Dear Fellow Shareholders

All things considered, 2013 was a good year for CTG with revenue and earnings 
only slightly below 2012, making 2013 our second best year in well over a 
decade. Net income per diluted share for 2013 was $0.92 compared with 
$0.96 in 2012 which included non-operational gains from insurance proceeds 
of 7½ cents. In fact, 2013 earnings per share would have been 5% higher 
than 2012 after the exclusion of 2012’s non-operational gains. The operating 
margin expanded in 2013 to 5.9% reflecting disciplined cost control and an 
increase in the profitability of work in our staffing and solutions businesses. 
Our ability to increase CTG’s operating earnings in 2013 despite lower revenue 
is especially noteworthy in the context of lower spending on external IT 
services last year in virtually all of the markets we serve.

Proven Strategy
For over a decade, CTG’s strategy has been to concentrate on growing our business in four 

higher growth markets: technology service providers, healthcare, financial services, and 

energy with our primary focus on healthcare, one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S. 

When we implemented this strategy, we were confident it was the right course for CTG and in 

hindsight it was, though we did not foresee just how successful it would prove to be. Looking 

at the last five years, CTG’s revenue increased by almost $150 million, earnings per share

and profitability. 

Over the last five years, as the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) accelerated, we 

grew this business and CTG became well known in the industry for our success in leading 

and supporting large, complex EHR implementations for major healthcare providers. CTG is 

at the forefront of helping to build health information exchanges (HIEs) that facilitate the 

secure and immediate electronic sharing of patient health data among different providers 

within a geographic area or a large provider network. We also increased our business as a 

provider of health application management services, regulatory compliance solutions, and 

business and IT consulting services that help health organizations meet clinical, operational, 

and financial goals.

Anticipating the value that medical analytics could bring to the healthcare market, CTG 

developed a suite of proprietary medical data analytics software products that use large 

data sets to evaluate medical treatments and claims to facilitate better patient outcomes 

and reduce healthcare costs. Our investments in data analytics are beginning to pay off with 

a meaningful contribution to 2013 earnings and recent sales of our data analytics products 

scheduled to begin later this year. 

The collective result of our investments and success in building our healthcare business is that 

CTG is now one of the largest providers of health IT services in the United States. Reflecting 

that growth, we have been named to the Healthcare Informatics ranking of the top 100 

health IT companies and the Modern Healthcare Largest Healthcare Management Consulting 

Firms list every year since 2008. CTG Health Solutions, our health IT division, placed seventh 

in that Modern Healthcare list in 2013, three spots above the 2012 list. CTG Health Solutions 

was also named as a 2013 Modern Healthcare Best Place to Work in Healthcare, ranking 

Looking at the last five years, 

CTG’s revenue increased by 

almost $150 million, earnings 

per share more than doubled, 

seventh on that list and first among consulting firms employing more than 100 people. In

most innovative users of business technology, placing 132, putting us in the top third of this

a comprehensive solution for EHR integration of genomic testing for cancer patients. The 

project was a collaboration with Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI), a National Cancer 

Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center. CTG is also providing RPCI expertise in 

EHRs, information technology, bioinformatics, and data analytics that combines IT with 

genomics science to enable delivery of personalized treatments to patients on a regional and 

national level. Recognition of our success in developing innovative medical data analytics 

solutions, growing our health IT business, and being an excellent employer enhances CTG’s 

reputation as an industry leader and provides a competitive advantage in securing new work 

and recruiting experienced health IT consultants in a highly competitive market. 

After several years of steady growth, revenue from our healthcare business was down 

slightly in 2013 from 2012. The most significant factor that hampered growth last year in 

our healthcare business and that of many other health IT consulting firms was the federal 

budget sequestration, a budget austerity measure mandated by the Budget Control Act of 

2011 that beginning on March 1, 2013 resulted in automatic cuts in government spending 

which included a two percent reduction in Medicare reimbursements to hospitals. This 

revenue reduction caused many hospitals to reduce or delay spending on major investments 

and large projects while they determine how to adjust their cost structure to deal with lower 

reimbursements as a result of the U.S. federal budget sequestration. While this development 

prompted some health organizations to put EHR systems and other IT investments on hold, it 

is not prudent for them to do so indefinitely because EHRs are essential to health information 

exchange, revenue optimization, and cost savings under the pay for performance models for 

care delivery that are coming with heath reform.

Diverse Opportunities 
Even with the recent lull in provider IT spending, healthcare is unquestionably still the best 

industry for CTG to focus its growth efforts on. Healthcare expenditures were estimated to 

be 17.2% of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) in 2012 and are expected to top 19% 

by 2020 (source: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, January 2014). To our benefit, 

technology is a critical component of almost every initiative to reduce or control the rising  

cost of healthcare and in many cases to improve treatment outcomes.

While we believe that growth in our healthcare business will be challenged over the next 

year, there is significant long-term growth opportunity for this business once we are past  

this transition period of project delays, realignment of hospital budgets in order to fund  

mission-critical IT investments, and still evolving industry needs for IT support to address 

health reform. On the EHR front, there is opportunity for new work in a number of areas, 

including EHR implementation and integration in the U.S. and Europe, post go-live and 

production support, merger-related EHR work, EHR optimization initiatives, computerized 

order entry applications, meaningful use compliance, and the building of HIEs. Health  

reform is driving increased demand for health IT consulting services and solutions that 

support revenue cycle optimization, regulatory compliance, and the transition to delivery  

of care within an accountable care business model. Over the last year, we have expanded  

our advisory services practice and offerings to support these current and emerging market 

needs, while also enhancing our medical data analytics products and expanding our 

application management outsourcing offerings. 

An important trend in the healthcare market that is being driven by health reform is the 

growing convergence of the provider and payer markets. We are responding to these 

changes with cross practice solutions for providers and payers. A significant advantage CTG 

On the EHR front, there is 

has in responding to this shift is that in addition to the provider market, we also have deep 

opportunity for new work in a 

experience in the payer market in multiple service areas and technologies, and in the creation 

of HIEs that enable the sharing of patient information between providers and payers. 

The federal government recently affirmed its October 1, 2014 deadline for the conversion 

to ICD-10, the new U.S. standard for diagnostic codes and healthcare billing codes, from the 

number of areas including EHR 

implementation and integration 

in the U.S. and Europe, post 

current ICD-9 standard. This process requires assessment and integration work for providers 

go-live and production support, 

and payers, and also opens the door for revenue cycle management consulting for providers 

to minimize the inevitable disruptions in claims processing that will occur with the switch. 

Longer term, as reimbursement for care under health reform moves from a fee-for-service 

model to a performance-based model, revenue cycle management will become critical to  

the financial stability of health providers, further increasing the need for consulting support.

With our acquisition of etrinity, a Benelux health IT consulting firm, in February 2013 and our 

significant European operations, CTG is very well positioned to participate in the adoption 

merger-related EHR work, 

EHR optimization initiatives, 

computerized order entry 

applications, meaningful use 

compliance, and the building  

of U.S. healthcare software packages by European hospitals, which is in the very beginning 

of HIEs.

stages. In the second half of 2013, we secured our first European EHR advisory consulting 

project, an important first step toward supporting large full-scale EHR implementations as 

European healthcare providers begin to implement U.S. EHR software packages to improve 

healthcare delivery and lower costs. Our assessment of European market demand for EHRs  

is that it will be a year or two before it gains strong momentum.

We continue to be very excited about the prospects for CTG’s proprietary software products 

that use powerful business intelligence on large data sets—“big data”— to evaluate and 

analyze medical treatments and claims with the goal of achieving better patient outcomes 

and reducing costs. “Big data” is increasingly being seen as a valuable asset for large health 

organizations and powerful data analytics tools as the route to unlocking the financial and 

operational benefits of these assets. A prerequisite to maximizing the value of data analytics 

is a high level of data integrity and security. We already have robust information security and 

data governance offerings for the health markets to support these needs. 

Our data analytics suite offers multiple applications organized under two major solution 

offerings. The first solution is our customizable claims management software offering that 

applies data analytics to large, multi-year sets of claims data to analyze medical claims for 

billing and payment errors in multiple areas of interest including possible fraud, waste, and 

abuse (FWA). This product performs a comprehensive analysis of claims data and trends over 

a multi-year timeframe and provides actionable recommendations for immediate recoveries 

and future medical cost reductions through policy changes and increased enforcement. CTG’s 

claims management solution typically provides health payers an additional one to two percent 

of claims dollars savings over internal audits and FWA investigations.

Our other health analytics solution is a clinical decision support tool that analyzes the 

information supplied by EHRs across a large patient population to identify best practices 

By building CTG’s capabilities 

in IT consulting services tied 

to health reform, application 

management outsourcing, 

and medical data analytics, 

we have done much of the 

groundwork to be ready to 

and optimal treatment plans for better managing complex and costly diseases. This product, 

capitalize on growing demand 

initially developed and validated for chronic kidney disease, offers multiple applications that 

evaluate providers, facilities, therapies, and drugs throughout the course of care to support 

better and more cost-effective physician management of these illnesses. 

An exciting development that significantly benefits CTG in the area of medical data analytics 

in the health markets for 

these services and continue 

to build our higher margin 

was announced in January 2014. CTG was named by the State University of New York at 

solutions business.

Buffalo (UB) as one of a select group of companies that will gain access to its Center for 

Computational Research (CCR), which houses UB’s supercomputing resources including one 

of the world’s largest, most powerful supercomputers. Our relationship with UB’s CCR and 

use of its supercomputer resources will differentiate us in the delivery of medical informatics 

products and services and help establish CTG as a player in the emerging big data analytics 

market targeted to healthcare. 

Health providers and payers are increasingly looking to outsource applications to health 

IT firms to achieve significant, immediate cost savings without making a large financial 

investment. Historically, typical application management outsourcing engagements have 

run from one to two years as an application is being retired from the client’s portfolio and 

being replaced by a new one. Recently demand has grown for full outsourcing support for 

applications that are not being retired. These engagements are typically longer term thus 

providing an annuity-like revenue stream for the vendor. CTG is well known among large 

hospitals and integrated delivery networks as a go-to source for application management. 

CTG has also provided application management for several health payers. We began 

several new large health IT outsourcing engagements in 2013 and have a healthy pipeline 

of additional outsourcing engagements expected to start in 2014. Based on our significant 

experience and excellent reputation in this area, application management outsourcing is 

another area of our business that CTG is ideally positioned to grow over the next few years. 

4

In addition to the many growth opportunities health IT offers, there are multiple opportunities 

to expand our European business and managed services staffing business. We are pleased 

that our European business remains in a growth mode with revenue increasing on a same 

currency basis by 9% last year and contributing 18% to total 2013 revenue. Growth in 2013 

in Europe came from the acquisition of etrinity, and the financial services and government 

markets, the industries where much of our European business is concentrated. In each 

of the three European countries we operate in—Belgium, Luxembourg and the United 

Kingdom—CTG is well known as a leading provider of software testing services and also 

has been successful in the outsourcing arena through our IT service management offering. 

In 2013, we also expanded our outsourcing capabilities to provide multiple IT services in 

various technologies remotely from delivery centers located at our office sites. Our strength 

in these offerings, and in the financial services and government markets, provides growth 

opportunities on top of what we see longer term in the evolving health IT market in Europe. 

We are looking to strategically grow our managed services staffing business by focusing on 

the addition of large corporate clients that have high volume needs for external technical 

resources, and where we will be the prime supplier or one of a small number of preferred 

suppliers. Under the managed services business model, CTG provides a total customized 

staffing solution for managed services clients, including recruiting, hiring, deployment, 

administration, and ongoing management of technical resources. Our managed staffing 

services business generates significantly higher margins than traditional staffing while also 

providing the highest level of client service. 

On the Right Course 
In summary, CTG performed well in 2013 despite the head winds from reduced spending 

on external IT support that resulted in slightly lower revenue for the year and a shift in our 

business mix to 61% staffing/39% solutions from 59% staffing/41% solutions in 2012. Even 

In addition to the many

the operating margin to its highest level in over a decade. CTG’s 2013 operating margin of 

5.9% touched on our strategic goal of six to seven percent operating margins. Revenue from 

our staffing business increased by 2% this year with growth coming from higher margin 

managed staffing services work. European revenue increased for the third consecutive year. 

At 31% of total 2013 revenue, our healthcare business still had a good year and was able 

to offset some of the decline in EHR work with growth in advisory services and application 

management outsourcing. Behind our results is a very capable and committed team of IT 

professionals who year in and year out provide our clients with the expertise and support that 

is the core of our business and success.  

We remain very committed to creating value for CTG’s shareholders. While CTG’s 2013 

total return of 4.4% was well below broader market returns for last year, it was comparable 

to the Dow Jones U.S. Computer Services Index 2013 total return of 6.3% and indicative 

of a challenging year for the IT services industry. A better view of CTG’s record of value 

creation is to look over the longer term. The compounded average annual total return to CTG 

shareholders over the last five years was 43% compared with 18% for the S&P 500 Index and 

21% for the Dow Jones U.S. Computer Services Index. 

5

Further reflecting our commitment to creating shareholder value, CTG’s Board of Directors 

initiated a quarterly cash dividend of five cents per common share in February 2013. Based on 

their continued confidence in CTG’s prospects and financial strength, the Board increased the 

dividend to six cents per common share in February 2014. During 2013, we also repurchased 

approximately 400,000 shares under our authorized program. In October 2013, the Board 

approved a new repurchase authorization of one million shares signaling our commitment to 

maintain an active share repurchase program. 

In May 2013, Dr. John Palms, the former Chairman of the Board of Assurant, Inc. and a 

director of CTG since 2002 retired from the Board. John brought a unique combination 

of academic, technical, and business experience and expertise to the Board that was very 

valuable in helping to guide our strategy and success. On behalf of all the directors, I thank 

John for his many contributions to the work of CTG’s board over the last 11 years.  

Financially, CTG is very strong finishing the year with $46 million in cash and no debt at year 

end for the eighth consecutive year. We are able to consistently generate strong positive cash 

flow based on effective balance sheet management, the quality of our receivables, and low 

capital expenditures for a company of our size. It is noteworthy that in 2013 CTG was able 

to repurchase 2% of our shares, pay a dividend, fund an acquisition, and continue to make 

investments in our business without incurring debt or issuing equity. 

Looking ahead to 2014, we are forecasting stable revenue and earnings based on our 

expectation that IT spending will be flat across the entire market and constrained in the 

healthcare market as health organizations evaluate the best way to make the IT investments 

needed to lower operating costs, respond to changing payment models, and comply with 

multiple health reform mandates. As this process moves forward and our pipeline of work  

for application management outsourcing services and data analytics projects ramps up, we 

look for revenue to increase steadily over the course of the year. 

By building CTG’s capabilities in IT consulting services tied to health reform, application 

management outsourcing, and medical data analytics, we have done much of the 

groundwork to be ready to capitalize on growing demand in the health markets for these 

services and continue to build our higher margin solutions business. Guided by a proven 

strategy and the benefit of many diverse growth opportunities, CTG is on the right course to 

make the most of a challenging business environment and continue building our business, 

profitability, and value for the long term. 

As always, your investment and continued confidence in CTG are greatly appreciated. 

The collective result of our 

investments and success 

in building our healthcare 

business is that CTG is now 

one of the largest providers 

of health IT services in the 

United States. To our benefit, 

technology is a critical 

component of almost every 

initiative to reduce or control 

the rising cost of healthcare 

and in many cases to improve 

treatment outcomes.

offerings in the industry, and (xii) the risks described in Item 1A of this annual report on Form 10-K and from time to 
time in the Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 

Item 1.  

Business

Overview

CTG was incorporated in Buffalo, New York on March 11, 1966, and its corporate headquarters are located at 

800 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, New York 14209 (716-882-8000).  CTG is an IT solutions and staffing services 
company with operations in North America and Europe.  CTG employs approximately 3,700 people worldwide.  
During 2013, the Company had seven operating subsidiaries: Computer Task Group of Canada, Inc., providing 
services in Canada; and Computer Task Group Belgium N.V., CTG ITS S.A., Computer Task Group IT Solutions, 
S.A., Computer Task Group Luxembourg PSF, Computer Task Group (U.K.) Ltd., and etrinity N.V. (etrinity), each 
primarily providing services in Europe.  Services provided in North America are primarily performed by CTG.

Services

The Company operates in one industry segment, providing IT services to its clients.  These services include IT 

Solutions and IT Staffing.  CTG provides these primary services to all of the markets that it serves.  The services 
provided typically encompass the IT business solution life cycle, including phases for planning, developing, 
implementing, managing, and ultimately maintaining the IT solution.  A typical customer is an organization with 
large, complex information and data processing requirements.  The Company’s IT Solutions and IT Staffing services 
are further described as follows:

• 

IT Solutions: CTG’s services in this area include helping clients assess their business needs and 
identifying the right IT solutions to meet these needs.  The delivery of services includes the selection and 
implementation of packaged software and the design, development, testing, and integration of new 
systems, and the development and implementation of customized software and solutions designed to fit the 
needs of a specific client or vertical market.

Generally, IT Solutions services include taking responsibility for the service related deliverables on a project 
and may include high-end consulting services.  CTG has significant experience in implementing electronic 
medical records (EMR) systems in integrated delivery networks and other provider organizations.  CTG 

1

also provides IT services to health insurance companies, and to assist in the start-up and development of 
Health Information Exchanges (HIEs).  HIEs are consortiums of providers, payers, and government 
agencies at the local level that are charged with implementing secure community-wide electronic medical 
records.

Also included within IT Solutions is Transitional Application Management (TAM).  In 2013, the healthcare 
market accounted for most of CTG’s TAM services.  In a TAM engagement, the client hires CTG to manage 
an existing application for an extended time period, typically ranging from one to three years, while its 
internal IT staff focuses on implementation of a new application replacing the application being phased out. 
Additionally, CTG’s services in this area could include outsourcing support of single or multiple applications 
and help desk functions.  Depending on client needs, these engagements are performed either at a client or 
a CTG site.

In 2013, CTG continued to invest in and expand new IT Solutions development, primarily targeted to the 
healthcare market, which supports cost reductions and productivity improvements.  In 2011 and 2012, 
several healthcare solutions under development moved from the pilot stage of testing using live data into 
the sales process as completed tools.  In 2013, the Company continued to invest in certain of these tools to 
expand their capabilities.  These solutions include medical fraud, waste, and abuse detection and 
reduction, as well as medical care and disease management.  The Company has developed proprietary 
software to support these offerings which expands the potential market for sale and support of these 
solutions.  These solutions support both the healthcare provider and payer markets.

• 

IT Staffing: CTG recruits, retains, and manages IT talent for its clients, which are primarily large technology 
service providers and companies with multiple locations and significant need for high-volume external IT 
resources.  The Company also supports larger companies and organizations that need to augment their 
own IT staff on a flexible basis.  Our clients may require the services of our IT talent on a temporary or long-
term basis.  Our IT professionals generally work with the client’s internal IT staff at client sites.  Our 
recruiting organization works with customers to define their staffing requirements and develop competitive 
pricing to meet those requirements.

The primary focus of the Company’s staffing services is a managed services model that provides large 
clients with higher value support through cost-effective supply models customized to client needs, resource 
management support, vendor management programs, and a highly automated recruiting process and 
system with global reach.

Independent software testing is a common practice in Western Europe and represents a significant portion 
of the IT staffing services of CTG’s European operations.  This comprehensive testing offering supports IT 
environments across multiple industries.

A trend affecting the staffing industry in recent years is that large users of external technology support are 
reducing their number of approved suppliers to fewer firms with a preference for those firms able to fulfill 
high volume requirements at competitive rates and to locate resources with specialized skills on a national 
level.  CTG’s staffing services model fits this profile and it has consistently remained a preferred provider 
with large technology service providers and users that have reduced their lists of approved IT staffing 
suppliers.

IT solutions and staffing revenue as a percentage of consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 

2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

IT solutions

IT staffing

Total

2013
39.4% 41.0% 37.9%

2012

2011

60.6% 59.0% 62.1%

100.0% 100.0% 100.0%

In recent years, a major strategic focus of the Company has been to increase the amount of revenue from its 
IT solutions services, and the percentage of IT solutions revenue to total revenue, as operating margins generated 
by the IT solutions services are generally significantly higher than those of the IT staffing services.  Overall, the 
Company’s revenue decreased $5.4 million or 1.3% from 2012 to 2013 due to a general reduction in spending by 
many of our healthcare clients due to the U.S. federal government sequestration which cut Medicare 
reimbursements to hospitals and health systems beginning on April 1, 2013.  Additionally, there were cutbacks in 

2

 
our IT staffing services by our largest client as a result of the client's cost savings measures.  These cutbacks, 
however, were offset by strong demand from various of our other IT staffing services customers.  The higher margin 
IT solutions services decreased $9.2 million or 5.3% from 2012 to 2013, while IT staffing services increased $3.8 
million or 1.5% in the same period.  The Company’s operating margin in 2013 was 5.9%, which was the highest 
level since 1999.  The overall increase in operating income in 2013 from 2012 was due to strict expense control.  
The Company’s operating margin was 5.8% in 2012, and 4.9% in 2011.

Vertical Markets

The Company promotes a majority of its services through four vertical market focus areas: Healthcare (which 

includes services provided to healthcare providers, health insurers (payers), and life sciences companies), 
Technology Service Providers, Financial Services, and Energy.  The remainder of CTG’s revenue is derived from 
general markets.

CTG’s revenue by vertical market as a percentage of consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 

2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

Healthcare
Technology service providers

Financial services

Energy

General markets

Total

2013
31.4% 32.7% 29.6%

2012

2011

6.0%

6.7%

6.0%

27.8% 24.0% 23.4%

100.0% 100.0% 100.0%

The Company’s growth efforts are primarily focused in the healthcare market based on its leading position in 

serving the provider market, and its expertise and experience serving other segments of this market (payers and life 
sciences companies).  In the past several years, there had been higher demand for solutions offerings and support 
from healthcare companies, and in general, higher demand compared with other sectors of the U.S. economy.  
However, in 2013, the demand from our healthcare clients decreased.  This decrease was directly related to the 
U.S. federal government sequestration which cut Medicare reimbursements to hospitals and health systems by 2% 
starting in April.  Accordingly, the Company’s healthcare revenue decreased $7.4 million or 5.3% from 2012 to 2013. 

Revenue for the Company's technology service providers vertical market decreased significantly in 2013 as 

compared with 2012 due to sluggish demand in this vertical market and cost saving efforts implemented by our 
largest staffing client. 

During 2013, the percentage of revenue attributable to the financial services market increased from 2012, 
primarily due to the strength of the value of the Euro as compared with the U.S. dollar.  In recent years, most of 
CTG’s revenue in the financial services market was generated from its European operations.  This revenue totaled 
98.3% of the Company’s total 2013 revenue from the financial services vertical market.  Revenue in this vertical 
market fell slightly in 2012 from 2011 primarily due to weakness in the value of the Euro as compared with the U.S. 
dollar.  

Revenue for the Company's energy vertical market remained consistent as a percentage of consolidated 

revenue in 2013 as compared with 2012 as modest demand in this vertical market kept pace with the overall 
revenue decrease of the Company of approximately 1.3%. 

For the year ended December 31, 2013, CTG provided IT services to approximately 450 clients in North 
America and Europe.  In North America, the Company operates in the United States and Canada, with greater than 
99% of 2013 North American revenue generated in the United States.  In Europe, the Company operates in 
Belgium, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom.  Of total 2013 consolidated revenue of $419.0 million, 
approximately 82% was generated in North America and 18% in Europe.  One client, International Business 
Machines Corporation (IBM), accounted for greater than 10% of CTG’s consolidated revenue in 2013, 2012, and 
2011.

Pricing and Backlog

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, when the services 

have been rendered, when the price is determinable, and when collectibility of the amounts due is reasonably 
assured.  For time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized as hours are incurred and costs are expended. 
For contracts with periodic billing schedules, primarily monthly, revenue is recognized as services are rendered to 
the customer.  Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognized per the proportional method of accounting using an 
input-based approach.  On a given project, actual salary and indirect labor costs incurred are measured and 
compared against the total estimated costs of such items at the completion of the project.  Revenue is recognized 
based upon the percentage-of-completion calculation of total incurred costs to total estimated costs.  The Company 
infrequently works on fixed-price projects that include significant amounts of material or other non-labor related 
costs which could distort the percent complete within a percentage-of-completion calculation.  The Company’s 
estimate of the total labor costs it expects to incur over the term of the contract is based on the nature of the project 
and our past experience on similar projects, and includes management judgments and estimates which affect the 
amount of revenue recognized on fixed-price contracts in any accounting period.

The Company’s revenue from contracts accounted for under time-and-material, progress billing, and 
percentage-of-completion methods as a percentage of consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 
2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

Time-and-material

1.7%
100.0%

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the backlog for fixed-price and all managed-support contracts was 

approximately $44.1 million and $35.7 million, respectively.  Approximately 78.7% or $34.7 million of the 
December 31, 2013 backlog is expected to be earned in 2014.  Of the $35.7 million of backlog at December 31, 
2012, approximately 59.0%, or $21.1 million was earned in 2013.  Revenue is subject to slight seasonal variations, 
with a minor slowdown in months of high vacation and legal holidays (July, August, and December).  Backlog does 
not tend to be seasonal; however, it does fluctuate based upon the timing of entry into long-term contracts.

Competition

The IT services market, for both IT solutions and IT staffing services, is highly competitive.  The market is also 
highly fragmented with many providers and no single competitor maintaining clear market leadership.  Competition 
varies by location, the type of service provided, and the customer to whom services are provided.  The Company’s 
competition comes from four major channels: large national or international vendors, including major accounting 
and consulting firms; hardware vendors and suppliers of packaged software systems; small local firms or individuals 
specializing in specific programming services or applications; and from a customer’s internal IT staff.  CTG 
competes against all four of these channels for its share of the market.  The Company believes that to compete 
successfully it is necessary to have a local geographic presence, offer appropriate IT solutions, provide skilled 
professional resources, and price its services competitively.

CTG has implemented a Global Management System, with the goal to achieve continuous, measured 

improvements in services and deliverables.  As part of this program, CTG has developed specific methodologies for 
providing high value services that result in unique solutions and specified deliverables for its clients.  The Company 
believes these methodologies will enhance its ability to compete.  CTG initially achieved worldwide ISO 9001:1994 
certification in June 2000.  CTG received its worldwide ISO 9001:2000 certification in January 2003.  The Company 
believes it is the only IT services company of its size to achieve worldwide certification.

Intellectual Property

The Company has registered its symbol and logo with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and has taken 
steps to preserve its rights in other countries where it operates.  We regard patents, trademarks, copyrights and 
other intellectual property as important to our success, and we rely on them in the United States and foreign 
countries to protect our investments in products and technology.  Our patents expire at various times, but we 
believe that the loss or expiration of any individual patent would not materially affect our business.  We, like any 

4

 
other company, may be subject to claims of alleged infringement of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual 
property rights of third parties from time to time in the ordinary course of business.  CTG has entered into 
agreements with various software and hardware vendors from time to time in the normal course of business, and 
has capitalized certain costs under software development projects.

Employees

CTG’s business depends on the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified professional staff to provide 
services to its customers.  The Company has a structured recruiting organization that works with its clients to meet 
their requirements by recruiting and providing high quality, motivated staff.  The Company employs approximately 
3,700 employees worldwide, with approximately 3,100 in the United States and Canada and 600 in Europe.  Of 
these employees, approximately 3,400 are IT professionals and 300 are individuals who work in sales, recruiting, 
delivery, administrative and support positions.  The Company believes that its relationship with its employees is 
good.  No employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement or are represented by a labor union.  CTG 
is an equal opportunity employer.

Item 1A.  

Risk Factors

The following risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and the forward-

looking information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The risk factors below represent what we 
believe are the known material risk factors with respect to the Company and our business.  Any of the following 
risks could materially adversely affect our business, our operations, the industry in which we operate, our financial 
position or our future financial results.

Our business depends on the availability of a large number of highly qualified IT professionals and 

our ability to recruit and retain these professionals.

We actively compete with many other IT service providers for qualified professional staff.  The availability of 

qualified professional staff may affect our ability to provide services and meet the needs of our customers in the 
future.  An inability to fulfill customer requirements at agreed upon rates due to a lack of available qualified staff may 
adversely impact our revenue and operating results in the future.

Increased competition and the bargaining power of our large customers may cause our billing rates to 

decline, which would have an adverse effect on our revenue and, if we are unable to control our personnel 
costs accordingly, on our margins and operating results.

We have experienced reductions in the rates at which we bill some of our larger customers for services during 
previous highly competitive market conditions.  Additionally, we actively compete against many other companies for 
business with new and existing clients.  Bill rate reductions or competitive pressures may lead to a decline in 
revenue or the rates we bill our customers for services.  If we are unable to make commensurate reductions in our 
personnel costs, our margins and operating results in the future may be adversely affected.

Liability or damage to our reputation could arise if we fail to protect client and Company data or 
information systems as obligated by law or contract if our information systems are breached, or we fail to 
perform under related customer contracts.

As a company operating in the IT and professional services industry, we are dependent on information 

technology networks and systems to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to communicate among 
our locations within the United States and around the world, as well as with our clients and vendors.  Although the 
Company has had no significant prior cyber incidents, and we believe the likelihood of the occurrence of such 
incidents is low, the breadth and complexity of our technological infrastructure increases the potential risk of 
security breaches.  Such breaches could lead to shutdowns or disruptions of our systems and potential 
unauthorized disclosure of confidential information such as protected health information (PHI) under the Health 
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).  The Company’s failure to protect PHI covered under 
HIPAA could result in fines and penalties which could have a material, adverse impact on us.  Additionally, if we fail 
to perform under related customer contracts, damage to our reputation could occur, which could have an adverse 
impact on our ability to sign contracts with such customers, or recruit qualified personnel to perform our services, in 
the future.

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from a single customer and a significant reduction in 

the amount of IT services requested by this customer would have an adverse effect on our revenue and 
operating results.

IBM is CTG’s largest customer.  CTG provides services to various IBM divisions in many locations. During 
2011, the National Technical Services Agreement (NTS Agreement) with IBM was renewed for three years until 
December 31, 2014.  In 2013, 2012, and 2011, IBM accounted for $101.0 million or 24.1%, $113.5 million or 26.7%, 
and $116.5 million or 29.4% of the Company’s consolidated revenue, respectively.  No other customer accounted 
for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue in 2013, 2012 or 2011.  The Company’s accounts receivable from 
IBM at December 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $11.0 million and $12.6 million, respectively.  In January 2014, 
IBM announced its intention to spin off its x86 server division to Lenovo.  A portion of the Company's 2013 revenue 
from IBM was related to the x86 server division.  The Company expects to retain a significant portion of the revenue 
derived from the x86 server division despite the transition of the division from IBM to Lenovo.  If IBM were to 
significantly reduce the amount of IT services they purchase from the Company, our revenue and operating results 
would be adversely affected.

The currency exchange, legislative, tax, regulatory and economic risks associated with international 

operations could have an adverse effect on our operating results if we are unable to mitigate or hedge 
these risks.

We have operations in the United States and Canada in North America, and in Belgium, Luxembourg, and the 

United Kingdom in Europe.  Although our foreign operations conduct their business in their local currencies, these 
operations are subject to their own currency fluctuations, legislation, employment and tax law changes, and 
economic climates.  These factors as they relate to our foreign operations are different than those of the United 
States.  Although we actively manage these foreign operations with local management teams, our overall operating 
results may be negatively affected by local economic conditions, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, or 
tax, regulatory or other economic changes beyond our control.

Our customer contracts generally have a short term or are terminable on short notice and a significant 

number of failures to renew contracts, early terminations or renegotiations of our existing customer 
contracts could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our clients typically retain us on a non-exclusive, engagement-by-engagement basis, rather than under 
exclusive long-term contracts.  We performed 88.8% of our services on a time-and-materials basis during 2013.  As 
such, our customers generally have the right to terminate a contract with us upon written notice without the payment 
of any financial penalty.  Client projects may involve multiple engagements or stages, and there is a risk that a client 
may choose not to retain us for additional stages of a project, or that a client will cancel or delay additional planned 
engagements.  These terminations, cancellations or delays could result from factors that are beyond our control and 
are unrelated to our work product or the progress of the project, but could be related to business or financial 
conditions of the client, changes in client strategies or the economy in general.  When contracts are terminated, we 
lose the anticipated future revenue and we may not be able to eliminate the associated costs required to support 
those contracts in a timely manner.  Consequently, our operating results in subsequent periods may be lower than 
expected.  Our clients can cancel or reduce the scope of their engagements with us on short notice.  If they do so, 
we may be unable to reassign our professionals to new engagements without delay.  The cancellation or reduction 
in scope of an engagement could, therefore, reduce the utilization rate of our professionals, which would have a 
negative impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. As a result of these and other 
factors, our past financial performance should not be relied on as a guarantee of similar or better future 
performance.  Due to these factors, we believe that our results from operations may fluctuate from period to period 
in the future.

A significant portion of our total assets consists of goodwill, which is subject to a periodic impairment 

analysis and a significant impairment determination in any future period could have an adverse effect on 
our results of operations even without a significant loss of revenue or increase in cash expenses 
attributable to such period.

We have goodwill recorded totaling approximately $37.6 million at December 31, 2013.  At least annually, we 

evaluate this goodwill for impairment based on the fair value of the business operations to which this goodwill 
relates.  This estimated fair value could change if there is a significant decrease in the enterprise value of CTG, if 
we are unable to achieve operating results at the levels that have been forecasted, the market valuation of  
transactions involving similar companies decreases which could occur given the economic downturn in recent years 
in the countries in which the Company operates, or there is a permanent, negative change in the market demand 
for the services offered by this business unit.  These changes could result in an impairment of the existing goodwill 
balance that could require a material non-cash charge which would have an adverse impact on our results of 
operations.

Changes in government regulations and laws affecting the IT services industry, and the industries in 

which our clients operate , including accounting principles and interpretations, and the taxation of 
domestic operations could adversely affect our results of operations.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including 

the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Patient 
Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), and new SEC regulations, create uncertainty for companies such as 
ours.  These new or updated laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations which, in many 
instances, is due to their lack of specificity.  As a result, the application of these new standards and regulations in 
practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies.  This could result in 
continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to 
disclosure and governance practices.  We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance 

9

and public disclosure.  As a result, our efforts to comply with evolving laws, tax regulations and other standards 
have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a 
diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.  In 
particular, our continuing efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related 
regulations regarding our required assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting and our independent 
auditors’ audit of internal control require the commitment of significant internal, financial and managerial resources.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the SEC, and the Public Company Accounting Oversight 
Board (PCAOB) or other accounting rule making authorities may issue new accounting rules or auditing standards 
that are different than those that we presently apply to our financial results.  Such new accounting rules or auditing 
standards could require significant changes from the way we currently report our financial condition, results of 
operations or cash flows.

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been the subject of frequent changes in interpretations.  
As a result of the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the review of accounting policies by the SEC 
as well as by national and international accounting standards bodies, the frequency of future accounting policy 
changes may accelerate.  Such future changes in financial accounting standards may have a significant effect on 
our reported results of operations, including results of transactions entered into before the effective date of the 
changes.

The Company currently offers limited healthcare coverage to its hourly employees, which includes nearly half 
of its total employees.  Under the PPACA, the Company will be required to offer expanded healthcare coverage to 
those employees, or potentially pay financial penalties.  The Company intends to pass these additional costs on to 
its customers.  However, in the event the Company is not able to pass some or all of these costs to its customers, 
the Company’s operating results could be negatively impacted when the legislation goes into effect in 2015.

We are subject to income and other taxes in the United States (federal and state) and numerous foreign 
jurisdictions.  Our provisions for income and other taxes and our tax liabilities in the future could be adversely 
affected by numerous factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, income before taxes being lower than 
anticipated in countries with lower statutory tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries with higher statutory 
tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in various federal, state and 
international tax laws, regulations, accounting principles or interpretations thereof, which could adversely impact our 
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in future periods.

During 2013 and 2012, the Company experienced higher unemployment tax rates in many of the states in 

which we do business, which increased our direct costs and negatively impacted our profitability.  Considering 
current economic conditions in the U.S., the Company expects these rates will not significantly change in 2014 and 
future years.

Each year, the U.S. government enacts or fails to enact legislation based upon the current political climate.  

On an annual basis, Congress must approve and the President must sign the appropriation bills which govern 
spending by each of the federal agencies, which could impact the industries to which we provide services.  If 
Congress is unable to agree on budget priorities and is unable to appropriate funds or pass the annual budget on a 
timely basis, there may be delays, reductions or cessations of funding to our clients, thereby reducing their demand 
for our services.  In addition, from time to time it has been necessary for Congress to raise the U.S. debt ceiling in 
order to allow for borrowing necessary to fund government operations.  If Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling on 
a timely basis, or if legislatively mandated cuts in federal programs, known as sequestration, occur, there may be 
delays, reductions or cessation of funding to our clients.

If we repatriate our cash balances from our foreign operations, we may be subject to additional tax 

liabilities.

We earn a portion of our operating income outside of the United States, and any repatriation of funds currently 

held in foreign jurisdictions to the United States may result in higher effective tax rates and additional tax liabilities 
for the Company.  In addition, there have been proposals to change the tax laws in the United States that would 
significantly impact how United States based multinational corporations are taxed on foreign earnings.  Although we 
cannot predict whether or in what form, or in what time frame, any proposed legislation may be passed, if enacted, 
these tax laws could have a material adverse impact on our tax expense and cash flows.

10

Existing and potential customers may outsource or consider outsourcing their IT requirements to 

foreign countries in which we may not currently have operations, which could have an adverse effect on 
our ability to obtain new customers or retain existing customers.

In the past few years, more companies have started using, or are considering using, low cost offshore 
outsourcing centers to perform technology-related work and complete projects.  Currently, we have partnered with 
clients to perform services in Russia to mitigate and reduce this risk to our Company.  However, the risk of 
additional increases in the future in the outsourcing of IT solutions overseas to countries where we do not have 
operations could have a material, negative impact on our future operations.

The introduction of new IT products or services may render our existing IT Solutions or IT Staffing 
offerings to be obsolete, which, if we are unable to keep pace with these corresponding changes, could 
have an adverse effect on our business.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to implement and deliver IT Solutions or IT Staffing services that 

anticipate and keep pace with rapid and continuing changes in technology, industry standards and client 
preferences.  We may not be successful in anticipating or responding to these developments on a timely basis, and 
our offerings may not be successful in the marketplace.  Also, services, solutions and technologies developed by 
our competitors may make our solutions or staffing offerings uncompetitive or obsolete.  Any one of these 
circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our ability to obtain and successfully complete client 
engagements.

Decreases in demand for IT solutions and staffing services in the future would cause an adverse effect 

on our revenue and operating results.

The Company’s revenue and operating results are significantly affected by changes in demand for its services. 
In recent years, the U.S. economy, where the Company performs greater than 80% of its total business based upon 
revenue, significantly deteriorated primarily due to subprime mortgage issues, financial market conditions, and other 
economic concerns.  In 2009, these economic pressures also extended to the European markets where the 
Company operates.  These negative pressures on the economy led to a worldwide contraction of the credit 
markets, more severe recessionary conditions, and a decline in demand for the Company’s services which 
negatively affected the Company’s revenue and operating results in 2009 as compared with 2008.  Economic 
pressures also led to customers’ reducing their spending on IT projects and external professional services. 
Economic conditions in 2010 through 2013 stabilized in the U.S., and in 2013 began to improve in Europe. Declines 
in spending for IT services in 2014 or future years may adversely affect our operating results in the future as they 
have in the past.

The IT services industry is highly competitive and fragmented, which means that our customers have 

a number of choices for providers of IT services and we may not be able to compete effectively.

The market for our services is highly competitive.  The market is fragmented, and no company holds a 
dominant position.  Consequently, our competition for client requirements and experienced personnel varies 
significantly by geographic area and by the type of service provided.  Some of our competitors are larger and have 
greater technical, financial, and marketing resources and greater name recognition than we have in the markets we 
collectively serve.  In addition, clients may elect to increase their internal IT systems resources to satisfy their 
custom software development and integration needs.  Finally, our industry is being impacted by the growing use of 
lower-cost offshore delivery capabilities (primarily India and other parts of Asia).  There can be no assurance that 
we will be able to continue to compete successfully with existing or future competitors or that future competition will 
not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Changing economic conditions and the effect of such changes on accounting estimates could have a 

material impact on our results of operations.

The Company has also made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of its assets 

and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare its consolidated financial statements 
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and other accounting rulemaking authorities.  Such estimates 
primarily relate to the valuation of goodwill, the valuation of stock options for recording equity-based compensation 
expense, allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, investment valuation, valuation allowances for deferred tax 
assets, legal matters, other contingencies and estimates of progress toward completion and direct profit or loss on 
contracts, as applicable.  As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results 
could differ from these estimates.  Changes in the economic climates in which the Company operates may affect 

11

these estimates and will be reflected in the Company’s financial statements in the event they occur.  Such changes 
could result in a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Properties

The Company owns and occupies its headquarters building at 800 Delaware Avenue, and an office building at 

700 Delaware Avenue, both located in Buffalo, New York.  These buildings are operated by CTG of Buffalo, a 
subsidiary of the Company which is part of the Company’s North American operations.  The corporate headquarters 
consists of approximately 48,000 square feet and is occupied by corporate administrative operations.  The office 
building consists of approximately 42,000 square feet and is also occupied by corporate administrative operations. 
At December 31, 2013, these properties were not mortgaged as part of the Company’s existing revolving credit 
agreement.

All of the remaining Company locations, totaling approximately 20 sites, are leased facilities.  Most of these 
facilities are located in the United States, with approximately five of these locations in Europe in the countries of 
Belgium, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom, where our European operations are located.  These facilities 
generally serve as sales and support offices and their size varies with the number of people employed at each 
office, ranging from 300 to 26,000 square feet.  The Company’s lease terms generally vary from periods of less than 
a year to five years and typically have flexible renewal options.  The Company believes that its presently owned and 
leased facilities are adequate to support its current and anticipated future needs.

Item 3.  

Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the 

ordinary course of business.  Although the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings involving the Company and its 
subsidiaries cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such 
lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, management does not expect these matters, if any, to 
have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

On February 21, 2014, there were 1,624 holders of record of the Company’s common shares.  Although the 

Company had not paid a dividend since 2000, it initiated a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common share in March 
2013.  The Company is required to meet certain financial covenants under its current revolving credit agreement in 
order to pay dividends.  The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants at each of December 31, 
2011, 2012 and 2013.  For additional information regarding such financial covenants, see Item 7, "Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Financial Condition and Liquidity."  The 
determination of the timing, amount and the continuation of the payment of dividends in the future on the

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This annual report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements made by the management of Computer 

Task Group, Incorporated (CTG, the Company or the Registrant) that are subject to a number of risks and 
uncertainties.  These forward-looking statements are based on information as of the date of this report.  The 
Company assumes no obligation to update these statements based on information from and after the date of this 
report.  Generally, forward-looking statements include words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “believes,” 
“estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “will” and words and phrases 
of similar impact.  The forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future 
operations, industry trends or conditions and the business environment, and statements regarding future levels of, 
or trends in, revenue, operating expenses, capital expenditures, and financing.  The forward-looking statements are 
made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Numerous factors 
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including the following: 
(i) the availability to CTG of qualified professional staff,  (ii) domestic and foreign industry competition for customers 
and talent, (iii) the Company's ability to protect confidential client data, (iv) the partial or complete loss of the 
revenue the Company generates from International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), (v) risks associated with 
operating in foreign jurisdictions, (vi) renegotiations, nullification, or breaches of contracts with customers, vendors, 
subcontractors or other parties, (vii) the change in valuation of recorded goodwill balances, (viii) the impact of 
current and future laws and government regulation, as well as repeal or modification of such, affecting the 
information technology (IT) solutions and staffing industry, taxes and the Company's operations in particular, 
(ix) industry and economic conditions, including fluctuations in demand for IT services, (x) consolidation among the 
Company's competitors or customers,  (xi) the need to supplement or change our IT services in response to new 
offerings in the industry, and (xii) the risks described in Item 1A of this annual report on Form 10-K and from time to 
time in the Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 

Industry Trends

The market demand for the Company’s services is heavily dependent on IT spending by major corporations, 

organizations and government entities in the markets and regions that we serve.  The pace of technology advances 
and changes in business requirements and practices of our clients all have a significant impact on the demand for 
the services that we provide.  Competition for new engagements and pricing pressure has been strong.  In 2011, we 
experienced an increase in demand for our services, primarily in the healthcare provider solution and general IT 
staffing businesses.  While demand in our healthcare vertical market remained strong in 2012, demand for our IT 
staffing services was modest which limited revenue growth for these services in 2012 as compared with 2011.  
During 2013, however, the demand for our services softened from prior years as demand from our healthcare 
clients was down, as were requirements for personnel received from our largest staffing customer.

The Company operates in one industry segment, providing IT services to its clients. These services include IT 

solutions and IT staffing.  With IT solutions services, we generally take responsibility for the deliverables on a 
project and the services may include high-end consulting services.  When providing IT staffing services, we typically 
supply personnel to our customers who then, in turn, take their direction from the client’s managers.  IT solutions 
and IT staffing revenue as a percentage of consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 
and 2011 is as follows:

The Company promotes a majority of its services through four vertical market focus areas: Healthcare (which 

includes services provided to healthcare providers, health insurers, and life sciences companies), Technology 
Service Providers, Financial Services, and Energy.  The remainder of CTG’s revenue is derived from general 
markets.

The IT services industry is extremely competitive and characterized by continuous changes in customer 
requirements and improvements in technologies.  Our competition varies significantly by geographic region, as well 
as by the type of service provided.  Many of our competitors are larger than CTG, and have greater financial, 
technical, sales and marketing resources.  In addition, the Company frequently competes with a client’s own 
internal IT staff.  Our industry is being impacted by the growing use of lower-cost offshore delivery capabilities 
(primarily India and other parts of Asia).  There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to compete 
successfully with existing or future competitors or that future competition will not have a material adverse effect on 
our results of operations and financial condition.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, when the services 

have been rendered, when the price is determinable, and when collectibility of the amounts due is reasonably 
assured.  For time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized as hours are incurred and costs are expended. 
For contracts with periodic billing schedules, primarily monthly, revenue is recognized as services are rendered to 
the customer.  Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognized per the proportional method of accounting using an 
input-based approach.  On a given project, actual salary and indirect labor costs incurred are measured and 
compared against the total estimated costs of such items at the completion of the project.  Revenue is recognized 
based upon the percentage-of-completion calculation of total incurred costs to total estimated costs.  The Company 
infrequently works on fixed-price projects that include significant amounts of material or other non-labor related 
costs which could distort the percent complete within a percentage-of-completion calculation.  The Company’s 
estimate of the total labor costs it expects to incur over the term of the contract is based on the nature of the project 
and our past experience on similar projects, and includes management judgments and estimates which affect the 
amount of revenue recognized on fixed-price contracts in any accounting period.

From 2011 to 2013, the Company performed services for a customer under a series of contracts that provided 

for application customization and integration services, specifically utilizing one of the software tools the Company 
has developed for internal use.  These services were provided under a software-as-a-service model.  As the 
contracts were closely interrelated and dependent on each other, for accounting purposes the contracts were 
considered to be one arrangement.  As the project included significant modification and customization services to 
transform the previously developed software tool into an expanded tool intended to meet the customer’s 
requirements, the percentage-of-completion method of contract accounting was utilized for the project. 

The Company’s revenue from contracts accounted for under time-and-material, progress billing, and 
percentage-of-completion methods as a percentage of consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31,

Reimbursable expenses billed to customers and included in revenue totaled $11.8 million and $13.4 million in 

2013 and 2012, respectively.

In North America, the revenue decrease in 2013 as compared with 2012 was due to a reduction in demand 

from our healthcare customers and from our largest IT staffing customer.  On a consolidated basis, IT solutions 
revenue decreased $9.2 million or 5.3% in 2013 as compared with 2012.  The decrease was primarily driven by the 
sequestration that the U.S. federal government imposed during 2013, which, amongst other cuts, reduced Medicare 
reimbursements to hospitals and healthcare systems by 2% beginning on April 1, 2013.  These cuts reduced 
revenue for many of our healthcare customers, causing them to reduce their expenses for much of 2013, including 
previously planned spending on IT projects.  IT staffing revenue increased $3.8 million or 1.5% during 2013 as soft 
demand from our largest IT staffing customer was offset by strong demand from our other IT staffing customers. 

The Company’s European operations include Belgium, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom.  When 
considering the year-over-year change in revenue in constant currencies, the revenue from our European 
operations increased 9.0%.  This strong increase in year-over-year revenue was in part due to strength in the 
Company’s European IT solutions services, and in part by the acquisition of etrinity which added approximately $2.8 
million in revenue during the year.  The revenue increase was supported by the strength relative to the U.S. dollar of 
the currencies of Belgium and Luxembourg, and slightly offset by the currency of the United Kingdom.  In Belgium 
and Luxembourg, the functional currency is the Euro, while in the United Kingdom the functional currency is the 
British Pound.  In 2013 as compared with 2012, the average value of the Euro increased 3.3%, while the average 
value of the British Pound decreased 1.3%.  A significant portion of the Company's revenue from its European 
operations is generated in Belgium and Luxembourg.  Had there been no change in these exchange rates from 
2012 to 2013, total European revenue would have been approximately $2.3 million lower, or $74.8 million as 
compared with the $77.1 million reported.

IBM is CTG’s largest customer.  CTG provides services to various IBM divisions in many locations.  During  

2011, the NTS Agreement with IBM was renewed for three years until December 31, 2014.  As part of the NTS 
Agreement, the Company also provides its services as a predominant supplier to IBM’s Integrated Technology 
Services unit and as the sole provider to the Systems and Technology Group business unit.  This agreement 
accounted for approximately 92.3% of all of the services provided to IBM by the Company in 2013.  In 2013, 2012, 
and 2011, IBM accounted for $101.0 million or 24.1%, $113.5 million or 26.7%, and $116.5 million or 29.4% of the 
Company’s consolidated revenue, respectively.   In 2012, IBM spun its retail business off to another large company.  
While CTG retained the work, this reduced our revenue from IBM in 2012 by $3.2 million.  We expect to continue to 
derive a significant portion of our revenue from IBM in future years.  However, a significant decline or the loss of the 
revenue from IBM would have a significant negative effect on our operating results.  

In January 2014, IBM announced its intention to spin off its x86 server division to Lenovo.  A portion of the 

Company's 2013 revenue from IBM was related to the x86 server division.  The Company expects to retain a 
significant share of the revenue derived from the x86 server division despite the transition of the division from IBM 
to Lenovo.  

The Company’s accounts receivable from IBM at December 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $11.0 million and 

$12.6 million, respectively.  No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue in 2013, 
2012 or 2011.

Direct costs, defined as costs for billable staff including billable out-of-pocket expenses, were 78.8% of 
consolidated revenue in 2013 and 78.4% of consolidated revenue in 2012.  The increase in direct costs as a 
percentage of revenue in 2013 compared with 2012 was due to a shift in the Company's business mix to a higher 
percentage of IT staffing services, which has a higher direct cost as a percentage of revenue than our IT solutions 
services.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were 15.3% of revenue in 2013 as compared with 

15.8% of revenue in 2012.  The SG&A decrease as a percentage of revenue in 2013 as compared with 2012 is 
primarily due to lower levels of personnel incentives earned in 2013, and continued disciplined cost management.

Operating income was 5.9% of revenue in 2013 as compared with 5.8% of revenue in 2012.  The increase in 

operating income year-over-year was primarily due to the lower SG&A costs as a percentage of revenue.  
Operating income from North American operations was $21.8 million and $21.3 million in 2013 and 2012, 
respectively, while European operations generated operating income of $2.9 million and $3.2 million in 2013 and 
2012, respectively.  Operating income in 2013 in the Company’s European operations would have been 
approximately $0.1 million lower if there had been no change in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year.

Interest and other income (expense), net was (0.1)% of revenue in 2013 and 0.2% in 2012.  Net other income 

in 2012 primarily resulted from the receipt of life insurance proceeds totaling approximately $1.3 million for two 
former executives that passed away during 2012.  This income in 2012 was partially offset by bank fees.  

The Company’s effective tax rate (ETR) is calculated based upon the full year's operating results, and various 

tax related items.  The Company’s normal ETR ranges from 38% to 40%.  The ETR in 2013 was 35.6%, while the 
2012 ETR was 36.5%.  The 2013 ETR was lower than the normal range primarily due to the recording of 
approximately $0.7 million of tax credits related to research and development activities, and approximately $0.4 
million of tax credits related to the Company’s participation in the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) program 
offered by the federal government to companies who have hired individuals who have traditionally faced barriers to 
employment.  The tax benefit for these two items for both 2013 and 2012 was recorded in 2013 as required under 
current accounting guidelines, as the legislation extending these tax credits, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 
2012, was not passed by the U.S. federal government until January 2013.  The benefit of these tax credits was 
partially offset by an increase of approximately $0.1 million in the valuation allowance associated with net operating 
losses incurred by certain foreign subsidiaries.  The 2012 ETR was lower than the normal range due to 
approximately $0.5 million in tax expense related to non-taxable life insurance proceeds received during the year.  
In addition, in 2012 the Company recorded an additional $0.2 million reduction of state tax expense as a result of 
the recording of certain favorable provision-to-return adjustments associated with the Company’s 2011 income tax 
returns. 

Net income for 2013 was 3.7% of revenue or $0.92 per diluted share, compared with net income of 3.8% of 

revenue or $0.96 per diluted share in 2012.  Diluted earnings per share were calculated using 17.0 million 
weighted-average equivalent shares outstanding in 2013 and 16.8 million in 2012.  The increase in shares year-
over-year is due to additional actual shares outstanding during 2013 as compared with 2012 due to a high number 
21

of stock option exercises by optionees in 2012 and 2013.  This increase in the number of shares outstanding was 
partially offset by purchases of approximately 0.4 million  and 0.3 million shares for treasury by the Company during 
2013 and 2012, respectively.

 Reimbursable expenses billed to customers and included in revenue totaled $13.4 million and $12.7 million in 

2012 and 2011, respectively.

In North America, the significant revenue increase in 2012 as compared with 2011 was due to strong demand 
for the Company’s IT solutions services.  On a consolidated basis, IT solutions revenue increased $26.4 million or 
17.9%, and was primarily driven by an increase in the Company's EMR work for providers in the healthcare vertical 
market in North America.  IT staffing revenue increased $1.8 million or 0.7% as demand for these services 
significantly slowed due to challenging economic conditions in the United States.   

The Company’s European operations include Belgium, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom.  The increase in 

year-over-year revenue in the Company’s European operations was primarily due to modest strength in the 
Company’s European IT solutions services.  When considering the year-over-year change in revenue in constant 
currencies, the revenue from our European operations increased 10.9%.  This revenue increase was offset by the 
weakness relative to the U.S. dollar of the currencies of Belgium, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom.  In 
Belgium and Luxembourg, the functional currency is the Euro, while in the United Kingdom the functional currency 
is the British Pound.  In 2012 as compared with 2011, the average value of the Euro decreased 7.7%, while the 
average value of the British Pound decreased 1.2%.  A significant portion of the Company's revenue from its 
European operations is generated in Belgium and Luxembourg.  Had there been no change in these exchange 
rates from 2011 to 2012, total European revenue would have been approximately $5.4 million higher, or $74.0 
million as compared with the $68.6 million reported.

As noted above, IBM is CTG’s largest customer, and CTG provides services to various IBM divisions in many 

locations.  During the 2011 fourth quarter, the NTS Agreement was renewed for three years until December 31, 
2014.  As part of the NTS Agreement, the Company also provides its services as a predominant supplier to IBM’s 
Integrated Technology Services unit and as the sole provider to the Systems and Technology Group business unit.  
These agreements accounted for approximately 91.9% of all of the services provided to IBM by the Company in 
2012.  In 2012, 2011, and 2010, IBM accounted for $113.5 million or 26.7%, $116.5 million or 29.4%, and $102.3 
million or 30.9% of the Company’s consolidated revenue, respectively.  In 2012, IBM spun its retail business off into 
another large company.  While CTG retained the work, this reduced our revenue from IBM in 2012 by $3.2 million.  
The Company’s accounts receivable from IBM at December 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $12.6 million and 
$12.8 million, respectively.  No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue in 2012, 
2011 or 2010.

Direct costs were 78.4% of consolidated revenue in 2012 and 78.7% of consolidated revenue in 2011.  The 
decrease in direct costs as a percentage of revenue in 2012 compared with 2011 was due to a continued shift in the 
Company's business mix to a higher percentage of solutions services, which incurs lower direct costs as a 
percentage of revenue than the Company's staffing services.

SG&A expenses were 15.8% of revenue in 2012 as compared with 16.4% of revenue in 2011.  The SG&A 

decrease as a percentage of revenue in 2012 as compared with 2011 is primarily due to disciplined cost 
management and the effect of operating leverage resulting from revenue growth.

22

Operating income was 5.8% of revenue in 2012 as compared with 4.9% of revenue in 2011.  The increase in 

operating income year-over-year was primarily due to the favorable change in business mix to more solutions 
services in 2012, and lower SG&A costs as a percentage of revenue.  Operating income from North American 
operations was $21.3 million  and $16.6 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, while European operations 
generated operating income of $3.2 million and $2.7 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Operating income in 
2012 would have been approximately $0.2 million higher if there had been no change in foreign currency exchange 
rates year-over-year.

Interest and other income (expense), net was 0.2% of revenue in 2012 and (0.1)% in 2011.  Net other income 

in 2012 primarily resulted from the receipt of life insurance proceeds totaling approximately $1.3 million for two 
former executives who passed away during 2012.  This income in 2012 was partially offset by bank fees.  In 2011, 
partially offsetting net interest and other expenses which resulted from bank fees and a loss on intercompany 
balances settled or intended to be settled at year-end, was approximately $0.1 million resulting from a gain on a 
sale of property.

The 2012 ETR was 36.5%, and the 2011 ETR was 37.6%.  The ETR in 2012 was lower due to approximately 
$0.5 million in tax expense related to non-taxable life insurance proceeds received during the year.  In addition, the 
Company recorded an additional $0.2 million reduction of state tax expense as a result of the recording of certain 
favorable provision-to-return adjustments associated with the Company's 2011 income tax returns.  The ETR during 
2011 was reduced as the Company recorded $0.3 million of tax credits related to research and development 
activities, and $0.3 million of federal tax credits related to the retention of certain individuals hired during 2010.  The 
impact of these credits was partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance of $0.2 million associated with 
net operating losses incurred by certain foreign subsidiaries.

The Company did not record a tax benefit for its research and development activities during 2012 as the 
legislation extending the tax credit related to these expenses, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, was not 
passed by the U.S. federal government until January 2013.  As required under current accounting guidelines, the 
Company recognized a tax benefit of $0.3 million for these 2012 credits in the 2013 first quarter.

Net income for 2012 was 3.8% of revenue or $0.96 per diluted share, compared with net income of 3.0% of 

revenue or $0.71 per diluted share in 2011.  Diluted earnings per share were calculated using 16.8 million weighted-
average equivalent shares outstanding in 2012 and 16.7 million in 2011.  The increase in shares year-over-year 
was due to the dilutive effect of incremental shares outstanding under the Company’s equity-based compensation 
plans.  This increase was partially offset by purchases of approximately 0.3 million shares for treasury by the 
Company during 2012.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted 
accounting principles requires the Company’s management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that 
affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  The Company’s 
significant accounting policies are included in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in this 
annual report on Form 10-K under Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”  These policies, along 
with the underlying assumptions and judgments made by the Company’s management in their application, have a 
significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The Company identifies its most critical 
accounting policies as those that are the most pervasive and important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial 
position and results of operations, and that require the most difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments by 
management regarding estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.  The Company’s critical accounting 
policies are those related to goodwill valuation, and the valuation allowance for deferred income taxes.

Goodwill Valuation

The Company has a goodwill balance of $37.6 million related to its healthcare vertical market recorded 

as of December 31, 2013.  This balance reflects an increase of approximately $2.0 million in 2013 due to the 
acquisition of etrinity, a provider of IT services to the healthcare market in Belgium and the Netherlands.  

The balance is evaluated annually as of the Company’s October fiscal month-end (the measurement 

date), or more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate impairment may exist.  This evaluation, as 
applicable, is based on estimates and assumptions that may be used to analyze the appraised value of similar 
transactions from which the goodwill arose, the appraised value of similar companies, or estimates of future 
discounted cash flows.  The estimates and assumptions on which the Company’s evaluations are based 

23

 
involve judgments and are based on currently available information, any of which could prove wrong or 
inaccurate when made, or become wrong or inaccurate as a result of subsequent events.

At the respective measurement dates for 2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company completed its annual 

valuation of the business to which the Company’s goodwill relates.  During 2013 and 2012, the Company 
utilized the provisions under Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other 
(Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” which allow public entities to first assess qualitative factors to 
determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test.  Under this 
process, an entity is no longer required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the qualitative 
assessment shows that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount.  During 
2011, the company utilized the assistance of an independent third party appraiser to complete its review.

 The 2011 valuation indicated that the estimated fair value of the business was substantially in excess 
of its carrying value, with the estimated fair value of the unit exceeding the carrying value by 116%.  From its 
internal reviews completed in 2013 and 2012, the Company believes the fair value of the business continues 
to be substantially in excess of the carrying value of the business.  Additionally, there are no other facts or 
circumstances which arose during 2013, 2012 or 2011 that led management to believe the goodwill balance 
was impaired.

Income Taxes—Valuation Allowances on Deferred Tax Assets

At December 31, 2013, the Company had a total of approximately $7.5 million of current and non-

current deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, recorded on its consolidated balance sheet.  The 
deferred tax assets, net, primarily consist of deferred compensation, loss carryforwards and state taxes.  The 
changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities from period to period are determined based upon the changes in 
differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the basis of assets 
and liabilities for tax purposes, as measured by the enacted tax rates when these differences are estimated to 
reverse.  The Company has made certain assumptions regarding the timing of the reversal of these assets 
and liabilities, and whether taxable income in future periods will be sufficient to recognize all or a part of any 
gross deferred tax asset of the Company.

At December 31, 2013, the Company had deferred tax assets recorded resulting from net operating 
losses in previous years totaling approximately $1.2 million.  The Company has analyzed each jurisdiction’s 
tax position, including forecasting potential taxable income in future periods and the expiration of the net 
operating loss carryforwards as applicable, and determined that it is unclear whether all of these deferred tax 
assets will be realized at any point in the future.  Accordingly, at December 31, 2013, the Company had offset 
a portion of these assets with a valuation allowance totaling approximately $1.1 million, resulting in a net 
deferred tax asset from net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $0.1 million.

The Company’s deferred tax assets and their potential realizability are evaluated each quarter to 
determine if any changes should be made to the valuation allowance.  Any change in the valuation allowance 
in the future could result in a change in the Company’s ETR.  A 1% change in the ETR in 2013 would have 
increased or decreased net income by approximately $243,390, or approximately $0.01 per diluted share.

Other Estimates

The Company has also made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of its 

assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare the consolidated financial 
statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, the FASB, and other regulatory authorities.  Such 
estimates primarily relate to the valuation of stock options for recording equity-based compensation expense, 
allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, investment valuation, legal matters, and estimates of progress 
toward completion and direct profit or loss on contracts, as applicable.  As future events and their effect on the 
Company's operating results cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these 
estimates.  Changes in the economic climates in which the Company operates may affect these estimates and 
will be reflected in the Company’s financial statements in the event they occur.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Cash provided by operating activities was $19.0 million, $21.2 million and $8.6 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, 

respectively.  In 2013, net income was $15.7 million, while other non-cash adjustments, primarily consisting of 
depreciation expense, equity-based compensation, deferred income taxes, and deferred compensation totaled $5.2 

24

million.  In 2012 and 2011, net income was $16.2 million and $11.9 million, respectively, while the corresponding 
non-cash adjustments netted to $5.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively.  The decrease in non-cash adjustments 
in 2013 as compared with 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in deferred compensation of approximately $0.5 
million. The increase in non-cash adjustments in 2012 as compared with 2011 was primarily due to an increase in 
depreciation and amortization expense of $0.6 million, an increase in equity-based compensation expense of $0.6 
million, deferred taxes of $1.0 million and deferred compensation of $1.6 million.  The increase in 2012 for 
depreciation and amortization expense was due to the completion, at that time, of all existing capitalized software 
projects and the corresponding initiation of depreciation expense on those projects.   The change in 2012 from 2011 
for deferred compensation primarily relates to a change in the discount rate for the Netherlands defined-benefit 
plan.     

Accounts receivable balances decreased $5.2 million in 2013 as compared with 2012, increased $2.2 million 
in 2012 as compared with 2011, and increased $10.6 million in 2011 as compared with 2010.  The decrease in the 
accounts receivable balance in 2013 resulted from a decrease in revenue in the 2013 fourth quarter of 
approximately 4.8% when compared with the 2012 fourth quarter.  The decrease in revenue was offset by an 
increase in days sales outstanding (DSO).  DSO is calculated by dividing accounts receivable obtained from the 
consolidated balance sheet by average daily revenue for the fourth quarter of the respective year.  DSO was 62 
days at December 31, 2013, whereas the DSO at December 31, 2012 was 61 days.  The increase in the accounts 
receivable balance in 2012 as compared with 2011 resulted from an increase in revenue in the 2012 fourth quarter 
of approximately 6.9% when compared with the 2011 fourth quarter.  The increase in revenue was offset by a 
decrease in DSO of one day from 62 days at December 31, 2011.  The increase in the accounts receivable balance 
in 2011 as compared with 2010 resulted from an increase in revenue in the 2011 fourth quarter of approximately 
16% when compared with the 2010 fourth quarter.  DSO also increased to 62 days at December 31, 2011 from 60 
days at December 31, 2010.

Other assets increased $1.6 million in 2013, decreased less than $0.1 million in 2012, and decreased $1.1 

million in 2011.  The increase in 2013 as compared with 2012 was due to the Company electing to not borrow 
available funds from its life insurance policies which would have offset the increase in the cash surrender value of 
the policies.  The decrease in 2011 from 2010 was primarily due to a decrease in the actuarially determined asset 
recorded for the Netherlands defined benefit plan.  Accounts payable decreased $2.6 million in 2013, decreased 
$0.3 million in 2012, and increased $1.3 million in 2011.  The decrease in 2013 was primarily due to the timing of 
certain payments near year-end.  The increase in accounts payable in 2011 is primarily due to a general increase in 
the size of the Company and the timing of payments near year-end.  Accrued compensation decreased $1.1 million 
in 2013 primarily due to lower incentives and headcount in 2013, increased $1.0 million in 2012 primarily due to an 
increase in employee headcount of about 200 from 2011, and increased $1.5 million in 2011 primarily due to a 
significant increase in headcount of about 300 employees year-over-year.  Income taxes payable decreased $0.2 
million in 2013, decreased $1.1 million in 2012 due to the timing of payments made in 2012 and certain provision-
to-return adjustments made when filing the Company's 2011 tax returns, and increased $1.2 million in 2011 due to 
higher taxable income in 2011 as compared with 2010.

Investing activities used $6.7 million, $2.0 million, and $1.7 million of cash in 2013, 2012 and 2011, 

respectively, primarily due to additions to property, equipment and capitalized software of $4.0 million in 2013, $1.9 
million in 2012, and $1.9 million in 2011.  The Company has no significant commitments for the purchase of 
property or equipment at December 31, 2013, and does not expect the amount to be spent in 2014 on additions to 
property, equipment and capitalized software to significantly vary from the amount spent in 2013.  Additionally, in 
2013, the Company spent approximately $2.5 million acquiring etrinity, an IT services firm providing services in 
Belgium and the Netherlands.

Financing activities used $7.1 million of cash in 2013, used $1.3 million of cash in 2012, and provided $1.0 

million of cash in 2011.  The Company received $1.7 million, $3.8 million, and $3.8 million during 2013, 2012, and 
2011, respectively, from the proceeds from stock option exercises and excess tax benefits from equity-based 
compensation transactions.  These increases in 2011 and 2012 were larger as compared with 2013 due to a 
significant increase in the Company’s stock price during 2011 and 2012 which led to a higher level of stock option 
exercises.  

During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company used $7.3 million, $4.6 million, and $3.6 million, respectively, to 

purchase approximately 0.4 million, 0.3 million, and 0.3 million shares of its stock for treasury.  During October 
2013, the Company’s Board of Director’s authorized 1.0 million additional shares for future stock repurchases under 
this program.  Approximately 1.1 million, 0.5 million, and 0.9 million shares remained authorized for future 
purchases under the Company’s share repurchase plan at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  At 

25

December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company also experienced changes in its cash account overdrafts, which 
are primarily due to the timing of payments near year-end, of $0.5 million, $(0.8) million, and $0.5 million, 
respectively.

The Company did not have any borrowings outstanding under its revolving line of credit (LOC) at 

December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011.  The term of the LOC extends to April 2014.  The LOC totals $35.0 million and 
can be used for borrowings or letter of credit commitments, as needed.  Letters of credit at December 31, 2013, 
2012 and 2011 totaled $0.6 million, $0.5 million, and $0.4 million, respectively.  The Company borrows or repays the 
LOC as needed based upon its working capital obligations, including the timing of the U.S. bi-weekly payroll.  The 
Company did not borrow any amounts under the line of credit during 2013 or 2012.  The average outstanding 
balance under the Company’s LOC for 2011 was approximately $0.4 million.

The Company is required to meet certain financial covenants in order to maintain borrowings under its 
revolving credit line, pay dividends, and make acquisitions.  The covenants are measured quarterly, and at 
December 31, 2013 include a leverage ratio which must be no more than 2.75 to 1.00, a calculation of minimum 
tangible net worth which must be no less than $58.3 million, and total expenditures for property, equipment and 
capitalized software cannot exceed $5.0 million annually.  The Company was in compliance with these covenants at 
December 31, 2013 as its leverage ratio was 0.0, its minimum tangible net worth was $75.2 million, and 2013 
expenditures for property, equipment and capitalized software were $4.0 million.  The Company was also in 
compliance with its required covenants at December 31, 2012 and 2011.  When considering current market 
conditions and the Company’s current operating results, the Company believes it will be able to meet its covenants, 
as applicable, in 2014.

Of the total cash and cash equivalents reported on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 of 

$46.2 million, approximately $13.5 million is held by the Company’s foreign operations and is considered to be 
indefinitely reinvested in those operations.  During January 2013, the Company used a portion of its cash held by its 
foreign operations to purchase etrinity.  The Company has not repatriated any of its cash and cash equivalents from 
its foreign operations in the past five years, and has no intention of doing so in the foreseeable future as the funds 
are generally required to meet the working capital needs of its foreign operations.

The Company believes existing internally available funds and cash potentially generated from operations will 
be sufficient to meet foreseeable working capital and capital expenditure needs, fund stock repurchases, continue 
paying a dividiend, and to allow for future internal growth and expansion.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company did not have off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions in 2013, 2012 or 2011 other than 
guarantees in our European operations which support office leases and performance under government contracts.  
These guarantees totaled approximately $2.7 million at December 31, 2013.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s primary market risk exposures consist of interest rate risk associated with variable rate 
borrowings and foreign currency exchange risk associated with the Company’s European operations.  See Item 7A, 
“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk” in this report.

A  A $35.0 million revolving credit agreement (Agreement) that expires in April 2014.  The Company uses this 

Agreement to fund its working capital obligations as needed, primarily funding the U.S. bi-weekly payroll.  There 
were no borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at December 31, 2013.  The Company does currently 
have one outstanding letter of credit under the Agreement totaling approximately $0.6 million which 
collateralizes an employee benefit program.

B  The Company does not have any capital lease obligations outstanding at December 31, 2013.

C  Operating lease obligations relate to the rental of office space, office equipment, and automobiles leased in the 
Company’s European operations.  Total rental expense under operating leases in 2013, 2012 and 2011 was 
approximately $7.0 million, $6.3 million, and $6.8 million, respectively.

D  The Company’s purchase obligations in 2014, 2015 and 2016 total approximately $2.2 million, including $0.9 

million for software maintenance, support and related fees, $0.6 million for telecommunications, $0.5 million for 
recruiting services, $0.1 million for computer-based training courses, and $0.1 million for professional 
organization memberships.

E  The Company is committed for deferred compensation benefits in the U.S. under two plans.  The Executive 

Supplemental Benefit Plan (ESBP) provides certain former key executives with deferred compensation benefits. 
The ESBP was amended as of November 30, 1994 to freeze benefits for participants at that time.  Currently, 16 
individuals are receiving benefits under this plan.  The ESBP is deemed to be unfunded as the Company has 
not specifically identified Company assets to be used to discharge the deferred compensation benefit liabilities.

The Company also has a non-qualified defined-contribution deferred compensation plan for certain key 
executives.  Contributions to this plan in 2013 were $0.3 million. The Company anticipates making contributions 
totaling approximately $0.2 million in 2014 to this plan for amounts earned in 2013.

F  The Company retained a contributory defined-benefit plan for its previous employees located in the Netherlands 
when the Company disposed of its subsidiary, CTG Nederland B.V.  This plan was curtailed on January 1, 2003 
for additional contributions.  The Company does not anticipate making additional contributions to fund the plan 
in future years.

G  The Company has other long-term liabilities including payments for a postretirement benefit plan for several 

retired employees and their spouses, totaling less than 10 participants.

Item 7A.  

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

The Company’s primary market risk exposures consist of interest rate risk associated with variable rate 

borrowings and foreign currency exchange risk associated with the Company’s European operations.

The Company's credit agreement currently expires in April 2014.  This credit agreement allows the Company 
to borrow up to $35.0 million.  At both December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no amounts outstanding under the 
credit agreement. However, at December 31, 2013 and 2012, there was $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, 
outstanding under letters of credit under the credit agreement.

The Company did not borrow any amounts under the line of credit during 2013 or 2012.  The maximum 

amount outstanding under the Company’s credit agreement during 2011 was $5.8 million.  Average bank 
borrowings outstanding for 2011 were $0.4 million, and carried a weighted-average interest rate of 2.3%.  A one 
percent change in the weighted-average interest rate during 2011 would have increased or decreased interest 
expense by $4,000.  The Company incurred commitment fees totaling approximately $0.1 million in each of 2013, 
2012 and 2011 relative to the agreement.

During 2013, revenue was affected by the year-over-year foreign currency exchange rate changes of Belgium, 

Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom, the countries in which the Company’s European subsidiaries operate.  In 
Belgium and Luxembourg, the functional currency is the Euro, while in the United Kingdom the functional currency 
is the British Pound.  Had there been no change in these exchange rates from 2012 to 2013, total European 
revenue would have been approximately $2.3 million lower in 2013, or $74.8 million as compared with the 77.1 
million reported.  Operating income in the Company’s European operations would have been approximately $0.1 
million lower if there had been no change in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year.

The Company recorded a net exchange loss on intercompany balances totaling approximately $0.1 million in 

2011, resulting from balances settled during the year, or those intended to be settled as of December 31, 2011.   
Amounts recorded during 2012 and 2013 for these losses were nominal.  The Company has historically not used 
any market rate sensitive instruments to hedge its foreign currency exchange risk as it conducts its foreign 
operations in local currencies, which generally limits risk.  The Company believes the market risk related to 
intercompany balances in future periods will not have a material effect on its results of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Computer Task Group, Incorporated, and its 

subsidiaries (the Company or CTG), located primarily in North America and Europe.  There are no unconsolidated 
entities, or off-balance sheet arrangements other than certain guarantees supporting office leases or the 
performance under government contracts in the Company's European operations.  All inter-company accounts and 
transactions have been eliminated.  Certain amounts in prior years' consolidated financial statements have been 
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.  Management of the Company has made a number of 
estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets 
and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted 
accounting principles.  Such estimates primarily relate to the valuation of goodwill, valuation allowances for deferred 
tax assets, actuarial assumptions including discount rates and expected rates of return, as applicable, for the 
Company’s defined benefit plans, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, assumptions underlying stock 
option valuation, investment valuation, legal matters, other contingencies, and estimates of progress toward 
completion and direct profit or loss on contracts.  The current economic environment has increased the degree of 
uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company operates in one industry segment, providing IT services to its clients.  These services include IT 

Solutions and IT Staffing.  CTG provides these primary services to all of the markets that it serves.  The services 
provided typically encompass the IT business solution life cycle, including phases for planning, developing, 
implementing, managing, and ultimately maintaining the IT solution.  A typical customer is an organization with 
large, complex information and data processing requirements.  The Company promotes a significant portion of its 
services through four vertical market focus areas: Healthcare (which includes services provided to healthcare 
providers, health insurers, and life sciences companies), Technology Service Providers, Financial Services, and 
Energy.  The Company focuses on these four vertical areas as it believes that these areas are either higher growth 
markets than the general IT services market and the general economy, or are areas that provide greater potential 
for the Company’s growth due to the size of the vertical market.  The remainder of CTG’s revenue is derived from 
general markets.

CTG’s revenue by vertical market as a percentage of consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 

2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, when the services 

have been rendered, when the price is determinable, and when collectibility of the amounts due is reasonably 
assured.  For time-and-material contracts, revenue is recognized as hours are incurred and costs are expended. 
For contracts with periodic billing schedules, primarily monthly, revenue is recognized as services are rendered to 
the customer.  Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognized per the proportional method of accounting using an 
input-based approach.  On a given project, actual salary and indirect labor costs incurred are measured and 
compared against the total estimated costs of such items at the completion of the project.  Revenue is recognized 
based upon the percentage-of-completion calculation of total incurred costs to total estimated costs.  The Company 
infrequently works on fixed-price projects that include significant amounts of material or other non-labor related 
costs which could distort the percent complete within a percentage-of-completion calculation.  The Company’s 
estimate of the total labor costs it expects to incur over the term of the contract is based on the nature of the project 

36

 
and our past experience on similar projects, and includes management judgments and estimates which affect the 
amount of revenue recognized on fixed-price contracts in any accounting period.

The Company’s revenue from contracts accounted for under time-and-material, progress billing, and 
percentage-of-completion methods as a percentage of consolidated revenue for the years ended December 31, 
2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

The Company includes billable expenses in its accounts as both revenue and direct costs.  These billable 

expenses totaled $11.8 million, $13.4 million, and $12.7 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Software Revenue Recognition

From 2011 to 2013, the Company performed services for a customer under a series of contracts that provided 

for application customization and integration services, specifically utilizing one of the software tools the Company 
has developed for internal use.  These services were provided under a software-as-a-service model.  As the 
contracts were closely interrelated and dependent on each other, for accounting purposes the contracts were 
considered to be one arrangement.  As the project included significant modification and customization services to 
transform the previously developed software tool into an expanded tool intended to meet the customer’s 
requirements, the percentage-of-completion method of contract accounting was utilized for the project.  

Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid for a liability in the 

principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market 
participants.  The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy for its assets and liabilities, as applicable, based upon 
three levels of input, which are:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (observable)

Level 2—inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for 

similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be 
supported by observable market data for essentially the full term of the asset or liability (observable)

Level 3—unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, but are significant to 

determining the fair value of the asset or liability (unobservable)

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the carrying amounts of the Company’s cash of $46.2 million and $40.6 

million, respectively, approximated fair value.

The Company is also allowed to elect an irrevocable option to measure, on a contract by contract basis, 
specific financial instruments and certain other items that are currently not being measured at fair value.  The 
Company did not elect to apply the fair value provisions of this standard for any specific contracts during the years 
ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.

Life Insurance Policies

The Company has purchased life insurance on the lives of certain plan participants, all who were former 

employees, in the non-qualified defined benefit Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan.  Those policies have 
generated cash surrender value, and the Company has taken loans against the policies.  At December 31, 2013 
and December 31, 2012, these insurance policies had a gross cash surrender value of $26.2 million and $24.8 
million, respectively, loans had been taken totaling $23.6 million and $23.1 million, respectively, and the net cash 
surrender value balance of $2.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, was included on the consolidated balance 
sheet in “Other Assets” under non-current assets.

37

During 2012, the Company received life insurance proceeds totaling approximately $1.3 million for two former 
plan participants that passed away during the year.  At December 31, 2013, the total death benefit for the remaining 
policies was approximately $37.4 million.  Currently, upon the death of all of the remaining plan participants, the 
company would expect to receive approximately $13.8 million after the payment of outstanding loans, and record a 
gain of approximately $11.2 million.

Taxes Collected from Customers

In instances where the Company collects taxes from its customers for remittance to governmental authorities, 
primarily in its European operations, revenue and expenses are not presented on a gross basis in the consolidated 
financial statements as such taxes are recorded in the Company's accounts on a net basis.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Cash Overdrafts

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, 
demand deposits, and short-term, highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less.  As the 
Company does not fund its bank accounts for the checks it has written until the checks are presented to the bank 
for payment, the change in cash overdraft, net, on the consolidated statements of cash flows represents the 
increase or decrease in outstanding checks year-over-year.

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable balances are expected to be received on average approximately 60 days from the 

date of invoice.  Generally, the Company does not work on any projects where amounts due are expected to be 
received greater than one year from the date of the invoice.  Accordingly, the recorded book value for the 
Company’s accounts receivable equals fair value.  Outstanding trade accounts receivable are generally considered 
past due when they remain unpaid after the contractual due date has past.  An allowance for doubtful accounts 
receivable (allowance) is established using management’s judgment.  Specific identification of balances that are 
significantly past due and where customer payments have not been recently received are generally added to the 
allowance unless the Company has direct knowledge that the customer intends to make payment.  Additionally, any 
balances which relate to a customer that has declared bankruptcy or ceased its business operations are added to 
the allowance at the amount not expected to be received.

Bad debt expense, net of recoveries, was approximately $0.2 million, $(40,000), and $0.7 million in 2013, 

2012, and 2011, respectively.

Property and Equipment and Capitalized Software Costs

Property and equipment are generally stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is 

computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of one year to 30 years, and begins after 
an asset has been put into service.  Leasehold improvements are generally depreciated over the shorter of the term 
of the lease or the useful life of the improvement.  The cost of property or equipment sold or otherwise disposed of, 
along with related accumulated depreciation, is eliminated from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, 
is reflected in current earnings.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred, while significant 
improvements to existing assets are capitalized.

As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had capitalized a total of approximately $6.8 

million and $5.1 million, respectively, for software projects developed for internal use.  Amortization periods range 
from two to five years, and are evaluated annually for propriety.  Amortization expense for these projects totaled 
$1.2 million, $1.7 million, and $1.1 million in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 

carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  When such circumstances exist, the recoverability of assets 
to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future cash flows expected 
to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is 
measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to 
be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.  The 
Company does not have any long-lived assets that are impaired or that it intends to dispose of at December 31, 
2013.

38

Leases

The Company is obligated under a number of short and long-term operating leases primarily for the rental of 
office space, office equipment, and for automobiles in our European operations.  In instances where the Company 
has negotiated leases that contain rent holidays or escalation clauses, the expense for those leases is recognized 
monthly on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Goodwill

The Company had a goodwill balance of $37.6 million at December 31, 2013.  This balance increased by 
approximately $2.0 million during 2013 due to the acquisition of etrinity.  The balance is evaluated annually as of the 
Company’s October fiscal month-end (the measurement date), or more frequently if facts and circumstances 
indicate impairment may exist.  This evaluation, as applicable, is based on estimates and assumptions that may be 
used to analyze the appraised value of similar transactions from which the goodwill arose, the appraised value of 
similar companies, or estimates of future discounted cash flows.  The estimates and assumptions on which the 
Company’s evaluations are based involve judgments and are based on currently available information, any of which 
could prove wrong or inaccurate when made, or become wrong or inaccurate as a result of subsequent events.

At the respective measurement dates for 2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company completed its annual valuation 

of the business to which the Company’s goodwill relates.  During 2013 and 2012, the Company utilized the 
provisions under Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing 
Goodwill for Impairment,” which allow public entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is 
necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test.  Under this process, an entity is no longer 
required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the qualitative assessment shows that it is more likely 
than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount.  During 2011, the company utilized the assistance of an 
independent third party appraiser to complete its review.

 The 2011 valuation indicated that the estimated fair value of the business was substantially in excess of its 

carrying value, with the estimated fair value of the unit exceeding the carrying value by 116%.  From its internal 
reviews completed in 2013 and 2012, the Company believes the fair value of the business continues to be 
substantially in excess of the carrying value of the business.  Additionally, there are no other facts or circumstances 
which arose during 2013, 2012 or 2011 that led management to believe the goodwill balance was impaired.

Other Intangible Assets

The Company recorded approximately $0.4 million of other intangible assets in 2013 resulting from the 
acquisition of etrinity.  Previously, the Company did not have any other intangible assets recorded on its accounts.  
These intangible assets include customer relationships, trademarks, and non-compete agreements, and are being 
amortized over periods ranging from two to seven years.  Total amortization expense recognized in 2013 was 
approximately $0.1 million.

Income Taxes

The Company provides for deferred income taxes for the temporary differences between the financial 
reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities.  In assessing the realizability of deferred 
tax assets, management considers within each tax jurisdiction, whether it is more likely than not that some portion 
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax 
liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment.  The Company 
recognizes, as applicable, accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.

Equity-Based Compensation

The Company records the fair value of equity-based compensation expense for all equity-based 

compensation awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006.  The calculated fair value cost of its equity-based 
compensation awards is recognized in the Company’s income statement over the period in which an employee or 
director is required to provide the services for the award.  Compensation cost is not recognized for employees or 
directors that do not render the requisite services.  The Company recognized the expense for equity-based 
compensation in its 2013, 2012, and 2011 statements of income on a straight-line basis based upon awards that 
are ultimately expected to vest.  See note 10, “Equity-Based Compensation.”

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency.  The translation 

of the applicable foreign currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities using current exchange 
rates in effect at the balance sheet date, for equity accounts using historical exchange rates, and for revenue and 
expense activity using the applicable month’s average exchange rates.  The Company recorded nominal losses in 
2013 and 2012, and $0.1 million in 2011 from foreign currency transactions for balances settled during the year or 
intended to be settled as of each respective year-end.

Guarantees

The Company has a number of guarantees in place in our European operations which support office leases 

and performance under government projects.  These guarantees totaled approximately $2.7 million and $2.5 million 
at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and generally have expiration dates ranging from January 2014 
through June 2019.

Acquisition

In January 2013, the Company acquired etrinity, a provider of IT services to the healthcare market in Belgium 

and the Netherlands for approximately $2.5 million.  Founded in 2000, etrinity's 2013 and 2012 revenue 
approximated U.S. $2.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively.  The firm's IT services are targeted to the healthcare 
provider market and include clinical systems integration and implementation, application management, technology 
support for medical imaging, training, and technical resources.

The Company recorded additions to capitalized software of $1.7 million during the year ended December 31, 
2013, and none during the year ended December 31, 2012.  As of these dates the Company had capitalized a total 
of $6.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively, solely for software projects developed for internal use.  Accumulated 
amortization for these projects totaled $4.4 million and $3.2 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, 
respectively. 

3.  

Investments

The Company’s investments consist of mutual funds which are part of the Computer Task Group, Incorporated 

Non-qualified Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s 
investment balances, which are classified as trading securities, totaled approximately $0.9 million and $0.6 million, 
respectively, and were measured at fair value.  As there is an active trading market for these funds, fair value was 
determined using Level 1 inputs (see note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Fair Value”).  Unrealized 
gains and losses on these securities are recorded in earnings and were nominal in 2013, 2012, and 2011.

41

 
 
 
4.  

Debt

The Company's revolving credit agreement (Agreement) allows the Company to borrow up to $35.0 million, is 
unsecured, has a term of three years, and expires in April 2014.  The Agreement has interest rates ranging from 0 
to 50 basis points over the prime rate and 175 to 225 basis points over LIBOR.  At both December 31, 2013 and 
2012, there were no amounts outstanding under this Agreement.  However, there were $0.6 million and $0.5 million 
assigned to letters of credit under this Agreement at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

There were no amounts outstanding under the Agreement at any point during 2013 or 2012.  The maximum 
amount outstanding under the Agreement during 2011 was $5.8 million.  Average bank borrowings for 2011 were 
$0.4 million and carried weighted-average interest rate of 2.3%.  The Company incurred commitment fees totaling 
approximately $0.1 million in each of 2013, 2012 and 2011 relative to the Agreement.  Interest paid totaled less than 
$0.1 million in 2011.

The Company is required to meet certain financial covenants in order to maintain borrowings under the 
Agreement, pay dividends, and make acquisitions.  The covenants are measured quarterly, and at December 31, 
2013 include a leverage ratio which must be no more than 2.75 to 1, a calculation of minimum tangible net worth 
which must be no less than $58.3 million, and total expenditures for property, equipment and capitalized software 
cannot exceed $5.0 million annually.  The Company was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2013 
as its leverage ratio was 0.0, its tangible net worth was $75.2 million, and 2013 expenditures for property, 
equipment and capitalized software were $4.0 million.  The Company was also in compliance with its required 
covenants at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The Company’s effective tax rate (ETR) is calculated based upon the full year's operating results, and various 

tax related items.  The Company’s normal ETR ranges from 38% to 40%.   The 2013 ETR was lower than the 
normal range primarily due to the recording of approximately $0.7 million of tax credits related to research and 
development activities, and approximately $0.4 million of tax credits related to the Company’s participation in the 
Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) program offered by the U.S. federal government to companies who have 
hired individuals who have traditionally faced barriers to employment.  The tax benefit for these two items for both 
2013 and 2012 was recorded in 2013 as required under current accounting guidelines, as the legislation extending 
these tax credits, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, was not passed by the U.S. federal government until 
January 2013.  The benefit of these tax credits was partially offset by an increase of approximately $0.1 million in 
the valuation allowance associated with net operating losses incurred by certain foreign subsidiaries.  The 2012 
ETR was lower than the normal range due to approximately $0.5 million in tax expense related to non-taxable life 
insurance proceeds received during the year.  In addition, in 2012 the Company recorded an additional $0.2 million 
reduction of state tax expense as a result of the recording of certain favorable provision-to-return adjustments 
associated with the Company’s 2011 income tax returns.  The 2011 ETR was below the normal range as the 
Company recorded $0.3 million of federal tax credits related to research and development activities, and $0.3 
million of federal tax credits related to the retention of certain individuals hired during 2010.  The impact of these 

43

 
 
 
credits was partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance of $0.2 million associated with net operating 
losses incurred by certain foreign subsidiaries.

The expected relationship between foreign income before taxes and the foreign provision for income taxes 

differs from the actual relationship above as a result of certain foreign losses incurred for which no tax benefit has 
been recognized.  Management has determined that it is unclear whether operations in those jurisdictions will 
produce taxable income in future years sufficient to realize the benefit of the losses in those jurisdictions.  In 
addition, certain costs deducted for financial statement purposes are not deductible for tax purposes in some 
foreign jurisdictions, such as various employee benefit costs, resulting in a substantial increase to foreign taxable 
income.

The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2013 and 2012 consist of the following:

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers, within each taxing jurisdiction, 

whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax 
planning strategies in making this assessment.  Factors that may affect the Company’s ability to achieve sufficient 
forecasted taxable income in future periods may include, but are not limited to, the following: increased competition, 
a decline in sales or margins, a loss of market share, the availability of qualified professional staff, and a decrease 
in demand for IT services.  Based upon the levels of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable 
income over the years in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, at December 31, 2013, management 
believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits, net of the established valuation 
allowance, of these deferred tax assets in the future.

For tax purposes, the Company has various U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards which began to expire 
in 2011, and have approximately $0.1 million remaining.  These net operating losses have a carryforward period of 
5 to 20 years.  The Netherlands net operating loss carryforward is approximately $1.6 million, and began to expire 
in 2014, while in the United Kingdom the net operating loss carryforward is approximately $3.5 million, and has no 
expiration date.

44

 
 
 
At December 31, 2013, the Company has a deferred tax asset before the valuation allowance in the United 

States resulting from net operating losses in various states of approximately $0.1 million, in the United Kingdom of 
approximately $0.7 million, and in the Netherlands of approximately $0.4 million.  Management has analyzed each 
jurisdiction’s tax position, including forecasting potential taxable income in future years, and the expiration of the net 
operating loss carryforwards as applicable, and determined that it is unclear whether all of the deferred tax asset 
totaling $1.2 million will be realized at any point in the future.  Accordingly, at December 31, 2013, the Company has 
offset most of the asset with a valuation allowance totaling $1.1 million, resulting in a net deferred tax asset from net 
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $0.1 million.  During 2013, the net increase in the valuation allowance 
was less than $0.1 million.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign 
jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. 
income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2009.

No significant increase in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits is expected within the next twelve 

months.  The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax 
expense, as applicable.  At December 31, 2013, the Company had no accrual for the payment of interest and 
penalties.

The Company has established its unrecognized tax benefits based upon the anticipated outcome of tax 
positions taken for financial statement purposes compared with positions taken on the Company’s tax returns.  The 
Company records the benefit for unrecognized tax benefits only when it is more likely than not that the position will 
be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities.  The Company reviews its unrecognized tax benefits on a 
quarterly basis.  Such reviews include consideration of factors such as the cause of the action, the degree of 
probability of an unfavorable outcome, the Company’s ability to estimate the liability, and the timing of the liability 
and how it will impact the Company’s other tax attributes.  At December 31, 2013, the Company believes it has 
adequately provided for its tax-related liabilities.

At December 31, 2013, the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $16.0 

million.   A deferred tax liability for the taxes related to these unremitted accumulated foreign earnings has not been 
provided for as the determination of the estimated liability is not practicable and because undistributed earnings of 
the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested.  Upon distribution of these earnings 
in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an 
adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries.     

In 2013, 2012, and 2011, a total of 87,100, 461,000, and 465,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were 
issued through the exercise of non-qualified stock options or through the disqualifying disposition of incentive stock 
options.  The tax benefit to the Company from these transactions, which was credited to capital in excess of par 
value rather than recognized as a reduction of income tax expense, was $0.5 million, $2.2 million, and $1.6 million 
in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.  These tax benefits have also been recognized in the consolidated balance 
sheets as a reduction of income taxes payable.

45

 
Net income tax payments during 2013, 2012, and 2011 totaled $6.5 million, $6.5 million, and $4.6 million, 

respectively.

6.  

Lease Commitments

At December 31, 2013, the Company was obligated under a number of long-term operating leases, some of 

which contain renewal options with escalation clauses commensurate with local market fluctuations, however, 
generally limiting the increase to no more than 5.0% of the existing lease payment.

Minimum future obligations under such leases as of December 31, 2013 are summarized as follows:

The operating lease obligations relate to the rental of office space, office equipment, and automobiles leased 

in Europe.  Total rental expense under such operating leases for 2013, 2012, and 2011 was approximately $7.0 
million, $6.3 million, and $6.8 million, respectively.

7.  

Deferred Compensation Benefits

The Company maintains a non-qualified defined-benefit Executive Supplemental Benefit Plan (ESBP) that 

provides certain former key executives with deferred compensation benefits, based on years of service and base 
compensation, payable during retirement.  The plan was amended as of November 30, 1994, to freeze benefits for 
the participants in the plan at that time.

Net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 for the ESBP is as follows:

The Company also retained a contributory defined-benefit plan for its previous employees located in the 
Netherlands (NDBP) when the Company disposed of its subsidiary, CTG Nederland, B.V.  Benefits paid are a 
function of a percentage of career average pay.  This plan was curtailed for additional contributions in January 
2003.  Net periodic pension cost was approximately $49,000, $118,000, and $77,000 for the years ending 
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

For the ESBP, the accumulated benefit obligation at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $7.5 million and $8.4 
million, respectively.  The amounts included in other comprehensive loss relating to the pension loss adjustment in 
2013 and 2012, net of tax, were approximately $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively.  The discount rate used in 
2013 was 3.87%, which is reflective of a series of bonds that are included in the Moody’s Aa long-term corporate 
bond yield whose cash flow approximates the payments to participants under the ESBP for the remainder of the 
plan.  This rate was an increase of 85 basis points from the rate used in the prior year and resulted in a decrease in 
the plan’s liabilities of approximately $0.5 million.  Benefits paid to participants are funded by the Company as 
needed, and are expected to total approximately $0.7 million in 2014.  The plan is deemed unfunded as the 
Company has not specifically identified Company assets to be used to discharge the deferred compensation benefit 
liabilities.  The Company has purchased insurance on the lives of certain plan participants in amounts considered 
sufficient to reimburse the Company for the costs associated with the plan for those participants.  The Company 
does not anticipate making contributions to the plan other than for current year benefit payments as required in 
2014 or future years.

For the NDBP, the accumulated benefit obligation at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $11.6 million and 

$11.9 million, respectively.  The discount rate used in 2013 was 3.20%, which is reflective of a series of corporate 
bonds whose cash flow approximates the payments to participants under the NDBP for the remainder of the plan.  
This rate was an increase of 40 basis points from the rate used in the prior year, and resulted in a decrease in the 
plan’s liabilities of $1.0 million in 2013.

The assets for the NDBP are held by Aegon, a financial services firm located in the Netherlands.  The assets 

for the plan are included in a general portfolio of government bonds, a portion of which is allocated to the NDBP 

47

 
 
 
 
 
based upon the estimated pension liability associated with the plan.  The fair market value of the plan’s assets 
equals the amount allocated to the NDBP in any given year.  The fair value of the assets is determined using a 
Level 3 methodology (see note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Fair Value”).  The calculation of fair 
value includes determining the present value of the future expected payments under the plan, including using 
assumptions such as expected market rates of return, equity and interest rate volatility, credit risk, correlations of 
market returns, and discount rates.  In 2013 and 2012, the plan investments had a targeted minimum return to the 
Company of 4.0%, which is consistent with historical returns and the guaranteed 4.0% return guaranteed to the 
participants of the plan.  The Company, in conjunction with Aegon, intends to maintain the current investment 
strategy of investing plan assets solely in government bonds in 2014.

Anticipated benefit payments for the ESBP and the NDBP expected to be paid in future years are as follows:

For the ESBP and the NDBP, the amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, that 
have not yet been recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost as of December 31, 2013 are $1.3 million 
and $3.9 million, respectively, for unrecognized actuarial losses.  The amounts included in accumulated other 
comprehensive loss, net of tax, that had not yet been recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost as of 
December 31, 2012 were $1.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively, also for unrecognized actuarial losses.

The amounts recognized in other comprehensive loss, net of tax, for 2013, 2012, and 2011, which primarily 
consist of an actuarial gain (loss), totaled $1.3 million, $(2.8) million, and $(1.7) million, respectively.  Net periodic 
pension benefit, and the amounts recognized in other comprehensive loss, net of tax, for the ESBP and the NDBP 
for 2013, 2012, and 2011 totaled $0.8 million, $2.1 million, and $1.1 million, respectively.

The amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss expected to be recognized as components of net 

periodic benefit cost during 2014 for the ESBP and the NDBP for unrecognized actuarial losses total $0.2 million.

The Company also maintains the Key Employee Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan for certain key 

executives.  Company contributions to this plan, if any, are based on annually defined financial performance 
objectives.  There were $0.3 million in contributions to the plan in 2013 for amounts earned in 2012, $0.4 million in 
contributions to the plan in 2012 for amounts earned in 2011, and $0.3 million in contributions to the plan in 2011 for 
amounts earned in 2010.  The Company anticipates making contributions in 2014 totaling approximately $0.2 
million to this plan for amounts earned in 2013.  The investments in the plan are included in the total assets of the 
Company, and are discussed in note 3, “Investments.”  During 2013 and 2012, some participants in the plan 
exchanged a portion of their investments for stock units which represent shares of the Company’s common stock. 
In exchange for the funds received, the Company issued shares out of treasury stock equivalent to the number of 
share units received by the participants.  These shares of common stock are not entitled to any voting rights.  The 
shares are being held by the Company, and will be released to the participants as prescribed by their payment 
elections under the plan.

The Company maintains the Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan for its non-employee 
directors.  Cash contributions were made to the plan for certain of these directors totaling less than $0.1 million for 
each of 2013, 2012 and 2011.  At the time the contributions were made, one of the non-employee directors elected 
to exchange his cash contributions to the plan for the purchase of stock units which represent shares of the 
Company’s common stock.  Consistent with the Key Employee Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan, in 
exchange for funds received, the Company issued stock out of treasury stock equivalent to the number of share 
units received by the participant.  These shares of common stock are not entitled to any voting rights.  The shares 
are being held by the Company, and will be released to the non-employee director as prescribed by their payment 
election under the plan, as either shares of stock or the cash equivalent.

Employee Benefits

401(k) Profit-Sharing Retirement Plan

The Company maintains a contributory 401(k) profit-sharing retirement plan covering substantially all U.S. 
employees.  At its discretion, the Company may match up to 50% of the first 6% of eligible wages contributed by the 
participants.  Company contributions, net of forfeitures, which currently consist of cash and may include the 
Company’s stock, were funded and charged to operations in the amounts of $2.4 million, $2.8 million, and $2.6 
million for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. 

Other Retirement Plans

The Company maintains various other defined contribution retirement plans covering substantially all of the 

remaining European employees.  Company contributions charged to operations were $0.1 million in each of 2013, 
2012, and 2011.

Employee Health Insurance

The Company provides various health insurance plans for its employees, including a self-insured plan for its 

salaried employees in the U.S.  The Company currently provides only limited health insurance coverage for its 
hourly employees in the U.S.  Under recently issued legislation, the Company will be required to offer more 
extensive healthcare coverage to those employees in 2015, or pay penalties.  

9.  

Shareholders’ Equity

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the Company’s First Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), employees may apply up to 10% of their 

compensation to purchase the Company’s common stock.  Shares are purchased at the closing market price on the 
business day preceding the date of purchase.  At the Company's annual meeting in May 2012, the Company's 
shareholders approved the addition of 250,000 shares for this plan.  As of December 31, 2013, approximately 
242,000 shares remain unissued under the ESPP.  During 2013, 2012, and 2011, approximately 19,000, 19,000, 
and 22,000 shares, respectively, were purchased under the ESPP at an average price of $19.72, $15.29, and 
$12.49 per share, respectively.

Stock Trusts

The Company maintains a Stock Employee Compensation Trust (SECT) to provide funding for existing 
employee stock plans and benefit programs.  Shares of the Company’s common stock are purchased by and 
released from the SECT by the trustee of the SECT at the request of the compensation committee of the Board of 
Directors.  As of December 31, 2013, all shares remaining in the SECT were unallocated and, therefore, are not 
considered outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per share.  There were no shares purchased or 
released by the SECT during 2013, 2012, or 2011, and there were 3.3 million shares in the SECT at each of 
December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

The Company created an Omnibus Stock Trust (OST) to provide funding for various employee benefit 
programs.  Shares of the Company’s common stock are released from the OST by the trustee at the request of the 
compensation committee of the Board of Directors.  There were no shares purchased or released by the OST 
during 2013, 2012, or 2011, and there were 59,000 shares in the OST at each of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 
2011.

Preferred Stock

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had 2.5 million shares of par value $0.01 preferred stock 

authorized for issuance, but none outstanding.

49

10.  

Equity-Based Compensation

The Company issues stock options and restricted stock in exchange for employee and director services.  In 

accordance with current accounting standards, the calculated cost of its equity-based compensation awards is 
recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income over the period in which an employee or director is 
required to provide the services for the award.  Compensation cost will not be recognized for employees or directors 
that do not render the requisite services.  The Company recognizes the expense for equity-based compensation in 
its consolidated income statements on a straight-line basis based upon the number of awards that are ultimately 
expected to vest.

Equity-based compensation expense, the corresponding tax benefit and net equity-based compensation 

expense for 2013, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

On May 12, 2010, the shareholders approved the Company’s 2010 Equity Award Plan (2010 Plan).  Under the 

provisions of the 2010 Plan, stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, and other awards may be 
granted or awarded to employees and directors of the company, as well as non-employees.  The compensation 
committee of the Board of Directors determines the nature, amount, pricing and vesting of the grants or awards.  All 
options and awards remain in effect until the earliest of the expiration, exercise, or surrender date.  Options 
generally become exercisable in four equal installments, typically beginning one year from the date of grant, and 
expire no more than 15 years from the date of grant.  A total of 900,000 shares may be granted or awarded under 
the 2010 plan, 216,000 of which are available for grant as of December 31, 2013.

On April 26, 2000, the shareholders approved the Company’s 2000 Equity Award Plan (Equity Plan).  Under 
the provisions of the Equity Plan, stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, and other awards could 
previously be granted or awarded to employees and directors of the Company.  The compensation committee of the 
Board of Directors determined the nature, amount, pricing, and vesting of the grants or awards.  All options and 
awards remain in effect until the earlier of the expiration, exercise, or surrender date.  Options generally become 
exercisable in three or four equal annual installments, typically beginning one year from the date of grant, and 
expire no more than 15 years from the date of grant.  In certain limited instances, options granted at fair market 
value were expected to vest nine and one-half years from the date of grant.  There are no shares or options 
available for grant under this plan as of December 31, 2013.

On April 24, 1991, the shareholders approved the Company’s 1991 Employee Stock Option Plan (1991 Plan). 

Under the provisions of the 1991 Plan, options could previously be granted to employees and directors of the 
Company.  The exercise price for options granted under this plan was equal to or greater than the fair market value 
of the Company’s common stock on the date the option was granted.  All options remain in effect until the earlier of 
the expiration, exercise, or surrender date.  There are no shares or options available for grant under this plan as of 
December 31, 2013.

Under the Company’s 1991 Restricted Stock Plan, a total of 800,000 shares of restricted stock may be 

granted to certain key employees, 180,000 of which are available for grant as of December 31, 2013.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options 
granted on the date of grant.  The per-option weighted-average fair value on the date of grant of stock options 
granted in 2013, 2012, and 2011 was $5.78, $5.47, and $4.57, respectively.

The fair value of the options at the date of grant was estimated using the following weighted-average 

assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011:

Expected life (years)
Dividend yield
Risk-free interest rate
Expected volatility

2013

0.0%
0.4%
61.3%

The Company used historical volatility calculated using daily closing prices for its common stock over periods 
that match the expected term of the options granted to estimate the expected volatility for the grants made in 2011, 
2012 and 2013.  The risk-free interest rate assumption was based upon U.S. Treasury yields appropriate for the 
expected term of the Company’s stock options based upon the date of grant.  The expected term of the stock 
options granted was based upon the options expected vesting schedule and historical exercise patterns.  The 
expected dividend yield was based upon the Company’s recent history of paying dividends in 2013, and the 
expectation of paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

During 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Company issued restricted stock to certain employees.  The stock vests over 

a period of four years, with 25% of the stock issued vesting one year from the date of grant, and another 25% 
vesting each year thereafter until the stock is fully vested.  The Company is recognizing compensation expense for 
these shares ratably over the expected term of the restricted stock, or four years.  In the event the Company issued 
stock to its independent directors, the stock vests at retirement.  As the directors are eligible for retirement from the 
Company’s Board of Directors at any point in time, the Company will recognize the expense associated with these 
shares on the date of grant.  The shares of restricted stock issued are considered outstanding, can be voted, and 
are eligible to receive dividends, if any are paid.  However, the restricted shares do not include a non-forfeitable 
right for the holder to receive dividends and none will be paid in the event the awards do not vest.  Accordingly, only 
vested shares of outstanding restricted stock are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share.

As of December 31, 2013, total remaining stock-based compensation expense for non-vested equity-based 
compensation was approximately $4.4 million, which is expected to be recognized on a weighted-average basis 
over the next 15 months.  Historically, the Company has issued shares out of treasury stock or the SECT to fulfill 
the share requirements from stock option exercises and restricted stock grants.

Significant Customer

International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is the Company’s largest customer.  In 2013, 2012, and 

2011, IBM accounted for $101.0 million or 24.1%, $113.5 million or 26.7%, and $116.5 million or 29.4% of the 
Company’s consolidated revenue, respectively.  In 2012, IBM spun its retail business off into another large 
company.  While CTG retained the work, this reduced our revenue from IBM in 2012 by $3.2 million.  The 
Company’s accounts receivable from IBM at December 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $11.0 million and $12.6 
million, respectively.  No other customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue in 2013, 2012, or 2011.

In January 2014, IBM announced its intention to spin off its x86 server division to Lenovo.  A portion of the 

Company's 2013 revenue from IBM was related to the x86 server division.  The Company expects to retain a 
significant share of the revenue derived from the x86 server division despite the transition of the division from IBM 
to Lenovo.

12.  

Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and tax audits 
arising in the ordinary course of business.  At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company was in discussion with 
various governmental agencies relative to tax matters, including income, sales and use, and property and franchise 
taxes.  The outcome of these audits and legal proceedings, as applicable, involving the Company and its 
subsidiaries cannot be predicted with certainty, and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such 
audits cannot be accurately predicted.  However, as none of these matters are individually or in the aggregate 
significant, and as management has recorded an estimate of its potential liability for these audits at December 31, 
2013 and 2012, and the Company does not have any open legal proceedings, the Company does not expect the 
conclusion of these matters to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash 
flows of the Company.

include managed and flexible staffing and the planning, design, implementation, and maintenance of 
comprehensive IT solutions.  All of the Company’s revenue is generated from these services.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the 

Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operations of the 
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of 
the period covered by this annual report.  Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and 
Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of 
the end of the period covered by this annual report.

(a)  Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal 

control over financial reporting.  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, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only 
reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to 
be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and 
presentation.  Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting 
may deteriorate.

Management of the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control 

over financial reporting based on the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management 
did not identify any control deficiencies it considered to be material weaknesses under the rules specified by the 
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 5, and therefore concluded that its internal 
control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on the Company’s 
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.  Their report appears in Item 9A(b), Attestation Report of 
the Registered Public Accounting Firm.

(b)  Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Computer Task Group, Incorporated:

We have audited Computer Task Group, Incorporated’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 
2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)”. Computer Task Group, Incorporated’s management 
is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness 
of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal 
Control Over Financial Reporting (Item 9A(a)).  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal 
control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit 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 audit 
also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that 
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect 
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) 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  (3) 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.

In our opinion, Computer Task Group, Incorporated maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over 
financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework 
(1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)”.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Computer Task Group, Incorporated as of December 31, 2013 
and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ 
equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, and our report 
dated February 26, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

(c)  Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company reviews, revises and improves the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls on a 
continuous basis.  The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
