ASGN INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The December 31, 2018 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. The financial statements include adjustments consisting of normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of ASGN Incorporated and its subsidiaries ("ASGN" or the "Company") and its results of operations for the interim dates and periods set forth herein. The results for any of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 ("2018 10-K").
2. Accounting Standards Update
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). This standard requires a financial asset to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. The Company will adopt this standard prospectively effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments in this standard align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The amendments in this standard also provide guidance on the financial statement presentation for the capitalized implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The Company will adopt this standard prospectively effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
3. Leases
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02 Leases (Accounting Standards Codification Topic "ASC" 842), which requires lessees to recognize most operating leases on the balance sheet as a right of use ("ROU") asset and lease liability. The Company adopted this standard using the optional transition method measuring and recognizing the ROU asset and lease liability from operating leases on the condensed consolidated balance sheet without comparative period information or disclosures. The adoption of the standard did not have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, stockholders' equity or cash flows.
The Company elected the package of practical expedients which specifies entities do not need to reassess expired or existing contracts as of the adoption date for the following items: (i) determination of whether a contract is or contains a lease, (ii) revising classification of leases and (iii) assessment of initial direct costs. For existing or expired contracts as of the adoption date, the determinations made for these items under the previous accounting standard (ASC 840) were retained at transition, as allowed by this package of practical expedients.
The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, branch offices and data centers. At the transition date, the operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liability were $93.9 million and $99.4 million, respectively. The difference between the operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liability is due to deferred rent and prepaid rent balances that were reclassified as a component of the ROU asset at the transition date.
The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of one month to eight years. At the inception of a contract, the Company determines if the contract contains a lease. A contract contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date, based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments. Since most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) in determining the present value of lease payments. In determining the IBR, the Company considers its credit rating and the current market interest rates. The IBR approximates the interest rate the Company would pay on collateralized debt with similar terms and payments as the lease agreements and in a similar economic environment where the leased assets are located. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less ("short-term leases") are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company does not have finance leases.
Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is primarily included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Some lease agreements offer renewal options which are assessed against relevant economic factors to determine whether it is reasonably certain that these renewal options will be exercised. As a result of this assessment, for most leases, renewal options were excluded from the minimum lease payments when calculating the operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, as the Company does not consider the exercise of such options to be reasonably certain.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component for all underlying asset classes. Some leases require variable payments for common area maintenance, property taxes, parking, insurance and other variable costs. The variable portion of lease payments is not included in operating lease ROU assets or operating lease liabilities. Variable lease costs are expensed when incurred.
Components of lease expense were as follows (in millions):

|  | Three Months Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
|  | September 30, 2019 |  | September 30, 2019
Operating lease expense |  | $ | 8.1 |  |  | $ | 24.0 |
Short-term lease expense |  | 0.5 |  |  | 1.3 |
Variable lease expense |  | 1.9 |  |  | 4.2 |
Total lease expense |  | $ | 10.5 |  |  | $ | 29.5 |

The Company leases two properties owned indirectly by certain board members and an executive of the Company. Rent expense for these two properties was $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (in millions):

Cash paid for operating lease liabilities |  | $ | 24.6 |
Operating lease ROU assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities |  | $ | 13.0 |
Weighted-average remaining lease term of operating leases |  | 4.1 years |
Weighted-average discount rate of operating leases |  | 4.5 | %

Maturities of operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2019 (in millions):

Remainder of 2019 |  | $ | 7.2 |
2020 |  | 28.2 |
2021 |  | 24.2 |
2022 |  | 18.5 |
2023 |  | 12.7 |
Thereafter |  | 9.7 |
Total future minimum lease payments |  | 100.5 |
Less imputed interest |  | (8.9 | )
Total operating lease liabilities |  | $ | 91.6 |

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has additional operating leases, primarily for real estate and data centers that have not yet commenced, with total future lease payments of approximately $19.2 million and $10.4 million, respectively. These operating leases will commence in 2019 with lease terms of approximately 7.4 years and 3 years, respectively.
In the prior year, rent expense was $8.6 million and $24.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

4. Acquisitions
Assets and liabilities of all acquired companies are recorded at their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets was primarily determined using a discounted cash flow method (a non-recurring fair value measurement based on Level 3 inputs). Goodwill represents the acquired assembled workforce, potential new customers and future cash flows after the acquisition.
DHA Acquisition
On January 25, 2019, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of DHA Group, Inc. ("DHA"), headquartered in Washington, D.C. for $48.5 million, which included $2.5 million for excess working capital. DHA is a provider of IT services mainly to the FBI as well as other federal customers. Identifiable intangible assets related to this acquisition totaled $19.0 million and goodwill related to this acquisition was $24.7 million, which is tax deductible. The results of operations for this acquisition have been combined with those of the Company from the acquisition date and are included within the ECS Segment (see Note 11. Segment Reporting).
ECS Acquisition
On April 2, 2018, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of ECS Federal, LLC ("ECS") for $775.0 million. ECS, which is headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, is a leading provider of government IT services and solutions. The ECS acquisition allows the Company to compete in the Federal IT and professional services sector. The purchase accounting for this acquisition was finalized as of December 31, 2018. Goodwill related to this acquisition totaled $528.2 million, of which $514.2 million is deductible for income tax purposes. Identifiable intangible assets related to this acquisition totaled $195.0 million. The weighted-average amortization period for identifiable intangible assets, excluding trademark, is 11 years. The results of operations for this acquisition have been combined with those of the Company from the acquisition date and are included within the ECS Segment.
The summary below (in millions, except for per share data) presents pro forma unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as if the acquisition of ECS by the Company and the acquisition of a business by ECS in April 2017, both occurred on January 1, 2017. The pro forma unaudited condensed consolidated results give effect to, among other things: (i) amortization of intangible assets, (ii) stock-based compensation expense and the related dilution for restricted stock units granted to ECS employees, (iii) interest expense on acquisition-related debt and (iv) the exclusion of nonrecurring expenses incurred by ECS prior to its acquisition by the Company for ECS’ acquisition-related activities and costs incurred in the sale of ECS to the Company. The pro forma results do not include pre-acquisition results of DHA due to its size. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the acquisitions been consummated as of the date indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results.

6. Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt consisted of the following (in millions):

| September 30, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
$200 million revolving credit facility, due March 31, 2023 | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
Term B loan facility, due June 6, 2022 | 218.0 |  |  | 337.0 |
Term B loan facility, due April 2, 2025 | 787.0 |  |  | 787.0 |
| 1,005.0 |  |  | 1,124.0 |
Unamortized deferred loan costs | (19.8 | ) |  | (23.6 | )
| $ | 985.2 |  |  | $ | 1,100.4 |

Borrowings under the term B loans bear interest at LIBOR, plus 2.00 percent. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.25 to 2.25 percent, or the bank’s base rate plus 0.25 to 1.25 percent, depending on leverage levels. A commitment fee of 0.20 percent to 0.35 percent is payable on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2019, the weighted average interest rate was 4.04 percent.
For the term B loan that matures on June 6, 2022, there are no required minimum payments until its maturity date. For the term B loan that matures on April 2, 2025, the Company is required to make minimum quarterly payments of $2.1 million; however, as a result of principal payments made through September 30, 2019, the first required minimum quarterly payment of $2.1 million is not due until September 30, 2022. The Company is also required to make mandatory prepayments on its term loans from excess cash flow and with the proceeds of asset sales, debt issuances and specified other events, subject to certain exceptions. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and has various restrictive covenants, including the maximum ratio of consolidated secured debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). The maximum permitted ratio of consolidated secured debt to consolidated EBITDA was 4.50 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2019, and steps down at regular intervals to 3.75 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2021 and thereafter. The credit facility also contains certain customary limitations including, among other terms and conditions, the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers and acquisitions and declare dividends.
At September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants; its ratio of consolidated secured debt to consolidated EBITDA was 2.26 to 1.00 and it had $196.1 million of available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $3.9 million and $4.4 million undrawn stand-by letters of credit outstanding to secure certain obligations.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company carries retention policies for its workers’ compensation liability exposures. The workers' compensation loss reserves are based upon an actuarial study conducted by a third-party specialist. Changes in estimates and differences between estimates and the actual payments for claims are recognized in the period that the estimates change or the payments are made.
The Company’s deferred compensation plan liability was $11.0 million and $6.2 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and was primarily included in other long-term liabilities. The Company established a rabbi trust to fund the deferred compensation plan (see Note 12. Fair Value Measurements).
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the disposition of matters that are pending or asserted will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
8. Revenues
The Company’s contracts have termination for convenience provisions and do not have substantive termination penalties; therefore, the contract duration for accounting purposes may be less than the stated terms. For accounting purposes, the Company's contracts with customers are considered to be of a short-term nature (one year or less). The Company does not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for short-term contracts.
The Company has contract liabilities of $6.4 million and $9.8 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, for payments received in advance of providing services under certain contracts. Contract liabilities are included in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are generally recognized as revenues within three months from the balance sheet date.
10

9. Income Taxes
For interim reporting periods, the Company’s provision for income taxes is calculated using its annualized estimated effective tax rate for the year. This rate is based on its estimated full-year income and the related income tax expense for each jurisdiction in which the Company operates. The effective tax rate can be affected by changes in the geographical mix, permanent differences and the estimate of full-year pretax income. This rate is adjusted for the effects of discrete items occurring in the period.
10. Earnings per Share
The following is a reconciliation of the shares used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions):

| Three Months Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
| September 30, |  | September 30,
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to compute basic earnings per share | 52.8 |  |  | 52.4 |  |  | 52.7 |  |  | 52.3 |
Dilutive effect of stock-based awards | 0.6 |  |  | 0.6 |  |  | 0.7 |  |  | 0.7 |
Number of shares used to compute diluted earnings per share | 53.4 |  |  | 53.0 |  |  | 53.4 |  |  | 53.0 |

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were 0.2 million share equivalents outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive when applying the treasury stock method. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 the amount of anti-dilutive share equivalents outstanding were insignificant.

12. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued payroll and contractor professional pay approximate their fair value based on their short-term nature. The fair value of the term B loans was $1.0 billion as of September 30, 2019, excluding the $19.8 million of unamortized deferred loan costs (see Note 6. Long-Term Debt) and was determined using Level 1 inputs (quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities) from the fair value hierarchy.
The Company had investments, primarily mutual funds, of $11.0 million and $6.2 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, held in a rabbi trust restricted to fund the Company's deferred compensation plan. The fair value of these investments was determined using Level 1 inputs from the fair value hierarchy. These assets were primarily included in other non-current assets.
Certain assets and liabilities, such as goodwill and trademarks, are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment). Included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, is a $3.3 million charge related to management’s decision to no longer use certain foreign trademarks. There were no other fair value adjustments for non-financial assets or liabilities in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
13. Subsequent Event
On October 17, 2019, the Company acquired all of the membership interests of Intersys Consulting, LLC ("Intersys Consulting"), headquartered in Austin, Texas, for $67.0 million in cash. The acquisition expands the Company's capabilities in digital innovation and enterprise solutions. The results of operations of Intersys Consulting will be included in the Apex Segment from the date of its acquisition.

Revenues for the quarter were $1.0 billion, up 10.6 percent year-over-year (10.1 percent after adjusting for year-over-year differences in billable days and changes in foreign currency rates). Revenue growth was attributable to a 7.7 percent increase in assignment revenues and a 25.7 percent increase in revenues from ECS. Permanent placement revenues were down slightly from the third quarter of 2018. The growth in assignment revenues was mainly from large-volume customers and from IT consulting services. The growth in revenues from ECS was driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions, new contract awards and the contribution from DHA, which was acquired earlier in the year.
Revenues from the Apex Segment were $644.1 million, up 9.2 percent year-over-year, reflecting continued high demand for Apex’s IT services and solutions. Assignment revenues, which includes consulting services, accounted for all the growth, as permanent placement revenues were down slightly from the third quarter of 2018. The growth in assignment revenues reflected double-digit growth in (i) five of Apex’s eight industry verticals, (ii) its top accounts (large-volume accounts) and (iii) consulting services, which were up 31.5 percent from the third quarter of 2018 and accounted for 13.3 percent of the segment’s revenues. Assignment revenue hours worked were up 2.6 percent, while average revenue per hour worked was up 6.7 percent from the third quarter of 2018.
Revenues from the Oxford Segment were $152.5 million, down 0.2 percent year-over-year, mainly related to a slight decline in permanent placement revenues, as assignment revenues were flat year-over-year. Assignment revenue hours worked were down slightly, whereas average revenue per hour worked was up slightly from the third quarter of 2018.
Revenues from the ECS Segment were $206.1 million, up 25.7 percent year-over-year. This increase was driven by high growth in the segment's artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions, new contract awards and revenues from DHA. Revenues for the quarter included a higher mix of revenues from third-party technology purchases and license renewals that are an integral part of the customer solution.

Gross profit is comprised of revenues less costs of services, which consist primarily of compensation for our contract professionals, allowable materials and reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses. Gross profit was $291.4 million, up 7.9 percent on revenue growth of 10.6 percent. Gross margin was 29.1 percent, a compression of 70 basis points year-over-year. Approximately half of the compression in margin related to a lower mix of permanent placement revenues and the remainder to lower contract margins as a result of a higher mix of revenues from ECS and from high-volume, lower-margin accounts.
Gross profit for the Apex Segment was up 8.1 percent on revenue growth of 9.2 percent. Gross margin for the segment was 29.8 percent, a compression of 40 basis points year-over-year related to a higher mix of revenues from high-volume accounts and a lower mix of permanent placement revenues. Gross profit for the Oxford Segment was down 1.3 percent on a revenue decline of 0.2 percent. Gross margin for the segment was 40.6 percent, a compression of 50 basis points year-over-year, mainly related to lower contract margins and a lower mix of permanent placement revenues. Gross profit for the ECS Segment was up 25.9 percent on revenue growth of 25.7 percent. Gross margin for the segment was flat year-over-year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of compensation expense for our field operations and corporate staff, rent, information systems, marketing, telecommunications, public company expenses and other general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses were $188.6 million (18.8 percent of revenues), compared with $177.3 million (19.6 percent of revenues) in the third quarter of 2018.
SG&A expenses included acquisition, integration and strategic planning expenses of $0.7 million in the current quarter, down from $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2018. Excluding the acquisition, integration and strategic planning expenses, SG&A expenses were $187.9 million (18.7 percent of revenues) in the third quarter of 2019, compared with $175.6 million (19.4 percent of revenues) in the third quarter of 2018. The current year third quarter included a $1.2 million benefit related to a reduction in the accrual for fees and penalties under the Affordable Care Act.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets was $11.9 million, down from $18.6 million in the third quarter of 2018. The decrease was due to the accelerated amortization method for certain acquired intangibles, which have high amortization rates at the beginning of their useful life.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $12.7 million, compared with $14.6 million in the same period of 2018. Interest expense for the quarter was comprised of $11.3 million of interest on the credit facility and $1.4 million of amortization of deferred loan costs. Weighted average borrowings outstanding during the quarter were $1.0 billion, down approximately $207.1 million from the third quarter of 2018. Weighted average interest rate in the current quarter was 4.3 percent, up from 4.1 percent in the third quarter of 2018, due to the increase in LIBOR.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $20.7 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared with $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2018. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 26.5 percent, compared with 17.5 percent in the third quarter of 2018. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2018 benefited from (i) adjustments totaling $2.9 million to the provisional estimates under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("TCJA") based on IRS guidelines issued in 2018 and (ii) higher excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.
Net Income
Net income was $57.4 million for the third quarter of 2019, up from $49.1 million in the same period of 2018.

Results of Operations
Pro forma revenues and gross profit by segment are presented in the tables and discussion below to provide a more consistent basis for comparison among periods. Pro forma data were prepared as if the acquisition of ECS had occurred at the beginning of 2017. Pro forma results do not include the pre-acquisition results of DHA due to its size (see Note 4. Acquisitions). Although the pro forma segment data are considered non-GAAP measures, they were calculated in the same manner as the consolidated pro forma data, which are GAAP measures.

On a pro forma basis, consolidated revenues were up $279.5 million, or 10.7 percent and ECS revenues were up 20.6 percent year-over-year. The growth in revenues from ECS was driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions, new contract awards and the contribution from DHA, which was acquired earlier in the year.
Revenues from the Apex Segment were $1.9 billion, up 10.8 percent year-over-year, reflecting continued high demand for Apex’s IT services and solutions. Assignment revenues, which includes consulting services, accounted for the majority of the growth. The growth in assignment revenues reflected double-digit growth in (i) five of Apex’s eight industry verticals, (ii) its top accounts (large-volume accounts) and (iii) consulting services, which were up 31.4 percent from 2018 and accounted for 12.6 percent of the segment’s revenues.

On a reported basis, gross profit was up 11.8 percent year-over-year. On a pro forma basis, gross profit was up 8.0 percent year-over-year due to the revenue growth in the Apex and ECS segments. Gross margin was 29.0 percent, a compression of 140 basis points year-over-year due to a lower mix of permanent placement revenues and lower contract margins, which were mainly the result of a higher mix of revenues from ECS and from high-volume, lower-margin accounts.
Gross profit for the Apex Segment was up 9.7 percent on revenue growth of 10.8 percent. Gross margin was 29.6 percent, a compression of 20 basis points year-over-year related to a higher mix of revenues from high-volume accounts. Gross profit for the Oxford Segment was down 2.2 percent while revenues were flat year-over-year. Gross margin for the segment was 40.3 percent, a compression of 80 basis points year-over-year, mainly related to a lower mix of permanent placement revenues. Gross profit for the ECS Segment was up 74.7 percent on revenue growth of 76.9 percent on reported basis and gross margin for the segment was 18.0 percent, a compression of 30 basis points due to a lower mix of revenues from firm-fixed-price contracts and the effects of the inclusion of DHA. On a pro forma basis, gross profit for the ECS Segment was up 19.8 percent on revenue growth of 20.6 percent. Gross margin on a pro forma basis was flat year-over-year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets was $38.8 million , down from $44.7 million in the same period of 2018. The decrease was due to the accelerated amortization method for certain acquired intangibles, which have high amortization rates at the beginning of their useful life.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $41.2 million in the first nine months of 2019, compared with $41.7 million in the same period of 2018. Interest expense in the first nine months of 2019 was comprised of (i) interest on the credit facility of $36.8 million and (ii) amortization of deferred loan costs of $4.4 million.

The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2019 was 27.0 percent, compared with 22.2 percent in the same period of 2018. The effective tax rate in prior year benefited from (i) adjustments totaling $2.9 million to the provisional estimates under the TCJA based on IRS guidelines issued in 2018 and (ii) higher excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.
Net Income
Net income was $135.4 million for the first nine months of 2019, up from $111.8 million in the same period of 2018.
ECS Segment Contract Backlog
Contract backlog is a useful measure of potential future revenues for our ECS Segment. Contract backlog represents the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under awarded contracts including task orders and options. Contract backlog does not include potential value from contract awards that have been protested by competitors until the protest is resolved in our favor. Contract backlog does not include any estimate of future work expected under indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity ("IDIQ") contracts or U.S. General Services Administration ("GSA") schedules. Contract backlog is segregated into funded contract backlog and negotiated unfunded contract backlog, which together make up total contract backlog.
Funded contract backlog for contracts with U.S. government agencies primarily represents contracts for which funding has been formally awarded less revenues previously recognized on these contracts and does not include the unfunded portion of contracts where funding is incrementally awarded or authorized by the U.S. government even though the contract may call for performance over a number of years. Funded contract backlog for contracts with non-government agencies represents the estimated value of contracts, which may cover multiple future years, less revenue previously recognized on these contracts.
Negotiated unfunded contract backlog represents the estimated future revenues to be earned from negotiated contract awards for which funding has not yet been awarded or authorized and from unexercised priced contract options.
Contract backlog estimates are subject to change and may be affected by the execution of new contracts, the extension or early termination of existing contracts, the non-renewal or completion of current contracts and adjustments to estimates for previously included contracts. Changes in the funded contract backlog are also affected by the funding cycles of the government.

ECS Segment Book-to-Bill Ratio
The book-to-bill ratio for our ECS segment was 4.6 to 1 for the third quarter of 2019 and 2.4 to 1 for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2019. The book-to-bill ratio was calculated as the sum of the change in total contract backlog during the period plus revenues for the period, divided by revenues for the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our working capital (current assets less current liabilities) at September 30, 2019 was $393.7 million and our cash and cash equivalents were $67.5 million, of which $19.6 million was held in foreign countries and not available to fund domestic operations unless repatriated. Our cash flows from operating activities have been our primary source of liquidity and have been sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure needs. Our working capital requirements are primarily driven by the overall growth in our business. We believe that our expected operating cash flows and availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our obligations, working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next 12 months.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $231.8 million for the first nine months of 2019, compared with $223.6 million in the same period of 2018. Net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities was $247.4 million, up 10.9 percent from the same period of 2018. Changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in cash usage of $15.6 million for the first nine months of 2019, compared with modest cash generation of $0.5 million in the same period of 2018. The year-over-year changes mainly related to (i) lower annual incentive compensation payments in the prior year due to acceleration of payment into December 2017 for tax planning purposes, (ii) lower tax payments made in the current year due to higher income tax prepayments at the end of 2017 and (iii) the inclusion of ECS for the full nine-month period in 2019.
Net cash used in investing activities was $71.4 million for the first nine months of 2019, compared with $782.5 million for the same period of 2018. Net cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2019 was comprised of $48.5 million for the acquisition of DHA and $22.8 million to purchase property and equipment. This compares with cash used in investing activities in the same period of 2018 comprised of $760.3 million to acquire ECS and $22.1 million to purchase property and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities was $134.0 million for the first nine months of 2019, compared with cash provided by financing activities of $563.9 million in the same period of 2018. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 consisted primarily of $119.0 million in net payments of long-term debt and $20.0 million used for repurchases of our common stock. Net cash provided by financing activities in the same period of 2018 consisted primarily of $822.0 million of proceeds from the credit facility (related to the financing of the ECS acquisition), partially offset by $231.0 million in payments of long-term debt and $22.5 million of debt issuance and amendment costs. Financing activities in 2018 also included $9.5 million in payments made for liabilities assumed in the ECS acquisition.
At September 30, 2019, borrowings under our credit facility totaled $985.2 million (see Note 6. Long-Term Debt). For the term B loan that matures on June 6, 2022, there are no required minimum payments until its maturity date. For the term B loan that matures on April 2, 2025, we are required to make minimum quarterly payments of $2.1 million; however, as a result of principal payments made through September 30, 2019, the first required minimum quarterly payment of $2.1 million is not due until September 30, 2022. We are also required to make mandatory prepayments on the term loans from excess cash flow and with the proceeds of asset sales, debt issuances and specified other events, subject to specified exceptions. The credit facility is secured by substantially all our assets and includes various restrictive covenants including the maximum ratio of consolidated secured debt to consolidated EBITDA, which steps down at regular intervals from 4.50 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2019, to 3.75 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2021 and thereafter. The credit facility also contains customary limitations including, among other terms and conditions, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers and acquisitions and declare dividends. At September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all debt covenants, the ratio of consolidated secured debt to consolidated EBITDA was 2.26 to 1.00 and we had $196.1 million of available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility.
On May 31, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program whereby the Company may repurchase up to $250.0 million of its common stock through May 30, 2021. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company purchased 324,373 shares for $20.0 million ($61.67 average price per share). The remaining authorized amount under this program is $230.0 million.

With respect to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about foreign currency risks and interest rates risks, there have been no material changes to the information included in our 2018 10-K.
Foreign Currency Fluctuations. Our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relates primarily to our foreign subsidiaries. Exchange rates impact the U.S. dollar value of our reported earnings, investments in our foreign subsidiaries and intercompany transactions with our foreign subsidiaries. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates impact the U.S. dollar amount of our stockholders’ equity. The assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at period end. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Based on the relative size and nature of our foreign operations, we do not believe that a 10 percent change in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar would have a material impact on our financial statements.
Interest Rate Risk. Our exposure to interest rate risk is associated with our debt instruments (refer to Note 6. Long-Term Debt in the condensed consolidated financial statements for a further description of our debt instruments). A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates on variable rate debt would have resulted in interest expense fluctuating approximately $10.1 million based on $1.0 billion of debt outstanding for any 12-month period. We have not entered into any market risk sensitive instruments for hedging or trading purposes.
Item 4 - Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
