2. Basis of Presentation
Unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial reporting. These condensed consolidated statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to state fairly the condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S.") ("GAAP"). The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. Operating results and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, or any other future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations for interim reporting of the SEC. These unaudited, condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and other forms filed with the SEC from time to time.
Reclassifications
Our revenue from "recurring" and "one-time services and other" have been combined within "revenue" beginning in 2025 due to the immateriality of our one-time services and other revenue. In order to provide comparability between periods presented, our “recurring“ and “one-time services and other" revenue lines have been combined within “revenue" in the previously reported consolidated statements of comprehensive income to conform to the presentation of the current period. Similarly, "cost of recurring" and "cost of one-time services and other" have been combined within "cost of revenue" in the previously reported consolidated statements of comprehensive income to conform to the presentation of the current period.
Basis of consolidation
The unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Blackbaud, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we reconsider and evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those that impact revenue recognition, long-lived and intangible assets, income taxes, business combinations, stock-based compensation, capitalization of software development costs, our allowances for credit losses and sales returns, costs of obtaining contracts, valuation of derivative instruments, loss contingencies and insurance recoveries, among others. Changes in the facts or circumstances underlying these estimates could result in material changes and actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we expect to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements when adopted in the future.
Summary of significant accounting policies
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025.
3. Earnings Per Share
We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the assumed exercise, settlement and vesting of all dilutive securities using the “treasury stock method,” except when the effect is anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities consist of shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock awards and units.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

4. Fair Value Measurements
We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
• Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
• Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
• Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
Recurring fair value measurements
Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following, as of the dates indicated below:

Fair value as of December 31, 2024
Financial assets:

Foreign currency forward contracts — 1,288 — 1,288
Total financial assets $ — $ 10,550 $ — $ 10,550
Our derivative instruments within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, Derivatives and Hedging , are required to be recorded at fair value. Our derivative instruments that are recorded at fair value include interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. See Note 7 to these unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information about our derivative instruments.
The fair value of our interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts are based on model-driven valuations using Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") rates and foreign currency forward rates, respectively, which are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Accordingly, our interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
We believe the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and due to customers approximate their fair values at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these instruments.

Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
We believe the carrying amount of our debt approximates its fair value at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as the debt bears interest rates that approximate market value. As SOFR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals, our debt under the 2024 Credit Facilities (as defined below) is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our fixed rate debt does not exceed the carrying amount.
We did not transfer any assets or liabilities among the levels within the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Non-recurring fair value measurements
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include long-lived assets, intangible assets, goodwill and operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets. These assets are recognized at fair value during the period in which an acquisition is completed or at lease commencement, from updated estimates and assumptions during the measurement period, or when they are considered to be impaired. These non-recurring fair value measurements, primarily for long-lived assets, intangible assets acquired and operating lease ROU assets, are based on Level 3 unobservable inputs. In the event of an impairment, we determine the fair value of these assets other than goodwill using a discounted cash flow approach, which contains significant unobservable inputs and, therefore, is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs in the analysis generally include future cash flow projections and a discount rate. For goodwill impairment testing, we estimate fair value using market-based methods including the use of market capitalization and consideration of a control premium.
There were no significant non-recurring fair value adjustments to our long-lived assets, intangible assets, goodwill or operating lease ROU assets during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

2024 Credit Facilities
In April 2024, we entered into a five-year $ 1.5 billion senior credit facility (the "2024 Credit Facilities"). At March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with our debt covenants under the 2024 Credit Facilities.
Real estate loans
In August 2020, we completed the purchase of our global headquarters facility. As part of the purchase price, we assumed the seller’s obligations under two senior secured notes with a then-aggregate outstanding principal amount of $ 61.1 million (collectively, the “Real Estate Loans”). The Real Estate Loans require periodic principal payments and the balance of the Real Estate Loans are due upon maturity in April 2038. At March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with our debt covenants under the Real Estate Loans.
Other debt
From time to time, we enter into third-party financing agreements for purchases of software and related services for our internal use. Generally, the agreements are non-interest-bearing notes requiring annual payments. Interest associated with the notes is imputed at the rate we would incur for amounts borrowed under our then-existing credit facility at the inception of the notes.
The following table summarizes our currently effective supplier financing agreements as of March 31, 2025:

7. Derivative Instruments
We generally use derivative instruments to manage our interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk. We currently have derivatives classified as cash flow hedges and net investment hedges. We do not enter into any derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
All of our derivative instruments are governed by International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. master agreements with our counterparties. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we have presented the fair value of our derivative instruments at the gross amounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as the gross fair values of our derivative instruments equaled their net fair values.
Cash flow hedges
We have entered into interest rate swap agreements, which effectively convert portions of our variable rate debt under the 2024 Credit Facilities to a fixed rate for the term of the swap agreements. We designated each of the interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges at the inception of the contracts. Our entry into the 2024 Credit Agreement in April 2024 did not affect our interest rate swap agreements, including their designation as cash flow hedges, as the 2024 Credit Agreement has substantially the same critical terms as the 2020 Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate notional values of the interest rate swaps were $ 700.0 million and $ 700.0 million, respectively. All of the contracts have maturities on or before October 2028.
We have entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge revenues denominated in the Canadian Dollar ("CAD") against changes in the exchange rate with the United States Dollar ("USD"). We designated each of these foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges at the inception of the contracts. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate notional values of the foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges that we held to buy USD in exchange for Canadian Dollars were $ 35.8 million CAD and $ 32.8 million CAD, respectively. All of the contracts have maturities of 12 months or less.

Net investment hedges
We have entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of the foreign currency exposure that arises on translation of our investments denominated in British Pounds ("GBP") into USD. We designated each of these foreign currency forward contracts as net investment hedges at the inception of the contracts. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate notional values of the foreign currency forward contracts designated as net investment hedges to reduce the volatility of the U.S. dollar value of a portion of our GBP-denominated investments was £ 16.3 million and £ 12.9 million, respectively.
The fair values of our derivative instruments were as follows as of:

Our policy requires that derivatives used for hedging purposes be designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains or losses from the change in fair value measurement of our derivative instruments each reporting period and the related income tax expense or benefit. Excluding net investment hedges, changes in the fair value measurements of the derivative instruments and the related income tax expense or benefit are reflected as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the actual hedged expense is incurred or until the hedge is terminated at which point the unrealized gain (loss) and related tax effects are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to current earnings. For net investment hedges, changes in the fair value measurements of the derivative instruments and the related income tax expense or benefit are reflected as adjustments to translation adjustment, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and recognized in earnings only when the hedged GBP investment is liquidated. The estimated accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2025 that is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months is $ 4.2 million. There were no ineffective portions of our interest rate swap or foreign currency forward derivatives during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. See Note 10 to these unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements for a summary of the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component. We classify cash flows related to derivative instruments as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
We have operating leases for corporate offices and subleased offices. As of March 31, 2025, we did not have any operating leases that had not yet commenced.
Release from Washington, DC lease
In February 2025, we made a one-time cash release payment of $ 28.0 million to the lessor in connection with a release from our lease for office space in Washington, DC (which was acquired as part of our acquisition of EVERFI in December 2021). Due to our remote-first workforce strategy, we had not used the office space since February 2023 and had subleased a portion of the space. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a loss on lease termination of $ 24.3 million in general and administrative expense.
The following table summarizes the components of our lease expense:

Other commitments
The term loans under the 2024 Credit Facilities require periodic principal payments. The balance of the term loans and any amounts drawn on the revolving credit loans are due upon maturity of the 2024 Credit Facilities in April 2029. The Real Estate Loans also require periodic principal payments and the balance of the Real Estate Loans are due upon maturity in April 2038.
We have contractual obligations for third-party technology used in our solutions and for other services we purchase as part of our normal operations. In certain cases, these arrangements require a minimum annual purchase commitment by us. As of March 31, 2025, the remaining aggregate minimum purchase commitment under these arrangements was approximately $ 194.7 million through 2029.
Solution and service indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we provide certain indemnifications of varying scope to customers against claims of intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of our solutions or services. We have not identified any losses that might be covered by these indemnifications.
Legal proceedings
We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, as well as certain other non-ordinary course proceedings, claims and investigations, as described below. We make a provision for a loss contingency when it is both probable that a material liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If only a range of estimated losses can be determined, we accrue an amount within the range that, in our judgment, reflects the most likely outcome; if none of the estimates within that range is a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the low end of the range. For proceedings in which an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible but not probable and an estimate of the loss or range of losses arising from the proceeding can be made, we disclose such an estimate, if material. If such a loss or range of losses is not reasonably estimable, we disclose that fact. We review any such loss contingency provisions at least quarterly and adjust them to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. We recognize insurance recoveries, if any, when they are probable of receipt. All associated costs due to third-party service providers and consultants, including legal fees, are expensed as incurred.
Legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable. However, we believe that we have valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending or threatened against us and intend to defend ourselves vigorously against all claims asserted. It is possible that our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially negatively affected in any particular period by an unfavorable resolution of one or more of such legal proceedings.

Security incident
As previously disclosed, we are subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of a ransomware attack against us in May 2020 in which a cybercriminal removed a copy of a subset of data from our self-hosted environment (the "Security Incident"). Based on the nature of the Security Incident, our research and third party (including law enforcement) investigation, we do not believe that any data went beyond the cybercriminal, has been misused, or has been disseminated or otherwise made available publicly.
As a result of the Security Incident, we are currently subject to certain legal proceedings, claims and investigations, as discussed below, and could be the subject of additional legal proceedings, claims, inquiries and investigations in the future that might result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other resolution. To limit our exposure to losses related to claims against us, including data breaches such as the Security Incident, we maintain $ 50 million of insurance above a $ 250 thousand deductible payable by us. This coverage reduced our fina ncial exposure related to the Security Incident in prior years. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025 for more information regarding the Security Incident.
We recorded expenses and offsetting insurance recoveries related to the Security Incident as follows:
Three months ended
March 31,
(dollars in thousands) 2025
2024
Gross expense $ 2,180 $ 10,323
Offsetting insurance recoveries — —
Net expense $ 2,180 $ 10,323
The following summarizes our cumulative expenses, insurance recoveries recognized and insurance recoveries received as of:
(dollars in thousands) March 31,
2025 December 31,
2024
Cumulative gross expense $ 177,311 $ 175,131
Cumulative offsetting insurance recoveries recognized ( 50,000 ) ( 50,000 )
Cumulative net expense $ 127,311 $ 125,131
Cumulative offsetting insurance recoveries received $ ( 50,000 ) $ ( 50,000 )
Recorded expenses have consisted primarily of payments to third-party service providers and consultants, including legal fees, settlement of the previously disclosed SEC investigation, multi-state Attorneys General investigation and Attorney General of the State of California investigation, settlements of customer claims and accruals for certain loss contingencies. Not included in the expenses discussed above were costs associated with enhancements to our cybersecurity program. We present expenses and insurance recoveries related to the Security Incident in general and administrative expense on our unaudited, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and as operating activities on our unaudited, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Total costs related to the Security Incident exceeded the limit of our insurance coverage during the first quarter of 2022. We expect to continue to incur expenses related to our response to the Security Incident, resolution of legal proceedings, claims and investigations, including those discussed below, and our efforts to further enhance our cybersecurity measures. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred net pre-tax expenses of $ 2.2 million related to the Security Incident, which included $ 1.1 million for ongoing legal fees and additional accruals of loss contingencies of $ 1.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had net cash outlays which were insignificant related to the Security Incident for ongoing legal fees and the settlement of putative consumer class actions cases in Canada discussed below. In line with our policy, legal fees are expensed as incurred.
As of March 31, 2025, we have recorded approximately $ 1.6 million in aggregate liabilities for loss contingencies based primarily on recent negotiations with certain plaintiffs and customers related to the Security Incident that we believed we could reasonably estimate in accordance with our loss contingency procedures described above. Our liabilities for loss contingencies are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our unaudited, condensed consolidated balance sheets. It is reasonably possible that our estimated actual losses may change in the near term for those matters, but
First Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q

Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
we believe that they are not reasonably likely, either separately or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
There may be other Security Incident-related matters, which could, separately or in the aggregate, result in an adverse judgment, settlement, fine, penalty or other resolution, the amount, scope and timing of which we are currently unable to predict.
Customer claims. We believe that substantially all specific requests from customers for reimbursement of expenses incurred by them related to the Security Incident, have been fully resolved and closed or are inactive and have been abandoned by the customers. We also believe that substantially all reservations of the right to seek expense recovery in the future that we received from customers or their attorneys in the U.S., U.K. and Canada related to the Security Incident, none of which resulted in claims submitted to us, have been abandoned by the customers and that all claims or proposed claims on behalf of a number of U.K. data subjects received by us, have been fully resolved and closed or are inactive and have been abandoned by the data subjects. In addition, insurance companies representing various customers’ interests through subrogation claims contacted us, and certain insurance companies filed subrogation claims in court, all of which are now considered by us to be resolved or inactive and abandoned by the insurance companies.
Customer constituent class actions. Presently, we are a defendant in cases in U.S. federal courts (which have been consolidated under multi district litigation to a single federal court) alleging harm from the Security Incident. The plaintiffs in these cases generally claim to have been harmed by alleged actions and/or omissions by us in connection with the Security Incident and assert a variety of common law and statutory claims seeking monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys’ fees and other related relief.
On May 14, 2024, the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina issued a memorandum opinion and order that, among other things, denied the multi district litigation plaintiffs' motion for class certification. On July 30, 2024, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the plaintiffs' petition for permission to appeal the Court's ruling. While this litigation remains ongoing, we believe that it is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In December 2024 and January 2025, judges in Ontario and British Columbia, respectively, approved a settlement between us and plaintiffs in putative consumer class actions cases in Canada. In January 2025, the insignificant settlement was paid to Canadian charities designated in the settlement agreement as cy pres recipients.
Governmental investigations. As previously disclosed, we are subject to an ongoing investigation by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. We also responded to inquiries from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner in September 2020 and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada in October 2020. Although we have not received notices of the termination of any of these inquiries and investigations, we believe that these matters are no longer active.
For more information about the completed government investigations and related actions, see Note 11 to our audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025.
9. Income Taxes
Our income tax provision (benefit) and effective income tax rates, including the effects of period-specific events, were:
Three months ended
March 31,
(dollars in thousands) 2025
2024
Income tax provision (benefit) $ 723 $ ( 1,456 )
Effective income tax rate 12.9 % ( 38.4 ) %
The increase in our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily due to the impact of reduced current year stock-based compensation benefit. Additionally, the current year effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by a valuation allowance against our net U.S. deferred tax assets.

10. Stockholders' Equity
Stock repurchase program
Under our stock repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase shares from time to time in accordance with applicable laws both on the open market, including under trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of repurchases depends on several factors, including market and business conditions, the trading price of our common stock and the nature of other investment opportunities. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be limited, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Under the 2024 Credit Agreement, we have restrictions on our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock, which are summarized on page 37 in this report.
We account for purchases of treasury stock under the cost method. On July 16, 2024, our Board of Directors reauthorized, expanded and replenished our stock repurchase program by expanding the total capacity under the program to $ 800.0 million available for repurchases.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased an aggregate of 1,513,022 shares for $ 100.0 million. The remaining amount available to purchase stock under the approved stock repurchase program was $ 544.5 million as of March 31, 2025.

11. Segment Information
We have one operating segment and one reportable segment. Our chief operating decision maker is our chief executive officer ("CEO"), who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about our revenue, for purposes of making decisions about assessing financial performance and allocating resources. Our CEO considers costs of revenue, sales, marketing and customer success, research and development, and general and administrative expense categories on our consolidated statements of comprehensive income as significant. Our CEO uses consolidated operating margin and net income as the primary measures of profit or loss. These financial metrics are
First Quarter 2025 Form 10-Q
19
Table of Contents
Blackbaud, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
used by our CEO to make key operating decisions, such as the allocation of budget between costs of revenues and our different operating expense categories.
Our other segment items include amortization, interest expense, other income, net, and income tax provision (benefit) on our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
12. Revenue Recognition
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
As of March 31, 2025, approximately $ 1.2 billion of revenue under contract is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 50 % of these remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter.
We applied the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 and have excluded the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed (transactional revenue).
Contract balances
Our contract assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were insignificant. Our closing balances of deferred revenue were as follows:
(in thousands) March 31,
2025 December 31,
2024
Total deferred revenue $ 332,242 $ 361,544
The decrease in deferred revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to a seasonal decrease in customer contract billings. Historically, due to the timing of customer budget cycles, we have an increase in billings and customer contract renewals at or near the beginning of our third quarter. Generally, our lowest balance of deferred revenue during the year is at the end of our first quarter. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that was included in the deferred reven ue balance at the beginning of the period was approximately $ 159 million. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was insignificant .
Disaggregation of revenue
We sell our cloud solutions and related services in three primary geographical markets: to customers in the United States, to customers in the United Kingdom and to customers located in other countries. The following table presents our revenue by geographic area based on the location of our customers:
