Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to state fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and the consolidated cash flows of the Company. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including those related to derivatives and hedging activities, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, litigation reserves, restructuring reserves, allowance for credit losses, contingent consideration, redeemable noncontrolling interest, and valuation of goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, primarily held in interest-bearing investments, and liquid short-term investments, which have original maturities of less than 90 days. Restricted cash includes cash whereby the Company’s ability to use the funds at any time is contractually limited or is generally designated for specific purposes arising out of certain contractual or other obligations.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the amounts reported in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (in thousands):

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | March 31, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022 | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Cash and cash equivalents | ​ | ​ | $ | 151,379 |  | $ | 153,435 | ​
Restricted cash included in "Prepaid and other current assets" | ​ | ​ |  | 8,339 | ​ |  | 13,629 | ​
Total | ​ | ​ | $ | 159,718 |  | $ | 167,064 | ​

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the normal course of business, primarily related to accounts receivable and derivative instruments. Historically, the losses related to credit risk have been immaterial. The Company regularly monitors its credit risk to mitigate the possibility of current and future exposures resulting in a loss. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its clients prior to entering into an agreement to provide services and as necessary through the life of the client relationship. The Company does not believe it is exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in its derivative hedging activities, as the Company diversifies its activities across eight investment-grade financial institutions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

None

Other Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform” (Topic 848), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform due to the anticipated cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (”LIBOR”). The ASU is effective from March 12, 2020, may be applied prospectively and could impact the accounting for LIBOR provisions in the Company’s credit facility agreement. In addition, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform – Scope,” which clarified the scope of ASC 848 relating to contract modifications. The Company has adopted the standard effective April 1, 2023 and does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(2)ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Certain Assets of Faneuil

On April 1, 2022, the Company completed an asset acquisition through its subsidiary TTEC Government Solutions LLC, of certain public sector citizen experience contracts in the transportation infrastructure and healthcare exchange industries from Faneuil, Inc., a subsidiary of ALJ Regional Holdings, Inc. (“the Faneuil Transaction”). The business is operated as part of the TTEC Engage segment and was fully consolidated into the financial statements of TTEC. The Faneuil Transaction was recorded as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations, with identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.

Total cash paid at acquisition was $142.4 million. In addition, Faneuil granted to TTEC Government Solutions LLC a three-year call right and right of first offer to purchase certain other assets of Faneuil in its utilities and commercial healthcare verticals as well as certain proprietary technology. The Faneuil Transaction includes two contingent payments anticipated to be paid in early 2024 which are based on the revenue and EBITDA performance of one contract and one potential contract.

The fair value of the two contingent payments was estimated using a Monte Carlo model. The model was based on current expected EBITDA performance for the two specific client programs, a discount rate of 7.6% related to revenue and a discount rate of 19.3% related to EBITDA, a volatility rate of 20%, and an adjusted risk-free rate of 1.7%. The potential payments range from a minimum of zero to an unlimited maximum. Based on the model, a combined $8.8 million expected future payment was calculated and recorded as of the acquisition date. During the third quarter of 2022, a $2.4 million net gain was recorded related to fair value adjustments for the estimated contingent payments based on the timing of cash flows and market interest rates which resulted in an updated discount factor for one contract and a complete reduction for the second contract as it was not awarded to the Company. During the fourth quarter of 2022, a $0.5 million net gain was recorded related to a fair value adjustment for the estimated contingent payment based on changes in estimated EBITDA and the timing of cash flows. During the first quarter of 2023, a $0.6 million net expense was recorded related to a fair value adjustment for the estimated contingent payment based on the timing of cash flows and market interest rate changes. These (benefits) expenses were included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of March 31, 2023, the contingent payment is accrued at $6.5 million and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Faneuil Transaction included a call option providing the right but not the obligation to purchase additional assets in the utilities and commercial healthcare verticals based on trailing twelve-month revenue plus an additional earn-out payment based on newly added contracts. A second call option provided the right to purchase a software intangible asset and related support functions based on trailing twelve-month revenue. These call options were valued based on information including the call right and the exclusivity period and a $270 thousand asset was recorded as of the acquisition date which is included in Other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, reductions in fair value of $52 thousand and $140 thousand, respectively, were recorded due to changes in estimated revenue, which were included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of March 31, 2023, the fair value is $78 thousand and is included in Other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Faneuil Transaction included an indemnity escrow which was disbursed as a holdback payment on the acquisition date. The indemnity payments relate to real estate and technology funds that will be spent post-close related to various IT upgrades and real estate expenses, and indemnity related to potential future employee wage increases. The indemnity payments were valued based on a weighted average of several current scenarios and a receivable of $10.4 million was recorded as of the acquisition date. During the third and fourth quarters of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, reductions in the fair value were calculated and a $4.4 million expense, a $0.2 million expense and a $2.5 million expense, respectively, were recorded related to fair value adjustments for the receivable based on current information reflecting a better outcome with the contract negotiations and lower anticipated IT and facilities spending. The reductions in fair value related expenses were included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of the receivable is $3.2 million and is included in Other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

A multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach was used to estimate the fair value of the customer relationships intangible assets. The significant assumptions utilized in calculating the fair value of the customer relationships intangible assets were the customer attrition rate, revenue growth rates, forecasted EBITDA, contributory asset charge, and the discount rate.

​

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company finalized the valuation of Faneuil for the acquisition date assets acquired and liabilities assumed and determined that no material adjustments to any of the balances were required.

The Faneuil customer relationships are being amortized over a useful life of 10 years. The goodwill recognized from the Faneuil acquisition is attributable to, but not limited to, the acquired workforce and expected synergies with the TTEC Engage segment. The tax basis of the acquired intangibles and goodwill will be materially deductible for income tax purposes. The acquired goodwill and intangibles and operating results of Faneuil are reported within the TTEC Engage segment from the date of acquisition.

Financial Impact of Acquired Businesses

The acquired business purchased in 2022 noted above contributed revenues of $46.2 million and net income of $1.1 million to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The unaudited proforma financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 combines the consolidated results of the Company and Faneuil assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2021. The reported revenue and net income of $588.7 million and $33.4 million would have been $630.7 million and $36.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, on an unaudited proforma basis.

The Company did not have any material, nonrecurring proforma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported proforma revenue earnings. These proforma amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the acquired business results to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets had been applied from the date indicated, with the consequential tax effects.

The unaudited proforma consolidated results are not to be considered indicative of the results if the acquisition occurred in the periods mentioned above, or indicative of future operations or results. Additionally, the proforma consolidated results do not reflect any anticipated synergies expected as a result of the acquisition.

Subsequent Event

Pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement of October 26, 2019 between Ortana Holdings, Inc. and TTEC Services Corporation for the acquisition by TTEC of 70% interest in First Call Resolution, LLC (“FCR MIPA”), Ortana Holdings exercised its put rights in January 2023, which required TTEC to acquire Ortana Holdings’ remaining 30% interest in First Call Resolution, LLC. The purchase price for the remaining 30% interest was determined based on the express provisions of the FCR MIPA, was based on First Call Resolution’s performance during 2022, and was finalized at $22.4 million. The final agreement was signed on April 4, 2023.

In connection with the triggering of the option, as of March 31, 2023, the $22.4 million purchase price was reclassified from Redeemable noncontrolling interest to Accrued expenses and the remaining balance of $20.5 million was reclassified to Additional paid in capital. In February 2023, a $9.2 million payment related to excess cash distribution was completed and in April 2023 the final payment of $22.4 million was completed.

(4)SIGNIFICANT CLIENTS AND OTHER CONCENTRATIONS

The Company had one client that contributed in excess of 10% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022; this client operates in the automotive industry and is included in the TTEC Engage segment. This client contributed 10.0% and 10.4% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company does have clients with aggregate revenue exceeding $100 million annually and the loss of one or more of these clients could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, or financial condition. To mitigate this risk, the Company has multiple contracts with these larger clients, where each individual contract is for an amount below the $100 million aggregate.

To limit the Company’s credit risk with its clients, management performs periodic credit evaluations, maintains allowances for credit losses and may require pre-payment for services from certain clients. Based on currently available information, management does not believe significant credit risk existed as of March 31, 2023.

Activity in the Company’s Allowance for credit losses consists of the following (in thousands):

Accounts Receivable Factoring Agreement

The Company is party to an Uncommitted Receivables Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Bank of the West (“Bank”), whereby from time-to-time the Company may elect to sell, on a revolving basis, U.S. accounts receivables of certain clients at a discount to the Bank for cash on a limited recourse basis. The maximum amount of receivables that the Company may sell to the Bank at any given time shall not exceed $100 million. The sales of accounts receivable in accordance with the Agreement are reflected as a reduction of Accounts Receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has retained no interest in the sold receivables but retains all collection responsibilities on behalf of the Bank. The discount on the accounts receivable sold will be recorded within Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The cash proceeds from this Agreement are included in the change in accounts receivable within the operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

​

The unremitted cash is restricted cash and is included within Prepaid and other current assets with the corresponding liability included in Accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has not recorded any servicing assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2023 as the fair value of the servicing arrangement as well as the fees earned were not material to the financial statements.

Effective November 1, 2022, the Company amended the arrangement to modify the list of eligible clients whose accounts receivable may be sold pursuant to the Agreement, and to memorialize the transition from LIBOR to SOFR for discount calculation purposes.

​

The Company performs a goodwill impairment assessment on at least an annual basis. The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment assessment during the fourth quarter, or more frequently, if indicators of impairment exist. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company assessed whether any such indicators of impairment existed and concluded there were none.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company completed a small reorganization of the internal reporting structure and one component from the TTEC Digital segment was reclassified and will now be included in the TTEC Engage segment. Given the modification in reporting units, the Company conducted an impairment test before and after the change, and it was concluded that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded the carrying value on both testing dates. With the change in reporting units, the Company performed a relative fair value valuation calculation to allocate a portion of the Company’s historical goodwill to this specific component, which was then reallocated from the TTEC Digital segment to the TTEC Engage segment.

(6)DERIVATIVES

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company enters into foreign exchange related derivatives. Foreign exchange derivatives entered into consist of forward and option contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that are associated with forecasted revenue earned in foreign locations. Upon proper qualification, these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. It is the Company’s policy to only enter into derivative contracts with investment grade counterparty financial institutions, and correspondingly, the fair value of derivative assets considers, among other factors, the creditworthiness of these counterparties. Conversely, the fair value of derivative liabilities reflects the Company’s creditworthiness. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has not experienced, nor does it anticipate, any issues related to derivative counterparty defaults. The following table summarizes the aggregate unrealized net gain or loss in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands and net of tax):

(7)FAIR VALUE

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires that the Company maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The following presents information as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 for the Company’s assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the fair value hierarchy used to determine their fair value.

Accounts Receivable and Payable - The amounts recorded in the accompanying balance sheets approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.

Investments – The Company measures investments, including cost and equity method investments, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The fair values of these investments are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include market observable inputs, and discounted cash flow projections. An impairment charge is recorded when the cost of the investment exceeds its fair value and this condition is determined to be other-than-temporary.

Debt - The Company’s debt consists primarily of the Company’s Credit Facility, which permits floating-rate borrowings based upon the current Prime Rate or LIBOR plus a credit spread as determined by the Company’s leverage ratio calculation (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $930.0 million and $960.0 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. During the first quarter of 2023 outstanding borrowings accrued interest at an average rate of 6.0% per annum, excluding unused commitment fees. The amounts recorded in the accompanying Balance Sheets approximate fair value due to the variable nature of the debt based on Level 2 inputs.

Derivatives - Net derivative assets (liabilities) are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The portfolio is valued using models based on market observable inputs, including both forward and spot foreign exchange rates, interest rates, implied volatility, and counterparty credit risk, including the ability of each party to execute its obligations under the contract. As of March 31, 2023, credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts.

The following is a summary of the Company’s fair value measurements for its net derivative assets (liabilities) as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

Deferred Compensation Plan — The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan structured as a Rabbi trust for certain eligible employees. The plan assets are invested in a variety of equity and bond mutual funds. The deferred compensation asset represents the combined fair value of all the funds based on quoted values and market observable inputs.

Contingent Consideration - The Company recorded contingent consideration payable related to the acquisition of Faneuil that closed in 2022. The contingent payables for Faneuil were calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation including a discount rate of 19.3%. The measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market. The Company records interest expense each period using the effective interest method until the future value of these contingent payments reaches the expected total future value.

(8)IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

During each of the periods presented, the Company evaluated the recoverability of its leasehold improvement assets at certain customer engagement centers as well as all internally developed software projects. An asset group is considered to be impaired when the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows of its asset group is estimated to be less than the asset group’s carrying value. The amount of impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its fair value. To determine fair value, the Company used Level 3 inputs in its discounted cash flows analysis. Assumptions included the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized impairment losses, net related to leasehold improvements assets, right of use lease assets, internally developed software and certain computer equipment of $4.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, across the TTEC Digital and TTEC Engage segments.

(9)INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting literature for income taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of transactions that have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Quarterly, the Company assesses the likelihood that its net deferred tax assets will be recovered. Based on the weight of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that a future tax benefit will not be realized. The Company’s selection of an accounting policy with respect to both the global intangible low taxed foreign income (“GILTI”) and base erosion and anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) rules is to compute the related taxes in the period the entity becomes subject to either GILTI or BEAT.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $21.4 million of net deferred tax assets (after a $27.2 million valuation allowance) and a net deferred tax asset of $17.7 million (after deferred tax liabilities of $3.7 million) related to the United States and international tax jurisdictions whose recoverability is dependent upon future profitability.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was 27.5% and 17.5%, respectively.

The Company’s U.S. income tax returns filed for the tax years ending December 31, 2017 to present, remain open tax years. The Company has been notified of the intent to audit or is currently under audit of income taxes for the United States for tax year 2017 and 2018, the Philippines for tax year 2020, the state of California in the United States for tax years 2017 and 2018, and India for tax years 2017 through 2020. Although the outcome of examinations by taxing authorities are always uncertain, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these audits will not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

When there is a change in judgment concerning the recovery of deferred tax assets in future periods, a valuation allowance is recorded into earnings during the quarter in which the change in judgment occurred. In the first, second and third quarters of 2022, $1.3 million, $0.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively, were released from the valuation allowance for assets that are expected to be recognized in the future. During the first quarter of 2023, a $1.3 million valuation was recorded for assets that are not expected to be recovered in future periods.

The Company has been granted “Tax Holidays” as an incentive to attract foreign investment by the governments of the Philippines and Costa Rica. Generally, a Tax Holiday is an agreement between the Company and a foreign government under which the Company receives certain tax benefits in that country, such as exemption from taxation on profits derived from export-related activities. In the Philippines, the Company has been granted multiple agreements under local laws which result in an overall reduced tax rate. These incentives have varying benefit year over year and expire at various times beginning in 2030. The aggregate benefit to income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, which had an impact on diluted net income per share of $0.01 and $0.02, respectively.

(10)COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Credit Facility

On November 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) originally dated June 3, 2013, (collectively, the “Credit Facility”) to convert the $300 million term loan included in the total Credit Facility commitments, that was previously agreed on March 25, 2021 as part of the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, into a $1.5 billion senior secured revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of lenders led by Wells Fargo, National Association, as agent, swingline and fronting lender. The Credit Facility matures on November 23, 2026.

(Unaudited)

On April 3, 2023, the Company entered into a Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement which replaces the use of LIBOR with Spread Adjusted SOFR as of the date of the amendment, thus will affect the interest rates paid for a portion of the Credit Facility starting in the second quarter of 2023.

The maximum commitment under the Credit Facility is $1.5 billion in the aggregate, if certain conditions are satisfied. The Credit Facility commitment fees are payable to the lenders in an amount equal to the unused portion of the Credit Facility multiplied by a rate per annum as determined by reference to the Company’s net leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants. The Credit Agreement permits accounts receivable factoring up to the greater of $100 million or 25 percent of the average book value of all accounts receivable over the most recent twelve-month period. The Credit Agreement also permits the utilization of up to $100 million of limits within the Credit Facility for letters of credit to be used in the business.

Base rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the greatest of (i) prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, and (iii) 1.00% in excess of the one month LIBOR; plus in each case a margin of 0% to 0.875% based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. Eurodollar loans bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.0% to 1.875% based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. Alternate currency loans bear interest at rates applicable to their respective currencies.

Letter of credit fees are one eighth of 1% of the stated amount of the letter of credit on the date of issuance, renewal or amendment, plus an annual fee equal to the borrowing margin for Eurodollar loans.

The Company primarily utilizes its Credit Facility to fund working capital, general operations, dividends and other strategic activities, such as the acquisitions described in Note 2. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had borrowings of $930.0 million and $960.0 million, respectively, under its Credit Facility, and its average daily utilization was $1,061.9 million and $917.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Based on the current level of availability based on the covenant calculations, the Company’s remaining borrowing capacity was approximately $335 million as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions under its Credit Agreement.

Letters of Credit

As of March 31, 2023, outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility totaled $ 0.2 million and primarily guaranteed workers’ compensation and other insurance related obligations. As of March 31, 2023, letters of credit and contract performance guarantees issued outside of the Credit Agreement totaled $0.3 million.

Guarantees

Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain of the Company’s present and future domestic subsidiaries.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company has been involved in legal actions, both as plaintiff and defendant, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for exposures associated with such legal actions to the extent that losses are deemed both probable and reasonably estimable. To the extent specific reserves have not been made for certain legal proceedings, their ultimate outcome, and consequently, an estimate of possible loss, if any, cannot reasonably be determined at this time.

Based on currently available information and advice received from counsel, the Company believes that the disposition or ultimate resolution of any current legal proceedings, except as otherwise specifically reserved for in its financial statements, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

(11)DEFERRED REVENUE AND REMAINING PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS

Revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from amounts included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2022 was $76.2 million. Revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from amounts included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 was $78.2 million.

Remaining performance obligations (RPO) represent the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, including both deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. The Company’s RPO excludes performance obligations from on-demand arrangements as there are no minimum purchase commitments associated with these arrangements, and certain time and materials contracts that are billed in arrears.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s RPO was $301.5 million, which will be delivered and recognized within the next five years. However, the amount and timing of revenue recognition are generally driven by customer consumption, which can extend beyond the original contract term in cases where customers are permitted to roll over unused capacity to future periods, generally upon the purchase of additional capacity at renewal.

Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Grants

During 2019, the Company awarded performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) that were subject to service and performance vesting conditions. If defined minimum targets were met, the annual value of the PRSUs issued would be between $0.4 million and $1.4 million and vest immediately. If the defined minimum targets were not met, then no shares would be issued. The award amounts were based on the Company’s annual adjusted operating income for the fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021. Each fiscal year’s adjusted operating income determined the award amount. The Company recognized compensation expense related to the 2019 PRSUs of zero for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

During 2020, the Company awarded PRSUs that are subject to service and performance vesting conditions. If defined minimum targets are met, the annual value of the PRSUs issued will be between $0.2 million and $2.0 million and vest immediately. If the defined minimum targets are not met, then no shares will be issued. The number of shares awarded are based on the Company’s annual revenue and adjusted operating income for the fiscal years 2021 and 2022. Each fiscal year’s revenue and adjusted operating income will determine the award amount. The Company recognized compensation expense related to the 2020 PRSUs of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

During 2021, the Company awarded PRSUs that are subject to service and performance vesting conditions. If defined minimum targets are met, the annual value of the PRSUs issued will be between $1.2 million and $4.9 million and vest immediately in 2024.

The number of shares that will be awarded will be based on the Company’s annual revenue and adjusted operating income for the fiscal year 2023. The Company recognized compensation expense related to the 2021 PRSUs of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

During 2022, the Company made awards of two different PRSU programs that are subject to service and performance vesting conditions: ordinary course annual PRSUs and one-time stretch financial goals PRSUs. For the ordinary course annual PRSUs, if defined minimum targets are met, the annual value of the PRSUs issued will be between $0.9 million and $3.5 million and vest immediately in March 2025. If the defined minimum targets are not met, then no shares will be issued. The number of shares that will be awarded will be based on the Company’s annual revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2024. For the one-time stretch financial goals PRSUs, if defined minimum targets at TTEC Engage and TTEC Digital business segments’ levels are met, the number of shares of PRSUs issued will be between 0.0 million shares and 0.5 million shares and will vest immediately in March 2026. If the defined minimum targets are not met, then no shares will be issued. The number of shares to be awarded will be based on the TTEC Engage and TTEC Digital business segments’ annual revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2025. Expense for these awards will begin at the start of the requisite service period, beginning January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025, respectively.

During 2023, the Company awarded PRSUs that are subject to service and performance vesting conditions. If defined minimum targets are met, the annual value of the PRSUs issued will be between zero and $8.9 million and vest immediately. If the defined minimum targets are not met, then no shares will be issued. The number of shares that will be awarded will be based on the Company’s annual revenue and adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year 2025. Expense for these awards will begin at the start of the requisite service period, beginning January 1, 2025.

Financial Highlights

In the first quarter of 2023, our revenue increased $44.6 million, or 7.6%, to $633.3 million over the same period in 2022 including a decrease of $6.1 million, or 1.0%, due to foreign currency fluctuations. The increase in revenue was comprised of a $5.5 million, or 4.9%, increase for TTEC Digital and an increase of $39.0 million, or 8.2%, for TTEC Engage.

Our first quarter 2023 income from operations decreased $3.9 million, or (8.1)%, to $44.4 million or 7.0% of revenue, compared to $48.3 million or 8.2% of revenue in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in operating income is comprised of a number of factors across the segments. The TTEC Digital operating income decreased 87.3% due to impairments of real estate, a continued investment in sales and marketing, and product engineering, and one-time contractual cost acceleration. The TTEC Engage operating income increased 3.6% over the same period last year primarily related to the acquisition of Faneuil and other revenue increases offset by the ramp of several new programs, geographic expansion, increased amortization of acquisition related intangible assets, and impairments of real estate leases.

Income from operations in the first quarter of 2023 and 2022 included $6.4 million and $1.7 million of restructuring charges and asset impairments, respectively.

Our offshore customer experience centers spanning six countries serve clients based in the U.S. and in other countries with 20,600 workstations, representing 62% of our global delivery capability. Revenue for our TTEC Engage segment provided in these offshore locations represented 29% of our revenue for the first quarter of 2023, as compared to 30% of our revenue for the corresponding period in 2022.

Our seat utilization is defined as the total number of utilized workstations compared to the total number of available production workstations. As of March 31, 2023, the total production workstations for our TTEC Engage segment was 33,250 and the overall capacity utilization in our centers was 76% versus 70% in the prior year period. This significant improvement was driven by the Company’s site optimization strategy as more and more clients are adopting the @Home operational platform on a permanent basis.

Post COVID-19 we expect our clients to leverage a more diversified geographic footprint and an increased mix of work from home versus brick and mortar seats. We will continue to refine our site strategy and capacity as we finalize plans with our clients and prospects.

We plan to continue to selectively retain and grow capacity and expand into new offshore markets, while maintaining appropriate capacity onshore. As we grow our offshore delivery capabilities and our exposure to foreign currency fluctuation increases, we will continue to actively manage this risk via a multi-currency hedging program designed to minimize operating margin volatility.

TTEC Digital

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Three Months Ended March 31, | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ |  | ​
​ |  | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | $ Change |  | % Change |  | ​
Revenue | ​ | $ | 116,927 | ​ | $ | 111,414 | ​ | $ | 5,513 |  | 4.9 | % | ​
Operating Income | ​ |  | 785 | ​ |  | 6,205 | ​ |  | (5,420) |  | (87.3) | % | ​
Operating Margin | ​ |  | 0.7 | % |  | 5.6 | % | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

​

The increase in revenue for the TTEC Digital segment was driven by an increase in professional services.

The operating income decrease is primarily attributable to $3.9 million of restructuring and impairment charges, continued investment in sales and marketing, product engineering, and one-time contractual cost acceleration, offset by a decrease in amortization expense. Operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased to 0.7% in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to 5.6% in the prior period. Included in operating income was amortization expense related to acquired intangibles of $4.4 million and $6.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

TTEC Engage

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Three Months Ended March 31, | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ |  | ​
​ |  | 2023 |  | 2022 |  | $ Change |  | % Change |  | ​
Revenue | ​ | $ | 516,359 | ​ | $ | 477,312 | ​ | $ | 39,047 |  | 8.2 | % | ​
Operating Income | ​ |  | 43,626 | ​ |  | 42,105 | ​ |  | 1,521 |  | 3.6 | % | ​
Operating Margin | ​ |  | 8.4 | % |  | 8.8 | % | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​

​

The increase in revenue for the TTEC Engage segment was due to a net increase of $71.8 million in client programs including the acquisition of Faneuil, offset by a decrease for program completions of $27.3 million and a $5.5 million decrease due to foreign currency fluctuations.

The operating income increased primarily due to increased revenue and a net reimbursement from insurance of $5.1 million from the cybersecurity incident. These were offset by the ramp costs for the new programs, incremental growth-oriented investments, geographic expansion, increased amortization of acquisition related intangible assets, and $2.4 million of restructuring and impairment charges. As a result, operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly to 8.4% in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to 8.8% in the prior period. Included in operating income was amortization expense related to acquired intangibles of $4.7 million and $3.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Interest Income (Expense)

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 interest income increased to $1.2 million from $0.2 million in the same period in 2022. Interest expense increased to $17.4 million during 2023 from $3.8 million during 2022 due to higher utilization of the line of credit and higher interest rates.

Other Income (Expense)

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 Other income (expense), net decreased to income of $0.7 million from income of $1.3 million during the prior year quarter.

30

Table of Contents

Included in the three months ended March 31, 2023 was a $3.2 million expense related to the fair value adjustments of contingent consideration for the Faneuil acquisition (see Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 27.5%. This compares to an effective tax rate of 17.5% for the comparable period of 2022. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was impacted by earnings in international jurisdictions currently under an income tax holiday, the distribution of income between the U.S. and international tax jurisdictions and the associated U.S. tax impacts of foreign earnings. Without a $1.1 million benefit related to equity compensation, a $2.3 million benefit related to the amortization of purchased intangibles, a $1.6 million benefit related to restructuring and impairments, $0.2 million of expense related to tax contingencies, a $0.4 million benefit related to foreign exchange, $0.8 million of expense related to the cybersecurity incident, and a $0.8 million benefit from earnouts related to acquisitions, the Company’s normalized tax rate for the first quarter of 2023 was 26.0%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash generated from operations, our cash and cash equivalents, and borrowings under our Credit Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we generated positive operating cash flows of $49.1 million. We believe that our cash generated from operations, existing cash and cash equivalents, and available credit will be sufficient to meet expected operating and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months, however, if our access to capital is restricted or our borrowing costs increase, our operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

We manage a centralized global treasury function in the United States with a focus on safeguarding and optimizing the use of our global cash and cash equivalents. Our cash is held in the U.S. in U.S. dollars, and outside of the U.S. in U.S. dollars and foreign currencies. We expect to use our cash to fund working capital, global operations, dividends, acquisitions, and other strategic activities. While there are no assurances, we believe our global cash is well protected given our cash management practices, banking partners and utilization of diversified bank deposit accounts and other high quality investments.

We have global operations that expose us to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that may positively or negatively impact our liquidity. We are also exposed to higher interest rates associated with our variable rate debt. To mitigate these risks, we enter into foreign exchange forward and option contracts through our cash flow hedging program. Please refer to Part I. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, Foreign Currency Risk, for further discussion.

The following discussion highlights our cash flow activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all liquid investments purchased within 90 days of their original maturity to be cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $151.4 million and $153.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We diversify the holdings of such cash and cash equivalents considering the financial condition and stability of the counterparty institutions.

We reinvest our cash flows to grow our client base, expand our infrastructure, invest in research and development, for strategic acquisitions and to pay dividends.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, net cash flows provided by operating activities was $49.1 million and $13.7 million, respectively. The increase is primarily due to an $8.1 million decrease in net cash income from operations offset by a $43.4 million increase in net working capital.

31

Table of Contents

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, net cash flows used in investing activities was $13.6 million and $16.7 million, respectively. The decrease was due to a $3.0 million decrease in capital expenditures.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, net cash flows used in financing activities was $43.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively. The change in net cash flows from 2022 to 2023 was primarily due to a $42.0 million net change in the line of credit offset by a $1.0 million decrease in tax payments related to restricted stock units.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow (see “Presentation of Non-GAAP Measurements” below for the definition of free cash flow) increased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to a decrease in net cash from operations, an increase in working capital and lower capital expenditures. Free cash flow was $35.4 million and ($3.0) million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Measurements

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measurement. We believe that free cash flow is useful to our investors because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available for debt obligations and investments other than purchases of property, plant and equipment. Free cash flow is not a measure determined by GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for “income from operations,” “net income,” “net cash provided by operating activities,” or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe this non-GAAP liquidity measure is useful, in addition to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of “net cash provided by operating activities,” because free cash flow includes investments in operational assets. Free cash flow does not represent residual cash available for discretionary expenditures, since it includes cash required for debt service. Free cash flow also includes cash that may be necessary for acquisitions, investments and other needs that may arise.

The following table reconciles net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow for our consolidated results (in thousands):

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | Three Months Ended March 31,
​ |  |  | 2023 |  | 2022 | ​
Net cash provided by operating activities | ​ | ​ | $ | 49,058 | ​ | $ | 13,686 | ​
Less: Purchases of property, plant and equipment | ​ | ​ |  | 13,669 | ​ |  | 16,691 | ​
Free cash flow | ​ | ​ | $ | 35,389 | ​ | $ | (3,005) | ​

Obligations and Future Capital Requirements

There were no material changes to the Company’s contractual obligations and future capital requirements outside the normal course of business from the date of our 2022 Form 10-K filing on February 28, 2023 through the filing of this report.

Future Capital Requirements

We expect total capital expenditures in 2023 to be between 3.4% and 3.6% of revenue. Approximately 65% of these expected capital expenditures are to support growth in our business and 35% relate to the maintenance for existing assets. The anticipated level of 2023 capital expenditures is primarily driven by new client contracts and the corresponding requirements for additional customer experience center capacity as well as enhancements to our technological infrastructure.

32

Table of Contents

The amount of capital required over the next 12 months will depend on our levels of investment in infrastructure necessary to maintain, upgrade or replace existing assets. Our working capital and capital expenditure requirements could also increase materially in the event of acquisitions or joint ventures, among other factors. These factors could require that we raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital upon commercially reasonable terms acceptable to us.

Client Concentration

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, one of our clients represented 10% of our total revenue. Our five largest clients, collectively, accounted for 34.6% and 37.0% of our consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We have had long-term relationships with our top five TTEC Engage clients, ranging from 17 to 23 years, with all of these clients having completed multiple contract renewals with us. The relative contribution of any single client to consolidated earnings is not always proportional to the relative revenue contribution on a consolidated basis and varies greatly based upon specific contract terms. In addition, clients may adjust business volumes served by us based on their business requirements. We believe the risk of this concentration is mitigated, in part, by the long-term contracts we have with our largest clients. Although certain client contracts may be terminated for convenience by either party, we believe this risk is mitigated, in part, by the service level disruptions and transition/migration costs that would arise for our clients if they terminated our contract for convenience.

Some contracts with our five largest clients expire between 2023 and 2025, but many of our largest clients have multiple contracts with us with different expiration dates for different lines of work. We have historically renewed most of our contracts with our largest clients, but there can be no assurance that future contracts will be renewed or, if renewed, will be on terms as favorable as the existing contracts.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated cash flows due to adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and rates. Market risk also includes credit and non-performance risk by counterparties to our various financial instruments. We are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates (as measured against the U.S. dollar); as well as credit risk associated with potential non-performance of our counterparty banks. These exposures are directly related to our normal operating and funding activities. We enter into derivative instruments to manage and reduce the impact of currency exchange rate changes, primarily between the U.S. dollar/Philippine peso, the U.S. dollar/Mexican peso, and the Australian dollar/Philippine peso. To mitigate against credit and non-performance risk, it is our policy to only enter into derivative contracts and other financial instruments with investment grade counterparty financial institutions and, correspondingly, our derivative valuations reflect the creditworthiness of our counterparties. As of the date of this report, we have not experienced, nor do we anticipate, any issues related to derivative counterparty defaults.

Interest Rate Risk

The interest rate on our Credit Agreement is variable based upon the Prime Rate and LIBOR and, therefore, is affected by changes in market interest rates. As of March 31, 2023, we had $930.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Based upon average outstanding borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2023, interest accrued at a rate of approximately 6.0% per annum, respectively. If the Prime Rate or LIBOR increased by 100 basis points, there would be an annualized $1.0 million of additional interest expense per $100.0 million of outstanding borrowing under the Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Risk

Our subsidiaries in the Philippines, Mexico, India, Bulgaria and Poland use the local currency as their functional currency for paying labor and other operating costs. Conversely, revenue for these foreign subsidiaries is derived principally from client contracts that are invoiced and collected in U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. As a result, we may experience foreign currency gains or losses, which may positively or negatively affect our results of operations attributed to these subsidiaries. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, revenue associated with this foreign exchange risk was 18% and 18% of our consolidated revenue, respectively.

In order to mitigate the risk of these non-functional foreign currencies weakening against the functional currencies of the servicing subsidiaries, which thereby decreases the economic benefit of performing work in these countries, we may hedge a portion, though not 100%, of the projected foreign currency exposure related to client programs served from these foreign countries through our cash flow hedging program. While our hedging strategy can protect us from adverse changes in foreign currency rates in the short term, an overall weakening of the non-functional foreign currencies would adversely impact margins in the segments of the servicing subsidiary over the long term.

Cash Flow Hedging Program

To reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations associated with forecasted revenue in non-functional currencies, we purchase forward and/or option contracts to acquire the functional currency of the foreign subsidiary at a fixed exchange rate at specific dates in the future. We have designated and account for these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges for forecasted revenue in non-functional currencies.

While we have implemented certain strategies to mitigate risks related to the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, we cannot ensure that we will not recognize gains or losses from international transactions, as this is part of transacting business in an international environment. Not every exposure is or can be hedged and, where hedges are put in place based on expected foreign exchange exposure, they are based on forecasts for which actual results may differ from the original estimate. Failure to successfully hedge or anticipate currency risks properly could adversely affect our consolidated operating results.

Our cash flow hedging instruments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are summarized as follows (in thousands). All hedging instruments are forward contracts, except as noted.

The fair value of our cash flow hedges as of March 31, 2023 was assets/(liabilities) (in thousands):

​

Our cash flow hedges are valued using models based on market observable inputs, including both forward and spot foreign exchange rates, implied volatility, and counterparty credit risk. The increase in fair value from December 31, 2022 reflects changes in the currency translation between the U.S. dollar and Mexican peso and U.S. dollar and Philippine pesos.

We recorded gains of $0.5 million and $0.3 million for settled cash flow hedge contracts and the related premiums for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These gains were reflected in Revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). If the exchange rates between our various currency pairs were to increase or decrease by 10% from current period-end levels, we would incur a material gain or loss on the contracts. However, any gain or loss would be mitigated by corresponding increases or decreases in our underlying exposures.

Other than the transactions hedged as discussed above and in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the majority of the transactions of our U.S. and foreign operations are denominated in their respective local currency. However, transactions are denominated in other currencies from time-to-time. We do not currently engage in hedging activities related to these types of foreign currency risks because we believe them to be insignificant as we endeavor to settle these accounts on a timely basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, approximately 13% and 14%, respectively, of revenue was derived from contracts denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our results from operations and revenue could be adversely affected if the U.S. dollar strengthens significantly against foreign currencies.

Fair Value of Debt and Equity Securities

We did not have any investments in marketable debt or equity securities as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

This report includes the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”) required by Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). See Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2. This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and control evaluations referred to in those certifications.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of March 31, 2023, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls

Our management, including the CEO and CFO, believes that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of internal control are met. Further, the design of internal controls must consider the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Inherent limitations within internal controls include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of controls. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. While the objective of the design of any system of controls is to provide reasonable assurance of the effectiveness of controls, such design is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and such assumptions, while reasonable, may not take into account all potential future conditions. Thus, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Therefore, because of the inherent limitations in cost effective internal controls, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be prevented or detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In November 2001, our Board of Directors (“Board”) authorized a stock repurchase program with the objective of increasing stockholder returns. The Board periodically authorizes additional increases to the program. The most recent Board authorization to purchase additional common stock occurred in February 2017, whereby the Board increased the program allowance by $25.0 million. Since inception of the program through March 31, 2023, the Board has authorized the repurchase of shares up to a total value of $762.3 million, of which we have purchased 46.1 million shares on the open market for $735.8 million. The Company did not repurchase any of its shares during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023 the remaining amount authorized for repurchases under the program was approximately $26.6 million. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date.
