1. Basis of Presentation and General Information
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Hackett Group
,
Inc. (“Hackett” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the Company’s accounts and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries which the Company is required to consolidate. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these statements do not include all the disclosures normally required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 30, 2016, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 10, 2017. The consolidated results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and unbilled revenue, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and debt. As of September 29, 2017 and December 30, 2016, the carrying amount of each financial instrument approximated the instrument’s respective fair value due to the short-term nature and maturity of these instruments.
The Company uses significant other observable market data or assumptions (Level 2 inputs as defined in accounting guidance) that it believes market participants would use in pricing debt. The fair value of the debt approximated the carrying amount, using Level 2 inputs, due to the short-term variable interest rates based on market rates.
Business Combinations
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, in the accounting for its acquisitions, which requires recognition of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values, separately from goodwill. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition date fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as contingent consideration, where applicable, its estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, that may be up to 12 months from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, the impact of any subsequent adjustments is included in the consolidated statements of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on revenue recognition, which provides for a single, principles-based model for revenue recognition and replaces the existing revenue recognition guidance. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017 and will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. It permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method and early adoption is permitted, however not before December 15, 2016.

1. Basis of Presentation and General Information
(continued)
The Company has completed an initial assessment of the impact of the new guidance on its existing revenue recognition policies and plans to adopt the rule on December 30, 2017, using the cumulative effect method of adoption. The guidance requires significantly expanded disclosures around the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, which the Company is currently compiling. While the Company has not fully completed its assessment of the impact of the standard, based on the analysis completed to date, the Company does not currently anticipate that the new rule will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on leases which supersedes the current lease guidance. The core principle requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from nearly all leases on the balance sheet. Accounting applied by lessors will remain largely consistent with previous guidance. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statements of cash flows. Under the new standard, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies should be recognized as income tax expense or benefit on the statements of income. An excess income tax benefit arises when the tax deduction of a share-based award for income tax purposes exceeds the compensation cost recognized for financial reporting purposes and, a tax deficiency arises when the compensation cost exceeds the tax deduction. Under current GAAP, excess tax benefits are recognized as additional paid-in capital while tax deficiencies are recognized either as an offset to accumulated excess tax benefits, if any, or on the statements of income.
Management adopted the guidance effective December 31, 2016. As a result of the adoption of this guidance, management made an accounting policy election to recognize the effect of forfeitures in compensation cost when they occur, which had an immaterial impact on results of operations and financial position and no impact on cash flows at adoption. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company recorded no income tax expense as a result of the adoption of the new guidance relating to the accounting on the vesting of share-based awards. Excluding the effect of the new guidance, the effective tax rate would have been 34% for certain federal, foreign and state taxes during the nine months ended September 29, 2017.
In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments. The guidance provides specific clarification on eight cash flow classification issues, including contingent consideration payments made after a business combination. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted and the guidance requires a retrospective transition. We do not expect the guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

2. Net Income per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. With regard to common stock subject to vesting requirements and restricted stock units issued to the Company’s employees and non-employee members of its Board of Directors, the calculation includes only the vested portion of such stock and units.
Dilutive net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the assumed conversion of other potentially dilutive securities during the period.
The following table reconciles basic and dilutive weighted average common shares:

5. Restructuring Costs
In the prior quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded restructuring costs of $1.3 million,
which was primarily related to the transition of resources driven by our migration from on-premise software to cloud-based implementations, as well as the Jibe acquisition, and the rationalization of global resources as a result of the emergence of RPA (“Robotic Process Automation”) related engagements from the Aecus acquisition.
As of September 29, 2017, the Company did not have any remaining commitments related to restructuring.

6. Credit Facility
In February 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), pursuant to which Bank of America agreed to lend the Company up to $20.0 million pursuant to a revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) and up to $47.0 million pursuant to a term loan (the “Term Loan”). The Company has fully utilized and repaid its Term Loan.
On May 9, 2016, the Company amended and restated the credit agreement with Bank of America to:
|
•
|
Provide for up to an additional $25.0 million of borrowing under the Revolver for a total borrowing capacity of $45.0 million; and
|
|
•
|
Extend the maturity date on the Revolver to May 9, 2021, five years from the date of this amendment of the Credit Agreement.
|
The obligations of Hackett under the Revolver are guaranteed by active existing and future material U.S. subsidiaries of Hackett (the “U.S. Subsidiaries”), and are secured by substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of Hackett and the U.S. Subsidiaries, a 100% pledge of the capital stock of the U.S. Subsidiaries, and a 66% pledge of the capital stock of Hackett’s direct foreign subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions).
During the quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2017, the Company had net borrowings of $2.0 million and $15.0 million, respectively, under the Revolver and had a balance of $22.0 million outstanding as of September 29, 2017. The interest rates per annum applicable to borrowings under Revolver will be, at the Company’s option, equal to either a base rate or a LIBOR base rate, plus an applicable margin percentage. The applicable margin percentage is based on the consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the

6. Credit Facility (continued)
Credit Agreement. As of September 29, 2017, the applicable margin percentage was 1.50% per annum based on the consolidated leverage ratio, in the case of LIBOR rate advances, and 0.75% per annum, in the case of base rate advances. The interest rate as of September 29, 2017, was 2.73%.
The Company is subject to certain covenants, including total consolidated leverage, fixed cost coverage, adjusted fixed cost coverage and liquidity requirements, each as set forth in the Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions. As of September 29, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
7. Stock Based Compensation
During the nine months ended September 29, 2017, the Company issued 672,592 restricted stock units at a weighted average grant-date fair value of $16.61 per share. As of September 29, 2017, the Company had 1,553,240 restricted stock units outstanding at a weighted average grant-date fair value of $12.81 per share. As of September 29, 2017, $11.2 million of total restricted stock unit compensation expense related to unvested awards had not been recognized and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.0 years.
During the nine months ended September 29, 2017, 182,279 shares of common stock subject to vesting requirements were issued. These shares were issued to settle the equity portion of the closing consideration to the sellers in the acquisition of Jibe Consulting in May 2017 and will vest over four years. See Note 12 “Acquisitions” for further details. As of September 29, 2017, the Company had 531,024 shares of common stock subject to vesting requirements outstanding at a weighted average grant-date fair value of $12.85 per share. As of September 29, 2017, $4.8 million of compensation expense related to common stock subject to vesting requirements had not been recognized and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.1 years.

. Shareholders’ Equity
Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”)
In 2012, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) agreed to give up 50% of their equity incentive compensation awards under the 1998 Stock Option and Incentive Plan for the years 2012 through 2015 in exchange for 2.9 million SARs with an exercise price of $4.00, only to be earned upon the achievement of 50% growth in pro forma earnings per share and 50% growth in pro forma EBITDA from a base year of 2011. The grants would have expired if neither target were achieved during a six-year term.
In the first quarter of 2015, the outstanding SARs awards for the achievement of 50% growth in pro forma earnings per share vested with the Audit Committee’s approval of the Company’s 2014 financial statements. In the first quarter of 2016, the outstanding SARs awards for the Company’s achievement of over 50% growth of pro forma EBITDA vested with the Audit Committee’s approval of the Company’s 2015 financial statements. As of September 29, 2017, no SARs had been exercised. By the end of 2015, all non-cash stock compensation expense relating to the outstanding SARs had been expensed.
Treasury Stock
Under the Company’s share repurchase plan, the Company may buy back shares of its outstanding stock either on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions subject to market conditions and trading restrictions. During the quarter ended September 29, 2017, the Company repurchased 182 thousand shares of its common stock at an average price of $13.73 per share for a total cost of $2.5 million. During the nine months ended September 29, 2017, the Company repurchased 748 thousand shares of its common stock at an average price of $15.11 per share for a total cost of $11.3 million.
During the quarter ended September 29, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an additional $5.0 million authorization under the repurchase plan increasing the total authorization to $137.2 million. As of September 29, 2017, the Company had $3.1 million available under its share repurchase plan authorization.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company repurchased 30 thousand shares of its common stock at an average price of $14.84 per share for a total cost of $449 thousand. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company repurchased 2.1 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $14.60 per share for a total cost of $30.1 million.
The shares repurchased under the share repurchase plan during the quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2017, do not include 68 thousand and 262 thousand shares, respectively, which the Company bought back to satisfy employee net vesting obligations for a cost of $1.0 million and $4.3 million, respectively. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company bought back 4 thousand and 288 thousand shares, respectively, at a cost of $50 thousand and $3.9 million, respectively, to satisfy employee net vesting obligations.
On May 6, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the repurchase of 697 thousand shares of its common stock from the Company’s CEO, 732 thousand shares of its common stock from the Company’s COO, and 73 thousand shares of its common stock from the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) for a total of approximately 1.5 million shares at a purchase price of $14.77 per share. The transaction was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors which is comprised solely of independent directors and was effected as part of the Company’s share repurchase program. Following the transaction, Mr. Fernandez, Mr. Dungan and Mr. Ramirez remained the beneficial owners of 11.8%, 4.9% and 0.9% shares, respectively, of the outstanding common stock. Following the transaction, approximately $3.1 million remained available under the Company’s share repurchase program. One of the primary reasons for this transaction was to lower the Company’s weighted average shares outstanding which had increased by 11% from the first quarter of 2016 as a result of the vesting of the SARs and appreciation in share price. The repurchase reduced weighted average shares outstanding by approximately 4% and is $0.03 to $0.04 accretive on an annualized basis. Based on the most recent SEC filings, including shares of Company common stock beneficially owned and shares that could be acquired upon the exercise of the SARs, Mr. Fernandez continues to be the single largest beneficial shareholder of the Company.
In reviewing and approving the transaction, the independent directors of the Board considered, among other factors, the benefits to the Company’s stockholders of this transaction such as the fact that (i) the share repurchase transaction is expected to be accretive to earnings per share, and (ii) the transaction was a unique opportunity to repurchase a large block of shares in an orderly manner. The transaction was funded from borrowings under the Company’s Revolver which was amended on May 9, 2016 in order to provide an additional $25.0 million in borrowing capacity for an aggregate amount of up to $45.0 million from time to time.

Dividend Program
In 2016, the Company increased the annual dividend from $0.20 per share to $0.26 per share to be paid on a semi-annual basis which resulted in aggregate dividends of $4.0 million paid to shareholders of record on July 11, 2016 and December 22, 2016, respectively. These dividends were paid from U.S. domestic sources and are accounted for as an increase to accumulated deficit. The dividend declared in December 2016 was paid in January 2017. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company increased its annual dividend to $0.30 per share to be paid on a semi-annual basis. The first semi-annual dividend for 2017 was paid on July 10, 2017, for a total of $4.6 million. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company declared its semi-annual dividend of $0.15 per share for shareholders of record as of December 22, 2017, which is to be paid on January 5, 2018.

Acquisitions
Jibe Consulting, Inc.
Effective May 1, 2017, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Jibe Consulting, Inc. (“Jibe”), a U.S.- based Oracle E-Business Suite (“EBS”) and Oracle Cloud Business Application implementation firm. The acquisition of Jibe enhances the Company’s Cloud Application capabilities and strongly complements its market leading EPM transformation and technology implementation group.
The sellers’ purchase consideration was $5.4
million in cash, not subject to vesting, and $3.6 million in shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to vesting. The equity that was issued has a four-year vesting term and will be recorded as compensation expense over the respective vesting period. In addition, the sellers have the opportunity to earn an additional $6.6 million in cash and $4.4 million in Company common stock based on the achievement of performance targets over the 18 months period following closing for a total of $11.0 million in contingent consideration; a portion of which will be allocated to key employees in both cash and Company stock. The cash related to the contingent consideration which is to be paid to the sellers is not subject to service vesting and has been accounted for as part of the purchase consideration. The cash related to the contingent consideration, which is to be paid to the key employees, is subject to service vesting and is being accounted for as compensation expense. This contingent liability has been recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as non-current accrued expenses and other liabilities. The equity related to the contingent consideration will be subject to service vesting and will be recorded as compensation expense over the respective vesting period. As of September 29, 2017, the Company had recorded $1.0 million of acquisition-related compensation expense and non-cash stock compensation related to the equity portion of the closing consideration and the equity portion of the contingent consideration. The initial cash consideration was funded from borrowings under the Company’s Revolver.
The purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions made by management at the time of the acquisition. Management is currently working to complete the valuation of identified intangible assets, goodwill and related deferred income taxes. As additional information, as of the acquisition date, becomes available and as management completes its evaluation, the preliminary purchase price allocation may be revised during the remainder of the measurement period (which will not exceed 12 months from the acquisition date). Any such revisions or changes may be material as the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are finalized. The following table presents the preliminary purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on the fair values (in thousands):

. Acquisitions
(continued)
The acquisition was not material to the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows and therefore, the pro forma impact of these acquisitions is not presented. Since the acquisition date through September 29, 2017, Jibe contributed $7.6 million of revenue before reimbursable expenses and contribution before depreciation, amortization, interest, corporate overhead allocation and taxes of $0.7 million. The acquisition related costs incurred in the second quarter of 2017 totaled $0.2 million and were all classified in selling, general and administrative costs in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. All goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Aecus Limited
Effective April 6, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of the U.K.-based operations of Aecus Limited (“Aecus”), a European Outsourcing Advisory and Robotics Process Automation (“RPA”) consulting firm. This acquisition strongly complements the global strategy and business transformation offerings of the Hackett Group.
The sellers’ purchase consideration was £3.2 million in cash. In addition, the sellers have the opportunity to earn an additional £2.4 million in contingent consideration in cash based on the achievement of performance targets achieved over the next 12 months and key personnel have the opportunity to earn £0.3 million in cash and £0.3 million in the Company’s common stock. The contingent consideration for the selling shareholders and key personnel is subject to performance and service periods and will be accounted for as compensation expense and in non-current accrued expenses and other liabilities. As of September 29, 2017, the Company had recorded a total of $0.9 million of acquisition-related compensation expense and acquisition non-cash stock compensation expense for the cash and equity portion of the contingent consideration. The closing purchase consideration was funded with the Company’s available funds.
The purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values.
