The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including those related to derivatives and hedging activities, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, litigation reserves, restructuring reserves, allowance for credit losses, contingent consideration, redeemable noncontrolling interest, and valuation of goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, primarily held in interest-bearing investments, and liquid short-term investments, which have original maturities of less than 90 days. Restricted cash includes cash whereby the Company’s ability to use the funds at any time is contractually limited or is generally designated for specific purposes arising out of certain contractual or other obligations.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (in thousands):

Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the normal course of business, primarily related to accounts receivable and derivative instruments. Historically, the losses related to credit risk have been immaterial. The Company regularly monitors its credit risk to mitigate the possibility of current and future exposures resulting in a loss. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its clients prior to entering into an agreement to provide services and as necessary through the life of the client relationship. The Company does not believe it is exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in its derivative hedging activities, as the Company diversifies its activities across eight investment-grade financial institutions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), “Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, which now requires the acquirer to account for revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had acquired the contract, versus recording these assets and liabilities at fair value on acquisition date. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new guidance during the fourth quarter of 2021 which required application to all acquisitions completed during the adoption year. See further discussion in Note 2.
Other Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform” (Topic 848), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform due to the anticipated cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (”LIBOR”). The ASU is effective from March 12, 2020, may be applied prospectively and could impact the accounting for LIBOR provisions in the Company’s credit facility agreement. In addition, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform – Scope,” which clarified the scope of ASC 848 relating to contract modifications. The Company has not yet adopted the standard but does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
(2) ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Certain Assets of Faneuil
On April 1, 2022 , the Company completed an asset acquisition through its subsidiary TTEC Government Solutions LLC, of certain public sector citizen experience contracts in the transportation infrastructure and healthcare exchange industries from Faneuil, Inc., a subsidiary of ALJ Regional Holdings, Inc. (“the Faneuil Transaction”). The business is operated as part of the TTEC Engage segment and was fully consolidated into the financial statements of TTEC. The Faneuil Transaction was recorded as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations, with identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.
Total cash paid at acquisition was $ 142.4 million. In addition, Faneuil granted to TTEC Government Solutions LLC a three-year call right and right of first offer to purchase certain other assets of Faneuil in its utilities and commercial healthcare verticals as well as certain proprietary technology. The Faneuil Transaction includes two contingent payments anticipated to be paid in early 2024 which are based on the revenue and EBITDA performance of one contract and one potential contract.
The fair value of the two contingent payments has been estimated using a Monte Carlo model. The model was based on current expected EBITDA performance for the two specific client programs, a discount rate of 7.6 % related to revenue and a discount rate of 19.3 % related to EBITDA, a volatility rate of 20 %, and an adjusted risk-free rate of 1.7 %. The potential payments range from a minimum of zero to an unlimited maximum. Based on the model, a combined $ 8.8 million expected future payment was calculated and recorded as of the acquisition date. During the third quarter of 2022, a $ 2.4 million net gain was recorded related to fair value adjustments for the estimated contingent payments based on the timing of cash flows and market interest rates which resulted in an updated discount factor for one contract and a complete reduction for the second contract as it was not awarded to the Company. The benefit was included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of September 30, 2022, the contingent payment is accrued at $ 6.4 million and is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Faneuil Transaction included a call option providing the right but not the obligation to purchase additional assets in the utilities and commercial healthcare verticals based on trailing twelve-month revenue plus an additional earn-out payment based on newly added contracts. A second call option provided the right to purchase a software intangible asset and related support functions based on trailing twelve-month revenue. These call options were valued based on information including the call right and the exclusivity period and a $ 0.3 million asset was recorded as of the acquisition date which is included in Other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value was unchanged as of September 30, 2022.
The Faneuil Transaction included an indemnity escrow which was disbursed as a holdback payment on the acquisition date. The indemnity payments relate to real estate and technology funds that will be spent post-close related to various IT upgrades and real estate expenses, and indemnity related to potential future employee wage increases. The indemnity payments were valued based on a weighted average of several current scenarios and a receivable of $ 10.4 million was recorded as of the acquisition date. During the third quarter of 2022, a reduction in the fair value was calculated and a $ 4.4 million expense was recorded related to a fair value adjustment for the receivable based on current information reflecting a better outcome with the contract negotiations. The reduction in fair value related expense was included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of September 30, 2022, the fair value of the receivable is $ 0.5 million and is included in Other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
A multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach was used to estimate the fair value of the customer relationships intangible assets. The significant assumptions utilized in calculating the fair value of the customer relationships intangible assets were the customer attrition rate, revenue growth rates, forecasted EBITDA, contributory asset charge, and the discount rate.

The estimates of fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities assumed are preliminary, pending finalization of the valuation, lease evaluation, and tax returns, thus are subject to revisions that may result in adjustments to the values presented above.
The Faneuil customer relationships have been estimated based on the initial valuation and will be amortized over an estimated useful life of 10 years . The goodwill recognized from the Faneuil acquisition is estimated to be attributable, but not limited to, the acquired workforce and expected synergies with the TTEC Engage segment. The tax basis of the acquired intangibles and goodwill will be materially deductible for income tax purposes. The acquired goodwill and intangibles and operating results of Faneuil are reported within the TTEC Engage segment from the date of acquisition.
Avtex
On April 8, 2021 , the Company acquired, through its subsidiary TTEC Digital, LLC, 100 % of the outstanding stock of Avtex Solutions Holdings, LLC (“Avtex”). Avtex is an end-to-end customer experience and CXaaS solutions provider with offerings in Genesys and Microsoft cloud solutions . The business is operated as part of the TTEC Digital segment and was fully consolidated into the financial statements of TTEC.
Total cash paid at acquisition was $ 499.946 million ($ 490.0 million base purchase price plus cash, less debt and working capital estimate). The Avtex transaction is subject to customary representations and warranties, holdbacks, and a net working capital adjustment. The Company used cash from operations and drew down on its Credit Facility to fund the acquisition. The Company finalized the net working capital adjustment for $ 0.1 million during the third quarter of 2021 which was paid by Avtex to the Company in the third quarter of 2021.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, TTEC implemented ASU 2021-08 which required an accounting modification to the deferred revenue balance as of the acquisition date (see discussion above in Note 1). The deferred revenue balance was evaluated as if TTEC had been the company securing the initial contracts and accounted for these contracts in accordance with ASC 606. Based on this re-assessment, the $ 4.9 million reduction initially recorded to deferred revenue in connection with the purchase price accounting was eliminated and an offsetting increase to Goodwill was recorded as of the acquisition date. In connection with this modification, revenue of $ 3.4 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021 related to deferred revenue from the second and third quarters of 2021.
A multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach was used to estimate the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset. The significant assumptions utilized in calculating the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset were the customer attrition rate, revenue growth rates, forecasted EBITDA, contributory asset charge, and the discount rate.

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company finalized the valuation of Avtex for the acquisition date assets acquired and liabilities assumed and determined that no material adjustments to any of the balances were required.
The Avtex customer relationships, intellectual property intangible, and tradename are being amortized over useful lives of 9 , 3 , and 1 years , respectively. The goodwill recognized from the Avtex acquisition is attributable, but not limited to, the acquired workforce and expected synergies with the TTEC Digital segment. The tax basis of the acquired intangibles and goodwill will be materially deductible for income tax purposes. The acquired goodwill and intangibles and operating results of Avtex are reported within the TTEC Digital segment from the date of acquisition.
Financial Impact of Acquired Businesses
The acquired businesses purchased in 2021 and 2022 noted above contributed revenues of $ 96.0 million and net income of $ 6.0 million to the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and revenues of $ 243.6 million and net income $ 16.2 million to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The unaudited proforma financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 combines the consolidated results of the Company, Avtex and Faneuil assuming the acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2021. The reported revenue and net income of $ 592.5 million and $ 22.2 million would have been $ 592.5 million and $ 22.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, on an unaudited proforma basis. The reported revenue and net income of $ 1,785.4 million and $ 80.9 million would have been $ 1,827.4 million and $ 85.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, on an unaudited proforma basis.

The Company did not have any material, nonrecurring proforma adjustments directly attributable to the business combinations included in the reported proforma revenue earnings. These proforma amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the respective acquired businesses’ results to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets had been applied from the date indicated, with the consequential tax effects.
The unaudited proforma consolidated results are not to be considered indicative of the results if these acquisitions occurred in the periods mentioned above, or indicative of future operations or results. Additionally, the proforma consolidated results do not reflect any anticipated synergies expected as a result of the acquisitions.

(4) SIGNIFICANT CLIENTS AND OTHER CONCENTRATIONS
The Company had one client that contributed in excess of 10% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022; this client operates in the automotive industry and is included in the TTEC Engage segment. This client contributed 10.5 % and 9.1 % of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company had one client that contributed in excess of 10% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021; this client operates in the financial services sector. This client contributed 7.4 % and 13.3 % of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company does have clients with aggregate revenue exceeding $ 100 million annually and the loss of one or more of these clients could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, or financial condition. To mitigate this risk, the Company has multiple contracts with these larger clients, where each individual contract is for an amount below the $100 million aggregate.
To limit the Company’s credit risk with its clients, management performs periodic credit evaluations, maintains allowances for credit losses and may require pre-payment for services from certain clients. Based on currently available information, management does not believe significant credit risk existed as of September 30, 2022.

Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement
The Company is party to an Uncommitted Receivables Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Bank of the West (“Bank”), whereby from time-to-time the Company may elect to sell, on a revolving basis, U.S. accounts receivables of certain clients at a discount to the Bank for cash on a limited recourse basis. The maximum amount of receivables that the Company may sell to the Bank at any given time shall not exceed $ 100 million. The sales of accounts receivable in accordance with the Agreement are reflected as a reduction of Accounts Receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has retained no interest in the sold receivables but retains all collection responsibilities on behalf of the Bank. The discount on the accounts receivable sold will be recorded within Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The cash proceeds from this Agreement are included in the change in accounts receivable within the operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.
As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had factored $ 85.6 million and $ 97.7 million, respectively, of accounts receivable; under the Agreement discounts on these receivables were not material during the quarter. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had collected $ 10.0 million of cash from customers which had not been remitted to the Bank. The unremitted cash is restricted cash and is included within Prepaid and other current assets with the corresponding liability included in Accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has not recorded any servicing assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2022 as the fair value of the servicing arrangement as well as the fees earned were not material to the financial statements.
Effective November 1, 2022, the Company amended the arrangement to modify the list of eligible clients who may be sold pursuant to the Agreement, and to memorialize the transition from LIBOR to SOFR for discount calculation purposes.

(6) DERIVATIVES
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company enters into foreign exchange related derivatives. Foreign exchange derivatives entered into consist of forward and option contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that are associated with forecasted revenue earned in foreign locations. Upon proper qualification, these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. It is the Company’s policy to only enter into derivative contracts with investment grade counterparty financial institutions, and correspondingly, the fair value of derivative assets considers, among other factors, the creditworthiness of these counterparties. Conversely, the fair value of derivative liabilities reflects the Company’s creditworthiness. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has not experienced, nor does it anticipate, any issues related to derivative counterparty defaults. The following table summarizes the aggregate unrealized net gain or loss in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands and net of tax):

(7) FAIR VALUE
The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires that the Company maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
The following presents information as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 for the Company’s assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the fair value hierarchy used to determine their fair value.
Accounts Receivable and Payable - The amounts recorded in the accompanying balance sheets approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.
Investments – The Company measures investments, including cost and equity method investments, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The fair values of these investments are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include market observable inputs, and discounted cash flow projections. An impairment charge is recorded when the cost of the investment exceeds its fair value and this condition is determined to be other-than-temporary.
Debt - The Company’s debt consists primarily of the Company’s Credit Facility, which permits floating-rate borrowings based upon the current Prime Rate or LIBOR plus a credit spread as determined by the Company’s leverage ratio calculation (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $ 955.0 million and $ 791.0 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility. During the third quarter of 2022 outstanding borrowings accrued interest at an average rate of 3.5 % per annum, excluding unused commitment fees. The amounts recorded in the accompanying Balance Sheets approximate fair value due to the variable nature of the debt based on Level 2 inputs.
Derivatives - Net derivative assets (liabilities) are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The portfolio is valued using models based on market observable inputs, including both forward and spot foreign exchange rates, interest rates, implied volatility, and counterparty credit risk, including the ability of each party to execute its obligations under the contract. As of September 30, 2022, credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts.

The table above has been updated from the amounts included as of December 31, 2021 presented in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 3, 2022 to include the fair value of the investments maintained as an asset for the deferred compensation plan.
Deferred Compensation Plan — The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan structured as a Rabbi trust for certain eligible employees. The plan assets are invested in a variety of equity and bond mutual funds. The deferred compensation asset represents the combined fair value of all the funds based on quoted values and market observable inputs.
Contingent Consideration - The Company recorded contingent consideration payable related to the acquisitions of the U.S. and U.K. assets of VoiceFoundry (“VFUS”) and the remaining VoiceFoundry business (“VF ASEAN”) that closed during 2020, and Faneuil that closed in 2022. The contingent payable for VF US was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation including a discount rate of 23.1 %. The contingent payable for VF ASEAN was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation including a discount rate of 18.4 %. The contingent payables for Faneuil were calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation including a discount rate of 19.3 %. The measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market. The Company records interest expense each period using the effective interest method until the future value of these contingent payments reaches the expected total future value.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the first quarter of 2021, the second quarter of 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company recorded fair value adjustments to the contingent consideration associated with the VF US and VF ASEAN acquisitions based on increased actual results and estimates of EBITDA for 2021 which caused the payables to increase. Accordingly, a combined $ 4.3 million increase, $ 0.9 million increase, $ 0.2 million increase and a $ 0.1 million increase to the payables were recorded as of December 31, 2020, March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and were included in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The future contingent consideration for the VF US and VF ASEAN acquisitions were finalized at $ 9.6 million and were paid during March 2022.
During the third quarter of 2022, a fair value adjustment of $ 2.4 million net benefit was recorded related to fair value adjustments of the estimated contingent payments associated with the Faneuil acquisition based on updated discount factor for one contract and a complete reduction for the second contract as it was not awarded to the Company. The fair value adjustment benefit was included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Contingent Receivables – The Company recorded a contingent receivable related to the Faneuil acquisition that closed in 2022. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment for the receivable based on current information which caused the receivable to decrease, and a $ 4.4 million expense was included in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

(8) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
During each of the periods presented, the Company evaluated the recoverability of its leasehold improvement assets at certain customer engagement centers as well as all internally developed software projects. An asset group is considered to be impaired when the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows of its asset group is estimated to be less than the asset group’s carrying value. The amount of impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its fair value. To determine fair value, the Company used Level 3 inputs in its discounted cash flows analysis. Assumptions included the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized impairment losses, net related to leasehold improvements assets, right of use lease assets, internally developed software and certain computer equipment of $ 2.9 million and $ 13.3 million, respectively, across the TTEC Digital and TTEC Engage segments.
(9) INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting literature for income taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of transactions that have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Quarterly, the Company assesses the likelihood that its net deferred tax assets will be recovered. Based on the weight of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that a future tax benefit will not be realized. The Company’s selection of an accounting policy with respect to both the global intangible low taxed foreign income (“GILTI”) and base erosion and anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) rules is to compute the related taxes in the period the entity becomes subject to either GILTI or BEAT.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $ 19.5 million of net deferred tax assets (after a $ 25.0 million valuation allowance) and a net deferred tax asset of $ 15.2 million (after deferred tax liabilities of $ 4.3 million) related to the United States and international tax jurisdictions whose recoverability is dependent upon future profitability.
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 15.2 % and 17.7 %, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was 30.6 % and 21.9 %, respectively.
The Company’s U.S. income tax returns filed for the tax years ending December 31, 2017 to present, remain open tax years . The Company has been notified of the intent to audit or is currently under audit of income taxes for the United States for tax year 2017 and 2018 , the Philippines for tax year 2020 , the state of California for tax years 2017 through 2018 , the state of Washington for tax years 2017 through 2019 , the state of Missouri for tax years 2019 and 2020 , and India for tax years 2017 through 2019. Although the outcome of examinations by taxing authorities are always uncertain, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these audits will not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
When there is a change in judgment concerning the recovery of deferred tax assets in future periods, a valuation allowance is recorded into earnings during the quarter in which the change in judgment occurred. In the first, third and fourth quarters of 2021, changes to the valuation allowance were recorded in the amount of $ 2.4 million, $ 6.4 million and $ 5.1 million, respectively, for assets that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” standard. In the first, second and third quarters of 2022, $ 1.3 million, $ 0.6 million and $ 2.5 million, respectively, were released from the valuation allowance for assets that are expected to be recognized in the future.
The Company has been granted “Tax Holidays” as an incentive to attract foreign investment by the government of the Philippines. Generally, a Tax Holiday is an agreement between the Company and a foreign government under which the Company receives certain tax benefits in that country, such as exemption from taxation on profits derived from export-related activities. In the Philippines, the Company has been granted multiple agreements with an initial period of tax at 0% for four years, which will be fully expired in 2022 and additional periods at a reduced tax rate, expiring at various times beginning in 2030. The aggregate benefit to income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $ 0.3 million and $ 0.5 million, respectively, which had an impact on diluted net income per share of $ 0.01 and $ 0.01 , respectively. The aggregate effect on income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, was approximately $ 1.3 million and $ 4.2 million benefit, respectively, which had an impact on diluted net income per share of $ 0.03 and $ 0.09 , respectively.
(10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Credit Facility
On November 23, 2021 , the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) originally dated June 3, 2013, (collectively, the “Credit Facility”) to convert the $300 million term loan included in the total Credit Facility commitments, that was previously agreed on March 25, 2021 as part of the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, into a $ 1.5 billion senior secured revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of lenders led by Wells Fargo, National Association, as agent, swingline and fronting lender. The Credit Facility matures on November 23, 2026. We primarily use our Credit Facility to fund working capital, general operations, dividends, acquisitions and other strategic activities.
On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment to its Credit Agreement and Credit Facility to increase the total commitments by $ 300 million to $ 1.2 billion by exercising the accordion feature that was included in the senior secured revolving credit facility. The $300 million increase was in the form of a term loan, could be prepaid anytime and would become due February 14, 2024, contemporaneously with the expiration of the revolving line of credit.

The maximum commitment under the Credit Facility is $ 1.5 billion in the aggregate, if certain conditions are satisfied. The Credit Facility commitment fees are payable to the lenders in an amount equal to the unused portion of the Credit Facility multiplied by a rate per annum as determined by reference to the Company’s net leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants. The Credit Agreement permits accounts receivable factoring up to the greater of $ 100 million or 25 percent of the average book value of all accounts receivable over the most recent twelve-month period. The Credit Agreement also permits the utilization of up to $100 million of limits within the Credit Facility for letters of credit to be used in the business.
Base rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the greatest of (i) Wells Fargo’s prime rate, (ii) one half of 1% in excess of the federal funds effective rate, and (iii) 1.25 % in excess of the one month LIBOR; plus in each case a margin of 0 % to 0.75 % based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. Eurodollar loans bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.0 % to 1.75 % based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. Alternate currency loans bear interest at rates applicable to their respective currencies.
Letter of credit fees are one eighth of 1% of the stated amount of the letter of credit on the date of issuance, renewal or amendment, plus an annual fee equal to the borrowing margin for Eurodollar loans.
The Company primarily utilizes its Credit Facility to fund working capital, general operations, dividends and other strategic activities, such as the acquisitions described in Note 2. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had borrowings of $ 955.0 million and $ 791.0 million, respectively, under its Credit Facility, and its average daily utilization was $ 1,023.6 million and $ 747.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During early April 2021, the Company increased borrowings by approximately $ 500 million in connection with the acquisition of Avtex (see Note 2). Based on the current level of availability based on the covenant calculations, the Company’s remaining borrowing capacity was approximately $ 370 million as of September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions under its Credit Agreement.
Letters of Credit
As of September 30, 2022, outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility totaled $ 2.6 million and primarily guaranteed workers’ compensation and other insurance related obligations. As of September 30, 2022, letters of credit and contract performance guarantees issued outside of the Credit Agreement totaled $ 0.3 million.
Guarantees
Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain of the Company’s present and future domestic subsidiaries.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company has been involved in legal actions, both as plaintiff and defendant, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for exposures associated with such legal actions to the extent that losses are deemed both probable and reasonably estimable. To the extent specific reserves have not been made for certain legal proceedings, their ultimate outcome, and consequently, an estimate of possible loss, if any, cannot reasonably be determined at this time.
Based on currently available information and advice received from counsel, the Company believes that the disposition or ultimate resolution of any current legal proceedings, except as otherwise specifically reserved for in its financial statements, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

(11) DEFERRED REVENUE AND REMAINING PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS
Revenue recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from amounts included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 was $ 196.5 million. Revenue recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from amounts included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2020 was $ 126.0 million.
Remaining performance obligations (RPO) represent the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, including both deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods. The Company’s RPO excludes performance obligations from on-demand arrangements as there are no minimum purchase commitments associated with these arrangements, and certain time and materials contracts that are billed in arrears.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s RPO was $ 293.8 million, which will be delivered and recognized within the next three year s. However, the amount and timing of revenue recognition are generally driven by customer consumption, which can extend beyond the original contract term in cases where customers are permitted to roll over unused capacity to future periods, generally upon the purchase of additional capacity at renewal.
