Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the section titled “Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” in Part I, Item 2, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements consist of, among other things, trend analyses, statements regarding future events, future financial performance, our anticipated growth, the effect of general economic and market conditions, our business strategy and our plan to build and grow our business, our operating results, our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and technologies, the effect of foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations on our financial results, the impact of expensing stock-based compensation, the sufficiency of our capital resources, our ability to meet our ongoing debt and obligations as they become due, and potential litigation involving us, all of which are based on current expectations, estimates, and forecasts, and the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “aims,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “believes,” “estimates,” “seeks,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are also intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations expressed in the report include: general economic risks; lengthy sales and implementation cycles, particularly in larger organizations; uncertainty regarding increased business and renewals from existing customers; continued success in sales growth; management of integration of recently acquired companies and other risks associated with acquisitions; the ability to attract and retain key personnel; risks associated with successful implementation of multiple integrated software products; risks related to our dividend policy and stock repurchase program, including potential limitations on our ability to grow and the possibility that we might discontinue payment of dividends; risks relating to restrictions imposed by our credit facility; risks associated with management of growth; technological changes that make our products and services less competitive; and the other risk factors set forth from time to time in our SEC filings. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those summarized under Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and our quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent our management's beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we do not intend, and undertake no obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These consolidated statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to state fairly the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, or any other future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations for interim reporting of the SEC. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and other forms filed with the SEC from time to time.
In order to provide comparability between periods presented, amortization of software development costs and amortization of deferred financing costs and discount have been separated from other non-cash adjustments in the previously reported consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to the consolidated statement of cash flow presentation of the current period. After this change in presentation, amounts related to the amortization of software development costs are included in depreciation and amortization and amounts related to the amortization of deferred financing costs and discount are presented separately within cash flows from operating activities.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Blackbaud, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we reconsider and evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those that impact revenue recognition, long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets and goodwill, stock-based compensation, the provision for income taxes, capitalization of software development costs, our allowances for sales returns and doubtful accounts, deferred sales commissions and professional services costs, the valuation of derivative instruments, our accounting for business combinations and loss contingencies. Changes in the facts or circumstances underlying these estimates could result in material changes and actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Revenue recognition
Our revenue is primarily generated from the following sources: (i) charging for the use of our software products in a hosted environment; (ii) providing software maintenance and support services; (iii) providing professional services including implementation, training, consulting, analytic, hosting and other services; and (iv) selling perpetual licenses of our software products.
We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are met:
•Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
•The products or services have been delivered;
•The fee is fixed or determinable; and
•Collection of the resulting receivable is probable.
Determining whether and when these criteria have been met can require significant judgment and estimates. We deem acceptance of an agreement to be evidence of an arrangement. Delivery of our services occurs when the services have been performed. Delivery of our products occurs when the product is shipped or transmitted, and title and risk of loss have transferred to the customers. Our typical agreements do not include customer acceptance provisions; however, if acceptance provisions are provided, delivery is deemed to occur upon acceptance. We consider the fee to be fixed or determinable unless the fee is subject to refund or adjustment or is not payable within our standard payment terms. Payment terms greater than 90 days are considered to be beyond our customary payment terms. Collection is deemed probable if we expect that the customer will be able to pay amounts under the arrangement as they become due. If we determine that collection is not probable, we defer revenue recognition until collection. Revenue is recognized net of sales returns and allowances.
We follow guidance provided in ASC 605-45, Principal Agent Considerations, which states that determining whether a company should recognize revenue based on the gross amount billed to a customer or the net amount retained is a matter of judgment that depends on the facts and circumstances of the arrangement and that certain factors should be considered in the evaluation.
Subscriptions
We provide hosting services to customers who have purchased perpetual rights to certain of our software products (“hosting services”). Revenue from hosting services, as well as data enrichment services, data management services and online training programs, is recognized ratably beginning on the activation date over the term of the agreement, which generally ranges from one to three years. Any related set-up fees are recognized ratably over the estimated period that the customer benefits from the related hosting service. The estimated period of benefit is evaluated on an annual basis using historical customer retention information by product or service.
We make certain of our software products available for use in hosted application arrangements without licensing perpetual rights to the software (“hosted applications”). Revenue from hosted applications is recognized ratably beginning on the activation date over the term of the agreement, which generally ranges from one to three years. Any revenue related to upfront activation or set-up fees is deferred and recognized ratably over the estimated period that the customer benefits from the related hosted application. Direct and incremental costs related to upfront activation or set-up activities for hosted applications are capitalized until the hosted application is deployed and in use, and then expensed ratably over the estimated period that the customer benefits from the related hosted application.
For arrangements that have multiple elements and do not include software licenses, we allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of the arrangement to those elements that qualify as separate units of accounting. The arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on relative selling price method in accordance with the selling price hierarchy, which includes: (i) vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value if available; (ii) third-party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available; and (iii) best estimate of selling price (“BESP”) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. In general, we use VSOE to allocate the selling price to subscription and service deliverables.

We offer certain payment processing services with the assistance of third-party vendors. In general, when we are the principal in a transaction based on the predominant weighting of factors identified in ASC 605-45, we record the revenue and related costs on a gross basis. Otherwise, we net the cost of revenue associated with the service against the gross amount billed to the customer and record the net amount as revenue.
Revenue from transaction processing services is recognized when the service is provided and the amounts are determinable. Revenue directly associated with processing donations for customers are included in subscriptions revenue.
License fees
We sell perpetual software licenses with maintenance, varying levels of professional services and, in certain instances, with hosting services. We allocate revenue to each of the elements in these arrangements using the residual method under which we first allocate revenue to the undelivered elements, typically the non-software license components, based on VSOE of fair value of the various elements. We determine VSOE of fair value of the various elements using different methods. VSOE of fair value for maintenance services associated with software licenses is based upon renewal rates stated in the agreements with customers, which demonstrate a consistent relationship of maintenance pricing as a percentage of the contractual license fee. VSOE of fair value of professional services and other products and services is based on the average selling price of these same products and services to other customers when sold on a stand-alone basis. Any remaining revenue is allocated to the delivered elements, which is normally the software license in the arrangement. In general, revenue is recognized for software licenses upon delivery to our customers.
When a software license is sold with software customization services, generally the services are to provide the customer assistance in creating special reports and other enhancements that will improve operational efficiency and/or help to support business process improvements. These services are generally not essential to the functionality of the software and the related revenues are recognized either as the services are delivered or upon completion. However, when software customization services are considered essential to the functionality of the software, we recognize revenue for both the software license and the services using the percentage-of-completion method.
Services
We generally bill consulting, installation and implementation services based on hourly rates plus reimbursable travel-related expenses. Revenue is recognized for these services over the period the services are delivered.
We recognize analytic services revenue from donor prospect research engagements, the sale of lists of potential donors, benchmarking studies and data modeling service engagements upon delivery. In arrangements where we provide customers the right to updates to the lists during the contract period, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period.
We sell training at a fixed rate for each specific class at a per attendee price or at a packaged price for several attendees, and recognize the related revenue upon the customer attending and completing training. Additionally, we sell fixed-rate programs, which permit customers to attend unlimited training over a specified contract period, typically one year, subject to certain restrictions, and revenue in those cases is recognized ratably over the contract period.
Maintenance
We recognize revenue from maintenance services ratably over the contract term, typically one year. Maintenance contracts are at rates that vary according to the level of the maintenance program associated with the software product and are generally renewable annually. Maintenance contracts may also include the right to unspecified product upgrades on an if-and-when available basis. Certain support services are sold in prepaid units of time and recognized as revenue upon their usage.
Deferred revenue
To the extent that our customers are billed for the above described services in advance of delivery, we record such amounts in deferred revenue.

Fair value measurements
We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including derivative instruments. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received upon purchase of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
| |
• | Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; |
| |
• | Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and |
| |
• | Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. |
Our financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety within the hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to fair value measurement. Changes to a financial asset's or liability's level within the fair value hierarchy are determined as of the end of a reporting period. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2014, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. Under ASU 2013-11, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. An entity should apply ASU 2014-09 either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application. We expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will impact our consolidated financial statements. We are currently evaluating implementation methods and the extent of the impact that implementation of this standard will have upon adoption.
3. Business combinations
WhippleHill
On June 16, 2014, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of WhippleHill Communications, Inc. (“WhippleHill”), a privately held company based in New Hampshire, for $35.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the stock purchase agreement. WhippleHill is a leading provider of cloud-based solutions designed exclusively to serve K12 private schools. The acquisition of WhippleHill expanded our offerings in the K12 technology sector. The operating results of WhippleHill have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. From the date of acquisition through September 30, 2014, WhippleHill's total revenue was $2.5 million and cost of revenue was $1.6 million. Acquisition-related costs of $0.1 million, which primarily consisted of legal and financial advisory services, were expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

We recorded $22.2 million of finite-lived intangible assets, $9.6 million of goodwill ($9.3 million of which is deductible for income tax purposes) and $3.2 million of net tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed associated with this acquisition based on our preliminary determination of estimated fair values. The estimated fair values of the finite-lived intangible assets were based on variations of the income approach which estimates fair value based upon the present value of cash flows that the assets are expected to generate and which included the relief-from-royalty method, incremental cash flow method and excess earnings method. Included in net tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was $5.1 million of acquired accounts receivable, for which fair value was estimated to approximate the contractual value. The assets and liabilities recorded for the acquisition of WhippleHill were based on preliminary valuations and the estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. The estimated goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the opportunities for expected synergies from combining operations and the assembled workforce of WhippleHill, all of which was assigned to our General Markets Business Unit reporting segment. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded measurement period adjustments to the estimated fair values of the acquired technology and customer relationships assets based on our updated assumptions. These adjustments resulted in an increase in acquired technology and customer relationships of $2.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively, with the corresponding offsets to estimated goodwill.
The acquisition resulted in the identification of the following identifiable finite-lived intangible assets: |
| | | | | |
| Intangible assets acquired |
| | Weighted average amortization period |
| (in thousands) |
| | (in years) |
Customer relationships | $ | 11,300 |

| | 6 |
Trade names | 2,300 |
| | 8 |
Non-compete agreements | 100 |
| | 3 |
| $ | 22,200 |
| | |
Customer relationships are being amortized on an accelerated basis. Acquired technology, trade names and non-compete agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis.
We determined that the WhippleHill acquisition was a non-material business combination. As such, pro forma disclosures are not required and are not presented.
4. Earnings per share
We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the assumed exercise, settlement and vesting of all dilutive securities using the “treasury stock method” except when the effect is anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, settlement of stock appreciation rights and vesting of restricted stock awards and units.

(1) | The fair value of our interest rate swaps was based on model-driven valuations using LIBOR rates, which are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Accordingly, our interest rate swaps are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |

We believe the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, donor restricted cash, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and donations payable approximate their fair values at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these instruments.
We believe the carrying amount of our debt approximates its fair value at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, as the debt bears interest rates that approximate market value. As LIBOR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals, it is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Non-recurring fair value measurements
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include intangible assets and goodwill which are recognized at fair value during the period in which an acquisition is completed, from updated estimates and assumptions during the measurement period, or when they are considered to be impaired. These non-recurring fair value measurements, primarily for intangible assets acquired, were based on Level 3 unobservable inputs. In the event of an impairment, we determine the fair value of the goodwill and intangible assets using a discounted cash flow approach, which contains significant unobservable inputs and therefore is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs in the analysis generally include future cash flow projections and a discount rate.
There were no non-recurring fair value adjustments recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 or 2013, except for certain business combination accounting adjustments to the initial fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date from updated estimates and assumptions during the measurement period. The measurement period may be up to one year from the acquisition date. We record any measurement period adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.
6. Goodwill and other intangible assets

We were previously party to a $325.0 million five-year credit facility entered into during February 2012. The credit facility included: a dollar and a designated currency revolving credit facility with sublimits for letters of credit and swingline loans (the “2012 Revolving Facility”) and a delayed draw term loan (the “2012 Term Loan”) together, (the “2012 Credit Facility”).
2014 Refinancing
In February 2014, we entered into a five-year $325.0 million credit facility (the “2014 Credit Facility”) and drew $175.0 million on a term loan upon closing, which was used to repay all amounts outstanding under the 2012 Credit Facility.
The 2014 Credit Facility includes the following facilities: (i) a dollar and a designated currency revolving credit facility with sublimits for letters of credit and swingline loans (the “2014 Revolving Facility”) and (ii) a term loan facility (the “2014 Term Loan”).
Certain participants of the 2012 Term Loan participated in the 2014 Term Loan and the change in the present value of our future cash flows to these participants under the 2012 Term Loan and under the 2014 Term Loan was less than 10%. Accordingly, we accounted for the refinancing event for these participants as a debt modification. Certain participants of the 2012 Term Loan did not participate in the 2014 Term Loan. Accordingly, we accounted for the refinancing event for these participants as a debt extinguishment. Certain participants of the 2012 Revolving Facility participated in the 2014 Revolving Facility and provided increased borrowing capacities. Accordingly, we accounted for the refinancing event for these participants as a debt modification. Certain participants of the 2012 Revolving Facility did not participate in the 2014 Revolving Facility. Accordingly, we accounted for the refinancing event for these participants as a debt extinguishment.
We recorded a $0.4 million loss on debt extinguishment related to the write-off of deferred financing costs for the portions of the 2012 Credit Facility considered to be extinguished. This loss was recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income within loss on debt extinguishment and termination of derivative instruments.
In connection with our entry into the 2014 Credit Facility, we paid $2.5 million in financing costs, of which $1.1 million were capitalized and, together with a portion of the unamortized deferred financing costs from the 2012 Credit Facility and prior facilities, are being amortized into interest expense over the term of the new facility using the effective interest method. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, deferred financing costs totaling $1.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively, were included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
Summary of the 2014 Credit Facility
The 2014 Credit Facility is secured by the stock and limited liability company interests of certain of our subsidiaries and is guaranteed by our material domestic subsidiaries.
Amounts borrowed under the dollar tranche revolving credit loans and term loan under the 2014 Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, (a) a base rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) one month LIBOR plus 1.00% (the “Base Rate”), in addition to a margin of 0.00% to 0.50%, or (b) LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.00% to 1.50%. Swingline loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus a margin of 0.00% to 0.50% or such other rate agreed to between the Swingline lender and us. Designated currency tranche revolving credit loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR rate for the applicable currency plus a margin of 1.00% to 1.50%. The exact amount of any margin depends on the nature of the loan (Base Rate or LIBOR) and our net leverage ratio (as defined in the 2014 Credit Facility).
We also pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the 2014 Revolving Facility from 0.15% to 0.225% per annum, depending on our net leverage ratio. At September 30, 2014, the commitment fee was 0.200%.
The term loan under the 2014 Credit Facility requires periodic principal payments. The balance of the term loan and any amounts drawn on the revolving credit loans are due upon maturity of the 2014 Credit Facility in February 2019. We evaluate the classification of our debt as current or non-current based on the required annual maturities of the 2014 Credit Facility.
The 2014 Credit Facility includes financial covenants related to the net leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio, as well as restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends and our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock. At September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with our debt covenants under the 2014 Credit Facility.

11. Derivative instruments
We use derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk. In February 2014, in connection with the refinancing of our debt, we terminated the two interest rate swap agreements associated with the 2012 Credit Facility. As part of the settlement of our swap liabilities, we recorded a loss of $0.6 million, which was recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income within loss on debt extinguishment and termination of derivative instruments and resulted in a recognized tax benefit of $0.2 million.
In March 2014, we entered into a new interest rate swap agreement, which effectively converts portions of our variable rate debt under the 2014 Credit Facility to a fixed rate for the term of the swap agreement. The initial notional value of the new swap agreement was $125.0 million with an effective date beginning in March 2014. In March 2017, the notional value of the swap agreement will decrease to $75.0 million for the remaining term through February 2018. We designated the swap agreement as a cash flow hedge at the inception of the contract.
The fair values of our derivative instruments were as follows as of: |

Our policy requires that derivatives used for hedging purposes be designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains or losses from the change in fair value measurement of our derivative instruments each reporting period and the related income tax expense or benefit. Changes in the fair value measurements of the derivative instruments and the related income tax expense or benefit are reflected as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the actual hedged expense is incurred or until the hedge is terminated at which point the unrealized gain (loss) is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to current earnings. There were no ineffective portions of our interest rate swap derivatives during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. See Note 15 for a summary of other changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component.
12. Commitments and contingencies
Leases
We lease our headquarters facility under a 15-year lease agreement which was entered into in October 2008, and has two five-year renewal options. The current annual base rent of the lease is $4.1 million, payable in equal monthly installments. The base rent escalates annually at a rate equal to the change in the consumer price index, as defined in the agreement, but not to exceed 5.5% in any year.
We have a lease for office space in Austin, Texas which terminates on September 30, 2023, and has two five-year renewal options. Under the terms of the lease, we will increase our leased space by approximately 20,000 square feet on July 31, 2016. The current annual base rent of the lease is $2.2 million. The base rent escalates annually between 2% and 4% based on the terms of the agreement. The rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the length of the lease term. At September 30, 2014, we had a standby letter of credit of $2.0 million for a security deposit for this lease.
We have provisions in our leases that entitle us to aggregate remaining leasehold improvement allowances of $5.6 million. These amounts are being recorded as a reduction to rent expense ratably over the terms of the leases. Rent expense was reduced related to these lease provisions by $0.2 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The leasehold improvement allowances have been included in the table of operating lease commitments below as a reduction in our lease commitments ratably over the then remaining terms of the leases. The timing of the reimbursements for the actual leasehold improvements may vary from the amounts reflected in the table below.
We have also received, and expect to receive through 2016, quarterly South Carolina state incentive payments as a result of locating our headquarters facility in Berkeley County, South Carolina. These amounts are recorded as a reduction of rent expense upon receipt and were $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1.7 million and $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Blackbaud, Inc.

Total rent expense was $2.3 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $6.9 million and $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
As of September 30, 2014, the future minimum lease commitments related to lease agreements, net of related lease incentives, were as follows:

Year ending December 31, | Operating |
|
(in thousands) | leases |

2014 – remaining | $ | 2,794 |

|
2018 | 10,338 |
|
Thereafter | 44,138 |
|
Total minimum lease payments | $ | 87,701 |
|
Other commitments
As discussed in Note 10 of these consolidated financial statements, the term loans under the 2014 Credit Facility require periodic principal payments. The balance of the term loans and any amounts drawn on the revolving credit loans are due upon maturity of the 2014 Credit Facility in February 2019.
We utilize third-party technology in conjunction with our products and services, with contractual arrangements varying in length from one to five years. In certain cases, these arrangements require a minimum annual purchase commitment. As of September 30, 2014, the remaining aggregate minimum purchase commitment under these arrangements was approximately $14.8 million through 2018. We incurred expense under these arrangements of $1.7 million and $5.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
Legal contingencies
We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We record an accrual for a contingency when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe the amount of potential liability with respect to these actions will have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
13. Income taxes
Our effective income tax rates including the effects of period-specific events, were:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended September 30, | | | Nine months ended September 30, | |
| 2014 |
| | 2013 |
| | 2014 |
| | 2013 |
|
Effective tax rate | 15.4 | % | | 43.0 | % | | 30.5 | % | | 41.7 | % |
The decrease in our effective income tax rates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same periods in 2013 was primarily due to discrete tax benefits of $1.6 million from statute of limitations expiration, $1.0 million from a reduction in the state income tax effective rate in the U.S., and an insignificant increase in certain foreign research credits. The decrease in the effective tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was also favorably impacted by a reduction in operating losses of foreign jurisdictions for which we have determined that a related valuation allowance is appropriate.
The decrease in our effective income tax rates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same periods in 2013 was partially offset by a decrease in the benefit from research and development credits. The U.S. federal and state research and development tax credits, which had previously expired on December 31, 2011, were reinstated as
Blackbaud, Inc.
Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued)
(Unaudited)
part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 enacted in January 2013. This legislation retroactively reinstated and extended the credits from the previous expiration date through December 31, 2013, resulting in a discrete tax benefit in the first quarter of 2013 of $1.9 million. No similar legislation providing an extension for prior period credits was in effect during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Our effective income tax rate may fluctuate quarterly as a result of factors, including transactions entered into, changes in the geographic distribution of our earnings or losses, our assessment of certain tax contingencies, valuation allowances, and changes in tax law in jurisdictions where we conduct business.
We have deferred tax assets for federal, state, and international net operating loss carryforwards and state tax credits. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards are subject to various Internal Revenue Code limitations and applicable state tax laws. A portion of the foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards and a portion of state tax credits have a valuation reserve due to the uncertainty of realizing such carryforwards and credits in the future.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefit that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate, was $2.5 million and $3.7 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. We recognize accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
14. Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation expense is allocated to cost of revenue and operating expenses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income based on where the associated employee’s compensation is recorded. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense:

Our chief operating decision maker is our chief executive officer, or CEO. The CEO reviews financial information presented on an operating segment basis for the purposes of making certain operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The CEO uses internal financial reports that provide segment revenues and operating income, excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, depreciation expense, research and development expense and certain corporate sales, marketing, general and administrative expenses. Currently, the CEO believes that the exclusion of these costs allows for a better understanding of the operating performance of the operating units and management of other operating expenses and cash needs. The CEO does not review any segment balance sheet information.

17. Restructuring
During 2012, in an effort to consolidate our operating locations, we decided not to renew our lease for office space in San Diego, CA, which matured on June 30, 2013. As a result, we initiated a plan to transition most of our operations based in San Diego, CA to our Austin, TX location, which we substantially completed in June 2013 when the lease matured. We incurred $0.1 million and $0.3 million in before-tax restructuring charges related to our San Diego office transition during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

(Unaudited)
In January 2013, we implemented a realignment of our workforce in response to changes in the nonprofit industry and global economy. The realignment included a reduction in workforce of approximately 135 positions. The cost associated with this realignment was substantially incurred during the first nine months of 2013. We incurred $3.2 million in before-tax restructuring charges related to the realignment of our workforce during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The charges incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2013 were insignificant.

MicroEdge acquisition
On October 1, 2014, we completed our acquisition of all of the outstanding equity, including all voting equity interests of MicroEdge Holdings, LLC (“MicroEdge”), pursuant to the purchase agreement dated August 30, 2014. MicroEdge is a provider of high-performance solutions that enable the worldwide giving community to organize, simplify and measure their acts of charitable giving. The acquisition of MicroEdge expands our offerings in the philanthropic giving sector with MicroEdge’s comprehensive technology solutions for grant-making, corporate social responsibility and foundation management. We acquired MicroEdge for an aggregate purchase price of $160 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the purchase agreement. As a result of the acquisition, MicroEdge has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. We will include the operating results of MicroEdge in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition within ECBU. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred $1.0 million of acquisition-related costs associated with the acquisition of MicroEdge, which were recorded in general and administrative expense. Due to the timing of the transaction, the initial accounting for this acquisition, including the measurement of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and goodwill, is not complete and is pending detailed analyses of the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.
We financed the acquisition of MicroEdge through cash on hand and borrowings under the 2014 Credit Facility. As previously disclosed, in February 2014, we entered into the 2014 Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $325 million, with a right to increase the revolving commitments and/or request additional term loans in a principal amount of up to $200 million. On October 1, 2014, we exercised our right, and certain lenders agreed, to increase the revolving credit commitments by $100 million such that currently and for the period commencing October 1, 2014, the aggregate revolving credit commitments are $250 million. The additional revolving credit commitments have the same terms as the existing revolving credit commitments.
On October 1, 2014, we drew down $140 million in revolving credit commitments under the 2014 Credit Facility to finance the acquisition of MicroEdge. Following the draw down, approximately $142 million was outstanding under the revolving credit commitments and approximately $108 million was available for future borrowings. Following the closing of the MicroEdge transaction on October 1, 2014, the principal amount outstanding on the term loan was approximately $173 million, resulting in a total amount outstanding on our letters of credit, revolving credit loans and term loan of approximately $315 million after the acquisition.
Entry into interest rate swap agreement
In October 2014, we entered into a new interest rate swap agreement, which effectively converts portions of our variable rate debt under the 2014 Credit Facility to a fixed rate for the term of the swap agreement. The initial notional value of the new swap agreement was $75.0 million with an effective date beginning in October 2014. In September 2015, the notional value of the swap agreement will decrease to $50.0 million for the remaining term through June 2016. We designated the swap agreement as a cash flow hedge at the inception of the contract.

Executive summary
We provide software and services for the nonprofit, charitable giving and education communities. Our offerings include a full spectrum of cloud-based and on-premise solutions, and related services for organizations of all sizes, including nonprofit fundraising and relationship management, marketing, advocacy, accounting, payments and analytics, as well as grant management, corporate social responsibility, eduction and other solutions. We continue to make investments in our product portfolio and go-to-market organization to ensure we are properly positioned to benefit from shifts in the market, including demand for our subscription-based offerings. As of September 30, 2014, we had more than 30,000 active customers distributed across multiple verticals within the nonprofit market including education, foundations, health and human services, religion, arts and cultural, public and societal benefits, environment and animal welfare, as well as international affairs.
We derive revenue from charging subscription fees for the use of our cloud-based solutions, selling perpetual licenses and providing a broad offering of services, including consulting, training, installation and implementation services, as well as ongoing customer support and maintenance. Furthermore, we derive revenue from providing hosting services, performing donor prospect research engagements, selling lists of potential donors, providing transaction and payment processing services, benchmarking studies and data modeling services. We have experienced growth in our payment processing services from the continued shift to online giving, further integration of these services to our existing product portfolio and the sale of these services to new and existing customers.
As a result of third-party contractual changes, certain of our subscriptions revenues and costs associated with our payment processing services are presented on a gross basis, whereas comparable revenues and costs are presented on a net basis in the prior year periods. As such, total revenue, total cost of revenue, subscriptions revenue and cost of subscriptions revenue for prior periods are not directly comparable, although gross profit, operating income and net income were unaffected by the prospective change, which became effective October 2013. An analysis of our historical financial statements for the four quarters and year ended December 31, 2013 can be found at www.blackbaud.com/investorrelations that is intended to assist with the evaluation of our performance in light of the change in presentation.
During the third quarter of 2014, we remained focused on our strategy for growth including accelerating organic revenue growth; accelerating subscriptions revenue growth from cloud-based solutions including further integration of our suite of solutions; expanding our total addressable market; optimizing our back-office infrastructure through the rollout of new internal systems and programs focused on operational excellence; and implementing a three-year margin improvement plan. We also continued to drive the integration of WhippleHill Communications, Inc.'s (“WhippleHill”) operations.
Total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased by approximately 13% and 12%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2013. When removing the impact attributable to the change in presentation referenced above and incremental revenue from WhippleHill, revenue increased 5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same periods in 2013. These increases were primarily the result of growth in demand for our cloud-based and hosted fundraising solutions as our business continues to shift towards subscription-based offerings. Increases in the volume of transactions for which we process payments as well as variable transactions associated with the use of our solutions to fundraise online added to the increases in subscriptions revenue.
Income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased by $4.5 million when compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease in income from operations was primarily attributable to the 2014 incremental operating investments targeted to drive the success of our four primary priorities: accelerating organic growth, optimizing our product portfolio, increasing recurring revenue and increasing operating efficiencies. Also contributing to the decrease in income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 were increases in stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses. The increase in stock-based compensation was primarily attributable to the

forfeiture of certain equity-based awards upon the departure of our former CEO in August 2013, the impact of which was included in the 2013 period. The increase in acquisition-related expenses was due to our acquisition of MicroEdge Holdings, LLC (“MicroEdge”), which was completed on October 1, 2014. These unfavorable impacts on income from operations were partially offset by an increase in demand for our subscription-based fundraising offerings, an increase in the volume of transactions for which we process payments and an increase in transaction-based usage revenue.
Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased by $1.9 million when compared to the same period in 2013. The increase in income from operations was primarily attributable to an increase in demand for our subscription-based fundraising offerings, an increase in the volume of transactions for which we process payments and an increase in transaction-based usage revenue. Also contributing to the increase in income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was a decrease in restructuring costs. These favorable impacts on income from operations were partially offset by the 2014 incremental operating investments targeted to drive the success of our growth strategy referenced above.
At September 30, 2014, our cash and cash equivalents were $54.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we generated $85.5 million in cash flow from operations, received $19.6 million in net proceeds from debt refinancing, used net cash of $32.6 million for the acquisition of WhippleHill, returned $16.6 million to stockholders by way of dividends and had cash outlays of $14.6 million for purchases of property and equipment and software development costs.
We plan to further increase our focus on subscription-based offerings and expand our payment processing and analytics services as we execute on our key growth initiatives and strengthen our leadership position, while achieving our targeted level of profitability. In the near term, we anticipate that there will continue to be an impact on our profitability as we invest in our product portfolio to meet demand for our subscription offerings and shift away from a perpetual license-based model, with upfront revenue recognition, to a subscription-based model, with recognition of revenue occurring ratably over the subscription term. In the near term, we also anticipate that there will continue to be an impact from our payment processing services on our overall gross margin percentage as growth in the volume of transactions where we provide payment processing services is expected to exceed the growth of certain other product and service offerings.
We also plan to continue to invest in our product, sales and marketing organizations and our back-office processes as well as the infrastructure that supports our subscription-based offerings and certain product development initiatives to achieve optimal scalability of our operations as we execute on our key growth initiatives.

(1) | Included in ECBU, GMBU and IBU revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $2.1 million, $4.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, attributable to the prospective change in presentation from net to gross for revenue and costs associated with certain payment processing services as a result of certain third-party arrangements that had changes in contractual terms effective October 2013. Included in ECBU, GMBU and IBU revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $6.8 million, $13.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, attributable to this same presentation change. |
| |
(2) | Included in GMBU revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $2.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively, attributable to the inclusion of WhippleHill. |
The increases in revenue for ECBU, GMBU and IBU during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same periods in 2013 were primarily attributable to growth in subscriptions revenue. The growth in subscriptions resulted from an increase in demand for our cloud-based and hosted fundraising offerings, an increase in the volume of transactions for which we process payments and an increase in usage-based transaction revenue. Also contributing to the growth in ECBU, GMBU and IBU revenue were increases in maintenance revenue primarily from new customers associated with new license agreements and increases in contracts with existing customers.
Target Analytics revenue increased during the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily as a result of an increase in demand for, and subsequent deliveries of, our donor prospect research services. Also contributing to the increase in Target Analytics revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2014 was the continued increase in demand for our subscription-based analytic service offerings. The growth in Target Analytics revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily the result of the trend of increased demand for our subscription-based analytic service offerings. We anticipate incremental growth in this area as demand continues to increase and as we continue to integrate these services into certain of our other subscription and service offerings.
