NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2012 is consistent with the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012 (included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2013).

2. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured at tax rates that will be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was 40.7% and 40.1%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate primarily reflects the statutory corporate income tax rate, the net effect of state taxes, and the effect of various permanent tax differences.

3. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company maintains two stock incentive plans. The Company accounts for its stock based compensation plans using the fair-value based method for costs related to share-based payments, including stock options and restricted share units (RSUs). During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued 77,750 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $21.70 per share, measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company issued 69,950 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $23.00 per share, measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.

Total stock based compensation expense recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, which is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income, is as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation and amortization)	$	22	$	11	$	39	$	21
Product development		46		36		79		71
Sales and marketing		43		40		79		77
Other general and administrative		289		212		513		372
Total stock based compensation expense	$	400	$	299	$	710	$	541

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares, composed of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and restricted share units subject to vesting are included in diluted earnings per share only to the extent these shares are dilutive. Common equivalent shares are dilutive when the average market price during the period exceeds the exercise price of the underlying shares. The total number of common equivalent shares excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share, due to their anti-dilutive effect, was approximately 0.1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company does not consider any of its marketable securities to be other than temporarily impaired. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not reclassify any items out of accumulated other comprehensive income to net income.

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements that the Company intends to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The Company cautions that forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and subject to risks and uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions during the preparation of our financial statements. We believe the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected.

9

The accounting policies and estimates that we believe are the most critical in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

• Revenue recognition

• Accounting for income taxes

• Software development costs

• Goodwill, intangibles, and other long-lived assets

• Allowance for doubtful accounts

• Stock based compensation

In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by US GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas where management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2012 Form 10-K, which contains additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures required by US GAAP. There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those reported in our 2012 Form 10-K.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2012

Revenues, net. Revenues increased approximately $6.1 million, or 23.5%, to $31.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $25.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Revenues for 2013 consisted of $25.1 million, or 79% of total revenue, for HealthStream Learning & Talent Management and $6.8 million, or 21% of total revenue, for HealthStream Research. In 2012, revenues consisted of $19.3 million, or 75% of total revenue, for HealthStream Learning & Talent Management and $6.5 million, or 25% of total revenue, for HealthStream Research.

Revenues for HealthStream Learning & Talent Management increased $5.8 million, or 30.2%, over the second quarter of 2012. Revenues from our Internet-based subscription learning and talent management products increased by $5.0 million, or 28.3%, over the prior year second quarter due to a higher number of subscribers and more courseware consumption by subscribers. Revenues for 2013 were positively influenced by courseware subscriptions associated with International Classification of Diseases, 10^th Edition (ICD-10) training. Our subscriber base increased to 3.12 million fully-implemented subscribers and 3.26 million contracted subscribers at June 30, 2013 compared to 2.78 million fully-implemented subscribers and 2.91 million contracted subscribers at June 30, 2012. Revenues from SimVentures, our collaborative arrangement with Laerdal Medical, increased by $410,000, due, in part, to the fulfillment of backorders of a recently upgraded product, and approximated $802,000 during the second quarter of 2013 compared to $392,000 during the second quarter of 2012. Revenues from our credentialing software product (which was acquired through the Sy.Med Development, Inc. acquisition in October 2012 and is not an internet-based product) contributed $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2013. Revenues from project-based services decreased by $636,000 compared to the prior year second quarter due to the completion of a large content development project.

Revenues for HealthStream Research increased $257,000, or 3.9%, over the second quarter of 2012. Revenues from Patient Insights™ surveys, our survey research product that generates recurring revenues, increased by $606,000, or 12.8%, over the prior year second quarter. Revenues from other surveys, which are conducted on annual or bi-annual cycles, decreased $349,000, or 19.2%, compared to the prior year second quarter.

Cost of Revenues (excluding depreciation and amortization). Cost of revenues increased approximately $2.7 million, or 26.6%, to $12.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was 40.3% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 39.3% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Cost of revenues for HealthStream Learning & Talent Management increased approximately $2.3 million to $9.3 million and approximated 36.9% and 36.4% of revenues for HealthStream Learning & Talent Management for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase is primarily associated with increased royalties paid by us resulting from growth in courseware subscription revenues and increased personnel costs, but was partially offset by lower costs associated with project-based services. Cost of revenues for HealthStream Research increased approximately $450,000 to $3.6 million and approximated 52.9% and 48.1% of revenues for HealthStream Research for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in both amount and as a percentage of revenue is primarily the result of additional costs associated with the growth in patient survey volume over the prior year second quarter. In addition, the decline in other survey revenues contributed to the increase as a percentage of revenue.

Product Development. Product development expenses increased approximately $596,000, or 27.3%, to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Product development expenses as a percentage of revenues were 8.7% and 8.4% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Product development expenses for HealthStream Learning & Talent Management increased approximately $665,000 and approximated 9.7% and 9.1% of revenues for HealthStream Learning & Talent Management for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase is due to additional personnel expenses associated with the maintenance of our platform and new product development initiatives. Product development expenses for HealthStream Research decreased approximately $69,000 and approximated 5.2% and 6.4% of revenues for HealthStream Research for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This expense decrease was due to lower personnel expenses.

10

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses, including personnel costs, increased approximately $772,000, or 16.5%, to $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Sales and marketing expenses were 17.1% and 18.1% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

This increase was associated with additional personnel and related expenses and increased commissions associated with higher sales performance compared to the prior year second quarter. Sales and marketing expenses for HealthStream Research decreased approximately $17,000, and approximated 20.5% and 21.6% of revenues for HealthStream Research for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Other General and Administrative Expenses. Other general and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.6 million, or 50.5%, to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Other general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 15.1% and 12.4% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Other general and administrative expenses for HealthStream Learning & Talent Management increased $425,000 over the prior year second quarter primarily due to additional personnel, rent, and other support costs, while other general and administrative expenses for HealthStream Research decreased $13,000 compared to the prior year second quarter. The unallocated corporate portion of other general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million over the prior year second quarter, primarily associated with additional personnel, professional fees, software maintenance renewal fees, taxes, contingent earn-out accruals associated with prior business combinations, and other general expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $325,000, or 20.7%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase primarily resulted from amortization of intangible assets within HealthStream Learning & Talent Management and higher depreciation expense associated with leasehold improvements to our Nashville, Tennessee office space.

Income Tax Provision. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The Company’s effective tax rate was 41.4% for the second quarter of 2013 compared to 40.3% for the second quarter of 2012.

Net Income. Net income approximated $2.4 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Earnings per diluted share were $0.09 per share for both the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Adjusted EBITDA (which we define as net income before interest, income taxes, stock based compensation, and depreciation and amortization) increased by 8.0% to approximately $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This improvement is consistent with the factors mentioned above. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for our reconciliation of this calculation to measures under US GAAP.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

11

Cost of Revenues (excluding depreciation and amortization). Cost of revenues increased approximately $5.7 million, or 28.6%, to $25.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was 41.2% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 39.9% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Cost of revenues for HealthStream Learning & Talent Management increased approximately $4.4 million to $17.8 million and approximated 36.9% and 36.0% of revenues for HealthStream Learning & Talent Management for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase is primarily associated with increased royalties paid by us resulting from growth in courseware subscription revenues and increased personnel costs, but was partially offset by lower costs associated with project-based services. Cost of revenues for HealthStream Research increased approximately $1.2 million to $7.6 million and approximated 57.0% and 51.3% of revenues for HealthStream Research for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in both amount and as a percentage of revenue is primarily the result of additional costs associated with the growth in patient survey volume over the prior year. In addition, the decline in other survey revenues contributed to the increase as a percentage of revenue.

Product Development. Product development expenses increased approximately $1.3 million, or 32.9%, to $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Product development expenses as a percentage of revenues were 8.7 % and 8.2% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Product development expenses for HealthStream Learning & Talent Management increased approximately $1.4 million and approximated 9.7% and 8.7% of revenues for HealthStream Learning & Talent Management for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase is due to additional personnel expenses associated with the maintenance of our platform and new product development initiatives. Product development expenses for HealthStream Research decreased approximately $121,000 and approximated 5.2 % and 6.6% of revenues for HealthStream Research for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This expense decrease was due to lower personnel expenses.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses, including personnel costs, increased approximately $436,000, or 4.3%, to $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Sales and marketing expenses were 17.3% and 20.6% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in amount was primarily due to additional personnel and related expenses and increased commissions associated with higher sales performance compared to the prior year. These expense increases were partially offset by a reduction of expenses associated with the timing of our customer Summit, which was held in the first quarter of 2012, but is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2013. Sales and marketing expenses for 2012 included approximately $870,000 of expenses associated with Summit.

Sales and marketing expenses for HealthStream Learning & Talent Management increased $595,000 and approximated 16.2% and 19.5% of revenues for HealthStream Learning & Talent Management for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This increase was associated with additional personnel and related expenses and increased commissions associated with higher sales performance compared to the prior year, but was partially offset by the timing of our customer Summit. Sales and marketing expenses for HealthStream Research decreased approximately $107,000, and approximated 20.0% and 22.3% of revenues for HealthStream Research for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The expense decrease was primarily due to the costs associated with our customer Summit, but was partially offset by increased commissions.

Other General and Administrative Expenses. Other general and administrative expenses increased approximately $3.1 million, or 51.0%, to $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Other general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 14.8% and 12.2% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Other general and administrative expenses for HealthStream Learning & Talent Management increased $793,000 over the prior year primarily due to additional personnel, rent, and other support costs, while other general and administrative expenses for HealthStream Research decreased $26,000 compared to the prior year. The unallocated corporate portion of other general and administrative expenses increased $2.3 million over the prior year, primarily associated with additional personnel, software maintenance renewal fees, professional fees, taxes, contingent earn-out accruals associated with prior business combinations, and other general expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $667,000, or 21.5%, to $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase primarily resulted from amortization of intangible assets within HealthStream Learning & Talent Management and higher depreciation expense associated with capital expenditures and leasehold improvements to our Nashville, Tennessee office space.

Other Income, Net. Other income, net was approximately $75,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $45,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The improvement over the prior year is associated with higher interest income from investments in marketable securities.

This improvement is consistent with the factors mentioned above. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for our reconciliation of this calculation to measures under US GAAP.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP revenue and adjusted EBITDA, which are used by management in analyzing its financial results and ongoing operational performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance which are prepared in accordance with US GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

In order to better assess the Company’s financial results, management believes that adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of the Company because adjusted EBITDA reflects net income adjusted for non-cash and non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by many investors and securities analysts to assess the Company’s results from current operations. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as a measure of financial performance under US GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with US GAAP, it is susceptible to varying calculations. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The Company understands that, although adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluation of companies, this measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company’s results as reported under US GAAP. For example, adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; it does not reflect non-cash components of employee compensation; it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and due to the Company’s utilization of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards in 2012 and 2013, actual cash income tax payments have been significantly less than the tax provision recorded in accordance with US GAAP, and income tax payments will continue to be less than the income tax provision until our existing federal and state net operating loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or have expired.

Management compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using adjusted EBITDA through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, and reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable US GAAP measure.

In order to provide more accurate trends and comparisons of the Company’s revenues, operating income, and net income, management believes that adding back the deferred revenue write-down associated with fair value accounting for acquired businesses provides a better indication of the ongoing performance of the Company. The revenue for the acquired contracts is deferred and typically recognized over a one year period, so our US GAAP revenues for the one year period after the acquisition will not reflect the full amount of revenues that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $11.0 million and $8.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The number of days sales outstanding (DSO) was 63 days for the second quarter of 2013 compared to 65 days for the second quarter of 2012. The Company calculates DSO by dividing the average accounts receivable balance, excluding unbilled and other receivables, by average daily revenues for the quarter. The Company’s primary sources of cash were receipts generated from the sales of our products and services. The primary uses of cash to fund operations included personnel expenses, sales commissions, royalty payments, payments for contract labor and other direct expenses associated with delivery of our products and services, and general corporate expenses.

Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $721,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 while $59.2 million of cash was used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012. During 2013, the Company purchased $51.5 million of marketable securities, spent $2.0 million for capitalized software development, and purchased $1.2 million of property and equipment. These uses of cash were partially offset by maturities of marketable securities of $55.9 million. During 2012, the Company purchased $72.3 million of marketable securities, utilized $2.9 million (net of cash acquired) to acquire Decision Critical, Inc. (DCI), spent $2.0 million for capitalized software development, and purchased $2.0 million of property and equipment. These uses of cash were partially offset by maturities of marketable securities of $20.0 million.

Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.5 million and $722,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The primary source of cash from financing activities for 2013 and 2012 resulted from proceeds associated with the exercise of stock options.

Revenues increased and operating income improved over the prior year period, and our balance sheet reflects positive working capital of $89.8 million at June 30, 2013 compared to $83.3 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in working capital was primarily due to the cash generated from operations and increases in accounts receivable balances. The Company’s primary source of liquidity is $101.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company also has a $20.0 million revolving credit facility loan agreement, all of which was available at June 30, 2013.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs for working capital, new product development and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Over the past eight years, we have utilized our federal and state net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income. We anticipate our remaining net operating loss carryforwards will become fully utilized within the next 12 to 18 months. Our actual tax payments may increase significantly once the net operating loss carryforwards are fully utilized. As part of our growth strategy, we review possible acquisitions that complement our products and services. We anticipate that future acquisitions, if any, would be effected through a combination of stock and cash consideration. The issuance of our stock as consideration for an acquisition could have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and could adversely affect our stock price. Because we have no material debt or outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, our balance sheet is unleveraged. Our revolving credit facility contains financial covenants and availability calculations designed to set a maximum

14

leverage ratio of outstanding debt to equity. Therefore, if we were to borrow against our revolving credit facility, our debt capacity would be dependent on the covenant values at the time of borrowing. As of June 30, 2013, we believe we were in compliance with all covenants. The credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption, and we cannot provide assurances that if we need additional financing that it will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. Failure to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or raise additional capital when required in sufficient amounts and on terms acceptable to us could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. We do not have any foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had no outstanding debt. We may become subject to interest rate market risk associated with any future borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The interest rate under the revolving credit facility is based on 30 Day LIBOR plus a margin of either 175 or 200 basis points determined in accordance with a pricing grid. We are exposed to market risk with respect to our cash and investment balances, which approximated $101.4 million at June 30, 2013. Assuming a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates, interest income from cash and investments would decrease on an annualized basis by approximately $49,000.

The Company’s investment policy and strategy is focused on investing in highly rated securities, with the objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. The Company’s policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any single issuer and sets limits on the average portfolio maturity.

The above market risk discussion and the estimated amounts presented are forward-looking statements of market risk assuming the occurrence of certain adverse market conditions. Actual results in the future may differ materially from those projected as a result of actual developments in the market.

Basis of Presentation

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2012 is consistent with the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012 (included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2013).

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares, composed of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and restricted share units subject to vesting are included in diluted earnings per share only to the extent these shares are dilutive. Common equivalent shares are dilutive when the average market price during the period exceeds the exercise price of the underlying shares. The total number of common equivalent shares excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share, due to their anti-dilutive effect, was approximately 0.1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands, except per share data):

Income Taxes

2. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured at tax rates that will be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was 40.7% and 40.1%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate primarily reflects the statutory corporate income tax rate, the net effect of state taxes, and the effect of various permanent tax differences.
