NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of DHI Group, Inc. (“DHI” or the “Company”) have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted and condensed pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal and recurring accruals) have been made to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year.

Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the condensed consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates during the six month period ended June 30, 2020, except as disclosed in Notes 6 and 8 relating to impairments to equity method investments and intangible assets.

2.    NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current "incurred loss" model with an "expected loss" model that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of a financial asset. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for Smaller Reporting Companies. The Company is evaluating the expected impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820), Disclosures Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. The new standard requires entities that are customers in cloud computing arrangements to defer implementation costs if they would be capitalized by the entity in software licensing arrangements under the internal-use software guidance. ASU No. 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those years. The amendments allow either a retrospective or prospective approach to all implementation costs incurred after adoption. The Company adopted this standard, effective January 1, 2020, under the prospective approach, and capitalized implementation costs are included in other assets on the Company's balance sheet.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating taxes during interim quarters and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes, specifies the timing for recognizing certain income tax effects of changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the expected impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

3.    REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized net of customer discounts ratably over the service period. Customer billings delivered in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the service period. The Company generates revenue from recruitment packages, advertising, classifieds, and virtual and live career fair and recruitment event booth rentals.

Disaggregation of revenue

Our brands serve various economic professions, such as technology and financial. The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by brand and includes a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30				Six Months Ended June 30
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Dice	$	20,489	$	23,215	$	42,974	$	46,361
ClearanceJobs	7,107		6,014		14,007		11,796
eFinancial Careers	6,188		8,130		13,436		16,322
Total	$	33,784	$	37,359	$	70,417	$	74,479

Contract Balances

The following table provides information about opening and closing balances of receivables and contract liabilities from contracts with customers as required under Topic 606 (in thousands):

	As of June 30, 2020		As of December 31, 2019
Receivables	$	18,119	$	21,158
Short-term contract liabilities (deferred revenue)	46,644		50,568
Long-term contract liabilities (deferred revenue)	525		1,058

We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; accounts receivable is recorded when customers are invoiced per the contractual billings schedules. As the Company's standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company elected the practical expedient, where applicable. As a result, the Company does not consider the effects of a significant financing component. Contract liabilities include customer billings delivered in advance of performance under the contract, and associated revenue is realized when services are rendered under the contract.

Receivables increase due to customer billings and decrease by cash collected from customers. Contract liabilities increase due to customer billings and are decreased as performance obligations are satisfied under the contracts.

The Company recognized the following revenues as a result of changes in the contract liability balances in the respective periods (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2020		June 30, 2019		June 30, 2020		June 30, 2019

4. SALE OF BUSINESSES

The Company sold the Hcareers business on May 22, 2018 for $16.5 million and incurred approximately $1.5 million in selling costs, with $1.7 million of the purchase price placed in escrow (recorded in prepaid and other current assets), to be released twelve months after the closing date, subject to the terms and conditions of the transaction agreement, including certain contingencies. Additionally, the Company recorded a receivable of $0.2 million related to working capital, subject to the terms and conditions of the transaction agreement. Net cash proceeds of $14.0 million were received on the date of sale of Hcareers. As a result of the sale, a $0.8 million loss was recognized in the second quarter of 2018. During the second quarter of 2019, the escrow of $1.7 million and working capital terms and related contingencies were finalized resulting in the Company recording an additional loss on sale of $0.5 million and receiving cash of $0.7 million from the escrow and $0.2 million from working capital.

The Company sold the RigLogix portion of the Rigzone business on February 20, 2018 for $4.2 million and incurred approximately $0.6 million in selling costs. $0.4 million of the purchase price was placed in escrow, which was released to the Company in the first quarter of 2019. As a result of the sale, a $4.6 million gain was recognized in the first quarter of 2018. The gain on sale exceeded net proceeds as liabilities transferred in the transaction exceeded assets, primarily due to deferred revenues of $1.2 million.

The Company sold the Health eCareers business on December 4, 2017 for $15.0 million and incurred approximately $0.6 million of selling costs. $1.5 million of the purchase price was placed in escrow, which was released to the Company in the second quarter of 2019.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The FASB ASC topic on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. As a basis for considering assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy is used, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and long-term debt approximate their fair values. The fair value of the long-term debt was estimated using present value techniques and market based interest rates and credit spreads. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on Level 2 inputs.

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets include investments (included in other assets), goodwill and intangible assets which resulted from prior acquisitions. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable. Such instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment.

6. INVESTMENTS

At January 1, 2018, the Company held preferred stock representing a 10.0% interest in the fully diluted shares of a leading tech skills assessment company. During 2018, the skills assessment company completed an additional equity offering, lowering DHI's total interest to 7.6%. The Company did not adjust the recorded value of the investment because the shares issued under the new share offering were not similar to the Company's share rights. As of December 31, 2019 it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the preferred stock as the shares are not traded. The investment was carried at its original cost of $2.0 million and was included in the other assets section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, based on the investment's historical cash burn rate, uncertainty of its ability to meet revenue and cash flow projections, current liquidity position, lack of access to additional capital, and impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined the value to be zero. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.0 million during the first quarter of 2020.

On January 31, 2018, the Company transferred a majority ownership of the BioSpace business to BioSpace management with zero proceeds received from the transfer, while retaining a 20% preferred share interest in the BioSpace business. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company sold its 20% interest in BioSpace to BioSpace management for $0.2 million. At the time of sale, the recorded value of the investment was zero. Accordingly, the Company recognized a $0.2 million gain on sale, which was included in interest expense and other on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Rigzone is a website dedicated to delivering online content, data, and career services in the oil and gas industry in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. Oil and gas companies, as well as companies that serve the energy industry, use Rigzone to find talent for roles such as petroleum engineers, sales professionals with energy industry expertise and skilled tradesmen. On August 31, 2018, the Company transferred a majority ownership of the Rigzone business to Rigzone management, while retaining a 40% common share interest, with zero proceeds received from the transfer. The Company has evaluated the 40% common share interest in the Rigzone business and has determined the investment meets the definition and criteria of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). The Company evaluated the VIE and determined that the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in the VIE, as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance. The common share interest is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over Rigzone. As accumulated earnings of the VIE have been approximately zero since the date of transfer, the investment is recorded at zero at June 30, 2020.

7.   LEASES

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), applying the modified retrospective transition.

The Company has operating leases for corporate office space and certain equipment. The leases have original terms from one year to eight years, some of which include options to renew the lease, and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. No leases include options to purchase the leased property. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We do not have any lease agreements with related parties.

Operating lease right-of-use "ROU" assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating ROU assets and liabilities commencing after January 1, 2019 are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When readily available, the Company uses the implicit rate in determining the present value of the lease payments. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement of the lease, including the lease term. Because the implicit rate in each lease is not available, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. All operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

8.   ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had an indefinite-lived acquired intangible asset of $31.8 million and $39.0 million, respectively, related to the Dice trademarks and brand name. The impairment test performed as of October 1, 2019 resulted in the fair value of the Dice trademarks and brand name exceeding the carrying value by 26%. During the first quarter of 2020, because of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on future earnings and cash flows for the Dice trademarks and brand name, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis. As a result of the analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $7.2 million during the first quarter of 2020. Revenue attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name exceeded the projections used in the March 31, 2020 analysis by 1% and operating income margin for the Company exceeded the same projections by 3 percentage points. Additionally, the Company believes those projections beyond June 30, 2020 remain the Company's best estimate. As a result, no impairment was recorded during the three month period ended June 30, 2020 nor during the six month period ended June 30, 2019.

Considering the recognition of the Dice brand, its long history, awareness in the talent acquisition and staffing services market, and the intended use, the remaining useful life of the Dice.com trademarks and brand name was determined to be indefinite. We determine whether the carrying value of recorded indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets is impaired on an annual basis or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. The impairment review process compares the fair value of the indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recorded.

The projections utilized in the March 31, 2020 analysis included a decline in revenues attributable to the Dice trademark and brand name for the year ending December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 and then increasing to rates approximating industry growth projections. The Company’s ability to achieve these revenue projections may be impacted by, among other things, uncertainty related to COVID-19, competition in the technology recruiting market, challenges in developing and introducing new products and product enhancements to the market and the Company’s ability to attribute value delivered to customers. Cash flows attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name are projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of the lower revenue, but partially offset by reductions to operating expenses. Operating expenses are projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, including a small operating margin reduction, and then increase at levels that allow for modest operating margin improvements. If future cash flows attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in a future period. In the March 31, 2020 analysis, the Company utilized a relief from royalty rate method to value the Dice trademarks and brand name using a royalty rate of 5.0% based on comparable industry studies and a discount rate of 17.5% compared to a royalty rate of 6.0% and a discount rate of 14.2% at October 1, 2019.

The determination of whether or not indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets have become impaired involves a significant level of judgment in the assumptions underlying the approach used to determine the value of the indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets. Fair values are determined using a profit allocation methodology which estimates the value of the trademark and brand name by capitalizing the profits saved because the company owns the asset. We consider factors such as historical performance, anticipated market conditions, operating expense trends and capital expenditure requirements. Changes in our strategy, uncertainty related to COVID-19, and/or changes in market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded amounts of intangible assets. If projections are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in the foreseeable future.

9.   GOODWILL

The following table shows the carrying amount of goodwill as of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 and the changes in goodwill for the six month period ended June 30, 2020 (in thousands):

Goodwill at December 31, 2019	$	156,059
Foreign currency translation adjustment	(3,977)
Goodwill at June 30, 2020	$	152,082

The amount of goodwill as of June 30, 2020 allocated to the Tech-focused reporting unit was $152.1 million. The annual impairment test for the Tech-focused reporting unit, which was performed as of October 1, 2019, resulted in the fair value of the reporting unit exceeding the carrying value by 37%. During the first quarter of 2020, because of the impacts of the

13

DHI GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on future earnings and cash flows for the reporting unit, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis of goodwill. The results of the analysis indicated that the fair value of the Tech-focused reporting unit was not substantially in excess of the carrying value as of March 31, 2020. The percentage by which the estimated fair value exceeded carrying value for the Tech-focused reporting unit at March 31, 2020 was less than 1%. Revenues for the Tech-focused reporting unit during the second quarter of 2020 exceeded the projections used in the March 31, 2020 analysis by 3% and operating income margin for the Company exceeded the same projections by 3 percentage points. Additionally, the Company believes those projections beyond June 30, 2020 remain the Company's best estimate. As a result, no impairment test was performed during the second quarter of 2020.

Revenue projections for the Tech-focused reporting unit declined compared to the projections used in the October 1, 2019 analysis due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenue is projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 and then increase at rates approaching industry projections. The Company’s ability to achieve these revenue projections may be impacted by, among other things, the length and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, competition in the technology recruiting market, challenges in developing and introducing new products and product enhancements to the market and the Company’s ability to attribute value delivered to customers. Future cash flows are projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of the lower revenue, but the decline will be partially offset by reductions to operating expenses. Operating expenses are projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, resulting in a small operating margin reduction, and then increase at levels that allow for modest operating margin improvements.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of estimates and key assumptions, particularly assumed discount rates and projections of future operating results. The discount rate applied for the Tech-focused reporting unit in the March 31, 2020 analysis was 16.5%, compared to 13.2% at October 1, 2019. An increase to the discount rate applied or reductions to future projected operating results could result in future impairment of the Tech-focused reporting unit’s goodwill. It is reasonably possible that changes in judgments, assumptions and estimates the Company made in assessing the fair value of goodwill could cause the Company to consider some portion or all of the goodwill of the Tech-focused reporting unit to become impaired. In addition, a future decline in the overall market conditions, uncertainty related to COVID-19, political instability, and/or changes in the Company’s market share could negatively impact the estimated future cash flows and discount rates used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit and could result in an impairment charge in the foreseeable future.

10.    INDEBTEDNESS

Credit Agreement—In November 2018, the Company, together with Dice, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dice Career Solutions, Inc. (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which matures in November 2023, and replaced the previously existing credit agreement dated November 2015. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving loan facility of $90 million, with an expansion option up to $140 million, as permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a LIBOR rate or a base rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 1.75% to 2.50% on LIBOR loans and 0.75% to 1.50% on base rate loans, determined by the Company’s most recent consolidated leverage ratio. The Company incurs a commitment fee ranging from 0.30% to 0.45% on any unused capacity under the revolving loan facility, determined by the Company’s most recent consolidated leverage ratio. The facility may be prepaid at any time without penalty.

The Credit Agreement contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants and also contains certain financial covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. Borrowings are allowed under the Credit Agreement to the extent the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis, is equal to or less than 2.50 to 1.00. Negative covenants include restrictions on incurring certain liens; making certain payments, such as stock repurchases and dividend payments; making certain investments; making certain acquisitions; making certain dispositions; and incurring additional indebtedness. Restricted payments are allowed under the Credit Agreement to the extent the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis, is equal to or less than 2.00 to 1.00, plus an additional $5.0 million of restricted payments. The Credit Agreement also provides that the payment of obligations may be accelerated upon the occurrence of customary events of default, including, but not limited to, non-payment, change of control, or insolvency. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

11.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company is subject to various claims from taxing authorities, lawsuits and other complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records provisions for losses when claims become probable and the amounts are reasonably estimable. Although the outcome of these legal matters, except as described below and recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements, cannot be determined, it is the opinion of management that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, operations or liquidity.

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a $1.0 million liability related to a class action lawsuit regarding the applicability of provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (the "FCRA") to one of our products. The lawsuit was brought by Ian Douglas, individually, as a representative of the class and on behalf of the general public, against DHI Group, Inc. and Dice Inc. asserting six claims under the FCRA that the Company’s Open Web profiles are “consumer reports” and Dice is a “consumer reporting agency” under the FCRA, including claims pursuant to the private right of action in 15 U.S.C. Section 1681n for alleged willful violations of the FCRA. The action was originally filed in a federal district court on July 26, 2017, but as a part of the settlement process, the action was re-filed in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, California (Case No. 18CV331732). The recorded liability reflected a settlement, which was subject to a final judgment, and was paid in the third quarter of 2019. The settlement resolved all remaining claims subject to the lawsuit, and final judgment approving the settlement was entered on July 24, 2020.

Tax Contingencies

The Company operates in a number of tax jurisdictions and is routinely subject to examinations by various tax authorities with respect to income taxes and indirect taxes. The determination of the Company’s worldwide provision for taxes requires judgment and estimation. The Company has reserved for potential examination adjustments to our provision for income taxes and accrual of indirect taxes in amounts which the Company believes are reasonable.

The Company's Board approved the retirement of 20 million shares of treasury stock during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and, as a result, the Company reduced additional paid in capital by $161.6 million and Common Stock by $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The value of treasury stock retired was computed based on the average repurchase price of all treasury shares as of March 31, 2019, which was $8.09 per share.

13.    DISPOSITION RELATED AND OTHER COSTS

In May 2017, the Company announced plans to divest a number of its online professional communities to achieve greater focus and resource allocation toward its core tech-focused business. The planned divestitures included: BioSpace (transferred majority ownership to BioSpace management on January 31, 2018 and sold the remaining interest during the second quarter of 2020), Hcareers (sold May 22, 2018), Health eCareers (sold December 4, 2017), and Rigzone (sold the RigLogix portion of the Rigzone business on February 22, 2018 and transferred majority ownership of the remaining Rigzone business to Rigzone management on August 31, 2018). Additionally, the Company ceased the Dice Europe operations on August 31, 2018 and vacated certain offices during 2018. In connection with the planned divestitures and reorganization to the tech-focused strategy, the Company incurred certain costs, including severance and retention, lease exit, business closure, professional fees related to activist shareholders, search, financial advisory, and legal services, and other costs to further these strategic objectives. The activities associated with disposition related and other costs were substantially completed during the year ended December 31, 2019.

14.    STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Under the 2012 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, the Company has granted stock options, restricted stock and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”) to certain employees and directors.

The Company recorded total stock based compensation expense of $1.6 million and $3.4 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $1.6 million and $3.1 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively. At June 30, 2020, there was $11.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.5 years.

Restricted Stock—Restricted stock is granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, and to non-employee members of the Company’s Board. These shares are part of the compensation plan for services provided by the employees or Board members. The closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant is used to determine the fair value of the grants. The expense related to the restricted stock grants is recorded over the vesting period as described below. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants.

The restricted stock vests in various increments either quarterly or on the anniversaries of each grant, subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date. Vesting occurs over one year for Board members and over two to four years for employees.

PSUs—PSUs are granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. These shares are granted under two compensation agreements that are for services provided by the employees. The first agreement expired and was terminated during the first quarter of 2020. Under the second agreement, the fair value of the PSUs are measured at the grant date fair value of the award, which was determined based on an analysis of the probable performance outcomes. The performance period is over one year and is based on the achievement of bookings targets during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, as defined in the agreement. The earned shares will then vest over a three year period, one-third on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, or if later, the date the Compensation Committee certifies the performance results with respect to the performance period. As of June 30, 2020, there were 1,587,607 unvested shares related to the second agreement.

There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants.

Stock Options—The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This valuation model requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the expected life (the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of the Company’s common stock, a risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The expected life of options granted is derived from historical exercise behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of grant. The stock options vest 25% after one year, beginning on the first anniversary date of the grant, and 6.25% each quarter following the first anniversary. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants. No stock options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

A summary of the status of options previously granted as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the changes during the periods then ended, is presented below:

16.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus common stock equivalents, where dilutive. For the six month period ended June 30, 2020, 1.4 million dilutive shares were excluded from the computation of shares contingently issuable upon exercise as we recognized a net loss. Outstanding stock-based awards that were anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS were approximately 2.1 million and 2.0 million shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, and approximately 0.5 million and 0.6 million shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The following is a calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share and weighted-average shares outstanding (in thousands, except per share amounts):

17. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate was 19% and 9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and 14% and 34% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The following items caused the effective tax rate to differ from the U.S. statutory rate:

•A tax deficiency of $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, related to the vesting or settlement of share-based compensation awards.

•Tax expense of $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, from the nondeductible impairment of an equity investment.

•A tax benefit of $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, from the expiration of the statute of limitations in certain foreign jurisdictions.

•Excess tax benefits of $0.3 million and deficiencies of $0.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, related to the vesting or settlement of share-based compensation awards.

•Tax expense of $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, related to the transition tax on the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report. See also our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and the section entitled “Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Information contained herein contains forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on those statements because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations. These statements often include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or similar expressions. These statements are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, our ability to execute our tech-

21

focused strategy, competition from existing and future competitors in the highly competitive markets in which we operate, failure to adapt our business model to keep pace with rapid changes in the recruiting and career services business, failure to maintain and develop our reputation and brand recognition, failure to increase or maintain the number of customers who purchase recruitment packages, cyclicality or downturns in the economy or industries we serve, the impact of the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak on our operations and financial results, geopolitical events such as civil unrest in Hong Kong and uncertainty in respect of the regulation of data protection and data privacy, failure to attract qualified professionals to our websites or grow the number of qualified professionals who use our websites, failure to successfully identify or integrate acquisitions, U.S. and foreign government regulation of the Internet and taxation, our ability to borrow funds under our revolving credit facility or refinance our indebtedness and restrictions on our current and future operations under such indebtedness. These factors and others are discussed in more detail below and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Information contained herein contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Such measures presented herein include adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock based compensation expense, impairment, gain or loss on sale of businesses, and certain other income or expense items, as defined, (“Adjusted EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources" for definitions of these measures as well as reconciliations to the comparable GAAP measure.

You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by us herein, or elsewhere, speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible to predict these events or how they may affect us. We have no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof, except as required by federal securities laws.

Overview

We are a provider of software products, online tools and services that deliver career marketplaces to candidates and employers globally. DHI’s three brands, Dice, ClearanceJobs and eFinancialCareers, enable recruiters and hiring managers to efficiently search, match and connect with highly skilled technologists in specialized fields, particularly technology, active government security clearance, and financial services. Professionals find ideal employment opportunities, relevant job advice and personalized data that help manage their technologist lives.

In online recruitment, we specialize in employment categories in which there has been a long-term scarcity of highly skilled, highly qualified professionals relative to market demand, specifically technologists who work in a variety of industries, have active government security clearances or a financial services background. Our websites serve as online two-sided marketplaces where employers and recruiters source and connect with prospective employees, and where technologists find relevant job opportunities, data and information to further their careers. Our websites offer job postings, news and content, career development and recruiting services tailored to the specific needs of the professional community that each website serves.

Our Revenues and Expenses

We derive the majority of our revenues from customers who pay fees, either annually, quarterly or monthly, to post jobs on our websites and to access our searchable databases of resumes. Our fees vary by customer based on the number of individual users of our databases of resumes, the number and type of job postings and profile views purchased and the terms of the packages purchased. Our Company sells recruitment packages that can include access to our databases of resumes and job posting capabilities. We believe the key metrics that are material to an analysis of our businesses are our total number of Dice recruitment package customers and the revenue, on average, that these customers generate. Average monthly revenue per recruitment package customer is calculated by dividing recruitment package customer revenue by the daily average count of recruitment package customers during the month, adjusted to reflect a thirty day month. We use the simple average of each month to derive the quarterly amount. At June 30, 2020 and 2019, Dice had approximately 5,450 and 6,100 total recruitment

22

package customers in the U.S., respectively, and the average monthly revenue per U.S. recruitment package customer increased from $1,130 and $1,132 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 to $1,131 and $1,142 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Deferred revenue, as shown on the Condensed Consolidated Balance sheets, reflects customer billings made in advance of services being rendered. Backlog consists of deferred revenue plus customer contractual commitments not invoiced representing the value of future services to be rendered under committed contracts. We believe backlog to be an important measure of our business as it represents our ability to generate future revenue. A summary of our deferred revenue and backlog as of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019, and June 30, 2019 are presented in the table below.

Summary of Deferred Revenue and Backlog:	6/30/2020		12/31/2019		6/30/2019
Deferred Revenue	$	47,169	$	51,626	$	58,009
Contractual commitments not invoiced	23,910		37,093		22,124
Backlog1	$	71,079	$	88,719	$	80,133
(1) Backlog consists of deferred revenue plus customer contractual commitments not invoiced representing the value of future services to be rendered under committed contracts.

Backlog at June 30, 2020 declined $17.6 million and $9.1 million from December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively. Compared to December 31, 2019, the decrease is due to the negative impacts of COVID-19 and normal seasonal changes due to a higher concentration of contract renewals surrounding the end of each calendar year and the resulting usage of those contracts. Compared to June 30, 2019, the decrease is driven by the negative impacts of COVID-19 across all brands, lower renewal rates in the Dice brand, and uncertainty around Brexit and political unrest in Hong Kong negatively impacting eFinancialCareers.

To a lesser extent, we also generate revenue from advertising on our various websites or from lead generation and marketing solutions provided to our customers. Advertisements include various forms of rich media and banner advertising, text links, sponsorships, and custom content marketing solutions. Lead generation information utilizes advertising and other methods to deliver leads to a customer.

The Company continues to evolve and present new software products and features to attract and engage qualified professionals and match them with employers. For example, thus far in 2020, the Company has released Dice Private Email, Dice Remote Jobs, Dice Recruiter Profile, ClearanceJobs Workflow, eFinancialCareers Messaging, Video and Voice Calling, and eFinancialCareers Job Alerts. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company released Dice Candidate MatchTM, Dice Job Search and Job Alerts, ClearanceJobs NextGen, ClearanceJobs Pulse, ClearanceJobs BrandAmp, eFinancialCareers Recruiter Profile, and eFinancialCareers Candidate Profile. Our ability to grow our revenues will largely depend on our ability to grow our customer bases in the markets in which we operate by acquiring new customers while retaining a high proportion of the customers we currently serve, and to expand the breadth of services our customers purchase from us. We continue to make investments in our business and infrastructure to help us achieve our long-term growth objectives, such as the innovative products noted above.

Other material factors that may affect our results of operations include our ability to attract qualified professionals that become engaged with our websites and our ability to attract customers with relevant job opportunities. The more qualified professionals that use our websites, the more attractive our websites become to employers and advertisers, which in turn makes them more likely to become our customers, resulting positively on our results of operations. If we are unable to continue to attract qualified professionals to engage with our two-sided marketplaces, our customers may no longer find our services attractive, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations. Additionally, we need to ensure that our websites remain relevant in order to attract qualified professionals to our websites and to engage them in high-value tasks, such as posting resumes and/or applying to jobs.

The largest components of our expenses are personnel costs and marketing and sales expenditures. Personnel costs consist of salaries, benefits, and incentive compensation for our employees, including commissions for salespeople. Personnel costs are categorized either in our statement of operations based on each employee’s principal function or those personnel costs incurred during the application development stage of internal use software and website development are recorded as fixed assets and amortized to depreciation expense in the statement of operations over the estimated useful life of the asset. Marketing expenditures primarily consist of online advertising, brand promotion and lead generation to employers and job seekers.

(1) Includes Dice U.S. and Career Events (formerly known as Targeted Job Fairs).
(2) Foreign exchange impact is calculated by determining the increase (decrease) in current period revenues where current period revenues are translated using prior period exchange rates.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we experienced a decrease in revenue of $3.6 million, or 10%. Revenue at Dice decreased $2.7 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2019 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic driving lower renewal rates year over year. Revenues for ClearanceJobs increased $1.1 million, or 18%, as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily driven by continued high demand for professionals with government clearance and consistent product releases and enhancements driving activity on the site. eFinancialCareers revenue decreased $1.9 million, or 24%, as compared to the same period in 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, uncertainty around Brexit, political unrest in Hong Kong due to the imposition of the security law, and the impacts of foreign currency exchange.

Cost of revenues	$	4,159		$	3,916		$	243	6	%
Percentage of revenues	12.3		%	10.5		%

Cost of revenues increased $0.2 million, or 6%, primarily driven by an increase in compensation related costs, partially offset by higher capitalization of internal development costs, which decreases operating expenses. Together, this increased expense $0.3 million.

Product Development Expenses

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Decrease		Percent Change
	2020			2019
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Product development	$	3,774		$	4,391		$	(617)	(14)	%
Percentage of revenues	11.2		%	11.8		%

Product development expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 14%, driven by higher capitalization of internal development costs, which decreases operating expenses. This was partially offset by an increase in compensation related costs due to higher headcount. Together, this decreased expense $0.3 million. The higher capitalization of internal development costs resulted from the Company's continued focus on the design and development of product enhancements and features for the Company's sites. The Company also noted a decrease in travel and other costs due to COVID-19 of $0.3 million.

24

Sales and Marketing Expenses

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Decrease		Percent Change
	2020			2019
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Sales and marketing	$	12,297		$	13,774		$	(1,477)	(11)	%
Percentage of revenues	36.4		%	36.9		%

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $1.5 million, or 11% from the same period in 2019. Sales and marketing had an increase in compensation related costs of $1.7 million. This increase was offset by $2.3 million in reduced discretionary marketing expenses realized from efficiencies in vendor selection and volumes and a focus on higher yielding marketing investments and $0.9 million reduction in other operational costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including travel and consulting costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Increase		Percent Change
	2020			2019
	(in thousands, except percentages)
General and administrative	$	8,082		$	7,790		$	292	4	%
Percentage of revenues	23.9		%	20.9		%

General and administrative expenses increased $0.3 million, or 4%, primarily due to an increase in compensation related costs.

	2020			2019
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Depreciation	$	3,019		$	2,361		$	658	28	%
Percentage of revenues	8.9		%	6.3		%

Depreciation expense increased $0.7 million or 28% from the same period in 2019, in connection with higher headcount driving higher capitalization of internal development costs, which are reflected as purchases of fixed assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Disposition Related and Other Costs

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Decrease		Percent Change
	2020			2019
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Disposition related and other costs	$	—		$	825		$	(825)	(100)	%
Percentage of revenues	—		%	2.2		%

Disposition related and other costs of $0.8 million in 2019 are primarily due to severance and related costs incurred while reorganizing to the tech-focused business.

Operating Income (Loss)

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2020			2019
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Revenue	$	33,784		$	37,359
Operating income	2,453			3,765
Percentage of revenues	7.3		%	10.1		%

Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $2.5 million, a margin of 7%, compared to operating income of $3.8 million, a margin of 10%, for the same period in 2019, a decrease of $1.3 million. The decrease in operating income and percentage margin were driven by the decrease in revenues, largely due to the impacts of COVID-19, which was partially offset by reductions in operating expenses, primarily related to an increase in capitalized internal development costs and a reduction in discretionary marketing spend.

Interest Expense and Other

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Decrease		Percent Change
	2020			2019
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Interest expense and other	$	161		$	219		$	(58)	(26)	%
Percentage of revenues	0.5		%	0.6		%

Interest expense and other decreased $0.1 million, or 26%, compared to the same period in 2019. Interest expense increased $0.1 million year over year, primarily due to the higher weighted-average debt outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as the Company borrowed on its revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2020 for liquidity protection during the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in interest expense was offset by a $0.2 million gain recognized in the second quarter of 2020 on the sale of the Company's 20% interest in BioSpace.

Income Taxes

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2020			2019
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Income before income taxes	$	2,292		$	3,546
Income tax expense	430			485
Effective tax rate	18.8		%	13.7		%

Our effective tax rate of 18.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 differed from the U.S. statutory rate because of the allocation of income between jurisdictions. The tax rate of 13.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was lower than the statutory rate due to a tax benefit realized upon the vesting or settlement of share-based compensation awards.

Earnings (loss) per Share

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019
	(in thousands, except per share amounts)
Net income	$	1,862	$	3,061
Weighted-average shares outstanding—diluted	49,691		51,875
Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$	0.04	$	0.06

26

Diluted earnings per share was $0.04 and $0.06 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in earnings per share was primarily due to the decrease in revenues driven by COVID-19.

(2) Foreign exchange impact is calculated by determining the increase (decrease) in current period revenues where current period revenues are translated using prior period exchange rates.

We experienced a decrease in revenue of $4.1 million, or 5%. Revenue at Dice decreased by $3.4 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2019, with the COVID-19 pandemic, decrease in recruitment package customers and renewal rates contributing to the overall decrease. Revenue at ClearanceJobs increased by $2.2 million, or 19%, as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily driven by continued high demand for professionals with government clearance, and consistent product releases and enhancements driving activity on the site. eFinancialCareers revenue decreased by $2.9 million, or 18%, compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due the COVID-19 pandemic, uncertainty around Brexit, political unrest in Hong Kong, and the negative impact of foreign currency exchange.

Percentage of revenues	11.8		%	10.4		%

Cost of revenues increased $0.6 million, or 8%, primarily driven by an increase in compensation related costs, partially offset by higher capitalization of internal development costs, which decreases operating expenses. Together, this increased expense $0.6 million.

Product Development Expenses

Percentage of revenues	11.3		%	11.5		%

Product Development expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 8%, driven by higher capitalization of internal development costs, which decreases operating expenses. This was partially offset by an increase in compensation related costs due to higher headcount. Together, this decreased expense $0.3 million. The higher capitalization of internal development costs resulted from the Company's continued focus on the design and development of product enhancements and features for the Company's sites. The Company also noted a decrease in travel and other costs due to COVID-19 of $0.3 million.

Revenue	$	70,417		$	74,479
Operating income (loss)	(2,797)			7,357
Percentage of revenues	(4.0)		%	9.9		%

Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $2.8 million, a negative margin of 4%, as compared to operating income of $7.4 million, a margin of 10%, for the same period in 2019. The decrease in operating income and percentage margin were primarily driven by lower revenues from the impacts of COVID-19, impairments of intangible assets and equity investment, and increases in depreciation and compensation related costs. This was partially offset by lower sales and marketing and disposition related and other costs.

Interest Expense and Other

	Six Months Ended June 30,						Increase		Percent Change

Interest expense	$	344		$	324		$	20	6	%
Percentage of revenues	0.5		%	0.4		%

Interest expense and other was flat to the same period in 2019. Interest expense increased $0.2 million year over year, primarily due to the higher weighted-average debt outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as the Company borrowed on its revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2020 for liquidity protection during the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in interest expense was offset by a $0.2 million gain recognized in the second quarter of 2020 on the sale of the Company's 20% interest in BioSpace.

Effective tax rate	8.8		%	33.9		%

Our effective tax rate of 8.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate due to a tax deficiency of $0.5 million related to the vesting or settlement of share-based compensation awards; tax expense of $0.7 million from the nondeductible impairment of an equity investment; and a tax benefit of $0.2 million from the expiration of the statute of limitations in certain foreign jurisdictions.

The tax rate of 33.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 exceeded the statutory rate due to a tax deficiency of $0.4 million related to the vesting or settlement of share-based compensation awards; and tax expense of $0.4 million from the transition tax on the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share was $(0.10) and $0.09 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in earnings (loss) per share was primarily driven by the impairment charges during 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have provided certain non-GAAP financial measures as additional information for our operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. We believe the presentation of non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP metrics used by management to measure operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure for internal monitoring and planning, including preparation of annual budgets, analyzing investment decisions and evaluating profitability and performance comparisons between us and our competitors. The Company also uses this measure to calculate amounts of performance based compensation under the senior management incentive bonus program. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income plus (to the extent deducted in calculating such net income) interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock based compensation, losses resulting from certain dispositions outside the ordinary course of business including prior negative operating results of those divested businesses, certain writeoffs in connection with indebtedness, impairment charges with respect to long-lived assets, expenses incurred in connection with an equity offering or any other offering of securities by the Company, extraordinary or non-recurring non-cash expenses or losses, transaction costs in connection with the credit agreement, deferred revenues written off in connection with acquisition purchase accounting adjustments, writeoff of non-cash stock based compensation expense, severance and retention costs related to dispositions and reorganizations of the Company,

30

and losses related to legal claims and fees that are unusual in nature or infrequent, minus (to the extent included in calculating such net income) non-cash income or gains, interest income, business interruption insurance proceeds, and any income or gain resulting from certain dispositions outside the ordinary course of business, including prior positive operating results of those divested businesses, and gains related to legal claims that are unusual in nature or infrequent.

We also consider Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, to be an important indicator to investors because it provides information related to our ability to provide cash flows to meet future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements and to fund future growth. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that this measure provides our Board, management and investors with additional information to measure our performance, provide comparisons from period to period and company to company by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense) and tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses), and to estimate our value.

We understand that although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our liquidity or results as reported under GAAP. Some limitations are:

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

•Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

To compensate for these limitations, management evaluates our liquidity by considering the economic effect of excluded expense items independently, as well as in connection with its analysis of cash flows from operations and through the use of other financial measures, such as capital expenditure budget variances, investment spending levels and return on capital analysis.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is computed as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue, net income, operating income, cash provided by operating activities, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our profitability or liquidity.

Cash Flows

We have summarized our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands).

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019
Cash from operating activities	$	10,020	$	14,375
Cash used in investing activities	$	(8,205)	$	(3,603)
Cash from (used in) financing activities	$	20,401	$	(9,541)

We have financed our operations primarily through cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2020, we had cash of $27.5 million compared to $5.4 million at December 31, 2019. Cash held by foreign subsidiaries totaled approximately $2.7 million and $1.9 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Cash and cash equivalent balances and cash generation in the United States, along with the unused portion of our revolving credit facility, are sufficient to maintain liquidity and meet our obligations without being dependent on cash and earnings from our foreign subsidiaries.

Liquidity

Our principal internal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, as well as the cash flow that we generate from our operations. In addition, we had $53.0 million in borrowing capacity under our $90.0 million Credit Agreement at June 30, 2020, subject to certain availability limits including our consolidated leverage ratio, which generally limits borrowings to 2.5 times annual adjusted EBITDA levels, as defined in the Credit Agreement. We believe that our existing U.S. cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and available borrowings under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy our currently anticipated cash requirements through at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future thereafter. However, it is possible that one or more lenders under the Credit Agreement may refuse or be unable to satisfy their commitment to lend to us, we may violate one or more of our covenants or financial ratios contained in our Credit Agreement or we may need to refinance our debt and be unable to do so. In addition, our liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for our products and services and the ability of our customers to pay for current or future services, including from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We may also make acquisitions and may need to raise additional capital through future debt financings or equity offerings to the extent necessary to fund such acquisitions, which we may not be able to do on a timely basis or on terms satisfactory to us or at all.

Operating Activities

Net cash flows from operating activities primarily consist of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, stock based compensation, impairments, and the effect of changes in working capital. Net cash flows from operating activities were $10.0 million and $14.4 million for six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Cash inflow from operations is driven by earnings and is dependent on the amount and timing of billings and cash collection from our customers. Cash provided by operating activities during the 2020 period decreased $4.4 million compared to the same period of 2019 primarily due to lower billings to customers resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Investing Activities

During the six month period ended June 30, 2020, cash used in investing activities was $8.2 million compared to $3.6 million in the same period in 2019. Cash used in investing activities in the six month period ended June 30, 2020 increased from the comparable 2019 period due to higher capitalization of internally developed software of $2.1 million and $2.5 million lower receipts from the sale of businesses and equity investments.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2020 was $20.4 million, primarily due to $27.0 million of net proceeds on long-term debt, partially offset by $6.6 million related to share repurchases. Cash used during the three month period ended June 30, 2019 of $9.5 million was primarily due to $8.0 million of net repayments on long-term debt and $1.5 million related to share repurchases.

33

Credit Agreement

In November 2018, the Company, together with Dice, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dice Career Solutions, Inc. (collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which matures in November 2023, and replaced the previously existing credit agreement dated November 2015. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving loan facility of $90 million, with an expansion option up to $140 million, as permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a LIBOR rate or base rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 1.75% to 2.50% on LIBOR loans and 0.75% to 1.50% on base rate loans, determined by the Company’s most recent consolidated leverage ratio. The Company incurs a commitment fee ranging from 0.30% to 0.45% on any unused capacity under the revolving loan facility, determined by the Company’s most recent consolidated leverage ratio. The facility may be prepaid at any time without penalty.

The Credit Agreement contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants and also contains certain financial covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. Borrowings are allowed under the Credit Agreement to the extent the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis, is equal to or less than 2.50 to 1.00. Negative covenants include restrictions on incurring certain liens; making certain payments, such as stock repurchases and dividend payments; making certain investments; making certain acquisitions; and incurring additional indebtedness. Restricted payments are allowed under the Credit Agreement to the extent the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis, is equal to or less than 2.00 to 1.00, plus an additional $5.0 million of restricted payments. The Credit Agreement also provides that the payment of obligations may be accelerated upon the occurrence of customary events of default, including, but not limited to, non-payment, change of control, or insolvency. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 10 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by two of the Company's U.S. based wholly-owned subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers and the guarantors and stock pledges from certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Commitments and Contingencies

The following table presents certain minimum payments due and the estimated timing under contractual obligations with minimum firm commitments as of June 30, 2020:

	Payments Due By Period
	Total		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More Than 5 Years
	(in thousands)
Credit Agreement	$	37,000	$	—	$	—	$	37,000	$	—
Operating lease obligations	20,381		1,950		7,609		6,423		4,399
Total contractual obligations	$	57,381	$	1,950	$	7,609	$	43,423	$	4,399

We make commitments to purchase advertising from online vendors which we pay for on a monthly basis. We have no significant long-term obligations to purchase a fixed or minimum amount with these vendors.

Our principal commitments consist of obligations under operating leases for office space and equipment and long-term debt. As of June 30, 2020, we had $37.0 million outstanding under our Credit Agreement. Interest payments are due at varying, specified periods (to a maximum of three months) based on the type of loan (LIBOR or base rate loan) we choose. See Note 10 “Indebtedness” in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our Credit Agreement.

34

Future interest payments on our Credit Agreement are variable due to our interest rate being based on a LIBOR rate or a base rate. Assuming an interest rate of 2.19% (the rate in effect on June 30, 2020) on our current borrowings, interest payments are expected to be approximately $0.4 million for the remainder of 2020, and approximately $0.8 million per year in 2021-2023.

As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $1.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits as liabilities, and it is uncertain if or when such amounts may be settled. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits considered permanent differences, we have also recorded a liability for potential penalties and interest. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2020 are $1.8 million of tax benefits that if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that as much as $0.5 million of its unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized in the next twelve months.

Impact of COVID-19 on our Business

The spread of the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) during the first half of 2020 has caused an economic downturn on a global scale, as well as significant volatility in the financial markets. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the spread of the COVID-19 virus a pandemic. COVID-19 has slowed recruitment activity for our businesses in recent months as employers have slowed hiring, which has reduced our revenues and operating cash flows. We expect the pandemic will continue to negatively impact our financial performance in the coming months, but, based on information currently available, we are not anticipating a significant long-term impact on our business and operations, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, liquidity and capital and financial resources. However, the situation is uncertain and rapidly changing. The Company cannot at this time predict the ultimate impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its financial condition and operations. In an effort to protect the health and safety of our employees, we have taken action to adopt social distancing policies at our locations around the world, including working from home, closing of our office locations where necessary, and suspending employee travel. We may have to take further actions that we determine are in the best interests of our employees or as required by federal, state, or local authorities.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold. The extent of the pandemic’s effect on our operational and financial performance will depend in large part on future developments, which cannot be predicted with confidence at this time. Future developments include the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact, the impact on governmental programs and budgets, the development of treatments or vaccines, and the resumption of widespread economic activity. While we expect the pandemic will continue to negatively impact our financial performance in the coming months, due to the inherent uncertainty of the unprecedented and rapidly evolving situation, we may not be able to predict the likely impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operations.

Cyclicality

The labor market and certain of the industries that we serve have historically experienced short-term cyclicality. However, we believe that online career websites continue to provide economic and strategic value to the labor market and industries that we serve.

Any slowdown in recruitment activity that occurs could negatively impact our revenues and results of operations. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a slowdown of recruiting activity in recent months, which has negatively impacted our business. Alternatively, a decrease in the unemployment rate or a labor shortage, including as a result of an increase in job turnover, generally means that employers (including our customers) are seeking to hire more individuals, which would generally lead to more job postings and database licenses and have a positive impact on our revenues and results of operations. Based on historical trends, improvements in labor markets and the need for our services generally lag behind overall economic improvements. Additionally, there has historically been a lag from the time customers begin to increase purchases of our recruitment services and the impact to our revenues due to the recognition of revenue occurring over the length of the contract, which can be several months to over a year.

From time to time, we see market slowdowns, which can lead to lower demand for recruiting technology, financial and security cleared professionals. In recent months, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a reduction in recruitment activity. If recruitment activity continues to slow in the industries in which we operate during 2020 and beyond, our revenues and results of operations will be negatively impacted.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We have exposure to financial market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant market prices.

35

Foreign Exchange Risk

We conduct business serving multiple markets, in four languages, mainly across Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, approximately 17% and 20% of our revenues were earned outside the United States, respectively, and certain of these amounts are collected in local currency. We are subject to risk for exchange rate fluctuations between such local currencies and the British Pound Sterling, primarily, and the United States dollar and the translation of these. We currently do not hedge currency risk. A decrease in foreign exchange rates during a period would result in decreased amounts reported in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income (loss), and of Cash Flows. For example, if foreign exchange rates between the British Pound Sterling and United States dollar decreased by 1.0%, the impact on our revenues and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 would have been a decrease of approximately $0.1 million to both revenues and expenses.

In connection with Brexit, the global markets and currencies have been adversely impacted, including a decline in the value of the British Pound Sterling as compared to the United States dollar. Volatility in exchange rates may occur as the UK negotiates its exit from the EU. We currently do not hedge our British Pound Sterling exposure and therefore are susceptible to currency risk. In the longer term, any impact from Brexit on us will depend, in part, on the outcome of tariff, trade, regulatory and other negotiations. Although it is unknown what the result of those negotiations will be, it is possible that new terms may adversely affect our operations and financial results. In addition, trade talks or pacts between the United States and other nations could adversely affect our operations and financial results.

The financial statements of our non-United States subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars using current exchange rates, with gains or losses included in the cumulative translation adjustment account, which is a component of stockholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our cumulative translation adjustment decreased stockholders’ equity by $33.3 million and $29.2 million, respectively. The change from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is primarily attributable to the position of the British Pound sterling against the United States dollar.

Interest Rate Risk

We have interest rate risk primarily related to borrowings under our Credit Agreement. Borrowings under our Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at a LIBOR rate or base rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 1.75% to 2.50% on the LIBOR loans and 0.75% to 1.50% on the base rate, as determined by our most recent consolidated leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2020, we had outstanding borrowings of $37.0 million under our Credit Agreement. If interest rates increased 1.0%, interest expense in 2020 on our current borrowings would increase by less than $0.2 million.

LIBOR is the subject of recent national, international and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. These reforms and other pressure may cause LIBOR to disappear entirely or to perform differently than in the past. It is expected that certain banks will stop reporting information used to set LIBOR at the end of 2021 when their reporting obligations cease. This would effectively end the usefulness of LIBOR and may end its publication. The consequences of these developments cannot be entirely predicted but, as noted above, could impact the interest rates of LIBOR loans. If LIBOR is no longer widely available, the Company will pursue alternative interest rate calculations under the Credit Agreement. The Company is evaluating the expected impact of this change on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established a system of controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Exchange Act and in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These disclosure controls and procedures have been evaluated under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) as of June 30, 2020. Based on such evaluations, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

36

Changes in Internal Controls

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

37

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings 

From time to time we may be involved in disputes or litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations. Except as noted in Part 1, Item 1 of this form 10-Q, we are currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors 

Our results of operations have been adversely affected and could be materially impacted in the future by the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

The global spread of COVID-19 has created significant volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption during fiscal 2020. COVID-19 has slowed recruitment activity for our businesses in recent months as employers have slowed hiring, which has reduced our revenues and operating cash flows. We expect the pandemic will continue to negatively impact our financial performance in the coming months. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, operations, and financial results in the future will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration, scope, and severity of the pandemic; governmental, business, and individuals’ actions that have been taken, and continue to be taken, in response to the pandemic; the impact of the pandemic on worldwide economic activity and actions taken in response; the effect on our clients and client demand for our services; our ability to sell and provide our services and solutions, including the impact of travel restrictions and from people working from home, and access to our systems; the ability of our clients to pay for our services on a timely basis or at all; the ability to maintain sufficient liquidity; and any closure of our offices. Any of these events, or related conditions, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and stock price.

We have disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K the risk factors which materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. As of August 6, 2020, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed, except for the above risk factor regarding COVID-19. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and the other information set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Repurchases of Equity Securities

Our Board approved a stock repurchase program that permits the Company to repurchase our common stock. Management has discretion in determining the conditions under which shares may be purchased from time to time. The following table summarizes the stock repurchase plans approved by the Board:

	May 2018 to May 2019	May 2019 to May 2020	May 2020 to May 2021
Approval Date	May 2018	April 2019	May 2020
Authorized Repurchase Amount of Common Stock	$7 million	$7 million	$5 million

38

During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, purchases of the Company's common stock pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Plan were as follows:

Period	(a) Total Number of Shares Purchased [1]	(b) Average Price Paid per Share [2]		(c) Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	(d) Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of DHI Group, Inc. (“DHI” or the “Company”) have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted and condensed pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal and recurring accruals) have been made to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year.

Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the condensed consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates during the six month period ended June 30, 2020, except as disclosed in Notes 6 and 8 relating to impairments to equity method investments and intangible assets.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

2.    NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current "incurred loss" model with an "expected loss" model that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of a financial asset. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for Smaller Reporting Companies. The Company is evaluating the expected impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820), Disclosures Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract. The new standard requires entities that are customers in cloud computing arrangements to defer implementation costs if they would be capitalized by the entity in software licensing arrangements under the internal-use software guidance. ASU No. 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those years. The amendments allow either a retrospective or prospective approach to all implementation costs incurred after adoption. The Company adopted this standard, effective January 1, 2020, under the prospective approach, and capitalized implementation costs are included in other assets on the Company's balance sheet.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating taxes during interim quarters and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes, specifies the timing for recognizing certain income tax effects of changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the expected impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized net of customer discounts ratably over the service period. Customer billings delivered in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the service period. The Company generates revenue from recruitment packages, advertising, classifieds, and virtual and live career fair and recruitment event booth rentals.

Short-term contract liabilities (deferred revenue)	46,644		50,568
Long-term contract liabilities (deferred revenue)	525		1,058

We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; accounts receivable is recorded when customers are invoiced per the contractual billings schedules. As the Company's standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company elected the practical expedient, where applicable. As a result, the Company does not consider the effects of a significant financing component. Contract liabilities include customer billings delivered in advance of performance under the contract, and associated revenue is realized when services are rendered under the contract.

Receivables increase due to customer billings and decrease by cash collected from customers. Contract liabilities increase due to customer billings and are decreased as performance obligations are satisfied under the contracts.

The Company recognized the following revenues as a result of changes in the contract liability balances in the respective periods (in thousands):

4. SALE OF BUSINESSES

The Company sold the Hcareers business on May 22, 2018 for $16.5 million and incurred approximately $1.5 million in selling costs, with $1.7 million of the purchase price placed in escrow (recorded in prepaid and other current assets), to be released twelve months after the closing date, subject to the terms and conditions of the transaction agreement, including certain contingencies. Additionally, the Company recorded a receivable of $0.2 million related to working capital, subject to the terms and conditions of the transaction agreement. Net cash proceeds of $14.0 million were received on the date of sale of Hcareers. As a result of the sale, a $0.8 million loss was recognized in the second quarter of 2018. During the second quarter of 2019, the escrow of $1.7 million and working capital terms and related contingencies were finalized resulting in the Company recording an additional loss on sale of $0.5 million and receiving cash of $0.7 million from the escrow and $0.2 million from working capital.

The Company sold the RigLogix portion of the Rigzone business on February 20, 2018 for $4.2 million and incurred approximately $0.6 million in selling costs. $0.4 million of the purchase price was placed in escrow, which was released to the Company in the first quarter of 2019. As a result of the sale, a $4.6 million gain was recognized in the first quarter of 2018. The gain on sale exceeded net proceeds as liabilities transferred in the transaction exceeded assets, primarily due to deferred revenues of $1.2 million.

The Company sold the Health eCareers business on December 4, 2017 for $15.0 million and incurred approximately $0.6 million of selling costs. $1.5 million of the purchase price was placed in escrow, which was released to the Company in the second quarter of 2019.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The FASB ASC topic on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. As a basis for considering assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy is used, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and long-term debt approximate their fair values. The fair value of the long-term debt was estimated using present value techniques and market based interest rates and credit spreads. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on Level 2 inputs.

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets include investments (included in other assets), goodwill and intangible assets which resulted from prior acquisitions. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable. Such instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment.

INVESTMENTS

At January 1, 2018, the Company held preferred stock representing a 10.0% interest in the fully diluted shares of a leading tech skills assessment company. During 2018, the skills assessment company completed an additional equity offering, lowering DHI's total interest to 7.6%. The Company did not adjust the recorded value of the investment because the shares issued under the new share offering were not similar to the Company's share rights. As of December 31, 2019 it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the preferred stock as the shares are not traded. The investment was carried at its original cost of $2.0 million and was included in the other assets section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, based on the investment's historical cash burn rate, uncertainty of its ability to meet revenue and cash flow projections, current liquidity position, lack of access to additional capital, and impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined the value to be zero. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.0 million during the first quarter of 2020.

On January 31, 2018, the Company transferred a majority ownership of the BioSpace business to BioSpace management with zero proceeds received from the transfer, while retaining a 20% preferred share interest in the BioSpace business. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company sold its 20% interest in BioSpace to BioSpace management for $0.2 million. At the time of sale, the recorded value of the investment was zero. Accordingly, the Company recognized a $0.2 million gain on sale, which was included in interest expense and other on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Rigzone is a website dedicated to delivering online content, data, and career services in the oil and gas industry in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. Oil and gas companies, as well as companies that serve the energy industry, use Rigzone to find talent for roles such as petroleum engineers, sales professionals with energy industry expertise and skilled tradesmen. On August 31, 2018, the Company transferred a majority ownership of the Rigzone business to Rigzone management, while retaining a 40% common share interest, with zero proceeds received from the transfer. The Company has evaluated the 40% common share interest in the Rigzone business and has determined the investment meets the definition and criteria of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). The Company evaluated the VIE and determined that the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in the VIE, as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance. The common share interest is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over Rigzone. As accumulated earnings of the VIE have been approximately zero since the date of transfer, the investment is recorded at zero at June 30, 2020.

Leases [Abstract]

LEASES

LEASES

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), applying the modified retrospective transition.

The Company has operating leases for corporate office space and certain equipment. The leases have original terms from one year to eight years, some of which include options to renew the lease, and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. No leases include options to purchase the leased property. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We do not have any lease agreements with related parties.

Operating lease right-of-use "ROU" assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating ROU assets and liabilities commencing after January 1, 2019 are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When readily available, the Company uses the implicit rate in determining the present value of the lease payments. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement of the lease, including the lease term. Because the implicit rate in each lease is not available, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. All operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The components of lease cost were as follows (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,

Intangible Assets, Net (Excluding Goodwill) [Abstract]

Acquired Intangible Assets, Net

ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had an indefinite-lived acquired intangible asset of $31.8 million and $39.0 million, respectively, related to the Dice trademarks and brand name. The impairment test performed as of October 1, 2019 resulted in the fair value of the Dice trademarks and brand name exceeding the carrying value by 26%. During the first quarter of 2020, because of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on future earnings and cash flows for the Dice trademarks and brand name, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis. As a result of the analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $7.2 million during the first quarter of 2020. Revenue attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name exceeded the projections used in the March 31, 2020 analysis by 1% and operating income margin for the Company exceeded the same projections by 3 percentage points. Additionally, the Company believes those projections beyond June 30, 2020 remain the Company's best estimate. As a result, no impairment was recorded during the three month period ended June 30, 2020 nor during the six month period ended June 30, 2019.

Considering the recognition of the Dice brand, its long history, awareness in the talent acquisition and staffing services market, and the intended use, the remaining useful life of the Dice.com trademarks and brand name was determined to be indefinite. We determine whether the carrying value of recorded indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets is impaired on an annual basis or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. The impairment review process compares the fair value of the indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recorded.

The projections utilized in the March 31, 2020 analysis included a decline in revenues attributable to the Dice trademark and brand name for the year ending December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 and then increasing to rates approximating industry growth projections. The Company’s ability to achieve these revenue projections may be impacted by, among other things, uncertainty related to COVID-19, competition in the technology recruiting market, challenges in developing and introducing new products and product enhancements to the market and the Company’s ability to attribute value delivered to customers. Cash flows attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name are projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of the lower revenue, but partially offset by reductions to operating expenses. Operating expenses are projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, including a small operating margin reduction, and then increase at levels that allow for modest operating margin improvements. If future cash flows attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in a future period. In the March 31, 2020 analysis, the Company utilized a relief from royalty rate method to value the Dice trademarks and brand name using a royalty rate of 5.0% based on comparable industry studies and a discount rate of 17.5% compared to a royalty rate of 6.0% and a discount rate of 14.2% at October 1, 2019.

The determination of whether or not indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets have become impaired involves a significant level of judgment in the assumptions underlying the approach used to determine the value of the indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets. Fair values are determined using a profit allocation methodology which estimates the value of the trademark and brand name by capitalizing the profits saved because the company owns the asset. We consider factors such as historical performance, anticipated market conditions, operating expense trends and capital expenditure requirements. Changes in our strategy, uncertainty related to COVID-19, and/or changes in market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded amounts of intangible assets. If projections are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in the foreseeable future.

9.   GOODWILL

The following table shows the carrying amount of goodwill as of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 and the changes in goodwill for the six month period ended June 30, 2020 (in thousands):

Goodwill at December 31, 2019	$	156,059
Foreign currency translation adjustment	(3,977)
Goodwill at June 30, 2020	$	152,082

The amount of goodwill as of June 30, 2020 allocated to the Tech-focused reporting unit was $152.1 million. The annual impairment test for the Tech-focused reporting unit, which was performed as of October 1, 2019, resulted in the fair value of the reporting unit exceeding the carrying value by 37%. During the first quarter of 2020, because of the impacts of the

COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on future earnings and cash flows for the reporting unit, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis of goodwill. The results of the analysis indicated that the fair value of the Tech-focused reporting unit was not substantially in excess of the carrying value as of March 31, 2020. The percentage by which the estimated fair value exceeded carrying value for the Tech-focused reporting unit at March 31, 2020 was less than 1%. Revenues for the Tech-focused reporting unit during the second quarter of 2020 exceeded the projections used in the March 31, 2020 analysis by 3% and operating income margin for the Company exceeded the same projections by 3 percentage points. Additionally, the Company believes those projections beyond June 30, 2020 remain the Company's best estimate. As a result, no impairment test was performed during the second quarter of 2020.

Revenue projections for the Tech-focused reporting unit declined compared to the projections used in the October 1, 2019 analysis due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenue is projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 and then increase at rates approaching industry projections. The Company’s ability to achieve these revenue projections may be impacted by, among other things, the length and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, competition in the technology recruiting market, challenges in developing and introducing new products and product enhancements to the market and the Company’s ability to attribute value delivered to customers. Future cash flows are projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of the lower revenue, but the decline will be partially offset by reductions to operating expenses. Operating expenses are projected to decline for the year ending December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, resulting in a small operating margin reduction, and then increase at levels that allow for modest operating margin improvements.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of estimates and key assumptions, particularly assumed discount rates and projections of future operating results. The discount rate applied for the Tech-focused reporting unit in the March 31, 2020 analysis was 16.5%, compared to 13.2% at October 1, 2019. An increase to the discount rate applied or reductions to future projected operating results could result in future impairment of the Tech-focused reporting unit’s goodwill. It is reasonably possible that changes in judgments, assumptions and estimates the Company made in assessing the fair value of goodwill could cause the Company to consider some portion or all of the goodwill of the Tech-focused reporting unit to become impaired. In addition, a future decline in the overall market conditions, uncertainty related to COVID-19, political instability, and/or changes in the Company’s market share could negatively impact the estimated future cash flows and discount rates used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit and could result in an impairment charge in the foreseeable future.

INDEBTEDNESS

Credit Agreement—In November 2018, the Company, together with Dice, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dice Career Solutions, Inc. (collectively, the “Borrowers”), entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which matures in November 2023, and replaced the previously existing credit agreement dated November 2015. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving loan facility of $90 million, with an expansion option up to $140 million, as permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a LIBOR rate or a base rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 1.75% to 2.50% on LIBOR loans and 0.75% to 1.50% on base rate loans, determined by the Company’s most recent consolidated leverage ratio. The Company incurs a commitment fee ranging from 0.30% to 0.45% on any unused capacity under the revolving loan facility, determined by the Company’s most recent consolidated leverage ratio. The facility may be prepaid at any time without penalty.

The Credit Agreement contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants and also contains certain financial covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. Borrowings are allowed under the Credit Agreement to the extent the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis, is equal to or less than 2.50 to 1.00. Negative covenants include restrictions on incurring certain liens; making certain payments, such as stock repurchases and dividend payments; making certain investments; making certain acquisitions; making certain dispositions; and incurring additional indebtedness. Restricted payments are allowed under the Credit Agreement to the extent the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis, is equal to or less than 2.00 to 1.00, plus an additional $5.0 million of restricted payments. The Credit Agreement also provides that the payment of obligations may be accelerated upon the occurrence of customary events of default, including, but not limited to, non-payment, change of control, or insolvency. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by two of the Company’s U.S. based wholly-owned subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers and the guarantors and stock pledges from certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

The amounts borrowed as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Litigation

The Company is subject to various claims from taxing authorities, lawsuits and other complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records provisions for losses when claims become probable and the amounts are reasonably estimable. Although the outcome of these legal matters, except as described below and recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements, cannot be determined, it is the opinion of management that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, operations or liquidity.

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a $1.0 million liability related to a class action lawsuit regarding the applicability of provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (the "FCRA") to one of our products. The lawsuit was brought by Ian Douglas, individually, as a representative of the class and on behalf of the general public, against DHI Group, Inc. and Dice Inc. asserting six claims under the FCRA that the Company’s Open Web profiles are “consumer reports” and Dice is a “consumer reporting agency” under the FCRA, including claims pursuant to the private right of action in 15 U.S.C. Section 1681n for alleged willful violations of the FCRA. The action was originally filed in a federal district court on July 26, 2017, but as a part of the settlement process, the action was re-filed in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, California (Case No. 18CV331732). The recorded liability reflected a settlement, which was subject to a final judgment, and was paid in the third quarter of 2019. The settlement resolved all remaining claims subject to the lawsuit, and final judgment approving the settlement was entered on July 24, 2020.

Tax Contingencies

The Company operates in a number of tax jurisdictions and is routinely subject to examinations by various tax authorities with respect to income taxes and indirect taxes. The determination of the Company’s worldwide provision for taxes requires judgment and estimation. The Company has reserved for potential examination adjustments to our provision for income taxes and accrual of indirect taxes in amounts which the Company believes are reasonable.

DISPOSITION RELATED AND OTHER COSTS

In May 2017, the Company announced plans to divest a number of its online professional communities to achieve greater focus and resource allocation toward its core tech-focused business. The planned divestitures included: BioSpace (transferred majority ownership to BioSpace management on January 31, 2018 and sold the remaining interest during the second quarter of 2020), Hcareers (sold May 22, 2018), Health eCareers (sold December 4, 2017), and Rigzone (sold the RigLogix portion of the Rigzone business on February 22, 2018 and transferred majority ownership of the remaining Rigzone business to Rigzone management on August 31, 2018). Additionally, the Company ceased the Dice Europe operations on August 31, 2018 and vacated certain offices during 2018. In connection with the planned divestitures and reorganization to the tech-focused strategy, the Company incurred certain costs, including severance and retention, lease exit, business closure, professional fees related to activist shareholders, search, financial advisory, and legal services, and other costs to further these strategic objectives.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Under the 2012 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, the Company has granted stock options, restricted stock and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”) to certain employees and directors.

The Company recorded total stock based compensation expense of $1.6 million and $3.4 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $1.6 million and $3.1 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively. At June 30, 2020, there was $11.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.5 years.

Restricted Stock—Restricted stock is granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, and to non-employee members of the Company’s Board. These shares are part of the compensation plan for services provided by the employees or Board members. The closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant is used to determine the fair value of the grants. The expense related to the restricted stock grants is recorded over the vesting period as described below. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants.

The restricted stock vests in various increments either quarterly or on the anniversaries of each grant, subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date. Vesting occurs over one year for Board members and over two to four years for employees.

A summary of the status of restricted stock awards as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the changes during the periods then ended is presented below:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2020			Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

Non-vested at end of period	4,153,171	$	2.48	4,549,079	$	2.31


PSUs—PSUs are granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. These shares are granted under two compensation agreements that are for services provided by the employees. The first agreement expired and was terminated during the first quarter of 2020. Under the second agreement, the fair value of the PSUs are measured at the grant date fair value of the award, which was determined based on an analysis of the probable performance outcomes. The performance period is over one year and is based on the achievement of bookings targets during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, as defined in the agreement. The earned shares will then vest over a three year period, one-third on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, or if later, the date the Compensation Committee certifies the performance results with respect to the performance period. As of June 30, 2020, there were 1,587,607 unvested shares related to the second agreement.

There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants.

A summary of the status of PSUs as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the changes during the periods then ended is presented below:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2020			Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

Stock Options—The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This valuation model requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the expected life (the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding), the volatility of the Company’s common stock, a risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The expected life of options granted is derived from historical exercise behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of grant. The stock options vest 25% after one year, beginning on the first anniversary date of the grant, and 6.25% each quarter following the first anniversary. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants. No stock options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

A summary of the status of options previously granted as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the changes during the periods then ended, is presented below:

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus common stock equivalents, where dilutive. For the six month period ended June 30, 2020, 1.4 million dilutive shares were excluded from the computation of shares contingently issuable upon exercise as we recognized a net loss. Outstanding stock-based awards that were anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS were approximately 2.1 million and 2.0 million shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, and approximately 0.5 million and 0.6 million shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The following is a calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share and weighted-average shares outstanding (in thousands, except per share amounts):
