Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 30, 2018, Blackbaud, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release reporting unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"), using the full retrospective method of transition, which requires that the standard be applied to all periods presented. Adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not materially impact our total revenues for 2017 and 2016 and it had no impact on net cash provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities. The primary impacts of adopting ASU 2014-09 relate to the deferral of incremental commission and other costs of obtaining contracts with customers and the increase to the amortization period for those costs. Previously, the Company deferred only direct and incremental commission costs to obtain a contract and amortized those costs over the contract term, generally three years, as the revenue was recognized. Under the new standard, the Company defers all incremental commission and related fringe benefit costs to obtain a contract and amortizes these costs in a manner that aligns with the expected period of benefit, which was determined to be five years.

On April 30, 2018, the Company made an investor presentation accessible via the Investor Relations section of its website that includes the following unaudited historical financial information, which has been adjusted to reflect the adoption of ASU 2014-09:
historical consolidated balance sheets as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and interim consolidated balance sheets for each of the quarters within fiscal 2018 and 2017;
historical consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income for each of the quarters within fiscal 2018 and 2017;
historical consolidated statements of cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and interim consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the interim year-to-date periods within fiscal 2018 and 2017; and
historical non-GAAP financial measures for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and for each of the quarters within fiscal 2018 and 2017 as well as reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures and related non-GAAP adjustments.
A copy of the adjusted unaudited historical financial information and non-GAAP financial measures is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
The information in this Form 8-K (including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
