NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
CRA International, Inc. (“CRA” or the “Company”) is a worldwide leading consulting services firm that applies advanced analytic techniques and in-depth industry knowledge to complex engagements for a broad range of clients. CRA offers services in two broad areas: litigation, regulatory, and financial consulting and management consulting. CRA operates in one business segment. CRA operates its business under its registered trade name, Charles River Associates.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CRA International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”), which require consolidation after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of CRA’s results of operations, financial position, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity for the interim periods presented in conformity with GAAP. Results of operations for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 included in CRA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 3, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of consolidated revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, allowances for accounts receivable and unbilled services, revenue recognition on fixed-price contracts, variable consideration to be included in the transaction price of revenue contracts, the useful life of long-lived assets, measurement of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities, share-based compensation, valuation of acquired intangible assets, goodwill, accrued and deferred income taxes, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, accrued incentive compensation, and certain other accrued expenses. These items are monitored and analyzed by CRA for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. CRA bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that CRA believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates if CRA’s assumptions based on past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.
Business Combinations
CRA accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured and recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with certain exceptions. The purchase price is determined as the fair value of consideration transferred. Goodwill is recognized for the excess of consideration transferred over the net value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The operating results of each acquired company is included in CRA's consolidated financial statements beginning on the date of acquisition.
Fair value measurements require extensive use of estimates and assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows to be generated by the acquired assets. The useful lives of identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business acquisition are

estimated based on the expected period that the Company will receive substantially all the projected future benefits from the intangible asset. Transaction expenses directly related to acquisitions are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Standards
Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers
In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2021-08"). The ASU requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606") at the acquisition date as if the acquirer had originated the contracts rather than adjust them to fair value. CRA elected to early adopt ASU 2021-08 on the first day of fiscal 2022. The adoption of the new standard had no impact on CRA's financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures on the date of transition.
2. Business Acquisition
On February 28, 2022, CRA acquired substantially all the business assets and assumed certain liabilities of Welch Consulting, Ltd. (“Welch Consulting”), a Texas limited partnership. Welch Consulting provided economic, business, and strategic consulting services principally involving labor and employment issues. The acquisition expands CRA’s business opportunities, expertise, and market presence with the addition of 45 colleagues and offices in Bryan, Texas; Los Angeles, California; and Washington, D.C. A non-employee expert of CRA served as an agent and attorney-in-fact on behalf of Welch Consulting. The non-employee expert did not and will not receive compensation or a portion of the purchase price as part of the transaction.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination, and the results of operations have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The operating results of the acquired business for the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2022 were not material to CRA's consolidated operating results. On the date of acquisition, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases. In addition, contract assets and contract liabilities were recorded in accordance with ASC 606, as CRA adopted ASU 2021-08 on the first day of fiscal 2022. All other tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair value as of the date of acquisition.
The current values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and based on the best available information. Certain items, such as the working capital adjustments, intangible assets, and goodwill, may be subject to change as additional information is received. The allocation of the purchase price will be finalized as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the date of acquisition. The final purchase price allocation may be different from the preliminary estimate reported as CRA receives additional information and completes its analysis of transaction-related activities, the impact of which is not expected to be material to CRA’s results of operations for fiscal 2022. The following table presents the preliminary assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of April 2, 2022 (in thousands):

Net assets acquired | $ | 10,685 |

For the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, CRA initially paid $10.6 million in cash, the amount of which was based on the estimates of certain net working capital items. Subsequent to the acquisition date, certain net working capital items were adjusted. These adjustments are reflected in the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the table above. Additional adjustment to the purchase consideration may be due to or from Welch Consulting. Per the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, $0.5 million was to be withheld from the closing payment and paid to Welch Consulting within one year of the date of acquisition, subject to the satisfaction of certain assurances provided by Welch Consulting. In addition, CRA issued $7.9 million of forgivable loans and agreed to provide other deferred compensation to key employees and a non-employee expert, which will be treated as post-transaction compensation expense as incurred.
The intangible assets acquired are comprised of customer relationships, the fair value of which was determined using a multi-period excess earning method. The customer relationships intangible is being amortized over a ten-year life on a straight-line basis, which approximates the expected pattern of economic benefit from this asset. The Company also recorded $2.4 million of goodwill, all of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Transaction related expenses, which are principally legal and accounting service fees, amounted to $0.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2022 and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
3. Revenues and Allowances
The contracts CRA enters into and operates under specify whether the projects are billed on a time-and-materials or a fixed-price basis. Time-and-materials contracts are typically used for litigation, regulatory, and financial consulting projects
11

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
while fixed-price contracts are principally used for management consulting projects. In general, project costs are classified in costs of services and are based on the direct salary of CRA’s employee consultants on the engagement, plus all direct expenses incurred to complete the project, including any amounts billed to CRA by its non-employee experts.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following tables disaggregate CRA’s revenue by type of contract and geographic location (in thousands):

Reserves for Variable Consideration and Credit Risk
Revenues from CRA's consulting services are recorded at the net transaction price, which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established. Variable consideration reserves are based on specific price concessions and those expected to be extended to CRA customers estimated by CRA's historical realization rates. Reserves for variable consideration are recorded as a component of the allowances for accounts receivable and unbilled services on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Adjustments to the reserves for variable consideration are included in revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
CRA also maintains allowances for accounts receivable and unbilled services for estimated losses resulting from clients’ failure to make required payments. The following table presents CRA's bad debt expense, net of recoveries, of previously written off allowances (in thousands):

Reimbursable Expenses
Revenues also include reimbursements for costs incurred by CRA in fulfilling its performance obligations, including travel and other out-of-pocket expenses, fees for outside consultants, and other reimbursable expenses. CRA recovers substantially all of these costs. The following expenses are subject to reimbursement (in thousands):

Reimbursable expenses |  | $ | 16,204 |  |  | $ | 16,479 |  |  |  |  |

Contract Balances from Contracts with Customers
CRA defines contract assets as assets for which it has recorded revenue because it determines that it is probable that it will earn a performance-based or contingent fee, but is not yet entitled to receive a fee because certain events, such as completion of the measurement period or client approval, must occur. The contract assets balance was immaterial as of April 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022.
When consideration is received, or such consideration is unconditionally due from a customer prior to transferring consulting services to the customer under the terms of a contract, a contract liability is recorded. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue after performance obligations have been satisfied and all revenue recognition criteria have been met. The following table presents the closing balances of CRA's contract liabilities (in thousands):

|  | April 2, 2022 |  | January 1, 2022
Contract liabilities |  | $ | 4,572 |  |  | $ | 8,811 |

CRA recognized the following revenue that was included in the contract liabilities balance as of the opening of the respective period or for performance obligations satisfied in previous periods (in thousands):

Performance obligations satisfied in previous periods |  | $ | 1,665 |  |  | $ | 2,183 |  |  |  |  |

4. Forgivable Loans
In order to attract and retain highly skilled professionals, CRA may issue forgivable loans to employees and non-employee experts, certain of which may be denominated in local currencies. A portion of these loans is collateralized. The principal amount of forgivable loans and accrued interest is forgiven by CRA over the term of the loans, so long as the employee or non-employee expert continues employment or affiliation with CRA and complies with certain contractual requirements. The expense associated with the forgiveness of the principal amount of the loans is recorded as compensation expense over the service period, which is consistent with the term of the loans.
The following table presents forgivable loan activity for the respective periods (in thousands):

Additions due to acquisitions |  | 2,409 |
Foreign currency translation adjustment |  | (386) |
Goodwill, net at April 2, 2022 |  | $ | 90,959 |

Goodwill at April 2, 2022, is comprised of goodwill of $162.9 million and accumulated impairment of $71.9 million. There were no impairment losses related to goodwill during the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2022 or during the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022.
Intangible assets that are separable from goodwill and have determinable useful lives are valued separately and amortized using the straight-line method over their expected useful lives. The components of acquired identifiable intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):

|  |  | April 2, 2022 |  | January 1, 2022
| Useful Life (in years) |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Net Carrying Amount |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Net Carrying Amount

There were no impairment losses related to intangible assets during the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2022 or during the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022. As a result of the Welch Consulting acquisition, CRA recognized approximately $4.2 million

of intangible assets related to customer relationships in the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2022. Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the fiscal quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021, respectively.
6. Accrued Expenses
Accrued expenses consist of the following (in thousands):

| April 2, 2022 |  | January 1, 2022
Compensation and related expenses | $ | 88,439 |  |  | $ | 143,199 |
Performance awards | 6,198 |  |  | 4,603 |
Direct project accruals | 2,482 |  |  | 2,833 |
Other | 6,521 |  |  | 5,679 |
Total accrued expenses | $ | 103,640 |  |  | $ | 156,314 |

As of April 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, approximately $49.9 million and $118.9 million, respectively, of accrued bonuses were included above in “Compensation and related expenses.”
7. Income Taxes
For the fiscal quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021, CRA’s effective income tax rate (“ETR”) was 26.4% and 24.4%, respectively. The ETR for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was higher than the first quarter of fiscal 2021 due to a decrease in the tax benefit related to share-based compensation, the establishment of a valuation allowance in a foreign jurisdiction, and higher state taxes and nondeductible compensation paid to executive officers.
Deferred taxes that are a consequence of foreign exchange translation resulting from earnings that are no longer considered permanently reinvested are recorded as a component of foreign currency translation adjustments on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. In fiscal 2020, as a result of both a qualitative and quantitative analysis, certain amounts of previously taxed and untaxed post fiscal 2018 U.K. earnings were no longer considered permanently reinvested. Deferred income taxes or foreign withholding taxes, estimated to be $0.4 million, have not been recorded for other jurisdictions as those earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested.
8. Net Income Per Share
CRA calculates basic earnings per share using the two-class method. CRA calculates diluted earnings per share using the more dilutive of either the two-class method or treasury stock method. The two-class method was more dilutive for the fiscal quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021.
Under the two-class method, net earnings are allocated to each class of common stock and participating security as if all the net earnings for the period had been distributed. CRA's participating securities consist of unvested share-based payment awards that contain a nonforfeitable right to receive dividends and therefore are considered to participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Net earnings allocable to these participating securities were not material for the fiscal quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021.

Certain share-based awards were anti-dilutive because their exercise price exceeded the average market price over the respective period. The following table presents the anti-dilutive share-based awards that were excluded from the calculation of common stock equivalents for purposes of computing diluted weighted average shares outstanding (in thousands):

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As of April 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, CRA did not have any financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The contingent consideration liability pertained to estimated future contingent consideration payments related to the acquisition of C1 Consulting, LLC, an independent consulting firm, and its wholly-owned subsidiary C1 Associates (collectively, “C1”). CRA had no contingent consideration obligation during the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2022. CRA paid the contingent consideration liability in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The following table summarizes the changes in the contingent consideration liability for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 (in thousands):

|  | Fiscal Year Ended

10. Credit Agreement
CRA is party to an amended and restated credit agreement that provides the Company with a $175.0 million revolving credit facility that includes a $15.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. CRA may use the proceeds of the revolving credit facility to provide working capital and for other general corporate purposes. CRA may repay any borrowings under the revolving credit facility at any time, but any borrowings must be repaid no later than October 24, 2022, the maturity date. There was $60.0 million in borrowings outstanding under this revolving credit facility as of April 2, 2022. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility as of January 1, 2022.
As of April 2, 2022, the amount available under this revolving credit facility was reduced by certain letters of credit outstanding, which amounted to $4.4 million. Under the credit agreement, CRA must comply with various financial and non-financial covenants. Compliance with these financial covenants is reviewed on a fiscal quarterly basis. As of April 2, 2022, CRA was in compliance with the covenants of its credit agreement.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
As described in the previous note, CRA is party to standby letters of credit with its bank in support of minimum future lease payments under certain operating leases for office space.
CRA is subject to legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, based on current knowledge, CRA believes it has adequate legal defenses or insurance coverage, or both, with respect to the eventuality of such actions. CRA does not believe any settlement or judgment relating to any pending legal action would materially affect its financial position or results of operations. However, the outcome of such legal actions is inherently unpredictable and subject to inherent uncertainties.
12. Subsequent Events
On May 5, 2022, CRA announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.31 per common share, payable on June 10, 2022 to shareholders of record as of May 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies involving the more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements as of April 2, 2022 remain unchanged from January 1, 2022, except for the accounting policies related to business combinations as described below. Please refer to Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2022 (the "2021 Form 10-K") for details on these critical accounting policies.
Business Combinations. We account for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured and recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with certain exceptions. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recorded on the date of acquisition in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases. In addition, contract assets and contract liabilities are recorded in accordance with ASC 606, as we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers on the first day of fiscal 2022. All other tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair value as of the date of acquisition.
The purchase price is determined as the fair value of consideration transferred. Goodwill is recognized for the excess of consideration transferred over the net value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Intangible assets that are separate from goodwill and have determinable useful lives are valued separately. Fair value measurements require extensive use of estimates and assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows to be generated by the acquired assets, discount rates that we believe reflect the risk factors associated with the related cash flows, and estimates of useful lives. The useful lives of identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business acquisition are estimated based on the expected period that we will receive substantially all of the projected future benefits from the intangible asset.

Fiscal Quarter Ended April 2, 2022, Compared to the Fiscal Quarter Ended April 3, 2021
Revenues. Revenues increased by $1.9 million, or 1.3%, to $148.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from $146.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Utilization decreased to 74% for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from 76% for the first quarter of fiscal 2021, while consultant headcount grew 4.9% from 837 at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2021 to 878 at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The primary driver of consultant headcount growth was the addition of 37 consultants resulting from the acquisition of Welch Consulting, Ltd. (“Welch Consulting”).
Overall, revenues outside of the U.S. represented approximately 21% and 20% of net revenues for the first quarters of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively. Revenues derived from fixed-price projects decreased to 19% of net revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with 23% of net revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The percentage of revenue derived from fixed-price projects depends largely on the proportion of our revenues derived from our management consulting business, which typically has a higher concentration of fixed-price service contracts.
Costs of Services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Costs of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased by $1.3 million, or 1.2%, to $104.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from $105.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease in costs of services was due primarily to a decrease in employee compensation and fringe benefit costs of $0.5 million, a decrease in the valuation expense of the contingent consideration of $0.4 million, a decrease in client reimbursable expenses of $0.3 million,and a decrease in forgivable loan amortization of $0.1 million. As a percentage of revenues, costs of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased to 70.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from 71.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.6 million, or 11.3%, to $25.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from $23.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Within this category of expenses, there was a $0.7 million increase in commissions to our non-employee experts, a $1.0 million increase in employee compensation and fringe benefit costs, a $0.4 million increase in travel and entertainment, and a $0.6 million increase in miscellaneous and other costs. Partially offsetting the increase in these expenses was a $0.1 million decrease in bad debt expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 17.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from 15.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Commissions to our non-employee experts increased to 3.0% of revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to 2.6% of revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
Provision for Income Taxes. The income tax provision was $4.1 million and the effective tax rate ("ETR") was 26.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to $3.4 million and 24.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The ETR for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was higher than the first quarter of fiscal 2021 due to a decrease in the tax benefit related to share-based compensation, the establishment of a valuation allowance in a foreign jurisdiction, and higher state taxes and nondeductible compensation paid to executive officers. The ETR for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was approximately the same as the combined federal and state statutory tax rate and included offsetting items primarily related to the tax benefit for share-based compensation and nondeductible compensation paid to executive officers. The ETR for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was
19

lower than the combined federal and state statutory tax rate due to the tax benefit related to share-based compensation, partially offset by nondeductible items resulting primarily from limitations on the deductibility of compensation paid to executive officers.
Net Income. Net income increased by $0.9 million to $11.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from $10.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The net income per diluted share was $1.52 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $1.34 of net income per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding decreased by approximately 328,000 shares to approximately 7,503,000 shares for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from approximately 7,831,000 shares for the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease in weighted average diluted shares outstanding was primarily due to the repurchase of shares of our common stock since April 3, 2021, offset in part by the vesting of shares of restricted stock and time-vesting restricted stock units and the exercise of stock options since April 3, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Fiscal Quarter Ended April 2, 2022
We believe that our current cash, cash generated from operations, and amounts available under our revolving credit facility through maturity will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
General. During the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2022, cash decreased by $22.4 million. We completed the period with cash of $43.7 million. The principal drivers of the reduction of cash were payment of a significant portion of our fiscal 2021 performance bonuses in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the consideration paid for the acquisition of Welch Consulting, the repurchase of shares, and the payment of dividends, offset by net borrowings of $60.0 million.
During the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2022, working capital (defined as current assets less current liabilities) decreased by $3.1 million to $33.2 million. The decrease in working capital was principally due to a decrease in cash of $22.4 million and an increase in borrowings of $60.0 million. Partially offsetting these decreases to working capital was an increase in accounts receivable and unbilled services of $11.6 million, an increase in the current portion of our forgivable loans of $2.3 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $3.3 million, a decrease in accrued expenses of $52.7 million, a decrease in deferred revenue and other liabilities of $4.0 million, and a decrease in the current portion of deferred compensation of $4.9 million.
At April 2, 2022, $15.2 million of our cash was held within the U.S. We have sufficient sources of liquidity in the U.S., including cash flow from operations and availability on our revolving credit facility through maturity to fund U.S. operations for the next 12 months without the need to repatriate funds from our foreign subsidiaries.
Sources and Uses of Cash. During the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $61.8 million. Net income was $11.4 million for the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2022. Uses of cash for operating activities included a $4.0 million decrease in lease liabilities, a net increase of $7.1 million in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables due primarily to the increase in revenues and the timing of billings, and a $1.1 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily related to the timing of renewing annual subscriptions. Other uses of cash included a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities of $66.5 million, primarily due to the payment of a significant portion of our fiscal 2021 performance bonuses and performance awards, and an increase in forgivable loans for the period of $3.4 million, which was primarily driven by $8.8 million of forgivable loan issuances offset by $5.4 million of forgivable loan amortization.
Cash used in operations included incentive cash award expense of $1.8 million, non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $3.0 million, right-of-use amortization of $3.4 million, share-based compensation expenses of $1.0 million, and other non-cash deductions of $0.3 million.
During the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $12.0 million, which included $10.6 million of consideration paid for the acquisition of Welch Consulting and $1.4 million for capital expenditures, primarily related to purchases of office equipment.
During the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities was $52.0 million, primarily as a result of borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $60.0 million and $0.3 million received upon the issuance of shares of common stock related to the exercise of stock options. Offsetting these increases in cash provided by financing activities were $5.0 million of repurchases of common stock, payment of $2.4 million of cash for dividends and dividend equivalents, and tax withholding payments reimbursed by restricted shares on vesting of $0.9 million.

Lease Commitments
We are a lessee under certain operating leases for office space and equipment. Certain of our operating leases have terms that impose asset retirement obligations due to office modifications or the periodic redecoration of the premises, which are included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and are recorded at a value based on their estimated discounted cash flows. We expect to satisfy these lease and related obligations, as they become due, from cash generated from operations.
Certain of our operating leases have terms that impose asset retirement obligations due to office modifications or the periodic redecoration of the premises, which are included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and are recorded at a value based on their estimated discounted cash flows. We do not expect to incur asset retirement obligation or redecoration obligation costs over the next twelve months. The remainder of our asset retirement obligations and redecoration obligations are approximately $2.8 million and are expected to be paid between fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2031 when the underlying leases terminate. We expect to satisfy these lease and related obligations as they become due from cash generated from operations.
Indebtedness
We are party to a $175.0 million revolving credit facility that includes a $15.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. We may use the proceeds of the revolving credit facility for working capital and for other general corporate purposes. Generally, we may repay borrowings under the revolving credit facility at any time, but we must repay all borrowings no later than October 24, 2022, the maturity date. There was $60.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of April 2, 2022.
The amount available under this revolving credit facility was reduced by $4.4 million of letters of credit outstanding as of April 2, 2022. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum, at our election, of either (i) the Base Rate, as defined in the credit agreement, plus an applicable margin, which varies between 0.25% and 1.25% depending on our total leverage ratio as determined under the credit agreement, or (ii) the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, as defined in the credit agreement, plus an applicable margin, which varies between 1.25% and 2.25% depending on our total leverage ratio. We are required to pay a fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility at a rate per annum that varies between 0.20% and 0.35% depending on our total leverage ratio. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are secured by 100% of the stock of certain of our U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of certain of our foreign subsidiaries, which represent approximately $35.2 million in net assets as of April 2, 2022.
Under the credit agreement, we must comply with various financial and non-financial covenants. Compliance with these financial covenants is tested on a fiscal quarterly basis. Any indebtedness outstanding under the revolving credit facility may become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of stated events of default, including our failure to pay principal, interest or fees or a violation of any financial covenant. The financial covenants require us to maintain an Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement, to consolidated interest expense ratio of more than 2.5:1.0 and to comply with a consolidated debt to Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.0:1.0. The non-financial covenant restrictions of the senior credit agreement include, but are not limited to, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, engage in acquisitions or dispositions, and enter into business combinations. At April 2, 2022 and currently, we are in compliance with all such tests under the credit agreement.
Forgivable Loans
In order to attract and retain highly skilled professionals, we may issue forgivable loans or term loans to employees and non-employee experts. A portion of these loans is collateralized by key person life insurance. The forgivable loans have terms that are generally between two and six years. The principal amount of forgivable loans and accrued interest is forgiven by us over the term of the loans, so long as the employee or non-employee expert continues employment or affiliation with us and complies with certain contractual requirements. The expense associated with the forgiveness of the principal amount of the loans is recorded as compensation expense over the service period, which is consistent with the term of the loans.
Compensation Arrangements
We have entered into compensation arrangements for the payment of performance awards to certain of our employees and non-employee experts that are payable if specific performance targets are met. The financial targets may include a measure of revenue generation, profitability, or both. The amounts of the awards to be paid under these compensation arrangements could fluctuate depending on future performance during the applicable measurement periods. Changes in the estimated awards are expensed prospectively over the remaining service period. We believe that we will have sufficient funds to satisfy any cash
21

obligations related to the performance awards. We expect to fund any cash payments from existing cash resources, cash generated from operations, or borrowings on our revolving credit facility.
Our Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2006 Equity Plan"), authorizes the grant of a variety of incentive and performance equity awards to our directors, employees and non-employee experts, including stock options, shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other equity awards.
In 2009, the compensation committee of our Board of Directors adopted our long-term incentive program, or "LTIP," as a framework for equity grants made under our 2006 equity incentive plan to our senior corporate leaders, practice leaders, and key revenue generators. The equity awards granted under the LTIP include stock options, time-vesting restricted stock units, and performance-vesting restricted stock units.
In December 2016, our compensation committee modified the long-term incentive program, or "LTIP," to allow grants of service- and performance-based cash awards in lieu of, or in addition to, equity awards to our senior corporate leaders, practice leaders, and key revenue generators. The compensation committee of our Board of Directors is responsible for approving all cash and equity awards under the LTIP. We expect to fund any cash payments from existing cash resources, cash generated from operations, or borrowings on our revolving credit facility.
Business and Talent Acquisitions
As part of our business, we regularly evaluate opportunities to acquire other consulting firms, practices or groups, or other businesses. In recent years, we have typically paid for acquisitions with cash, or a combination of cash and our common stock, and we may continue to do so in the future. To pay for an acquisition, we may use cash on hand, cash generated from our operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, or we may pursue other forms of financing. Our ability to secure short-term and long-term debt or equity financing in the future, including our ability to refinance our credit agreement, will depend on several factors, including our future profitability, the levels of our debt and equity, restrictions under our existing revolving credit facility, and the overall credit and equity market environments. We completed a business acquisition during the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2022, which is further described in Note 2, "Business Acquisition” in Part I, Item I, “Financial Statements” of this report.
Share Repurchases
In February 2022, our Board of Directors authorized an expansion of our existing share repurchase program, authorizing the purchase of an additional $20.0 million of our common stock. We may repurchase shares under this program in open market purchases (including through any Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted by us) or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and regulations.
During the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2022, we repurchased and retired 56,665 shares under our share repurchase program at an average price per share of $87.46. During the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2021, we repurchased and retired 166,552 shares under our share repurchase program at an average price per share of $57.93. As of April 2, 2022, we had approximately $45.5 million available for future repurchases under our share repurchase program. We plan to finance future repurchases with available cash, cash from future operations, and funds from our revolving credit facility. We expect to continue to repurchase shares under our share repurchase program.
Dividends to Shareholders
We anticipate paying regular quarterly dividends each year. These dividends are anticipated to be funded through cash flow from operations, available cash on hand, and/or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Although we anticipate paying regular quarterly dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, the declaration, timing and amounts of any such dividends remain subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors. During the fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2022, we paid dividends and dividend equivalents of $2.4 million. During the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2021, we paid dividends and dividend equivalents of $2.1 million.
Impact of Inflation
To date, inflation has not had a material impact on our financial results. There can be no assurance, however, that inflation will not adversely affect our financial results in the future.
Future Capital and Liquidity Needs
22

Table of Contents
We anticipate that our future capital and liquidity needs will principally consist of funds required for:
•operating and general corporate expenses relating to the operation of our business, including the compensation of our employees under various annual bonus or long-term incentive compensation programs;
•the hiring of individuals to replenish and expand our employee base;
•capital expenditures, primarily for information technology equipment, office furniture and leasehold improvements;
•debt service and repayments, including interest payments on borrowings from our revolving credit facility and any principal due at maturity in October 2022;
•share repurchases under programs that we may have in effect from time to time;
•dividends to shareholders;
•potential acquisitions of businesses that would allow us to diversify or expand our service offerings;
•potential contingent obligations related to our acquisitions; and
•other known future contractual obligations.
The hiring of individuals to replenish and expand our employee base is an essential part of our business operations and has historically been funded principally from operations. Many of the other above activities are discretionary in nature. For example, capital expenditures can be deferred, acquisitions can be forgone, and share repurchase programs and regular dividends can be suspended. As such, our operating model provides flexibility with respect to the deployment of cash flow from operations. Given this flexibility, we believe that our cash flows from operations, supplemented by cash on hand and borrowings from our revolving credit facility through maturity (as necessary), will provide adequate cash to fund our long-term cash needs from normal operations for at least the next twelve months.
Our conclusion that we will be able to fund our cash requirements by using existing capital resources and cash generated from operations does not take into account the impact of any future acquisition transactions or any unexpected significant changes in the number of employees or other expenditures that are currently not contemplated. The anticipated cash needs of our business could change significantly if we pursue and complete additional business acquisitions, if our business plans change, if economic conditions change from those currently prevailing or from those now anticipated, or if other unexpected circumstances arise that have a material effect on the cash flow or profitability of our business. Any of these events or circumstances, including any new business opportunities, could involve significant additional funding needs in excess of the identified currently available sources and could require us to raise additional debt or equity funding to meet those needs on terms that may be less favorable compared to our current sources of capital. Our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, is subject to a variety of factors that we cannot predict with certainty, including:
•our future profitability;
•the quality of our accounts receivable;
•our relative levels of debt and equity;
•the volatility and overall condition of the capital markets; and
•the market prices of our securities.
Factors Affecting Future Performance
Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as a description of material risks we face, are set forth below under the heading “Risk Factors” and included in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our 2021 Form 10-K. If any of these risks, or any risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not significant, develops into an actual event, then our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. This is done in order to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 2, 2022.
Management has concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material aspects, our financial position at the end of, and the results of operations and cash flows for, the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated whether there were any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of fiscal 2022. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the above evaluation that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Important Considerations
The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
There are many risks and uncertainties that can affect our future business, financial performance or results of operations. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, please review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results set forth under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K.
