Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the section titled “Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” in Part I, Item 2, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements consist of, among other things, trend analyses, statements regarding future events, future financial performance, our anticipated growth, the effect of general economic and market conditions, our business strategy and our plan to build and grow our business, our operating results, our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and technologies, the effect of foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations on our financial results, the impact of expensing stock-based compensation, the sufficiency of our capital resources, our ability to meet our ongoing debt and obligations as they become due, and potential litigation involving us, all of which are based on current expectations, estimates, and forecasts, and the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “aims,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “believes,” “estimates,” “seeks,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are also intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations expressed in the report include: general economic risks; lengthy sales and implementation cycles, particularly in larger organizations; uncertainty regarding increased business and renewals from existing customers; continued success in sales growth; management of integration of recently acquired companies and other risks associated with acquisitions; the ability to attract and retain key personnel; risks associated with successful implementation of multiple integrated software products; risks related to our dividend policy and stock repurchase program, including potential limitations on our ability to grow and the possibility that we might discontinue payment of dividends; risks relating to restrictions imposed by our credit facility; risks associated with management of growth; technological changes that make our products and services less competitive; and the other risk factors set forth from time to time in our SEC filings. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those summarized under Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and our quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent our management's beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we do not intend, and undertake no obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

1. Organization
We provide cloud-based and on-premise software solutions and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations. Our products and services enable nonprofit organizations to increase donations, reduce fundraising costs, improve communications with constituents, manage their finances and optimize internal operations. As of September 30, 2013, we had over 29,000 active customers distributed across multiple verticals within the nonprofit market including education, foundations, health and human services, religion, arts and cultural, public and societal benefits, environment and animal welfare, as well as international foreign affairs.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial reporting. These consolidated statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to state fairly the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, or any other future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations for interim reporting of the SEC. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and other forms filed with the SEC from time to time.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Blackbaud, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we reconsider and evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those that impact revenue recognition, long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill, stock-based compensation, the provision for income taxes, capitalization of software development costs, our allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts, deferred sales commissions, accounting for business combinations and loss contingencies. Changes in the facts or circumstances underlying these estimates could result in material changes and actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Revenue recognition
Our revenue is primarily generated from the following sources: (i) charging for the use of our software products in a hosted environment; (ii) selling perpetual licenses of our software products; (iii) providing professional services including implementation, training, consulting, analytic, hosting and other services; and (iv) providing software maintenance and support services.
We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are met:
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
The product or services have been delivered;

The fee is fixed or determinable; and
Collection of the resulting receivable is probable.
Determining whether and when these criteria have been met can require significant judgment and estimates. We deem acceptance of an agreement to be evidence of an arrangement. Delivery of our services occurs when the services have been performed. Delivery of our products occurs when the product is shipped or transmitted, and title and risk of loss have transferred to the customers. Our typical agreements do not include customer acceptance provisions; however, if acceptance provisions are provided, delivery is deemed to occur upon acceptance. We consider the fee to be fixed or determinable unless the fee is subject to refund or adjustment or is not payable within our standard payment terms. Payment terms greater than 90 days are considered to be beyond our customary payment terms. Collection is deemed probable if we expect that the customer will be able to pay amounts under the arrangement as they become due. If we determine that collection is not probable, we defer revenue recognition until collection. Revenue is recognized net of sales returns and allowances.
We follow guidance provided in ASC 605-45, Principal Agent Considerations, which states that determining whether a company should recognize revenue based on the gross amount billed to a customer or the net amount retained is a matter of judgment that depends on the facts and circumstances of the arrangement and that certain factors should be considered in the evaluation.
Subscriptions
We provide hosting services to customers who have purchased perpetual rights to certain of our software products (hosting services). Revenue from hosting services, as well as data enrichment services, data management services and online training programs, is recognized ratably beginning on the activation date over the term of the agreement, which generally ranges from one to three years. Any related set-up fees are recognized ratably over the estimated period that the customer benefits from the related hosting service.
We make certain of our software products available for use in hosted application arrangements without licensing perpetual rights to the software (hosted applications). Revenue from hosted applications is recognized ratably beginning on the activation date over the term of the agreement, which generally ranges from one to three years. Any revenue related to upfront activation, set-up or implementation fees is recognized ratably over the estimated period that the customer benefits from the related hosted application. Direct and incremental costs relating to activation, set-up and implementation for hosted applications are capitalized until the hosted application is deployed and in use, and then expensed over the estimated period that the customer benefits from the related hosted application.
For arrangements that have multiple elements and do not include software licenses, we allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of the arrangement to those elements that qualify as separate units of accounting. The arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on relative selling price method in accordance with the selling price hierarchy, which includes: (i) vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available; (ii) third-party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available; and (iii) best estimate of selling price (BESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. In general, we use VSOE to allocate the selling price to subscription and service deliverables.
We offer certain payment processing services with the assistance of third-party vendors. When we are the primary obligor in a transaction, have latitude in establishing prices and are the party determining the service specifications or have several but not all of these indicators, we record the revenue on a gross basis. Otherwise, we record revenue associated with the related subscribers on a net basis, netting the cost of revenue associated with the service against the gross amount billed the customer and record the net amount as revenue.
Revenue from transaction processing fees is recognized when the service is provided and the amounts are determinable. Revenue directly associated with processing donations for customers are included in subscriptions revenue, net of related transaction costs.
License fees
We sell software licenses with maintenance, varying levels of professional services and, in certain instances, with hosting services. We allocate revenue to each of the elements in these arrangements using the residual method under which we first allocate revenue to the undelivered elements, typically the non-software license components, based on objective evidence of the

fair value of the various elements. We determine the fair value of the various elements using different methods. Fair value for maintenance services associated with software licenses is based upon renewal rates stated in the agreements with customers, which vary according to the level of support service provided under the maintenance program. Fair value of professional services and other products and services is based on sales of these products and services to other customers when sold on a stand-alone basis. Any remaining revenue is allocated to the delivered elements which is normally the software license in the arrangement.
When a software license is sold with software customization services, generally the services are to provide customer support for assistance in creating special reports and other enhancements that will assist with efforts to improve operational efficiency and/or to support business process improvements. These services are generally not essential to the functionality of the software. However, when software customization services are considered essential to the functionality of the software, we recognize revenue for both the software license and the services using the percentage-of-completion method.
Services
We generally bill consulting, installation and implementation services based on hourly rates plus reimbursable travel-related expenses. Revenue is recognized for these services over the period the services are performed.
We recognize analytic services revenue from donor prospect research engagements, the sale of lists of potential donors, benchmarking studies and data modeling service engagements upon delivery. In arrangements where we provide customers the right to updates to the lists during the contract period, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period.
We sell training at a fixed rate for each specific class at a per attendee price or at a packaged price for several attendees, and recognize the related revenue upon the customer attending and completing training. Additionally, we sell fixed-rate programs, which permit customers to attend unlimited training over a specified contract period, typically one year, subject to certain restrictions, and revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period.
Maintenance
We recognize revenue from maintenance services ratably over the contract term, typically one year. Maintenance contracts are at rates that vary according to the level of the maintenance program and are generally renewable annually. Maintenance contracts also include the right to unspecified product upgrades on an if-and-when available basis. Certain support services are sold in prepaid units of time and recognized as revenue upon their usage.
Deferred revenue
To the extent that our customers are billed for the above described services in advance of delivery, we record such amounts in deferred revenue.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2013, we adopted ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires that entities provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, entities are required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, entities are required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We have presented the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in Note 8 and Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2013, we adopted ASU 2012-02, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, which simplifies how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU 2012-02 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test currently required by ASC Topic 350-30 on general intangibles other than goodwill. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. Under ASU 2013-11, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. We do not anticipate any material impact from the adoption of ASU 2013-11.
3. Business combinations
Convio
In May 2012, we completed our acquisition of Convio, Inc. (Convio), for approximately $329.8 million in cash consideration and the assumption of unvested equity awards valued at approximately $5.9 million, for a total of $335.7 million. Convio was a leading provider of on-demand constituent engagement solutions that enabled nonprofit organizations to more effectively raise funds, advocate for change and cultivate relationships. The acquisition of Convio expands our subscription and online offerings and accelerates our evolution to a subscription-based revenue model. As a result of the acquisition, Convio has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. The results of operations of Convio are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Because we have integrated a substantial amount of the Convio operations and have made product rationalization decisions, it is not possible to determine the revenue and operating costs attributable solely to the acquired business. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we incurred $6.4 million of acquisition-related costs associated with the acquisition of Convio, which were recorded in general and administrative expense.
We financed the acquisition of Convio through cash on hand and borrowings of $312.0 million under our credit facility. In connection with closing the Convio acquisition, we designated Convio as a material domestic subsidiary under our credit facility. As a material domestic subsidiary, Convio guarantees amounts outstanding under the credit facility and pledges certain stock of its subsidiaries.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed:

The estimated fair value of accounts receivable acquired approximates the contractual value of $12.8 million. The goodwill recognized was attributable primarily to the assembled workforce of Convio and the opportunities for expected synergies. None of the goodwill arising in the acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes. The estimated amount of goodwill assigned to the Enterprise Customer Business Unit and the General Markets Business Unit reporting segments was $124.8 million, and $48.5 million, respectively.

The fair value of the intangible assets was based on the income approach, cost approach, relief of royalty rate method and excess earnings methods. Customer relationships are amortized on an accelerated basis. Marketing assets, acquired technology and non-compete agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis. In-process research and development was placed into service subsequent to the time of acquisition and is amortized on a straight-line basis from the time of being placed into service over a weighted average amortization period of seven years.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated results of operations assume that the acquisition of Convio occurred on January 1, 2012. This unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect any adjustments for anticipated synergies resulting from the acquisition and should not be relied upon as being indicative of the historical results that would have been attained had the transaction been consummated as of January 1, 2012, or of the results that may occur in the future.

4. Earnings per share
We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, settlement of stock appreciation rights and vesting of restricted stock awards and units.

7. Debt
Credit facility
We have a five-year $325.0 million credit facility which includes the following facilities: (i) a dollar and a designated currency revolving credit facility with sublimits for letters of credit and swingline loans, and (ii) a delayed draw term loan. The credit facility is secured by the stock and limited liability company interests of certain of our subsidiaries and is guaranteed by our material domestic subsidiaries.
Amounts borrowed under the dollar tranche revolving credit loans and delayed draw term loans under the credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, (a) Base Rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) one month LIBOR plus 1%, in addition to a margin of 0.25% to 1.25%, or (b) LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.25%. Swingline loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus a margin of 0.25% to 1.25% or such other rate agreed to between the Swingline lender and us. Designated currency tranche revolving credit loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR rate for the applicable currency plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.25%. The exact amount of any margin depends on the nature of the loan and our leverage ratio.
We also pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility from 0.20% to 0.35% per annum, depending on our leverage ratio. At September 30, 2013, the commitment fee was 0.28%.
The term loans under our credit facility require periodic principal payments. The balance of the term loans and any amounts drawn on the revolving credit loans are due upon maturity of the credit facility in February 2017. We evaluate the classification of our debt based on the required annual maturities of our credit facility.
The credit facility includes financial covenants related to the leverage ratio and interest ratio, as well as restrictions on the maximum amount of annual capital expenditures, our ability to declare and pay dividends and our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock. At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with our debt covenants under the credit facility.

We believe the carrying amount of our credit facility approximates its fair value at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, due to the variable rate nature of the debt. As LIBOR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals, it is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
As of September 30, 2013, the required annual maturities related to our credit facility were as follows:

Deferred financing costs
In February 2012, we amended and restated our credit facility to increase our borrowing capacity. In connection with our amended and restated credit facility we paid $2.4 million of financing costs. These costs together with a portion of the unamortized financing costs from our previous credit facility are being amortized over the term of the new facility. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, deferred financing costs totaling $2.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively, are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
8. Derivative instruments
We use derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk. We have two interest rate swap agreements which effectively convert portions of our variable rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed rate for the terms of the swap agreements. The aggregate notional value of the swap agreements was $150.0 million with effective dates beginning in May 2012 through January 2017. We designated the swap agreements as cash flow hedges at the inception of the contracts.

We recognize income tax expense or benefit within accumulated other comprehensive loss each reporting period based on the change in fair value of our derivative instruments. The income tax benefit recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss was $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The income tax benefit recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased $0.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The income tax benefit recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss was $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectfully. There was no ineffective portion of our interest rate swaps during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
9. Commitments and contingencies
Leases
We lease our headquarters facility under a 15-year lease agreement which was entered into in October 2008, and has two five-year renewal options. The current annual base rent of the lease is $4.0 million payable in equal monthly installments. The base rent escalates annually at a rate equal to the change in the consumer price index, as defined in the agreement, but not to exceed 5.5% in any year.
With our acquisition of Convio, we assumed a lease for office space in Austin, Texas which terminates on September 30, 2023, and has two five-year renewal options. Under the terms of the lease, we will increase our leased space by approximately 20,000 square feet on July 31, 2016. The current annual base rent of the lease is $2.2 million. The terms of the agreement include a rent holiday during the first year and base rent that escalates annually thereafter between 2% and 4%. The related rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the length of the lease term. We have a standby letter of credit of $2.0 million for a security deposit for this lease.
We have provisions in our leases that entitle us to aggregate leasehold improvement allowances of $9.5 million. These amounts will be recorded as a reduction to rent expense ratably over the terms of the leases. Rent expense was reduced related to these lease provisions by $0.1 million and $0.4 million, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and by $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The leasehold improvement allowances have been included in the table of operating lease commitments below as a reduction in our lease commitments ratably over the then remaining terms of the leases. The timing of the reimbursements for the actual leasehold improvements may vary from the amounts reflected in the table below.
Additionally, we have subleased portions of our facilities under various agreements extending through 2013. The reduction in rent expense related to these agreements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was not material to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Rent expense was reduced by $0.1 million and $0.3 million related to these agreements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
We have also received, and expect to receive through 2016, quarterly South Carolina state incentive payments as a result of locating our headquarters facility in Berkeley County, South Carolina. These amounts are recorded as a reduction of rent expense and were $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $1.6 million and $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total rent expense was

$2.2 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $6.7 million and $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Additionally, we lease various office space and equipment under operating leases. We also have various non-cancelable capital leases for computer equipment and furniture that are not significant.
As of September 30, 2013, the future minimum lease commitments related to lease agreements, net of related sublease commitments and lease incentives, were as follows:

Other commitments
We utilize third-party relationships in conjunction with our products and services, with contractual arrangements varying in length from one to three years. In certain cases, these arrangements require a minimum annual purchase commitment. As of September 30, 2013, the remaining aggregate minimum purchase commitment under these arrangements was approximately $13.9 million through 2016. We incurred expense under these arrangements of $1.4 million and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Legal contingencies
We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We record an accrual for a contingency when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe the amount of potential liability with respect to these actions will have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
10. Income taxes
Our effective tax rates including the effects of period-specific events, were:
  
Three months ended September 30,
 
 
Nine months ended September 30,
 
 
2013

 
2012

2012

Effective tax rate
43.0
%
 
39.0
%
 
41.7
%
 
44.6
%
The increase in the effective tax rate during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was due to an increase in nondeductible compensation of certain executive officers, a reduction in the 2012 benefit from research and development credits, and an increase in the proportional earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012 relative to the estimated full year earnings for the respective periods.
The decrease in the effective tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily due to an increase in the benefit from research and development credits and a decrease in nondeductible acquisition costs, partially offset by an increase in nondeductible compensation of certain executive officers and an increase in pretax income. The research and development credits were reinstated in January 2013 with retrospective application to the 2012 tax year. The provision for income taxes differs from the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35.0% due primarily to research and development tax credits, which were partially offset by foreign loss jurisdictions where we have

determined a valuation allowance is appropriate, as well as state taxes. Our effective income tax rate may fluctuate quarterly as a result of factors, including transactions entered into, changes in the geographic distribution of our earnings or losses, our assessment of certain tax contingencies, valuation allowances, and changes in tax law in jurisdictions where we conduct business.
We have deferred tax assets for federal, state, and international net operating loss carryforwards and state tax credits. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards are subject to various Internal Revenue Code limitations and applicable state tax laws. The foreign net operating loss carryforwards, a portion of the state net operating loss carryforwards and a portion of state tax credits have a valuation reserve due to the uncertainty of realizing such carryforwards and credits in the future.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefit that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate, was $4.0 million at September 30, 2013 and $3.8 million at December 31, 2012.
11. Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation expense is allocated to cost of revenue and operating expenses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income based on the revenue stream to which the employee contributes. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense:

13. Segment information
As of September 30, 2013, our reportable segments were the Enterprise Customer Business Unit, or the ECBU, the General Markets Business Unit, or the GMBU, the International Business Unit, or the IBU, and Target Analytics. Following is a description of each reportable segment:
The ECBU is focused on marketing, sales, delivery and support to large and/or strategic customers, specifically identified prospects and customers in North America;

The GMBU is focused on marketing, sales, delivery and support to all emerging and mid-sized prospects and customers in North America;

The IBU is focused on marketing, sales, delivery and support to all prospects and customers outside of North America; and

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

14. Restructuring
During 2012, in an effort to consolidate our operating locations, we decided not to renew our lease for office space in San Diego, CA, which matured on June 30, 2013. As a result, we initiated a plan to transition most of our operations based in San Diego, CA to our Austin, TX location, which we substantially completed in June 2013 when the lease matured.

Item 2. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations


The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and financial performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those set forth under “Safe Harbor Cautionary Statement” at the beginning of this report and elsewhere in this report, that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical or anticipated results. Except as required by law, we do not intend, and undertake no obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
Executive summary
We provide cloud-based and on-premise software solutions and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations. Our products and services enable nonprofit organizations to increase donations, reduce fundraising costs, improve communications with constituents, manage their finances and optimize internal operations. We continue to make investments in our product portfolio and go-to-market organization to ensure we are properly positioned to benefit from shifts in the market, including demand for our subscription-based offerings. As of September 30, 2013, we had over 29,000 active customers distributed across multiple verticals within the nonprofit market including education, foundations, health and human services, religion, arts and cultural, public and societal benefits, environment and animal welfare, as well as international foreign affairs.
We derive revenue from charging for the use of our software products in a hosted environment, selling perpetual licenses and providing a broad offering of services, including consulting, training, installation and implementation services, as well as ongoing customer support and maintenance. Consulting, training and implementation are generally not essential to the functionality of our software products and are sold separately. Furthermore, we derive revenue from providing hosting services, performing donor prospect research engagements, selling lists of potential donors, and providing transaction processing services, benchmarking studies and data modeling services.

In August 2013, we announced that Anthony Boor, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Blackbaud, had been named to the additional role of Interim President and Chief Executive Officer until a permanent CEO is appointed. Mr. Boor has continued to maintain his responsibilities as CFO. Our Board of Directors has a search underway for a permanent CEO.
We completed our acquisition of Convio in May 2012 for $335.7 million in consideration. We have included the results of operations of Convio in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition, which impacts the comparability of our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. Because we have integrated a substantial amount of the Convio operations and have made product rationalization decisions, it is not possible to determine the revenue and operating costs attributable solely to the acquired business.
Overall, revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased 4% and 13% when compared to the same periods in 2012, respectively. These increases were primarily the result of growth in demand for our online and hosted solutions, including Luminate Online, as our business continues to shift towards subscription-based offerings. An increase in the volume of transactions for which we process payments also contributed to the increase in subscription revenue. Services revenue increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to growth in consulting service revenue, driven by the inclusion of Convio. License revenue decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods in 2012 as a result of a smaller contribution of revenue from sales of our offerings under perpetual license arrangements as well as the continued shift in our business from perpetual license-based offerings to subscription-based offerings.
Income from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased by $11.8 million and $27.3 million when compared to the same periods in 2012, respectively. These increases in income from operations were primarily attributable to the inclusion of Convio's subscription-based offerings, which have historically yielded higher gross margins than our historical subscription-based offerings, an increase in demand for our online fundraising offerings and our payment processing services, which have also historically yielded higher gross margins than our other offerings and a reduction in costs from improved operational efficiencies as we integrated the Convio operations. Also contributing to the increases in income from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 were net decreases of $2.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively, in costs associated with our acquisition of Convio related to transaction

and integration costs and amortization of acquired intangibles as well as decreases of $0.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in costs related to strategic investments we made during 2012 for our business optimization efforts and the re-engineering of our accounting processes. These increases in income from operations were partially offset by $1.0 million and $2.1 million of incremental costs incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, associated with our CEO search and CEO severance.
At September 30, 2013, our cash and cash equivalents were $16.7 million and outstanding borrowings on our credit facility were $173.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we generated $78.0 million in cash flow from operations, paid $16.5 million in dividends, used $13.4 million to purchase computer equipment and software and reduced our debt balance by $41.8 million.
During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we continued to experience growth in overall revenue primarily driven by the inclusion of Convio's product offerings and the growing demand for our subscription-based offerings. However, we continue to believe that the pace and impact of economic recovery on the nonprofit market remains uncertain. Notwithstanding these conditions, we plan to further increase our focus on subscription-based offerings as we execute on our key growth initiatives and strengthen our leadership position, while achieving our targeted level of profitability. In the near term, we anticipate there will continue to be a dilutive impact on our profitability as we invest in our product portfolio to meet demand for our subscription offerings and shift from a perpetual license-based model, with upfront revenue recognition to a subscription-based model, with recognition of revenue occurring ratably over the subscription term.
We also plan to continue to invest in our product, sales and marketing organizations and our back-office processes; the infrastructure that supports our subscription-based offerings and certain product development initiatives to achieve optimal scalability of our operations as we execute on our key growth initiatives.
Comparison of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012
Results of operations
We completed the acquisition of Convio on May 4, 2012. Because we have integrated a substantial amount of the Convio operations and have made product rationalization decisions, it is not possible to determine the revenue and operating costs attributable solely to the acquired business.
We have included the results of operations of Convio in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition, which impacts the comparability of our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. We have noted in the discussion below, to the extent meaningful, the impact on the comparability of our consolidated results of operations due to the inclusion of Convio.

The increases in revenue for ECBU and GMBU during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods in 2012 were primarily attributable to growth in subscriptions revenue as a result of the inclusion of Luminate Online, previously a Convio product, and an increase in the volume of transactions for which we process payments. Also contributing to the growth in GMBU revenue was the continued increase in demand for our online and hosted solutions as our

business shifts towards subscription-based offerings. Also contributing to the growth in ECBU revenue was an increase in revenue from our Blackbaud CRM hosting services.

IBU revenue increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods in 2012 primarily due to incremental subscriptions revenue. The growth in IBU subscriptions revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in demand for our online and hosted fundraising solutions including eTapestry, Everyday Hero and the Raiser's Edge. Also contributing to the increase in IBU subscriptions revenue was an increase in variable transaction fees associated with the use of our products to fundraise online.

Target Analytics revenue growth during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods in 2012 was primarily the result of an increase in demand for our prospect research offerings and improved sales execution driven by our new sales leadership team.

We derive license fees revenue from the sale of our software products under a perpetual license agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, revenue from license fees decreased as a result of smaller contributions of revenue from our Blackbaud CRM, Education Edge and Raiser's Edge offerings when compared to the same periods in 2012. Our larger perpetual license transactions, such as those for Blackbaud CRM, have long sales cycles and their timing can result in significant period-to-period variations in revenue. Additionally, we continue to meet the demand of our emerging and mid-sized customers’ that increasingly prefer subscription-based hosted applications instead of solutions offered under traditional on-premise perpetual license arrangements. Also contributing to the decreases in revenue from license fees was a change in presentation from gross to net for revenue and costs associated with certain third-party software arrangements that had changes in contractual terms effective January 2013. The net revenue attributable to these third-party software arrangements has been included in "Other revenue" for 2013.
Cost of license fees is primarily comprised of third-party software royalties, variable reseller commissions, amortization of software development costs and amortization of intangibles from business combinations. The decrease in cost of license fees during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods in 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in third-party software royalties resulting from a change in presentation from gross to net for revenue and costs associated with certain third-party software arrangements that had changes in contractual terms effective January 2013.
The increase in license fees gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily due to the large reduction in third-party software royalties recorded in cost of license fees relative to the decrease in license fees revenue, which resulted from the change in presentation from gross to net for revenue and costs discussed above. License fees gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 remained relatively unchanged.

Revenue from subscriptions is primarily comprised of revenue from charging for the use of our software products, which includes providing access to hosted applications and hosting services, access to certain data services and our online subscription training offerings, as well as revenue from variable transaction fees associated with the use of our products to fundraise online. We continue to experience growth in sales of our hosted applications and hosting services as we meet the demand of our emerging and mid-sized customers that increasingly prefer subscription-based offerings.

The increase in subscriptions revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods in 2012 was primarily attributable to an increase in demand for our online fundraising offerings, including Luminate Online, previously a Convio product. Also contributing to the growth in subscriptions revenue was an increase in the volume of transactions for which we process payments.
Cost of subscriptions is primarily comprised of human resource costs, stock-based compensation expense, third-party royalty and data expenses, hosting expenses, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, amortization of intangibles from business combinations and other costs incurred in providing support and services to our customers. The increase in cost of subscriptions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods in 2012 was primarily attributable to increases in amortization of intangibles from business combinations, hosting costs, human resource costs and allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs.
Amortization of intangibles from business combinations increased by $0.6 million and $6.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods in 2012, respectively. The increase in amortization expense during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily the result of an adjustment to the purchase price allocation for Convio recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in amortization during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily due to the inclusion of Convio.
Hosting costs increased by $1.0 million and $2.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods in 2012, respectively. Human resource costs increased $0.5 million and $2.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods in 2012, respectively. Allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs increased by $0.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods in 2012. The increases in hosting costs, human resource costs and allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 were primarily a result of investments made to support anticipated growth in our subscription-based offerings. The increases in these costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 were primarily due to the inclusion of Convio.
Subscriptions gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 remained relatively unchanged. The increase in subscriptions gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily a result of the inclusion of Convio's subscription-based offerings for the full nine month period in 2013 compared to only five months in 2012, which have historically yielded higher gross margins than our historical subscription-based offerings. Also contributing to the increase in subscriptions gross margin was an increase in transaction revenue associated with our payment processing services, which have also historically yielded higher gross margins than our other offerings. Partially offsetting these increases in subscriptions gross margin were investments we have made to support anticipated growth in our subscription-based offerings.

We derive services revenue from consulting, installation, implementation, education and analytic services. Consulting, installation and implementation services involve converting data from a customer’s existing system, assistance in file set up and system configuration, and/or process re-engineering. Education services involve customer training activities. Analytic services are comprised of donor prospect research, sales of lists of potential donors, benchmarking studies and data modeling services. These services involve the assessment of current and prospective donor information of the customer and are performed using our proprietary analytical tools. The end product is intended to enable organizations to more effectively target their fundraising activities. We typically recognize services revenue upon delivery. We also recognize the direct and incremental costs associated with consulting services revenue as earned. However, we continue to expense indirect costs in the period the implementation services are provided. We recognize the revenue for upfront activation fees ratably over the estimated period the customer benefits from those services.
The increase in services revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily attributable to an increase of $0.4 million in education services revenue in the 2013 period as well as the write down of $0.4 million of Convio's deferred revenue balance during the 2012 period. The increases in revenue were the result of higher demand for subscription-based training.
The increase in services revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was attributable to increases in consulting, analytic and education services revenue of $3.0 million, $1.1 and $1.3 million, respectively. Consulting services revenue increased primarily due to the inclusion of Convio for the full period in 2013 compared to only five months in 2012. Analytic services revenue increased primarily due to an increase in demand for our prospect research offerings and improved sales execution driven by our new sales leadership team. The volume of education services revenue increased due to higher demand for subscription-based training.
Cost of services is primarily comprised of human resource costs, stock-based compensation expense, third-party contractor expenses, classroom rentals, costs incurred in providing customer training, data expense incurred to perform analytic services, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs and amortization of intangibles from business combinations. The decrease in cost of services during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily attributable to a decrease in human resource costs as a result of a reduction in headcount in connection with the realignment of our workforce, which began in January 2013 and improvements in organizational efficiencies from that realignment.
The increase in cost of services during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily attributable to an increase in human resource costs, amortization of intangibles from business combinations and allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs. Human resource costs increased $3.9 million primarily as a result of an increase in average headcount and merit-based salary increases. The increase in average headcount was primarily attributable to the inclusion of additional resources from Convio for the full period in 2013 compared to only five months in 2012. Allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs increased $1.2 million due to the inclusion of allocable costs from the Convio operations as well as investments we have made in our infrastructure to make our operations more scalable. Amortization of intangibles from business combinations increased $0.4 million due to the inclusion of Convio for the full period in 2013 compared to only five months in 2012.
Services gross margin increased for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily from increases in operational efficiencies. Services gross margin decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to increases in human resource costs and allocated costs outpacing the growth of services revenue. Since our acquisition of Convio in May 2012, we have made significant progress integrating operations and realizing gross margin synergies from the combination, which is reflected in the comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2013 to the 2012 period. While this trend is applicable to the nine months ended September

Revenue from maintenance is comprised of annual fees derived from maintenance contracts associated with new software licenses and annual renewals of existing maintenance contracts. These contracts provide customers with updates, enhancements and upgrades to our software products and online, telephone and email support. Maintenance contracts are typically for a term of one year, and maintenance renewal rates in the periods reported did not vary materially compared to prior periods. The increase in maintenance revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily comprised of (i) $2.5 million of incremental maintenance from new customers associated with new license agreements and increases in contracts with existing customers; and (ii) approximately $1.1 million of incremental maintenance from contract inflationary rate adjustments; partially offset by (iii) a $2.2 million reduction in maintenance from contracts that were not renewed and reductions in contracts with existing customers; and (iv) a $0.8 million decrease in maintenance revenue attributable to a change in presentation from gross to net for revenue and costs associated with certain third-party software arrangements that had changes in contractual terms effective January 2013. The net revenue attributable to these third-party software arrangements has been included in "Other revenue" for 2013.
The increase in maintenance revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily comprised of (i) $7.5 million of incremental maintenance from new customers associated with new license agreements and increases in contracts with existing customers; and (ii) approximately $3.1 million of incremental maintenance from contract inflationary rate adjustments; partially offset by (iii) a $6.7 million reduction in maintenance from contracts that were not renewed and reductions in contracts with existing customers; and (iv) $2.5 million decrease in maintenance revenue attributable to a change in presentation from gross to net for revenue and costs associated with certain third-party software arrangements that had changes in contractual terms effective January 2013. The net revenue attributable to these third-party software arrangements has been included in "Other revenue" for 2013.
Cost of maintenance is primarily comprised of human resource costs, stock-based compensation expense, third-party contractor expenses, third-party royalty costs, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, amortization of intangibles from business combinations and other costs incurred in providing support and services to our customers. Cost of maintenance decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily as a result of decreases in proprietary software costs and allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, partially offset by an increase in human resource costs. Cost of maintenance increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to increases in human resource costs and allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, partially offset by a decrease in proprietary software costs. The increases in human resource costs were primarily due to a refinement in our methodology for allocating employee benefit costs. The decreases in proprietary software costs were primarily attributable to a change in presentation from gross to net for revenue and costs associated with certain third-party software arrangements that had changes in contractual terms effective January 2013.
Maintenance gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods in 2012 remained relatively unchanged.

Other revenue includes the sale of business forms that are used in conjunction with our software products, reimbursement of travel-related expenses primarily incurred during the performance of services at customer locations, fees from user conferences and third-party software referral fees. Other revenue increased during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to an increase in third-party software referral fees attributable to a change in presentation from gross to net for revenue and costs associated with certain third-party software arrangements that had changes in contractual terms effective January 2013.
Cost of other revenue includes human resource costs, costs of business forms, costs of user conferences, reimbursable expenses relating to the performance of services at customer locations, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs and amortization of intangibles from business combinations. Cost of other revenue decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 primarily due to fewer reimbursable expenses related to services provided at customer locations.

Sales and marketing expense includes salaries and related human resource costs, stock-based compensation expense, travel-related expenses, sales commissions, advertising and marketing materials, public relations costs and allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs.

Sales and marketing expense decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to a $1.7 million decrease in human resource costs, a $0.2 million decrease in costs for other marketing expenses and a $0.2 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense. The decrease in human resource costs was primarily due to a reduction in headcount from the realignment of our workforce, which began in January 2013.

Sales and marketing expense increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs and a $0.5 million increase in human resource costs. The increase in allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs resulted from both the inclusion of allocable costs from the Convio operations as well as investments we have made in our infrastructure to make our operations more scalable. The increase in human resource costs was primarily due to a refinement in our methodology for allocating employee benefit costs.

Research and development expense includes human resource costs, stock-based compensation expense, third-party contractor expenses, software development tools and other expenses related to developing new products, upgrading and enhancing existing products, and allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs.

Research and development expense decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to a $2.3 million decrease in human resource costs and an increase of $0.4 in the amount of software development costs that were capitalized. Human resource costs decreased primarily due to a decrease in accrued bonus costs as well as a reduction in headcount from the realignment of our workforce, which began in January 2013. Accrued bonus costs decreased due to the timing of achieving certain performance metrics.

Research and development expense increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to increased human resource costs of $2.5 million. Human resource costs increased primarily due to the inclusion of additional headcount from Convio, partially offset by an increase in the amount of software development costs that were capitalized.

Since the acquisition of Convio in May 2012, we have made significant progress integrating operations and realizing cost synergies from the combination, which is reflected in the comparison of research and development expense as a percentage of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the respective prior year periods.

General and administrative expense consists primarily of human resource costs for general corporate functions, including senior management, finance, accounting, legal, human resources, corporate development, stock-based compensation expense, third-party professional fees, insurance, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, acquisition-related expense and other administrative expenses. General and administrative expense decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to a $2.6 million decrease in acquisition integration costs and a $1.0 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in costs associated with our CEO search and CEO severance. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense was primarily attributable to the forfeiture of certain equity-based awards upon the departure of our CEO.

General and administrative expense decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to decreases in acquisition-related costs and professional fees, partially offset by increases in human resource costs and costs associated with the replacement of our CEO. Acquisition-related costs associated with our acquisition of Convio decreased $12.5 million and professional fees decreased $2.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease in professional fees was primarily due to strategic investments made in our business optimization efforts and the re-engineering of our accounting processes during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 that did not recur in the same period in 2013. Human resource costs increased $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same comparative period in 2012. The

increase in human resource costs was primarily attributable to additional headcount from Convio. We have incurred $2.1 million of incremental costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 associated with our CEO search and CEO severance.
Non-GAAP financial measures
The operating results analyzed below are presented on a non-GAAP basis. We use non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP operating margin internally in analyzing our operational performance. Accordingly, we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. While we believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies.
Non-GAAP financial measures discussed below exclude the impact of (i) the write-down of Convio's deferred revenue balance; (ii) stock-based compensation expense; (iii) amortization expense; (iv) acquisition integration costs; (v) restructuring costs; (vi) CEO severance; (vii) employee severance; (viii) acquisition-related expenses; (ix) a write-off of proprietary software licenses; and (x) impairment of cost method investment, because we believe they are not directly related to our operating performance in any particular period, but are for our long-term benefit over multiple periods. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in our business.

The increases in non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP operating margin during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods in 2012 were primarily due to (i) the inclusion of Convio's subscription-based offerings which have historically yielded higher gross margins than our historical subscription-based offerings; (ii) an increase in demand for our online fundraising offerings and our payment processing services, which have also

historically yielded higher gross margins than our other offerings; and (iii) cost synergies realized from our improved operational efficiencies as we integrated the Convio operations. Also contributing to these increases were strategic investments made for our business optimization efforts and the re-engineering of our accounting processes during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 that did not recur in the same comparative period in 2013.
Restructuring
Restructuring costs consist primarily of severance and termination benefits associated with the realignment of our workforce in response to changes in the nonprofit industry and global economy, as well as the move of our San Diego, California operations to our Austin, Texas location. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $3.5 million in before-tax restructuring charges related to these activities. We had no restructuring activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to decreases in our debt balance and the related effective interest rate. Interest expense increased $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012. This increase in interest expense was directly related to the borrowings we incurred to fund our acquisition of Convio in May 2012.

To the extent that our customers are billed for our products and services in advance of delivery, we record such amounts in deferred revenue. Deferred revenue attributable to maintenance and subscriptions increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily as a result of an increase in billings for maintenance and subscriptions renewals. We generally invoice our maintenance and subscription customers in annual cycles. The decrease in deferred revenue from services during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was mostly due to a decrease in upfront billings on consulting arrangements. The increase in deferred revenue from license fees and other was attributable to an increase in registration and sponsorship fees for our annual user conference.
Income tax provision

The increase in the effective tax rate during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was due to an increase in nondeductible compensation of certain executive officers, a reduction in the 2012 benefit from

29

Item 2. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (continued)


research and development credits, and an increase in the proportional earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 relative to the estimated full year earnings for the respective periods.
The decrease in the effective tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 was primarily due to an increase in the benefit from research and development credits and a decrease in nondeductible acquisition costs, partially offset by an increase in nondeductible compensation of certain executive officers and an increase in pretax income. The research and development credits were reinstated in January 2013 with retrospective application to the 2012 tax year. The provision for income taxes differs from the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35.0% due primarily to research and development tax credits, which were partially offset by foreign loss jurisdictions where we have determined a valuation allowance is appropriate, as well as state taxes. Our effective income tax rate may fluctuate quarterly as a result of factors, including transactions entered into, changes in the geographic distribution of our earnings or losses, our assessment of certain tax contingencies, valuation allowances, and changes in tax law in jurisdictions where we conduct business.
We have deferred tax assets for federal, state, and international net operating loss carryforwards and state tax credits. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards are subject to various Internal Revenue Code limitations and applicable state tax laws. The foreign net operating loss carryforwards, a portion of the state net operating loss carryforwards and a portion of state tax credits have a valuation reserve due to the uncertainty of realizing such carryforwards and credits in the future.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefit that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate, was $4.0 million at September 30, 2013 and $3.8 million at December 31, 2012. We recognize accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
Liquidity and capital resources
At September 30, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $16.7 million, compared to $13.5 million at December 31, 2012. The $3.2 million increase in cash and cash equivalents during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, was principally attributable to cash generated from operations of $78.0 million, partially offset by the payment of dividends of $16.5 million, the purchase of computer equipment and software of $13.4 million and a net reduction in debt of $41.8 million.
Our principal sources of liquidity are operating cash flow, funds available under our credit facility and cash on hand. Our operating cash flow depends on continued customer renewal of our maintenance, support and subscription agreements and market acceptance of our products and services. Based on current estimates of revenue and expenses, we believe that the currently available sources of funds and anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate for at least the next twelve months to finance our operations, fund anticipated capital expenditures, meet our debt obligations and pay dividends. Dividend payments are not guaranteed and our Board of Directors may decide, in its absolute discretion, at any time and for any reason, not to declare or pay further dividends and/or repurchase our common stock.
We have drawn on our credit facility from time to time to help us meet financial needs, such as business acquisitions and purchases of common stock under our repurchase program. At September 30, 2013, our available borrowing capacity under our credit facility was $127.9 million. We believe our credit facility will provide us with sufficient flexibility to meet our future financial needs. The credit facility matures in February 2017.
At September 30, 2013, we had $173.7 million of outstanding borrowings under our credit facility. Our average daily borrowings were $178.4 million and $196.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
Following is a summary of the financial covenants under our credit facility:
Financial Covenant

Ratio as of September 30, 2013
Leverage Ratio
< 2.75 to 1.0
1.64 to 1.00
Interest Coverage Ratio
> 3.50 to 1.0

Under our credit facility, we also have restrictions on the maximum amount of our annual capital expenditures, our ability to declare and pay dividends and our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock. In order to pay any cash dividends and/or repurchase shares of stock: (1) no default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing under the credit facility, and (2) we must be in compliance with the leverage ratio set forth in the credit agreement. At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under our credit facility.

Item 2. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (continued)


At September 30, 2013, our total cash and cash equivalents balance includes approximately $7.5 million of cash that was held by operations outside the U.S. While these funds may not be needed to fund our U.S. operations for at least the next 12 months, if we need these funds, we may be required to accrue and pay taxes to repatriate the funds. Our current plans anticipate repatriating undistributed earnings in Canada. We currently do not intend nor anticipate a need to repatriate our other cash held outside the U.S.
Operating cash flow
Net cash provided by operating activities of $78.0 million increased by $38.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to an increase in earnings as adjusted for non-cash transactions. Throughout both periods, our cash flows from operations were derived principally from: (i) our earnings from on-going operations prior to non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and adjustments to our provision for sales returns and allowances; (ii) the tax benefit associated with our deferred tax asset, which reduces our cash outlay for income tax expense; and (iii) changes in our working capital.
Working capital changes as they impact the statement of cash flows are composed of changes in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other liabilities and deferred revenue. Cash flow from operations associated with working capital increased $10.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012. The net increase was primarily due to timing of cash paid for taxes and a decrease in our days sales outstanding that resulted in more cash collections on accounts receivable during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012.
Investing cash flow
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we used approximately $280.5 million for the acquisition of Convio. Outside of this acquisition, cash used in investing activities was relatively unchanged year over year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we spent $13.4 million on computer equipment and software associated with the infrastructure that supports our subscription-based offerings compared to $15.4 million during the same period in 2012. The decrease in cash used for property and equipment was partially offset in the 2013 period by a $1.8 million increase in capitalized software development costs from investments in our subscription-based offerings.
Financing cash flow
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we had a net reduction in debt of $41.8 million from payments made on outstanding borrowings compared to a net increase in debt of $245.0 million, used to fund the acquisition of Convio during the 2012 comparative period. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we paid dividends of $16.5 million, which was relatively consistent with the amount paid in the comparable period of 2012.
Commitments and contingencies
As of September 30, 2013, we had future minimum commitments as follows:

Included in the table above is $11.7 million of interest. The actual interest expense recognized in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income will depend on the amount of debt, the length of time the debt is outstanding and the interest rate, which could be different from our assumptions used in the above table.
The term loans under our credit facility require periodic principal payments. The balance of the term loans and any amounts drawn on the revolving credit loans are due upon maturity of the credit facility in February 2017.

Item 2. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (continued)


We utilize third-party relationships in conjunction with our products. The contractual arrangements vary in length from one to three years. In certain cases, these arrangements require a minimum annual purchase commitment. The total remaining minimum purchase commitments under these arrangements at September 30, 2013, were approximately $13.9 million through 2016. We incurred expense under these arrangements of $1.4 million and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
In February 2013, our Board of Directors approved our annual dividend rate of $0.48 per share for 2013. Dividends at the annual rate would aggregate to $22.1 million assuming 46.0 million shares of common stock are outstanding, although dividends are not guaranteed and our Board of Directors may decide to change or suspend dividend payments at any time for any reason. Our ability to continue to declare and pay dividends quarterly this year and beyond might be restricted by, among other things, the terms of our credit facility, general economic conditions and our ability to generate adequate operating cash flow.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons.
Foreign currency exchange rates
Approximately 13% of our total net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was derived from operations outside the United States. We do not have significant operations in countries in which the economy is considered to be highly inflationary. Our consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars and, accordingly, changes in the exchange rate between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar will affect the translation of our subsidiaries’ financial results into U.S. dollars for purposes of reporting our consolidated financial results. The accumulated currency translation adjustment, recorded within other comprehensive loss as a component of stockholders’ equity, was a loss of $1.1 million and $1.2 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectfully.
The vast majority of our contracts are entered into by our U.S., Canadian or U.K. entities. The contracts entered into by the U.S. entity are almost always denominated in U.S. dollars, contracts entered into by our Canadian subsidiary are generally denominated in Canadian dollars, and contracts entered into by our U.K., Australian and Netherlands subsidiaries are generally denominated in pounds sterling, Australian dollars and Euros, respectively. Historically, as the U.S. dollar weakened, foreign currency translation resulted in an increase in our revenues and expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, foreign translation resulted in a decrease in our revenues and expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. Though we do not believe our exposure to currency exchange rates has had a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position, we intend to continue to monitor such exposure and take action as appropriate.
Critical accounting policies and estimates
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
We have market rate sensitivity for interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Our variable rate debt is our primary financial instrument with market risk exposure for changing interest rates. We manage interest rate risk through a combination of short-term and long-term borrowings and the use of derivative instruments entered into for hedging purposes. Due to the nature of our debt and the highly liquid, short-term nature and level of our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2013, we believe there is no material risk of exposure to changing interest rates for those positions. There were no significant changes in how we manage interest rate risk between December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013. For a discussion of our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, see the “Foreign currency exchange rates” section of Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in this report.
Item 4. Controls and procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) are designed only to provide reasonable assurance that they will meet their objectives. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide the reasonable assurance discussed above.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
No change in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter with respect to our operations, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
