NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of DHI Group, Inc. (“DHI” or the “Company” or "we," "our" or "us") have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted and condensed pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments have been made to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year or any other future period.
Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the condensed consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ materially from management’s estimates reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025.
2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new accounting standard requires more detailed disclosures regarding the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of the standard on the Company's financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 will require companies to disaggregate, within the notes to the financial statements, certain expenses presented on the face of the financial statements to enhance transparency and help investors better understand an entity's performance. The amendment will specifically require that an entity disclose the amounts related to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. Entities will also be required to provide a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, provide a definition of what constitutes selling expenses. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") topic on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. As a basis for considering assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy is used, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
•Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
•Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and long-term debt approximate their fair values. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is based on Level 2 inputs.
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment. Such instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. These assets include equity investments, operating lease right-of-use assets, and goodwill and intangible assets which resulted from prior acquisitions. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable.
4. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers at an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized net of customer discounts ratably over the service period. Customer billings delivered in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized over the service period. The Company generates revenue from recruitment packages, advertising, classifieds, and virtual and live career fair and recruitment event booth rentals.

| Short-term contract liabilities (deferred revenue) | | 46,482 | | | 44,934 | |
| Long-term contract liabilities (deferred revenue) | | 376 | | | 522 | |
We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; accounts receivable are recorded when customers are invoiced per the contractual billings schedules. As the Company's standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company elected the practical expedient, where applicable. As a result, the Company does not consider the effects of a significant financing component. Contract liabilities include customer billings delivered in advance of performance under the contract, and associated revenue is realized when services are rendered under the contract.
Receivables increase due to customer billings and decrease by cash collected from customers. Contract liabilities increase due to customer billings and are decreased as performance obligations are satisfied under the contracts.

Credit Losses
The Company is exposed to credit losses through the inability of its customers to make required payments on accounts receivable. The Company segments accounts receivable based on credit risk characteristics and estimates future losses for each segment based on historical trends and current market conditions, as applicable. Expected losses on accounts receivable are recorded as allowance for doubtful accounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and as an expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The portion of accounts receivable that is reflected as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets is not considered at risk for credit losses. If the financial condition of DHI’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
5. RESTRUCTURING
In July 2024, the Company announced an organizational restructuring intended to streamline its operations, drive business objectives, and reduce operating costs. This included a reduction of the Company’s then-current workforce by approximately 7%. As a result of the restructuring, the Company recognized a charge of $1.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. All severance costs related to the July 2024 restructuring were paid during the year ended December 31, 2024.
In January 2025, the Company announced an additional organizational restructuring intended to separate its two brands, ClearanceJobs and Dice, into distinct divisions, provide dedicated leadership for each brand to foster a unified vision and strategy tailored to each brands' market dynamics, and to reduce operating costs. This restructuring included a reduction of the Company’s then-current workforce by approximately 8%. As a result of the restructuring, the Company recognized a charge of $2.3 million during the first quarter of 2025 related to employee severance costs, of which substantially all was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
In June 2025, the Company announced an additional organizational restructuring intended to reduce the operating costs of its Dice brand. This includes a reduction of the Company’s current workforce by approximately 25% primarily by reducing headcount within the Company's Dice brand and associated back-office support. As a result of the restructuring, the Company recognized a charge of $4.2 million during the second quarter of 2025 related to severance costs, of which $0.2 million was paid during the period.
6. LEASES
The Company has operating leases for corporate office space and certain equipment. The leases have original terms from one year to ten years, some of which include options to renew the lease, and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option.

7. INVESTMENTS
eFinancialCareers
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company sold a portion of its ownership in eFinancialCareers ("eFC") reducing its total interest in eFC from 40% to 10%. As a result of the sale, the Company received cash of $4.9 million and recognized a $0.6 million gain, which included a $0.2 million charge related to accumulated foreign currency loss that was previously a reduction to equity. The Company's investment in eFC was recorded at $1.8 million as of each of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
eFC is a financial services careers website, operating websites in multiple markets in four languages mainly across the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North America. Professionals from across many sectors of the financial services industry, including asset management, risk management, investment banking, and information technology, use eFC to advance their careers. The Company has evaluated its common share interest in the eFC business and has determined the investment meets the definition and criteria of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). The Company evaluated the VIE and determined that the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in the VIE, as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance. The common share interest is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over eFC. The investment was recorded at its fair value on June 30, 2021, the date of transfer, which was $3.6 million. The Company's equity in the net assets of eFC as of June 30, 2021 was $2.2 million. The difference between the Company's recorded value and its equity in net assets of eFC was reduced during the third quarter of 2023, as described above, as the Company reduced its ownership in eFC. The remaining basis difference at the time of sale was $0.3 million and is being amortized against the recorded value of the investment in accordance with ASC 323 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Amortization expense during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was not significant. The recorded value is further adjusted based on the Company's proportionate share of eFC's net income and is recorded three months in arrears. The Company recorded income related to its proportionate share of eFC's net income, net of currency translation adjustments and amortization of the basis difference, of approximately zero for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and recorded $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
Other
During 2021, the Company invested $3.0 million through a subordinated convertible promissory note (the "Note") with a values-based career destination company that allows the next generation workforce to search for jobs at companies whose people, perks and values align with their unique professional needs. The investment was recorded as a trading security at fair value and was recorded at $3.0 million as of December 31, 2021.
In the third quarter of 2022, the Note was converted into preferred shares representing 4.9% of the outstanding equity in the underlying business, on a fully-diluted basis. The Company's preferred shares were substantially similar to shares purchased by

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
a third party investor that resulted in such investor becoming the majority owner of the business. Therefore the Company's shares in the business were recorded at fair value based on the price per share realized in the conversion. The value of the Company's investment was $0.7 million as of December 31, 2022 and was recorded as an investment in the consolidated balance sheet.
During the third quarter of 2023, the investment's financial position deteriorated. To meet its financial obligations, the investment issued convertible debt at a price that indicated the value of the investment had declined. As such, the Company revalued its investment to $0.4 million and accordingly, recognized an impairment loss of $0.3 million during the third quarter of 2023.
During the first quarter of 2024, the investment's financial position further deteriorated. To meet its financial obligations, the investment issued additional convertible debt at a price that indicated the value of the investment had declined. As such, the Company revalued its investment to zero and accordingly, recognized an impairment loss of $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2024. The Company's ownership of the investment, on a fully diluted basis, as of June 30, 2025 is less than 0.10%.
At June 30, 2025, the Company held preferred stock representing a 6.6% interest in the fully diluted shares of a tech skills assessment company. The investment is recorded at zero as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company recorded no gain or loss related to the investment during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
8. ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the Company had an indefinite-lived acquired intangible asset of $23.8 million related to the Dice trademarks and brand name. Considering the recognition of the Dice brand, its long history, awareness in the talent acquisition and staffing services market, and the intended use, the remaining useful life of the Dice trademarks and brand name was determined to be indefinite. We determine whether the carrying value of recorded indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets is impaired on an annual basis or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. The annual impairment test for the Dice trademarks and brand name is performed on October 1 of each year. The impairment review process compares the fair value of the indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recorded.
The determination of whether or not indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets have become impaired involves a significant level of judgment in the assumptions underlying the approach used to determine the value of the indefinite-lived acquired intangible assets. Fair values are determined using a profit allocation methodology which estimates the value of the trademarks and brand name by capitalizing the profits saved because the company owns the asset. We consider factors such as historical performance, anticipated market conditions, operating expense trends and capital expenditure requirements. Changes in our strategy and/or changes in market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded amounts of intangible assets. If projections are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in the foreseeable future.
The projections utilized in the October 1, 2024 analysis included increasing revenues at rates approximating industry growth projections. The Company’s ability to achieve these revenue projections may be impacted by, among other things, uncertainty related to demand for technology professionals, competition in the technology recruiting market, challenges in developing and introducing new products and product enhancements to the market and the Company’s ability to attribute value delivered to customers. If future cash flows that are attributable to the Dice trademarks and brand name are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in a future period.
There were no indicators of impairment for the Dice trademarks and brand name for the three month period ended June 30, 2025. Therefore, no quantitative impairment test was performed as of June 30, 2025. No impairment was recorded during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
9. GOODWILL
Goodwill as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $120.3 million and $128.1 million, respectively. During the first quarter of 2025, in connection with the organizational restructuring, which is further described in Note 5, the Company performed an interim impairment test of the Tech-focused reporting unit immediately prior to the restructuring, then allocated its goodwill into the two new reporting units, ClearanceJobs and Dice, based the relative fair value of each reporting unit, and finally tested each reporting unit's goodwill for impairment.
Table of Contents
DHI GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interim impairment test performed immediately prior to the organizational restructuring indicated that the fair value of the Tech-focused reporting unit was substantially in excess of the carrying value as of the date of the organizational restructuring.
The prior Tech-focused reporting unit's goodwill of $128.1 million was allocated to ClearanceJobs and Dice based on their relative fair values, which resulted in goodwill for ClearanceJobs and Dice of $97.4 million and $30.7 million, respectively.
The impairment test performed immediately after the allocation for the ClearanceJobs reporting unit indicated that the fair value was substantially in excess of the carrying value as of the date of the organizational restructuring. The impairment test performed immediately after the allocation for the Dice reporting unit resulted in the Company recording an impairment charge of $7.4 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2025. Subsequent to the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2025, the Company identified an error in the goodwill impairment charge recorded in the Dice reporting unit during the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The total impairment charge for the period ending March 31, 2025 was understated by $0.4 million. Management has evaluated quantitative and qualitative factors for this misstatement and has concluded it was not material to the prior period. The Company will also correct previously reported financial information for such immaterial errors in future filings.
The Dice projections utilized in the organizational restructuring impairment test included increasing revenues at rates approximating industry growth projections. The Company’s ability to achieve these revenue projections may be impacted by, among other things, demand for technology professionals, competition in the technology recruiting market, challenges in developing and introducing new products and product enhancements to the market and the Company’s ability to attribute value delivered to customers. If future cash flows that are attributable to the Dice reporting unit are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in a future period. It is reasonably possible that changes in judgments, assumptions and estimates the Company made in assessing the fair value of goodwill could cause the Company to consider some portion or all of the goodwill of the Dice reporting unit to become impaired. In addition, a future decline in the overall market conditions, demand for technology professionals, and/or changes in the Company’s market share could negatively impact the estimated future cash flows and discount rates used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit and could result in an impairment charge in the foreseeable future.
The annual impairment test for the ClearanceJobs and Dice reporting units will be performed on October 1 of each year. The Company’s ability to achieve the projections used in the organizational restructuring analysis may be impacted by, among other things, general market conditions, competition in the technology recruiting market, challenges in developing and introducing new products and product enhancements to the market and the Company’s ability to attribute value delivered to customers. If future cash flows that are attributable to the ClearanceJobs and Dice reporting units are not achieved, the Company could realize an impairment in a future period.
There were no indicators of impairment for the ClearanceJobs and Dice reporting units for the three month period ended June 30, 2025. Therefore, no quantitative impairment test was performed as of June 30, 2025. No impairment was recorded during the three month period ended June 30, 2025 and the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment were as follows (in thousands):

revolving loan facility of $100 million, with an expansion option of $50 million, bringing the total facility to $150 million, as permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest, payable at least quarterly, at the Company’s option, at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or a base rate plus a margin. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in pounds sterling, if any, bear interest at the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% on SOFR and SONIA loans and 1.00% to 1.75% on base rate loans, determined by the Company’s most recent consolidated leverage ratio, plus an additional spread of 0.10%.

All borrowings as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were in U.S. dollars. The facility may be prepaid at any time without penalty.
The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants and also contains certain financial covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. Borrowings are allowed under the Credit Agreement to the extent the consolidated leverage ratio is equal to or less than 2.50 to 1.00, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. Negative covenants include restrictions on incurring certain liens; making certain payments, such as stock repurchases and dividend payments; making certain investments; making certain acquisitions; making certain dispositions; and incurring additional indebtedness. Restricted payments are allowed under the Credit Agreement to the extent the consolidated leverage ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis, is equal to or less than 2.00 to 1.00, plus an additional $7.5 million of restricted payments each fiscal year, as described in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also provides that the payment of obligations may be accelerated upon the occurrence of events of default, including, but not limited to, non-payment, change of control, or insolvency. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company is subject to various claims from taxing authorities, lawsuits and other complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records provisions for losses when claims become probable and the amounts are reasonably estimable. Although the outcome of these legal matters, except as described below and recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements, cannot be determined, it is the opinion of management that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, operations or liquidity.
Tax Contingencies
The Company operates in a number of tax jurisdictions and is routinely subject to examinations by various tax authorities with respect to income taxes and indirect taxes. The determination of the Company’s liability for taxes requires judgment and estimation. The Company has reserved for potential examination adjustments to our provision for income taxes and accrual of indirect taxes in amounts which the Company believes are reasonable.
12. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
Stock Repurchase Plans—The Company's Board of Directors ("Board") has approved stock repurchase programs that permit the Company to repurchase its common stock. Management has discretion in determining the conditions under which shares may be purchased from time to time. The number, price, structure, and timing of the repurchases, if any, are at our sole discretion and future repurchases are evaluated by us depending on market conditions, liquidity needs, restrictions under the agreements governing our indebtedness, and other factors. Share repurchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase authorizations do not oblige us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock. The Board may suspend, modify, or terminate a repurchase program at any time without prior notice. The following table summarizes the stock repurchase plans approved by the Board:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

No shares of the Company's common stock were purchased other than through the stock repurchase plans and the 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, as Amended and Restated, as described above.
Section 382 Rights Plan—On January 28, 2025, the Company adopted a shareholder rights plan designed to protect stockholder value by preserving the availability of the Company’s net capital loss carryforwards (“Carryforwards”) and other tax attributes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (such plan, the “Section 382 Rights Plan”). The Section 382 Rights Plan aims to preserve the Company's Carryforwards by creating a disincentive for any stockholder to accumulate beneficial ownership of 4.99% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock, or to further accumulate the Company's common stock if the stockholder's beneficial ownership already exceeds 4.99% in each case without the approval of the Company's Board of Directors in order to reduce the likelihood of an "ownership change" under Section 382 of the Code occurring, which could restrict the Company's ability to utilize its Carryforwards.
In connection with the adoption of the Section 382 Rights Plan, the Board declared a non-taxable dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock to the Company's stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 7, 2025. Each Right entitles its holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of the Company's Series 1 Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series 1 Participating Preferred Stock") at an exercise price of $17.00 per Right, subject to adjustment. As a result of the Section 382 Rights Plan, any person or group that acquires beneficial ownership of 4.99% or more of the Company's common stock without the approval of the Board would be subject to significant dilution in the ownership interest of that person or group. Stockholders who owned 4.99% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock as of February 7, 2025 will not trigger the Rights unless they acquire additional shares after that date.
Convertible Preferred Stock—As of December 31, 2024 the Company had 20 million shares of convertible preferred stock authorized, with a $0.01 par value. No shares have been issued and outstanding since prior to our initial public offering in 2007. The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation permits the terms of any preferred stock to be determined at the time of issuance. Simultaneously with the adoption of the Section 382 Rights Plan on January 28, 2025, the authorized but unissued convertible preferred stock, par value $0.01, have been cancelled.
Preferred Stock Purchase Rights—Pursuant to the Section 382 Rights Plan, the Company has authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one Right for each outstanding share of Common Stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 7, 2025 ("Record Date"). Subject to certain limitations, the Rights will be separate from the common stock and become exercisable following (1) the 10th business day (or such later date as may be determined by the Board) after the public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (such person or group an "Acquiring Person") has acquired beneficial ownership of 4.99% or more of the common stock or (2) the 10th business day (or such later date as may be determined by the Board) after a person or group announces a tender or exchange offer that would result in ownership by a person or group of 4.99% or more of the common stock. The date on which the Rights separate from the common stock and become exercisable is referred to as the "Distribution Date." Following the Distribution Date, each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series 1 Participating Preferred Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $17.00 (the “Exercise Price”), subject to adjustment. Each one-thousandth of a share of Series 1 Preferred Stock will not be redeemable; will be entitled to a quarterly dividend equal to the higher of $0.001 or an amount equal to the dividend paid on one share of common stock; will be entitled upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company to the higher of $1 or the per share amount distributed to Common Stock in such transaction; will have the same voting power per share of common stock and generally vote together with the common stock; and will be entitled to

receive in a merger, consolidation or similar transaction of the Company the per share consideration payable to common stock in such transaction.

13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On July 13, 2022, the stockholders of the Company approved the DHI Group, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, which had been previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors on May 13, 2022 (the "2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan"). The 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan generally mirrors the terms of the Company's prior omnibus equity award plan, which expired in accordance with its terms on April 20, 2022 (the "2012 Omnibus Equity Award Plan"). On April 26, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved the DHI Group, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, as Amended and Restated, which had been previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 16, 2023 (the "2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, as Amended and Restated"). The 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan was amended and restated to, among other things, increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance as equity awards under the plan by 2.9 million shares. The Company has previously granted restricted stock and PSUs to certain employees and directors pursuant to the 2012 Omnibus Equity Award Plan and the 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan and will continue to grant restricted stock and PSUs to certain employees and directors pursuant to the 2022 Omnibus Equity Award Plan, as Amended and Restated. The Company also offers an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
The Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $1.5 million and $2.6 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $2.2 million and $4.3 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, respectively. At June 30, 2025, there was $7.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.0 years.
Restricted Stock—Restricted stock is granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, and to non-employee members of the Company’s Board. These shares are part of the compensation plan for services provided by the employees or Board members. The closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant is used to determine the fair value of the grants. The expense related to restricted stock grants is recorded over the vesting period as described below. There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants.
Restricted stock vests in various increments on the anniversaries of each grant, subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date. Vesting occurs over one year for Board members and over three years for employees.
A summary of the status of restricted stock awards as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 and the changes during the periods then ended is presented below:

PSUs—PSUs are granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. These shares are granted under compensation agreements that are for services provided by the employees. The fair value of the PSUs is measured at the grant date fair value of the award, which was determined based on an analysis of the probable performance outcomes. The performance period is over one year and is based on the achievement of bookings targets during the year of grant, as defined in the applicable award agreement. The earned shares will then vest over a three year period, one-third on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, or if later, the date the Compensation Committee certifies the performance results with respect to the performance period.
There was no cash flow impact resulting from the grants.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION
In connection with the organizational restructuring in the first quarter of 2025, as described in note 5, the Company changed its reportable segments to reflect the current operating structure. Accordingly, prior periods have been recast to reflect the current segment presentation. Management has organized its reportable segments based upon our internal management reporting and information provided to the chief operating decision maker "CODM" after the restructuring was completed.
The Company previously reported one segment, Tech-focused. Information previously reported in the Tech-focused segment has been separated into ClearanceJobs ("CJ") and Dice, and the Company has two reportable segments: ClearanceJobs and Dice.
ClearanceJobs is an online career community dedicated to connecting security-cleared professionals with employers in a secure and private environment to fill the jobs that safeguard our nation. Authorized U.S. government contractors, federal agencies, national laboratories and universities utilize ClearanceJobs to find candidates with specific, active or current security clearance requirements in a range of disciplines. The platform provides opportunities for employers and candidates to engage in real-time through messaging and live video, and for employers to promote differentiators through a multitude of branding products and features.
Dice is a destination for technology and engineering talent in the United States to find relevant job opportunities. The job postings available on Dice, from both technology and non-technology companies across many industries, include positions for software engineers, big data professionals, systems administrators, database specialists, project managers, and a variety of other technology and engineering professionals.
Corporate includes general overhead not directly consumed by the segments such as interest expense, public company costs, compensation of certain executives and other professional fees. Corporate assets include all cash and cash equivalents, income tax related assets, and certain prepaid public company costs.
The Company has included additional disclosures regarding significant expenses regularly provided to our CODM. The Company’s CODM is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Given the restructuring from one to two segments, the measure of segment profit or loss has changed from consolidated net income to Adjusted EBITDA. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to allocate resources to each segment, predominately through a budgeting and forecasting process. The CODM utilizes segment revenue, operating expenses and Adjusted EBITDA when making decisions about resource allocations. Resource allocation decisions include, among other things, investing in product development, sales and marketing, employee compensation, and stockholder programs.
All operations are in the United States and the Company does not have revenues and long-lived assets, which includes fixed assets and lease right of use assets, outside of the United States. The CODM is not provided assets in evaluating the results of the segments, and therefore, such information is not provided, except capital expenditures. The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
The following table provides an analysis of results by reportable segment (in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report. See also our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and the section entitled “Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Information contained herein contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You should not place undue reliance on those statements because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, information concerning our possible or assumed future financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, including expectations (financial or otherwise), our strategy, plans, objectives, and intentions, and growth potential. These statements often include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or similar expressions. These statements are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: our ability to execute our tech-focused strategy; write-offs of goodwill, tradename and intangible assets; backlog not accurately representing future revenue; competition from existing and future competitors; changes in the recruiting and career services business and technologies, and the development of new products and services; failure to develop and maintain our reputation and brand recognition; failure to increase or maintain the number of customers who purchase recruitment packages; failure to attract qualified professionals or grow the number of qualified professionals who use our websites; inability to successfully integrate future acquisitions or identify and consummate future acquisitions; misappropriation or misuse of our intellectual property, claims against us for intellectual property infringement or the failure to enforce our ownership or use of intellectual property; failure of our businesses to attract, retain and engage users; unfavorable decisions in proceedings related to future tax assessments; taxation risks in various jurisdictions for past or future sales; significant downturn not immediately reflected in our operating results; our indebtedness and the potential inability to borrow funds under our Credit Agreement (as defined below); our ability to incur additional debt; covenants in our Credit Agreement; the development and use of artificial intelligence; failure to timely and efficiently scale and adapt our existing technology and network infrastructure; capacity constraints, systems failures or breaches of network security; the usefulness of our candidate profiles; decrease in user engagement; Internet search engine methodologies and their impact on our search result rankings; failure to halt the operations of websites that aggregate our data, as well as data from other companies; our reliance on third-party data hosting facilities; compliance with laws and regulations concerning collection, storage and use of professionals’ professional and personal information; U.S. regulation of the internet; a review of strategic alternatives may occur from time to time and the possibility that such review will not result in a transaction; loss of key executives and technical personnel and our ability to attract and retain key executives, including our CEO; increases in the unemployment rate, cyclicality or downturns in the United States or worldwide economies or the industries we serve, labor shortages, or job shortages; litigation related to infringement or other claims regarding our services or content; our ability to defend ownership of our intellectual property; global climate change; compliance with changing corporate governance requirements and costs incurred in connection with being a public company; compliance with the continued listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange; volatility in our stock price; differences between estimates of financial projections and future results; failure to maintain internal controls over financial reporting; results of operations fluctuating on a quarterly and annual basis; our Section 382 Rights Plan may have an anti-takeover effect; anti takeover provisions in our governing documents making changes to management difficult; and disruption resulting from unsolicited offers to purchase the company. These factors and others are discussed in more detail below and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by us herein, or elsewhere, speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible to predict these events or how they may affect us. We have no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof, except as required by federal securities laws.
In addition, information contained herein contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for definitions of these measures as well as reconciliations to the mostly directly comparable GAAP measure.
Overview
We are a provider of software products, online tools and services that deliver career marketplaces to candidates and employers in the United States. DHI’s brands, ClearanceJobs and Dice, enable recruiters and hiring managers to efficiently search, match and connect with highly skilled technologists in specialized fields, particularly technology and active government security clearance. Professionals find ideal employment opportunities, relevant job advice and personalized data that help manage their technologist lives.
In online recruitment, we specialize in employment categories in which there has been a long-term scarcity of highly skilled, highly qualified professionals relative to market demand, specifically technologists who work in a variety of industries or have active government security clearances. Our websites serve as online two-sided marketplaces where employers and recruiters source and connect with prospective employees, and where technologists find relevant job opportunities, data and information to further their careers. Our websites offer job postings, news and content, career development and recruiting services tailored to the specific needs of the professional community that each website serves.
We have been in the recruiting and career development business for over 30 years. Based on our prior operating structure, we had identified one reportable segment, Tech-focused, which included the ClearanceJobs and Dice businesses and corporate related costs. In connection with the organizational restructuring in the first quarter of 2025, the Company changed its reportable segments to ClearanceJobs and Dice, which reflects the current operating structure. The Company incurs certain costs that are not directly attributable to the segments and are included in Corporate. Accordingly, prior periods have been recast to reflect the current segment presentation. We have organized our reportable segments based upon our internal management reporting.
Our Revenue and Expenses
We derive the majority of our revenue from customers who pay fees, either annually, quarterly or monthly, to post jobs on our websites and to access our searchable databases of resumes. Our fees vary by customer based on the number of individual users of our databases of resumes, the number and type of job postings and profile views purchased and the terms of the packages purchased, which are predominately annual agreements. Our Company sells recruitment packages, which comprise greater than 90% of our total revenue, that can include access to our databases of resumes and job posting capabilities. We believe the key metrics that are material to an analysis of our businesses are our total number of ClearanceJobs and Dice recruitment package customers and the revenue, on average, that these customers generate. The Company's management uses these metrics to monitor the current and future activity of the businesses. The tables below detail this customer data.

(1) Calculated by dividing recruitment package customer revenue by the daily average count of recruitment package customers during each month, adjusted to reflect a 30-day month. The simple average of each month is used to derive the amount for each period and then annualized to reflect 12 months. |
ClearanceJobs had 1,868 recruitment package customers as of June 30, 2025 compared to 2,009 as of June 30, 2024, a decrease of 7%, and average annual revenue per recruitment package customer increased $1,751, or 7%, from the prior year quarter. The increased revenue per recruitment package customer for ClearanceJobs was due to continued high demand for professionals with government security clearance and consistent product releases and enhancements driving activity on the site, along with lower renewals for its smaller customers. The lower customer count was due to lower renewals for ClearanceJobs' smaller customers as uncertainty continued around the timing and amount of federal defense contracting. Dice had 4,365 recruitment
package customers as of June 30, 2025, which was a decrease of 666, or 13%, and average annual revenue per recruitment package customer for Dice decreased by $860, or 5%, from the prior year quarter. The decrease in recruitment package customers and revenue per recruitment package customer was due to macroeconomic conditions causing customer counts and renewal rates to decline.
Deferred revenue, as shown on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, reflects customer billings made in advance of services being rendered. Backlog consists of deferred revenue plus customer contractual commitments not invoiced representing the value of future services to be rendered under committed contracts. We believe backlog to be an important measure of our business as it represents our ability to generate future revenue. A summary of our deferred revenue and backlog is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Comparison to Prior Year End | | Comparison Year Over Year |
| 6/30/2025 | | 12/31/2024 | | Increase (Decrease) | | Percent Change | | 6/30/2024 | | Increase (Decrease) | | Percent Change |
| Deferred Revenue | $ | 46,858 | | | $ | 45,456 | | | $ | 1,402 | | | 3 | % | | $ | 52,268 | | | $ | (5,410) | | | (10) | % |
| Contractual commitments not invoiced | 54,316 | | | 59,294 | | | (4,978) | | | (8) | % | | 51,431 | | | 2,885 | | | 6 | % |
Backlog(1) | $ | 101,174 | | | $ | 104,750 | | | $ | (3,576) | | | (3) | % | | $ | 103,699 | | | $ | (2,525) | | | (2) | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (1) Backlog consists of deferred revenue plus customer contractual commitments not invoiced representing the value of future services to be rendered under committed contracts. |
Backlog at June 30, 2025 decreased $3.6 million from December 31, 2024 and decreased $2.5 million from June 30, 2024. The decrease in backlog compared to both December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 was due to macroeconomic conditions causing lower demand for the Company's services.
Our contracts are subject to delay or default and contracts in the Company's backlog are subject to changes in the scope of services to be provided as well as adjustments to the costs relating to the applicable contracts. Backlog may also be affected by, among other things, external market and economic factors beyond our control. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the entirety of our backlog will be realized. The timing of new contracts and the mix of services can significantly affect backlog. Backlog at any given point in time may not accurately represent the future revenue that may be realized and should not be relied upon as a stand-alone indicator of future revenues.
To a lesser extent, we also generate revenue from advertising on our various websites, employer branding solutions or from lead generation and marketing solutions provided to our customers. Advertisements include various forms of rich media and banner advertising, text links, sponsorships, and custom content marketing solutions. Lead generation information utilizes advertising and other methods to deliver leads to customers. Employer branding pages provide an opportunity for customers to promote company culture and values to candidates.
The Company continues to evolve and present new software products and features to attract and engage qualified professionals and match them with employers. Our ability to grow our revenue will largely depend on our ability to grow our customer bases in the markets in which we operate by acquiring new customers while retaining a high proportion of the customers we currently serve, and to expand the breadth of services our customers purchase from us. We continue to make investments in our business and infrastructure to help us achieve our long-term growth objectives, such as the innovative products in the table below.
| | | | | | | | |

| 2025 | | 2024 |
| ClearanceJobs Expanded Multi-Factor Authentication, ClearanceJobs Live Enhancements, Candidate Experience Personalization | | ClearanceJobs Live, ClearanceJobs Pulse Newsfeed |
| Dice Technologist Dashboard, Easy Post for SmartRecruiters ATS, Candidate Home Feed Redesign | | Dice Recruiter App, Easy Post Integration, Discover Companies, TopResume Integration, Dice Privacy & Trust Center |
Other material factors that may affect our results of operations include our ability to attract qualified professionals that become engaged with our websites and our ability to attract customers with relevant job opportunities. The more qualified professionals
that use our websites, the more attractive our websites become to employers and advertisers, which in turn makes them more likely to become our customers, resulting positively on our results of operations. If we are unable to continue to attract qualified professionals to engage with our two-sided marketplaces, our customers may no longer find our services attractive, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations. Additionally, we need to ensure that our websites remain relevant in order to attract qualified professionals to our websites and to engage them in high-value tasks, such as posting resumes and/or applying for jobs.
The largest components of our expenses are personnel costs and marketing and sales expenditures. Personnel costs consist of salaries, benefits, and incentive compensation for our employees, including commissions for salespeople. Personnel costs are categorized in our statement of operations based on each employee’s principal function. Personnel costs incurred during the application development stage of internal use software and website development are recorded as fixed assets and amortized to depreciation expense in the statement of operations over the estimated useful life of the asset. Marketing expenditures primarily consist of online advertising, brand promotion and lead generation to employers and job seekers.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we experienced a decrease in revenue of $3.8 million, or 11%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Revenues for ClearanceJobs increased $0.1 million, or 1%, as compared to the same period in 2024. Continued demand for professionals with government clearance and consistent product releases and enhancements drove the small increase despite continued uncertainty around government contracting and defense spending. Revenue at Dice decreased $3.9 million, or 18%, compared to the same period in 2024 due to macroeconomic conditions continuing to drive lower renewal rates, lower new business activity and lower activity with Dice's non-annual products.

| (1) We had previously disclosed that career events were recorded within Dice. Career events have been reclassified between ClearanceJobs and Dice based on the nature of the event for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. |
We experienced a decrease in revenue of $7.5 million, or 10% during the six month period ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2024. Revenue at ClearanceJobs increased by $0.5 million, or 2%, as compared to the same period in 2024. Continued demand for professionals with government clearance and consistent product releases and enhancements drove the increase despite continued uncertainty around government contracting and defense spending. Revenue at Dice decreased by $8.0 million, or 18%, compared to the prior year due to macroeconomic conditions continuing to drive lower renewal rates, lower new business activity and lower activity with Dice's non-annual products.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have provided certain non-GAAP financial information as additional information for our operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or alternatives to measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. We believe the presentation of non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Company’s management uses these measures for reviewing the financial results of the Company and for budgeting and planning purposes. Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of items that management believes affect the comparability or underlying business trends in our condensed consolidated financial statements in the periods presented. The non-GAAP measures apply to consolidated results or other measures as shown within this document. The Company has provided required reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures below.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures used by management to measure operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as performance measures for internal monitoring and planning, including preparation of annual budgets, analyzing investment decisions and evaluating profitability and performance comparisons between us and our competitors. The Company also uses these measures to calculate amounts of performance-based compensation under the senior management incentive bonus program. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income plus (to the extent deducted in calculating such net income) interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and items such as non-cash stock-based compensation, certain write-offs in connection with indebtedness, impairment charges with respect to long-lived assets, expenses incurred in connection with an equity offering or any other offering of securities by the Company, extraordinary or non-recurring non-cash expenses or losses, losses from equity method investments, transaction costs in connection with the Credit Agreement, deferred revenue written off in connection with acquisition purchase accounting adjustments, write-off of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, impairment of investment and goodwill, severance and retention costs related to dispositions and reorganizations of the Company, restructuring charges and losses related to legal claims and fees that are unusual in nature or infrequent, minus (to the extent included in calculating such net income) non-cash income or gains, including income from equity method investments, interest income, business interruption insurance proceeds, and gains related to legal claims that are unusual in nature or infrequent.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is computed as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
We also consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as defined above, to be important indicators to investors because they provide information related to our ability to provide cash flows to meet future debt service, capital expenditures, working capital requirements, and to fund future growth. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as supplemental performance measures because we believe that these measures provide our Board of Directors (the "Board"), management and investors with additional information to measure our performance, provide comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense) and tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses), and to estimate our value.
We understand that although Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our liquidity or results as reported under GAAP. Some limitations are:
•Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
•Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
To compensate for these limitations, management evaluates our liquidity by considering the economic effect of excluded expense items independently, as well as in connection with its analysis of cash flows from operations and through the use of other financial measures, such as capital expenditure budget variances, investment spending levels and return on capital analysis.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue, operating income, net income, net income margin, cash provided by operating activities, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our profitability or liquidity.

Cash Flows
A summary of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| 2025 | | 2024 |
| Cash from operating activities | $ | 9,114 | | | $ | 11,150 | |
| Cash used in investing activities | $ | (4,185) | | | $ | (7,913) | |
| Cash used in financing activities | $ | (5,849) | | | $ | (4,488) | |
We have financed our operations primarily through cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2025, we had cash of $2.8 million compared to $3.7 million at December 31, 2024.
Liquidity
Our principal internal sources of liquidity are cash, as well as the cash flow that we generate from our operations. In addition, we had $41.0 million in borrowing capacity under our $100.0 million Credit Agreement, as defined below, at June 30, 2025. Borrowings are subject to certain availability limits including our consolidated leverage ratio, which generally limits borrowings to 2.5 times annual Adjusted EBITDA levels, as defined in the Credit Agreement. We believe that our existing cash, cash generated from our continuing operations and available borrowings under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy our currently anticipated cash requirements through at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future thereafter. However, it is possible that one or more lenders under the Credit Agreement may refuse or be unable to satisfy their commitment to lend to us, we may violate one or more of our covenants or financial ratios contained in our Credit Agreement or we may need to refinance our debt and be unable to do so. In addition, our liquidity could be negatively affected by a decrease in demand for our products and services and the ability of our customers to pay for current or future services. We may also make acquisitions and may need to raise additional capital through future debt financings or equity offerings to the extent necessary to fund such acquisitions, which we may not be able to do on a timely basis or on terms satisfactory to us or at all.
Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities primarily consist of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, stock-based compensation, income from equity method investments, gain or impairments on investments, impairments of goodwill, and the effect of changes in working capital. Net cash flows from operating activities were $9.1 million and $11.2 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cash inflow from operations is driven by earnings and is dependent on the amount and timing of payments to vendors and employees and billings to and cash collections from our customers. Cash provided by operating activities during the 2025 period decreased $2.1 million compared to the same period of 2024 due to lower billings to and cash receipts from our customers, partially offset by lower headcount driving lower payments to employees.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 was $4.2 million compared to $7.9 million used in the same period of 2024. Cash used in investing activities in the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 is primarily comprised of $3.9 million of capitalized development costs. Cash used in investing activities in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 is primarily comprised of $6.6 million of capitalized development costs and $1.0 million of costs associated with the Company's office space.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 was $5.8 million and was driven by $3.8 million related to share repurchases and $2.0 million of net payments on long-term debt. Cash used in financing activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 was $4.5 million and was driven by $3.0 million of net payments on long-term debt and $1.5 million related to share repurchases.
Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Financing and Capital Requirements
Credit Agreement
In June 2022, the Company, together with Dice Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dice Career Solutions, Inc.,entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which matures in June 2027. Under the Credit Agreement, we have a $100 million revolving credit facility, with an expansion option of $50 million, bringing the total facility to $150 million, with $30.0 million of borrowings on the facility at June 30, 2025. The Company has $41.0 million available for future borrowings, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, which generally limits borrowings to 2.5 times annual Adjusted EBITDA levels. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest, payable at least quarterly, at the Company’s option, at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or a base rate, plus a margin. Borrowings under the credit agreement denominated in pounds sterling, if any, bear interest at the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% on SOFR and SONIA loans and 1.00% to 1.75% on base rate loans, determined by the Company's most recent consolidated leverage ratio, plus an additional spread of 0.10%. The Company incurs a commitment fee ranging from 0.35% to 0.50% on any unused capacity under the revolving loan facility, determined by the Company's most recent consolidated leverage ratio. Assuming an interest rate of 6.43% (the rate in effect on June 30, 2025) on our current borrowings, interest payments are expected to be $1.0 million from July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, $1.9 million in 2026, and $1.0 million in 2027. The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants and also contains certain financial covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 10 in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and Item 3. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk - Interest Rate Risk."
Contractual Obligations
The Company has operating leases for corporate office space and certain equipment. The leases have terms from one year to ten years, some of which include options to renew the lease, and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. No leases include options to purchase the leased property. As of June 30, 2025, the value of our lease right-of-use asset was $6.0 million and the value of our lease liability was $9.9 million. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further information.
We make commitments to purchase advertising from online vendors, which we pay for on a monthly basis. We have no significant long-term obligations to purchase a fixed or minimum amount with these vendors.
Other Capital Requirements
As of June 30, 2025, we recorded approximately $0.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits as liabilities, and we are uncertain if or when such amounts may be settled. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits considered permanent differences, we have also recorded a liability for potential penalties and interest. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2025, are $0.7 million of tax benefits that would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that as much as $0.2 million of its unrecognized tax benefits may be recognized in the next 12 months.
The Board approved a stock repurchase program that permits the Company to repurchase its common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the company repurchased 0.9 million shares for $1.8 million. As of June 30, 2025, the value of shares available to be purchased under the current plan was $2.5 million. Management has discretion in determining the conditions under which shares may be purchased from time to time. See Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further information.
We anticipate capital expenditures for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 to be approximately $7 million to $8 million. We intend to use operating cash flows to fund capital expenditures.
Cyclicality
The labor market and certain of the industries that we serve have historically experienced short-term cyclicality. However, we believe that online career websites and marketplaces continue to provide economic and strategic value to the labor market and industries that we serve.
Any slowdown in recruitment activity that occurs could negatively impact our revenues and results of operations. A decrease in the unemployment rate or a labor shortage, including as a result of an increase in job turnover, generally means that employers (including our customers) are seeking to hire more individuals, which would generally lead to more job postings and database licenses and have a positive impact on our revenues and results of operations. Based on historical trends, improvements in labor markets and the need for our services generally lag behind overall economic improvements. Additionally, there has historically been a lag from the time customers begin to increase purchases of our recruitment services and the impact to our revenues due to the recognition of revenue occurring over the length of the contract, which can be several months to over a year.
From time to time, we see market slowdowns, which can lead to lower demand for recruiting technologists and security cleared professionals. If recruitment activity slows in the industries in which we operate, our revenues and results of operations could be negatively impacted.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We have exposure to financial market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant market prices.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Our operations are conducted within the United States. As a result, our current operations are not subject to foreign exchange risk.
The Company's investment in eFC, as described in note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, which is recorded under the equity method of accounting, subjects the Company to foreign exchange risk because the functional currency of eFC is the British Pound Sterling. Accordingly, the Company must translate its share of eFC's net income into United States dollars. The foreign currency translation related to the Company's share of eFC's net income is not expected to be significant.
Interest Rate Risk
We have interest rate risk primarily related to borrowings under our Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest, payable at least quarterly, at the Company’s option, at the SOFR or a base rate, plus a margin. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in pounds sterling, if any, bear interest at the SONIA rate plus a margin. The margin ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% on SOFR and SONIA loans and 1.00% to 1.75% on base rate loans, as determined by our most recent consolidated leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2025, we had outstanding borrowings of $30.0 million under our Credit Agreement. A hypothetical increase of 1.0% on these variable rate borrowings would increase our annual interest expense over the next 12 months by approximately $0.3 million, based on the balances outstanding for these borrowings as of June 30, 2025.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the fiscal period covered by this report.
These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Exchange Act and in the rules and forms of the SEC. These disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to management,
including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on such evaluations, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls
No change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time we may be involved in disputes or litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations. Except as noted in Note 11 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, we are currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We have disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K the risk factors which materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. As of August 6, 2025, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and the other information set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Stock Repurchase Plans - Our Board approved a stock repurchase program that permits the Company to repurchase our common stock. Management has discretion in determining the conditions under which shares may be purchased from time to time. The number, price, structure, and timing of the repurchases, if any, will be at our sole discretion and future repurchases will be evaluated by us depending on market conditions, liquidity needs, restrictions under the agreements governing our indebtedness, and other factors. Share repurchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase authorization does not oblige us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock. The Board may suspend, modify, or terminate the repurchase program at any time without prior notice.
The following table summarizes the stock repurchase plans approved by the board of directors over the past two years:
