NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required for complete financial statements are not included herein. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in the Forrester Research, Inc. (“Forrester”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 may not be indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2022, or any other period.

Presentation of Restricted Cash

The following table summarizes the end-of-period cash and cash equivalents from the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and the total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands).

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted the guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes on January 1, 2021. The standard provides guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes in certain areas, changes the accounting for select income tax transactions, and makes other minor improvements. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Finance Reporting. The new standard provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, reference rate reform on financial reporting due to the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The updates apply to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR, or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform, and as a result require a modification. An entity may elect to apply the amendments immediately or at any point through December 31, 2022. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations as the Company's only interest rate swap, which is based on LIBOR, will terminate prior to the cessation of LIBOR.

Note 3 — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized; however, it is required to be tested for impairment annually, which requires assessment of the potential impairment at the reporting unit level. Reporting units are determined based on the components of the Company's operating segments that constitute a business for which discrete financial information is available and for which operating results are regularly reviewed by segment management. Testing for impairment is also required on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates it is more likely than not an impairment loss has been incurred.

8

The Company performed its annual impairment testing as of November 30, 2021 utilizing a qualitative assessment to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair values of each of its reporting units was less than their respective carrying values and concluded that no impairments existed. Subsequent to completing the annual test and through June 30, 2022, there were no events or circumstances that required an interim impairment test. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022, the Company had no accumulated goodwill impairment losses. Approximate ly $8.1 million of goodwill is allocated to the Company’s Consulting reporting unit, which had a negative carrying value as of the date of the last test.

The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is summarized as follows (in thousands):

| Total |
Balance at December 31, 2021 | $ | 244,994 |

Note 4 — Debt

On December 21, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amendment of its existing credit facility, dated as of January 3, 2019, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders party thereto (the "Existing Credit Agreement" and the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by the Amendment, the "Amended Credit Agreement").

9

The Existing Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, (a) increase the aggregate principal amount of revolving credit commitments (the "Revolving Credit Facility") from $75.0 million to $150.0 million and eliminate the existing term loan facility, (b) extend the scheduled maturity date of the revolving credit commitments to December of 2026, (c) reduce the applicable margin with respect to revolving loans to, at Forrester’s option, (i) between 1.25% and 1.75% per annum for loans based on LIBOR and (ii) between 0.25% and 0.75% per annum for loans based on the applicable base rate, in each case, based on Forrester’s consolidated total leverage ratio, (d) reduce the commitment fee applicable to undrawn revolving credit commitments to between 0.30% and 0.20% per annum based on the Company's consolidated total leverage ratio, (e) replace the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant under the Existing Credit Agreement with a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3.50:1.00 and (f) include a covenant limiting the amount of capital expenditures made by the Company in each fiscal year, subject to exceptions for (i) up to $25.0 million with respect to its headquarters property and (ii) an additional general basket of $20.0 million annually.

On December 21, 2021, the Company converted the $100.0 million outstanding term loan amounts under the Existing Credit Agreement to $100.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility as the lenders remained the same under both facilities. The Amended Credit Agreement permits the Company to increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount up to $50.0 million, subject to approval by the Administrative Agent and certain customary terms and conditions.

The Company may voluntarily prepay revolving loans under the Amended Credit Agreement at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage reimbursement requirements for LIBOR-based loans. No interim amortization payments are required to be made under the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Amended Credit Agreement provides that once LIBOR ceases to exist in 2023, the benchmark rate for the Revolving Credit Facility will automatically transfer from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.

Up to $5.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit, and any drawings under the letters of credit must be reimbursed within one business day. As of June 30, 2022, $0.8 million in letters of credit were issued under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company incurred $0.5 million in costs related to the issuance of the Revolving Credit Facility under the Amended Credit Agreement, which were recorded to other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the five-year term of the Revolving Credit Facility and are included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Amended Credit Agreement was accounted for as a debt modification and thus no existing debt issuance costs were written off to interest expense as a result of the modification.

Outstanding Borrowings

The following table summarizes the Company’s total outstanding borrowings as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

Description: |  | June 30, 2022 |  |  | December 31, 2021 |
Revolving credit facility |  | $ | 50,000 |  |  | $ | 75,000 |

10

The contractual annualized interest rate as of June 30, 2022 was 2.9375%, which consisted of LIBOR of 1.6875% plus a margin of 1.25%. However, the Company has an interest rate swap contract that effectively converts the floating LIBOR base rates on a portion of the amounts outstanding to a fixed base rate. Refer to Note 7 – Derivatives and Hedging for further information on the swap.

The Company had $99.2 million of available borrowing capacity on the Revolving Credit Facility (not including the expansion feature) as of June 30, 2022. The weighted average annual effective interest rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, wa s 2.13% and 1.87%, respectively.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains certain customary restrictive loan covenants, including among others, financial covenants that apply a maximum leverage ratio, minimum interest coverage ratio, and maximum annual capital expenditures. The negative covenants limit, subject to various exceptions, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, merge, consolidate, liquidate or dissolve any part of the Company, sell assets, change fiscal year, or enter into certain transactions with affiliates and subsidiaries. The Company was in full compliance with the covenants as of June 30, 2022. The agreement also contains customary events of default, representations, and warranties.

All obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by each of the Company’s existing and future, direct and indirect, material wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, other than certain excluded subsidiaries, and are collateralized by a first priority lien on substantially all tangible and intangible assets, including intellectual property, and all of the capital stock of the Company's subsidiaries (limited to 65% of the voting equity of certain subsidiaries).

Note 5 — Leases

All of the Company’s leases are operating leases, the majority of which are for office space. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and non-current operating lease liabilities are included as individual line items on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, while short-term operating lease liabilities are recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are not material.

(1)
Revenue location is determined based on where the products and services are consumed.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable includes amounts billed and currently due from customers. Since the only condition for payment of the Company’s invoices is the passage of time, a receivable is recorded on the date an invoice is issued. Also included in accounts receivable are unbilled amounts resulting from revenue exceeding the amount billed to the customer, where the right to payment is unconditional. If the right to payment for services performed was conditional on something other than the passage of time, the unbilled amount would be recorded as a separate contract asset. There were no contract assets as of June 30, 2022 or 2021.

The majority of the Company’s contracts are non-cancelable. However, for contracts that are cancelable by the customer, the Company does not record a receivable when it issues an invoice. The Company records accounts receivable on these contracts only up to the amount of revenue earned but not yet collected.

In addition, since the majority of the Company’s contracts are for a duration of one year and payment is expected within one year from the transfer of products and services, the Company does not adjust its receivables or transaction prices for the effects of a significant financing component.

12

Deferred Revenue

The Company refers to contract liabilities as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Payment terms in the Company’s customer contracts vary, but generally require payment in advance of fully satisfying the performance obligation(s). Deferred revenue consists of billings in excess of revenue recognized. Similar to accounts receivable, the Company does not record deferred revenue for unpaid invoices issued on a cancelable contract.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $58.4 million and $43.6 million of revenue, respectively, related to its deferred revenue balances at the beginning of each such period. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $139.3 million and $115.9 million of revenue, respectively, related to its deferred revenue balance at January 1 of each such period.

Approximately $409.7 million o f revenue is expected to be recognized during the next 24 months from remaining performance obligations as of June 30, 2022.

Reserves for Credit Losses

The allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is summarized as follows (in thousands):

|  | Total Allowance |
Balance at December 31, 2021 |  | $ | 610 |
Provision for expected credit losses |  |  | 359 |
Write-offs |  |  | (376 | )
Balance at June 30, 2022 |  | $ | 593 |

When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for expected credit losses, the Company makes judgments regarding the collectability of accounts receivable based, in part, on the Company’s historical loss rate experience, customer concentrations, management’s expectations of future losses as informed by current economic conditions, and changes in customer payment terms. If the expected financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. If the expected financial condition of the Company’s customers were to improve, the allowances may be reduced accordingly.

Cost to Obtain Contracts

The Company capitalizes commissions paid to sales representatives and related fringe benefits costs that are incremental to obtaining customer contracts. These costs are included in deferred commissions on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company accounts for these costs at a portfolio level as the Company’s contracts are similar in nature and the amortization model used closely matches the amortization expense that would be recognized on a contract-by-contract basis. Costs to obtain a contract are amortized to earnings over the initial contract term, which is the same period the related revenue is recognized. Amortization expense related to deferred commissions for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 w as $11.8 million and $10.0 million, re spectively. Amortization expense related to deferred commissions for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 wa s $21.8 million and $18.9 million, respectively. The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred commissions at each balance sheet date and there were no impairments recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Note 7 — Derivatives and Hedging

The Company has a derivative contract (an interest rate swap) to mitigate the cash flow risk associated with changes in interest rates on its variable rate debt (refer to Note 4 – Debt). The Company accounts for its derivative contract in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815 – Derivatives and Hedging (“Topic 815”), which requires all derivatives, including derivatives designated as accounting hedges, to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value.

Interest Rate Swap

At June 30, 2022, the Company had a single interest rate swap contract, with an initial notional amount of $95.0 million. The notional amount at June 30, 2022 wa s $17.2 million an d the swap terminates on December 31, 2022. The Company pays a base fixed rate of 1.65275% and in return receives the greater of (1) 1-month LIBOR, rounded up to the nearest 1/16 of a percent, or (2) 0.00%. The fair value of the swap on June 30, 2022 was $0.1 million (refer to Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements for information on determining the fair value).

13

The swap has been designated and accounted for as a cash flow hedge of the forecasted interest payments on the Company’s debt. As long as the swap continues to be a highly effective hedge of the designated interest rate risk, changes in the fair value of the swap are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any ineffective portion of a change in the fair value of a hedge is recorded in earnings.

As required under Topic 815, the swap’s effectiveness is assessed on a quarterly basis. Since its inception, and through June 30, 2022, the interest rate swap was considered highly effective. Accordingly, the entire fair value of the swap has been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Realized gains or losses related to the interest rate swap are included as operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Foreign Currency Forwards

The Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to mitigate the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on transactions entered into in the normal course of business that are denominated in foreign currencies that differ from the local functional currency. These contracts generally have short durations and are recorded at fair value with both realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded in other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income because the Company does not designate these contracts as hedges for accounting purposes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company entered into eight foreign currency forward exchange contracts, all of which settled by June 30, 2022. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2022, there is no amount recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these contracts. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company entered into one foreign currency forward exchange contract, which settled by June 30, 2021. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2021, there is no amount recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for this contract.

The Company’s derivative counterparties are investment grade financial institutions. The Company does not have any collateral arrangements with these counterparties and the derivative contracts do not contain credit risk related contingent features. The table below provides information regarding amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the derivative contracts for the periods indicated (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |

Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The Company’s financial instruments also include its outstanding variable-rate borrowings (refer to Note 4 – Debt). The Company believes that the carrying amount of its variable-rate borrowings reasonably approximate their fair values because the rates of interest on those borrowings reflect current market rates of interest.

Additionally, the Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis including cash equivalents, marketable investments, and its derivative contract. The fair values of these financial assets and liabilities have been classified as Level 1, 2, or 3 within the fair value hierarchy as described in the accounting standards for fair value measurements:

Level 1 — Fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Fair value based on inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Fair value based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and such inputs are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

|  | As of June 30, 2022 |
|  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Total |
Assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Money market funds (1) |  | $ | 5,919 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 5,919 |
Marketable investments (2) |  |  | — |  |  |  | 19,388 |  |  |  | 19,388 |

Total Assets |  | $ | 5,919 |  |  | $ | 19,460 |  |  | $ | 25,379 |

|  | As of December 31, 2021 |
|  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Total |
Assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Money market funds (1) |  | $ | 6,885 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 6,885 |

Total Liabilities |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | (294 | ) |  | $ | (294 | )

(1)
Included in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(2)
Marketable investments have been initially valued at the transaction price and subsequently valued, at the end of the reporting period, utilizing third party pricing services or other market observable data. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation methods, including both income and market-based approaches and observable market inputs to determine value. These observable market inputs include reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, bids, offers, current spot rates and other industry and economic events.
(3)
The Company has an interest rate swap contract that hedges the risk of variability from interest payments on its borrowings (refer to Note 4 – Debt and Note 7 – Derivatives and Hedging). The fair value of the interest rate swap is based on valuations prepared by a third-party broker. Those valuations are based on observable interest rates and other observable market data, which the Company considers Level 2 inputs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company did not transfer assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy. Additionally, there have been no changes to the valuation techniques for Level 2 liabilities.

Note 9 — Income Taxes

Forrester provides for income taxes on an interim basis according to management’s estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. Certain items such as changes in tax rates, tax benefits or expense related to settlements of share-based payment awards, and foreign currency gains or losses are treated as discrete items and are recorded in the period in which they arise.

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 wa s $8.3 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.5% f or the period. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $5.5 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 30.7% for the period.

The Company anticipates that its effective tax rate for the full year 2022 will be approximat ely 31%.

Note 11 — Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the diluted weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common equivalent shares outstanding has been determined in accordance with the treasury-stock method. Common equivalent shares consist of common stock issuable on the exercise of outstanding stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units.

Basic and diluted weighted average common shares are as follows (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | June 30, |  |  | June 30, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding |  |  | 18,871 |  |  |  | 19,126 |  |  |  | 18,929 |  |  |  | 19,094 |
Weighted average common equivalent shares |  |  | 302 |  |  |  | 251 |  |  |  | 289 |  |  |  | 238 |
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding |  |  | 19,173 |  |  |  | 19,377 |  |  |  | 19,218 |  |  |  | 19,332 |
Options and restricted stock units excluded from diluted weighted average share calculation as effect would have been anti-dilutive |  |  | 23 |  |  |  | 9 |  |  |  | 11 |  |  |  | 6 |

In May 2022, stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which provided for an additional 600,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, to be granted under the plan.

Stock-Based Compensation

Forrester recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation over the requisite service period of the individual grantee, which generally equals the vesting period. Stock-based compensation was recorded in the following expense categories on the Consolidated Statements of Income (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |

Treasury Stock

As of June 30, 2022, Forrester’s B oard of Directors had authorized an aggregate $585.0 million to purchase common stock under its stock repurchase program. The shares repurchased may be used, among other things, in connection with Forrester’s equity incentive and purchase plans. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company rep urchased approximately 0.1 million shares and 0.3 million shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $5.7 million and $15.1 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company repurchased approximately 0.1 million shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $2.7 million. From the inception of the program through June 30, 2022, the Company repurcha sed 17.0 million shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $510.0 million.

Note 13 — Operating Segments

The Company's chief executive officer and the chief financial officer are the chief operating decision-maker (used in determining the Company's segments). The Company operates in three segments: Research, Consulting, and Events. These segments, which are also the Company's reportable segments, are based on the management structure of the Company and how the chief operating decision maker uses financial information to evaluate performance and determine how to allocate resources. The Company’s products and services are delivered through each segment as described below.

The Research segment includes the revenues from all of the Company’s research products as well as consulting revenues from advisory services (such as speeches and advisory days) delivered by the Company’s research organization. Research segment costs include the cost of the organizations responsible for developing and delivering these products in addition to the costs of the product management organization responsible for product pricing and packaging, and the launch of new products.

The Consulting segment includes the revenues and the related costs of the Company’s project consulting organization. The project consulting organization delivers a majority of the Company’s project consulting revenue and certain advisory services.

The Events segment includes the revenues and the costs of the organization responsible for developing and hosting in-person and virtual events. As of January 1, 2022, the Company realigned its events sales costs from selling and marketing expense to the Events segment as they now fall under the Events management structure. The 2021 amounts have been revised to conform to the current presentation.

The Company evaluates reportable segment performance and allocates resources based on segment revenues and expenses. Segment expenses include the direct expenses of each segment organization and exclude selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation expense, adjustments to incentive bonus compensation from target amounts, amortization of intangible assets, interest and other income (expense), and gains on investments. The accounting policies used by the segments are the same as those used in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 14 — Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and civil and regulatory claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have a material adverse effect on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS O F FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Reference is made in particular to our statements about changing stakeholder expectations, product development, holding hybrid events, possible acquisitions, future dividends, future share repurchases, future growth rates, operating income and cash from operations, future deferred revenue, future compliance with financial covenants under our credit facility, future interest expense, anticipated increases in, and productivity of, our sales force and headcount, the adequacy of our cash, and cash flows to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditures, and the anticipated impact of accounting standards. These statements are based on our current plans and expectations and involve risks and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual future activities and results to differ include, among others, our ability to retain and enrich subscriptions to, and licenses of, our Research products and services, our ability to fulfill existing or generate new consulting engagements and advisory services, our ability to generate and increase demand for the Events we host, any adverse economic conditions that result in a reduction in technology spending or demand for our products and services, our ability to mitigate the adverse impact from the widespread outbreak of COVID-19 which could disrupt or restrict our ability to sell or fulfill, or reduce demand for, our products, services, and events, the risks and challenges inherent in international business activities, our ability to offer new products and services, our dependence on key personnel, our ability to attract and retain qualified professional staff, our ability to respond to business and economic conditions and market trends, the impact of our outstanding debt, competition and industry consolidation, possible variations in our quarterly operating results, concentration of our stock ownership, the possibility of network disruptions and security breaches, our ability to enforce and protect our intellectual property rights, compliance with privacy laws, taxation risks, and any weakness identified in our system of internal controls. These risks are described more completely in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity may differ from our current estimates due to inherent uncertainties regarding the duration and further spread of the outbreak, its severity, actions taken to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. All events during 2021 were held as virtual events, however, we intend to hold our events during 2022 as hybrid events, consisting of both in-person and virtual experiences. All events in the first half of 2022 were held as hybrid events, including two of our flagship events, B2B Summit North America and CX North America.

We derive revenues from subscriptions to our Research products and services, licensing electronic “reprints” of our Research, performing consulting projects and advisory services, and hosting events. We offer contracts for our Research products that are typically renewable annually and payable in advance. Subscription products are recognized as revenue over the term of the contract. Accordingly, a substantial portion of our billings are initially recorded as deferred revenue. Reprints include an obligation to deliver a customer-selected research document and certain usage data provided through an on-line platform, which represents two performance obligations. We recognize revenue for the performance obligation for the data portion of the reprint ratably over the license term. We recognize revenue for the performance obligation for the research document at the time of providing access to the document. Billings for licensing of reprints are initially recorded as deferred revenue. Clients purchase consulting projects and advisory services independently and/or to supplement their access to our subscription-based products. Consulting project revenues, which are based upon fixed-fee agreements, are recognized as the services are provided. Advisory service revenues, such as speeches and advisory days, are recognized when the service is complete or the customer receives the agreed upon deliverable. Billings attributable to consulting projects and advisory services are initially recorded as deferred revenue. Events revenues consist of ticket and sponsorship sales for a Forrester-hosted event. Billings for events are also initially recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue upon completion of each event.

Our primary operating expenses consist of cost of services and fulfillment, selling and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses. Cost of services and fulfillment represents the costs associated with the production and delivery of our products and services, including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits, and stock-based compensation expense for all personnel that produce and deliver our products and services, including all associated editorial, travel, and support services. Selling and marketing expenses include salaries, sales commissions, bonuses, employee benefits, stock-based compensation expense, travel expenses, promotional costs, and other costs incurred in marketing and selling our products and services. General and administrative expenses include the costs of the technology, operations, finance, and human resources groups and our other administrative functions, including salaries, bonuses, employee benefits, and stock-based compensation expense. Overhead costs such as facilities, net of sublease income, and annual fees for cloud-based information technology systems are allocated to these categories according to the number of employees in each group.

22

Our key metrics focus on our contract value ("CV") products. We are focusing on CV products as these products are our most profitable products and historically our contracts for CV products have renewed at high rates (as measured by our client retention and wallet retention metrics). Our CV products make up essentially all of our research revenues.

We calculate CV at the foreign currency rates used for internal planning purposes each year. For comparative purposes, we have recast historical CV at the current year foreign currency rates. We have included the recast CV metric below for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and we have also provided recast CV amounts dating back to the second quarter of 2020, on the investor relations section of our website.

Contract value, client retention, wallet retention, and number of clients are metrics that we believe are important to understanding our research business. We define these metrics as follows:

•
Contract value (CV) — is defined as the value attributable to all of our recurring research-related contracts. Contract value is calculated as the annualized value of all contracts in effect at a specific point in time, without regard to how much revenue has already been recognized. Contract value primarily consists of subscription-based products for which revenue is recognized on a ratable basis, except for the entitlements embedded in our subscription products, such as event tickets and advisory sessions, for which the revenue is recognized when the item is utilized. Contract value also includes our reprint products, as these products are used throughout the year by our clients and are typically renewed.
•
Client retention — represents the percentage of client companies (defined as all clients that buy a CV product) at the prior year measurement date that have active contracts at the current year measurement date.
•
Wallet retention — represents a measure of the CV we have retained with clients over a twelve-month period. Wallet retention is calculated on a percentage basis by dividing the annualized contract value of our current clients, who were also clients a year ago, by the total annualized contract value from a year ago.
•
Clients — is calculated at the enterprise level as all clients that have an active CV contract.

Client retention and wallet retention are not necessarily indicative of the rate of future retention of our revenue base. A summary of our key metrics is as follows (dollars in millions):

|  | As of |  |  | Absolute |  |  | Percentage |
|  | June 30, |  |  | Increase |  |  | Increase |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | (Decrease) |  |  | (Decrease) |
Contract value |  | $ | 349.4 |  |  | $ | 317.7 |  |  | $ | 31.7 |  |  |  | 10 | %
Client retention |  |  | 76 | % |  |  | 77 | % |  |  | (1 | ) |  |  | (1 | %)
Wallet retention |  |  | 99 | % |  |  | 96 | % |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 3 | %
Number of clients |  |  | 2,928 |  |  |  | 2,940 |  |  |  | (12 | ) |  |  | (— | %)

Contract value increased 10% at June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The increase in contract value was primarily due to an increase in contract bookings due to strong demand for our contract value products. Client retention decreased by 1 percentage point and wallet retention increased by 3 percentage points at June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. The increase in wallet retention was primarily due to the enrichment of existing clients when they renewed their contracts. Compared to March 31, 2022, wallet retention and client retention decreased by 4 percentage points and 1 percentage point, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to elongated sales cycles, lower conversion rates and sales capacity restraints.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to, those related to our revenue recognition, goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets, and income taxes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, data available at the time the estimates are made, and various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting estimates are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Total revenues increased 15% and 13% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, and increased by 17% and 14% when excluding the effect of changes in foreign currencies. Revenues from customers outside the U.S. increased 6% and 5% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, due to an increase in revenues in the United Kingdom, Asia Pacific region, and Canada partially offset by a decrease in revenues in Europe. Revenues from customers outside the U.S. increased by approximately 13% and 10% when excluding the effect of changes in foreign currencies.

Research revenues are recognized as revenue primarily on a ratable basis over the term of the contracts, which are generally twelve-month periods. Research revenues increased 10% and 12% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, and increased by 12% and 13% when excluding the effect of changes in foreign currencies. The increase in revenues was primarily due to increased contract value, which was driven by strong demand for our products and an increase in our wallet retention rate compared to the prior year period.

Consulting revenues decreased 4% and 2% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, and decreased by 3% and 1% when excluding the effect of changes in foreign currencies. The decrease in revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to decreased delivery of advisory services by our research analysts as they shifted more of their efforts to developing and delivering our CV products.

Events revenues increased 191% during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year periods. The increase in revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in sponsorship revenues, as well as paid ticket attendance, primarily due to the return of in-person attendance at our events.

Segment Results

We operate in three segments: Research, Consulting, and Events. These segments, which are also our reportable segments, are based on our management structure and how management uses financial information to evaluate performance and determine how to allocate resources. Our products and services are delivered through each segment as described below.

The Research segment includes the revenues from all of our research products as well as consulting revenues from advisory services (such as speeches and advisory days) delivered by our research organization. Research segment costs include the cost of the organizations responsible for developing and delivering these products in addition to the cost of the product management organization that is responsible for product pricing and packaging and the launch of new products.

The Consulting segment includes the revenues and the related costs of our project consulting organization. The project consulting organization delivers a majority of our project consulting revenue and certain advisory services.

27

The Events segment includes the revenues and the costs of the organization responsible for developing and hosting in-person and virtual events. As of January 1, 2022, we realigned our events sales costs from selling and marketing expense to the Events segment as they now fall under the Events management structure. The 2021 amounts have been revised to conform to the current presentation.

We evaluate reportable segment performance and allocate resources based on segment revenues and expenses. Segment expenses include the direct expenses of each segment organization and exclude selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation expense, adjustments to incentive bonus compensation from target amounts, amortization of intangible assets, interest and other income (expense), and gains on investments. The accounting policies used by the segments are the same as those used in the consolidated financial statements.

Research segment revenues increased 7% and 9% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, research product revenues within this segment increased 10% and 12%, respectively, which primarily resulted from increased contract value during the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, consulting product revenues within this segment decreased 15% and 14%, respectively, primarily due to decreased delivery of consulting and advisory services by our research analysts as they shifted more of their efforts to developing and delivering our CV products.

Research segment expenses increased 12% during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year periods. The increase in expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to (1) a $2.5 million increase in compensation and benefit costs primarily due to an increase headcount and merit increases and (2) a $0.4 million increase in travel and entertainment expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations primarily through funds generated from operations. Research revenues, which constituted approximately 64% of our revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2022, are generally renewable annually and are typically payable in advance. We generated cash from operating activities of $34.8 million and $70.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $35.3 million decrease in cash provided from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to 1) a $23.4 million decrease in cash generated from accounts receivable and deferred revenue due to an increase in deferred revenue during the 2021 period from client billings in excess of revenue that did not recur in the 2022 period and 2) a $17.0 million increase in cash used for accrued expenses resulting from the payout of year end incentive compensation.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we used cash in investing activities of $3.6 million primarily for $2.7 million of purchases of property and equipment, primarily consisting of computer software and equipment, and $1.1 million in net purchases of marketable investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we used cash in investing activities of $5.2 million for purchases of property and equipment, primarily consisting of computer software, leasehold improvements and equipment.

We used $38.3 million of cash from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to $25.0 million of discretionary repayments of our revolving credit facility and $15.1 million for purchases of our common stock, partially offset by $2.1 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our stock-based incentive plans. We used $6.5 million of cash in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to $6.3 million of repayments of our term loan and $2.7 million for purchases of our common stock, partially offset by $3.1 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our stock-based incentive plans. As of June 30, 2022, our remaining stock repurchase authorization was approximately $75.0 million.

On December 21, 2021, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into an amendment of our existing credit facility, dated as of January 3, 2019, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders party thereto (the “Existing Credit Agreement” and the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The Existing Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, (a) increase the aggregate principal amount of revolving credit commitments (the "Revolving Credit Facility") from $75.0 million to $150.0 million and eliminate the existing term loan facility, (b) extend the scheduled maturity date of the revolving credit commitments to December of 2026, (c) reduce the applicable margin with respect to revolving loans to, at Forrester’s option, (i) between 1.25% and 1.75% per annum for loans based on LIBOR and (ii) between 0.25% and 0.75% per annum for loans based on the applicable base rate, in each case, based on Forrester’s consolidated total leverage ratio, (d) reduce the commitment fee applicable to undrawn revolving credit commitments to between 0.30% and 0.20% per annum based on our consolidated total leverage ratio, (e) replace the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant under the Existing Credit Agreement with a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3.50:1.00 and (f) include a covenant limiting the amount of capital expenditures in each fiscal year, subject to exceptions for (i) up to $25.0 million annually with respect to our headquarters property and (ii) an additional general basket of $20.0 million annually.

The Amended Credit Agreement permits an increase in commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount up to $50.0 million, subject to approval by the Administrative Agent and certain customary terms and conditions. Additional information is provided in Note 4 – Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on December 21, 2026. There was a balance of $50.0 million outstanding on the facility at June 30, 2022.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains certain customary restrictive loan covenants, including among others, financial covenants that apply a maximum leverage ratio, minimum interest coverage ratio, and maximum annual capital expenditures. The negative covenants limit, subject to various exceptions, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, merge, consolidate, liquidate or dissolve any part of the Company, sell assets, change fiscal year, or enter into certain transactions with affiliates and subsidiaries. We were in full compliance with the covenants as of June 30, 2022 and expect to continue to be in compliance through the next 12 months.

Additional future contractual cash obligations extending over the next 12 months and beyond primarily consist of operating lease payments. We lease office space under non-cancelable operating lease agreements (refer to Note 5 – Leases in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information). The remaining duration of non-cancelable office space leases ranges from less than 1 year to 9 years. As of June 30, 2022, remaining non-cancelable lease payments are due as follows: $8.5 million in 2022, $32.4 million within 2023 and 2024, $26.2 million within 2025 and 2026, and $14.3 million beyond 2026.

In addition to the contractual cash commitments included above, we have other payables and liabilities that may be legally enforceable but are not considered contractual commitments.

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable investments of $122.6 million. This balance includes $78.7 million held outside of the U.S. If the cash outside of the U.S. is needed for operations in the U.S., we would be required to accrue and pay U.S. state taxes and may be required to pay withholding taxes to foreign jurisdictions to repatriate these funds. However, our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the U.S. and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate these funds for our U.S. operations. We believe that our current cash balance and cash flows from operations will satisfy working capital, financing activities, and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months and to meet our known long-term cash requirements.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined under Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022.
