Business Update
Current report
Our company has made significant strides over the past several years by executing on our five-point operating plan. We have extended our position as the world's leading provider of software to power social impact through product innovation to better serve the very specific needs of non-profit customers, successfully implemented key revenue initiatives to enhance the predictability of our growth, all while maintaining keen attention to cost management and cash flow. As a result of this work, we have accelerated our revenue growth, significantly improved our profitability, driven sustained EPS growth and generated significant cash flow, which we have used, in part, to fuel a material stock repurchase program, that was recently expanded and replenished to $800 million.
Current report
The company is approaching another inflection point. In addition to improving our operations and go-to market capabilities, we have successfully addressed and nearly closed the book on many of the challenges the company faced over the past few years, allowing us to now focus primarily on the significant growth and value creation opportunities ahead in the near, mid and long term.
Current report
We believe Blackbaud is a compelling investment with multiple opportunities for strong stockholder returns.
Current report
As an industry leader with what we believe is the most comprehensive set of purpose-built and mission critical software and services, we have an inherent ability to penetrate even further into a rich market opportunity;
Current report
The strength of our financial model allows us to continue to aggressively invest in innovation, which provides great value for our customers and enhances our ability to attract new customers; and
Current report
We generate strong cash flows and are committed to disciplined, value-maximizing capital returns. We believe that at current valuations, Blackbaud is undervalued, and we plan to be aggressive in the repurchase of our stock to improve stockholder value.

Market Opportunity
Current report
•U.S. charitable giving in 2023 was over $500 billion, of which roughly $100 billion was donated, granted and invested through our Blackbaud platforms globally.
Current report
•In our Social Sector, we continue to primarily focus on mid-sized and enterprise non-profits and, as market leader, we continue to see great opportunities to attract new customers as well expand our offerings to our existing customers. We appreciate that our customers have choices, too. For decades, we have enjoyed being the market leader, with
Current report
strong brand recognition and significant breadth and depth of our product capabilities, but we are not relying on the success of our past.
Current report
Investments in Innovation
Current report
•We continue to invest aggressively in innovation and partner with our developer network through API’s to produce continuous product enhancements throughout our portfolio, including generative AI capabilities, which in turn enable our customers to raise more money while increasing operational efficiency—ultimately allowing them to spend more time executing on their charitable missions and less time on administrative tasks.
Current report
•We are a natural choice for new and existing customers alike. The alternative for our customers is a disjointed, competitive landscape where we believe other companies do not offer the combined breadth and depth of our capabilities. These include smaller, mostly disparate point solutions that address only single aspects of the complex, comprehensive technology needs of a nonprofit, or larger horizontal software companies that may lack the depth of nonprofit-specific functionality and often require complex, expensive customization and potentially additional vendors to meet customer needs.
Current report
Cash Flow Generation
Current report
During the first six months of 2024, we generated $118.4 million of operating cash flow, an increase of more than 50% compared to the first half of 2023. Our robust cash flow generation gives us confidence to continue investment in a number of critical areas like product innovation and stock repurchases. In March 2024, we announced that we intend to repurchase between 7% and 10% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2023 under our stock repurchase program. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 2,954,211 shares for $262.6 million, representing approximately 5.5% of the Company's common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2023. In addition to our previously announced ASR Transaction, we plan to be aggressive in repurchasing our stock at the current valuations. As previously disclosed, our board of directors reauthorized, expanded and replenished our existing stock repurchase program, raising the total capacity from $500 million to $800 million available for repurchases of our common stock. We believe there is currently no better use of our capital than investing back into the business through product innovation and returning capital to stockholders around these valuation levels.
Current report
Our Corporate Sector revenue (which represents approximately 12% of our total year-to-date revenue) decreased $3.5 million, or 9.2%, and $5.6 million, or 7.4%, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, when compared to the same periods in 2023, driven primarily by the performance of EVERFI and our disposition of EVERFI Limited in March 2024 (see Note 3 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for more information). EVERFI has unique and valuable assets, including a comprehensive catalog of content, great customer relationships and a deep talent pool. However, EVERFI has faced a number of external challenges and while we have taken decisive actions, including changes to Corporate Sector leadership and the disposition of a non-recurring revenue component (EVERFI Limited discussed above), EVERFI continues to be a drag on our overall performance, and we expect that to continue. Accordingly, we are actively considering a range of strategic alternatives for EVERFI, one of which includes a potential divestiture of the business. This work is in early stages, and EVERFI remains well positioned to support its customers. We will continue to provide updates as progress is made on this initiative.
Current report
As a remote-first workforce company, we also continuously evaluate opportunities to shift various business units or functions to lower-cost jurisdictions, including internationally, and may do so if and when we determine that it would reduce costs without negatively impacting the quality of our products and services.

Product Innovation and Delivery
Previous report
To maintain our market leadership position, we are accelerating the pace of innovation and new feature delivery to our customers. Our focus has been on two areas, generative artificial intelligence (AI) and enhancements that continue to improve the connectivity of our suite of solutions. These enhancements are aimed at improving fundraising outcomes while reducing the administrative burden of our end users. Some examples include:
Previous report
•We have released a number of AI capabilities over the past few quarters, including new generative AI functionality for our JustGiving platform. During the first quarter of 2024, we released generative AI capabilities for Raiser’s Edge NXT®, and we expect that Blackbaud Co-pilot will be available to our Raiser's Edge NXT customers soon. Using Blackbaud Co-pilot, users can ask ad hoc questions such as “How can I improve my average donation size?” and the tool will provide intelligent responses as well as recommended actions intended to drive that outcome.
Previous report
•During the first quarter of 2024, our Online Giving and Prospect Insights capabilities were natively integrated into Raiser's Edge NXT. With these integrations, fundraising administrators can now drive a viral giving campaign, keep records of each donor interaction, identify new donation opportunities, and provide personalized messaging, all in one integrated experience.
Previous report
•Last quarter, we announced our new optimized donation forms were coming to Raiser's Edge NXT. We now have a few hundred customers up and running with nearly a thousand more experimenting. We expect these forms to drive higher revenue for our customers and for Blackbaud.
Previous report
We include these exciting new features in our products at no additional cost, to increase the value our customers receive from their existing subscription. We are delivering more innovation, evolving our products and ensuring our customers receive more value from our solutions.

Modernized Approach to Pricing and Multi-Year Contracts
Previous report
In the summer of 2022, we put in place an updated renewal pricing policy primarily for our social sector customers that directly reflects the value we provide to them, is in-line with the broader market and reflects the inflationary pressures that all businesses are facing. This program is designed to deliver sustained revenue growth beyond the initial three-year renewal cycle and will provide us with improved revenue visibility. As previously disclosed, this new approach has three main components:
Previous report
offering 3-year contract renewal terms as our standard, which the vast majority of customers are adopting;
Previous report
embedded annual price increases within the 3-year renewal term, which we have not had previously and are beginning to take effect; and
Previous report
a larger first year price increase to bring our pricing in-line with the broader market.
Previous report
The first two components, as well as a portion of the third, will continue on beyond the initial renewal cycle, creating what we believe will be a sustainable source of revenue growth. Approximately one half of our 2024 total company revenue growth is expected to be impacted by this modernized contract and pricing initiative, and by the end of 2024, we anticipate we will renew approximately two-thirds of that base into the new model. During the first and second quarters of 2024, we expect a larger contribution to our total revenue growth to come from this initiative.
Previous report
Our Corporate Sector revenue (which represents approximately 12% of our total revenue) decreased $2.1 million, or 5.6%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, when compared to the same period in 2023, driven primarily by EVERFI. EVERFI has faced macroeconomic challenges in the form of tightening corporate CSR budgets, especially in the financial services market where EVERFI has a significant position. While we expect our Corporate Sector revenue to decline for the full year 2024, we are working on plans to ensure it contributes to shareholder value.

Termination of stockholder rights agreement
Previous report
On March 18, 2024, the Company and Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company, entered into the Third Amendment to Stockholder Rights Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2024 (as amended, the “Rights Agreement”). The third amendment terminated the Rights Agreement by accelerating the expiration time of the Company’s preferred share purchase rights (each, a “Right” and, collectively, the “Rights”) to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on March 18, 2024. At the time of the termination of the Rights Agreement, all of the Rights, which were previously distributed to holders of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.001, pursuant to the Rights Agreement, expired.

As previously disclosed and discussed above, we have a number of multi-year pricing initiatives underway, some to bring our pricing in line with the market while others are model changes that are expected to drive greater revenue for both us and our customers.

Our recurring subscription contracts are typically for a term of three years at contract inception. A key factor to our overall success is the renewal and expansion of our existing subscription agreements with our customers. Management uses gross dollar retention in analyzing our success at delighting our customers with innovative and cloud solutions. Gross dollar retention is defined as contracted annual recurring revenue ("CARR") divided by beginning CARR with a measurement period of twelve months. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2024, our gross dollar retention was approximately 89%. This gross dollar retention rate was slightly lower than our rate for the full year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to EVERFI. Excluding EVERFI, our gross dollar retention during the twelve months ended March 31, 2024 was slightly higher than our rate for the full year ended December 31, 2023. We are continually investing in innovation, which we believe will increase gross dollar retention over the long-term.

As discussed in Note 9 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements in this report, total costs related to the Security Incident exceeded the limit of our insurance coverage in the first quarter of 2022. Accordingly, the Security Incident has negatively impacted, and we expect it to continue for the foreseeable future to negatively impact, our GAAP profitab ility and GAAP cash flow (see discussion regarding non-GAAP free cash flow and non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow on page 37). For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred net pre-tax expenses of $10.3 million related to the Security Incident, which included $3.3 million for ongoing legal fees and additional accruals for loss contingencies of $7.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had cash outlays of $2.0 million related to the Security Incident for ongoing legal fees. In line with our policy, legal fees are expensed as incurred. For full year 2024, we currently expect pre-tax expenses of approximately $5.0 million to $10.0 million and cash outlays of approximately $8.0 million to $13.0 million for ongoing legal fees related to the Security Incident. Not included in these ranges are our previous settlements or current accruals for loss contingencies related to the matters discussed below.

As of March 31, 2024, we have recorded approximately $8.5 million in aggregate liabilities for loss contingencies based primarily on recent negotiations with certain customers and governmental agencies related to the Security Incident that we believed we could reasonably estimate in accordance with our loss contingency procedures described above and as more fully described in Note 9. It is reasonably possible that our estimated actual losses may change in the near term for those matters and be materially in excess of the amounts accrued, but we are unable at this time to reasonably estimate the possible additional loss.

Previous wording
Interest expense in dollars and as a percentage of total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2024, was relatively in line with the same period in 2023. We currently expect interest expense for the full year 2024 to be approximately $48 million to $52 million as we had incremental borrowings to fund our ASR Transaction (as defined on page 40). We also expect interest rates to remain higher throughout 2024 than we originally anticipated. Our interest expense in connection with the variable rate portion of our outstanding debt could increase in a rising interest rate environment. See Note 8 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for more information regarding our derivative instruments, which we use to manage our variable interest rate risk, and Item 3.

Current wording
The increases in interest expense in dollars and as a percentage of total revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, when compared to the same periods in 2023, were primarily due to our incremental borrowings to fund our ASR Transaction. We currently expect interest expense for the full year 2024 to be approximately $52 million to $56 million. Our interest expense in connection with the variable rate portion of our outstanding debt could increase in a rising interest rate environment.

Other income increased in dollars and as a percentage of total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to an increase in interest income. Interest income increased primarily due to higher interest earned on restricted cash held and payable by us to customers for our payment processing solutions. See Note 6 to our unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for more information regarding our other income.

The decrease in deferred revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due toa seasonal decrease in customer contract renewals. Historically, due to the timing of customer budget cycles, we have an increase in customer contract renewals at or near the beginning of our third quarter. Generally, our lowest balance of deferred revenue during the year is at the end of our first quarter.

The change in our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily attributable to favorable impacts of benefits attributable to stock-based compensation and research and development tax credits.
Current wording
The change in our effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, when compared to the same periods in 2023 were largely driven by prior year pre-tax losses versus current year pre-tax income. Additionally, the 2024 periods were favorably impacted by benefits attributable to stock-based compensation and research and development tax credits whereas stock-based compensation negatively impacted our effective income tax rates for the 2023 periods. Lastly, the 2023 periods were negatively impacted by non-deductible accruals related to security incident, which have impacted the 2024 periods to a much lesser degree.

(2)Includes Security Incident-related costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $10.3 million which includes approximately $7.0 million in recorded liabilities for loss contingencies and during the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $17.8 million which included approximately $10.2 million in recorded liabilities for loss contingencies. Recorded expenses consisted primarily of payments to third-party service providers and consultants, including legal fees, as well as settlements of customer claims, negotiated settlements and accruals for certain loss contingencies. Not included in this adjustment were costs associated with enhancements to our cybersecurity program. For full year 2024, we currently expect pre-tax expenses of approximately $5 million to $10 million and cash outlays of approximately $8 million to $13 million for ongoing legal fees related to the Security Incident. Not included in these ranges are our previous settlements or current accruals for loss contingencies related to the matters discussed below. In line with our policy, legal fees are expensed as incurred. As of March 31, 2024, we have recorded approximately $8.5 million in aggregate liabilities for loss contingencies based primarily on recent negotiations with certain customers and governmental agencies related to the Security Incident that we believe we can reasonably estimate. It is reasonably possible that our estimated or actual losses may change in the near term for those matters and be materially in excess of the amounts accrued, but we are unable at this time to reasonably estimate the possible additional loss. There are other Security Incident-related matters, including customer claims, customer constituent class actions and governmental investigations, for which we have not recorded a liability for a loss contingency as of March 31, 2024 because we are unable at this time to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss. Each of these matters could, separately or in the aggregate, result in an adverse judgment, settlement, fine, penalty or other resolution, the amount, scope and timing of which we are currently unable to predict, but could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

These patterns may change as a result of the continued shift to online giving, growth in volume of transactions for which we process payments, large dollar customer bookings and contract renewals, fluctuations in the timing of vendor payments, or as a result of acquisitions, new market opportunities, new solution introductions or other factors. For example, we currently do not expect that our operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2024 will be higher than that of our first quarter primarily due to fluctuations in the timing of vendor and tax payments.

Our principal sources of liquidity are our operating cash flow, funds available under the 2024 Credit Facility and cash on hand. Our operating cash flow depends on continued customer renewal of our subscription and maintenance arrangements, market acceptance of our solutions and services, the volume and size of transactions for which we process payments and our customers' ability to pay. Based on current estimates of revenue and expenses, we believe that the currently available sources of funds and anticipated cash flows from operations will be adequate for at least the next twelve months to finance our operations, fund anticipated capital expenditures and meet our debt obligations. We also believe that we will be able to continue to meet our long-term cash requirements due to our anticipated cash flow from operations, solid financial position and ability to access capital from financial markets. To the extent we undertake future material acquisitions or investments or unanticipated capital or operating expenditures, including in connection with the Security Incident, we may require additional capital. In that context, we regularly evaluate opportunities to enhance our capital structure, including through potential debt or equity issuances.
