DHI GROUP, INC.
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” or "we," "our" or "us") have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). 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, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year or any other future period.

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 three-month period ended March 31, 2024.

The Company allocates resources and assesses financial performance on a consolidated basis, as all services pertain to the Company's Tech-focused strategy. As a result, the Company has a single reportable segment, Tech-focused, which includes the Dice and ClearanceJobs brands, as well as corporate related costs. All operations are in the United States.

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. On January 1, 2023, under the modified retrospective method as required by the standard, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $0.3 million to increase accumulated earnings and reduce the allowance for doubtful accounts. Prior period amounts were not adjusted, and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the period presented.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The new accounting standard relates to disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and provides more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with retrospective application required. We are evaluating the effect of the standard on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new accounting standard requires more detailed disclosures regarding the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect of the standard on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

3. 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
7

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and long-term debt approximate their fair values. 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 as they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment. Such instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. These assets include equity investments, operating lease right-of-use assets, and 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.

4.    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 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.

Credit Losses

The Company is exposed to credit losses through the inability of its customers to make required payments on accounts receivable. The Company segments accounts receivable based on credit risk characteristics and estimates future losses for each segment based on historical trends and current market conditions, as applicable. Expected losses on accounts receivable are recorded as allowance for doubtful accounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and as an expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The portion of accounts receivable that is reflected as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets is not considered at risk for credit losses. If the financial condition of DHI’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

5.   LEASES

The Company has operating leases for corporate office space and certain equipment. The leases have original terms from one year to ten 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.

6. INVESTMENTS

eFinancialCareers

On June 30, 2021, the Company transferred majority ownership and control of its eFinancialCareers ("eFC") business to eFC's management, while retaining a 40% common share interest with zero proceeds received from the transfer. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company sold a portion of its ownership in eFC reducing its total interest in eFC from 40% to 10%. As a result of the sale, the Company received cash of $4.9 million and recognized a $0.6 million gain, which included a $0.2 million charge related to accumulated foreign currency loss that was previously a reduction to equity.

DHI GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
eFC is a financial services careers website, operating websites in multiple markets in four languages mainly across the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North America. Professionals from across many sectors of the financial services industry, including asset management, risk management, investment banking, and information technology, use eFC to advance their careers. The Company has evaluated its common share interest in the eFC 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 eFC. The investment was recorded at its fair value on June 30, 2021, the date of transfer, which was $3.6 million. The Company's equity in the net assets of eFC as of June 30, 2021 was $2.2 million. The difference between the Company's recorded value and its equity in net assets of eFC was reduced during the third quarter of 2023, as described above, as the Company reduced its ownership in eFC. The remaining basis difference at the time of sale was $0.3 million and is being amortized against the recorded value of the investment in accordance with ASC 323 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Accordingly, the Company recorded amortization of $0.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. There was no amortization recorded during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 because it was not material. The recorded value is further adjusted based on the Company's proportionate share of eFC's net income and is recorded three months in arrears. The Company recorded income related to its proportionate share of eFC's net income, net of currency translation adjustments and amortization of the basis difference, of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Other

During 2021, the Company invested $3.0 million through a subordinated convertible promissory note (the "Note") with a values-based career destination company that allows the next generation workforce to search for jobs at companies whose people, perks and values align with their unique professional needs. The investment was recorded as a trading security at fair value and was recorded at $3.0 million as of December 31, 2021.

In the third quarter of 2022, the Note was converted into preferred shares representing 4.9% of the outstanding equity in the underlying business, on a fully-diluted basis. The Company's preferred shares are substantially similar to shares purchased by a third party investor that resulted in such investor becoming the majority owner of the business. Therefore the Company's shares in the business were recorded at fair value based on the price per share realized in the conversion. The value of the Company's investment was $0.7 million as of December 31, 2022 and was recorded as an investment in the consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, the Company recognized an impairment loss during the year ended December 31, 2022 of $2.3 million.

During the third quarter of 2023, the investment's financial position deteriorated. To meet its financial obligations, the investment issued convertible debt at a price that indicated the value of the investment had declined. As such, the Company revalued its investment to $0.4 million and accordingly, recognized an impairment loss of $0.3 million during the third quarter of 2023.

During the first quarter of 2024, the investment's financial position further deteriorated. To meet its financial obligations, the investment issued additional convertible debt at a price that indicated the value of the investment had declined. As such, the Company revalued its investment to zero and accordingly, recognized an impairment loss of $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2024. The Company's ownership of the investment, on a fully diluted basis, as of March 31, 2024 is less than 1.0%.

The Company has elected the measurement alternative in accordance with FASB ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities. As of March 31, 2024, subsequent to the most recent issuance of convertible debt, it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of its interest because there were no observable transactions for the investment. Accordingly, the investment was carried at the value indicated by the convertible debt issuance as of March 31, 2024, as described above.

At March 31, 2024, the Company held preferred stock representing a 7.3% interest in the fully diluted shares of a tech skills assessment company. The investment is recorded at zero as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company recorded no gain or loss related to the investment during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

7.   ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

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
11


DHI GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 annual impairment test for the Dice.com trademarks and brand name is performed on October 1 of each year. 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.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the Company had an indefinite-lived acquired intangible asset of $23.8 million related to the Dice trademarks and brand name. No impairment was recorded during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

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 trademarks 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 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.

8.   GOODWILL

Goodwill as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, which was allocated to the Tech-focused reporting unit, was $128.1 million.

The annual impairment test for the Tech-focused reporting unit is performed on October 1 of each year. The results of the impairment test indicated that the fair value of the Tech-focused reporting unit was substantially in excess of the carrying value as of October 1, 2023. Results for the Tech-focused reporting unit for the first quarter of 2024 and estimated future results as of March 31, 2024 approximate the projections used in the October 1, 2023 analysis. As a result, the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value as of March 31, 2024. Therefore, no quantitative impairment test was performed as of March 31, 2024. No impairment was recorded during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Company’s ability to achieve the projections used in the October 1, 2023 analysis may be impacted by, among other things, general market conditions, 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. If future cash flows that are attributable to the Tech-focused reporting unit are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in a future period.

9.    INDEBTEDNESS

Credit Agreement—In June 2022, 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 Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which matures in June 2027. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving loan facility of $100 million, with an expansion option of $50 million, bringing the total facility to $150 million, as permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement. At the closing of the Credit Agreement, the Company borrowed $30 million to repay, in full, all outstanding indebtedness, including accrued interest, under the previous credit agreement. Unamortized debt issuance costs from the previous credit agreement of $0.2 million and debt issuance costs of $0.5 million related to the new agreement were recorded as other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are recorded to interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest, payable at least quarterly, at the Company’s option, at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or a base rate plus a margin. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in pounds sterling, if any, bear interest at the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% on SOFR and SONIA loans and 1.00% to 1.75% on base rate loans, determined by the Company’s most recent consolidated leverage ratio, plus an additional spread of 0.10%. The Company incurs a commitment fee ranging from 0.35% to 0.50% on any unused capacity under the revolving loan facility, determined by the Company’s most recent consolidated leverage ratio. All borrowings as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were in U.S. dollars. The facility may be prepaid at any time without penalty.
12


DHI GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Credit Agreement contains various 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 is equal to or less than 2.50 to 1.00, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. 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 $7.5 million of restricted payments each fiscal year, as described in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also provides that the payment of obligations may be accelerated upon the occurrence of events of default, including, but not limited to, non-payment, change of control, or insolvency. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers and the guarantors.

10.    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.

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 liability 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.

Stock Repurchase Plans—The Company's Board of Directors ("Board") has previously approved stock repurchase programs that permitted the Company to repurchase its common stock. Management had discretion in determining the conditions under which shares may be purchased from time to time. The number, price, structure, and timing of the repurchases, if any, were at our sole discretion and future repurchases were evaluated by us depending on market conditions, liquidity needs, restrictions under the agreements governing our indebtedness, and other factors. Share repurchases could be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase authorizations did not oblige us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock. The Board could have suspended, modified, or terminated a repurchase program at any time without prior notice.

On July 13, 2022, the stockholders of the Company approved the DHI Group, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, which had been previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors on May 13, 2022 (the "2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan"). The 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan generally mirrors the terms of the Company's prior omnibus equity award plan, which expired in accordance with its terms on April 20, 2022 (the "2012 Omnibus Equity Award Plan"). On April 26, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved the DHI Group, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, as Amended and Restated, which had been previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 16, 2023 (the "2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, as Amended and Restated"). The 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance as equity awards under the plan by 2.9 million shares. The Company has previously granted restricted stock and PSUs to certain employees and directors pursuant to the 2012 Omnibus Equity Award Plan and the 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan and will continue to grant restricted stock and PSUs to certain employees and directors pursuant to the 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, as Amended and Restated. The Company also offers an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

The Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $2.1 million and $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At March 31, 2024, there was $13.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.1 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 restricted stock grants is recorded over the vesting period as described below. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants.

Restricted stock vests in various increments 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 three years for employees.

A summary of the status of restricted stock awards as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 and the changes during the periods then ended is presented below:

The fair value of the PSUs is 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 year of grant, as defined in the applicable award 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.

There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan—On March 11, 2020 the Company's Board of Directors adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). The ESPP was approved by the Company's stockholders on April 21, 2020. The ESPP provides eligible employees the opportunity to purchase shares of the Company's common stock through payroll deductions during six-month offering periods. The purchase price per share of common stock is 85% of the lower of the closing stock price on the first or last trading day of each offering period. The offering periods are January 1 to June 30 and July 1 to December 31. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for purchase under the ESPP is 500,000, subject to adjustment as provided under the ESPP. Individual employee purchases are limited to $25,000 per calendar year, based on the fair market value of the shares on the purchase date. No shares were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

13. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate was 300% and 952% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, differed from the statutory rate due to tax expense of $1.8 million from the tax impacts of share-based compensation awards and $0.2 million from state taxes related to research and development expenditures. The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 differed from the statutory rate due to tax benefits of $0.5 million from the tax impacts of share-based compensation awards.

14.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings 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. The following is a calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share and weighted-average shares outstanding (in thousands, except per share amounts):

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, 2023.

Information contained herein contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 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 financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, including expectations (financial or otherwise), our strategy, plans, objectives, expectations (financial or otherwise) and intentions, and growth potential. 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-focused strategy; write-offs of goodwill, tradename and intangible assets; competition from existing and future competitors; changes in the recruiting and career services business and technologies, and the development of new products and services; failure to develop and maintain our reputation and brand recognition; failure to increase or maintain the number of customers who purchase recruitment packages; failure to attract qualified professionals or grow the number of qualified professionals who use our websites; inability to successfully integrate future acquisitions or identify and consummate future acquisitions; misappropriation or misuse of our intellectual property, claims against us for intellectual property infringement or the failure to enforce our ownership or use of intellectual property; failure of our businesses to attract, retain and engage users; unfavorable decisions in proceedings related to future tax assessments; taxation risks in various jurisdictions for past or future sales; significant downturn not immediately reflected in our operating results; our indebtedness and the potential inability to borrow funds under our Credit Agreement (as defined below); our ability to incur additional debt; covenants in our Credit Agreement; the development and use of artificial intelligence; failure to timely and efficiently scale and adapt our existing technology and network infrastructure; capacity constraints, systems failures or breaches of network security; the usefulness of our candidate profiles; decrease in user engagement; Internet search engine methodologies and their impact on our search result rankings; failure to halt the operations of websites that aggregate our data, as well as data from other companies; our reliance on third-party data hosting facilities; compliance with laws and regulations concerning collection, storage and use of professionals’ professional and personal information; U.S. regulation of the internet; a review of strategic alternatives may occur from time to
17


time and the possibility that such review will not result in a transaction; loss of key executives and technical personnel and our ability to attract and retain key executives, including our CEO; increases in the unemployment rate, cyclicality or downturns in the United States or worldwide economies or the industries we serve, labor shortages, or job shortages; litigation related to infringement or other claims regarding our services or content; our ability to defend ownership of our intellectual property; global climate change; compliance with changing corporate governance requirements and costs incurred in connection with being a public company; compliance with the continued listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange; volatility in our stock price; failure to maintain internal controls over financial reporting; results of operations fluctuating on a quarterly and annual basis; and disruption resulting from unsolicited offers to purchase the company. 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, 2023, under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

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.

In addition, information contained herein contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). 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 mostly directly comparable GAAP measure.

Overview

We are a provider of software products, online tools and services that deliver career marketplaces to candidates and employers in the United States. DHI’s brands, Dice and ClearanceJobs, enable recruiters and hiring managers to efficiently search, match and connect with highly skilled technologists in specialized fields, particularly technology and active government security clearance. 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 or have active government security clearances. 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.

We have been in the recruiting and career development business for over 30 years. Based on our operating structure, we have identified one reportable segment, Tech-focused, which includes the Dice and ClearanceJobs businesses and corporate related costs. The Dice and ClearanceJobs businesses and corporate related costs are aggregated into the Tech-focused reportable segment primarily because the Company does not have discrete financial information for those brands or costs.

Our Revenue and Expenses

We derive the majority of our revenue 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, which are predominately annual agreements. Our Company sells recruitment packages, which comprise greater than 90% or our total revenue, 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 and ClearanceJobs recruitment package customers and the revenue, on average, that these customers generate. The Company's management uses these metrics to monitor the current and future activity of the businesses. The tables below detail this customer data.

(1) Calculated by dividing recruitment package customer revenue by the daily average count of recruitment package customers during each month, adjusted to reflect a 30-day month. The simple average of each month is used to derive the amount for each period and then annualized to reflect 12 months.

Dice had 5,250 recruitment package customers as of March 31, 2024, which was a decrease of 921, or 15%, and average annual revenue per recruitment package customer for Dice increased $325, or 2%, from the prior year quarter. The decrease in recruitment package customers was due to macroeconomic conditions causing customer counts to decline while the average annual revenue per recruitment package customer increased driven by strong retention rates as our larger recurring customers continue to renew with Dice. ClearanceJobs had 2,032 recruitment package customers as of March 31, 2024 compared to 2,078 as of March 31, 2023, a decrease of 2%, and average annual revenue per recruitment package customer increased $2,530, or 12%, from the prior year quarter. The increased revenue per recruitment package customer for ClearanceJobs was due to continued high demand for professionals with government security clearance and consistent product releases and enhancements driving activity on the site. The lower customer count was the result of uncertainty among ClearanceJob's smaller customers related to a possible government shutdown, which could delay payments to government contractors.

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 is as follows:

Comparison to Prior Year EndComparison Year Over Year
3/31/202412/31/2023Increase (Decrease)Percent Change3/31/2023Increase (Decrease)Percent Change
Deferred Revenue$55,716 $49,971 $5,745 11 %$58,844 $(3,128)(5)%

Backlog(1)
$114,541 $108,097 $6,444 %$124,233 $(9,692)(8)%
(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 March 31, 2024 increased $6.4 million from December 31, 2023 but decreased $9.7 million from March 31, 2023. The increase in backlog compared to December 31, 2023 is primarily due to the seasonally higher bookings in the first quarter of each year. The decrease in backlog compared to March 31, 2023 is due to macroeconomic conditions causing lower demand for the Company's services.

Our contracts are subject to delay or default and contracts in the Company's backlog are subject to changes in the scope of services to be provided as well as adjustments to the costs relating to the applicable contracts. Backlog may also be affected by, among other things, external market and economic factors beyond our control. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the entirety of our backlog will be realized. The timing of new contracts and the mix of services can significantly affect backlog. Backlog at any given point in time may not accurately represent the future revenue that may be realized and should not be relied upon as a stand-alone indicator of future revenues.
19


To a lesser extent, we also generate revenue from advertising on our various websites, employer branding solutions 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 customers. Employer branding pages provide an opportunity for customers to promote company culture and values to candidates.

The Company continues to evolve and present new software products and features to attract and engage qualified professionals and match them with employers. Our ability to grow our revenue 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 in the table below.

ClearanceJobs LiveClearanceJobs Comments, ClearanceJobs Expressed Interest, ClearanceJobs Enhanced Employer Profile, ClearanceJobs Mobile App

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 for 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 in our statement of operations based on each employee’s principal function. 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows

A summary of our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 follows (in thousands):
 Three Months Ended March 31,
20242023
Cash from operating activities$2,087 $11 
Cash used in investing activities$(4,442)$(4,833)
Cash from financing activities$1,389 $7,184 

We have financed our operations primarily through cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2024, we had cash of $3.2 million compared to $4.2 million at December 31, 2023.

Liquidity

Our principal internal sources of liquidity are cash, as well as the cash flow that we generate from our operations. In addition, we had $50.5 million in borrowing capacity under our $100.0 million Credit Agreement, as defined below, at March 31, 2024. Borrowings are 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 cash, cash generated from our continuing 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.
23


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. 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, income from equity method investments, gain or impairments on investments, and the effect of changes in working capital. Net cash flows from operating activities were $2.1 million and $0.0 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash inflow from operations is driven by earnings and is dependent on the amount and timing of payments to vendors and employees and billings to and cash collections from our customers. Cash provided by operating activities during the 2024 period increased $2.1 million compared to the same period of 2023 due to lower people costs, including lower payments for bonus, wages and commissions and the timing of payments to vendors. The reductions were partially offset by lower billings to and cash collections from our customers.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 was $4.4 million compared to $4.8 million used in the same period of 2023. Cash used in investing activities in the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 is comprised of $3.4 million of capitalized development costs, and $0.9 million of costs associated with the Company's office space. Cash used in investing activities in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 is comprised of $4.6 million of capitalized development costs. The $1.2 million reduction in capitalized development costs is due to the restructuring completed in the second quarter of 2023.

Financing Activities

Cash from financing activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 was $1.4 million and was driven by $3.0 million of net proceeds on long-term debt, partially offset by $1.6 million related to share repurchases. Cash from financing activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 was $7.2 million and was driven by $16.0 million of net proceeds on long-term debt, partially offset by $8.8 million related to share repurchases.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have provided certain non-GAAP financial information as additional information for our operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or alternatives to 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. In addition, the Company’s management uses these measures for reviewing the financial results of the Company and for budgeting and planning purposes. Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of items that management believes affect the comparability or underlying business trends in our condensed consolidated financial statements in the periods presented. The non-GAAP measures apply to consolidated results or other measures as shown within this document. The Company has provided required reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures below.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures used by management to measure operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as performance measures 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 these measures 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, and items such as non-cash stock-based compensation expense, losses resulting from certain dispositions outside the ordinary course of business including prior negative operating results of those divested businesses, certain write-offs 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, losses from equity method investments, transaction costs in connection with the credit agreement, deferred revenue written off in connection with acquisition purchase accounting adjustments, write-off of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, impairment of investment, severance and retention costs related to dispositions and reorganizations of the Company, restructuring charges 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, including income from equity method investments, interest income, business interruption insurance proceeds, and gains related to legal claims that are unusual in nature or infrequent.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is computed as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
We also consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as defined above, to be important indicators to investors because they provide information related to our ability to provide cash flows to meet future debt service, capital expenditures, working capital requirements, and to fund future growth. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as supplemental performance measures because we believe that these measures provide our Board of Directors (the "Board"), management and investors with additional information to measure our performance, provide comparisons from period to period 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 and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our liquidity or results as reported under GAAP. Some limitations are:

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect 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 and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
25


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

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Financing and Capital Requirements

Credit Agreement

We have a $100 million revolving credit facility, which matures June 2027, with $41.0 million of borrowings on the facility at March 31, 2024, leaving $50.5 million available for future borrowings, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, which generally limits borrowings to 2.5 times annual Adjusted EBITDA levels. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest, payable at least quarterly, at the Company’s option, at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or a base rate, plus a margin. Borrowings under the credit agreement denominated in pounds sterling, if any, bear interest at the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% on SOFR and SONIA loans and 1.00% to 1.75% on base rate loans, determined by the Company's most recent consolidated leverage ratio, plus an additional spread of 0.10%. The Company incurs a commitment fee ranging from 0.35% to 0.50% on any unused capacity under the revolving loan facility, determined by the Company's most recent consolidated leverage ratio. Assuming an interest rate of 7.78% (the rate in effect on March 31, 2024) on our current borrowings, interest payments are expected to be $2.4 million from April 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024, $3.2 million in each of 2025 and 2026, and $1.6 million in 2027. The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants and also contains certain financial covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. As of March 31, 2024, 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 and Item 3. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk - Interest Rate Risk."

Contractual Obligations

The Company has operating leases for corporate office space and certain equipment. The leases have terms from one year to ten 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. As of March 31, 2024, the value of our lease right-of-use asset was $4.5 million and the value of our lease liability was $8.2 million. See note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

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.

Other Capital Requirements

As of March 31, 2024, we recorded approximately $1.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits as liabilities, and we are 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 March 31, 2024 are $1.1 million of tax benefits that would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that as much as $0.2 million of its unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized in the next 12 months.

The Board previously approved a stock repurchase program that permitted the Company to repurchase its common stock. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had no stock repurchase programs and all previously approved stock repurchase programs had expired in accordance with their terms. Management has discretion in determining the conditions under which shares may be purchased from time to time. See note 12 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

We anticipate capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2024 to be approximately $15 million to $17 million. We intend to use operating cash flows to fund capital expenditures.




27



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 and marketplaces 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. 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 technologists and security cleared professionals. If recruitment activity slows in the industries in which we operate, our revenues and results of operations could 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.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Our operations are conducted within the United States. As a result, our current operations are not subject to foreign exchange risk

The Company's investment in eFC, as described in note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, which is recorded under the equity method of accounting, subjects the Company to foreign exchange risk because the functional currency of eFC is the British Pound Sterling. Accordingly, the Company must translate its share of eFC's net income into United States dollars. The foreign currency translation related to the Company's share of eFC's net income is not expected to be significant.

Interest Rate Risk

We have interest rate risk primarily related to borrowings under our Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest, payable at least quarterly, at the Company’s option, at the SOFR or a base rate, plus a margin. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in pounds sterling, if any, bear interest at the SONIA rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% on SOFR and SONIA loans and 1.00% to 1.75% on base rate loans, as determined by our most recent consolidated leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2024, we had outstanding borrowings of $41.0 million under our Credit Agreement. A hypothetical increase of 1.0% on these variable rate borrowings would increase our annual interest expense over the next 12 months by approximately $0.4 million, based on the balances outstanding for these borrowings as of March 31, 2024.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the fiscal period covered by this report.

These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that are filed or submitted under 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 SEC. These disclosure controls and procedures include, without
28


limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

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.

Changes in Internal Controls

No change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
29


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 Note 11 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, we are currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors    

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 May 10, 2024, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed. 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

Stock Repurchase Plans - During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had no stock repurchases pursuant to any stock repurchase plans. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had no stock repurchase plans, and all previously approved stock repurchase plans have expired in accordance with their terms.

Stock Repurchases Pursuant to the 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, as Amended and Restated—Under the 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, as Amended and Restated (as defined below), and as further described in note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company repurchases its common stock withheld for income tax from the vesting of employee restricted stock or Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (“PSUs”). The Company remits the value, which is based on the closing share price on the vesting date, of the common stock withheld to the appropriate tax authority on behalf of the employee and the related shares become treasury stock.

Stock repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2024 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

     Total646,288 — $— 
(1) Total number of shares purchased includes shares withheld to satisfy employee income tax obligations upon the vesting of stock awards.

Item 5.    Other Information

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulations S-K.

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” or "we," "our" or "us") have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). 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, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year or any other future period.

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 three-month period ended March 31, 2024.

The Company allocates resources and assesses financial performance on a consolidated basis, as all services pertain to the Company's Tech-focused strategy. As a result, the Company has a single reportable segment, Tech-focused, which includes the Dice and ClearanceJobs brands, as well as corporate related costs. All operations are in the United States.

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. On January 1, 2023, under the modified retrospective method as required by the standard, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $0.3 million to increase accumulated earnings and reduce the allowance for doubtful accounts. Prior period amounts were not adjusted, and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the period presented.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The new accounting standard relates to disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and provides more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with retrospective application required. We are evaluating the effect of the standard on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new accounting standard requires more detailed disclosures regarding the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect of the standard on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

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, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and long-term debt approximate their fair values. 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 as they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment. Such instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. These assets include equity investments, operating lease right-of-use assets, and 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.

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 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.

We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; accounts receivable are 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.

Credit Losses

The Company is exposed to credit losses through the inability of its customers to make required payments on accounts receivable. The Company segments accounts receivable based on credit risk characteristics and estimates future losses for each segment based on historical trends and current market conditions, as applicable. Expected losses on accounts receivable are recorded as allowance for doubtful accounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and as an expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The portion of accounts receivable that is reflected as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets is not considered at risk for credit losses. If the financial condition of DHI’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

INVESTMENTS INVESTMENTS
eFinancialCareers

On June 30, 2021, the Company transferred majority ownership and control of its eFinancialCareers ("eFC") business to eFC's management, while retaining a 40% common share interest with zero proceeds received from the transfer. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company sold a portion of its ownership in eFC reducing its total interest in eFC from 40% to 10%. As a result of the sale, the Company received cash of $4.9 million and recognized a $0.6 million gain, which included a $0.2 million charge related to accumulated foreign currency loss that was previously a reduction to equity.
eFC is a financial services careers website, operating websites in multiple markets in four languages mainly across the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North America. Professionals from across many sectors of the financial services industry, including asset management, risk management, investment banking, and information technology, use eFC to advance their careers. The Company has evaluated its common share interest in the eFC 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 eFC. The investment was recorded at its fair value on June 30, 2021, the date of transfer, which was $3.6 million. The Company's equity in the net assets of eFC as of June 30, 2021 was $2.2 million. The difference between the Company's recorded value and its equity in net assets of eFC was reduced during the third quarter of 2023, as described above, as the Company reduced its ownership in eFC. The remaining basis difference at the time of sale was $0.3 million and is being amortized against the recorded value of the investment in accordance with ASC 323 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Accordingly, the Company recorded amortization of $0.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. There was no amortization recorded during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 because it was not material. The recorded value is further adjusted based on the Company's proportionate share of eFC's net income and is recorded three months in arrears. The Company recorded income related to its proportionate share of eFC's net income, net of currency translation adjustments and amortization of the basis difference, of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

During 2021, the Company invested $3.0 million through a subordinated convertible promissory note (the "Note") with a values-based career destination company that allows the next generation workforce to search for jobs at companies whose people, perks and values align with their unique professional needs. The investment was recorded as a trading security at fair value and was recorded at $3.0 million as of December 31, 2021.

In the third quarter of 2022, the Note was converted into preferred shares representing 4.9% of the outstanding equity in the underlying business, on a fully-diluted basis. The Company's preferred shares are substantially similar to shares purchased by a third party investor that resulted in such investor becoming the majority owner of the business. Therefore the Company's shares in the business were recorded at fair value based on the price per share realized in the conversion. The value of the Company's investment was $0.7 million as of December 31, 2022 and was recorded as an investment in the consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, the Company recognized an impairment loss during the year ended December 31, 2022 of $2.3 million.

During the third quarter of 2023, the investment's financial position deteriorated. To meet its financial obligations, the investment issued convertible debt at a price that indicated the value of the investment had declined. As such, the Company revalued its investment to $0.4 million and accordingly, recognized an impairment loss of $0.3 million during the third quarter of 2023.

During the first quarter of 2024, the investment's financial position further deteriorated. To meet its financial obligations, the investment issued additional convertible debt at a price that indicated the value of the investment had declined. As such, the Company revalued its investment to zero and accordingly, recognized an impairment loss of $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2024. The Company's ownership of the investment, on a fully diluted basis, as of March 31, 2024 is less than 1.0%.

The Company has elected the measurement alternative in accordance with FASB ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities. As of March 31, 2024, subsequent to the most recent issuance of convertible debt, it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of its interest because there were no observable transactions for the investment. Accordingly, the investment was carried at the value indicated by the convertible debt issuance as of March 31, 2024, as described above.

At March 31, 2024, the Company held preferred stock representing a 7.3% interest in the fully diluted shares of a tech skills assessment company. The investment is recorded at zero as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company recorded no gain or loss related to the investment during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Intangible Assets Disclosure ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
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 annual impairment test for the Dice.com trademarks and brand name is performed on October 1 of each year. 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.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the Company had an indefinite-lived acquired intangible asset of $23.8 million related to the Dice trademarks and brand name. No impairment was recorded during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
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 trademarks 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 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.

Goodwill as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, which was allocated to the Tech-focused reporting unit, was $128.1 million.

The annual impairment test for the Tech-focused reporting unit is performed on October 1 of each year. The results of the impairment test indicated that the fair value of the Tech-focused reporting unit was substantially in excess of the carrying value as of October 1, 2023. Results for the Tech-focused reporting unit for the first quarter of 2024 and estimated future results as of March 31, 2024 approximate the projections used in the October 1, 2023 analysis. As a result, the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value as of March 31, 2024. Therefore, no quantitative impairment test was performed as of March 31, 2024. No impairment was recorded during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Company’s ability to achieve the projections used in the October 1, 2023 analysis may be impacted by, among other things, general market conditions, 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. If future cash flows that are attributable to the Tech-focused reporting unit are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in a future period.

Debt Disclosure INDEBTEDNESS
Credit Agreement—In June 2022, 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 Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which matures in June 2027. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving loan facility of $100 million, with an expansion option of $50 million, bringing the total facility to $150 million, as permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement. At the closing of the Credit Agreement, the Company borrowed $30 million to repay, in full, all outstanding indebtedness, including accrued interest, under the previous credit agreement. Unamortized debt issuance costs from the previous credit agreement of $0.2 million and debt issuance costs of $0.5 million related to the new agreement were recorded as other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are recorded to interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest, payable at least quarterly, at the Company’s option, at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or a base rate plus a margin. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in pounds sterling, if any, bear interest at the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% on SOFR and SONIA loans and 1.00% to 1.75% on base rate loans, determined by the Company’s most recent consolidated leverage ratio, plus an additional spread of 0.10%. The Company incurs a commitment fee ranging from 0.35% to 0.50% on any unused capacity under the revolving loan facility, determined by the Company’s most recent consolidated leverage ratio. All borrowings as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were in U.S. dollars. The facility may be prepaid at any time without penalty.
The Credit Agreement contains various 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 is equal to or less than 2.50 to 1.00, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. 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 $7.5 million of restricted payments each fiscal year, as described in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also provides that the payment of obligations may be accelerated upon the occurrence of events of default, including, but not limited to, non-payment, change of control, or insolvency. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers and the guarantors.

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.

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 liability 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.

On July 13, 2022, the stockholders of the Company approved the DHI Group, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, which had been previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors on May 13, 2022 (the "2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan"). The 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan generally mirrors the terms of the Company's prior omnibus equity award plan, which expired in accordance with its terms on April 20, 2022 (the "2012 Omnibus Equity Award Plan"). On April 26, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved the DHI Group, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, as Amended and Restated, which had been previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 16, 2023 (the "2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, as Amended and Restated"). The 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance as equity awards under the plan by 2.9 million shares. The Company has previously granted restricted stock and PSUs to certain employees and directors pursuant to the 2012 Omnibus Equity Award Plan and the 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan and will continue to grant restricted stock and PSUs to certain employees and directors pursuant to the 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, as Amended and Restated. The Company also offers an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

The Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $2.1 million and $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At March 31, 2024, there was $13.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.1 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 restricted stock grants is recorded over the vesting period as described below. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants.

Restricted stock vests in various increments 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 three years for employees.

A summary of the status of restricted stock awards as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 and the changes during the periods then ended is presented below:

PSUs
—PSUs are granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. These shares are granted under compensation agreements that are for services provided by the employees. The fair value of the PSUs is 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 year of grant, as defined in the applicable award 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.

There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan—On March 11, 2020 the Company's Board of Directors adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). The ESPP was approved by the Company's stockholders on April 21, 2020. The ESPP provides eligible employees the opportunity to purchase shares of the Company's common stock through payroll deductions during six-month offering periods. The purchase price per share of common stock is 85% of the lower of the closing stock price on the first or last trading day of each offering period. The offering periods are January 1 to June 30 and July 1 to December 31. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for purchase under the ESPP is 500,000, subject to adjustment as provided under the ESPP. Individual employee purchases are limited to $25,000 per calendar year, based on the fair market value of the shares on the purchase date. No shares were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life Employee Stock Purchase Plan—On March 11, 2020 the Company's Board of Directors adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). The ESPP was approved by the Company's stockholders on April 21, 2020. The ESPP provides eligible employees the opportunity to purchase shares of the Company's common stock through payroll deductions during six-month offering periods. The purchase price per share of common stock is 85% of the lower of the closing stock price on the first or last trading day of each offering period. The offering periods are January 1 to June 30 and July 1 to December 31. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for purchase under the ESPP is 500,000, subject to adjustment as provided under the ESPP. Individual employee purchases are limited to $25,000 per calendar year, based on the fair market value of the shares on the purchase date. No shares were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
