Selected Terms Used in Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
ASA – Administrative Service Agreement
ASC – Accounting Standards Codification
ASU – Accounting Standards Update

FASB – The Financial Accounting Standards Board

Description of Business: CBIZ, Inc. is a diversified services company which, acting through its subsidiaries, has been providing professional business services since 1996, primarily to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as individuals, governmental entities, and not-for-profit enterprises throughout the United States and parts of Canada. CBIZ, Inc. manages and reports its operations along three practice groups: Financial Services, Benefits and Insurance Services and National Practices. A further description of products and services offered by each of the practice groups is provided in Note 12, Segment Disclosures, to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Effective April 1, 2023, CBIZ formed Rockside Insurance Company, Inc. ("Rockside"), a captive insurance company licensed in Vermont. Rockside, wholly owned by CBIZ, provides insurance coverages for a portion of the retention deductibles from CBIZ's certain insurance programs with third party insurers.
Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of CBIZ, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“CBIZ”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the operations or accounts of variable interest entities as the impact is not material to the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of CBIZ.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements: The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
In the opinion of CBIZ management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Changes in circumstances could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates.
Changes in Accounting Policies: We have consistently applied the accounting policies for the periods presented as described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, to the
8
consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Reclassifications: Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year's presentation.
NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The FASB ASC is the sole source of authoritative GAAP other than the SEC issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues an ASU to communicate changes to the FASB ASC. We assess and review the impact of all issued ASUs. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we have implemented all new ASUs that are in effect and that may impact our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET
Accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts, reflects the net realizable value of receivables and approximates fair value. Unbilled revenue is recorded at estimated net realizable value. Assessing the collectability of the receivables (billed and unbilled) requires management judgment based on a combination of factors, including but not limited to, an evaluation of our historical incurred loss experience, credit-worthiness of our clients, age of the trade receivable balance, current economic conditions that may affect a client’s ability to pay, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Receivables are charged-off against the allowance when the balance is deemed uncollectible.
Accounts receivable, net, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 4. DEBT AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
On May 4, 2022, we entered into a credit facility (the "2022 credit facility" or the "credit facility"), which amended and restated the 2018 credit facility. The 2022 credit facility increased our borrowing capacity from $ 400 million to $ 600 million, providing us with the capital necessary to meet our working capital needs as well as the flexibility to continue with our strategic initiatives, including business acquisitions and share repurchases. Other important key terms of the 2022 credit facility included: (i) an accordion feature that permits lenders to extend an additional $ 200 million at later date; (ii) no change in pricing from the 2018 credit facility; (iii) upsizing of baskets and various sublimits to reflect the increased size of the Company's business; (iv) a swing line facility increase from $ 25 million to $ 50 million, providing for same-day funds to cover daily liquidity needs; and (v) base interest rate amended from LIBOR to Term SOFR.
9
The 2022 credit facility matures on May 4, 2027. The balance outstanding under the 2022 credit facility was $ 410.6 million and $ 265.7 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The combined effective interest rates under the 2018 and 2022 credit facilities, including the impact of interest rate swaps associated with those credit facilities, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:
Six Months Ended
June 30,
2023 2022
Weighted average rates 4.94 % 1.93 %
Range of effective rates 1.93 % - 8.00 %
1.08 % - 3.67 %
We had approximately $ 177.5 million of available funds under the 2022 credit facility at June 30, 2023, net of outstanding letters of credit of $ 4.4 million. Available funds under the credit facility are based on a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as defined in the credit facility, and are reduced by letters of credit, other indebtedness and outstanding borrowings under the credit facility. Under the 2022 credit facility, loans are charged an interest rate consisting of a base rate or Term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin, letters of credit are charged based on the same applicable margin, and a commitment fee is charged on the unused portion of the credit facility.
The 2022 credit facility contains certain restrictive covenants customary for facilities of this type, including restrictions on indebtedness, liens or other encumbrances, making certain payments, investments, or to sell or otherwise dispose of a substantial portion of assets, or to merge or consolidate with an unaffiliated entity. The 2022 credit facility also limits our ability to make dividend payments. Historically, we have not paid cash dividends on our common stock. Our Board of Directors has discretion over the payment and level of dividends on common stock, subject to the limitations of the credit facility and applicable law. The credit facility contains a provision that, in the event of a defined change in control, the credit facility may be terminated. In addition, the 2022 credit facility contains financial covenants that require us to meet certain requirements with respect to (i) a total leverage ratio and (ii) minimum interest coverage ratio which may limit our ability to borrow up to the total commitment amount. As of June 30, 2023, we are in compliance with all covenants.
Other Line of Credit - We have an unsecured $ 20.0 million line of credit by and among CBIZ Benefits and Insurance, Inc. and Huntington National Bank. We utilize this line to support our short-term funding requirements of payroll client fund obligations due to the investment of client funds, rather than liquidating client funds that have already been invested in available-for-sale securities. The line of credit, which was renewed on August 1, 2022 and will terminate on August 3, 2023, did no t have a balance outstanding at June 30, 2023. We intend to renew this line of credit.
Interest Expense - Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs, commitment fees, line of credit fees, and other applicable bank charges, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30,

NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
10
Letters of Credit and Guarantees - We provide letters of credit to landlords (lessors) of our leased premises in lieu of cash security deposits, which totaled $ 4.4 million and $ 5.0 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In addition, we provide license bonds to various state agencies to meet certain licensing requirements. The amount of license bonds outstanding was $ 2.3 million and $ 2.3 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Legal Proceedings - On December 19, 2016, CBIZ Operations, Inc. ("CBIZ Operations") was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Zotec Partners, LLC (“Zotec”) in the Marion County Indiana Superior Court. After various amendments, the lawsuit asserted claims under Indiana law for securities, statutory and common law fraud or deception, unjust enrichment, breach of contract, and vicarious liability against CBIZ Operations and a former employee of CBIZ MMP in connection with the sale of the CBIZ MMP medical billing practice to Zotec. The plaintiff claimed that CBIZ Operations had a duty to disclose the fact, unknown to employees of CBIZ Operations at the time of the transaction, that the former employee had a financial arrangement with a Zotec vendor at the time CBIZ Operations sold CBIZ MMP to Zotec. The plaintiff sought damages of up to $ 177.0 million out of the $ 200.0 million transaction price. Trial was held in October 2021. The jury found in favor of CBIZ on all fraud, contract and other claims before it. On November 14, 2022, the trial court ruled in favor of CBIZ and against Zotec’s claim for statutory securities fraud. The court also ruled in favor of CBIZ on its counterclaim for indemnification under contract. The trial court is expected to set further proceedings to determine the amount of damages owed by Zotec to CBIZ.
In addition to the item disclosed above, the Company is, from time to time, subject to claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. We cannot predict the outcome of all such matters or estimate the possible loss, if any. Although the proceedings are subject to uncertainties in the litigation process and the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, we intend to vigorously defend these matters.
NOTE 6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Available-For-Sale Debt Securities - In connection with certain services provided by our payroll operations, we collect funds from our clients’ accounts in advance of paying client obligations. These funds held for clients are segregated and invested in accordance with our investment policy, which requires all investments carry an investment grade rating at the time of initial investment. These investments, primarily consisting of corporate and municipal bonds, are classified as available-for-sale and are included in the “Funds held for clients” line item on the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The par value of these investments totaled $ 41.2 million and $ 44.4 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and had maturity or callable dates ranging from July 2023 through November 2025.
At June 30, 2023, unrealized losses on the securities were not material and have not been recognized as a credit loss because the bonds are investment grade quality and management is not required or does not intend to sell prior to an expected recovery in value. The bond issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments.
The following table summarizes activities related to these investments for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

Interest Rate Swaps - We utilize interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk exposure associated with our floating-rate debt under the 2022 credit facility, or the forecasted acquisition of such liability. We do not purchase or hold any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for further discussion on our interest rate swaps.
During the first quarter of 2023, we entered into a new 5-year interest rate swap with a notional value of $ 25.0 million and fixed rate of 3.669 %. During the second quarter of 2023, one interest rate swap expired with a notional value of $ 15.0 million. As of June 30, 2023, we have four interest rate swaps outstanding. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, we pay interest at a fixed rate of interest plus applicable margin as stated in the amended agreements, and receive interest that varies with the one-month Term SOFR.
The following table summarizes our outstanding interest rate swaps and their classification in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (amounts in thousands):

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The following table summarizes our assets and (liabilities) at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by us to determine such fair value (in thousands):
12
Level June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
Deferred compensation plan assets 1 $ 136,463 $ 118,862
Available-for-sale debt securities 1 40,383 43,485
Other depository assets 1 947 868
Deferred compensation plan liabilities 1 ( 136,463 ) ( 118,862 )
Interest rate swaps 2 7,754 7,809
Contingent purchase price liabilities 3 ( 130,465 ) ( 132,010 )
During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers between the valuation hierarchy Levels 1, 2 and 3. The following table summarizes the change in Level 3 fair values of our contingent purchase price liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (pre-tax basis) (in thousands):
2023 2022
Beginning balance – December 31 $ ( 132,010 ) $ ( 79,139 )
Additions from business acquisitions ( 30,317 ) ( 64,648 )
Settlement of contingent purchase price liabilities 33,307 8,830
Change in fair value of contingencies ( 15 ) 117
Change in net present value of contingencies ( 1,430 ) ( 1,595 )
Ending balance – June 30 $ ( 130,465 ) $ ( 136,435 )
Contingent purchase price liabilities result from our business acquisitions and are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition and are presented as “Contingent purchase price liabilities — current” and “Contingent purchase price liabilities — non-current” in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We estimate the fair value of our contingent purchase price liabilities using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. This fair value measure is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Fair value measurements characterized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are measured based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect our own assumptions in measuring fair value.
We probability weight risk-adjusted estimates of future performance of acquired businesses, then calculate the contingent purchase price based on the estimates and discount them to present value representing management’s best estimate of fair value. The fair value of the contingent purchase price liabilities is reassessed quarterly based on assumptions provided by practice group leaders and business unit controllers together with our corporate finance department. Any change in the fair value estimate is recorded in the earnings of that period. Refer to Note 11, Business Combinations, for further discussion of our acquisitions and contingent purchase price liabilities.
The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments, and the carrying value of bank debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the bank debt is variable and approximates current market rates. As a result, the fair value measurement of our bank debt is considered to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 9. EMPLOYEE STOCK PLANS
On May 10, 2023, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the 2019 Stock Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). The amendment added 1.5 million shares to the total number of shares that may be issued under the 2019 Plan. All other respects of the Plan remain unchanged. The 2019 Plan, which expires in 2029, permits the grant of various forms of stock-based awards. A maximum of 4.6 million stock options, restricted stock or other stock-based compensation awards may be granted. The terms and vesting schedules for the stock-based awards vary by type and date of grant. Shares subject to award under the 2019 Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or treasury shares. Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for further discussion on the 2019 Plan.
Compensation expense for stock-based awards recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was as follows (in thousands):

Exercisable at June 30, 2023 382 $ 25.64
(1) Represents weighted average market value of the shares; awards are granted at no cost to the recipients.
CBIZ utilized the Black-Scholes-Merton options pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the date of grant. The per-share fair value of stock options granted on February 8, 2023 was $ 15.35 . The following weighted average assumptions were utilized:
Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Expected volatility (1) 28.57 %
Expected option life (years) (2) 4.74
Risk-free interest rate (3) 3.89 %
Expected dividend yield (4) — %
(1) The expected volatility assumption was determined based upon the historical volatility of CBIZ's stock price using daily price intervals.
(2) The expected option life was determined based upon CBIZ's historical data using a midpoint scenario, which assumes all options are exercised halfway between the expiration date and the weighted average time it takes the option to vest.
15
(3) The risk-free interest rate assumption was based upon zero-coupon U.S. treasury bonds with a term approximating the expected life of the respective options.
(4) The expected dividend yield assumption was determined in view of CBIZ's historical and estimated dividend payouts.
Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) – PSUs are earned based on our financial performance over a contractual term of three years and the associated expense is recognized over that period based on the fair value of the award. A three-year cliff vesting schedule of the PSUs is dependent upon the Company’s performance relative to pre-established goals based on an earnings per share target (weighted 70 %) and total growth in revenue (weighted 30 %). The fair value of PSUs is calculated using the market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. For performance achieved above specified levels, the recipient may earn additional shares of stock, not to exceed 200 % of the number of PSUs initially granted.
The following table presents our PSUs activity during the six months ended June 30, 2023 (in thousands, except per share data):

(1) A total of 12 thousand and 53 thousand shares of stock-based awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. A total of 17 thousand and 86 thousand shares of stock-based awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
16
(2) Contingent shares represent additional shares to be issued for purchase price earned by former owners of businesses acquired by us once future considerations have been met. Refer to Note 11, Business Combinations, for further details.
(3) The denominator used in calculating diluted earnings per share did not include 220 thousand PSUs for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and the denominator used in calculating diluted earnings per share did not include 360 thousand PSUs for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The performance conditions associated with these performance share units were not met and consequently none of these PSUs were considered as issuable for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Provisional estimates of fair value are established at the time of each acquisition and are subsequently reviewed within the first year of operations subsequent to the acquisition date to determine the necessity for adjustments. Fair value estimates of the 2023 Acquisitions were provisional as of June 30, 2023, primarily related to the value established for certain identifiable intangible assets and contingent purchase price consideration.
The following table summarizes the goodwill and intangible asset amounts resulting from those acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively (in thousands):

Other intangibles 18 — — —
Total $ 74,536 $ — $ 116,506 $ —
Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the aggregated purchase price and the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill represents the value of expected future earnings and cash flows, as well as the synergies created by the integration of the new businesses within our organization, including cross-selling opportunities expected with our Financial Services practice group and the Benefits and Insurance Services practice group, to help strengthen our existing service offerings and expand our market position. Goodwill related to these acquisitions is deductible for tax purposes. Client lists from the aforementioned acquisitions have an expected life up to 10 years, and other intangibles, primarily non-compete agreements, have an expected life of 3 years. Client lists and non-compete agreements are valued using a discounted cash flow model based on management estimates of future cash flows from such assets.

NOTE 12. SEGMENT DISCLOSURES
Our business units have been aggregated into three practice groups: Financial Services, Benefits and Insurance Services and National Practices. The business units have been aggregated based on the following factors: similarity of the products and services provided to clients; similarity of the regulatory environment in which they operate; and similarity of economic conditions affecting long-term performance. The business units are managed along these segment lines. A general description of services provided by each practice group is provided in the table below.
Financial Services Benefits and Insurance Services National Practices
Accounting and Tax Employee Benefits Consulting Information Technology Managed Networking and Hardware Services
Financial Advisory Payroll / Human Capital Management Healthcare Consulting
Valuation Property and Casualty Insurance
Risk and Advisory Services Retirement and Investment Services
Government Healthcare Consulting
Corporate and Other - Included in Corporate and Other are operating expenses that are not directly allocated to the individual business units. These expenses primarily consist of certain health care costs, gains or losses attributable to assets held in our non-qualified deferred compensation plan, stock-based compensation, consolidation and integration charges, certain professional fees, certain advertising costs and other various expenses.
Accounting policies of the practice groups are the same as those described in Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Upon consolidation, intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated, thus inter-segment revenue is not included in the measure of profit or loss for the practice groups. Performance of the practice groups is evaluated on income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit) excluding those costs listed above, which are reported in the “Corporate and Other”.
Segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is presented below. We do not manage our assets on a segment basis, therefore segment assets are not presented below.
