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, 2022. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 may not be indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2023, or any other period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The amendments in this update defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The amendments in this update apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The standard has not impacted the Company’s financial position or results of operations, and will not have an impact in the future as the Company no longer has any financial instruments that reference 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.

Note 4 — Debt
The Company has a credit facility that provides up to $
The credit facility 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 September 30, 2023.
9
The Company may voluntarily prepay revolving loans under the credit facility at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty. No interim amortization payments are required to be made under the credit facility.
The credit facility provides that once LIBOR ceases to exist in 2023, the benchmark rate for the loans outstanding will automatically transfer from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). In April 2023, the Company executed a second amendment to the credit facility to facilitate the conversion from LIBOR to SOFR and to set the base interest rate at SOFR plus 10 basis points.

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 in 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 in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are not material.

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
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 invoiced for annual periods, and payment is expected within
Deferred Revenue
The Company refers to contract liabilities as deferred revenue in 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 September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $

$ |
|
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 in 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 September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $

Note 7 — Derivatives and Hedging
Interest Rate Swap
During 2019, the Company entered into a single interest rate swap contract that matured on December 31,
The swap was used to mitigate the cash flow risk associated with changes in interest rates on the Company’s variable rate debt (refer to Note 4 – Debt). The Company accounted for this 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.
The swap had been designated and accounted for as a cash flow hedge of the forecasted interest payments on the Company’s debt. The swap was considered to be a highly effective hedge of the designated interest rate risk for the entire contract period and changes in the fair value of the swap were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Foreign Currency Forwards
The Company enters into a limited number of 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, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations because the Company does not designate these contracts as hedges for accounting purposes.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into nine foreign currency forward exchange contracts, all of which settled by September 30, 2023. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023, there is no amount recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these contracts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company entered into eleven foreign currency forward exchange contracts, all of which settled by September 30, 2022. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2022, there is no amount recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these contracts.
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.

Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts reflected in 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 and marketable investments. 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.
13
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):

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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $
The increase in the effective tax rate during the 2023 period was primarily due to tax expense related to the settlement of share-based awards in 2023. The Company anticipates that its effective tax rate for the full year 2023 will be approximately

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):

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.
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, restructuring and related costs, interest expense, other income, and gains on investments. The accounting policies used by the segments are the same as those used in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 15 — 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. It is the Company's policy to record accruals for legal contingencies to the extent that it has concluded that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, and to expense costs associated with loss contingencies, including any related legal fees, as they are incurred. The Company reviews its loss contingencies at least quarterly and adjusts its accruals and/or disclosures to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, or other new information, as deemed necessary. Once established, a provision may change in the future due to new developments or changes in circumstances and could increase or decrease the Company’s earnings in the period that the changes are made. Following an April 2023 mediation in a wage-related matter that resulted in a settlement agreement subject to court approval, the Company accrued $
The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses in connection with its current legal proceedings and claims and intends to vigorously contest each of them. Regardless of the outcome, legal proceedings and claims can have a material adverse effect on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
20
In the opinion of the Company's management, based upon information currently available to the Company, while the outcome of these legal proceedings and claims is uncertain, the likely results of these legal proceedings and claims are not expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows, although the effect could be material to the Company's consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows for any interim reporting period.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 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, migration of our clients into our Forrester Decisions products, 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 international operations expose us to a variety of operational risks which could negatively impact us, 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, risks related to health epidemics that could adversely impact our business 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, 2022. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, and we have also provided recast CV amounts dating back to the third quarter of 2021, 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:
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):

Contract value at September 30, 2023 was consistent with the prior year period. Client retention decreased by 2 percentage points and wallet retention decreased by 7 percentage points at September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period. However, client retention decreased by 1 percentage point compared to the prior quarter and wallet retention was consistent compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in our retention rates and number of clients from the prior year period is primarily attributable to 1) macroeconomic conditions affecting our client base including a) funding and budget pressure on our smaller technology clients and the technology industry in general, and b) the uncertain economic conditions caused by inflation, increased interest rates, geopolitical turbulence, and the ongoing threat of recession, and 2) the ongoing transition of our client base to our Forrester Decisions product platform that was launched in August 2021. As of September 30, 2023, approximately 57% of our overall CV is in our Forrester Decisions product platform. In the longer term, we anticipate that approximately 80% of our CV will be in our Forrester Decisions product platform. The remaining approximate 20% of CV represents non-Forrester Decisions CV products, primarily reprints. The ongoing macroeconomic conditions and product transition are anticipated to pressure our key metrics through at least the first half of 2024.
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, 2022.

Total revenues decreased 11% and 10% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, and revenues from customers outside the U.S. increased 1% and decreased 5% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
Research revenues are recognized primarily on a ratable basis over the term of the contracts, which are generally 12 or 24-month periods. Research revenues decreased 7% and 5% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The decrease in revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decline in revenue from our reprint product and our other smaller and discontinued products coupled with a decline in revenue from our subscription research products of 1%. The decrease in revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decline in revenue from our reprint product and our other smaller and discontinued products, which was partially offset by revenue from our subscription research products growing 1%.
Consulting revenues decreased 24% and 22% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The decrease in revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was due to a decrease in delivery of both advisory and consulting services due to lower client bookings due to 1) the macroeconomic environment and 2) based on our continued focus on contract value products, we have enacted a policy of only selling consulting to contract value clients, except in limited circumstances.
Events revenues increased 41% and were flat during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The increase in revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was due to an increase in the number of events held in the current period, as one event that was held in the fourth quarter of 2022 took place in the third quarter of 2023. Accordingly, during the fourth quarter of 2023, we will hold one less event as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.

Cost of services and fulfillment expenses decreased 9% during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to (1) a $3.4 million decrease in professional services costs primarily due to a decrease in contractor costs, outsourced expenses, and consulting fees and (2) a $1.7 million decrease in compensation and benefit costs due to a decrease in headcount. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in event expenses primarily due to an increase in the number of events held during the current quarter.
Cost of service and fulfillment expenses decreased 9% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to (1) a $7.9 million decrease in professional services costs primarily due to a decrease in contractor costs, outsourced expenses, and consulting fees, (2) a $6.5 million decrease in compensation and benefit costs due to a decrease in headcount, incentive bonus costs, and benefit costs (due to the introduction of the flexible vacation and personal paid time off policy in the United States), and (3) a $1.2 million decrease in facilities costs due to a decrease in straight-line lease expense and variable lease expense. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in event expenses primarily due to an increase in the number of events in the current period.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased 10% during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to (1) a $3.3 million decrease in compensation and benefit costs due to a decrease in commissions expense and headcount and (2) a $0.4 million decrease in software costs.
Selling and marketing expenses decreased 8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to (1) a $8.0 million decrease in compensation and benefit costs due a decrease in commissions expense, headcount, incentive bonus costs, and benefit costs (due to the introduction of the flexible vacation and personal paid time off policy in the United States), (2) a $1.0 million decrease in facilities costs due to a decrease in straight-line lease expense and variable lease expense, (3) a $0.6 million decrease in professional services costs primarily due to a decrease in consulting fees, and (4) a $0.6 million decrease in travel and entertainment expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased 8% during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.9 million decrease in compensation and benefit costs due to a decrease in headcount.
General and administrative expenses increased 8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to (1) a $5.3 million increase in legal costs, due primarily to a $4.8 million provision for a preliminary legal settlement for a wage-related matter and related legal services, and (2) a $0.7 million increase in software costs. These increases were partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in compensation and benefit costs due a decrease in incentive bonus costs and benefit costs (due to the introduction of the flexible vacation and personal paid time off policy in the United States), which were partially offset by an increase in salary costs due to an increase in average headcount.
26
Depreciation
The fluctuation for depreciation expense was immaterial during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year periods.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization expense decreased by $0.3 million and $0.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods due to a decrease in the amortization of a trademark intangible asset.
Restructuring and Related Costs
In January 2023, we implemented a reduction in our workforce of approximately 4% across various geographies and functions to streamline operations. We recorded $4.3 million of severance and related costs for this action during the fourth quarter of 2022, and $0.6 million during the first quarter of 2023. We recorded a restructuring charge of $5.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2022 related to closing one floor of our offices in California, of which $3.7 million related to an impairment of a right-of-use asset and $1.3 million related to an impairment of leasehold improvements. During the first quarter of 2023, we recorded an incremental $0.4 million impairment to our California office. We also recorded a $0.6 million charge during the first quarter of 2023 for the write-off of a previously capitalized software project. We expect all of the severance and related costs for this plan to be paid during 2023.
In May 2023, we implemented a reduction in our workforce of approximately 8% across various geographies and functions to better align our cost structure with our revised revenue outlook for the year, and to streamline our sales and consulting organizations to more efficiently go to market in support of driving contract value growth in the future. We recorded $7.5 million of severance and related costs for this action during the second quarter of 2023. In addition, we closed certain of our smaller offices both inside and outside the U.S. in order to reduce facility costs and better match our facilities to our hybrid work strategy. As a result of closing the offices, we recorded restructuring costs of $2.3 million, which included $1.3 million related to right-of-use asset impairments and accelerated amortization and $0.6 million related to impairments of leasehold improvements. We also incurred $0.7 million in contract termination costs. We expect the majority of the severance and related costs for this plan to be paid during 2023.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists of interest on our borrowings and in 2022 also included realized gains and losses on the related interest rate swap. Interest expense increased by $0.2 million and $0.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods due to an increase in the annualized interest rate on our borrowings, which was partially offset by lower average outstanding borrowings.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net primarily consists of interest income, gains and losses on foreign currency, and gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts. Other income, net increased $0.2 million and $1.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods primarily due to an increase in interest income.
Gain on Investments, Net
Gain on investments, net primarily represents our share of equity method investment gains and losses from our technology-related investment funds. The fluctuation for gain on investments, net was immaterial during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year periods.

Income tax expense decreased by $7.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period primarily due to the decrease in income from operations. The increase in the effective tax rate during the 2023 period was
27
primarily due to tax expense related to the settlement of share-based awards in 2023. For the full year 2023, we anticipate that our effective tax rate will be approximately 50%.
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.
The Events segment includes the revenues and the costs of the organization responsible for developing and hosting in-person and virtual events.
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, restructuring and related costs, interest expense, other income, 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 decreased 9% and 8% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, research product revenues within this segment decreased 7% and 5%, respectively. The decrease in revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decline in revenue from our reprint product and our other smaller and discontinued products coupled with a decline in revenue from our subscription research products of 1%. The decrease in revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decline in revenue from our reprint product and our other smaller and discontinued products, which was partially offset by revenue from our subscription research products growing 1%. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, consulting product revenues within this segment decreased 28% and 31%, respectively, primarily due to decreased delivery of consulting and advisory services by our research analysts due primarily to lower client bookings for these services.
Research segment expenses decreased 4% during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the prior year period, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, expenses were consistent with the prior year period. The decrease in expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to (1) a $0.6 million decrease in compensation and benefit costs primarily due to a decrease in headcount and (2) a $0.6 million decrease in professional services primarily due to a decrease in contractor costs and consulting fees.
Consulting segment revenues decreased 23% and 18% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The decrease in revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in delivery of consulting services due to lower client bookings due to 1) the macroeconomic environment and 2) based on our continued focus on contract value products, we have enacted a policy of only selling consulting to contract value clients, except in limited circumstances.
Consulting segment expenses decreased 27% and 20% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The decrease in expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to (1) a $2.0 million decrease in professional services primarily due to a decrease in contractor costs and consulting fees, (2) a $1.2 million decrease in compensation and benefit costs primarily due to a decrease in headcount, and (3) a $0.8 million decrease in outsourced expenses. The decrease in expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to (1) a $4.5 million decrease in professional services primarily due to a decrease in contractor costs and consulting fees, (2) a $2.0 million decrease in outsourced expenses, and (3) a $1.9 million decrease in compensation and benefit costs primarily due to a decrease in headcount and benefit costs.
Event segment revenues increased 41% during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the prior year period, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenues were consistent with the prior period. The increase in revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in the number of events held in the current period, as one event that was held in the fourth quarter of 2022 took place in the third quarter of 2023. Accordingly, during the fourth quarter of 2023, we will hold one less event as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.
Event segment expenses increased 19% during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the prior year period, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, expenses were consistent with the prior period. The increase in expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in the number of events in the current period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations primarily through funds generated from operations. Research revenues, which constituted approximately 69% of our revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, are generally renewable annually and are typically payable in advance. We generated cash from operating activities of $9.8 million and $37.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The $28.0 million decrease in cash provided from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to a $19.7 million decrease in net income, the timing of certain benefit payments, and an increase in income tax payments.
29
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we generated cash from investing activities of $6.3 million primarily from $10.2 million in net maturities of marketable investments partially offset by $3.9 million of purchases of property and equipment, primarily consisting of computer software. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we used cash in investing activities of $5.7 million primarily for $4.2 million for purchases of property and equipment, primarily consisting of computer software and equipment, and $1.7 million in net purchases of marketable investments.
We used $18.2 million of cash from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to $15.0 million of discretionary repayments of our revolving credit facility, $4.1 million for purchases of our common stock, and $2.6 million in taxes paid related to net share settlements of restricted stock units, partially offset by $3.5 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our stock-based incentive plans. We used $38.8 million of cash in financing activities during the nine months ended September 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 $1.3 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our stock-based incentive plans. As of September 30, 2023, our remaining stock repurchase authorization was approximately $70.9 million.
The Company has a credit facility that provides up to $150.0 million of revolving credit commitments. The credit facility has a balance of $35.0 million at September 30, 2023 and matures in December of 2026. The credit facility permits the Company to increase the revolving credit commitments in an aggregate principal amount up to $50.0 million, subject to approval by the administrative agent and certain customary terms and conditions.
The credit facility 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, our 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 September 30, 2023 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 8 years. As of September 30, 2023, remaining non-cancelable lease payments are due as follows: $4.0 million in 2023, $29.7 million within 2024 and 2025, $18.0 million within 2026 and 2027, and $8.8 million beyond 2027.
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 September 30, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable investments of $111.5 million. This balance includes $73.6 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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
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 September 30, 2023. Based upon their evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance as of that date.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements | 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, 2022. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 may not be indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2023, 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).
(1) Restricted cash consists of collateral required for leased office space. The short-term or long-term classification regarding the collateral for the leased office space is determined in accordance with the expiration of the underlying leases. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The amendments in this update defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The amendments in this update apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The standard has not impacted the Company’s financial position or results of operations, and will not have an impact in the future as the Company no longer has any financial instruments that reference LIBOR. |

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | 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. The Company performed its annual impairment testing as of November 30, 2022 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 September 30, 2023, there were no events or circumstances that required an interim impairment test. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023, the Company had no accumulated goodwill impairment losses. Approximately $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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Debt | Note 4 — Debt The Company has a credit facility that provides up to $150.0 million of revolving credit commitments and matures in December of 2026. The credit facility includes an expansion feature that permits the Company to increase the revolving credit commitments in an aggregate principal amount up to $50.0 million, subject to approval by the administrative agent and certain customary terms and conditions. The credit facility 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 September 30, 2023. The Company may voluntarily prepay revolving loans under the credit facility at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty. No interim amortization payments are required to be made under the credit facility. The credit facility provides that once LIBOR ceases to exist in 2023, the benchmark rate for the loans outstanding will automatically transfer from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). In April 2023, the Company executed a second amendment to the credit facility to facilitate the conversion from LIBOR to SOFR and to set the base interest rate at SOFR plus 10 basis points. Up to $5.0 million of the 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.

Leases | 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 in 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 in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are not material. The components of lease expense were as follows (in thousands):
Additional lease information is summarized in the following table (in thousands, except lease term and discount rate):
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable leases and estimated future sublease cash receipts from non-cancelable arrangements as of September 30, 2023 are as follows (in thousands):

(1) Included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s leases do not contain residual value guarantees, material restrictions, or covenants. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded ROU asset impairments of $0.8 million related to closing one floor of its offices located in San Francisco and one other smaller office location. The impairments are included in restructuring and related costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of the impairments, the ROU assets were required to be recorded at their estimated fair values as Level 3 non-financial assets. The fair values of the asset groups were determined using a discounted cash flow model, which required the use of estimates, including projected cash flows for the related assets, the selection of a discount rate used in the model, and regional real estate industry data. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Revenue and Related Matters | Note 6 – Revenue and Related Matters Disaggregated Revenue The Company disaggregates revenue as set forth in the following tables (in thousands): Revenue by Geography
(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 September 30, 2023 or 2022. 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 invoiced for annual periods, 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. Deferred Revenue The Company refers to contract liabilities as deferred revenue in 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 September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $27.9 million and $31.9 million of revenue, respectively, related to its deferred revenue balances at the beginning of each such period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $153.8 million and $171.2 million of revenue, respectively, related to its deferred revenue balance at January 1 of each such period.
Approximately $338.9 million of revenue is expected to be recognized during the next 24 months from remaining performance obligations as of September 30, 2023. Reserves for Credit Losses The allowance for expected credit losses on accounts receivable for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is summarized as follows (in thousands):
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 in 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 September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $9.2 million and $10.4 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to deferred commissions for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $28.3 million and $32.2 million, respectively. The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred commissions at each balance sheet date and there were no impairments recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Derivatives and Hedging | Note 7 — Derivatives and Hedging Interest Rate Swap During 2019, the Company entered into a single interest rate swap contract that matured on December 31, 2022, with an initial notional amount of $95.0 million. The Company paid a base fixed rate of 1.65275% and in return received the greater of: (1) 1-month LIBOR, rounded up to the nearest of a percent, or (2) 0.00%. The swap was used to mitigate the cash flow risk associated with changes in interest rates on the Company’s variable rate debt (refer to Note 4 – Debt). The Company accounted for this 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. The swap had been designated and accounted for as a cash flow hedge of the forecasted interest payments on the Company’s debt. The swap was considered to be a highly effective hedge of the designated interest rate risk for the entire contract period and changes in the fair value of the swap were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Foreign Currency Forwards The Company enters into a limited number of 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, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations because the Company does not designate these contracts as hedges for accounting purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into nine foreign currency forward exchange contracts, all of which settled by September 30, 2023. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023, there is no amount recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these contracts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company entered into eleven foreign currency forward exchange contracts, all of which settled by September 30, 2022. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2022, there is no amount recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these contracts. 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 Operations for the derivative contracts for the periods indicated (in thousands):
(1) Consists of interest expense from the interest rate swap contract. (2) Consists of net realized gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value Measurements | Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements The carrying amounts reflected in 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 and marketable investments. 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):
(1) Included in cash and cash equivalents in 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 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 assets and liabilities. |

It is the Company's policy to record accruals for legal contingencies to the extent that it has concluded that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, and to expense costs associated with loss contingencies, including any related legal fees, as they are incurred. The Company reviews its loss contingencies at least quarterly and adjusts its accruals and/or disclosures to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, or other new information, as deemed necessary. Once established, a provision may change in the future due to new developments or changes in circumstances and could increase or decrease the Company’s earnings in the period that the changes are made. Following an April 2023 mediation in a wage-related matter that resulted in a settlement agreement subject to court approval, the Company accrued $4.8 million of expense in the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that is classified in general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses in connection with its current legal proceedings and claims and intends to vigorously contest each of them. Regardless of the outcome, legal proceedings and claims can have a material adverse effect on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. In the opinion of the Company's management, based upon information currently available to the Company, while the outcome of these legal proceedings and claims is uncertain, the likely results of these legal proceedings and claims are not expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows, although the effect could be material to the Company's consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows for any interim reporting period. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The amendments in this update defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The amendments in this update apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The standard has not impacted the Company’s financial position or results of operations, and will not have an impact in the future as the Company no longer has any financial instruments that reference LIBOR. |
