Dear Fellow Shareholders

The last year presented considerable challenges to CTG resulting in a decline in revenue and earnings from 

2013. Net income per diluted share in 2014 was $0.64 compared with $0.92 in 2013. Net income in 2014 

included $1.2 million, net of tax, or $0.07 of net income per diluted share, of costs in the 2014 fourth quarter 

associated with the death of CTG Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James R. Boldt under the terms of 

his employment agreement with the Company. It also included a non-cash impairment charge in the 2014 

fourth quarter of $0.9 million, net of tax, or $0.06 of net income per diluted share, to write off the net book 

value of the Company’s medical fraud, waste, and abuse software solution. These charges were the primary 

contributor to the narrowing of operating margin in 2014 to 4.4% from 5.9% in 2013. Excluding these 

charges, net income per diluted share for 2014 would have been $0.77.

Total revenue in 2014 was $393.3 million, 6% lower than 2013 revenue of $419.0 million, reflecting an 

industry-wide decline in external IT spending from healthcare providers, slightly lower revenue from our IT 

staffing business, and modest growth in our European operations. These results are reflected in the change in 

our revenue mix to 62% staffing/38% solutions in 2014 from 61%/39% in 2013. While it is disappointing that 

our level of profitability was lower than the last two years, we were able to mitigate some of the downward 

pressure on margins through disciplined cost control and the contribution from a large medical data analytics 

project that was completed at the end of the year. 

CTG lost a great man and a great leader with the unexpected death of Jim Boldt in October 2014. Jim 

served CTG diligently since he joined the Company as chief financial officer in 1996. In 2001, Jim was named 

chairman and chief executive officer. He led the Company through turbulent times following the aftermath 

of Y2K and the dotcom downturn, which significantly reduced client spending on external IT support. Jim’s 

leadership and business acumen brought CTG back to a position of financial strength by setting the Company 

on a focused strategic course, concentrating on core competencies and expanding business in four higher 

growth markets: technology services, healthcare, financial services, and energy. The primary emphasis today 

is on healthcare, one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the U.S. This strategy proved successful 

in establishing CTG as a leader in healthcare IT. We have also expanded our business in other key vertical 

markets, most notably technology services. Diversifying CTG’s core business focus provided the necessary 

balance to partially offset the impact of the changing healthcare environment that we are currently 

managing through. Jim is missed by the CTG family, but his commitment to the Company and its success 

continues to inspire all of us to keep moving his strategy and vision for CTG forward. 

The Board retained a leading executive search firm immediately after Jim’s death, and after thoroughly 

evaluating several excellent candidates, recently elected Cliff Bleustein President and Chief Executive Officer of 

CTG. Cliff most recently served as Chief Medical Officer and Global Provider Solutions Leader at Dell Services. He 

joined Dell Services in March 2013 as Managing Director and Global Head of Healthcare Consulting, and 

was named Chief Medical Officer and Global Head of Healthcare Consulting in July 2014. Prior to his career 

at Dell Services, Cliff was a director in the health industries advisory practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers, 

where between 2009 and 2013 he focused on sales and delivery of PwC’s consulting services to healthcare 

providers. We are confident Cliff has both the background and enthusiasm required to lead CTG in all of our 

business areas, including staffing, non-healthcare solutions, and our European operations, and especially during

Business Overview

Healthcare

Revenue from our healthcare business, which comes from healthcare provider, payer, and life sciences 

organizations, declined 15% in 2014 and contributed 29% to total revenue compared with 31% in 

2013. The two major contributors to lower healthcare IT spending in 2014 were uncertainty over regulatory 

mandates and reductions in provider spending on electronic health records (EHR) systems implementations. 

The federal government’s October 1, 2014 deadline for conversion to the ICD-10 diagnostic coding 

standard, which was set in 2013 after multiple postponements, was unexpectedly extended for at least 

another year in March 2014, prompting many healthcare organizations to delay ICD-10 projects that 

we had factored into our revenue forecast for the year. If the ICD-10 conversion deadline is not further 

delayed, we expect it will result in new consulting opportunities in 2015. 

On the EHR front, cost pressures from lower Medicare reimbursements and decisions by some healthcare 

organizations to not fund significant EHR investments were the catalysts for reduced spending on EHR 

implementations, which began in the second half of 2013 and carried over to 2014. Many smaller hospitals 

that had not already invested in an interoperable EHR system decided that the cost of implementing a 

system outweighed the benefit of receiving government incentives to install one. Also, many providers 

completed implementation of EHR systems in 2014 and moved their system to a post-implementation 

environment. More provider organizations beginning implementations are looking to lower costs by 

primarily using internal resources supplemented by highly experienced external EHR consultants rather than 

engaging a full team of external EHR consultants to implement the system. CTG has and will continue to 

work with provider organizations on EHR implementations in a flexible way that meets their needs.

While not at the size of full-scale EHR implementations, partial EHR implementation consulting support and 

post-implementation support for EHR optimization, workflow redesign, and revenue cycle management 

projects will generate revenue for CTG in 2015. We are very optimistic that EHR optimization and 

performance improvement opportunities will grow as provider organizations focus on getting maximum

General Markets

Although EHR implementation spending has declined, we are seeing emerging opportunities as providers’ 

needs for external IT consulting support change. We actively responded to these opportunities in 2014 by 

expanding our advisory services offerings and consulting team to capitalize on growing client needs as they 

respond to health reform mandates and cost reduction initiatives tied to accountable care and population 

health management. 

Application management support is another area where demand continues to grow as healthcare 

organizations turn to external support to manage applications and help desk functions to reduce costs 

and shift internal resources to higher priority initiatives. We are leveraging our considerable outsourcing 

experience and expertise by expanding our team to accelerate growth in this business. These investments 

are beginning to yield positive results with several new application management engagements won in 

2014, including a large outsourcing engagement that began ramping up in the second half of the year. 

There is increasing interest from the payer market in the area of advisory services. CTG has significant 

experience in both the provider and payer markets, which provides us a competitive advantage particularly 

2

as these markets continue to converge.

IT Solutions and Data Analytics 

For several years, the focus of our IT Solutions business has been our traditional healthcare business and the 

development of data analytics solutions primarily targeted to the healthcare market. In 2014, sales of our 

medical data analytics products were also negatively impacted by lower spending in the healthcare market. In 

addition to funding constraints, providers and payers are continuing to evaluate how to best use analytics 

to drive improvements in performance, cost reductions, and clinical outcomes in the new era of healthcare 

reform. Although we wrote off our investment in our fraud, waste, and abuse software solution in 2014, we 

still see sales potential when the payer market is less burdened by the considerable costs and time required 

to comply with healthcare reform mandates, including the development of health insurance products and 

exchanges that meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act.

A large data analytics project that used our clinical decision support solution contributed nicely to 2014 

earnings, while further validating the value of our tools in helping to identify points for early chronic kidney 

disease intervention and to make cost-effective treatment decisions that produce more favorable patient 

outcomes. While sales of our data analytics offerings have not progressed at the level we initially expected, 

we are seeing interest in the marketplace in medical analytics/big data solutions, and thus are continuing 

to fine tune and enhance our analytics products suite to meet client needs as the adoption of pay-for-

performance business modeling progresses. 

Staffing 

While revenue from our staffing business decreased by 4% in 2014, demand from our staffing clients began to 

rise in the second half of the year as reflected in total headcount at year-end 2014 of 3,800. Although staffing 

carries much lower margins than our solutions business, it is a volume-driven business aided by our experience, 

strong client relationships, and value-added managed services. 

There were a number of positive developments in our staffing business in 2014. We recently renewed our 

contract with IBM, a CTG customer since 1966, through 2017. Over the last year, we increased revenue 

and headcount in business units divested by IBM where CTG has remained a principal supplier. We are also 

expanding our relationship with one of our largest clients, a Fortune 500 Global company, by providing 

professional and technical resources. Additionally, CTG was recently named a national supplier to provide 

contract IT staff to The Boeing Company, the world’s largest aerospace company and one of the largest 

global manufacturers in the Fortune 100. Our strategy for the staffing business is to continue our focus on 

expanding revenue and profit contribution through managed services by targeting high volume corporate 

users of external IT talent where we would be a preferred supplier.

Europe 

Revenue from CTG’s operations in Europe increased 2% to $78.3 million, or 20% of total revenue, in 2014. Last 

year was the fourth consecutive year of revenue growth in our European business. Headcount in Europe is 

approximately 600 and we currently operate in three countries: Belgium, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom. 

As in the United States, we are looking to expand our mix of higher margin solutions work in Europe. We 

acquired etrinity, a small Benelux healthcare IT consulting firm, in 2013 with the expectation that 

many European healthcare organizations will eventually install U.S. EHR systems to lower costs and 

improve care. We recently completed an advisory project for the first Epic (the largest U.S. EHR vendor) 

implementation in the United Kingdom. While we are pleased with the success of this project and optimistic 

we can leverage that role to gain more EHR business, we believe the widespread implementation of 

CTG was recently 

named a national 

supplier to provide 

contract IT staff 

to The Boeing 

Company, the world’s 

largest aerospace 

company and one 

of the largest global 

manufacturers in the 

Fortune 100. Our 

strategy for the 

staffing business 

is to continue our 

focus on expanding 

revenue and profit 

contribution through 

managed services 

by targeting high 

volume corporate 

users of external 

IT talent where we 

would be a preferred 

supplier.

U.S. EHRs in Europe is still one to three years away.

In addition to building our European healthcare business, we are looking to expand our business in the 

government (European Union, national, and regional organizations) and financial services markets where 

we currently have a solid foundation. We are also a leading provider of independent software testing in the 

Benelux market and have a growing remote services business. We are very optimistic regarding our market 

position in Europe. With our current services solidly in place, we look forward to growing our business there 

through higher margin EHR implementations and other solutions work. 

Looking Forward 

We foresee a challenging 2015 ahead based on the lower client spending and changes in the healthcare 

market that began in 2013, the recent completion of some large EHR implementation projects, and the lack 

of a major data analytics project. We do anticipate the continuation of a favorable business environment 

for our IT staffing business based on market conditions and our successful efforts in 2014 to position it for 

growth. While its margins are less than our healthcare and data analytics offerings, staffing brings value as a 

steady revenue and stable cash flow business. Our European business is also on solid ground and we believe 

it will achieve improved growth and profitability in 2015.

CTG’s long-term growth focus remains in healthcare IT as it has the greatest profitability and growth 

potential. Healthcare represents almost 20% of the U.S. GDP and spending on IT systems to assist in 

reducing the growth in overall healthcare costs is likely to rise given the demographic of a large aging 

population. With the transformational changes in healthcare delivery and payment models being driven by 

U.S. healthcare reform now underway, we are making the necessary investments to expand our healthcare 

offerings and resources to meet changing client needs and ensure CTG remains an industry leader in 

healthcare IT. As we manage through this period of lower client spending and adapt to changes in the 

healthcare business environment, CTG’s healthcare business is in a solid position. Based on CTG’s financial 

strength and business diversity, we will make continued investments in this sector and fully expect to come 

out of this down cycle positioned to capitalize on new opportunities in the healthcare IT consulting market. 

We have continued confidence in our ability to weather this transition period in our healthcare business 

that is currently affecting CTG’s overall ability to grow revenue and profits. CTG is a well-established and 

financially sound company that has been in business for almost 50 years. We have a strong and diversified 

business. We ended 2014 with $41 million in cash and no debt for the ninth consecutive year. We are 

in a good position to fund expansion through organic growth and select acquisitions, and to improve 

shareholder value through dividends and share repurchases. It is noteworthy that in 2014 CTG repurchased 

nearly 3% of our shares, paid a quarterly dividend, and continued to make investments in the business 

without incurring debt.

CTG remains a leader in the IT staffing and healthcare IT consulting markets and we believe that the 

changes and investments being made in our healthcare and analytics offerings will enable us to resume 

positive growth in the years beyond 2015. Management and the Board remain firmly focused on running the 

business well, prudently taking advantage of growth opportunities, and managing finances conservatively to 

favorably position CTG for long-term growth in revenue, profitability, and shareholder value.

CTG remains a leader 

in the IT staffing 

and healthcare IT 

consulting markets 

and we believe 

that the changes 

and investments 

being made in our 

healthcare and 

analytics offerings 

will enable us to 

resume positive 

growth in the years 

beyond 2015.

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 3,800 people worldwide.  
During 2014, 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 the parent 
corporation, 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 

1 

 
 
 
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 
health records (EHR) systems in integrated delivery networks and other provider organizations.  CTG also 
provides IT services to health insurance companies, and to 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 2014, 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  
CTG site, or remotely. 

In 2014, CTG continued to invest in and expand new IT Solutions development, primarily targeted to the 
healthcare market, which supports cost reductions and productivity improvements.  Previously, healthcare 
solutions under development moved from the pilot stage of testing using live data into the sales process as 
completed tools.  In 2014, the Company continued to invest in certain of these tools to expand their 
capabilities, including the Company's solution that focuses on 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 primarily support the healthcare provider 
market. 

•  

IT and Other Staffing: CTG recruits, retains, and manages IT and other talent for its clients, which are 
primarily large technology service providers and companies with multiple locations and significant need for 
high-volume external IT, administrative, or warehouse 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.  In certain limited 
instances for a small number of clients, the Company provides administrative or warehouse employees to 
clients to supplement the IT resources we place at those clients. 

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 service in both our North American and European businesses, 
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, 

2014, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

A major strategic initiative of the Company in recent years has been to focus on its IT solutions services, as 
operating margins generated by the IT solutions services are generally higher than those of the IT staffing services.  
However, growth from the IT solutions business unit has been challenging in the past several years.  Overall, the 
Company’s revenue decreased $25.8 million or 6.1% from 2013 to 2014 due to a general reduction in spending by 
many of our healthcare clients (which is included in IT solutions services) in part 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 reductions in demand from some of our IT staffing services clients.  The higher margin IT 
solutions services business decreased $15.2 million or 9.2% from 2013 to 2014, while IT staffing services 
decreased $10.6 million or 4.2% in the same period.  The Company’s operating margin in 2014 was 4.4%.  The 
decrease in operating income in 2014 from 2013 was primarily due to reduced operating leverage due to lower 
consolidated revenue, a change in the business mix to a higher level of IT staffing services which has lower direct 
profit than the IT solutions business, competitive pricing pressure from a large IT staffing client, higher medical 
costs due to increased utilization of the Company's self insured medical plan, costs of $2.0 million associated with 
the death of the Company's Chairman and CEO in the 2014 fourth quarter, and the Company's decision to take an 
impairment charge of approximately $1.5 million for software costs capitalized for an IT solution.  The Company’s 
operating margin was 5.9% in 2013, and 5.8% in 2012. 

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, 

2014, 2013 and 2012 is as follows: 

2014  

  2013

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 2012, 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 
and 2014, 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 2013.  As a result, the Company’s healthcare revenue continued to decrease in 2014, decreasing 
$19.3 million or 14.7% from 2013.  

Revenue for the Company's technology service providers vertical market as a percentage of total revenue 
decreased in 2014 as compared with 2013 due to weak demand from several of the Company's largest clients in its 
IT staffing services business unit, which are included in this vertical market.  

During 2014, the percentage of revenue attributable to the financial services market increased from 2013, 
primarily due to strong demand in our European operations.  In recent years, most of CTG’s revenue in the financial 
services market was generated from its European operations, which accounted for 97.3% of the Company’s total 
2014 revenue from the financial services vertical market.  

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

revenue in 2014 as compared with 2013 as demand in this vertical market declined with the overall revenue 
decrease of the Company of approximately 6.1%.  Generally, the decrease in the price of oil caused several of our 
clients to reduce their overall spending, including requirements for IT services, during 2014.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, CTG provided its services to approximately 475 clients in North 
America and Europe.  In North America, the Company operates in the United States and Canada, with greater than 
99% of 2014 North American revenue generated in the United States.  In Europe, the Company operates in 
Belgium, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom.  Of total 2014 consolidated revenue of $393.3 million, 
approximately 80% was generated in North America and 20% in Europe.  One client, International Business 
Machines Corporation (IBM), accounted for greater than 10% of CTG’s consolidated revenue in 2014, 2013, and 
2012. 

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, 
2014, 2013 and 2012 is as follows: 

Time-and-material

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the backlog for fixed-price and all managed-support contracts was 

approximately $41.8 million and $44.1 million, respectively.  Approximately 69.2% or $28.9 million of the 
December 31, 2014 backlog is expected to be earned in 2015.  Of the $44.1 million of backlog at December 31, 
2013, approximately 73.8%, or $32.6 million was earned in 2014.  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 companies, 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 
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 
3,800 employees worldwide, with approximately 3,200 in the United States and Canada and 600 in Europe.  Of 
these employees, approximately 3,500 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 due to 

the highly competitive market conditions that exist at this time.  Additionally, we actively compete against many 
other companies for business at new and existing clients.  Billing rate reductions or competitive pressures may lead 
to a further decline in revenue.  If we are unable to make commensurate reductions in our personnel costs, our 
margins and operating results in the future would be adversely affected. 

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 
2014, the National Technical Services Agreement (NTS Agreement) with IBM was renewed for three years until 
December 31, 2017.  In 2014, 2013, and 2012, IBM accounted for $90.5 million or 23.0%, $101.7 million or 24.3%, 
and $113.8 million or 26.8% of the Company’s consolidated revenue, respectively.  No other customer accounted 
for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue in 2014, 2013 or 2012.  The Company’s accounts receivable from 
IBM at December 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $7.8 million and $11.5 million, respectively.  In January 2014, 
IBM announced its intention to sell off its x86 server division to Lenovo, and the initial closing of that sale occurred 
on September 29, 2014.  A portion of the Company's 2014 and 2013 revenue from IBM was related to the x86 
server division.  Lenovo has not made any assurances that the Company will retain a significant share of the 
revenue derived from the x86 server division.  If IBM or Lenovo were to significantly reduce the amount of IT 
services they purchase from the Company, our revenue and operating results would be adversely affected. 

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 86.2% of our services on a time-and-materials basis during 2014.  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 

9 

 
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 and capitalized software projects, which 

are 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 $37.4 million at December 31, 2014.  We also have 
capitalized software projects recorded totaling $5.5 million at December 31, 2014.  At least annually, we evaluate 
this goodwill and capitalized software for impairment.  The goodwill is evaluated based on the fair value of the 
business operations or projects 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, or in the case of 
capitalized software, there is an absence of historical or projected revenue for the solution.  These changes could 
result in an impairment of the existing goodwill balance or the capitalized software costs that could require a 
material non-cash charge which would have an adverse impact on our results of operations. 

The introduction of new IT products or services or changes in customer requirements for IT products 
or services may render our existing IT Solutions or IT Staffing offerings obsolete or unnecessary, 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 and requirements.  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. 

We could be subject to liability and damage to our reputation resulting from cyber attacks or data 

breaches. 

Information security risks for companies providing information technology (IT) and professional services, 
especially in Healthcare-related industries, have increased over recent years. This increase in risk may be attributed 
to the value of personally identifiable information or personal data used for identity theft and fraud, the increasing 
sophistication and activities of attackers including organized crime, hackers, terrorists, activists, and other third 
parties, and the reliance on Internet-based communications, and new technologies. The Company’s operations and 
business rely on the secure processing, transmission, storage and availability of information and resources provided 
by our information technology environment. This complex environment supports a variety of technologies, 
industries, and delivery teams across the United States and Europe. 

Although the Company has not experienced any prior material data breaches or cyber incidents, its technical 

environment may become the target of cyber attacks or data breaches caused by external entities, third-party 
vendors, or the Company's personnel, both intentionally and unintentionally.  These cyber attacks or data breaches 
could result in the disruption of the Company's internal and customer-facing business operations, and could also 
result in the unauthorized disclosure, misuse, loss, and destruction of both the Company’s and its customers’ 
confidential and regulated information, including United States designated personally identifiable information (PII), 
personal data under the European Union Data Protection Directive, or protected health information (PHI) under the 
United States Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). 

The Company’s failure to protect PII, personal data, or PHI could result in reputational damage, fines and 
penalties, litigation costs, external investigations, compensation costs including reimbursement and monetary 
awards, and/or additional compliance costs which could have a material, adverse impact. It could also have an 
adverse impact on the Company’s ability to execute contracts with customers that produce or work with this data, 
and make it more difficult to recruit qualified personnel to perform its services in the future. As the cyber threat 
landscape continues to evolve or the Company’s risk profile changes, it may be required to expend additional 
resources to enhance existing protective measures or implement new mitigation strategies.

The foreign 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. 

Government cuts in healthcare programs, such as Medicare, and delays in legislative or regulatory 
healthcare mandates could cause a reduction in IT spending by our healthcare customers, which could 
materially and adversely affect our revenues and results of operations. 

The Company’s growth efforts are primarily focused in the healthcare market.  Growth in this market depends 
on continued spending by our healthcare customers on IT projects.  Cuts in government healthcare programs, such 
as sequestration, which cut Medicare reimbursements to hospitals and health systems in April 2013, may result in 
reduced expenditures by our healthcare customers on IT projects.  For example, the Company’s healthcare 
revenue decreased $19.3 million or 14.7% in 2014 from 2013. If further government cuts in healthcare programs 
were to occur, whether due to the failure of Congress to adopt a budget, pass appropriations bills or raise the U.S. 
debt ceiling or for other reasons, there may be delays, reductions or cessation of funding to our customers, which 
could cause them to purchase less IT services from us, which could materially and adversely affect our revenues 
and results of operations. 

In addition, delays in implementation of legislative or regulatory healthcare mandates could adversely affect 

the IT spending by our healthcare customers to implement such mandates.  For example, the implementation date 
for ICD-10, a diagnostic coding system used for billing in the healthcare industry, was delayed in early 2014 until 
October 1, 2015. This delay caused a number of our healthcare customers to defer spending allocated for 2014 for 
IT projects that would have updated their billings systems.  If implementation of existing or contemplated legislative 
or regulatory healthcare mandates are further deferred, the resulting reduction in IT spending by our healthcare 
customers could materially and adversely affect our revenues and 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 
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 

11 

 
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. 

In 2014 and previous years, the Company offered 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.  Beginning in 2015, the Company is 
in the process of offering compliant healthcare coverage as required.  Although it is difficult to estimate the financial 
impact of this healthcare coverage, the Company's intention is to pass the additional costs on to the customers 
where our hourly employees who elect this coverage are engaged.  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 would be negatively impacted. 

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 2014 and 2013, 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. in the markets in which we operate and the IT staffing nature of a large 
portion of our business, the Company expects these rates will not significantly change in 2015 and future years. 

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 outside of North America 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. 

Decreases in demand for IT Solutions and IT 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 the past, the U.S. economy, where the Company performs approximately 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 prior years.  Economic pressures 
also led to customers’ reducing their spending on IT projects and external professional services. Overall economic 
conditions in 2010 through 2014 stabilized in the U.S., and in 2013 began to improve in Europe. While economic 
conditions improved in 2014 in the U.S., the Company experienced a decline in revenue for its electronic health 
record business as the April 2013 sequestration caused a reduction in demand for our services from our healthcare 
clients.  Declines in spending for IT services in 2015 or future years may adversely affect our operating results 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 

12 

 
we will be able to continue to compete successfully with existing or future competitors or that future competition will 
not have a material adverse affect on our results of operations and financial condition. 

If we are unable to collect our receivables or unbilled services, our results of operations, financial 

condition and cash flows could be adversely affected. 

Our business depends on our ability to successfully obtain payment from our clients of the amounts they owe 
us for work performed. We evaluate the financial condition of our clients and typically bill and collect on reasonable 
cycles.  We might, however, not accurately assess the creditworthiness of our clients, or macroeconomic conditions 
could also result in financial difficulties for our clients, including bankruptcy and insolvency.  In certain industries, 
some clients have requested longer payment terms, which has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely 
affect, our cash flows.  The timely collection of client balances also depends on our ability to complete our 
contractual commitments as required.  If we are unable to meet our commitments, or bill our clients on a timely 
basis, our results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected. We have established allowances for 
losses of receivables and unbilled services where we deem the amounts to be uncollectible. The uncollectible 
amounts due to the Company from clients could differ from those that we currently anticipate. 

Our share price could fluctuate and be difficult to predict. 

Our share price has fluctuated in the past and could continue to fluctuate in the future in response to various 

factors. These factors include changes in macroeconomic or political factors unrelated to our business in the 
geographies in which we operate, general or industry-specific market conditions or changes in financial markets, 
our failure to meet our growth and financial objectives, including revenue growth, operating margin expansion and 
earnings per share growth, our ability to generate enough cash flow to return cash to our shareholders at historical 
levels or levels expected by our shareholders, announcements by us or competitors about developments in our 
business or prospects, and projections or speculation about our business by the media or investment analysts. 

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. 

Ineffective internal controls could impact the Company's business and operating results. 

The Company's internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of 
the inherent limitations of internal controls, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding 
of controls, poorly designed or ineffective controls, or fraud. Internal controls that are deemed to be effective can 
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of the Company's financial 
statements. If the Company fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal controls, including the failure to implement 
new or improve existing controls, or fails to properly execute or properly test these controls, the Company's 
business and operating results could be negatively impacted and the Company could fail to meet its financial 
reporting obligations. 

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, incurred but not recorded claims 
related to the Company's self insured medical plan, 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 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, 2014, these properties were not used as collateral as part of the Company’s existing demand 
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 20, 2015, there were 1,566 holders of record of the Company’s common shares.  Although the 

Company had not previously paid a dividend since 2000, it initiated a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common share 
beginning in March 2013, and increased that dividend to $0.06 per common share beginning in March 2014.  At 
December 31, 2012 and 2013, when the Company had a revolving line of credit in place, the Company was 
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 both December 31, 2012 and 2013.  There are 
no measured financial covenants under the Company's new demand line of credit.  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 on the Company’s common stock in the future is at the discretion of the 
Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, the Company’s profitability, liquidity, financial 
condition, and capital requirements.

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

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) increased bargaining power of large customers, (iv) the Company's ability to protect 
confidential client data, (v) the partial or complete loss of the revenue the Company generates from International 
Business Machines Corporation (IBM), (vi) the uncertainty of customers' implementations of cost reduction projects, 
(vii) the effect of healthcare reform and initiatives, (viii) the mix of work between staffing and solutions, (ix) currency 
exchange risks, (x) risks associated with operating in foreign jurisdictions, (xi) renegotiations, nullification, or 
breaches of contracts with customers, vendors, subcontractors or other parties, (xii) the change in valuation of 
recorded goodwill or capitalized software balances, (xiii) 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, (xiv) industry and economic conditions, including 
fluctuations in demand for IT services, (xv) consolidation among the Company's competitors or customers,  (xvi) the 
need to supplement or change our IT services in response to new offerings in the industry or changes in customer 
requirements for IT products and solutions, and (xvii) 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 2014 
there was a further overall decline in demand for our services as compared with 2013 as many of our healthcare 
clients did not begin new projects when existing projects ended due to their capital constraints.  This trend began 
when the U.S. government imposed the budget sequestration in April 2013.  Additionally, the requirements for our 
personnel were also lower in our IT staffing business in 2014. 

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

solutions and IT and other 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 and other staffing 
services, we typically supply personnel to our customers who then, in turn, take their direction from the client’s 
managers.  In certain limited instances for a small number of clients, the Company provides administrative or 
warehouse employees to clients to supplement the IT resources we place at those clients.

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. 

In 2012 and 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 
had 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, 
2014, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

Reimbursable expenses billed to customers and included in revenue totaled $8.6 million and $11.8 million in 

2014 and 2013, respectively. 

 On a consolidated basis, IT solutions revenue decreased $15.2 million or 9.2% in 2014 as compared with 
2013.  Also on a consolidated basis, IT staffing revenue decreased $10.6 million or 4.2% during 2014  as compared 
with 2013.  

In North America, the revenue decrease in 2014 as compared with 2013 was primarily due to a significant 

reduction in demand from our customers in our IT solutions healthcare business and from several of our larger IT 
staffing customers.  The decrease in IT solutions was driven in part 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 2014, including previously planned spending on IT 
projects.  Additionally, the implementation date for ICD-10, a diagnostic coding system used for billing in the 
healthcare industry, was delayed in early 2014 until at least October 1, 2015 from the previous implementation date 
of October 1, 2014.  This delay caused a number of our healthcare clients to defer or cancel spending allocated for 
2014 for IT projects that would update their billings systems.  The decrease in overall demand in our IT solutions 
business, and soft demand from several of our larger IT staffing customers, was partially offset by a large data 
analytics IT solutions project that ended on December 31, 2014.  In total, data analytics projects added 
approximately $6.0 million in revenue and $0.20 per diluted share to net income during 2014, a significant portion of 
which was generated by this one contract.  As this project ended in 2014, revenue will be slightly negatively 
affected, and diluted earnings per share will be significantly reduced in 2015 as compared with 2014 unless we are 
able to replace this project with a new project(s) that generate similar revenue and earnings for the Company.    

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 1.2%.  This increase in year-over-year revenue was primarily due to a modest increase in 

21 

 
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
 
demand in the Company’s European IT solutions services.  The revenue increase was supported by the modest 
strength 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 2014 as compared with 2013, the average value of the Euro increased 0.1%, while the average 
value of the British Pound increased 5.3%.  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 
2013 to 2014, total European revenue would have been approximately $0.2 million lower, or $78.1 million as 
compared with the $78.3 million reported.   

IBM is CTG’s largest customer.  CTG provides services to various divisions in many locations.  During the 
2014 fourth quarter, the NTS Agreement with IBM was renewed for three years until December 31, 2017.  As part of 
the NTS Agreement, the Company also provides its services as a predominant supplier to IBM’s Integrated 
Technology Services and the Systems and Technology Group business units.  This agreement accounted for 
approximately 88.5% of all of the services provided to IBM by the Company in 2014.  In 2014, 2013, and 2012, IBM 
accounted for $90.5 million or 23.0%, $101.7 million or 24.3%, and $113.8 million or 26.8% of the Company’s 
consolidated revenue, respectively.   In 2012, IBM sold its retail business 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 sell its x86 server division to Lenovo, and the initial closing of 

that sale occurred on September 29, 2014.  A portion of the Company's 2014 and 2013 revenue from IBM was 
related to the x86 server division. The Company expects to continue 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, 2014 and 2013 totaled $7.8 million and $11.5 
million, respectively.  No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue in 2014, 2013 or 
2012. 

Direct costs, defined as costs for billable staff including billable out-of-pocket expenses, were 79.8% of 
consolidated revenue in 2014 and 78.8% of consolidated revenue in 2013.  The increase in direct costs as a 
percentage of revenue in 2014 compared with 2013 was due to a shift in the Company's business mix to a lower 
percentage of IT solutions services (primarily related to EHR implementations) which has a lower direct cost as a 
percentage of revenue than our IT staffing services, and pricing pressure from a large customer in our IT staffing 
business.  The increase in direct costs was also due to an increase in fringe benefit costs consisting primarily of 
medical expenses, resulting from higher utilization of the Company's self-insured medical plan throughout much of 
2014.  Finally, during the 2014 fourth quarter, the Company recorded an impairment charge totaling approximately 
$1.5 million to write-off the net book value of its medical fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA) software solution. The 
impairment charge for the FWA solution reflects nominal sales activity in recent years and the uncertainty of sales 
for the foreseeable future for this solution given that the target market is focused on other business priorities.  The 
Company recorded the charge in the 2014 fourth quarter as several sales opportunities that had been considered 
viable throughout 2014 ended late in the year without any sales.  

In 2014 and previous years, the Company offered 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.  Beginning in 2015, the Company is 
in the process of offering compliant healthcare coverage as required.  Although it is difficult to estimate the financial 
impact of this healthcare coverage, the Company's intention is to pass the additional costs on to the customers 
where our hourly employees who elect this coverage are engaged.  However, in the event the Company is not able 
to pass some or all of these costs to its customers, the Company’s direct costs as a percentage of revenue would 
increase. 

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were 15.8% of revenue in 2014 as compared with 
15.3% of revenue in 2013.  The SG&A increase as a percentage of revenue in 2014 as compared with 2013 is 
primarily due to additional costs of $2.0 million associated with the death in the 2014 fourth quarter of the 
Company's Chairman and CEO under an employment agreement, the loss of operating leverage from lower 
revenue recorded in 2014, offset by lower incentive compensation expense in 2014 and disciplined cost 
management. 

22 

 
 
Operating income was 4.4% of revenue in 2014 as compared with 5.9% of revenue in 2013.  The decrease in 

operating income year-over-year was primarily due to the change in the business mix to a lower percentage of IT 
solutions services, higher medical costs, the costs of $2.0 million associated with the death of the Company's 
Chairman and CEO, and the software impairment charge of $1.5 million, offset by lower incentive compensation in 
2014 and the high level of profit from the data analytics project that ended on December 31, 2014.  Operating 
income from North American operations was $14.2 million and $21.8 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively, while 
European operations generated operating income of $2.9 million in both 2014 and 2013.  Operating income in 2014 
in the Company’s European operations would have been approximately $0.1 million higher if there had been no 
change in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year. 

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 2014 was 38.9%, while the 
2013 ETR was 35.6%.  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.   

Net income for 2014 was 2.6% of revenue or $0.64 per diluted share, compared with net income of 3.7% of 

revenue or $0.92 per diluted share in 2013.   In total, data analytics projects added approximately $0.20 per diluted 
share to net income during 2014, a significant portion of which was generated by one contract which ended on 
December 31, 2014.  Diluted earnings per share were calculated using 16.3 million weighted-average equivalent 
shares outstanding in 2014 and 17.0 million in 2013.  The decrease in shares year-over-year is due to purchases of 
approximately 0.5 million shares for treasury by the Company during 2014, and a lesser dilutive effect of 
outstanding equity-based compensation grants in 2014.

 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, 2013 revenue from our European 
operations increased 9.0% compared with 2012. 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 January 2013 acquisition of etrinity 

23 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
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 was CTG’s largest customer in 2012 and 2013.  Agreements to provide 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 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 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 the Company’s revenue in 2013 or 
2012. 

Direct costs 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. 

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 incentive 
compensation 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 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 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 who passed away during 2012.  This income in 2012 was partially offset by bank fees.  

The 2013 ETR was 35.6%, and the 2012 ETR was 36.5%.  The ETR in 2013 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 the applicable 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 was due to additional actual shares outstanding during 2013 as compared with 2012 due to a higher 
number of stock options exercised by optionees in 2012 and 2013.  This increase 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.

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 

As of December 31, 2014, goodwill recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet totaled $37.4 million, all 
of which relates to our Healthcare Solutions reporting unit.  In connection with our annual goodwill impairment 
test, we make various assumptions in determining the estimated fair value of the Healthcare Solutions 
reporting unit.  We perform an annual impairment review in the fourth quarter of each year. 

In accordance with current accounting guidance for “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” we perform 
goodwill impairment testing at least annually, unless indicators of impairment exist in interim periods. In 2014, 
the Company used the two-step approach to test goodwill for potential impairment. Step one compares the 
estimated fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the 
estimated fair value, step two must be performed. Step two compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to 
the fair value of all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit (including any unrecognized intangibles) as 
if the reporting unit was acquired in a business combination. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s 
goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to 
the excess. 

The impairment testing we perform may include estimates of future discounted cash flows, the appraised 

value of similar companies, or the appraised value of similar transactions from which the goodwill arose.  On 
October 24, 2014, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test in conjunction with an external consultant 
and estimated the fair value of our Healthcare Solutions reporting unit based on a combination of the income 
and the market approach.  The income approach uses a discounted cash flow (DCF) method which utilizes the 
present value of cash flows to estimate fair value of the reporting unit.  The future cash flows for our 
Healthcare Solutions reporting unit were projected based on our estimates of future revenue, operating income 
and other factors such as working capital and capital expenditures. As part of our projections, we took into 
account expected industry and market conditions for the healthcare industry, as well as trends currently 
impacting our Healthcare Solutions business unit.  The market approach utilizes multiples of revenue and 
earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to estimate the fair value of 
the reporting unit.  The market multiples used for our Healthcare Solutions reporting unit were based on 
competitor industry data, along with the market multiples for the Company and other factors. 

As part of our DCF analysis, we projected revenue and operating profit for 2015 through 2020, and 
assumed a long-term revenue growth rate of 3.0% in 2021, the “terminal year” for our analysis. We utilized a 
weighted-average cost of capital (WACC) of 15.0%, which reflected a 200 basis point increase related to 
additional risk in achieving our projections. Given the ongoing importance of technology solutions in supporting 
the continuing transformation within the healthcare industry, we believe our modest long-term growth rate and 
the WACC are reasonable to use for our future cash flow assumptions. 

Under the market approach, we estimated fair value based on comparable companies' market multiples 

of revenue and EBITDA and factored in a control premium. 

Under both the income and market approaches, the estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit as of 
October 24, 2014 exceeded the carrying value by approximately 40%.  Based upon our analysis completed 
during the annual impairment testing performed in 2013 and 2012, the estimated fair value of the unit 
exceeded the carrying value by approximately 65% in 2013, and over 100% in 2012. 

25 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Finally, we compared our estimates of fair value to the Company’s October 24, 2014 total public market 

capitalization, which included factoring in the business operations that do not have goodwill, and assessed 
implied control premiums.  Based on the results of this analysis, we concluded that the estimated fair value 
determined under our approach for the annual goodwill impairment test for our Healthcare Solutions reporting 
unit was reasonable. Under both the income approach and market approach, the estimated fair value was 
substantially in excess of the carrying value. 

We concluded that the goodwill assigned to the Healthcare Solution reporting unit as of October 24, 2014 

was not impaired and that the reporting unit was not at risk of failing step one of the goodwill impairment test 
as prescribed under the current accounting guidelines.  However, 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.  In the event the business significantly under achieves its goals for revenue and profit growth in future 
years, the carrying value for this business unit may not be supportable using a discounted cash flow projection, 
and an impairment charge may exist. 

In 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 allows 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. There were no factors that arose in 2013 and 2012 that led management to believe 
the goodwill balance was impaired. 

Income Taxes—Valuation Allowances on Deferred Tax Assets 

At December 31, 2014, the Company had a total of approximately $7.4 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, 2014, 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, 2014, 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 2014 would have 
increased or decreased net income by approximately $169,400, 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, incurred but not reported healthcare claims, 
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 

26 

 
 
 
 
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 $6.7 million, $19.0 million and $21.2 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, 

respectively.  In 2014, net income was $10.4 million, while other non-cash adjustments, primarily consisting of 
depreciation expense, equity-based compensation, deferred income taxes, deferred compensation, and loss on the 
disposal of property, equipment and capitalized software totaled $7.7 million.  In 2013 and 2012, net income was 
$15.7 million and $16.2 million, respectively, while the corresponding non-cash adjustments netted to $5.2 million 
and $5.9 million, respectively.  The increase in non-cash adjustments in 2014 as compared with 2013 was primarily 
due to additional equity-based compensation expense of approximately $0.7 million associated with the death of the 
company's Chairman and CEO and a loss on impairment of the Company's IT solutions medical fraud, waste and 
abuse software solution. 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. 

Accounts receivable balances increased $2.6 million in 2014 as compared with 2013, decreased $5.2 million 

in 2013 as compared with 2012, and increased $2.2 million in 2012 as compared with 2011.  The increase in the 
accounts receivable balance in 2014 resulted from  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 66 days at December 31, 2014, whereas the DSO at 
December 31, 2013 was 62 days.  The increase in DSO was partially offset by a decrease in revenue in the 2014 
fourth quarter of approximately 4.4% when compared with the 2013 fourth quarter. The decrease in the accounts 
receivable balance in 2013 as compared with 2012 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 DSO of one day from 61 days at December 31, 2012.  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.  This increase in revenue was offset by a decrease in DSO of 
one day from 62 days at December 31, 2011. 

Other assets increased $1.5 million in 2014, increased $1.6 million in 2013, and decreased less than $0.1 
million in 2012.  The increase in 2014 as compared with 2013 and the increase in 2013 as compared with 2012 
were 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.  Accounts payable decreased $2.4 million in 2014, 
decreased $2.6 million in 2013, and decreased $0.3 million in 2012.  The decrease in 2014 as compared with 2013 
and decrease in 2013 as compared with 2012 was primarily due to the timing of certain payments near year-end.  
Accrued compensation decreased $3.2 million in 2014 primarily due to lower incentive compensation, decreased 
$1.1 million in 2013 primarily due to lower incentive compensation and headcount, and increased $1.0 million in 
2012 primarily due to an increase in employee headcount of about 200 employees from 2011.  Income taxes 
payable decreased $2.3 million in 2014 due to the timing of payments made in 2014 and lower taxable income, 
decreased $0.2 million in 2013, and 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. 

Investing activities used $3.0 million, $6.7 million, and $2.0 million of cash in 2014, 2013 and 2012, 

respectively, primarily due to additions to property, equipment and capitalized software of $3.1 million in 2014, $4.0 
million in 2013, and $1.9 million in 2012.  The Company has no significant commitments for the purchase of 
property or equipment at December 31, 2014, and does not expect the amount to be spent in 2015 on additions to 
property, equipment and capitalized software to significantly vary from the amount spent in 2014.  Additionally, in 
2013, the Company used approximately $2.5 million, net of cash received, to acquire etrinity, an IT services firm 
providing services in Belgium and the Netherlands. 

Financing activities used $7.8 million of cash in 2014, used $7.1 million of cash in 2013, and used $1.3 million 

of cash in 2012.  The Company recorded $3.2 million, $1.7 million, and $3.8 million during 2014, 2013, and 2012, 
respectively, from the proceeds from stock option exercises and excess tax benefits from equity-based 
compensation transactions.  These amounts increased in 2014 primarily due to additional excess tax benefits 
recorded from a higher level of stock option exercises and vestings of restricted stock grants due to the death of the 
Company's Chairman and CEO.  The increase in these balances in 2012 was larger as compared with 2013 due to 
a significant increase in the Company’s stock price during 2012 which led to a higher level of stock option exercises. 

The Company began to pay a dividend in the first quarter of 2013, and increased the payout rate in 2014 as 

compared with 2013, resulting in cash outflows of $3.4 million in 2014 and $2.3 million in 2013. 

27 

 
During 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company used $7.4 million, $7.3 million, and $4.6 million, respectively, to 
purchase approximately 0.5 million, 0.4 million, and 0.3 million shares of its stock for treasury.  Approximately 0.6 
million, 1.1 million, and 0.5 million shares remained authorized for future purchases under the Company’s share 
repurchase plan at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  During October 2013, the Company's Board 
of Director's authorized 1.0 million additional shares for future stock repurchases under the program.  At 
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company also experienced changes in its cash account overdrafts, which 
are primarily due to the timing of payments near year-end, of $0.4 million, $0.5 million, and $(0.8) million, 
respectively. 

The Company's revolving credit agreement expired in April 2014 and previously allowed the Company to 
borrow up to $35.0 million. During April 2014, the Company entered into a new demand line of credit with its banks 
totaling $40.0 million, and did not have any amount outstanding under this credit agreement at December 31, 2014.  
Although the Company did not have any borrowings outstanding under its line of credit at December 31, 2013, there 
was a letter of credit issued as of that date totaling $0.6 million.  The Company borrows or repays its debt as 
needed based upon its working capital obligations, including the timing of the U.S. bi-weekly payroll. The Company 
did not borrow any funds under its credit agreements during 2014, 2013 or 2012. 

Previously under its revolving credit line, the Company was required to meet certain financial covenants in 

order to maintain borrowings, pay dividends, and make acquisitions.  There are no measured financial covenants 
under the new demand line of credit.  The Company was in compliance with its previously required covenants 
at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. 

Of the total cash and cash equivalents reported on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 of 

$40.9 million, approximately $10.7 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 net $2.5 million 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, cash potentially generated from future operations, 
and borrowings available under the Company's demand line of credit totaling $40.0 million at December 31, 2014 
will be sufficient to meet foreseeable working capital and capital expenditure needs, pay dividends (if any are 
declared), fund stock repurchases (if any are made), 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 2014, 2013 or 2012 other than 
guarantees in our European operations which support office leases and performance under government contracts.  
These guarantees totaled approximately $1.6 million at December 31, 2014.  The balance of the guarantees 
decreased in 2014 due to a renegotiation of the lease agreement associated with the Company's Belgium office, as 
well as due to a decrease in the value of the Euro as compared with the US dollar. 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk 

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 
2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," ("ASU 2014-09").  ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, 
single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and 
supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue 
recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new 
model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an 
amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The 
pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 
2016, and early adoption is not permitted.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new 
accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

A  A $40.0 million demand credit line (LOC) was entered into in April 2014.  The Company uses this LOC 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, 2014.  

B  The Company does not have any capital lease obligations outstanding at December 31, 2014. 
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 2014, 2013 and 2012 was 
approximately $7.0 million, $7.0 million, and $6.3 million, respectively. 

D  The Company’s purchase obligations in 2015, 2016 and 2017 total approximately $2.9 million, including $1.2 

million for software maintenance, support and related fees, $0.6 million for telecommunications, $0.6 million for 
recruiting services, $0.4 million for professional organization memberships, and $0.1 million for computer-based 
training courses. 

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 2014 were $0.2 million. The Company anticipates making contributions 
totaling approximately $0.1 million in 2015 to this plan for amounts earned in 2014. 

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 exposure consists of foreign currency exchange risk associated with the 

Company’s European operations. 

During 2014, 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 2013 to 2014, total European 
revenue would have been approximately $0.2 million lower in 2014, or $78.1 million as compared with the $78.3 
million reported.  Operating income in the Company’s European operations would have been approximately $0.1 
million higher if there had been no change in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year. 

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.  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, estimates of progress toward completion and direct profit or loss on contracts, legal matters, and other 
contingencies.  The current economic environments in the United States, Canada, and Western Europe where the 
Company has operations have 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 and other 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.  In certain limited instances for a small number of 
clients, the Company provides administrative or warehouse employees to clients to supplement the IT resources we 
place at those clients.  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, 

2014, 2013 and 2012 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 

38 

 
 
 
 
 
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, 
2014, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

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

expenses totaled $8.6 million, $11.8 million, and $13.4 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 

Software Revenue Recognition 

In 2012 and 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 
had 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, 2014 and 2013, the carrying amounts of the Company’s cash of $40.9 million and $46.2 

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, 2014 or 2013. 

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, 2014 
and December 31, 2013, these insurance policies had a gross cash surrender value of $27.6 million and $26.2 
million, respectively, loans had been taken totaling $23.1 million in both periods, and the net cash surrender value 
balance of $4.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively, was included on the consolidated balance sheet in “Other 
Assets” under non-current assets. 

39 

 
 
 
At December 31, 2014, the total death benefit for the remaining policies was approximately $38.8 million.  

Currently, upon the death of all of the remaining plan participants, the Company would expect to receive 
approximately $15.1 million after the payment of outstanding loans and other commitments, 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 65 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 passed.  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 $(31,000), $0.2 million, and $(40,000) in 2014, 2013, 

and 2012, respectively. 

Property, 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had capitalized costs relating to software 

projects developed for internal use.  Amortization periods for these projects range from two to five years, and begin 
when the software, or enhancements thereto, is available for its intended use.  Amortization periods are evaluated 
annually for propriety. 

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, 
2014. 

40 

 
 
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 $37.4 million at December 31, 2014.  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 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company completed its annual valuation 
of the business to which the Company’s goodwill relates.   In 2014, the Company utilized the services of an external 
valuation consultant, while in 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.  From its reviews, 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 2014, 2013 or 2012 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 both 2014 and 
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 (if any) 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 2014, 2013, and 2012 statements of income on a straight-line basis based upon awards that 
are ultimately expected to vest.  See note 10, “Equity-Based Compensation.”

Weighted-average shares represent the average number of issued shares less treasury shares and shares 

held in the Stock Trusts, and for the basic EPS calculations, unvested restricted stock. 

Certain options representing 0.6 million, 0.1 million, and 0.1 million shares of common stock were outstanding 

at December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings 
per share as their effect on the computation would have been anti-dilutive. 

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss 

The components that comprised accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets 

at December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 are as follows: 

(amounts in thousands)

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 
2014, 2013, and 2012 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 $1.6 million and $2.7 million 
at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and generally have expiration dates ranging from January 2015 
through June 2019.  The dollar value of the guarantees decreased at December 31, 2014 as compared with 
December 31, 2013 due to a renegotiation of the office lease agreement for the Company's Belgium office as well 
as a decrease in the value of the Euro as compared with the US dollar during 2014. 

Acquisition 

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

and the Netherlands for approximately $2.8 million.  Founded in 2000, etrinity's 2014, 2013 and 2012 revenue 
approximated U.S. $2.1 million, $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.   

Recently Issued Accounting Standards 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 
2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," ("ASU 2014-09").  ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, 
single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and 
supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue 
recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new 
model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an 
amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The 
pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 
2016, and early adoption is not permitted.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new 
accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

The Company recorded additions to capitalized software of $1.7 million in both of the years ended 

December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  As of these dates the Company had capitalized a total of $5.5 million 
and $5.8 million, respectively, solely for software projects developed for internal use.  Accumulated amortization for 
these projects totaled $4.2 million and $3.4 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.   

Amortization expense for these projects totaled $1.2 million, $1.2 million, and $1.7 million in 2014, 2013, and 

2012, respectively. 

During the 2014 fourth quarter, the Company recorded the expense for the impairment of one of its capitalized 

software projects (fraud, waste and abuse software solution) after determining that it had no net realizable value.  
The impairment was a result of nominal sales results for this software solution in recent years, and the uncertainty 
of sales in the foreseeable future.  The remaining net asset value, totaling approximately $1.5 million, was 
expensed to direct costs in the fourth quarter operating results.  The Company recorded the charge in the 2014 
fourth quarter as several sales opportunities that had been considered viable throughout 2014 ended late in the 
year without any sales.  

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, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s 
investment balances, which are classified as trading securities, totaled approximately $0.8 million and $0.9 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 2014, 2013, and 2012. 

4.  

Debt 

The Company's revolving credit agreement expired in April 2014 and previously allowed the Company to 
borrow up to $35.0 million. During April 2014, the Company entered into a new, demand line of credit with its banks 
totaling $40.0 million.  At both December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no amounts outstanding under either of 
these credit agreements.  Although there were no borrowings outstanding, at December 31, 2013 there was a $0.6 
million letter of credit issued under the revolving credit agreement.  The Company borrows or repays its debt as 
needed based upon its working capital obligations, including the timing of the U.S. bi-weekly payroll. The Company 
did not borrow any funds under its credit agreements during 2014, 2013 or 2012. 

The Company was previously required to meet certain financial covenants in order to maintain borrowings 

under its revolving credit line, pay dividends, and make acquisitions. There are no measured financial covenants 
under the new demand line of credit. The Company was in compliance with its previously required covenants

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 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.

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, 2014, 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 $1.4 million, and began to expire 
in 2014, while in the United Kingdom and Belgium, the net operating loss carryforwards are approximately $3.6 
million and $0.2 million, respectively, and have no expiration date. 

46 

 
 
 
   
 
     
 
     
 
     
 
     
At December 31, 2014, 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 $0.8 million, in Belgium of approximately $0.1 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, 2014, 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 2014, the net increase in the valuation allowance was approximately $1.0 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 2010.

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 (if any) in 
tax expense, as applicable.  At December 31, 2014, the Company had no accrual for the payment of interest and 
penalties. 

The Company will establish an unrecognized tax benefit 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, 2014, the Company believes it has 
adequately provided for its tax-related liabilities, and that no reserve for unrecognized tax benefits is necessary. 

At December 31, 2014, the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries amounted to approximately $18.4 

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 2014, 2013, and 2012, a total of 543,000, 87,000, and 461,000 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 $2.0 million, $0.5 million, and $2.2 million 
in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.  These tax benefits have also been recognized in the consolidated balance 
sheets as a reduction of income taxes payable. 

47 

 
 
Net income tax payments during 2014, 2013, and 2012 totaled $5.8 million, $7.1 million, and $6.5 million, 

respectively. 

6.  

Lease Commitments 

At December 31, 2014, 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, 2014 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 2014, 2013, and 2012 was approximately $7.0 
million, $7.0 million, and $6.3 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, 2014, 2013, and 2012 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 $90,000, $49,000, and $118,000 for the years ending 
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

For the ESBP, the accumulated benefit obligation at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $8.3 million and $7.5 
million, respectively.  The amounts included in other comprehensive loss relating to the pension loss adjustment in 
2014 and 2013, net of tax, were approximately $0.7 million and $(0.4) million, respectively.  The discount rate used 
in 2014 was 3.30%, 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 a decrease of 57 basis points from the rate used in the prior year and resulted in an increase in 
the plan’s liabilities of approximately $0.4 million.  Benefits paid to participants are funded by the Company as 
needed, and are expected to total approximately $0.7 million in 2015.  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 
2015 or future years. 

For the NDBP, the accumulated benefit obligation at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $14.9 million and 

$11.6 million, respectively.  The discount rate used in 2014 was 1.50%, 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 a decrease of 170 basis points from the rate used in the prior year due to the declining economic 
environment in Europe, and resulted in an increase in the plan’s liabilities of $4.4 million in 2014. 

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

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 and discount rates.  In 2014 and 2013, the plan investments 
had a targeted minimum return to the Company of 4.0%, which is consistent with historical returns and the 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 2015. 

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, 2014 are $2.0 million 
and $7.8 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, 2013 were $1.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively, also for unrecognized actuarial losses. 

The amounts recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, for 2014, 2013, and 2012, which 

primarily consist of an actuarial gain (loss), totaled $(4.6) million (primarily due to the decrease in the discount rate 
for the NDBP), $1.3 million, and $(2.8) million, respectively.  Net periodic pension benefit (cost), and the amounts 
recognized in other comprehensive loss, net of tax, for the ESBP and the NDBP for 2014, 2013, and 2012 totaled 
$(5.1) million, $0.8 million, and $2.1 million, respectively. 

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

periodic benefit cost during 2015 for the ESBP and the NDBP for unrecognized actuarial losses total $0.4 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 $0.2 million in contributions to the plan in 2014 for amounts earned in 2013, $0.3 million in 
contributions to the plan in 2013 for amounts earned in 2012, and $0.4 million in contributions to the plan in 2012 
for amounts earned in 2011.  The Company anticipates making contributions in 2015 totaling approximately $0.1 
million to this plan for amounts earned in 2014.  The investments in the plan are included in the total assets of the 
Company, and are discussed in note 3, “Investments.”  During 2014, 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, but 
will receive dividends if any are paid.  The shares are being held by the Company, and will be released to the 
participants as prescribed by their payment election 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 approximately $0.4 million 
in 2014, and less than $0.1 million for both 2013 and 2012.  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, but will receive dividends if any are paid.  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.

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 $2.3 million, $2.4 million, and $2.8 
million for 2014, 2013, and 2012, 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 $0.2 million in 2014, and $0.1 
million in both 2013, and 2012. 

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.  In 2014 and previous years, the Company offered 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.  
Beginning in 2015, the Company is in the process of offering compliant healthcare coverage as required.

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, 2014, approximately 
218,000 shares remain unissued under the ESPP.  During 2014, 2013, and 2012, approximately 24,000, 19,000, 
and 19,000 shares, respectively, were purchased under the ESPP at an average price of $13.35, $19.72, and 
$15.29 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, 2014, 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 2014, 2013, or 2012, and there were 3.3 million shares in the SECT at each of 
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. 

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 2014, 2013, or 2012, and there were 59,000 shares in the OST at each of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 
2012. 

Preferred Stock 

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had 2.5 million shares of par value $0.01 preferred stock 

authorized for issuance, but none outstanding.

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 2014, 2013 and 2012 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 1,300,000 shares may be granted or awarded under 
the 2010 plan, 628,000 of which are available for grant as of December 31, 2014. 

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, 2014. 

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, 2014. 

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

granted to certain key employees, 95,000 of which are available for grant as of December 31, 2014. 

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 2014, 2013, and 2012 was $5.91, $5.78, and $5.47, 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, 2014, 2013 and 2012: 

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

2014

0.0%
0.4%
61.3%

52 

 
 
   
   
 
     
     
 
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 2012, 
2013 and 2014.  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 beginning to pay dividends in 2013, and 
the expectation of paying dividends in the foreseeable future. 

During 2012, 2013 and 2014, 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, 2014, total remaining stock-based compensation expense for non-vested equity-based 
compensation was approximately $2.7 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.  During the 2014 

fourth quarter, our contract with IBM was renewed for three years until December 31, 2017.  In 2014, 2013, and 
2012, IBM accounted for $90.5 million or 23.0%, $101.7 million or 24.3%, and $113.8 million or 26.8% of the 
Company’s consolidated revenue, respectively.  In 2012, IBM sold its retail business to 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, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $7.8 million and $11.5 million, respectively.  No 
other customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue in 2014, 2013, or 2012. 

In January 2014, IBM announced its intention to sell its x86 server division to Lenovo, and the initial closing of 

that sale occurred on September 29, 2014.  A portion of the Company's 2014 and 2013 revenue from IBM was 
related to the x86 server division. The Company expects to continue 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, 2014 and 2013, 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, 
2014 and 2013, 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.

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 Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim 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 Interim 
Chief Executive Officer and Interim 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, 2014. 

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, 
2014, 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, 2014, 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, 2014 
and 2013, 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, 2014, and our report 
dated February 25, 2015 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 Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief 
Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end 
of the period covered by this annual report.  There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial 
reporting that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter, which ended on December 31, 2014, that 
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial 
reporting. 

Item 9B.  

Other Information 

In October 2014, the Company entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with 

Mr. Brendan M. Harrington, the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer.  Pursuant to the Employment 
Agreement: 

•   Mr. Harrington's compensation will be reviewed and adjusted annually by the Compensation Committee 

as appropriate; 

•   either party may terminate the employment relationship upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the 

other; 

•   competitive activities, and other activities adverse to the Company's interests, are prohibited during the 

term of the employment relationship  and for a one (1) year period after termination thereof. 

The Employment Agreement also provides severance compensation in the event of termination.  In the event 
of termination by Mr. Harrington for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), or by the Company 
other than for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), or if he dies or becomes disabled, Mr. Harrington 
will receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the average annual total cash compensation paid to him in the three 
(3) years leading up to the actual date of termination.  Mr. Harrington will also continue to receive medical and 
dental benefits for a period of twelve (12) months. In the event Mr. Harrington remains unemployed following the six 
(6) month anniversary of the date of termination, he will receive a second lump sum cash payment equal to fifty 
percent (50%) of the initial lump sum payment received. 

On November 11, 2014, the Company entered into a new change in control agreement with Mr. Harrington.  

The agreement provides that upon the occurrence of a change in control, Mr. Harrington will become fully vested in 
and entitled to exercise immediately all stock related awards he has been granted under any plans or agreements 
of the Company.  The agreement goes on to provide that upon the termination of Mr. Harrington’s employment 
(a) without cause by the Company or by him with good reason within 6 months before a change in control or 
between 6 months and 24 months following a change in control or (b) by him for any reason within 6 months after a 
change in control, Mr. Harrington will receive a lump sum payment equal to 2.99 times his full salary and 2.99 times 
his highest annual Incentive over the last three years as well as an additional lump sum to cover fringe benefits.  A 
change in control will occur if (1) the Company’s stockholders approve (a) the dissolution or liquidation of the 
Company, (b) the merger or consolidation or other reorganization of the Company with any other entity other than a 
subsidiary of the Company, or (c) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s business or assets or (2) any 
person other than the Company or its subsidiaries or employee benefit plans becomes the beneficial owner of more 
than 20% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities or (3) during any period not 
longer than two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board cease to 
constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election of each new Board member was approved by a vote of at 
least three-quarters of the Board members then still in office who were Board members at the beginning of such 
period.
