarily due to new grants of restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and stock options. The remainder of the increase was primarily due to an increase in rent expense associated with new lease agreements at our San Mateo corporate office and our Arizona facility and increase in salaries and personnel-related compensation expense attributable to an increase in headcount.

As we continue to grow, we expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we expand general and administrative headcount to support our continued growth.

Amortization and Change in Contingent Consideration



	Year Ended December 31,						Change from prior year
	2014		2015		2016		2015		2016
	(in thousands)
Amortization and change in contingent consideration	$	20,992	$	27,618	$	34,097	32	%	23	%

Our amortization and change in contingent consideration consists of three components: amortization of internal use software, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and change in contingent consideration. We capitalize our software development costs related to the development and enhancement of our business solution. When the technology is available for its intended use, the capitalized costs are amortized over the technology’s estimated useful life, which is generally four years. Acquisition-related intangible assets are also amortized over their estimated useful lives.

The $6.5 million or 23% increase in amortization and change in contingent consideration line item from 2015 to 2016 was driven primarily by a $3.7 million accelerated amortization of intangible assets resulting from the termination of a significant customer relationship in the health insurance exchange business. The change was further driven by a $3.5 million

Table of Contents

increase in amortization from additions to acquired intangible assets from the channel partner arrangement with Ceridian and acquired ADP CHSA/COBRA Business, offset by a decrease in expense for fully amortized intangibles.

The $6.6 million or 32% increase in amortization and change in contingent consideration from 2014 to 2015 was driven by an increase of $5.4 million in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets as a result of the CONEXIS acquisition and increases from amortization of additions to internal use software offset by a decrease in amortization of intangible assets that were fully amortized in 2015.

Employee Termination and Other Charges

Employee termination and other charges	$	—	$	1,913	$	1,147	100	%	(40	)%

The $0.8 million or 40% decrease from 2015 to 2016 is primarily attributable to severance related costs incurred in 2015 when we executed an organizational efficiency plan which reduced our headcount. These costs were offset primarily by an increase of $0.8 million in transaction costs related to acquisition of the ADP CHSA/COBRA Business.

In the second quarter of 2015, we executed an organizational efficiency plan which reduced our headcount. We recognized charges of $1.9 million in 2015, primarily for severance costs.

Other income (expense)	743			(182		)	1,221			(124	)%	771	%

The $0.3 million or 14% increase in interest expense was due to the first amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement entered into in August 2016 resulting in a higher credit limit with a subsequent borrowing under the revolving credit facility related to acquisition of ADP CHSA/COBRA Business. The change in other income (expense) from 2015 to 2016 was due primarily to the insurance settlement proceeds related to an insurance claim in 2015.

The $0.3 million or 19% increase in interest expense from 2014 to 2015 was due to an increase in borrowing under the revolving credit facility with MUFG Union Bank, N.A. related to the acquisition of CONEXIS. The change in other income (expense) as compared to 2014 was due primarily to expense in insurance claims reserve offset by gain related to the second and final payment from the settlement of a dispute in 2014.

The $3.1 million or 20% decrease in the provision for income taxes from 2015 to 2016 was due primarily to a decrease in income before income taxes in 2016 as compared with 2015.

The $3.1 million or 26% increase in the provision for income taxes from 2014 to 2015 was due primarily to an increase in federal income taxes as result of higher income before income taxes in 2015 as compared to 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2016, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $678.3 million comprised primarily of funding by clients of amounts to be paid on behalf of employee participants as well as other cash flows from operating activities. For the year ended December 31, 2016, our cash flow from operating activities provided $265.0 million.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and expected cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital, debt, capital expenditures and stock repurchase needs, as well as anticipated cash requirements for potential future portfolio purchases, over at least the next 12 months. We have historically been able to fulfill our obligations as incurred and expect to continue to fulfill our obligations in the future. Our expectation is based on our current and anticipated client retention rates and our continuing funding model in which the vast majority of our enterprise clients provide us with prefunds as more fully described below under “—Prefunds.” To the extent these current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, including any potential portfolio purchases; we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms, if at all.

Prefunds

Under our contracts with the vast majority of our employer clients, we receive prefunds that have been and are expected to continue to be a significant source of cash flows from operating activities. Our client contracts do not contain restrictions on our use of client prefunds and, as a result, each prefund is reflected in cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheet with an equivalent customer obligation recorded as a liability as the prefund is received. Changes in these prefunds and the corresponding customer obligations are reflected in our cash flows from operating activities. The timing of when employer clients make their prefunds as well as the timing of when we make payments on behalf of employee participants can significantly affect our cash flows.

The operation of these prefunds for our employer clients throughout the year typically is as follows: at the beginning of a plan year, these employer clients provide us with prefunds for their FSA and HRA programs based on a percentage of projected spending by the employee participants for the plan year and other factors. In the case of our commuter program, at the beginning of each month we receive prefunds based on the employee participants’ monthly elections. These prefunds are typically replenished on a weekly basis by our FSA and HRA employer clients and on a monthly basis by our commuter employer clients, in each case, after we have advanced the funds necessary to process employee participants’ FSA and HRA claims as they are submitted to us and to pay vendors relating to our commuter programs. As a result, our cash balances can vary significantly depending upon the timing of invoicing, the date payment is received from our employer clients of reimbursement for payments we have made on behalf of employee participants. This prefunding activity covers our estimate of approximately one week of spending on behalf of the employer client’s employee participants. We do not require a prefund to administer any of our HSA programs because employee participants in these programs only have access to funds they have previously contributed.

MUFG Union Bank, N.A. Revolving Credit Facility

On June 5, 2015, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement") with certain lenders, including MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. With a $15.0 million subfacility for the issuance of letters of credit, the amendment provides for a $150.0 million revolving credit facility, and an increase option permitting the Company to arrange with existing lenders and/or new lenders to provide up to an aggregate of $100.0 million in additional commitments. The amendment extended the term of the credit facility from July 21, 2017 to June 5, 2020 and reduced the margin added to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to a range of 125 to 175 basis points.

On August 1, 2016, the Company entered into a first amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Amendment") increasing the credit limit of the revolving credit facility to $250.0 million. The Amendment did not change the subfacility limit, terms, or maturity date of the credit facility which remained at June 5, 2020. Subsequent to the Amendment, the Company borrowed additional funds in the amount of $169.9 million from the revolving credit facility in connection with the acquisition of ADP CHSA/COBRA Business. The interest rate applicable to the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2016 is 1.90%. In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred fees of approximately $0.2 million, which are being amortized over the term of the amendment. The fees incurred are classified as a direct deduction from the long-term debt line item in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $249.5 million outstanding under the credit facility.

Amounts borrowed, outstanding letters of credit and amounts available to borrow, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

As collateral for the revolving credit facility, we granted MUFG Union Bank, N.A. a security interest in substantially all of our assets. All of our material existing and future subsidiaries are required to guaranty our obligations under the revolving credit facility. Such guarantees by existing and future material subsidiaries are and will be secured by substantially all of the property of such material subsidiaries.

The revolving credit facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and also has financial covenants relating to a consolidated leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. We are obligated to pay customary commitment fees and letter of credit fees for a facility of this size and type. We are currently in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants under the revolving credit facility.

The revolving credit facility contains customary events of default, including, among others, payment defaults, covenant defaults, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, judgment defaults, a change of control default and bankruptcy and insolvency defaults. Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate will apply on all obligations during the existence of an event of default under the loan agreement at a per annum rate of interest equal to 2.00% above the applicable interest rate. Upon an event of default, the lenders may terminate the commitments, declare the outstanding obligations payable by us to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights and remedies provided for under the revolving credit facility.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities of $265.0 million was comprised of net income and the net effect of significant non-cash items. The primary working capital sources of cash were driven mainly by an increase in customer obligations primarily from funds received from the Federal agencies, employer clients prefunds for FSA and HRA accounts, COBRA and Commuter programs. Funds received from employer clients for COBRA programs were due to the transition of Ceridian's COBRA and direct bill portfolio to the Company in 2016. Furthermore, the increase in funds received for Commuter programs were due to the maximum pre-tax monthly benefit for transit and vanpooling increasing from $130 in 2015 to $255 in 2016, as well as a larger commuter client base.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased in 2015 as compared to 2014 by $59.8 million, due primarily to a $4.7 million increase in profits and a $36.7 million increase in cash provided by our working capital. Cash from operating

activities in 2015 resulted primarily from our net income of $23.0 million being adjusted for the following non-cash items: $6.7 million for depreciation, $27.6 million for amortization and change in contingent consideration and $20.6 million for stock-based compensation expense. Cash from operating activities in 2015 compared to 2014 was further increased by changes in our working capital due primarily to an $18.9 million increase in customer obligation as well as a $2.4 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to the increase in prefunds and timing of payments to transit agencies.

Net cash used in investing activities increased in 2016 as compared to 2015 by $245.4 million, due primarily to an increase in cash consideration for business acquisition of $224.5 million, in which $234.0 million was paid, net of cash received, for the acquisition of ADP CHSA/COBRA Business in 2016 and $9.4 million paid in 2015, for CONEXIS, for the amount held back to cover for any indemnification losses incurred by us, which we are entitled to recover. Cash used in investing activities was further increased by $20.7 million due to cash payments for the acquisition of intangible assets for the transition of Ceridian’s COBRA and direct bill portfolios to the Company. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in capital expenditures.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased in 2015 as compared to 2014 by $27.6 million, due primarily to a decrease in cash consideration for business acquisitions of $34.9 million, in which $44.3 million was paid for the acquisition of CONEXIS in 2014 and $9.4 million was paid in 2015 for the amount held back to cover for any indemnification losses incurred by us, which we are entitled to recover. This decrease was offset by increased expenditures of $6.9 million for internal use software and project costs for the new CONEXIS office.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased in 2016 as compared to the 2015 by $184.5 million, due primarily to an increase in proceeds from long-term debt of $169.7 million, net of debt issuance costs, from our revolving credit facility to finance the acquisition of ADP CHSA/COBRA Business in 2016. It was further increased by proceeds from exercise of stock options, an increase in the excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation arrangements, offset by a decrease in payments related to contingent consideration and payments made for share repurchase activities in 2016.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased in 2015 as compared to 2014 by $53.1 million, due primarily to a decrease in proceeds from long-term debt of $49.7 million related to borrowings under our revolving credit facility to partially fund the acquisition of CONEXIS in 2014. There were no borrowings under the revolving credit facility in 2015. Cash provided by financing activities was further decreased by payments of $5.0 million for share repurchase activities in 2015.

Contractual Obligations

The following table describes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2016:



	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
	(in thousands)
Long-term debt obligations (1)	$	249,500	$	—	$	—	$	249,500	$	—
Interest on long-term debt obligations (2)	16,503		4,811		9,622		2,070		—
Operating lease obligations (3)	47,317		8,654		16,663		15,809		6,191
Purchase Commitments (4)	559		559		—		—		—
Total	$	313,879	$	14,024	$	26,285	$	267,379	$	6,191

(1)

As of December 31, 2016, maximum borrowings under the revolving credit facility are $250.0 million with a base rate determined in accordance with the credit agreement or, at our option, LIBOR plus a spread of 1.25% to 1.75% per annum, and a maturity date of June 5, 2020. At December 31, 2016, we had $249.5 million of outstanding principal which is recorded net of debt issuance costs on our consolidated balance sheets. The debt issuance costs are not included in the table above.


(2)	Estimated interest payments assume the interest rate applicable as of December 31, 2016 of 1.90% per annum on a $249.5 million principal amount.


(3)	We lease facilities under non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through 2023.


(4)	Purchase commitments related to leasehold improvements at one of our office facilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than outstanding letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. The majority of the standby letters of credit mature in one year. However, in the ordinary course of business, we will continue to renew or modify the terms of the letters of credit to support business requirements. The letters of credit are contingent liabilities, supported by our revolving credit facility, and are not reflected on our consolidated balance sheets.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may affect our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. We are exposed to market risks related to changes in interest rates.

As of December 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $678.3 million. These amounts consist of cash on deposit with banks and money market funds. The cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we do not believe that changes in interest rates would have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations. However, declines in interest rates and cash balances will reduce future investment income.

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. This objective is accomplished by making diversified investments, consisting only of investment grade securities. The decrease in interest income from the effect of a hypothetical decrease in short-term interest rates of 10% would not have a material impact on our net income and cash flows.

Our exposure to market risk also relates to the increase or decrease in the amount of interest expense we must pay on our outstanding debt instruments. As of December 31, 2016, we had outstanding principal of $249.5 million under our credit facility. Each loan under the credit facility bears interest at a base rate determined in accordance with the credit agreement, or at our option, a LIBOR rate determined in accordance with the credit agreement, plus a spread of 1.25% to 1.75%, as of December 31, 2016. The increase in interest expense from the effect of a hypothetical change in interest rates of 1% would not have a material impact on our net income and cash flows.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

WageWorks, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of WageWorks, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of WageWorks, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), WageWorks, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 23, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

WageWorks, Inc.:

We have audited WageWorks, Inc.’s (the Company’s) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). WageWorks, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, WageWorks, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

The Company acquired the ADP CHSA/COBRA Business on November 28, 2016, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, the ADP CHSA/COBRA Business’ internal control over financial reporting which represented less than 5% of total assets and total revenues as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, after excluding goodwill and intangible assets recorded upon the ADP CHSA/COBRA Business acquisition. The recognition of goodwill and intangible assets were subject to management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting. Our audit of the internal control over financial reporting of the company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of the ADP CHSA/COBRA Business.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of WageWorks, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016, and our report dated February 23, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

(1)	Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Business

WageWorks, Inc., (together with its subsidiaries, “WageWorks” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 2000. The Company is a leader in administering Consumer-Directed Benefits (“CDBs”), which empower employees to save money on taxes while also providing corporate tax advantages for employers. The Company operates as a single reportable segment on an entity level basis.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WageWorks, Inc., and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosure in conformity with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Company must make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to allocation of purchase consideration to acquired assets and liabilities from business combination, allowances for doubtful accounts, estimates of future cash flows associated with assets, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, loss contingencies, income taxes, the assumptions used for stock-based compensation, the assumptions used for software and web site development cost classification, and valuation and impairments of goodwill and long-lived assets. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In making its estimates, the Company considers the current economic and legislative environment in the estimates and has considered those factors when reviewing the assumptions and estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents, which consist of cash on deposit with banks and money market funds, are stated at cost. To the extent the Company’s contracts do not provide for any restrictions on the Company’s use of cash that it receives from clients, the cash is recorded as cash and cash equivalents.

In all cases where we have collected cash from a customer but not fulfilled services, the Company recognizes a related liability to its customers, classified as customer obligations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Restricted cash represents cash used to collateralize standby letters of credit.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The carrying amount of financial instruments approximates fair value because of their short maturity. Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016, but which require disclosure of their fair values include: cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash), accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and debt under the line of credit with certain lenders. The estimated fair value of such instruments at December 31, 2016 approximates their carrying value as reported on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of all of these instruments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, with the exception of cash, which is categorized as Level 1 due to its short term nature.

The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:


•	Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.


•	Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.


•	Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

The contingent consideration payables related to the acquisitions of Benefit Concepts, Inc. (“BCI”) Crosby Benefit Systems, Inc. (“CBS”) were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and are adjusted quarterly to fair value. The increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration payable resulted from changes in anticipated revenue levels and changes in assumed discount periods and rates. As the fair value measure was based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, they are categorized as Level 3. The final contingent consideration payment for BCI was paid during the first quarter of 2016.

The following table provides a reconciliation between the beginning and ending balances of items measured at fair value on a recurring basis that used significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in thousands):

The Company measures contingent consideration elements each reporting period at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value in earnings each period in the amortization and change in contingent consideration line item on the consolidated statements of income, until the contingency is resolved. Losses on revaluation of contingent consideration result from accretion charges due to the passage of time and fair value adjustments due to changes in forecasted revenue levels.

The Company recorded a $0.1 million and an immaterial charge related to the change in fair value of the contingent considerations during 2015 and 2016, respectively, as a result of accretion charges due to the passage of time.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent both amounts receivable in relation to fees for the Company’s services and unpaid amounts by customers for benefit services of participants provided by third-party vendors, such as transit agencies and healthcare providers. The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts by reference to reserves for specific accounts. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Write-offs for 2014, 2015 and 2016 were not significant.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on computer and equipment and furniture and fixtures is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of those assets, ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the lease term. When events or circumstances suggest an asset’s life is different than initially estimated, management reassesses the useful life of the asset and recognizes future depreciation prospectively over the revised life.

When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts, and any gain or loss on such sale or disposal is reflected in operating expenses.

Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that substantially increase an asset’s useful life are capitalized.

Software and Web Site Development Costs

Costs incurred to develop software are capitalized and recognized over the technology’s estimated useful life, generally four years, as amortization in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. When events or circumstances suggest an asset’s life is different than initially estimated, management reassesses the useful life of the asset and recognizes future amortization prospectively over the revised life. Costs incurred related to the planning and post implementation phases of development are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with the platform content or the repair or maintenance of the existing platforms is expensed as incurred.

The Company capitalizes interest on major construction or acquisition projects where the financial statement effect of capitalization versus current expense recognition is likely to be material. Capitalized interest related to software and development costs were immaterial for the three years ended December 31, 2016.

Accounting for Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets consist primarily of software development costs, office equipment, leasehold improvements and definite-lived assets. An impairment of long-lived assets exists when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset group, exceeds its fair value. Impairment losses are recorded when the carrying amount of the impaired asset group is not recoverable. Recoverability is determined by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows which are expected to be generated from its use. If the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds its fair value. The Company did not record impairment losses related to long-lived assets in any of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016.

Acquisitions and Goodwill

The cost of acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in the acquisition.

The Company performs a goodwill impairment test annually on December 31^st and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The following are examples of triggering events (none of which occurred in 2015 or 2016) that could indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit has fallen below the unit’s carrying amount:


•	A significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate


•	An adverse action or assessment by a regulator


•	Unanticipated competition


•	A loss of key personnel


•	A more-likely than-not expectation that a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed of

WAGEWORKS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. When reviewing goodwill for impairment, the Company assesses whether goodwill should be allocated to operating levels lower than the Company’s single operating segment for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed for decision-making purposes. These lower levels are referred to as reporting units. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, does not allocate resources or assess performance at the individual healthcare, commuter, COBRA or other revenue stream level, but rather at the operating segment level. Discrete financial information is therefore not maintained at the revenue stream level. The Company’s one reporting unit was determined to be the Company’s one operating segment.

The goodwill impairment analysis is a two-step process: first, the reporting unit’s estimated fair value is compared to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the Company determines that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company moves to the second step to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation.

Whenever events or circumstances change, entities have the option to first make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment. If impairment is deemed more likely than not, management would perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. In assessing the qualitative factors, the Company assesses relevant events and circumstances that may impact the fair value and the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The identification of relevant events and circumstances and how these may impact a reporting unit’s fair value or carrying amount involve significant judgments and assumptions. The judgment and assumptions include the identification of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, Company specific events and share price trends and making the assessment on whether each relevant factor will impact the impairment test positively or negatively and the magnitude of any such impact. At December 31, 2016, the Company completed its annual goodwill impairment assessment and management concluded that goodwill is not impaired and the two-step goodwill impairment test was not deemed necessary.

To date, the Company has not made any impairment adjustments to goodwill as the fair value of its reporting unit determined as the market capitalization of the Company on the testing date in all prior years has always exceeded its carrying value by a significant amount.

Income Taxes

The Company reports income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements, as well as from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax amounts are determined by using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under current enacted tax law. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance reduces the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

The Company then records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized based on its judgment of all available positive and negative evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence is commensurate with the extent to which the strength of the evidence can be objectively verified. This assessment, which is completed on a taxing jurisdiction basis, takes into account a number of types of evidence, including the following:

• The nature and history of current or cumulative financial reporting income or losses;

• Sources of future taxable income;

• The anticipated reversal or expiration dates of the deferred tax assets; and

• Tax planning strategies.

The Company takes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring the financial statement benefit of uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining whether the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement of the audit. The Company classifies interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense or benefit.

Revenue Recognition

The Company reports revenue based on the following product lines: Healthcare, Commuter, COBRA and Other revenue. Healthcare and Commuter include revenues generated from benefit service fees based on employee participant levels and interchange and other commission revenues. Interchange and other commission revenues are based on a percentage of total healthcare and commuter dollars transacted pursuant to written purchase agreements with certain vendors and banks. COBRA revenue is generated from the administration of continuation of coverage services for participants who are no longer eligible for their employer’s health benefits, such as medical, dental, vision and for the continued administration of employee participants’ Health Reimbursement Arrangements (“HRAs”), and certain healthcare Flexible Spending Accounts (“FSAs”). Other revenue includes services related to enrollment and eligibility, non-healthcare, and employee account administration (i.e., tuition and health club reimbursements) and project-related professional services.

The Company recognizes revenue when collectability is reasonably assured, service has been performed, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and there is a fixed or determinable fee.

Benefit service fees are recognized on a monthly basis as services are rendered and earned under service arrangements where fees and commissions are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Benefit service fees are based on a fee for service model (e.g., monthly fee per participant) in which revenue is recognized on a monthly basis as services are rendered under price quotations or service agreements having stipulated terms and conditions, which do not require management to make any significant judgments or assumptions regarding any potential uncertainties. Fees received for initial setup of clients and annual renewal fees are deferred and recognized on a monthly basis as services are rendered over the agreed benefit period. Contracts with initial setup fees generally have an initial term of one year. The agreed benefit period means the length of the benefit plan year, which is one year. The initial setup fees and annual renewal fees are not considered separable from the ongoing services provided for which benefit service fees are earned.

Vendor and bank interchange revenues are attributed to revenue sharing arrangements the Company enters into with certain banks and card associations, whereby the Company shares a portion of the transaction fees earned by these financial institutions on debit cards the Company issues to its employee participants based on a percentage of total dollars transacted as reported on third-party reports. Commission revenue entails the Company purchasing passes on behalf of its employee participants from various transit agencies and due to the significant volume of purchases, the Company receives commissions on these passes which the Company records on a net basis. Commission revenue is recognized on a monthly basis as transactions are placed under written purchase agreements having stipulated terms and conditions, which do not require management to make any significant judgments or assumptions regarding any potential uncertainties. In addition, the Company recognizes revenue on its estimate of passes that will expire unused over the estimated useful life of the passes, as the amounts paid for these passes are nonrefundable to both the employer client and the employee participant.

Professional service fees are related to services provided to the Company’s employer clients to accommodate their reporting or administrative requirements. These projects are discrete contracts and are not entered into contemporaneously with any other services the Company provides. The professional services revenues are recognized upon completion of services or projects in accordance with agreed upon terms and conditions, which do not require management to make any significant judgments or assumptions regarding any potential uncertainties and where fees are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock unit awards and stock options based on the estimated fair value of the award at the grant date. Stock-based compensation is recognized an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally over the vesting period of the award) on a straight-line basis (see Note 11 – Employee Benefit Plans)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). Under ASU 2014-09, 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 and services. Additionally, the guidance requires improved disclosures to help users of

Table of Contents

WAGEWORKS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB has issued several ASUs such as ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, and ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customer, among others. These ASUs do not change the core principle of the guidance stated in ASU 2014-09.

The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the earliest period shown, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application.

We are in the process of reviewing our significant contracts in effect during the adoption period and are evaluating the impact of certain aspects of the new standard. Based on these initial reviews, we have identified the following areas of focus: evaluation of setup services and associated fees; treatment of variable consideration for certain revenue streams; and consideration of treatment of costs to obtain a contract. We also expect the new standard to require us to provide additional footnote disclosures upon adoption. We anticipate completing our assessment process by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2017. We will adopt the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and are currently making an assessment of the adoption method.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases, (“ASU 2016-02”). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The new standard is required to be applied with a modified retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented with various optional practical expedients. The Company is currently assessing what impact, the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2016-04, Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products, (“ASU 2016-04”). The new guidance creates an exception under ASC 405-20, Liabilities-Extinguishments of Liabilities, to derecognize financial liabilities related to certain prepaid stored-value products using a revenue-like breakage model. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. This guidance can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently assessing what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB Issued Accounting Standards Update No 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, (“ASU 2016-09”). The updated guidance changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payment awards to employees, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The update to the standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-09 on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 which is expected to have an impact on the recording of excess tax benefits in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income, as well as the operating and financing cash flows on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The magnitude of such impact is dependent upon future grants, the Company's future stock price in relation to the fair value of awards on the grant date and the stock option exercise behavior. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the remaining provisions of this guidance.

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, ("ASU 2016-15"). The update provides specific guidance on a number of cash flow classification issues including contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The update to the standard is effective for fiscal years and interim period within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

(3)	Acquisitions and Channel Partner Arrangements

Ceridian Channel Partner Arrangement

In July 2013, the Company entered into a channel partner arrangement with Ceridian Corporation, or Ceridian, a global product and services company. Pursuant to the arrangement, Ceridian’s CDB account administration business for FSA and HRA was fully transitioned to the Company as of January 2015 with a final purchase price of $13.5 million. In conjunction with the transition, the Company also entered into a separate reseller arrangement with Ceridian.

In September 2015, the Company entered into another agreement with Ceridian to transition their COBRA and direct bill portfolio to the Company. In April 2016, the Company has completed the transition of this portfolio. The total cash consideration paid in 2015 and 2016 was $0.4 million and $21.1 million, recorded as acquired intangible assets. This relationship also allows Ceridian as a channel partner to resell the Company’s COBRA and direct bill services to their new and existing clients in addition to the full suite of healthcare and commuter products they have been selling.

CONEXIS Acquisition

On August 1, 2014, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with CONEXIS Benefits Administrators, LP (“CONEXIS”), a Texas limited partnership and Word & Brown Insurance Administrator, Inc., a California corporation, pursuant to which the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of CONEXIS. CONEXIS is a leader in employee benefits administration and serves approximately 16,000 organizations of all sizes. This acquisition added a new base of CDBs customers and participant relationships. The purchase price was $118.0 million, adjusted for working capital adjustments, of which $108.0 million was paid at closing with the remaining balance classified in the consolidated balance sheets in the other current liabilities line item. The holdback obligation of $10.0 million was settled for $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2015 after working capital adjustments. The results of operations for CONEXIS have been included in the Company’s financial results since the acquisition.

Acquisition of the ADP CHSA/COBRA Business

WAGEWORKS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

On November 28, 2016, the Company completed the Asset Purchase Agreement ("APA") with Automatic Data Processing Inc. ("ADP"), a leading global provider of Human Capital Management solutions, to acquire ADP’s Consumer Health Spending Account ("CHSA"), COBRA, and direct bill businesses (together defined as the "ADP CHSA/COBRA Business") for approximately $235.0 million in cash. In connection with the APA, the Company borrowed $169.9 million against its $250.0 million revolving credit facility which had a maturity date of June 5, 2020.

Purchase Price Consideration and Allocation for the ADP CHSA/COBRA Business

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), the acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase consideration, assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at fair value as of the date of acquisition when control is obtained. The fair value of the consideration transferred and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was determined by the Company and in doing so relied in part upon a third-party valuation report to estimate the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired. The following table summarizes the fair value of total consideration transferred for the acquisition, the total fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and the goodwill recorded (in thousands):

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired and liabilities assumed (amount in thousands):



Cash consideration	$	235,000
Less: Fair value of net identifiable assets acquired	(94,700		)
Goodwill	140,300

The estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition is based on management’s best estimates and valuation assumptions. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of November 28, 2016:



	Weighted
	Average
	Useful Life	Amount
	(in years)	(in thousands)
Cash		$	1,035

Intangible assets subject to amortization:
Customer relationships	10	93,900
Existing technology - CHSA	2	500
Existing technology - COBRA	2	300

million options outstanding. Any forfeitures or shares remaining under the plan are canceled and not available for reissue. No further grants will be made under the 2000 Plan.

Options under the 2000 Plan and the 2010 Plan (“the Plans”) expire 10 years after the date of grant and generally vest over 4 years with 25% vesting after one year and the balance vesting monthly over the remaining period. The Company issues new shares upon the exercise of stock options.

As of December 31, 2016, there was $21.0 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested stock-based awards which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, was $28.4 million, $17.1 million and $37.0 million, respectively. Cash received from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements was $6.7 million, $6.6 million and $16.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. The Company elected to follow the tax law method of determining realization of excess tax benefits for stock-based compensation. There was approximately $10.4 million, $11.2 million and $17.9 million of excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation that was recorded to stockholders’ equity during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

(b) Valuation Assumptions

The Company calculated the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Table of Contents

WAGEWORKS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



	Year Ended December 31,
	2014		2015		2016
Expected volatility	46.90	%	43.48	%	42.63	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.87	%	1.56	%	1.17	%
Expected term (in years)	6.09		4.74		4.87
Dividend yield	—	%	—	%	—	%

Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The determination of the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. Expected volatility is determined using weighted-average volatility of peer publicly traded companies as well as the Company’s own historical volatility. The Company expects that it will increase weighting of its own historical data in future periods, as that history grows over time. The risk-free interest rate is determined by using published zero coupon rates on treasury notes for each grant date given the expected term on the options. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company expects to invest cash in operations and has not paid cash dividends on its common stock. The Company estimates the expected term based on historical experience, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior such as exercises and forfeitures.

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of income based on awards ultimately expected to vest, and is reduced for estimated pre-vest forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The estimate of pre-vesting of forfeitures is based on weighted average historical forfeiture rates.

The Company grants restricted stock units ("RSU") to certain employees, officers, and directors under the 2010 Plan. Restricted stock units vest upon either performance-based, market-based or service-based criteria.

Performance-based restricted stock units vest based on the satisfaction of specific performance criteria. At each vesting date, the holder of the award is issued shares of the Company’s common stock. Compensation expense from these awards is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is recognized over the remaining service period based on the probable outcome of achievement of the financial metrics used in the specific grant's performance criteria. Management’s estimate of the number of shares expected to vest is based on the anticipated achievement of the specified performance criteria.

Market-based performance restricted stock units are granted such that they vest upon the achievement of certain per share price targets of the Company’s common stock during a specified performance period. The fair market values of market-based performance restricted stock units are determined using the Monte Carlo simulation method. The Monte Carlo simulation method is subject to variability as several factors utilized must be estimated including the future daily stock price of the Company’s common stock over the specified performance period, the Company’s stock price volatility and risk-free interest rate. The amount of compensation expense is equal to the per share fair value calculated under the Monte Carlo simulation multiplied by the number of market-based performance restricted stock units granted, recognized over the specified performance period.

Generally, service-based restricted stock units vest over a four year period in equal annual installments commencing upon the first anniversary date of the grant date.

In the first quarter of 2014, 2015, and 2016, the Company granted a total of 106,500, 140,000, and 263,000, respectively, of performance-based restricted stock units to certain executive officers. Performance-based restricted stock units are typically granted such that they vest upon the achievement of certain revenue growth rates, and other financial metrics, during a specified three year performance period for which participants have the ability to receive up to a maximum of 150%, for 2014 and 2015 grants, or 200%, for 2016 grants, of the target number of shares originally granted.

In the second quarter of 2014, the Company granted a total of 199,000 market-based performance restricted stock units to certain executive officers. The number of shares to be vested is subject to change based on certain market conditions. In the

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

third quarter of 2014, one of the executives resigned and 33,000 market-based performance restricted stock units were forfeited and canceled.

The market-based performance restricted stock units will be eligible to vest based on the Company’s achievement of certain per share price of its common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), for any 20 consecutive trading day period during the specified performance period.

Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $6.0 million, $13.0 million and $19.9 million in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Total unrecorded stock-based compensation expense at December 31, 2016 associated with restricted stock units was $29.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.54 years.

The following table summarizes information about restricted stock units issued to officers, directors, and employees under the 2010 Plan:

Includes additional shares issued as specified financial metrics for the performance-based restricted stock units, granted to certain executives in 2013, during the performance period of January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2015 were met, resulting in actual shares vesting at 150% of the target number of shares originally granted. The weighted average grant date fair value of these additional shares was $24.68.


(2)	Includes 264,000 shares vested from performance-based restricted stock units granted to certain executives in 2013 representing 150% of the target number of shares originally granted.

(d) Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In May 2012, the Company established the 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) which is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The Company issued 52,727 common stock shares for which it received $2.2 million from employee contributions during 2016. At December 31, 2016, a total of 1,534,692 shares of the Company’s common stock are available for sale under the ESPP. In addition, the ESPP provides for annual increases in the number of shares available for issuance under the ESPP on the first day of each fiscal year, equal to the least of:


•	500,000 shares of common stock;


•	1% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of the last day of its immediately preceding fiscal year; or


•	such other amount as may be determined by the board of directors.

Under the ESPP, employees are eligible to purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 25% of their eligible compensation, subject to any plan limitations. The ESPP has four consecutive offering periods of approximately three months in length during the year and the purchase price of the shares is 85% of the lower of the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the last day of the offering period.

(e) 401(k) Plan

The Company participates in the WageWorks 401(k) Plan (“401(k) Plan”), a tax-deferred savings plan covering all of its employees working more than 1,000 hours per year. Employees become participants in the 401(k) Plan on the first day of any month following the first day of employment. Eligible employees may contribute up to 85% of their compensation to the 401(k) Plan, limited to the maximum allowed under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company, at its discretion, may match up to 40%

of the first 6% of employees’ contributions and may make additional contributions to the 401(k) Plan. The Company contributed approximately $1.0 million, $1.3 million, and $1.8 million for each 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively.


(12)	Income Taxes

The Company reports income taxes using an asset and liability approach, under which deferred income taxes are provided based upon enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the taxes become payable. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. Presently, there are no income tax examinations on-going in the jurisdictions where the Company operates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company’s accounting for deferred taxes involves the evaluation of a number of factors concerning the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets. Assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets is dependent upon several factors, including the likelihood and amount, if any, of future taxable income in relevant jurisdictions during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company’s management forecasts taxable income by considering all available positive and negative evidence including its history of operating income or losses and its financial plans and estimates which are used to manage the business. The Company has concluded there was sufficient positive evidence at the end of 2014, 2015 and 2016 to continue to support the position that the Company does not need to maintain a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. These assumptions require significant judgment about future taxable income. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable is subject to adjustment in future periods if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

At December 31, 2016, unrecognized tax benefits approximated $4.7 million, which would impact income tax expense if recognized. Included in the balance at December 31, 2016 is $0.2 million of current year tax positions, which would affect the Company’s income tax expense if recognized. The Company does not anticipate that any adjustments would result in a material change to its financial position within the next twelve months. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):



	Year Ended December 31,
	2014			2015			2016
Balance, beginning of year	3,716			4,109			4,429
Increase in tax positions for prior years	—			134			201

Other decreases	—			(133		)	(136		)
Balance, end of year	$	4,109		$	4,429		$	4,730

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states jurisdictions. As a result of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards, the 2002 through 2015 tax years are open and may be subject to potential examination in one or more jurisdictions.

At December 31, 2016, the Company has federal and state operating loss carryforwards of approximately $0.1 million and $22.7 million, respectively, available to offset future regular and alternative minimum taxable income. The Company’s state net operating loss carryforward is on a post-apportionment basis. The Company’s federal net operating loss carryforwards expire in the year 2033, if not utilized. The state net operating loss carryforwards expire in the years 2017 through 2033.

In addition, the Company had federal and California and other state research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $6.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively, available to offset future tax liabilities. The federal research credit carryforwards expire beginning in the years 2023 through 2036, if not fully utilized. The state research credit carries forward indefinitely for the state of California and other states begin to expire in years 2035 through 2036. In addition, we have $0.1 million of state investment tax credits that will begin to expire in years 2017 through 2019, if not fully utilized.

The Company’s ability to utilize the net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards are subject to limitations in the event of an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) of 1986, as amended, and similar state tax law. In general, an ownership change occurs if the aggregate stock ownership of certain stockholders increases by more than 50 percentage points over such stockholders’ lowest percentage ownership during the testing period (generally three years). The Company has considered Section 382 of the IRC and concluded that any ownership change would not diminish the Company’s utilization of its net operating loss or its research and development credits during the carryover periods.

The Company elected to follow the tax law method of determining realization of excess tax benefits for stock-based compensation. During 2016, the Company recorded approximately $17.9 million of excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation that was credited to stockholders’ equity during the year.

(b) Legal Matters

The Company is involved from time to time in claims that arise in the normal course of its business. The Company is not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to management’s knowledge, is any litigation threatened against the Company that collectively is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.


(14)	Related Party

The National Flex Trust (“the Trust”), established by one of the previously acquired entities of the Company, is to provide reimbursement of qualified expenses to plan participants under certain employer plans that have contracted with the Company to provide the plan services using a custodial account (“the Trust Account”). The client is responsible for maintaining the employer plan for their participants, including the establishment of eligibility and paying all eligible claim amounts owed to their participants. The Company is an independent contractor engaged to perform administration services. As an administrator, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the Trust that would most significantly impact the Trust’s economic performance.

Under a Management Agreement for Services to the Trust, the Company provides services to the Trust, including accounting, treasury, tax, administration, and management. The Trust pays the Company monthly for the services provided based on plan participants and/or debit cards administered. For the past several years, the Trust’s earnings have been insufficient to cover these costs and, consequently, the Company has not recognized these fees during this period. Trust expenses subsidized by the Company were $100,000, $71,000 and $80,000 in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

The Company has a long-term receivable due from the Trust totaling $1.0 million which the Trust holds with its banks, as a security deposit for the settlement of participant claims. The Company has recorded this receivable within other assets on its consolidated balance sheets.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.

Subject to the limitations noted above, based on their evaluation at the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have

evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) on Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). The Company acquired the ADP CHSA/COBRA Business on November 28, 2016, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, the ADP CHSA/COBRA Business’ internal control over financial reporting which represented less than 5% of total assets and total revenue as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, after excluding goodwill and intangible assets recorded upon the acquisition of the ADP CHSA/COBRA Business. The recognition of goodwill and intangible assets were subject to management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting. See Note 3-Acquisitions and Channel Partner Arrangements to our consolidated financial statements included in Item-8-Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this report for pro forma information. Based on this assessment, our CEO and CFO concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2016.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which appears in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) or the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
