version of those words and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements.
Although we attempt to be accurate in making these forward-looking statements, future circumstances might differ from the
assumptions on which such statements are based. In addition, other important factors that could cause results to differ
materially include those set forth under “Item 1A. Risk factors” and elsewhere in this report and in our other SEC filings. We
undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,

PART I
Item 1. Business
We are the leading global provider of software and related services designed specifically for nonprofit organizations. Our stated
company purpose is to power the business of philanthropy from fundraising to outcomes. We strive to help our customers
accomplish their missions and are guided by the following corporate values:
Overview
• Our people make us great.
• Customers are at the heart of everything we do.
• We must be good stewards of our resources.
•
Innovation drives success.
• Our actions are guided by honesty and integrity.
•
Service to others makes the world a better place.
Our customers use our products and services to help increase donations, reduce fundraising costs, improve communications
with constituents, manage their finances and optimize operations. We have focused solely on the nonprofit market since our
incorporation in 1982. At the end of 2013, we had more than 29,000 customers spread over 69 countries. Our customers come
from nearly every segment of the nonprofit sector, including education, foundations, health and human services, faith-based,
arts and cultural, public and societal benefits, environment and animal welfare, as well as international and foreign affairs.
The nonprofit industry is large and diverse
Nonprofit Industry
There were more than 1.6 million U.S. nonprofit organizations registered with the Internal Revenue Service in 2012, including
nearly 1.1 million charitable 501(c)(3) organizations - double the number of charities in 1992. We estimate there are
approximately another 3 million charities internationally. According to Giving USA 2013, donations to U.S. nonprofit
organizations in 2012 were $316.2 billion, amounting to 2.0% of U.S. GDP, a 3.5% increase from 2011 donations of $305.5
billion. The compound annual growth rate of donations over the 10-year period from 2002 to 2012 was 3.1%, not adjusted for
inflation. These nonprofit organizations also receive fees for services they provide, which are estimated at more than $1.0
trillion annually.
Traditional methods of fundraising are often costly and inefficient
Many nonprofits use manual methods or stand-alone software applications not designed to manage fundraising. Such methods
are often costly and inefficient because of the difficulties in effectively collecting, sharing, and using donation-related
information. Furthermore, general purpose and Internet-related software applications frequently have limited functionality and
do not efficiently integrate multiple databases. Based on our market research, nearly a quarter of every dollar donated is used
for fundraising expenses alone. Some nonprofit organizations have developed proprietary software, but doing so is expensive,
requiring on-site technical personnel for development, implementation and maintenance.
1
The nonprofit industry faces particular operational challenges
Nonprofit organizations must efficiently:
•
Solicit funds and build relationships with major donors;
• Garner small cash contributions from numerous contributors;
• Manage and develop complex relationships with large numbers of constituents;
• Communicate their accomplishments and the importance of their mission online and offline;
• Comply with complex accounting, tax and reporting requirements that differ from those for traditional businesses;
•
•
•
Solicit cash and in-kind contributions from businesses to help raise money or deliver products and services;
Provide a wide array of programs and services to individual constituents; and
Improve the data collection and information sharing capabilities of their employees, volunteers and donors by creating
and providing distributed access to centralized databases.
Because of these challenges, we believe nonprofit organizations can benefit from software applications specifically designed to
serve their particular needs.
Blackbaud Solutions
We offer a broad suite of products and services that address the fundraising needs and operational challenges facing nonprofit
organizations. We provide our customers with cloud-based and on-premise software and related services that help them
increase donations, reduce the overall costs of managing their businesses and build a strong sense of community while
effectively managing communications with their constituents. We also offer a suite of analytical tools and related services that
enable nonprofit organizations to extract, aggregate and analyze vast quantities of data to make better-informed operational
decisions. In addition, we help our customers increase the returns on their technology investments by providing a broad range
of consulting, training and professional services, maintenance and technical support as well as payment processing services.
Our Strategy
Our objective is to maintain and extend our position as the leading provider of software and related services designed
specifically for nonprofit organizations, supporting their missions from fundraising to outcomes. Our key strategies for
achieving this objective are to:
Achieve worldwide constituent relationship management (“CRM”) leadership for our CRM products
We offer a range of CRM products which we believe meet the needs of nonprofits of all sizes and across verticals within the
nonprofit market. We intend to leverage our CRM portfolio to achieve worldwide leadership in nonprofit CRM by extending
the penetration of our CRM product lines to larger, more complex nonprofit organizations, and expanding the reach of our
CRM products designed for mid-sized and smaller nonprofits.
Grow our worldwide customer base
We intend to expand our industry-leading customer base and enhance our market position. We have established a strong market
presence with more than 29,000 customers. We believe that the fragmented nature of the industry presents an opportunity for us
to continue to increase our market penetration. We plan to achieve this by making use of our next generation solutions to
continue transforming our business to cloud-based applications, which we expect will allow us to serve the entire mid-market
customer segment. We also plan to streamline our sales efforts to the small market customer segment. Additionally, we intend
to expand our direct sales efforts, especially with regard to national, enterprise and global account-focused sales teams.
We believe the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and the Netherlands, as well as other international markets, represent
growing market opportunities for our products and services. We believe the overall market of international nonprofit
organizations is changing. Donations to international nonprofit organizations are becoming increasingly important in response
to reductions in governmental funding. U.S.-based nonprofit organizations are growing their international activities and
opening overseas locations. We believe the international marketplace is currently underserved, and we intend to increase our
presence by expanding our sales and marketing efforts internationally. We plan to sell complementary products and services to
our installed base of customers, and we plan to offer new products tailored to international markets, including leveraging our
market leading domestic analytics solutions to develop offerings tailored specifically to meet the needs of foreign and multi-
national nonprofits.
2
Revolutionize the customer experience
We intend to make our customers' experience with us effective, efficient and satisfying from their initial interest in our products
and services, through their decision to purchase, engage with customer support and utilize product enhancements. We continue
to evolve the manner in which we package and sell our offerings to provide higher value combined with flexibility to meet the
different needs of our existing and prospective customers. For example, we are increasing the number of our offerings sold
under a subscription pricing model, which can make it easier for customers to purchase our solutions. We will continue to focus
on providing the highest level of product support while continuing to enhance our existing products and developing new
products and services designed to help allow our customers to more effectively achieve their missions.
Strategically pursue partnerships and acquisitions
We intend to continue to selectively pursue acquisitions, to expand existing partnerships and to develop new strategic
partnerships to enter new markets and pursue significant untapped opportunities. We intend to develop these alliances with
companies that provide us with complementary technology, customers and personnel with significant relevant experience, as
well as to increase our access to additional geographic and vertical markets. We have completed significant acquisitions over
the past five years both in the United States and internationally, including the acquisition of Convio, Inc. (Convio) in May
2012. The acquisition of Convio provided us with expanded subscription and online offerings and has accelerated our evolution
to a subscription-based revenue model.
We are also currently involved in a number of strategic relationships which allow us to provide a wider variety of offerings and
provide customers with integrated solutions, further enhancing the value of our proprietary technology. We believe that our size
and history of leadership in the nonprofit sector make us an attractive acquirer or partner for others in the industry.
Our Operating Structure
The nonprofit market is very diverse, with organizations that range from small, local charities to large, multinational relief
organizations. The needs of nonprofits can vary greatly according to their size and function. To better serve the wide variety of
nonprofits in the market, we organize our operating structure into four operating units: the Enterprise Customer Business Unit,
or ECBU, the General Markets Business Unit, or GMBU, the International Business Unit, or IBU, and Target Analytics.
Following is a description of each of our operating units, each of which is a reportable segment for financial accounting
purposes:
• The ECBU is focused on marketing, sales, delivery and support to large and/or strategic customers, specifically
identified prospects and customers in North America.
• The GMBU is focused on marketing, sales, delivery and support to all emerging and mid-sized prospects and
customers in North America.
• The IBU is focused on marketing, sales, delivery and support to all prospects and customers outside of North America.
• Target Analytics is primarily focused on marketing, sales and delivery of analytic services to all prospects and
customers in North America.
Each operating unit contains specialized sales, services, support, marketing, and finance functions. We believe this structure
allows us to be more responsive to the needs of fundamentally different customer segments and to focus on developing
solutions appropriate for these unique markets while leveraging the infrastructure of our broader organization and shared
technology in a cost-effective manner. It also allows us to develop highly customized approaches to marketing and selling our
products in the markets we serve.
Products and Services
We provide cloud-based and on-premise software solutions and related services to our customers. During 2013, we generated
revenue in four reportable segments (the ECBU, the GMBU, the IBU and Target Analytics) and in four geographic regions
(United States, Canada, Europe and Asia Pacific), as described in more detail in Note 16 of our consolidated financial
statements.
Our broad suite of software, services and analytical tools help nonprofit organizations manage the key aspects of their
operations. By automating business processes, our products streamline operations for our customers and help to reduce the
3
overall costs of operating their organizations. We provide solutions that address many of the technological and business process
needs of our customers, including:
• Constituent relationship management;
•
Financial management and reporting;
• Cost accounting information for projects and grants;
•
Integration of financial data and donor information in a centralized system;
• Online fundraising;
•
Peer-to-peer fundraising;
• Event, data and information management;
•
Student information systems for independent schools and small colleges;
• Ticketing management;
• General admissions management;
• Analytics and prospect research;
• Consulting and educational services; and
•
Payment processing and related regulation compliance.
Software products
We provide our wide variety of solutions to nonprofit organizations in several ways. We offer our products as software-as-a-
service (“SaaS”), on a perpetual license basis, or as “hosted” software offerings, which can be used individually to help
organizations with specific functions, such as fundraising, constituent relationship management, financial management, website
management and prospect research, or combined into a fully-integrated suite of tools to help them manage multiple areas of
their operations.

across an entire organization, regardless of how individual constituents interact and communicate with the organization.

29,000 active customers ranging from small, local charities, to healthcare and higher education organizations, to the largest
national health and human services organizations. Our largest single customer accounted for approximately 1% of our 2013
consolidated revenue.
Customers
Sales and Marketing
The majority of our software and related services are sold through our direct sales force. Our direct sales force is complemented
by a team of account development representatives responsible for sales lead generation and qualification. These sales and
marketing professionals are located throughout the United States, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia and
New Zealand. As of December 31, 2013, we had 271 direct sales employees. We plan to continue expanding our direct sales
force in the Americas, Europe, Australia and Asia as our operations grow internationally and market demand continues to
recover from the current economic environment.
We generally begin a customer relationship with the sale of one of our primary products or services, such as The Raiser's Edge,
Blackbaud CRM or Luminate, and then offer additional products and services to the customer as the organization's needs
increase.
We conduct marketing programs to create brand recognition and market awareness for our products and services. Our
marketing efforts include participation at tradeshows, technical conferences and technology seminars, publication of technical
and educational articles in industry journals and preparation of competitive analyses. Our customers and strategic partners
provide references and recommendations that we often feature in our advertising and promotional activities.
We believe relationships with third parties can enhance our sales and marketing efforts. We have and will continue to establish
additional relationships with companies that provide services to the nonprofit industry, such as consultants, educators,
publishers, financial service providers, complementary technology providers and data providers. These companies promote or
complement our nonprofit solutions and provide us access to new customers.
Corporate Philanthropy and Volunteerism
We believe that service to others makes the world a better place and champion this value through our global corporate
philanthropy and employee-volunteer programs. In addition to having employees select grant recipients for our endowment
fund, we celebrate individual acts of service through a competitive grant program that honors excellent examples of
volunteerism and benefits the organizations they serve.
Competition
The market for software and related services in the nonprofit sector is highly competitive and fragmented. For certain areas of
the market, entry barriers are low. However, we believe our experience and product depth makes us a strong competitor. We
expect to continue to see new competitors as the market matures and as nonprofit organizations become more aware of the
advantages and efficiencies attainable through the use of specialized software. A number of diversified software enterprises
have made acquisitions or developed products for the market, including Ellucian, Abila (formerly Sage Nonprofit Solutions),
FrontStream Payments, Bloomerang and Campus Management. Other companies that compete with us, such as Microsoft,
Salesforce.com and Oracle, have greater marketing resources, revenue and market recognition than we do. They offer some
products that are designed specifically for nonprofits, in addition to some of their products which have a degree of functionality
for nonprofits that could be considered competitive. These larger companies could decide to focus more on the nonprofit sector
with new, directly competitive products or through acquisitions of our current competitors.

We mainly face competition from four sources:
•
•
Software developers offering specialized products designed to address specific needs of nonprofit organizations, some
of which are sold with subscription pricing;
Providers of traditional, less automated fundraising services, such as services that support traditional direct mail
campaigns, special events fundraising, telemarketing and personal solicitations;
• Custom-developed products created either internally or outsourced to custom service providers; and
•
Software developers offering general products not designed to address specific needs of nonprofit organizations.
We compete with several software developers that provide specialized products, such as on-demand software specifically
designed for nonprofit use. In addition, we compete with custom-developed solutions created either internally by nonprofit
organizations or outside by custom service providers. We believe that we compete successfully, because building efficient,
highly functional custom solutions equal to ours requires technical resources that are beyond the capabilities of custom solution
providers or require resources that might not be available within nonprofit organizations. In addition, the nonprofit
organization's legacy database and software system may not have been designed to support the increasingly complex and
advanced needs of today's growing community of nonprofit organizations.
We also compete with providers of traditional, less automated fundraising services, including parties providing services in
support of traditional direct mail campaigns, special events fundraising, peer to peer, telemarketing and personal solicitations.
Although there are numerous general software developers marketing products that have some application in the nonprofit
market, these competitors have generally neglected to focus specifically on this market and typically lack the domain expertise
to cost effectively build or implement integrated solutions for the market's needs. We believe we compete successfully against
these traditional fundraising services, primarily because our products and services are more automated, more robust, more
tailored to the needs of nonprofits and more efficient.
Research and Development
We have made substantial investments in research and development and expect to continue to do so as a part of our strategy to
introduce additional products and services. As of December 31, 2013, we had 464 employees working on research and
development. Our research and development expenses for 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $65.6 million, $64.7 million and $47.7
million, respectively.
Technology and Architecture
We have products, such as Blackbaud CRM, that are built on the Microsoft.Net framework platform. These products are web-
delivered applications utilizing a Service Oriented Architecture built on Internet standards and protocols such as HTTP, XML
and SOAP. This architecture is designed to support flexible deployment scenarios including on-premise, hosted applications,
and SaaS. The applications expose web service application programming interfaces so that functionality and business logic can
be accessed programmatically from outside the context of an interactive user application.
Each of our Luminate products, including Luminate Online, Luminate CRM and TeamRaiser, are SaaS applications that are
open and extensible and employ a multi-tenant architecture requiring only a web browser for client access. Luminate Online
and TeamRaiser share a common codebase and database, and are built on the Java runtime environment. Luminate CRM is
built on the SalesForce.com platform.
Our version 7.x generation products (e.g. The Raiser's Edge and Blackbaud CRM) utilize a three-tier client server architecture
built on the Microsoft Component Object Model, or COM.
Regardless of product choice, the development strategies of our solutions are designed to be:
• Flexible. Our component-based architecture is programmable and easily customized by our customers without
requiring modification of the source code, ensuring that the technology can be extended to accommodate changing
demands of our clients and the market.
• Adaptable. The architecture of our applications allows us to easily add features and functionality or to integrate with
third-party applications in order to adapt to our customers' needs or market demands.
•
Scalable. We combine a scalable architecture with the performance, capacity and load balancing of industry-standard
web servers and databases used by our customers to ensure that the applications can scale to the needs of larger
organizations.
We do and intend to continue to license technologies from third parties that are integrated into our products.

Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Rights
To protect our intellectual property, we rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws in various
jurisdictions, as well as employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and confidentiality procedures. We have a number
of registered trademarks, including “Blackbaud,” “The Raiser's Edge,” “Blackbaud CRM” and “Luminate.” We have applied
for additional trademarks. We currently have two active patents on our technology, and have a total of three pending patent
applications.
As of December 31, 2013, we had 2,666 employees, none of which are represented by unions or are covered by collective
bargaining agreements. We are not involved in any material disputes with any of our employees, and we believe that relations
with our employees are satisfactory.

Item 1A. Risk factors
Our business operations face a number of risks. These risks should be read and considered with other information provided in
this report.
General economic factors, both domestically and internationally, might adversely affect our financial performance.
General economic conditions, globally or in one or more of the markets we serve, might adversely affect our financial
performance. Weakness in the financial and housing markets, inflation, higher levels of unemployment, unavailability of
consumer credit, higher consumer debt levels, volatility in credit, equity and foreign exchange markets, higher tax rates and
other changes in tax laws, overall economic slowdown and other economic factors could adversely affect donations to
nonprofits, reducing their revenue and, therefore, possibly their demand for the products and services we sell and lengthen our
sales and payment cycles. Higher interest rates, inflation, higher costs of labor, insurance and healthcare, higher tax rates and
other changes in tax laws, changes in other laws and regulations and other economic factors in the United States could increase
our cost of sales and operating, selling, general and administrative expenses and otherwise adversely affect our operations and
operating results. These factors affect not only our operations, but also the operations of suppliers from whom we purchase or
license products and services, a factor that could result in an increase in the cost to us of our products and services, reducing
our margins. These factors also affect our customers who may reduce their purchasing of our solutions due to adverse effects of
certain economic factors.
We significantly increased our leverage in connection with acquisitions
We incurred a substantial amount of indebtedness in connection with recent acquisitions. As a result of this indebtedness, our
interest payment obligations have increased. The degree to which we are leveraged could have adverse effects on our business,
including the following:
• Requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness,
thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends
and other general corporate purposes;
• Limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we operate;
• Restricting us from making additional strategic acquisitions or exploiting business opportunities;
•
Placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;
• Limiting our ability to borrow additional funds; and
• Decreasing our ability to compete effectively or operate successfully under adverse economic and industry conditions.
If we incur additional debt, these risks will intensify. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations will depend upon our
future performance, which will be subject to the financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which
are beyond our control.
Our failure to compete successfully could cause our revenue or market share to decline.
Our market is fragmented, highly competitive and rapidly evolving and there are limited barriers to entry for some aspects of
this market. We mainly face competition from four sources:
•
•
Software developers offering specialized products designed to address specific needs of nonprofit organizations, some
of which are sold with subscription pricing;
Providers of traditional, less automated fundraising services, such as services that support traditional direct mail or
email campaigns, special events fundraising, telemarketing and personal solicitations;
• Custom-developed products created either internally or outsourced to custom service providers; and
•
Software developers offering general products not designed to address specific needs of nonprofit organizations.
The companies we compete with and other potential competitors may have greater financial, technical and marketing resources
and generate greater revenue and better name recognition than we do. Companies such as Microsoft, Salesforce.com and
Oracle offer some products that are designed specifically for nonprofit organizations, in addition to some of their products
12
which have a degree of functionality for nonprofit organizations that could be considered competitive. Also, if one or more of
our competitors or potential competitors were to merge or partner with one of our other competitors, the change in the
competitive landscape could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. For example, a large diversified software
enterprise, such as Microsoft, Oracle or Salesforce.com, could decide to enter the market directly, including through
acquisitions. Competitive pressures can adversely impact our business by limiting the prices we can charge our customers and
making the adoption and renewal of our solutions more difficult.
Our competitors might also establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with resellers and third-party consulting firms or
other parties with whom we have had relationships, thereby limiting our ability to promote our products. These competitive
pressures could cause our revenue and market share to decline.
A substantial portion of our revenue is currently derived from The Raiser's Edge, Luminate Online, Blackbaud CRM and
The Financial Edge, and a decline in sales or renewals of these or similar products and related services could harm our
business.
We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from the sale of The Raiser's Edge, Luminate Online, Blackbaud CRM and The
Financial Edge, and other products that help customers manage constituent relationships and related services, and we expect
revenue from these products and related services to continue to account for a substantial portion of our total revenue for the
foreseeable future. For example, revenue from the sale of The Raiser's Edge and related services represented approximately
28%, 30% and 35% of our total revenue in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Because we often sell licenses to our products on
a perpetual basis and deliver new versions and enhancements to customers who purchase annual maintenance and support, our
future license, services and maintenance revenue are substantially dependent on sales to new customers. On the other hand, for
our subscription products, we sell our software on an annual or multiyear basis and for annualized fees substantially lower than
we would charge for a perpetual license for the same product, so that we depend on customer renewals for future revenues. If
renewal rates for the products are lower than expected for any reason, our operating results would be materially and adversely
affected. In addition, we frequently sell these or similar products to new customers and then attempt to generate incremental
revenue from the sale of additional products and services. If demand for The Raiser's Edge, Luminate Online, Blackbaud CRM,
The Financial Edge or similar products declines significantly, our business would suffer.
We encounter lengthy sales cycles which could have an adverse effect on the amount, timing and predictability of our
revenue and sales.
Potential customers, particularly our larger enterprise clients, generally commit significant resources to an evaluation of
available software and require us to expend substantial time, effort and money educating them as to the value of our software
and services. Sales of our software products to these larger customers often require an extensive education and marketing
effort. We could expend significant funds and management resources during the sales cycle and ultimately fail to close the sale.
Historically, our software product sales cycle averages approximately two months for sales to existing customers and from six
to nine months for sales to new customers. Our sales cycle for all of our products and services is subject to significant risks and
delays over which we have little or no control, including:
• Our customers' budgetary constraints;
• The timing of our clients' budget cycles and approval processes;
• The impact of the macroeconomic environment on our customers;
• Our clients' willingness to replace their current methods or software solutions;
• Our need to educate potential customers about the uses and benefits of our products and services; and
• The timing and expiration of our clients' current license agreements or outsourcing agreements for similar services.
If we are unsuccessful in closing sales after expending significant funds and management resources or if we experience delays
as discussed above, it could have a material adverse effect on the amount, timing and predictability of our revenue.
We encounter long and complex implementation cycles, particularly for our largest customers, which could have an adverse
effect on our profitability and the timing and predictability of our revenue.
The implementation of our products and services, particularly in our large CRM engagements, frequently involves complex
configuration, business process reengineering and system interfaces and can extend for a year or more. Our enterprise CRM
product offerings are complex and we may not have historical experience with unanticipated implementation challenges or
complexities that could arise in these engagements. Further, these projects typically are heavily dependent on customer
13
participation, communication and timely responsiveness throughout the implementation cycle. As the complexity of these
engagements increases, our revenues and profitability could suffer from delays in project completion and having to perform
unplanned incremental services at rates substantially below our normal hourly rates or make investments in the form of non-
billable service hours or other concessions. If we are unsuccessful in implementing our products or if we experience delays, it
could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and the timing and predictability of our revenue.
If our customers do not renew their annual maintenance and support agreements or subscriptions for our products or if
they do not renew them on terms that are favorable to us, our business might suffer.
Most of our maintenance agreements and subscriptions are for a one year term. As the end of the annual period approaches, we
seek the renewal of the agreement with the customer. Historically, maintenance and subscriptions renewals have represented a
significant portion of our total revenue. Because of this characteristic of our business, if our customers choose not to renew
their maintenance and support agreements or subscriptions with us on beneficial terms or at all, our business, operating results
and financial condition could be harmed. Our customers' renewal rates may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of
factors, including their level of satisfaction with our products and services and their ability to continue their operations and
spending levels.
We might not generate increased business from our current customers, which could limit our revenue in the future.
Our ability to grow revenue is highly dependent on the success of our efforts to sell additional products and services to our
existing customers. Many of our customers initially make a purchase of only one or a limited number of our products or only
for a single department within their organization. These customers might choose not to expand their use of or make additional
purchases of our products and services. If we fail to generate additional business from our current customers, our revenue could
grow at a slower rate or even decrease. In addition, as we deploy new applications and features for our existing products or
introduce new products and services, our current customers could choose not to purchase these new offerings.
The offering of our products on a subscription basis is evolving and demand by our customers for these offerings is
increasing. Our failure to manage this evolution and demand could lead to lower than expected revenues and profits.
In recent years, much of our revenue growth was derived from increased subscription offerings, including SaaS. This business
model depends heavily on achieving economies of scale because the initial upfront investment is costly and the associated
revenue is recognized on a ratable basis. If we fail to achieve appropriate economies of scale or if we fail to manage or
anticipate the evolution and demand for the subscription software pricing models, then our business and operating results could
be adversely affected. The additional investments required to meet customer demand will increase our cost base, which will
make it more difficult for us to offset any future revenue shortfalls by reducing expenses in the short term.
Defects, delays or interruptions in our SaaS and hosting services could diminish demand for these services and subject us to
substantial liability.
We currently utilize data center hosting facilities to provide SaaS and hosting services to our customers. Any damage to, or
failure of, our data center systems generally could result in interruptions in service to our customers, notwithstanding any
disaster recovery arrangements that may currently be in place at these facilities. Because our SaaS, Internet-based and hosting
service offerings are complex, and we have incorporated a variety of new computer hardware and software systems at the data
centers, our services might have errors or defects that users identify after they begin using our services. This could result in
unanticipated downtime for our customers and harm to our reputation and our business. Internet-based services frequently
contain undetected errors when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. We have from time to time
found defects in our Internet-based services and new errors might again be detected in the future. In addition, our customers
might use our Internet-based offerings in unanticipated ways that cause a disruption in service for other customers attempting to
access their data.
Because our customers use these services for important aspects of their business, any defects, delays or disruptions in service or
other performance problems with our services could hurt our reputation and damage our customers' businesses. If that occurs,
customers could elect to cancel their service, or delay or withhold payment to us, we could lose future sales or customers might
make claims against us, which could result in an increase in our provision for doubtful accounts, an increase in collection
cycles for accounts receivable or the expense and risk of litigation. Any of these could harm our business and our reputation.
14
The market for software and services for nonprofit organizations might not grow and nonprofit organizations might not
continue to adopt our products and services.
Many nonprofit organizations have not traditionally used integrated and comprehensive software and services for their
nonprofit-specific needs. We cannot be certain that the market for such products and services will continue to develop and grow
or that nonprofit organizations will elect to adopt our products and services rather than continue to use traditional, less
automated methods, attempt to develop software internally, rely upon legacy software systems, or use software solutions not
specifically designed for the nonprofit market. Nonprofit organizations that have already invested substantial resources in other
fundraising methods or other non-integrated software solutions might be reluctant to adopt our products and services to
supplement or replace their existing systems or methods. In addition, the implementation of one or more of our core software
products can involve significant time and capital commitments by our customers, which they may be unwilling or unable to
make. If demand for and market acceptance of our products and services does not increase, we might not grow our business as
we expect.
Because a significant portion of our revenue is recognized ratably over the terms of the contract, downturns in sales may
not be immediately reflected in our revenue.
We recognize our maintenance and subscriptions revenue monthly over the term of the customer agreement. The terms of the
customer agreements typically range from 1-3 years. As a result, much of the revenue we report in each quarter is attributable
to agreements entered into during previous quarters. Consequently, a decline in sales to new customers, renewals by existing
customers or market acceptance of our products in any one quarter will not necessarily be fully reflected in the revenues in that
quarter and will negatively affect our revenues and profitability in future quarters.
Our operations might be affected by the occurrence of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event.
We depend on our principal executive offices and other facilities for the continued operation of our business. Although we have
contingency plans in effect for natural disasters or other catastrophic events, these events, including terrorist attacks and natural
disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes, could disrupt one or more of these facilities and adversely affect our operations.
In addition, our Charleston headquarters require a remediation effort to improve weather resistance. This remediation effort is
the responsibility of the landlord, but delays in the remediation or disruption caused by the remediation effort could have an
adverse effect on our operations. Even though we carry business interruption insurance policies and typically have provisions in
our contracts that protect us in certain events, we might suffer losses as a result of business interruptions that exceed the
coverage available under our insurance policies or for which we do not have coverage. Any natural disaster or catastrophic
event affecting us could have a significant negative impact on our operations.
If the security of our software is breached, we fail to securely collect, store and transmit customer information, or we fail to
safeguard confidential donor data, our products and services might be perceived as not being secure and our reputation and
business could suffer.
Fundamental to the use of our products is the secure collection, storage and transmission of confidential donor and end user
information. The commercially available network and application security, internal control measures, and physical security
procedures to safeguard our systems, may not be sufficient to prevent a security breach, intrusion, loss or theft of personal
information will not occur, which may harm our business, customer reputation and future financial results. Any such breach
may require us to expend significant resources to address, including notification under data privacy regulations.
Additionally, despite our efforts to combat such measures, computer hackers may attempt to penetrate or bypass our data
protection and other security measures and gain unauthorized access to our networks, systems and data or compromise the
confidential information of data of our customers. Computer hackers may be able to develop and deploy computer viruses,
worms, and other malicious software programs that could attack our products and services, exploit potential security
vulnerabilities of our products and services, create system disruptions and cause shutdowns or denials of service. Data may also
be accessed or modified improperly as a result of employee or supplier error or malfeasance and third parties may attempt to
fraudulently induce employees or customers into disclosing sensitive information such as user names, passwords or other
information in order to gain access to our data, our customers’ data or our IT systems. These risks for us will increase as we
continue to grow our cloud-based offerings and services and store and process increasingly large amounts of our customers’
confidential information and data and host or manage parts of our customers’ business in cloud-based IT environments,
especially in customer sectors involving particularly sensitive data such as health sciences, financial services and the
government. We also have an active acquisition program and have acquired a number of companies, products, services and
technologies over the years. While we make significant efforts to address any IT security issues with respect to our acquisitions,
we may still inherit such risks when we integrate these acquisitions within our business.
15
A compromise of our software or other problems that results in customer or donor personal information being obtained by
unauthorized persons could adversely affect our reputation with our customers and others, as well as our operations, results of
operations, financial condition and liquidity and could result in litigation against us or the imposition of penalties. In addition, a
security breach could require that we expend significant additional resources related to our information security systems and
could result in a disruption of our operations, particularly our online sales operations. The existence of vulnerabilities, even if
they do not result in a security breach, may harm customer confidence and require substantial resources to address, and we may
not be able to discover or remedy such security vulnerabilities before they are exploited. Also, computers, including those that
use our software, are vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions, which could lead
to interruptions, delays or loss of data. We might be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect further
against security breaches or to rectify problems caused by any security breach.
Privacy and security concerns, including evolving government regulation in the area of consumer data privacy, could
adversely affect our business and operating results.
The effectiveness of our software products relies on our customers' storage and use of data concerning their customers,
including financial, personally identifying and other sensitive data. Our customers' collection and use of this data for donor
profiling might raise privacy and security concerns and negatively impact the demand for our products and services. For
example, our custom modeling and analytical services, including ProspectPoint, WealthPoint and donorCentrics, rely heavily
on securing and making use of data we gather from various sources and privacy laws could jeopardize our ability to market and
profit from those services. If a breach of customer data security were to occur, our products may be perceived as less desirable,
which would negatively affect our business and operating results.
Governments in some jurisdictions have enacted or are considering enacting consumer data privacy legislation, including laws
and regulations applying to the solicitation, collection, processing and use of consumer data. This legislation could reduce the
demand for our software products if we fail to design or enhance our products to enable our customers to comply with the
privacy and security measures required by the legislation. Moreover, we may be exposed to liability under existing or new
consumer data privacy legislation. For example, we are subject to the privacy provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, and might be subject to similar provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and related
regulations. Even technical violations of these laws can result in penalties that are assessed for each non-compliant transaction.
As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Congress passed the Health Information Technology for
Economic and Clinical Health Act, or HI-TECH Act. The HI-TECH Act expands the reach of data privacy and security
requirements of HIPAA to service providers. HIPAA and associated United States Department of Health and Human Services
regulations permit our customers in the healthcare industry to use certain demographic protected health information (such as
name, email or physical address and dates of service) for fundraising purposes and to disclose that subset of protected health
information to their service providers for fundraising. We may be included in this service provider group under the revised
HIPAA regulations by virtue of our service provider relationship with our customers in the healthcare industry. In general, we
seek to contractually prohibit our healthcare industry customers from using other types of health information of their clients for
fundraising purposes that would be non-compliant with HIPAA, but we believe monitoring our healthcare customers'
compliance with such prohibitions is not legally required of service providers and would be cost prohibitive. The law and
regulations under HI-TECH are new and still subject to change or interpretation by legal authorities who could cause additional
compliance burdens. If we or our customers were found to be subject to and in violation of any of these laws or other data
privacy laws or regulations, our business could suffer and we and/or our customers would likely have to change our business
practices. In addition, these laws and regulations could impose significant costs on us and our customers and make it more
difficult for donors to make online donations.
We are in the information technology business, and our products and services store, retrieve, manipulate and manage our
customers’ information and data. The effectiveness of our software products relies on our customers’ storage and use of data
concerning their donors, including financial, personally identifying and other sensitive data and our business uses similar
systems that require us to store and use data with respect to our customers and personnel. Our collection and our customers’
collection and use of this data might raise privacy and security concerns and negatively impact our business or the demand for
our products and services. If a breach of data security were to occur, our business may be materially and adversely impacted
and products may be perceived as less desirable, which would negatively affect our business and operating results.
If we are unable, or customers believe we are unable, to detect and prevent unauthorized use of credit cards and safeguard
confidential donor data, we could be subject to financial liability, our reputation could be harmed and customers may be
reluctant to use our products and services.
Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other events or developments could result in
a compromise or breach of the technology we use to protect sensitive transaction data. If any such compromise of our security,
16
or the security of our customers, were to occur, it could result in misappropriation of proprietary information or interruptions in
operations and have an adverse impact on our reputation or the reputation of our customers. All of our products are currently
certified as Payment Application Data Security Standard compliant. Currently some of our products are not fully compliant
with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or PCI DSS. This or other factors could make customers believe we are
unable to detect and prevent unauthorized use of credit cards or confidential donor data, which could harm our business.
Additionally, these factors could make issuing banks believe the transactions of our customers are compromised and refuse to
process those transactions, which could harm the reputation of our products and our business.
Conforming our products and services to PCI DSS is expensive and time-consuming. Our failure to achieve or maintain
compliance with PCI DSS could make customers believe we are unable to detect and prevent unauthorized use of credit cards
and bank account numbers or protect confidential donor data and our reputation and business might be harmed.
Our operations process a significant volume and dollar value of transactions on a daily basis, especially in our payroll and
payments businesses. Due to the size and volume of transactions that we handle, effective processing systems and controls are
essential to ensure that transactions are handled appropriately. Despite our efforts, it is possible that we may make errors or that
funds may be misappropriated due to fraud. The systems supporting our business are comprised of multiple technology
platforms that are difficult to scale. If we are unable to effectively manage our systems and processes we may be unable to
process customer data in an accurate, reliable and timely manner, which may harm our business. In our payments processing
services business, if merchants for whom we process payment transactions are unable to pay refunds due to their customers in
connection with disputed or fraudulent merchant transactions, we may be required to pay those amounts and our payments may
exceed the amount of the customer reserves we have established to make such payments.
As a result of the evolution of our business model to meet customer demand, roughly two thirds of our revenue is now from
subscriptions and services, which produces substantially lower gross margins than our traditional license and maintenance
revenue. Continuation of this trend will dilute our overall gross margins.
Over the past several years we have evolved our business model toward subscription and service based delivery and away from
the traditional software model of perpetual licenses with term-based maintenance. For example, in 2013 our subscription
revenue exceeded our combined license and maintenance revenue for the first time, and together subscription and services
revenue comprised approximately two thirds of our total revenue. These changes in our model have been driven by customer
demand, and we believe have the long-term benefit of producing more predictable and recurring long-term revenue streams.
However our subscription and services revenue generate substantially lower gross margins than our product license revenue.
For example, in 2013, our subscriptions and services gross margins were 56% and 18%, respectively, whereas for the same
period our license and maintenance revenue gross margins were 83% and 81%, respectively. We expect that over time the shift
toward subscription and services revenue will continue. If we are unable to achieve economies of scale in our subscription
business or increase efficiency in our services business, our overall margins will be adversely affected. Additionally, if
nonprofits in general, and specifically our customers and prospects, desire to adopt our subscription offerings much more
rapidly than we currently anticipate and we are unable to respond in a timely fashion, we could encounter significant adverse
effects to our business, including substantial capital expenditures, reduction in profitability, decrease in revenue growth and/or
we could become potentially less competitive, resulting in a loss of market share.
Certain of our services are contracted under fixed fee arrangements, which we base on estimates. If our estimated number of
hours to perform engagement implementation services are less than our actual hours, our operating results would be adversely
affected. Services revenue as a percentage of total revenue has varied significantly from quarter to quarter due to fluctuations in
licensing revenue, economic changes, varying accounting treatments, changes in the average selling prices for our products and
services, our customers' acceptance of our products and our sales force execution. In addition, the volume and profitability of
services can depend in large part upon:
• Competitive pricing pressure on the rates that we can charge for our services;
• The complexity of the customers' information technology environment and the existence of multiple non-integrated
legacy databases;
• The resources directed by customers to their implementation projects;
• The extent of software customization included in the implementation projects; and
• The extent to which outside consulting organizations provide services directly to customers.
A decrease in the demand for services could adversely affect our profitability and operating results.
17
Our quarterly financial results fluctuate and might be difficult to forecast and, if our future results are below either any
guidance we might issue or the expectations of public market analysts and investors, the price of our common stock might
decline.
Our quarterly revenue and results of operations are difficult to forecast. We have experienced, and expect to continue to
experience, fluctuations in revenue and operating results from quarter to quarter. As a result, we believe that quarter-to-quarter
comparisons of our revenue and operating results are not necessarily meaningful and that such comparisons might not be
accurate indicators of future performance. The reasons for these fluctuations include but are not limited to:
• The size and timing of sales of our software, including the relatively long sales cycles associated with many of our
larger software sales;
• Budget and spending decisions by our customers;
• The degree of judgment required to estimate large consulting service engagements;
•
Scheduling considerations by our customers as they impact the delivery of purchased services;
• Varying accounting treatments based upon the facts and circumstances of each arrangement;
• Utilization of our professional services personnel;
• Market acceptance of new products we release or acquire;
• Changes in general economic conditions and conditions in the markets we serve;
• Costs related to acquisitions of technologies or businesses;
• The growth rates of certain market segments in which we compete;
• The amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the operations and expansion of our
business;
• Changes in our pricing policies and terms of contracts, whether initiated by us or as a result of competition;
• The rate of expansion and productivity of our sales force and the impact of reorganizations of our sales force;
• Technical difficulties or interruptions in our service;
• Changes in foreign currency exchange rates;
• Changes in the effective tax rates due to changes in the mix of earnings and losses in countries with differing statutory
tax rates, certain non-deductible expenses, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and our ability
to utilize them, changes in federal, state or international tax laws and accounting principles, changes in judgment from
the evaluation of new information that results in a recognition, derecognition or change in measurement of a tax
position taken in a prior period, results of tax examinations by local and foreign taxing authorities;
• Expenses related to significant, unusual or discrete events which are recorded in the period in which the events occur;
• Regulatory compliance costs; and
• Extraordinary expenses such as litigation or other dispute-related settlement payments.
Many of these factors are outside of our control, and the occurrence of one or more of them might cause our operating results to
vary widely. As such, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our revenues, operating results, changes in our deferred
revenue and unbilled deferred revenue balances and cash flows may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an
indication of future performance.
Our operating expenses, which include sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative
expenses, are based on our expectations of future revenue and are, to a large extent, fixed in the short term. If revenue falls
below our expectations in a quarter and we are not able to quickly reduce our operating expenses in response, our operating
results for that quarter could be adversely affected. It is possible that in some future quarter our operating results may be below
either any guidance we might issue or the expectations of public market analysts and investors and, as a result, the price of our
common stock might fall.
If we fail to respond to technological changes to be competitive, our business could suffer.
The software industry is characterized by technological change, evolving industry standards in hardware and software
technology, changes in customer requirements and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. The introduction of
18
products encompassing new technologies can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. As a result, our future
success will depend, in part, upon our ability to continue to enhance existing products and develop and introduce in a timely
manner or acquire new products that keep pace with technological developments, satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer
requirements and achieve market acceptance. There is no assurance that we will successfully identify new product
opportunities and develop and bring new products to market in a timely and cost-effective manner. Further, there can be no
assurance that the products, capabilities or technologies developed by others will not render our products or technologies
obsolete or noncompetitive. In addition, because our service is designed to operate on a variety of network hardware and
software platforms using a standard browser, we will need to continuously modify and enhance our service to keep pace with
changes in Internet-related hardware, software, communication, browser and database technologies. We have made and
continue to make significant working capital investments in accordance with evolving industry and customer requirements.
These concentrations of working capital increase our risk of loss due to product or technology obsolescence. If we are unable to
develop or acquire on a timely and cost-effective basis new software products or enhancements to existing products or if such
new products or enhancements do not achieve market acceptance, our business, results of operations and financial condition
may be materially adversely affected.
Because competition for highly qualified personnel is intense, we might not be able to attract and retain key personnel and
personnel we need to support our planned growth.
To meet our objectives successfully, we must attract and retain highly qualified personnel with specialized skill sets. If we are
unable to attract suitably qualified management, there could be a material adverse impact on our business. In addition, to
execute our continuing growth plans, we need to increase the size and maintain the quality of our sales force, software
development staff and our professional services organization. Competition for qualified personnel can be intense, and we might
not be successful in attracting and retaining them. The pool of qualified personnel with experience working with or selling to
nonprofit organizations is limited overall and specifically in Charleston, South Carolina, where our principal office is located.
Our ability to maintain and expand our sales, product development and professional services teams will depend on our ability
to recruit, train and retain top quality people with advanced skills who understand sales to, and the specific needs of, nonprofit
organizations. For these reasons, we have from time to time in the past experienced, and we expect to continue to experience in
the future, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications for our business. In
addition, it takes time for our new sales and services personnel to become productive, particularly with respect to obtaining and
supporting major customer accounts. We might also engage additional third-party consultants as contractors, which could have
a negative impact on our earnings. If we are unable to hire or retain qualified personnel, or if newly hired personnel fail to
develop the necessary skills or reach productivity slower than anticipated, it would be more difficult for us to sell our products
and services, we could experience a shortfall in revenue or earnings and not achieve our planned growth.
Further, in the past, we have used equity incentive programs as part of our overall employee compensation arrangements to
both attract and retain personnel. A decline in our stock price could negatively impact the value of these equity incentive and
related compensation programs as retention and recruiting tools. We may need to create new or additional equity incentive
programs and/or compensation packages to remain competitive, which could be dilutive to our existing stockholders and/or
adversely affect our results of operations.
If we do not successfully address the risks inherent in the expansion of our international operations, our business could
suffer.
We currently have operations in Canada, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, and we intend
to expand further into international markets. We have limited experience in international operations and might not be able to
compete effectively in international markets. Our international offices generated revenues of approximately $63.9 million,
$61.0 million and $53.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Accordingly,
international revenue increased 4.8% and 13.8% in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Expansion of our international operations will
require a significant amount of attention from our management and substantial financial resources and might require us to add
qualified management in these markets. Our direct sales model requires us to attract, retain and manage qualified sales
personnel capable of selling into markets outside the United States. In some cases, our costs of sales might increase if our
customers require us to sell through local distributors.
If we are unable to grow our international operations in a cost effective and timely manner, our business and operating results
could be harmed. Doing business internationally involves additional risks that could harm our operating results, including:
• Difficulties associated with and costs of staffing and managing international operations;
• Differing technology standards;
• Difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods;
19
•
•
•
Political and economic instability;
Imposition of currency exchange controls;
Potentially adverse tax consequences;
• Reduced protection for intellectual property rights in certain countries;
• Dependence on local vendors;
•
Protectionist laws and business practices that favor local competition;
• Compliance with multiple conflicting and changing governmental laws and regulations;
•
Seasonal reductions in business activity specific to certain markets;
• Longer sales cycles;
• Restrictions on repatriation of earnings or new taxation thereon;
• Differing labor regulations;
• Differing accounting rules and practices;
• Restrictive privacy regulations in different countries, particularly in the European Union;
• Restrictions on the export of technologies such as data security and encryption;
• Compliance with U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and local laws prohibiting corrupt payments to
government officials; and
•
Import and export restrictions and tariffs.
We expect that an increasing portion of our international revenues will be denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting us to
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. If we expand our international operations, exposures to gains and losses on
foreign currency transactions may increase.
Material defects or errors in the software we use to deliver our services could harm our reputation, result in significant costs
to us and impair our ability to sell our services.
The software applications underlying our services are inherently complex and may contain material defects or errors,
particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. We have from time to time found
defects in our service, and new errors in our existing service may be detected in the future. Any defects that cause interruptions
to the availability of our services could result in adverse impacts to our business, including:
• A reduction in sales or delay in market acceptance of our services;
•
Sales credits or refunds to our customers;
• Loss of existing customers and difficulty in attracting new customers;
• Diversion of development resources;
• Harm to our reputation; and
•
Increased warranty and insurance costs.
After the release of our services, defects or errors may also be identified from time to time by our internal team and by our
customers. The costs incurred in correcting any material defects or errors in our services may be substantial and could harm our
operating results. Furthermore, our customers may use our software together with products from other companies. As a result,
when problems occur, it might be difficult to identify the source of the problem. Even when our software does not cause these
problems, the existence of these errors might cause us to incur significant costs, divert the attention of our technical personnel
from our product development efforts, impact our reputation and cause significant customer relations problems.
Our failure to obtain licenses for third-party technologies could harm our business.
We expect to continue licensing technologies from third parties, including applications used in our research and development
activities, technologies which are integrated into our products and products that we resell. We believe that the loss of any third-
party technologies currently integrated into our products could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our inability in
20
the future to obtain any third-party licenses on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, could delay future product
development until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed or developed and integrated. This inability in turn would
harm our business and operating results. Our use of third-party technologies exposes us to increased risks including, but not
limited to, risks associated with the integration of new technology into our products, the diversion of our resources from
development of our own proprietary technology and our inability to generate revenue from licensed technology sufficient to
offset associated acquisition and maintenance costs.
Claims that we or our technologies infringe upon the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of a third party may
require us to incur significant costs, enter into royalty or licensing agreements or develop or license substitute technology.
We may in the future be subject to claims that our technologies in our products and services infringe upon the intellectual
property or other proprietary rights of a third party. In addition, the vendors providing us with technology that we use in our
own technology could become subject to similar infringement claims. Although we believe that our products and services do
not infringe any intellectual property or other proprietary rights, we cannot be certain that our products and services do not, or
that they will not in the future, infringe intellectual property or other proprietary rights held by others. Any claims of
infringement could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the claim, even if the claim is without merit, and could
distract our management from our business. Moreover, any settlement or adverse judgment resulting from the claim could
require us to pay substantial amounts, or obtain a license to continue to use the products and services that are the subject of the
claim, and/or otherwise restrict or prohibit our use of the technology. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain
a license on commercially reasonable terms from the third party asserting any particular claim, or that we would be able to
successfully develop alternative technology on a timely basis, or that we would be able to obtain a license from another
provider of suitable alternative technology to permit us to continue offering, and our customers to continue using, the products
and services. In addition, we generally provide in our customer agreements for certain products and services that we will
indemnify our customers against third-party infringement claims relating to technology we provide to those customers, which
could obligate us to pay damages if the products and services were found to be infringing. Infringement claims asserted against
us, our vendors or our customers may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results
of operations.
Our solutions utilize open source software, which may subject us to litigation, require us to re-engineer our solutions, or
otherwise divert resources away from our development efforts.
We use open source software in connection with certain of our solutions. Such open source software is generally licensed by its
authors or other third parties under open source licenses, including, for example, the GNU General Public License, the GNU
Lesser General Public License, “Apache-style” licenses, “BSD-style” licenses and other open source licenses. There is little
legal precedent governing the interpretation of many of the terms of some of these licenses, and therefore the potential impact
of these terms on our business is currently unable to be determined and may result in unanticipated obligations regarding our
products and technologies. From time to time, companies that incorporate open source software into their products have faced
claims challenging the ownership of open source software and/or compliance with open source license terms. Therefore, we
could be subject to litigation by parties claiming ownership of open source software or noncompliance with open source
licensing terms. Some open source software licenses require users who distribute open source software as part of their own
software to publicly disclose all or part of the source code to such software and/or make available any derivative works of the
open source code on unfavorable terms or at no cost. While we monitor our use of open source software and try to ensure that
none is used in a manner that would require us to disclose the source code or that would otherwise breach the terms of an open
source agreement, such use could inadvertently occur and we may be required to release proprietary source code, pay damages
for breach of contract, re-engineer our applications, discontinue sales in the event re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a
timely basis, or take other remedial action that may divert resources away from our development efforts, any of which could
adversely affect our business.
We rely upon trademark, copyright, patent and trade secret laws to protect our proprietary rights, which might not provide
us with adequate protection.
Our success and ability to compete depends to a significant degree upon the protection of our software and other proprietary
technology rights. We might not be successful in protecting our proprietary technology and our proprietary rights might not
provide us with a meaningful competitive advantage. To protect our core proprietary technology, we rely on a combination of
patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as nondisclosure agreements, each of which affords only limited
protection. We have no patent protection for The Raiser's Edge, which is one of our core products and responsible for a
significant portion of our revenue. Any inability to protect our intellectual property rights could seriously harm our business,
operating results and financial condition. It is possible that:
21
• Any patents issued to us may not be timely or broad enough to protect our proprietary rights;
• Any issued patent could be successfully challenged by one or more third parties, which could result in our loss of the
right to prevent others from exploiting the inventions claimed in those patents; and
• Current and future competitors may independently develop similar technologies, duplicate our products or design
around any of our patents.
In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights in our products to the same extent as do the
laws of the United States. Despite the measures taken by us, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and
use our proprietary technology and information without authorization. Policing unauthorized use of our products is difficult,
and litigation could become necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights. Any litigation could be time
consuming and expensive to prosecute or resolve, and could result in substantial diversion of management attention and
resources and materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Restrictions in our revolving credit facility may limit our activities, including dividend payments, share repurchases and
acquisitions.
Our credit facility contains restrictions, including covenants limiting our ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, make
acquisitions and other investments, prepay specified debt, consolidate, merge or acquire other businesses, sell assets, pay
dividends and other distributions, repurchase stock and enter into transactions with affiliates. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to remain in compliance with the covenants to which we are subject in the future and, if we fail to do so, that we
will be able to obtain waivers from our lenders or amend the covenants.
In the event of a default under our credit facility, we could be required to immediately repay all outstanding borrowings, which
we might not be able to do. In addition, certain of our material domestic subsidiaries will be required to guarantee amounts
borrowed under the credit facility, and we have pledged the shares of certain of our subsidiaries as collateral for our obligations
under the credit facility. Any such default could have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate, including allowing
lenders under the credit facility to enforce guarantees of our subsidiaries, if any, or exercise their rights with respect to the
shares pledged as collateral.
Our business and financial performance could be negatively impacted by changes in tax laws or regulations.
We and our customers are subject to a wide variety of tax laws and regulations in jurisdictions around the world. In response to
recent economic challenges, we anticipate that many of the jurisdictions in which we and our customers do business will
review tax and other revenue raising laws and regulations. New income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations
or ordinances could be enacted at any time. Further, existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be
interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us or our customers. Any changes to these existing tax laws could
adversely affect our domestic and international business operations, and our business and financial performance. Additionally,
these events could require us or our customers to pay additional tax amounts on a prospective or retroactive basis, as well as
require us or our customers to pay fines and/or penalties and interest for past amounts deemed to be due. Additionally, new,
changed, modified or newly interpreted or applied tax laws could increase our customers' and our compliance, operating and
other costs, as well as the costs of our products. Further, these events could decrease the capital we have available to operate
our business. Any or all of these events could adversely impact our business and financial performance.
We have recorded a significant deferred tax asset, and we might never realize the full value of our deferred tax asset, which
would result in a charge against our earnings.
In connection with the initial acquisition of our common stock as part of our recapitalization in 1999, we recorded
approximately $107.0 million as a deferred tax asset. As of December 31, 2013, we have deferred tax assets recognized of
$60.1 million, of which $5.8 million relates to our 1999 recapitalization.
Realization of our deferred tax asset is dependent upon our generating sufficient taxable income in future years to realize the
tax benefit from that asset. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at least annually for realizability. A charge against our earnings
would result if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be
realized. This could be caused by, among other things, deterioration in performance, loss of key contracts, adverse market
conditions, adverse changes in applicable laws or regulations, including changes that restrict the activities of or affect the
products sold by our business and a variety of other factors. If a deferred tax asset was determined to be not realizable in a
future period, the charge to earnings would be recognized as an expense in our results of operations in the period the
determination is made. Additionally, if we are unable to utilize our deferred tax assets, our cash flow available to fund
operations could be adversely effected.
22
Depending on future circumstances, it is possible that we might never realize the full value of our deferred tax asset. Any future
determination of impairment of a significant portion of our deferred tax asset would have an adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.
Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards may be limited.
Included in our deferred tax asset balance is $14.6 million related to federal net operating loss carryforwards at December 31,
2013. Our federal net operating loss carryforwards are subject to limitations on how much may be utilized on an annual basis.
The use of the net operating loss carryforwards may have additional limitations resulting from certain future ownership changes
or other factors set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. If our net operating loss carryforwards are further limited, and we have
taxable income which exceeds the available net operating loss carryforwards for that period, we would incur an income tax
liability even though net operating loss carryforwards may be available in future years prior to their expiration, which would
have an adverse effect on our future cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.
We might face challenges in integrating acquisitions and, as a result, might not realize the expected benefits of these
acquisitions.
We have completed significant acquisitions over the past five years and we may undertake additional acquisitions in the future.
Managing and integrating the operations and personnel of an acquired company can be a complex process. The integration
might not be completed rapidly or achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. The successful integration of acquired
companies will require, among other things, coordination of various departments, including product development, engineering,
sales and marketing and finance. Further, a successful integration of acquired companies internal control structure will be
required. The diversion of the attention of management and any difficulties encountered in this process could cause the
disruption of, or a loss of momentum in, sales or product development. If we are unable to successfully integrate the operations
and personnel of our recently acquired companies, or if there is any significant delay in achieving integration, we will not
realize the revenue growth, synergies and other anticipated benefits we expected and our business and results of operations
could be adversely affected.
If we are unable to retain key personnel of our acquisitions, our business may suffer.
The success of our acquisitions will depend in part on our ability to retain their engineering, sales, marketing, development and
other personnel. It is possible that these employees might decide to terminate their employment. If key employees terminate
their employment, the sales, marketing or development activities of acquired companies might be adversely affected, our
management's attention might be diverted from successfully integrating the acquired operations and to hiring suitable
replacements and, as a result, our business might suffer.
Future acquisitions could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and strain our
resources.
As part of our business strategy, we have made acquisitions in the past, and, we might acquire additional companies, services
and technologies that we feel could complement or expand our business, augment our market coverage, enhance our technical
capabilities, provide us with important customer contacts or otherwise offer growth opportunities. Acquisitions and
investments involve numerous risks, including:
• Difficulties in integrating operations, technologies, services, accounting and personnel;
• Difficulties in supporting and transitioning customers of our acquired companies;
• Diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations;
• Risks of entering new sectors of the nonprofit industry;
•
•
Potential loss of key employees; and
Inability to generate sufficient return on investment.
Acquisitions also frequently result in recording of goodwill and other intangible assets, which are subject to potential
impairments in the future that could harm our operating results. In addition, if we finance acquisitions by issuing equity
securities or securities convertible into equity securities, our existing stockholders would be diluted which, in turn, could affect
the market price of our stock. Moreover, we could finance any acquisition with debt, resulting in higher leverage and interest
costs. As a result, if we fail to evaluate and execute acquisitions or investments properly, we might not achieve the anticipated
benefits of any such acquisition and we may incur costs in excess of what we anticipate. Furthermore, if we incur additional
23
debt to fund acquisitions and are unable to service our debt obligation we may have a greater risk of default under our credit
facility.
If we are not able to manage our anticipated growth effectively, our operating costs may increase and our operating margins
may decrease.
We will need to continue to grow our infrastructure to address our acquisitions and other potential market opportunities. Our
growth will continue to place, to the extent that we are able to sustain such growth, a strain on our management, administrative,
operational and financial infrastructure. If we continue to grow our operations, by way of additional business combinations or
otherwise, we may not be effective in enlarging our physical facilities and our systems and our procedures or controls may not
be adequate to support such expansion or our business generally. If we are unable to manage our growth, our operating costs
may increase and our operating margins may decrease.
Increasing government regulation could affect our business.
We are subject, not only to regulations applicable to businesses generally, but also to laws and regulations directly applicable to
electronic commerce and other regulations. Although there are currently few such laws and regulations, state, federal and
foreign governments may adopt laws and regulations applicable to our business. Any such legislation or regulation could
dampen the growth of the Internet and decrease its acceptance. If such a decline occurs, companies may decide in the future not
to use our products and services. Any new laws or regulations in the following areas, among others, could affect our business:
• User privacy;
•
Payment processing;
• The pricing and taxation of goods and services offered over the Internet;
• Taxation of foreign earnings;
• The content of websites;
• Copyrights;
• Consumer protection, including the potential application of “do not call” registry requirements on our customers and
consumer backlash in general to direct marketing efforts of our customers;
• The online distribution of specific material or content over the Internet; and
• The characteristics and quality of products and services offered over the Internet.
Pending and enacted legislation at the state and federal levels, including those related to fundraising activities, may also restrict
further our information gathering and disclosure practices, for example, by requiring us to comply with extensive and costly
registration, reporting or disclosure requirements.
Item 1B. Unresolved staff comments
None.
Item 2. Properties
We lease our headquarters in Charleston, South Carolina which consists of approximately 220,000 square feet. The lease on our
Charleston headquarters expires in October 2024, and we have the option for two 5-year renewal periods. We also lease
additional facilities in Charleston, South Carolina; Austin, Texas; Indianapolis, Indiana, Cambridge, Massachusetts;
Washington D.C.; San Diego and Emeryville, California; Overland Park, Kansas; Lincoln, Nebraska; Miami, Florida; Almere,
the Netherlands; Glasgow, Scotland; Dublin, Ireland; London, England; East Brisbane, Australia; and Sydney, Australia. We
believe that our properties are in good operating condition and adequately serve our current business operations for all of our
business segments. We also anticipate that suitable additional or alternative space, including those under lease options, will be
available at commercially reasonable terms for future expansion.
Item 3. Legal proceedings
From time to time we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from our ordinary course of business. We do
not believe that there are any claims or actions pending or threatened against us, the ultimate disposition of which would have a
material adverse effect on us.
24
Item 4. Mine safety disclosures
Not applicable.

As of February 12, 2014, there were approximately 156 stockholders of record of our common stock. Because many of our
shares of common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, this number is not representative
of the total number of stockholders represented by these stockholders of record. On February 12, 2014, the closing price of our
common stock was $32.56.

In August 2010, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorized us to purchase up to
$50.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. We have not made any repurchases under the program to
date, and the program does not have an expiration date.
Dividend policy and restrictions
Our Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy which reflects an intention to distribute to our stockholders a portion of
the cash generated by our business that exceeds our operating needs and capital expenditures as regular quarterly dividends.
This policy reflects our judgment that we can provide greater value to our stockholders by distributing to them a portion of the
cash generated by our business.
In accordance with this dividend policy, we paid quarterly dividends at an annual rate of $0.48 per share in 2013 and 2012,
resulting in an aggregate dividend payment to stockholders of $22.1 million and $21.7 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively.
In February 2014, our Board of Directors approved an annual dividend rate of $0.48 per share for 2014. We declared a first
quarter dividend of $0.12 per share payable on March 14, 2014, to stockholders of record on February 28, 2014, and currently
intend to pay quarterly dividends at an annual rate of $0.48 per share of common stock for each of the remaining fiscal quarters
in 2014. Dividends at this rate would total approximately $22.6 million in the aggregate on the common stock in 2014
(assuming 47.0 million shares of common stock are outstanding, net of treasury stock).
Dividends on our common stock will not be cumulative. Consequently, if dividends on our common stock are not declared and/
or paid at the targeted level, our stockholders will not be entitled to receive such payments in the future. We are not obligated to
pay dividends, and as described more fully below, our stockholders might not receive any dividends as a result of the following
factors:
• Our credit facility limits the amount of dividends we are permitted to pay;
• Our Board of Directors could decide to reduce dividends or not to pay dividends at all, at any time and for any reason;
• The amount of dividends distributed is subject to state law restrictions; and
• We might not have enough cash to pay dividends due to changes to our operating earnings, working capital
requirements and anticipated cash needs.
Assumptions and considerations
We estimate that the cash necessary to fund dividends on our common stock for 2014 at an annual rate of $0.48 per share is
approximately $22.6 million (assuming 47.0 million shares of common stock are outstanding, net of treasury stock).
We have a stock repurchase program that authorizes us to purchase up to $50.0 million of our outstanding shares of common
stock. The program does not have an expiration date. The shares could be purchased in a self-tender for our stock, from time to
time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending upon market conditions and other factors, all in
accordance with the requirements of applicable law. Any open market purchases under the repurchase program will be made in
compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and all other applicable securities regulations. We might
not purchase any shares of common stock and our Board of Directors may decide, in its absolute discretion, at any time and for
any reason, to cancel the stock repurchase program.
28
We believe that our cash on hand and the cash flows we expect to generate from operations will be sufficient to meet our
liquidity requirements through 2014, including dividends and purchases under our stock repurchase program. See
“Management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations — Liquidity and capital resources” in
this report.
If our assumptions as to operating expenses, working capital requirements and capital expenditures are too low or if unexpected
cash needs arise that we are not able to fund with cash on hand or with borrowings under our credit facility, we would need to
either reduce or eliminate dividends. If we were to use working capital or permanent borrowings to fund dividends, we would
have less cash available for future dividends and other purposes, which could negatively impact our stock price, financial
condition, results of operations and ability to maintain or expand our business.
We have estimated our dividend only for 2014, and we cannot assure our stockholders that during or following 2014 we will
pay dividends at the estimated levels, or at all. We are not required to pay dividends and our Board of Directors may modify or
revoke our dividend policy at any time. Dividend payments are within the absolute discretion of our Board of Directors and will
be dependent upon many factors and future developments that could differ materially from our current expectations. Indeed,
over time our capital and other cash needs, including unexpected cash needs, will invariably change and remain subject to
uncertainties, which could impact the level of any dividends we pay in the future.
We believe that our dividend policy could limit, but not preclude, our ability to pursue growth as we intend to retain sufficient
cash after the distribution of dividends to permit the pursuit of growth opportunities that do not require material capital
investments. In order to pay dividends at the level currently anticipated under our dividend policy and to fund any substantial
portion of our stock repurchase program, we expect that we could require financing or borrowings to fund any significant
acquisitions or to pursue growth opportunities requiring capital expenditures significantly beyond our anticipated capital
expenditure levels. Management will evaluate potential growth opportunities as they arise and, if our Board of Directors
determines that it is in our best interest to use cash that would otherwise be available for distribution as dividends to pursue an
acquisition opportunity, to materially increase capital spending or for some other purpose, the Board would be free to depart
from or change our dividend policy at any time.
Restrictions on payment of dividends
Under Delaware law, we can only pay dividends either out of “surplus” (which is defined as total assets at fair market value
minus total liabilities, minus statutory capital) or out of current or the immediately preceding year’s earnings. As of
December 31, 2013, we had $11.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. In addition, we anticipate that we will have sufficient
earnings in 2014 to pay dividends at the level described above. Although we believe we will have sufficient surplus and
earnings to pay dividends at the anticipated levels for 2014, our Board of Directors will seek periodically to assure itself of this
sufficiency before actually declaring any dividends.
We entered into an amended and restated credit facility in February 2012. The amended credit facility restricts our ability to
declare and pay dividends on our common stock. In order to pay any cash dividends and/or repurchase shares of stock: (1) no
default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing under the credit facility, and (2) we must be in compliance
with a leverage ratio set forth in the credit agreement. See “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and
results of operations — Liquidity and capital resources” in this report.
Item 6. Selected financial data
The selected financial data set forth below should be read in conjunction with “Management’s discussion and analysis of

Item 7. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with
Item 1A Risk factors and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements reflect our
current view with respect to future events and financial performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those
set forth under “Item 1A. Risk factors” and elsewhere in this report, that could cause actual results to differ materially from
historical or anticipated results. Except as required by law, we do not intend, and undertake no obligation to revise or update
these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
Executive summary
We provide cloud-based and on-premise software solutions and related services designed specifically for nonprofit
organizations. Our products and services enable nonprofit organizations to increase donations, reduce fundraising costs,
improve communications with constituents, manage their finances and optimize internal operations. We continue to make
investments in our product portfolio and go-to-market organization to ensure we are properly positioned to benefit from shifts
in the market, including demand for our subscription-based offerings. As of December 31, 2013, we had more than 29,000
active customers distributed across multiple verticals within the nonprofit market including education, foundations, health and
human services, religion, arts and cultural, public and societal benefits, environment and animal welfare as well as international
foreign affairs.
We derive revenue from charging subscription fees for the use of our SaaS solutions, selling perpetual licenses and providing a
broad offering of services, including consulting, training, installation and implementation services, as well as ongoing customer
support and maintenance. Consulting, training and implementation are generally not essential to the functionality of our
software products and are sold separately. Furthermore, we derive revenue from providing hosting services, performing donor
prospect research engagements, selling lists of potential donors, and providing transaction processing services, benchmarking
studies and data modeling services.
We completed our acquisition of Convio in May 2012 for $335.7 million in consideration. We have included the results of
operations of Convio in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition, which impacts the comparability of
our statements of comprehensive income when comparing 2013 to 2012 and 2012 to 2011. Because we have integrated a
substantial amount of the Convio operations and have made product rationalization decisions, it is not possible to determine the
revenue and operating costs attributable solely to the acquired business for 2013.
Overall, revenue in 2013 increased $56.4 million or 13% when compared to 2012. This increase was primarily the result of the
inclusion of Convio for the full year in 2013 compared to only eight months in 2012 as well as growth in demand for our online
and hosted solutions, as our business continues to shift towards subscription-based offerings. An increase in the volume of
transactions for which we process payments also contributed to the increase in subscription revenue as well as a change in
presentation from net to gross for revenues and costs associated with certain of our payment processing services effective
October 2013.
Income from operations for 2013 increased by $32.1 million or 165% when compared to 2012. The increase in income from
operations was primarily attributable to a reduction in costs from improved operational efficiencies realized as we integrated
Convio's operations and a reduction in acquisition related costs. Also contributing to the increase was the inclusion of Convio's
subscription-based offerings, which have historically yielded higher gross margins than our historical subscription-based
offerings and an increase in demand for our online fundraising offerings and our payment processing services, which have
historically yielded higher gross margins than our other offerings. These favorable impacts on income from operations were
partially offset by an increase in amortization of acquired intangibles.
At December 31, 2013, our cash and cash equivalents were $11.9 million and outstanding borrowings were $152.9 million.
During 2013, we generated $107.2 million in cash flow from operations, paid $22.1 million in dividends, used $20.1 million to
purchase computer equipment and software and reduced our debt balance by $62.6 million.
During 2013, we continued to experience growth in overall revenue primarily driven by the inclusion of Convio's product
offerings and the growing demand for our subscription-based offerings. We plan to further increase our focus on subscription-
based offerings as we execute on our key growth initiatives and strengthen our leadership position, while achieving our targeted
level of profitability. In the near term, we anticipate there will continue to be a dilutive impact on our profitability as we invest

Blackbaud, Inc.
Item 7. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (continued)
in our product portfolio to meet demand for our subscription offerings and shift from a perpetual license-based model, with
upfront revenue recognition, to a subscription-based model, with recognition of revenue occurring ratably over the subscription
term.
We also plan to continue investing in our product, sales and marketing organizations and our back-office processes, the
infrastructure that supports our subscription-based offerings and certain product development initiatives to achieve optimal
scalability of our operations as we execute on our key growth initiatives.
Results of operations
During 2013, 2012 and 2011, we acquired companies that provided us with strategic opportunities to expand our share of the
nonprofit market through the integration of complementary products and services to serve the changing needs of our customers.
The following are the companies we acquired and their respective acquisition date:
•
Public Interest Data, Inc., or PIDI – February 1, 2011;
• Everyday Hero Pty. Ltd., or EDH – October 6, 2011;
• Convio, Inc., or Convio – May 4, 2012; and
• MyCharity, Ltd. – March 6, 2013
We have included the results of operations of acquired companies in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income
from the date of their respective acquisition, which impacts the comparability of our results of operations when comparing 2013
to 2012 and 2012 to 2011. Because we have integrated a substantial amount of these operations, it is impracticable to determine
the operating costs attributable solely to the acquired businesses for 2013. We have noted in the discussion below, to the extent
meaningful, the impact on the comparability of our consolidated statements of comprehensive income due to the inclusion of
acquired companies.

The increases in revenue for ECBU and GMBU during 2013 when compared to 2012 were primarily attributable to growth in
subscriptions revenue as a result of the inclusion of Luminate Online, previously a Convio product, and an increase in the
volume of transactions for which we process payments. Also contributing to the growth in ECBU revenue were increases in
revenue from consulting services and our Blackbaud CRM hosting services. Also contributing to the growth in GMBU revenue
was the continued increase in demand for our online and hosted solutions as our business shifts towards subscription-based
offerings.
IBU revenue increased during 2013 when compared to 2012 primarily due to incremental subscriptions revenue. The growth in
IBU subscriptions revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in variable transaction revenue associated with the use of
our products to fundraise online. Also contributing to the increase in IBU subscriptions revenue was an increase in demand for
our online and hosted fundraising solutions including Everyday Hero, the Raiser's Edge and eTapestry.

Target Analytics revenue growth during 2013 when compared to 2012 was primarily the result of an increase in demand for our
prospect research offerings. Also contributing to the increase in Target Analytics revenue was growth in our performance
management and data enrichment portfolios, driven by improved sales execution.
Included in ECBU, GMBU and IBU revenue for 2013 is $3.3 million, $5.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively, attributable
to a prospective change in presentation from net to gross for revenue and costs associated with our payment processing services
as a result of certain third-party arrangements that had changes in contractual terms effective October 2013.

We derive license fees revenue from the sale of our software products under a perpetual license agreement.
During 2013, revenue from license fees decreased primarily as a result of smaller contributions of revenue from our Raiser's
Edge and Financial Edge offerings when compared to 2012. In addition, we continue to meet the demand of our emerging and
mid-sized customers that increasingly prefer subscription-based hosted applications instead of solutions offered under
traditional on-premise perpetual license arrangements. Also contributing to the decreases in revenue from license fees was a
prospective change in presentation from gross to net for revenue and costs associated with certain third-party software
arrangements that had changes in contractual terms effective January 2013. The net revenue attributable to these third-party
software arrangements has been included in "Other revenue" for 2013.
Cost of license fees is primarily comprised of third-party software royalties, variable reseller commissions, amortization of
software development costs and amortization of intangibles from business combinations. The decrease in cost of license fees
during 2013 when compared to 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in third-party software royalties resulting from a
prospective change in presentation from gross to net for revenue and costs associated with certain third-party software
arrangements that had changes in contractual terms effective January 2013.
The decrease in license fees gross margin during 2013 when compared to 2012 was primarily due to the decrease in license fees
revenue combined with more sales of products that have third-party software royalty costs associated with them.

Revenue from subscriptions is primarily comprised of revenue from charging for the use of our software products, which
includes providing access to hosted applications and hosting services, access to certain data services and our online subscription
training offerings, as well as revenue from variable transaction fees associated with the use of our products to fundraise online.
We continue to experience growth in sales of our hosted applications and hosting services as we meet the demand of our
emerging and mid-sized customers that increasingly prefer subscription-based offerings.
The increase in subscriptions revenue was primarily attributable to the inclusion of Convio for the full year in 2013 compared
to only eight months in 2012, and an increase in demand for our online fundraising offerings. Also contributing to the growth in
subscriptions revenue was an increase in the volume of transactions for which we process payments as well as an $8.5 million
increase attributable to a prospective change in presentation from net to gross for revenues and costs associated with certain of
our payment processing services effective October 2013.
Cost of subscriptions is primarily comprised of human resource costs, stock-based compensation expense, third-party royalty
and data expenses, hosting expenses, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, amortization of software
development costs, amortization of intangibles from business combinations and other costs incurred in providing support and
services to our customers. The increase in cost of subscriptions during 2013 when compared to 2012 was primarily attributable
to increases in amortization of intangibles from business combinations, hosting costs, human resource costs and allocated
depreciation, facilities and IT support costs. The increase also included $8.5 million of costs attributable to a prospective
change in presentation from net to gross for revenues and costs associated with certain of our payment processing services
effective October 2013.
Amortization of intangibles from business combinations increased by $6.6 million during 2013 when compared to 2012
primarily due to the acquisition of Convio and the inclusion of a full year of intangibles amortization in 2013 compared to only
eight months in 2012.
Hosting costs, human resource costs and allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs increased by $3.2 million, $3.1
million and $2.8 million, respectively, during 2013 when compared to 2012. These increases were primarily a result of the
inclusion of Convio and investments made to support anticipated growth in our subscription-based offerings.
Subscriptions gross margin decreased during 2013 when compared to 2012 primarily as a result of the cost increase from the
prospective change in presentation from net to gross revenues and costs as discussed above and non-cash amortization of
intangible assets purchased. Excluding the effect of the change in presentation, gross margin was relatively unchanged from
2012.

We derive services revenue from consulting, installation, implementation, education and analytic services. Consulting,
installation and implementation services involve converting data from a customer’s existing system, assistance in file set up and
system configuration, and/or process re-engineering. Education services involve customer training activities. Analytic services
are comprised of donor prospect research, sales of lists of potential donors, benchmarking studies and data modeling services.
These services involve the assessment of current and prospective donor information of the customer and are performed using
our proprietary analytical tools. The end product is intended to enable organizations to more effectively target their fundraising
activities. We typically recognize services revenue upon delivery. We also recognize certain direct and incremental costs
associated with consulting services revenue as that revenue is earned. We recognize revenue from upfront activation fees
ratably over the estimated period the customer benefits from those upfront services. We continue to expense indirect costs in the
period the services are provided.
The increase in services revenue during 2013 when compared to 2012 was attributable to increases in consulting, education and
analytic services revenue of $4.1 million, $1.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Consulting services revenue increased
primarily due to the inclusion of Convio for the full year in 2013 compared to only eight months in 2012. The volume of
education services revenue increased due to higher demand for our subscription-based training. Analytic services revenue
increased primarily due to an increase in demand for our prospect research offerings. Also contributing to the increase in
analytic services revenue was growth in our performance management and data enrichment portfolios, driven by improved sales
execution.
Cost of services is primarily comprised of human resource costs, stock-based compensation expense, third-party contractor
expenses, costs incurred in providing customer training, data expense incurred to perform analytic services, allocated
depreciation, facilities and IT support costs and amortization of intangibles from business combinations. The increase in cost of
services during 2013 when compared to 2012 was primarily attributable to increases in human resource costs, the recognition of
deferred implementation service costs and allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs. Human resource costs
increased $3.8 million primarily as a result of increases in accrued bonus costs, merit-based salary increases and employee
health care costs. Our recognition of implementation service costs increased $2.2 million during 2013 when compared to 2012
due to a decrease in the amount of costs that are being deferred in connection with our shift from traditional license and related
service arrangements to subscription offerings. Allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs increased $0.8 million due
to the inclusion of allocable costs from the Convio operations as well as investments we have made in our infrastructure to
make our operations more scalable.
Services gross margin decreased in 2013 when compared to 2012 primarily due to increases in human resource costs and
allocated costs outpacing the growth of services revenue. Also contributing to the decrease in services gross margin was the
inclusion of Convio's service offerings for a full year in 2013, which have historically yielded lower gross margins. Since our
acquisition of Convio in May 2012, we have made significant progress integrating operations and realizing gross margin
synergies from the combination. However, the impact on services gross margin is obscured by the inclusion of Convio
operating results for the full year in 2013 compared to only eight months in 2012.

Revenue from maintenance is comprised of annual fees derived from maintenance contracts associated with new software
licenses and annual renewals of existing maintenance contracts. These contracts provide customers with updates, enhancements
and upgrades to our software products and online, telephone and email support. Maintenance contracts are typically for a term
of one year, and maintenance renewal rates in the periods reported did not vary materially compared to prior periods.
The increase in maintenance revenue during 2013 when compared to 2012 was primarily comprised of (i) $10.9 million of
incremental maintenance from new customers associated with new license agreements and increases in contracts with existing
customers; and (ii) approximately $4.2 million of incremental maintenance from contract inflationary rate adjustments; partially
offset by (iii) a $8.4 million reduction in maintenance from contracts that were not renewed and reductions in contracts with
existing customers; and (iv) $3.3 million decrease in maintenance revenue attributable to a prospective change in presentation
from gross to net for revenue and costs associated with certain third-party software arrangements that had changes in
contractual terms effective January 2013. The net revenue attributable to these third-party software arrangements has been
included in "Other revenue" for 2013.
Cost of maintenance is primarily comprised of human resource costs, stock-based compensation expense, third-party contractor
expenses, third-party royalty costs, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, amortization of intangibles from
business combinations and other costs incurred in providing support and services to our customers. Cost of maintenance
decreased during 2013 when compared to 2012 primarily due to a decrease in proprietary software costs, partially offset by
increases in human resource costs and allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs. The decrease in proprietary
software costs was primarily attributable to a prospective change in presentation from gross to net for revenue and costs
associated with certain third-party software arrangements that had changes in contractual terms effective January 2013. The
increase in human resource costs was primarily due to merit-based salary increases and an increase in employee health care
costs.
Maintenance gross margin in 2013 remained relatively unchanged when compared 2012.

Other revenue includes reimbursement of travel-related expenses primarily incurred during the performance of services at
customer locations, third-party software referral fees, the sale of business forms that are used in conjunction with our software
products and fees from user conferences.
Other revenue increased during 2013 when compared to 2012 primarily due to a $1.5 million increase in third-party software
referral revenue upon the prospective change in presentation from gross to net for revenue and costs associated with certain
third-party software arrangements that had changes in contractual terms effective January 2013. During 2012, revenue from
these arrangements was recorded on a gross basis to license fees, subscription and maintenance. The increase in third-party

software referral fees during 2013 when compared to 2012 was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from reimbursement of
travel-related expenses associated with services revenue.
Cost of other revenue includes human resource costs, costs of business forms, costs of user conferences, reimbursable expenses
relating to the performance of services at customer locations, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs and
amortization of intangibles from business combinations. Cost of other revenue decreased during 2013 when compared to 2012
primarily due to fewer reimbursable expenses related to services provided at customer locations.
Other revenue gross margin increased in 2013 when compared to 2012 primarily due to an increase in third-party software

Sales and marketing expense includes human resource costs, stock-based compensation expense, travel-related expenses, sales
commissions, advertising and marketing materials, public relations costs and allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support
costs.
Sales and marketing expense increased during 2013 when compared to 2012 primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in sales
commissions, a $0.9 million increase in allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs and a $0.8 million increase in
human resource costs. The increase in sales commissions is primarily due to an increased amount of commissionable revenue
from 2012 to 2013. The increase in allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs resulted from both the inclusion of
allocable costs from the Convio operations as well as investments we have made in our infrastructure to make our operations
more scalable. The increase in human resource costs was primarily due to increases in employee health care costs and accrued
bonus costs, partially offset by a reduction in headcount in connection with the realignment of our workforce, which began in
January 2013.
Since the acquisition of Convio in May 2012, we have made significant progress integrating operations and realizing cost
synergies from the combination, which is reflected in the improvements in sales and marketing expense as a percentage of
revenue for 2012 to 2013.

We have made substantial investments in research and development and expect to continue to do so as a part of our strategy to
introduce additional products and services. Research and development expense includes human resource costs, stock-based
compensation expense, third-party contractor expenses, software development tools and certain other expenses related to
researching and developing new products, and allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs.
Research and development expense increased during 2013 when compared to 2012 primarily due to a $1.5 million increase in
human resource costs and a $1.7 million increase in allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, partially offset by a
$2.0 million increase in the amount of software development costs that were capitalized. Human resource costs increased
primarily due to the inclusion of additional headcount from Convio. The increase in allocated depreciation, facilities and IT

2014 as we continue to invest in product enhancement and new product innovation.

General and administrative expense consists primarily of human resource costs for general corporate functions including senior
management, finance, accounting, legal, human resources and corporate development, stock-based compensation expense,
third-party professional fees, insurance, allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs, acquisition-related expense and
other administrative expenses.
General and administrative expense decreased during 2013 when compared to 2012 primarily due to decreases in acquisition-
related costs and stock-based compensation as well as an increase in the amount of costs allocated out of general and
administrative expense including depreciation, IT support costs and certain facilities costs. These reductions in general and
administrative expense were partially offset by increases in facilities costs, human resource costs and costs associated with the
replacement of our CEO. Acquisition-related costs associated with our acquisition of Convio decreased $13.1 million during
2013 when compared to 2012. Stock-based compensation decreased $2.2 million during 2013 when compared to 2012
primarily due to the departure of employees in connection with the realignment of our workforce, which began in January 2013,
and the departure of certain executive officers, including our CEO during 2013. Business costs allocated out of general and
administrative expense increased $5.6 million during 2013 when compared to 2012 primarily due to the inclusion of Convio's
operations for the full year in 2013 compared to only eight months in 2012. Facilities costs increased by $3.9 million primarily
due to the inclusion of Convio's operations for the full year in 2013 compared to only eight months in 2012. Human resource
costs increased $3.3 million during 2013 when compared to 2012 primarily due to additional resources needed to support the
growth of our business. We also incurred $2.4 million of incremental costs during 2013 when compared to 2012 associated with
severance provided to our former CEO and search costs for our new CEO.
Non-GAAP financial measures
The operating results analyzed below are presented on a non-GAAP basis. We use non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP income
from operations and non-GAAP operating margin internally in analyzing our operational performance. Accordingly, we believe
these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational
performance. While we believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information, non-GAAP financial
measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with
GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of
other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies.

Non-GAAP financial measures discussed below exclude the impact of (i) the write-down of Convio's deferred revenue balance;
(ii) stock-based compensation expense; (iii) amortization of intangibles from business combinations; (iv) acquisition integration
costs; (v) restructuring costs; (vi) CEO severance costs; (vii) employee severance costs; (viii) acquisition-related expenses; (ix)
a write-off of proprietary software licenses; and (x) the impairment of a cost method investment, because we believe they are
not directly related to our operating performance in any particular period, but are for our long-term benefit over multiple
periods. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our ongoing business in a manner that allows for
meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in our business.

The increase in non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP operating margin during 2013 when compared to 2012 was
primarily due to (i) the inclusion of Convio's subscription-based offerings which have historically yielded higher gross margins
than our historical subscription-based offerings; (ii) an increase in demand for our online fundraising offerings and our payment
processing services, which have also historically yielded higher gross margins than our other offerings; and (iii) cost synergies
realized from our improved operational efficiencies as we integrated the Convio operations.
Restructuring
Restructuring costs consist primarily of severance and termination benefits associated with the realignment of our workforce in
response to changes in the nonprofit industry and global economy, as well as the move of our San Diego, California operations
to our Austin, Texas location. We incurred $3.2 million in before-tax restructuring charges related to the realignment of our
workforce during 2013. We incurred $0.3 million and $0.2 million in before-tax restructuring charges related to our San Diego
office transition during 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Interest expense
Interest expense remained relatively unchanged during 2013 when compared to 2012. Our interest expense is directly related to
the borrowings we incurred to fund our acquisition of Convio in May 2012.

To the extent that our customers are billed for our products and services in advance of delivery, we record such amounts in
deferred revenue. Deferred revenue attributable to maintenance and subscriptions increased during 2013 primarily as a result of
an increase in renewal billings. We generally invoice our maintenance and subscription customers in annual cycles. The
decrease in deferred revenue from services during 2013 was mostly due to a decrease in upfront billings on consulting
arrangements. The increase in deferred revenue from license fees and other was attributable to an increase in third-party
software referral fees attributable to a change in presentation from gross to net for revenue and costs associated with certain
third-party software arrangements that had changes in contractual terms effective January 2013.

When removing the impact of revenue from acquired companies, revenue increased by $21.9 million, or 6% in 2012. This
increase in revenue was primarily attributable to growth in our subscriptions revenue as a result of both an increase in demand
for an our online fundraising offerings as well as an increase in transaction fees associated with our payment processing
services. The increase in demand for our subscription offerings was primarily driven by the ongoing evolution of our product
offerings from a license-based to subscription-based model. Although we continued to experience a shift in our emerging (first-
time users) and mid-sized customers’ buying preference away from perpetual licenses towards hosted solutions, license revenue
increased in 2012 when compared to 2011 as a result of an increase in sales of our Blackbaud CRM offering to large and/or
strategic customers. The increase in maintenance revenue is attributable to maintaining high renewal rates, new maintenance
contracts associated with new license agreements and increases in contracts with existing customers during 2012 when
compared to 2011. Services revenue grew in 2012 principally as a result of increased demand for our education services.

Revenue from license fees increased in 2012 primarily due to a greater contribution of revenue from larger Blackbaud CRM
arrangements when compared to 2011.
The decrease in cost of license fees in 2012 when compared to 2011 was principally attributable to a decrease in third-party
software royalties. Third-party software royalties associated with our license-based products decreased as the demand for our
perpetual license arrangements decreased and subscription-based offerings increased.
The increase in license fees gross margin during 2012 was the result of fewer sales of products that have third party software
royalty costs associated with them. Additionally, the increase in revenue from Blackbaud CRM arrangements contributed to the
increase in license fees gross margin during 2012.

Included in subscriptions revenue for 2012 and 2011 was $45.6 million and $0.7 million of revenue attributable to acquired
companies, respectively. Excluding the revenue from acquired companies, the increase in subscriptions revenue of $13.7
million, or 13%, was principally attributable to an increase in demand for our online fundraising and data management offerings
as well as an increase in transaction fees associated with our payment processing services.
The increase in cost of subscriptions in 2012 was principally attributable to increases in hosting costs, human resource costs and
amortization of intangibles from business combinations.
Hosting costs increased by $8.3 million during 2012 as a result of incremental costs due to the inclusion of acquired companies.
Additionally, hosting costs increased due to incremental investments to improve our hosting services and additional hosting
capacity required as a result of the growth in demand for our hosted applications and other online services. Human resource
costs increased $6.6 million during 2012. The increase in human resource costs is attributable to additional headcount due to the
inclusion of acquired companies and additional resources needed to support the growth in demand for our subscription-based
offerings.
Amortization of intangibles from business combinations increased $8.6 million in 2012 primarily due to the amortization
expense for the acquired Convio intangible assets.
The decrease in subscriptions gross margin during 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to investments we made in our
infrastructure, including additional headcount, expanded facilities, improved operational processes and computer equipment to
support the growth in our subscription offerings.

Included in services revenue in 2012 and 2011 is $9.8 million and $0.1 million of revenue attributable to acquired companies,
respectively. Excluding the revenue from acquired companies, the increase in services revenue of $1.1 million, or 1%, is
principally due to an increase in education services revenue of $1.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in analytic services
revenue of $0.6 million. The rates we charged for our education service offerings remained relatively constant year over year
and, as such, the increase in revenue was the result of a change in volume. The increase in revenue from education services was
the result of higher demand for subscription-based training. Consulting services revenue remained relatively unchanged in 2012
compared to 2011 primarily due to a greater portion of our service engagements being with larger enterprise customers as our
mid-market moves to subscription-based offerings. These larger enterprise engagements can experience volatility in utilization
due to the complex nature of these engagements.
The increase in cost of services in 2012 is primarily attributable to an increase in human resource costs. Human resource costs
increased $12.7 million in 2012 as a result of an increase in headcount. The increase in headcount was attributable to the
inclusion of additional resources from acquired companies.
An increase in allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs also contributed to the increase in cost of services in 2012
when compared to 2011 due to the inclusion of allocable costs from the Convio operations.
The services gross margin decreased in 2012 primarily as a result of the increases in headcount and allocated costs discussed
above.

The increase in maintenance revenue in 2012 compared to 2011 was principally comprised of (i) $12.7 million of maintenance
from new customers associated with new license agreements and increases in contracts with existing customers and
(ii) $4.1 million from maintenance contract inflationary rate adjustments, partially offset by (iii) $11.3 million from
maintenance contracts that were not renewed and reductions in contracts with existing customers.
Cost of maintenance increased during 2012 when compared to 2011 primarily as a result of increases in allocated costs and
proprietary software costs. The increase in proprietary software costs was attributable to increases in maintenance contracts
with existing customers for software products which include third-party royalty costs associated with the maintenance revenue.
Maintenance gross margin in 2012 remained relatively unchanged when compared to 2011.

General and administrative expense increased during 2012 primarily due to increases in acquisition transaction costs,
acquisition integration and restructuring costs, acquisition-related stock-based compensation, professional fees and human
resource costs. The increase in costs associated with our acquisition of Convio including transaction costs, acquisition
integration and restructuring costs and stock-based compensation expense was $13.2 million during 2012. Professional fees
increased $4.3 million during 2012 compared to 2011, primarily due to strategic investments we are making in our business
optimization efforts and the re-engineering of our accounting processes. The remaining increase was primarily attributable to an
increase in human resource costs from additional headcount to support our growing operations and increased skills and
competencies of our support resources.
Non-GAAP income from operations
Non-GAAP financial measures discussed below exclude the impact of (i) the write-down of Convio's deferred revenue balance;
(ii) stock-based compensation expense; (iii) amortization expense; (iv) acquisition-related expenses; (v) acquisition integration
and restructuring costs; (vi) a write-off of proprietary software licenses; (vii) an impairment of cost method investment; and
(viii) a gain on sale of assets, because we believe they are not directly related to our operating performance in any particular
period, but are for our long-term benefit over multiple periods. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our
ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in our business.

The decrease in non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP operating margin during 2012 was principally due to: (i)
the continued shift from a license-based model with upfront revenue recognition to a subscription-based model, which
recognizes revenue ratably over the agreement term; (ii) incremental investments we made in our product development efforts
and to improve the performance of our hosting services; and (iii) strategic investments we made in our business optimization
efforts and the re-engineering of our accounting processes. Contributing to the decrease in 2012 is the growth of cost of services
exceeding the growth of our services revenue.

Interest expense
Interest expense increased $5.7 million during 2012 when compared to 2011. This increase in interest expense is directly related
to the borrowings we incurred to fund our acquisition of Convio in May 2012.
Income tax provision
The following is our effective tax rate for the years ended December 31:
Effective tax rate
2013
32.8%
2012
50.6%
2011
35.2%
The decrease in the effective tax rate during 2013 when compared to 2012 was primarily due to an increase in the benefit from
research and development credits and a decrease in nondeductible acquisition costs, partially offset by an increase in
nondeductible compensation of certain executive officers and an increase in pretax income. The research and development
credits were reinstated in January 2013 with retrospective application to the 2012 tax year. The provision for income taxes
differs from the tax computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35.0% due primarily to research and development
tax credits, which were partially offset by foreign loss jurisdictions where we have determined a valuation allowance is
appropriate, as well as state taxes. Our effective income tax rate may fluctuate quarterly as a result of factors, including
transactions entered into, changes in the geographic distribution of our earnings or losses, our assessment of certain tax
contingencies, valuation allowances, and changes in tax law in jurisdictions where we conduct business.
The effective rate in 2012 increased when compared to 2011 primarily due to a decrease in pretax income, reduction in federal
research and development credits and nondeductible transaction costs associated with the Convio acquisition.
We have deferred tax assets for federal, state, and international net operating loss carryforwards and state tax credits. The
federal and state net operating loss carryforwards are subject to various Internal Revenue Code limitations and applicable state
tax laws. The foreign net operating loss carryforwards, a portion of the state net operating loss carryforwards and a portion of
state tax credits have a valuation reserve due to the uncertainty of realizing such carryforwards and credits in the future.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. for federal and various state jurisdictions as well as in foreign jurisdictions including
Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands and Ireland. We are generally subject to U.S. federal income tax
examination for calendar tax years ending 2010 through 2013 as well as state and foreign income tax examinations for various
years depending on statute of limitations of those jurisdictions.
We have taken federal and state tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax
benefits may decrease within the next twelve months. The possible decrease could result from the expiration of statutes of
limitations. The reasonably possible decrease approximates $1.3 million at December 31, 2013, which would favorably affect
the effective tax rate.
Seasonality
Our revenues normally fluctuate as a result of certain seasonal variations in our business. Our revenue from professional
services is typically lower in the first quarter when many of those services commence and in the fourth quarter due to the
holiday season. In addition, our revenue from transaction fees is typically at its lowest in the first quarter due to the timing of
customer fundraising initiatives and events. As a result of these and other factors, our total revenue is lower in the first quarter
than in the remainder of our fiscal year, with the third and fourth quarters historically achieving the highest total revenues. Our
expenses, however, do not vary significantly as a result of these factors, but do fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to varying
timing of expenditures. Our cash flow from operations normally fluctuates quarterly due to the combination of the timing of
customer contract renewals, delivery of professional services and occurrence of customer events as well as the payment of
bonuses, among other factors. Historically, due to lower revenues in our first quarter, combined with the payment of bonuses
from the prior year in our first quarter, our cash flow from operations is lowest in our first quarter, and due to the timing of
client budget cycles, our cash flow from operations is lower in our second quarter as compared to our third and fourth quarters.
In addition, deferred revenues can vary on a seasonal basis for the same reasons. This pattern may change, however, as a result
of acquisitions, new market opportunities, new product introductions or other factors.

Liquidity and capital resources
At December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $11.9 million, compared to $13.5 million at December 31, 2012. The
decrease in cash and cash equivalents during 2013 was principally attributable to cash generated from operations of $107.2
million, offset by a net reduction in debt of $62.6 million, payment of dividends of $22.1 million, the purchase of computer
software and equipment of $20.1 million and software development costs that were capitalized of $3.2 million.
Our principal sources of liquidity are operating cash flow, funds available under our credit facility and cash on hand. Our
operating cash flow depends on continued customer renewal of our maintenance, support and subscription agreements and
market acceptance of our products and services. 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, meet our debt obligations and pay dividends. Dividend
payments are not guaranteed and our Board of Directors may decide, in its absolute discretion, at any time and for any reason,
not to declare or pay further dividends and/or repurchase our common stock.
We have drawn on our credit facility from time to time to help us meet financial needs, such as business acquisitions and
payments to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations that arose on the vesting of restricted stock awards and our related
acquisition of treasury stock. At December 31, 2013, our available borrowing capacity under our credit facility was $152.2
million. We believe our credit facility will provide us with sufficient flexibility to meet our future financial needs. The credit
facility matures in February 2017.
At December 31, 2013, the carrying amounts of our total current liabilities exceeded the carrying amounts of our total current
assets primarily due to the use of cash provided by operating activities for investing and financing activities, including
incremental payments made on outstanding borrowings.
At December 31, 2013, we had $152.9 million of outstanding borrowings under our credit facility. Our average daily
borrowings were $187.3 million during 2013.
Following is a summary of the financial covenants as defined by credit facility:

$16.9 million
Under our credit facility, we also have restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends and our ability to repurchase
shares of our common stock. In order to pay any cash dividends and/or repurchase shares of stock: (1) no default or event of
default shall have occurred and be continuing under the credit facility, and (2) we must be in compliance with the leverage ratio
set forth in the credit agreement. At December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under our credit
facility.
At December 31, 2013, our total cash and cash equivalents balance includes approximately $5.9 million of cash that was held
by operations outside the U.S. While these funds may not be needed to fund our U.S. operations for at least the next 12 months,
if we need these funds, we may be required to accrue and pay taxes to repatriate the funds. Our current plans anticipate
repatriating undistributed earnings in Canada. We currently do not intend nor anticipate a need to repatriate our other cash held
outside the U.S.
Operating cash flow
Net cash provided by operating activities of $107.2 million increased by $38.6 million during 2013 when compared to the prior
year, primarily due to an increase in earnings as adjusted for non-cash transactions. Throughout both 2013 and 2012, our cash
flows from operations were derived principally from: (i) our earnings from on-going operations prior to non-cash expenses
such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation and adjustments to our provision for sales returns and
allowances; (ii) the tax benefit associated with our deferred tax asset, which reduces our cash outlay for income tax expense;
and (iii) changes in our working capital.
47
Blackbaud, Inc.
Item 7. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (continued)
Working capital changes as they impact the statement of cash flows are composed of changes in accounts receivable, prepaid
expenses and other assets, trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and deferred revenue. Cash flow from
operations associated with working capital increased $2.6 million in 2013 when compared to 2012. The net increase was
primarily due to a decrease in our days sales outstanding that resulted in more cash collections on accounts receivable during
2013 when compared to 2012. The increase was partially offset by an increase in cash paid for employee bonuses due to a
change in the timing of these payments.
Investing cash flow
During 2012, we used approximately $280.7 million for the acquisition of Convio. Outside of this acquisition, cash used in
investing activities was relatively unchanged year over year. During 2013, we spent $20.1 million on computer equipment and
software associated with the infrastructure that supports our subscription-based offerings compared to $20.6 million during
2012. The decrease in cash used for property and equipment was offset in 2013 by a $2.0 million increase in capitalized
software development costs from investments in our subscription-based offerings.
Financing cash flow
During 2013, we had a net reduction in debt of $62.6 million primarily from payments made on outstanding borrowings
compared to a net increase in debt of $215.5 million, used to fund the acquisition of Convio during 2012. Payment of deferred
financing costs increased $1.7 million during 2012 when compared to 2011 as a result of our amended and restated credit
facility. Also during 2013, we paid dividends of $22.1 million, which was relatively consistent with the amounts paid in 2012
and 2011.

Our commitments related to operating leases have not been reduced by the future minimum lease commitments under
sublease agreements, incentive payments or the reimbursement of leasehold improvements.
Included in the table above is $8.3 million of interest. The actual interest expense recognized in our consolidated
statements of comprehensive income will depend on the amount of debt, the length of time the debt is outstanding and
the interest rate, which could be different from our assumptions used in the above table.
We utilize third-party technology in conjunction with our products and services, with contractual arrangements
varying in length from one to three years. In certain cases, these arrangements require a minimum annual purchase
commitment by us.
The term loans under our credit facility require periodic principal payments. The balance of the term loans and any amounts
drawn on the revolving credit loans are due upon maturity of the credit facility in February 2017.
The total liability for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, was $3.7 million and $3.8 million,
respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we have accrued interest and penalties related to tax positions taken on our
tax returns of $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
In February 2014, our Board of Directors approved our annual dividend rate of $0.48 per share for 2014. Dividends at the
annual rate would aggregate to $22.6 million assuming 47.0 million shares of common stock are outstanding, although
dividends are not guaranteed and our Board of Directors may decide to change or suspend dividend payments at any time for
any reason. Our ability to continue to declare and pay dividends quarterly this year and beyond might be restricted by, among

other things, the terms of our credit facility, general economic conditions and our ability to generate adequate operating cash
flow.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
As of December 31, 2013, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-
K promulgated by the SEC, that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources that is material to investors.
Foreign currency exchange rates
Approximately 13% of our total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 was derived from operations outside the
United States. We do not have significant operations in countries in which the economy is considered to be highly inflationary.
Our consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars and, accordingly, changes in the exchange rate between
foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar will affect the translation of our subsidiaries’ financial results into U.S. dollars for
purposes of reporting our consolidated financial results. The accumulated currency translation adjustment, recorded within
other comprehensive loss as a component of stockholders’ equity, was a loss of $1.1 million and $1.2 million at December 31,
2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
The vast majority of our contracts are entered into by our U.S., Canadian or U.K. entities. The contracts entered into by the U.S.
entity are almost always denominated in U.S. dollars, contracts entered into by our Canadian subsidiary are generally
denominated in Canadian dollars and contracts entered into by our U.K., Australian, Irish and the Netherlands subsidiaries are
generally denominated in pounds sterling, Australian dollars, Euros and Euros, respectively. Historically, as the U.S. dollar
weakened, foreign currency translation resulted in an increase in our revenues and expenses denominated in non-U.S.
currencies. Conversely, as the U.S. dollar strengthened, foreign currency translation resulted in a decrease in our revenue and
expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. During 2013, foreign translation resulted in a decrease in our revenues and
expenses denominated in non-U.S. currencies. Though we do not believe our exposure to currency exchange rates has had a
material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position, we intend to continue to monitor such exposure
and take action as appropriate.
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our
costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through
price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Critical accounting policies and estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we
reconsider and evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those that impact revenue recognition, long-lived and
intangible assets and goodwill, stock-based compensation, the provision for income taxes, capitalization of software
development costs, our allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts, deferred sales commissions, accounting for business
combinations and loss contingencies.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from any of our estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. We believe the critical accounting policies listed below affect significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Item 7. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (continued)
Revenue recognition
Our revenue is primarily generated from the following sources: (i) charging for the use of our software products in a hosted
environment; (ii) selling perpetual licenses of our software products; (iii) providing professional services including
implementation, training, consulting, analytic, hosting and other services; and (iv) providing software maintenance and support
services.
We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are met:
•
•
•
•
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
The product or services have been delivered;
The fee is fixed or determinable; and
Collection of the resulting receivable is probable.
Determining whether and when these criteria have been met can require significant judgment and estimates. We deem
acceptance of an agreement to be evidence of an arrangement. Delivery of our services occurs when the services have been
performed. Delivery of our products occurs when the product is shipped or transmitted, and title and risk of loss have
transferred to the customers. Our typical agreements do not include customer acceptance provisions; however, if acceptance
provisions are provided, delivery is deemed to occur upon acceptance. We consider the fee to be fixed or determinable unless
the fee is subject to refund or adjustment or is not payable within our standard payment terms. Payment terms greater than 90
days are considered to be beyond our customary payment terms. Collection is deemed probable if we expect that the customer
will be able to pay amounts under the arrangement as they become due. If we determine that collection is not probable, we
defer revenue recognition until collection. Revenue is recognized net of sales returns and allowances.
We follow guidance provided in ASC 605-45, Principal Agent Considerations, which states that determining whether a
company should recognize revenue based on the gross amount billed to a customer or the net amount retained is a matter of
judgment that depends on the facts and circumstances of the arrangement and that certain factors should be considered in the
evaluation.
Subscriptions
We provide hosting services to customers who have purchased perpetual rights to certain of our software products (hosting
services). Revenue from hosting services, as well as data enrichment services, data management services and online training
programs, is recognized ratably beginning on the activation date over the term of the agreement, which generally ranges from
one to three years. Any related set-up fees are recognized ratably over the estimated period that the customer benefits from the
related hosting service. The estimated period of benefit is evaluated on an annual basis using historical customer retention
information by product or service.
We make certain of our software products available for use in hosted application arrangements without licensing perpetual
rights to the software (hosted applications). Revenue from hosted applications is recognized ratably beginning on the activation
date over the term of the agreement, which generally ranges from one to three years. Any revenue related to upfront activation,
set-up or implementation fees is recognized ratably over the estimated period that the customer benefits from the related hosted
application. Direct and incremental costs relating to activation, set-up and implementation for hosted applications are
capitalized until the hosted application is deployed and in use, and then expensed over the estimated period that the customer
benefits from the related hosted application.
For arrangements that have multiple elements and do not include software licenses, we allocate arrangement consideration at
the inception of the arrangement to those elements that qualify as separate units of accounting. The arrangement consideration
is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on relative selling price method in accordance with the selling price
hierarchy, which includes: (i) vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available; (ii) third-party evidence (TPE) if VSOE
is not available; and (iii) best estimate of selling price (BESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. In general, we use VSOE
to allocate the selling price to subscription and service deliverables.
We offer certain payment processing services with the assistance of third-party vendors. When we are the primary obligor in a
transaction, have latitude in establishing prices and are the party determining the service specifications or have several but not

all of these indicators, we record the revenue on a gross basis. Otherwise, we record revenue associated with the related
subscribers on a net basis, netting the cost of revenue associated with the service against the gross amount billed the customer
and record the net amount as revenue.
Revenue from transaction processing fees is recognized when the service is provided and the amounts are determinable.
Revenue directly associated with processing donations for customers are included in subscriptions revenue.
License fees
We sell software licenses with maintenance, varying levels of professional services and, in certain instances, with hosting
services. We allocate revenue to each of the elements in these arrangements using the residual method under which we first
allocate revenue to the undelivered elements, typically the non-software license components, based on objective evidence of the
fair value of the various elements. We determine the fair value of the various elements using different methods. Fair value for
maintenance services associated with software licenses is based upon renewal rates stated in the agreements with customers,
which demonstrate a consistent relationship of maintenance pricing as a percentage of the contractual license fee. Fair value of
professional services and other products and services is based on the average selling price of these same products and services
to other customers when sold on a stand-alone basis. Any remaining revenue is allocated to the delivered elements which is
normally the software license in the arrangement.
When a software license is sold with software customization services, generally the services are to provide customer support for
assistance in creating special reports and other enhancements that will assist with efforts to improve operational efficiency and/
or to support business process improvements. These services are generally not essential to the functionality of the software.
However, when software customization services are considered essential to the functionality of the software, we recognize
revenue for both the software license and the services using the percentage-of-completion method.
Services
We generally bill consulting, installation and implementation services based on hourly rates plus reimbursable travel-related
expenses. Revenue is recognized for these services over the period the services are performed.
We recognize analytic services revenue from donor prospect research engagements, the sale of lists of potential donors,
benchmarking studies and data modeling service engagements upon delivery. In arrangements where we provide customers the
right to updates to the lists during the contract period, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period.
We sell training at a fixed rate for each specific class at a per attendee price or at a packaged price for several attendees, and
recognize the related revenue upon the customer attending and completing training. Additionally, we sell fixed-rate programs,
which permit customers to attend unlimited training over a specified contract period, typically one year, subject to certain
restrictions, and revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period.
Maintenance
We recognize revenue from maintenance services ratably over the contract term, typically one year. Maintenance contracts are
at rates that vary according to the level of the maintenance program and are generally renewable annually. Maintenance
contracts also include the right to unspecified product upgrades on an if-and-when available basis. Certain support services are
sold in prepaid units of time and recognized as revenue upon their usage.
Deferred revenue
To the extent that our customers are billed for the above-described services in advance of delivery, we record such amounts in
deferred revenue.
Valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill
We review identifiable intangible and other long-lived assets for impairment when events change or circumstances indicate the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. Events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount may not be
recoverable include, but are not limited to, a significant decrease in the market value of the business or asset acquired, a
significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which the business or asset acquired is used or significant adverse change
51
Blackbaud, Inc.
Item 7. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (continued)
in the business climate. If such events or changes in circumstances occur, we use the undiscounted cash flow method to
determine whether the asset is impaired. Cash flows would include the estimated terminal value of the asset and exclude any
interest charges. To the extent that the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows over the estimated
remaining life of the asset, we measure the impairment using discounted cash flows. The discount rate utilized would be based
on our best estimate of our risks and required investment returns at the time the impairment assessment is made.
Goodwill is assigned to our five reporting units, which are defined as our four operating segments (see Note 16 to our
consolidated financial statements) and our payment processing operations. We test goodwill for impairment annually, or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We first assess qualitative factors to
determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Significant
judgment is required in the assessment of qualitative factors including but not limited to an evaluation of macroeconomic
conditions as they relate to our business, industry and market trends, as well as the overall future financial performance of our
reporting units and future opportunities in the markets in which they operate. To the extent the qualitative factors indicate that
the fair value is likely less than the carrying amount, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount.
We estimate fair value for each reporting unit based on projected future cash flows discounted using our weighted average cost
of capital. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in estimating the fair value of each reporting unit,
including revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital spending, discount rate, and working capital changes. Additionally,
we make certain judgments and assumptions in allocating assets and liabilities to determine the carrying values for each of our
reporting units. We believe the assumptions we use in estimating fair value of our reporting units are reasonable, but are also
unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from those estimates.
If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, impairment is indicated. If an impairment is indicated, the impairment is measured
as the excess of the recorded goodwill over its fair value, which could materially adversely impact our consolidated financial
position and results of operations. The 2013 annual impairment test of our goodwill indicated there was no impairment.
Stock-based compensation
We measure stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognize it as expense
over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. We determine the fair value of stock options and stock
appreciation rights using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires us to use significant judgment to make
estimates regarding the life of the award, volatility of our stock price, the risk-free interest rate and the dividend yield of our
stock over the life of the award. We determine the fair value of awards that contain market conditions using a Monte Carlo
simulation model. Changes to these estimates would result in different fair values of awards.
We estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited and recognize expense only for those awards that we expect will
ultimately vest. Significant judgment is required in determining the adjustment to compensation expense for estimated
forfeitures. Compensation expense in a period could be impacted, favorably or unfavorably, by differences between estimated
and actual forfeitures.
Income taxes
We make estimates and judgments in accounting for income taxes. The calculation of income tax provision requires estimates
due to transactions, credits and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Uncertainties arise as a
consequence of the actual source of taxable income between domestic and foreign locations, the outcome of tax audits and the
ultimate utilization of tax credits. To the extent actual results differ from estimated amounts recorded, such differences will
impact the income tax provision in the period in which the determination is made.
We make estimates in determining tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue
and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized. In assessing the adequacy of a recorded valuation allowance significant judgment is required.
We consider all positive and negative evidence and a variety of factors including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax
liabilities, historical and projected future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. If we determine there
is less than a 50% likelihood that we will be able to use a deferred tax asset in the future in excess of its net carrying value, then
an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance is made to reduce income tax expense, thereby increasing net
income in the period such determination was made.
52
Blackbaud, Inc.
Item 7. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (continued)
We measure and recognize uncertain tax positions. To recognize such positions we must first determine if it is more likely than
not that the position will be sustained on audit. We must then measure the benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50%
likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Significant judgment is required in the identification and measurement of
uncertain tax positions.
Software Development Costs
We incur certain costs associated with the development of internal-use software and software developed related to our cloud-
based solutions, which are accounted for as internal-use software. The costs incurred in the preliminary stages of internal-use
software development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external
costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.
Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. We also capitalize costs related to specific upgrades and
enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized costs for internal-use
software are recorded as part of computer software costs within property and equipment. Capitalized costs for software
developed for our cloud-based solutions are recorded to other assets. Internal-use software is amortized on a straight line basis
over its estimated useful life, which is generally three years.
Although our development efforts are primarily focused on our cloud-based solutions, we also incur cost in connection with the
development of certain of our software products licensed to customers on a perpetual basis, which are accounted for as costs of
software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed. Costs for the development of software to be sold are expensed as incurred
until technological feasibility has been established, at which time such costs are capitalized until the product is available for
general release to customers. Capitalized software development costs include direct labor costs and fringe benefit costs
attributed to programmers, software engineers and quality control teams working on products after they reach technological
feasibility but before they are generally available to customers for sale. Capitalized software development costs are typically
amortized over the estimated product life on a straight-line basis, which is generally three years.
Sales returns and allowance for doubtful accounts
We maintain a reserve for returns and credits which is estimated based on several factors including historical experience, known
credits yet to be issued, the aging of customer accounts and the nature of service level commitments. A considerable amount of
judgment is required in assessing these factors. Provisions for sales returns are charged against the related revenue items.
Accounts receivable are recorded at original invoice amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts, an amount we estimate to
be sufficient to provide adequate protection against losses resulting from extending credit to our customers. In judging the
adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider multiple factors including historical bad debt experience, the
general economic environment, the need for specific customer reserves and the aging of our receivables. A considerable amount
of judgment is required in assessing these factors and if any receivables were to deteriorate, an additional provision for doubtful
accounts could be required. Accounts are written off after all means of collection are exhausted and recovery is considered
remote. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded in general and administrative expense.
Deferred sales commissions
We pay sales commissions at the time contracts with customers are signed or shortly thereafter, depending on the size and
duration of the sales contract. To the extent that these commissions relate to revenue not yet recognized, the amounts are
recorded as deferred sales commission costs. Subsequently, the commissions are recognized as expense as the revenue is
recognized.
Business combinations
We are required to allocate the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed at the acquisition date based upon their estimated fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date represents
the excess of the purchase consideration of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This allocation and valuation require management to make significant estimates and
assumptions, especially with respect to long-lived and intangible assets.
Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, estimates about: future expected cash flows from
customer contracts, proprietary technology and non-compete agreements; the acquired company's brand awareness and market
position, assumptions about the period of time the brand will continue to be valuable; as well as expected costs to develop the
53
Blackbaud, Inc.
Item 7. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (continued)
in-process research and development into commercially viable products and estimated cash flows from the projects when
completed, and discount rates. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but which
are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and
circumstances may occur.
Contingencies
We are subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies in the normal course of business. We record an accrual for a
contingency when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
Often these issues are subject to substantial uncertainties and, therefore, the probability of loss and the estimation of damages
are difficult to ascertain. These assessments can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily
on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by us. Although we believe we have substantial defenses in
these matters, we could incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows in any particular period.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2013, we adopted ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified
Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires that entities provide information about the amounts
reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, entities are required to present, either
on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated
other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under
GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under
GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, entities are required to cross-reference to other disclosures required
under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact
on our consolidated financial statements. We have presented the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive
income by component in Note 10 and Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2013, we adopted ASU 2012-02, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Indefinite-Lived
Intangible Assets for Impairment, which simplifies how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU
2012-02 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-
lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test
currently required by ASC Topic 350-30 on general intangibles other than goodwill. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 did not have
a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a
Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. Under ASU 2013-11, an
unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a
reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except
as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the
reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the
disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does
not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial
statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years and
interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. We do not anticipate any
material impact from the adoption of ASU 2013-11.
Item 7A. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
We have market rate sensitivity for interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest rate risk
Our variable rate debt is our primary financial instrument with market risk exposure for changing interest rates. We manage
interest rate risk through a combination of short-term and long-term borrowings and the use of derivative instruments entered
54
into for hedging purposes. Due to the nature of our debt, the materiality of the fair values of the derivative instruments and the
highly liquid, short-term nature and level of our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2013, we believe there is no
material risk of exposure to changing interest rates for those positions. There were no significant changes in how we manage
interest rate risk between December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013.
Foreign currency risk
For a discussion of our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, see “Management’s discussion and analysis of
financial conditions and results of operations — Foreign currency exchange rates” in this report.

9A. Controls and procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) are designed only to provide reasonable
assurance that they will meet their objectives. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) pursuant to Exchange Act
Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide the reasonable assurance discussed above.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
No change in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter with respect to our
operations, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined
in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only
in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on
the financial statements.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2013, based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (1992 framework). Based on this evaluation under the
Internal Control - Integrated Framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective
as of December 31, 2013.
Attestation report of registered public accounting firm
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, has been audited by our independent
registered public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report, which is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Blackbaud, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive
income, statements of cash flows and statements of stockholders' equity present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Blackbaud, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in the 1992 Internal
Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial
statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our
audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to consolidated financial statements
1. Organization
We provide cloud-based and on-premise software solutions and related services designed specifically for nonprofit
organizations. Our products and services enable nonprofit organizations to increase donations, reduce fundraising costs,
improve communications with constituents, manage their finances and optimize internal operations. As of December 31, 2013,
we had more than 29,000 active customers distributed across multiple verticals within the nonprofit market including
education, foundations, health and human services, religion, arts and cultural, public and societal benefits, environment and
animal welfare as well as international foreign affairs.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (GAAP). In order to provide comparability between periods presented, amortization of software development
costs and amortization of deferred financing costs have been broken out separately from other non-cash adjustments in the
previously reported consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to the consolidated statement of cash flow presentation of
the current period. After this change in presentation, amounts related to the amortization of software development costs are
included in depreciation and amortization and amounts related to the amortization of deferred financing costs are presented
separately within cash flows from operating activities. Similarly, restructuring costs have been broken out separately from
general and administrative expense in the previously reported consolidated statements of comprehensive income to conform to
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income presentation of the current period. After this change in presentation,
restructuring costs are presented separately within operating expenses.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Blackbaud, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions.
These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods. On an ongoing basis, we reconsider and evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those that impact revenue
recognition, long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill, stock-based compensation, the provision for income taxes,
capitalization of software development costs, our allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts, deferred sales commissions
and professional services costs, valuation of derivative instruments, accounting for business combinations and loss
contingencies. Changes in the facts or circumstances underlying these estimates could result in material changes and actual
results could materially differ from these estimates.
Revenue recognition
Our revenue is primarily generated from the following sources: (i) charging for the use of our software products in a hosted
environment; (ii) selling perpetual licenses of our software products; (iii) providing professional services including
implementation, training, consulting, analytic, hosting and other services; and (iv) providing software maintenance and support
services.
We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are met:
•
•
•
•
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
The products or services have been delivered;
The fee is fixed or determinable; and
Collection of the resulting receivable is probable.
F-7
Blackbaud, Inc.
Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued)
Determining whether and when these criteria have been met can require significant judgment and estimates. We deem
acceptance of an agreement to be evidence of an arrangement. Delivery of our services occurs when the services have been
performed. Delivery of our products occurs when the product is shipped or transmitted, and title and risk of loss have
transferred to the customers. Our typical agreements do not include customer acceptance provisions; however, if acceptance
provisions are provided, delivery is deemed to occur upon acceptance. We consider the fee to be fixed or determinable unless
the fee is subject to refund or adjustment or is not payable within our standard payment terms. Payment terms greater than 90
days are considered to be beyond our customary payment terms. Collection is deemed probable if we expect that the customer
will be able to pay amounts under the arrangement as they become due. If we determine that collection is not probable, we
defer revenue recognition until collection. Revenue is recognized net of sales returns and allowances.
We follow guidance provided in ASC 605-45, Principal Agent Considerations, which states that determining whether a
company should recognize revenue based on the gross amount billed to a customer or the net amount retained is a matter of
judgment that depends on the facts and circumstances of the arrangement and that certain factors should be considered in the
evaluation.
Subscriptions
We provide hosting services to customers who have purchased perpetual rights to certain of our software products (hosting
services). Revenue from hosting services, as well as data enrichment services, data management services and online training
programs, is recognized ratably beginning on the activation date over the term of the agreement, which generally ranges from
one to three years. Any related set-up fees are recognized ratably over the estimated period that the customer benefits from the
related hosting service. The estimated period of benefit is evaluated on an annual basis using historical customer retention
information by product or service.
We make certain of our software products available for use in hosted application arrangements without licensing perpetual
rights to the software (hosted applications). Revenue from hosted applications is recognized ratably beginning on the activation
date over the term of the agreement, which generally ranges from one to three years. Any revenue related to upfront activation,
set-up or implementation fees is recognized ratably over the estimated period that the customer benefits from the related hosted
application. Direct and incremental costs relating to activation, set-up and implementation for hosted applications are
capitalized until the hosted application is deployed and in use, and then expensed over the estimated period that the customer
benefits from the related hosted application.
For arrangements that have multiple elements and do not include software licenses, we allocate arrangement consideration at
the inception of the arrangement to those elements that qualify as separate units of accounting. The arrangement consideration
is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on relative selling price method in accordance with the selling price
hierarchy, which includes: (i) vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value if available; (ii) third-party evidence
(TPE) if VSOE is not available; and (iii) best estimate of selling price (BESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. In general,
we use VSOE to allocate the selling price to subscription and service deliverables.
We offer certain payment processing services with the assistance of third-party vendors. When we are the primary obligor in a
transaction, have latitude in establishing prices and are the party determining the service specifications or have several but not
all of these indicators, we record the revenue and cost on a gross basis. Otherwise, we record revenue associated with the
related subscribers on a net basis, netting the cost of revenue associated with the service against the gross amount billed the
customer and record the net amount as revenue.
Revenue from transaction processing services is recognized when the service is provided and the amounts are determinable.
Revenue directly associated with processing donations for customers are included in subscriptions revenue.
License fees
We sell perpetual software licenses with maintenance, varying levels of professional services and, in certain instances, with
hosting services. We allocate revenue to each of the elements in these arrangements using the residual method under which we
first allocate revenue to the undelivered elements, typically the non-software license components, based on VSOE of fair value
of the various elements. We determine VSOE of fair value of the various elements using different methods. VSOE of fair value
for maintenance services associated with software licenses is based upon renewal rates stated in the agreements with customers,
which demonstrate a consistent relationship of maintenance pricing as a percentage of the contractual license fee. VSOE of fair
value of professional services and other products and services is based on the average selling price of these same products and

Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued)
services to other customers when sold on a stand-alone basis. Any remaining revenue is allocated to the delivered elements
which is normally the software license in the arrangement.
When a software license is sold with software customization services, generally the services are to provide customer support for
assistance in creating special reports and other enhancements that will assist with efforts to improve operational efficiency and/
or to support business process improvements. These services are generally not essential to the functionality of the software.
However, when software customization services are considered essential to the functionality of the software, we recognize
revenue for both the software license and the services using the percentage-of-completion method.

We generally bill consulting, installation and implementation services based on hourly rates plus reimbursable travel-related
expenses. Revenue is recognized for these services over the period the services are performed.
We recognize analytic services revenue from donor prospect research engagements, the sale of lists of potential donors,
benchmarking studies and data modeling service engagements upon delivery. In arrangements where we provide customers the
right to updates to the lists during the contract period, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period.
We sell training at a fixed rate for each specific class at a per attendee price or at a packaged price for several attendees, and
recognize the related revenue upon the customer attending and completing training. Additionally, we sell fixed-rate programs,
which permit customers to attend unlimited training over a specified contract period, typically one year, subject to certain
restrictions, and revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period.
Maintenance
We recognize revenue from maintenance services ratably over the contract term, typically one year. Maintenance contracts are
at rates that vary according to the level of the maintenance program and are generally renewable annually. Maintenance
contracts may also include the right to unspecified product upgrades on an if-and-when available basis. Certain support services
are sold in prepaid units of time and recognized as revenue upon their usage.
Deferred revenue
To the extent that our customers are billed for the above-described services in advance of delivery, we record such amounts in
deferred revenue.
Fair value measurements
We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including derivative instruments. Fair value
is defined as the exchange price that would be received upon purchase of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy to measure
fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
• Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
• Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets
in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value
drivers are observable in active markets; and
• Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
Our financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety within the hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is
significant to fair value measurement. Changes to a financial assets' or liabilities' level within the fair value hierarchy are
determined as of the end of a reporting period. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value,
and such value may never actually be realized.

The fair value of our interest rate swaps was based on model-driven valuations using LIBOR rates, which are
observable at commonly quoted intervals. Accordingly, our interest rate swaps are classified within Level 2 of the fair
value hierarchy.
We believe the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, donor restricted cash, accounts receivable, trade accounts
payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and donations payable approximate their fair values at December 31,
2013 and 2012, due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these instruments.
Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include intangible assets, goodwill and
our credit facility. Intangible assets and goodwill are recognized at fair value in the period in which an acquisition is completed,
or when they are considered to be impaired. We believe the carrying amount of our credit facility approximates its fair value at
December 31, 2013 and 2012, as the debt bears interest rates that approximate market. As LIBOR rates are observable at
commonly quoted intervals, it is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no non-recurring fair value
adjustments recorded during the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.
Derivative instruments
We use derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk. We view derivative instruments as risk management tools and do not
use them for trading or speculative purposes. Our policy requires that derivatives used for hedging purposes be designated and
effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in fair value of the
derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the
hedge and over the life of the hedge contract.
We record all derivative instruments on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair
value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized
currently in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of the changes in fair value of
the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the timing of
the earnings impact of the hedged transactions. Ineffective portions of the changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are
recognized currently in earnings. See Note 10 for further discussion of our derivative instruments.
Reimbursable travel expense
We expense reimbursable travel costs as incurred and include them in cost of other revenue. The reimbursement of these costs
by our customers is included in other revenue.
Sales taxes
We present sales taxes and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis and, as
such, exclude them from revenues.
F-10
Blackbaud, Inc.
Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued)
Shipping and handling
We expense shipping and handling costs as incurred and include them in cost of other revenue. The reimbursement of these
costs by our customers is included in other revenue.
Cash and cash equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Donor restricted cash and donations payable
Restricted cash consists of donations collected by us and payable to our customers, net of the associated transaction fees earned.
Monies associated with donations payable are segregated in a separate bank account and used exclusively for the payment of
donations payable. This usage restriction is either legally or internally imposed and reflects our intention with regard to such
deposits.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, donor
restricted cash and accounts receivable. Our cash and cash equivalents and donor restricted cash are placed with high credit-
quality financial institutions. Our accounts receivable are derived from sales to customers who primarily operate in the
nonprofit sector. With respect to accounts receivable, we perform ongoing evaluations of our customers and maintain an
allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and our expectations of future losses. As of and for the years
ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, there were no significant concentrations with respect to our consolidated revenues
or accounts receivable.
Property and equipment
We record property and equipment at cost and depreciate them over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.
Property and equipment subject to capital leases are depreciated over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful
life of the asset. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed
from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as
incurred.
Construction-in-progress represents purchases of computer software and hardware associated with new internal system
implementation projects which had not been placed in service at the respective balance sheet dates. We transferred these assets
to the applicable property category on the date they are placed in service. There was no capitalized interest applicable to
construction-in-progress for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Business combinations
We are required to allocate the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed at the acquisition date based upon their estimated fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date represents
the excess of the purchase consideration of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This allocation and valuation require management to make significant estimates and
assumptions, especially with respect to long-lived and intangible assets.
Critical estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, estimates about: future expected cash flows from
customer contracts, proprietary technology and non-compete agreements; the acquired company's brand awareness and market
position, assumptions about the period of time the brand will continue to be valuable; as well as expected costs to develop the
in-process research and development into commercially viable products and estimated cash flows from the projects when
completed, and discount rates. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but which
are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and
circumstances may occur.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the net amount assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed by us in a
business combination. Goodwill is allocated to reporting units and tested annually for impairment. Our reporting units are our
F-11
Blackbaud, Inc.
Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued)
four reportable segments and our payment processing operations. We will also test goodwill for impairment between annual
impairment tests if indicators of potential impairment exist. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more
likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Significant judgment is required in the
assessment of qualitative factors including but not limited to an evaluation of macroeconomic conditions as they relate to our
business, industry and market trends, as well as the overall future financial performance of our reporting units and future
opportunities in the markets in which they operate. To the extent the qualitative factors indicate that there is more than 50%
likelihood that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying
amount. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, impairment is indicated and we will recognize an impairment loss in an
amount equal to the difference. As a result of our 2013 qualitative assessments of goodwill assigned to each of our reporting
units, we concluded it was not more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit was less than its carrying value,
respectively. There was no impairment of goodwill during 2013, 2012 or 2011.
Intangible assets
We amortize finite-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives as follows.

(1) Certain of the customer relationships are amortized on an accelerated basis.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of tradenames. We evaluate the estimated useful lives and the potential for impairment
of finite and indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate revised
estimates of useful lives may be appropriate or that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount is no
longer recoverable based upon the undiscounted cash flows of the asset, the amount of impairment is the difference between the
carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. Substantially all of our intangible assets were acquired in business
combinations. There was no impairment of intangible assets during 2013, 2012 or 2011.
Cost method investments
Cost method investments consist of investments in privately held companies where we do not have the ability to exercise
significant influence or have control over the investee. We record these investments at cost and periodically test them for other-
than-temporary impairment. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we determined that our cost method
investment had other-than-temporary impairment based on the projected liquidity of the investment. We used the income
approach to determine the fair value of the investment in determining the impairment. An impairment loss of $0.2 million and
$1.8 million was recorded in income from operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. There
were no remaining cost method investments at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Deferred financing costs
Deferred financing costs included in other assets represent the direct costs of entering into both our revolving credit facility in
June 2011 and our amended and restated credit facility in February 2012. These costs are amortized as interest expense using
the effective interest method. The deferred financing fees are being amortized over the term of the credit facility.
Stock-based compensation
We measure stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognize it as expense
over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. We determine the fair value of stock options and stock
appreciation rights using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires us to use significant judgment to make
estimates regarding the life of the award, volatility of our stock price, the risk-free interest rate and the dividend yield of our
stock over the life of the award. We determine the fair value of awards that contain market conditions using a Monte Carlo
simulation model. Changes to these estimates would result in different fair values of awards.
F-12
Blackbaud, Inc.
Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued)
We estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited and recognize expense only for those awards that we expect will
ultimately vest. Significant judgment is required in determining the adjustment to compensation expense for estimated
forfeitures. Compensation expense in a period could be impacted, favorably or unfavorably, by differences between estimated
and actual forfeitures.
Income taxes
We make estimates and judgments in accounting for income taxes. The calculation of income tax provision requires estimates
due to transactions, credits and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Uncertainties arise as a
consequence of the actual source of taxable income between domestic and foreign locations, the outcome of tax audits and the
ultimate utilization of tax credits. To the extent actual results differ from estimated amounts recorded, such differences will
impact the income tax provision in the period in which the determination is made.
We make estimates in determining tax assets and liabilities, which arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue
and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized. In assessing the adequacy of a recorded valuation allowance significant judgment is required.
We consider all positive and negative evidence and a variety of factors including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax
liabilities, historical and projected future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. If we determine there
is less than a 50% likelihood that we will be able to use a deferred tax asset in the future in excess of its net carrying value, then
an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance is made to reduce income tax expense, thereby increasing net
income in the period such determination was made.
We measure and recognize uncertain tax positions. To recognize such positions we must first determine if it is more likely than
not that the position will be sustained on audit. We must then measure the benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50%
likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Significant judgment is required in the identification and measurement of
uncertain tax positions.
Foreign currency
Net assets recorded in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense
items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated
other comprehensive income.
Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions denominated in currency other than the functional currency are
recorded at the approximate rate of exchange at the transaction date in other expense, net. For each of the years ended
December 31, 2013 and 2012, we recorded net foreign currency losses of $0.4 million. For the year ended December 31, 2011,
we recorded net a foreign currency gain of $0.3 million.
Research and development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs include human resource costs, stock-based
compensation expense, third-party contractor expenses, software development tools and certain other expenses related to
researching and developing new products, and allocated depreciation, facilities and IT support costs.
Software development costs
We incur certain costs associated with the development of internal-use software and software developed related to our cloud-
based solutions, which are accounted for as internal-use software. The costs incurred in the preliminary stages of internal-use
software development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external
costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.
Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. We also capitalize costs related to specific upgrades and
enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized costs for internal-use
software are recorded as part of computer software costs within property and equipment. Capitalized costs for software
developed for our cloud-based solutions are recorded to other assets. Internal-use software is amortized on a straight line basis
over its estimated useful life, which is generally three years.
Although our development efforts are primarily focused on our cloud-based solutions, we also incur cost in connection with the
development of certain of our software products licensed to customers on a perpetual basis, which are accounted for as costs of
F-13
Blackbaud, Inc.
Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued)
software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed. Costs for the development of software to be sold are expensed as incurred
until technological feasibility has been established, at which time such costs are capitalized until the product is available for
general release to customers. Capitalized software development costs include direct labor costs and fringe benefit costs
attributed to programmers, software engineers and quality control teams working on products after they reach technological
feasibility but before they are generally available to customers for sale. Capitalized software development costs are typically
amortized over the estimated product life on a straight-line basis, which is generally three years.
Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. There were no impairments during the years ended
December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, software development costs, net of accumulated
amortization, were $4.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance
sheets. Amortization expense related to software development costs was $1.0 million, $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the
years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is included in both cost of license fees and cost of
subscriptions.
Sales returns and allowance for doubtful accounts
We maintain a reserve for returns and credits which is estimated based on several factors including historical experience, known
credits yet to be issued, the aging of customer accounts and the nature of service level commitments. A considerable amount of
judgment is required in assessing these factors. Provisions for sales returns and credits are charged against the related revenue
items.
Accounts receivable are recorded at original invoice amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts, an amount we estimate to
be sufficient to provide adequate protection against losses resulting from extending credit to our customers. In judging the
adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider multiple factors including historical bad debt experience, the
general economic environment, the need for specific customer reserves and the aging of our receivables. A considerable amount
of judgment is required in assessing these factors and if any receivables were to deteriorate, an additional provision for doubtful
accounts could be required. Accounts are written off after all means of collection are exhausted and recovery is considered
remote. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded in general and administrative expense.

Restructuring costs
Restructuring costs include charges for the costs of exit or disposal activities. The liability for costs associated with exit or
disposal activities is measured initially at fair value and only recognized when the liability is incurred.
Impairment of long-lived assets
We review long-lived assets for impairment when events change or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. Events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable include, but are not
limited to, a significant decrease in the market value of the business or asset acquired, a significant adverse change in the extent
or manner in which the business or asset acquired is used or significant adverse change in the business climate. If such events or
changes in circumstances are present, the undiscounted cash flow method is used to determine whether the asset is impaired. No
impairment of long-lived assets resulted in 2013, 2012 or 2011.
Contingencies
We are subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies in the normal course of business. We record an accrual for a
contingency when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
Often these issues are subject to substantial uncertainties and, therefore, the probability of loss and the estimation of damages
are difficult to ascertain. These assessments can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily
on estimates and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by us. Although we believe we have substantial defenses in
these matters, we could incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows in any particular period.
Earnings per share
We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares then outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share reflect the assumed exercise, settlement and vesting of all dilutive securities using the "treasury stock
method" when the effect is not anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock
options, settlement of stock appreciation rights and vesting of restricted stock awards and units.

Effective January 1, 2013, we adopted ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified
Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires that entities provide information about the amounts
reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, entities are required to present, either
on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated
other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under
GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under
GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, entities are required to cross-reference to other disclosures required
under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact
on our consolidated financial statements. We have presented the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive
income by component in Note 10 and Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2013, we adopted ASU 2012-02, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Indefinite-Lived
Intangible Assets for Impairment, which simplifies how entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU
2012-02 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-
lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test
currently required by ASC Topic 350-30 on general intangibles other than goodwill. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 did not have
a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a
Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. Under ASU 2013-11, an
unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a
reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except
as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the
reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the
disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does
not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial
statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years and

2012 Acquisitions
Convio
In May 2012, we completed our acquisition of Convio, Inc. (Convio), for approximately $329.8 million in cash consideration
and the assumption of unvested equity awards valued at approximately $5.9 million, for a total of $335.7 million. Convio was a
leading provider of on-demand constituent engagement solutions that enabled nonprofit organizations to more effectively raise
funds, advocate for change and cultivate relationships. The acquisition of Convio expands our subscription and online offerings
and accelerates our evolution to a subscription-based revenue model. As a result of the acquisition, Convio has become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. The results of operations of Convio are included in our consolidated financial statements
from the date of acquisition. Because we have integrated a substantial amount of the Convio operations and have made product
rationalization decisions, it is not possible to determine the revenue and operating costs attributable solely to the acquired
business. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we incurred $6.4 million of acquisition-related costs associated with the
acquisition of Convio, which were recorded in general and administrative expense.
We financed the acquisition of Convio through cash on hand and borrowings of $312.0 million under our credit facility. In
connection with closing the Convio acquisition, we designated Convio as a material domestic subsidiary under our credit
facility. As a material domestic subsidiary, Convio guarantees amounts outstanding under the credit facility and pledges certain
stock of its subsidiaries.

recognized is attributable primarily to the assembled workforce of Convio and the opportunities for expected synergies. None of
the goodwill arising in the acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes. The estimated amount of goodwill assigned to the
Enterprise Customer Business Unit and the General Markets Business Unit reporting segments was $124.8 million and $48.5
million, respectively.

excess earnings methods. Customer relationships are amortized on an accelerated basis. Marketing assets, acquired technology
and non-compete agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis. In-process research and development related to proprietary
technology was placed into service subsequent to the time of acquisition and is amortized on a straight-line basis since the time
of being placed into service over a weighted average amortization period of seven years.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated results of operations assume that the acquisition of Convio
occurred on January 1, 2011. This unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect any adjustments for anticipated
synergies resulting from the acquisition and should not be relied upon as being indicative of the historical results that would
have been attained had the transaction been consummated as of January 1, 2011, or of the results that may occur in the future.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we acquired two entities for total consideration of $24.2 million, all of which was
paid in cash. The results of operations of acquired entities have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the
date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of these business combinations,
individually and in the aggregate, were not material to our consolidated results of operations. We recorded the purchase price
allocation based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. None of the goodwill arising from the
acquisitions completed in 2011 is deductible for income tax purposes.

We have a five-year $325.0 million credit facility, which includes the following facilities: (i) a dollar and a designated currency
revolving credit facility with sublimits for letters of credit and swingline loans, and (ii) a delayed draw term loan. The stock and
limited liability company interests of certain subsidiaries are pledged as collateral for the credit facility which is guaranteed by
our material domestic subsidiaries.
Amounts borrowed under the dollar tranche revolving credit loans and delayed draw term loans under the credit facility bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, (a) Base Rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) federal funds rate
plus 0.50% and (iii) one month LIBOR plus 1%, in addition to a margin of 0.25% to 1.25%, or (b) LIBOR rate plus a margin of
1.25% to 2.25%. Swingline loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus a margin of 0.25% to 1.25% or
such other rate agreed to between the Swingline lender and us. Designated currency tranche revolving credit loans bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR rate for the applicable currency plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.25%. The exact amount of
any margin depends on the nature of the loan and our leverage ratio.
We also pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility from 0.20% to 0.35% per annum,
depending on our leverage ratio. At December 31, 2013, the commitment fee was 0.25%.
The term loans under our credit facility require periodic principal payments. The balance of the term loans and any amounts
drawn on the revolving credit loans are due upon maturity of the credit facility in February 2017. We evaluate the classification
of our debt based on the required annual maturities of our credit facility.
The credit facility includes financial covenants related to the consolidated leverage ratio and interest ratio, as well as
restrictions on the maximum amount of annual capital expenditures, our ability to incur obligations with other financial
institutions, our ability to declare and pay dividends and our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock. At
December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under the credit facility.

In February 2012, we amended and restated our credit facility to increase our borrowing capacity. In connection with our
amended and restated credit facility, we paid $2.4 million of financing costs. These costs together with a portion of the
unamortized financing costs from our previous credit facility are being amortized over the term of the new facility. As of
December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, deferred financing costs totaling $1.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively, are
included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
10. Derivative instruments
We use derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk. We have two interest rate swap agreements which effectively
convert portions of our variable rate debt under our credit facility to a fixed rate for the terms of the swap agreements. The
aggregate notional value of the swap agreements was $150.0 million with effective dates beginning in May 2012 through
January 2017. We designated the swap agreements as cash flow hedges at the inception of the contracts.

decreased $(0.3) million during the year ended December 31, 2013. The income tax benefit recognized in accumulated other
comprehensive loss was $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.
11. Commitments and contingencies
Leases
We lease our headquarters facility under a 15-year lease agreement which was entered into in October 2008, and has two five-
year renewal options. The current annual base rent of the lease is $4.0 million, payable in equal monthly installments. The base
rent escalates annually at a rate equal to the change in the consumer price index, as defined in the agreement, but not to exceed
5.5% in any year.
With our acquisition of Convio, we assumed a lease for office space in Austin, Texas which terminates on September 30, 2023,
and has two five-year renewal options. Under the terms of the lease, we will increase our leased space by approximately 20,000
square feet on July 31, 2016. The current annual base rent of the lease is $2.2 million. The terms of the agreement include a rent
holiday during the first year and base rent that escalates annually thereafter between 2% and 4%. The related rent expense is
recorded on a straight-line basis over the length of the lease term. We have a standby letter of credit of $2.0 million for a
security deposit for this lease.
We have provisions in our leases that entitle us to aggregate leasehold improvement allowances of $9.5 million. These amounts
are recorded as a reduction to rent expense ratably over the terms of the leases. Rent expense was reduced related to these lease
provisions by $0.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 and $0.3 million during each of the years ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The leasehold improvement allowances have been included in the table of operating
lease commitments below as a reduction in our lease commitments ratably over the then remaining terms of the leases. The
timing of the reimbursements for the actual leasehold improvements may vary from the amounts reflected in the table below.
Additionally, we have subleased a portion of our facilities under various agreements extending through 2013. The reduction in
rent expense related to these agreements during the year ending December 31, 2013 was not material to the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income. Rent expense was reduced by $0.3 million and $0.4 million related to these agreements
during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
We have also received, and expect to receive through 2016, quarterly South Carolina state incentive payments as a result of
locating our headquarters facility in Berkeley County, South Carolina. These amounts are recorded as a reduction of rent
expense and were $2.4 million, $2.2 million and $2.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011,
respectively.
Additionally, we lease various office space and equipment under operating leases. We also have various non-cancelable capital
leases for computer equipment and furniture that are not significant.
Total rent expense was $9.0 million, $7.6 million and $4.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011,
respectively.

As discussed in Note 9 of these consolidated financial statements, the term loans under our credit facility require periodic
principal payments. The balance of the term loans and any amounts drawn on the revolving credit loans are due upon maturity
of the credit facility in February 2017.
We utilize third-party technology in conjunction with our products and services, with contractual arrangements varying in
length from one to three years. In certain cases, these arrangements require a minimum annual purchase commitment by us. As
of December 31, 2013, the remaining aggregate minimum purchase commitment under these arrangements was approximately
$11.8 million through 2016. We incurred expense under these arrangements of $3.5 million for the year ended December 31,
2013.
Legal contingencies
We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We record an accrual for a
contingency when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
We do not believe the amount of potential liability with respect to these actions will have a material adverse effect upon our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Guarantees and indemnification obligations
We enter into agreements in the ordinary course of business with, among others, customers, creditors, vendors and service
providers. Pursuant to certain of these agreements we have agreed to indemnify the other party for certain matters, such as
property damage, personal injury, acts or omissions of ours, or our employees, agents or representatives, or third-party claims
alleging that the activities of its contractual partner pursuant to the contract infringe a patent, trademark or copyright of such
third party.
We assess the fair value of our liability on the above indemnities to be immaterial based on historical experience and
information known at December 31, 2013.
12. Income taxes
Prior to October 13, 1999, we were organized as an S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, were not
subject to federal income taxes. We historically made distributions to our stockholders to cover the stockholders' anticipated tax
liability. In connection with our 1999 recapitalization, we converted our U.S. taxable status from an S corporation to a C
corporation and, accordingly, since October 14, 1999, have been subject to federal and state income taxes. We file income tax
returns in the U.S. for federal and various state jurisdictions as well as in foreign jurisdictions including Canada, United
Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands and Ireland. We are generally subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for calendar
tax years 2010 through 2013 as well as state and foreign income tax examinations for various years depending on statutes of
limitations of those jurisdictions.

We recorded net excess tax benefits attributable to stock option and stock appreciation right exercises and restricted stock
vesting of $0.1 million and $0.2 million in stockholders’ equity during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011,
respectively. We were unable to recognize additional excess tax benefits of stock-based compensation deductions generated
during 2013 and 2012 of $3.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, because the deductions did not reduce income tax payable
after considering our net operating loss carryforwards. Although not recognized for financial reporting purposes, these
unrecognized tax benefits are available to reduce future taxable income.

The federal and state research and development tax credits, which had previously expired on December 31, 2011, were
reinstated as part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 enacted on January 2, 2013. This legislation retroactively
reinstated and extended the credits from the previous expiration date through December 31, 2013. The benefit of the federal and
state credits for 2013 and 2012 has been included in 2013 tax expense, representing a $1.8 million and $1.6 million benefit,
respectively.

As of December 31, 2013, our federal, foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes were
approximately $41.8 million, $3.1 million and $52.6 million, respectively. The federal and state net operating loss
carryforwards are subject to various Internal Revenue Code limitations and applicable state tax laws. If not utilized, the federal
net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2032 and the state net operating loss carryforwards will expire over
various periods beginning in 2014. A portion of the foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards have a valuation reserve
due to management's uncertainty regarding the future ability to use such carryforwards. Our federal, foreign and state tax credit
carryforwards for income tax purposes were approximately $6.3 million, $0.5 million and $12.2 million, net of federal tax,
respectively. If not utilized, the federal tax credit carryforwards will begin to expire in 2022 and the state tax credit
carryforwards will begin to expire in 2014. The state tax credits had a valuation reserve of approximately $8.5 million, net of
federal tax, as of December 31, 2013.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefit that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $3.7 million
at December 31, 2013. We recognize accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component
of income tax expense. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties included in the consolidated balance sheets as of
December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The total amount of interest and penalties
included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as a decrease in income tax expense for 2012 was $0.3
million. The total amount of interest and penalties included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as an
increase in income tax expense for 2013 and 2011 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
We have taken federal and state tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax
benefits might decrease within the next twelve months. This possible decrease could result from the expiration of statutes of
limitations. The reasonably possible decrease approximates $1.3 million at December 31, 2013.
We concluded that a portion of the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, as related solely to Canada, are not
permanently reinvested and as a result we recorded a tax liability and applicable foreign tax credits for the effect of repatriating
those foreign earnings. For the remaining undistributed earnings, which we do not consider to be significant, we concluded that
these earnings would be permanently reinvested in the local jurisdictions and not repatriated to the United States. Accordingly,
we have not provided for U.S. federal and foreign withholding taxes on those undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.
It is not practicable to estimate the amount that might be payable if some or all of such earnings were to be remitted.
13. Stock-based compensation
Employee stock-based compensation plans
Under the Blackbaud, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (2008 Equity Plan), we may grant incentive stock options, non-statutory
stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, performance stock awards and
other stock awards to eligible employees, directors and consultants. We maintain other stock-based compensation plans
including the 2004 Stock Plan, under which no additional grants may be made, and the 2009 Equity Compensation Plan for
Employees from Acquired Companies, under which we may grant shares of common stock to employees pursuant to
employment contracts or other arrangements entered into in connection with past and future acquisitions.
In connection with the acquisition of Kintera in July 2008, we maintain the Kintera, Inc. Amended and Restated 2003 Equity
Incentive Plan, as amended (Kintera 2003 Plan), which we assumed upon the acquisition of Kintera. In connection with the
acquisition of Convio in May 2012, we maintain the Convio, Inc. 1999 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, as amended (Convio
1999 Plan) and Convio, Inc. 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (Convio 2009 Plan), which we assumed upon the
acquisition of Convio. Our Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers all of these plans and the stock-
based awards are granted under terms determined by them.
The total number of authorized stock-based awards available under our plans was 5,723,093 as of December 31, 2013. We issue
common stock from our pool of authorized stock upon exercise of stock options and stock appreciation rights, vesting of
restricted stock units or upon granting of restricted stock.
F-28
Blackbaud, Inc.
Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued)
Historically, we have issued four types of awards under these plans: stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units
and stock appreciation rights. The following table sets forth the number of awards outstanding for each award type as of:

2,786,828
The majority of the stock-based awards granted under these plans have a 10-year contractual term. Stock appreciation rights
(SARs) have contractual lives of 7 years. Awards granted to our executive officers and certain members of management are
subject to accelerated vesting upon a change in control as defined in the employees’ retention agreement.
We recognize compensation expense associated with stock options and awards with performance or market based vesting
conditions on an accelerated basis over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the
vesting period. We recognize compensation expense associated with restricted stock awards and SARs on a straight-line basis
over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. Compensation expense is
recognized net of estimated forfeitures such that expense is recognized only for those stock-based awards that are expected to
vest. A forfeiture rate is estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ
from initial estimates.
Stock-based compensation expense is allocated to expense categories on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income
based on where the associated employee’s compensation is recorded. The following table summarizes stock-based
compensation expense:

There have been no new stock option awards granted since 2005. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years
ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $0.8 million, $3.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The total fair value of
options that vested during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was not material. All outstanding options
granted had a fair market value assigned at the grant date based on the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Restricted stock awards
We have also granted shares of common stock subject to certain restrictions under the 2008 Equity Plan and the 2004 Stock
Plan. Restricted stock awards granted to employees vest in equal annual installments over four years from the grant date.
Restricted stock awards granted to non-employee directors vest after one year from the date of grant or, if earlier, immediately
prior to the next annual election of directors, provided the non-employee director is serving as a director at that time. The fair
market value of the stock at the time of the grant is amortized on a straight-line basis to expense over the period of vesting.
Recipients of restricted stock awards have the right to vote such shares and receive dividends.

2012 and 2011 was $10.4 million, $9.6 million and $9.9 million, respectively. The weighted average grant-date fair value of
restricted stock awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $22.77 and $27.98, respectively.
Restricted stock units
We have also granted restricted stock units subject to certain restrictions under the 2008 Equity Plan and assumed restricted
stock units in connection with the Convio acquisition. Restricted stock units granted to employees vest in equal annual
installments generally over three years from the grant date. We have also granted restricted stock units for which vesting is
subject to meeting certain performance and/or market conditions. The fair market value of the stock at the time of the grant is
amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the period of vesting except for awards with market or performance
conditions which are amortized on an accelerated basis over the period of vesting. Income tax benefits resulting from the
vesting of restricted stock units are recognized in the period the unit is exercised to the extent expense has been recognized.

Stock appreciation rights
We have granted SARs under the 2008 Equity Plan and the 2004 Stock Plan to certain members of management. The SARs
will be settled in stock at the time of exercise and vest four years from the date of grant subject to the recipient’s continued
employment with us. The number of shares issued upon the exercise of the SARs is calculated as the difference between the
share price of our stock on the date of exercise and the date of grant multiplied by the number of SARs divided by the share
price on the exercise date.

granted for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $6.59, $6.36 and $8.10, respectively. All outstanding SARs
granted had a fair market value assigned at the grant date based on the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. All SARs
granted with a market condition had a fair market value assigned at the grant date based on the use of a Monte Carlo simulation
model. Significant assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for SARs granted in 2013, 2012 and 2011 were
as follows:
Volatility
Dividend yield
Risk-free interest rate
Expected SAR life in years
Year ended December 31,

0.6% to 0.8%

0.6% to 1.9%

The expected volatility assumption is based on the volatility derived from prices of our stock over a historical term consistent
with the expected life of the SAR at the time of grant. The dividend yield is based on the adopted dividend policy in effect at
the time of grant and the expectation of future dividends. The risk-free interest rate is based on a United States Treasury
instrument with a term consistent with the expected life of the SAR at the time of grant. The expected life of the SAR
represents the period that the award is expected to be outstanding based on historical experience. In determining the appropriate
expected life of the SAR, we segregate our grantees into categories based upon employee levels that are expected to be
indicative of similar award-related behavior.
14. Stockholders’ equity
Preferred stock
Our Board of Directors may fix the relative rights and preferences of each series of preferred stock in a resolution of the Board
of Directors.
Dividends
Our Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy which provides for the distribution to stockholders a portion of cash
generated by us that is in excess of operational needs and capital expenditures. Our credit facility limits the amount of
dividends payable and certain state laws restrict the amount of dividends distributed.

Stock repurchase program
We have a repurchase program that authorizes us to purchase up to $50.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock.
The program does not have an expiration date. The shares can be purchased from time to time on the open market or in
privately negotiated transactions depending upon market conditions and other factors.
We account for purchases of treasury stock under the cost method. The remaining amount available to purchase stock under the
stock repurchase program was $50.0 million as of December 31, 2013.

15. Employee profit-sharing plan
We have a 401(k) profit-sharing plan (the 401K Plan) covering substantially all employees. Employees can contribute between
1% and 30% of their salaries in 2013, 2012 and 2011, and we match 50% of qualified employees’ contributions up to 6% of
their salary. The 401K Plan also provides for additional employer contributions to be made at our discretion. Total matching
contributions to the 401K Plan for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $5.1 million, $4.6 million and $4.0
million, respectively. There was no discretionary contribution by us to the 401K Plan in 2013, 2012 and 2011.
16. Segment information
As of December 31, 2013, our reportable segments were as follows: the Enterprise Customer Business Unit, or the ECBU, the
General Markets Business Unit, or the GMBU, the International Business Unit, or IBU, and Target Analytics. Following is a
description of each reportable segment:
• The ECBU is focused on marketing, sales, delivery and support to large and/or strategic, specifically identified
prospects and customers in North America;
F-33
Blackbaud, Inc.
Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued)
• The GMBU is focused on marketing, sales, delivery and support to all emerging and mid-sized prospects and
customers in North America;
• The IBU is focused on marketing, sales, delivery and support to all prospects and customers outside of North
America; and
• Target Analytics is primarily focused on marketing, sales and delivery of analytics services to all prospects and
customers in North America.
Our chief operating decision maker is our chief executive officer, or CEO. The CEO reviews financial information presented on
an operating segment basis for the purposes of making certain operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The
CEO uses internal financial reports that provide segment revenues and operating income, excluding stock-based compensation
expense, amortization expense, depreciation expense, research and development expense and certain corporate sales, marketing,
general and administrative expenses. Currently, the CEO believes that the exclusion of these costs allows for a better
understanding of the operating performance of the operating units and management of other operating expenses and cash needs.
The CEO does not review any segment balance sheet information.
We have recast our segment disclosures for 2012 and 2011 to present them on a consistent basis with the current year. During
2013, we refined our methodology for allocating revenue and expenses to our reportable segments to provide further precision
in those allocations. Summarized reportable segment financial results were as follows:

Included in the fourth quarter 2013 was $8.5 million of subscription revenue which was attributable to a prospective change in
presentation from net to gross for revenues and costs associated with certain of our payment processing services effective
October 2013. Earnings (loss) per common share are computed independently for each of the periods presented and, therefore,
may not add up to the total for the year. The results of operations of acquired companies are included in the consolidated results
of operations from the date of their respective acquisition as described in Note 3.

18. Restructuring
During 2012, in an effort to consolidate our operating locations, we decided not to renew our lease for office space in San
Diego, CA, which matured on June 30, 2013. As a result, we initiated a plan to transition most of our operations based in San
Diego, CA to our Austin, TX location, which we substantially completed in June 2013 when the lease matured.
The following table summarizes our restructuring costs related to our San Diego office transition as of December 31, 2013:
