Broadbean Business
Notes to the Combined Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023
(in thousands)
Note 1. Description of Business
CareerBuilder, LLC (“CareerBuilder” or the “Parent”), a Delaware limited liability company, sold its Broadbean business (“Broadbean” or the “Company” unless otherwise specified) on June 13, 2023. Broadbean is a carve-out business of CareerBuilder that develops and deploys turnkey talent acquisition software and applications for its customers, integrated into applicant tracking software platforms, and offers advertisement distribution and response management services. Broadbean is headquartered in the United Kingdom and was acquired by CareerBuilder in 2014. The Company operates in Europe, Australia, India and North America.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation, Principles of Combination and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Combination
Throughout the period included in these combined condensed financial statements, the Company operated as part of CareerBuilder. Separate financial statements have not historically been prepared for the Company. These combined condensed financial statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis derived from the historical accounting records of CareerBuilder as if the Company’s operations had been conducted independently of CareerBuilder for the period presented. These combined condensed financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and the notes thereto (“Combined Financial Statements”) are presented as carve-out financial statements and reflect the combined historical results of operations, comprehensive income, balance sheet and cash flows of the Company, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
These Combined Financial Statements include the historical operations of the Company and may not be indicative of what they would have been had the Company been an independent stand-alone entity, nor are they necessarily indicative of the Company’s future results of operations, financial position and cash flows. All intercompany balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated in these Combined Financial Statements. As described in Note 8, certain transactions between the Company and CareerBuilder have been included in these Combined Financial Statements. These transactions do not traditionally settle on a regular basis and are reflected as equity in the Combined Financial Statements.
The Combined Balance Sheet reflects among other things, all of the assets and liabilities that are specifically identifiable as being directly attributable to the Company, including net parent investment as a component of equity. Net parent investment represents CareerBuilder’s historical investment in the Company and includes accumulated net income and the net effect of transactions with CareerBuilder.
CareerBuilder uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. These arrangements are not reflective of the manner in which the Company would have financed its operations had it been a stand-alone business separate from CareerBuilder during the periods presented. Intercompany arrangements, cash pooling, and related interest absent of cash settlement are excluded from the asset and liability balances in the Combined Balance Sheet. These amounts have instead been reported as Net parent investment as a component of equity.
CareerBuilder and its affiliates provide a variety of services to the Company. The Combined Statement of Operations include expenses directly billed or allocated for services and certain support functions (“CareerBuilder Corporate Overhead”) that are provided on a centralized basis within CareerBuilder such as legal, business development, insurance, human resources, corporate functions, treasury, and various other CareerBuilder functions as further discussed in Note 8. Retirement and incentive plans were included within the Combined Financial Statements based on either specific identification of direct expenses or an allocation using an approach related to the nature of the item.
Where allocations of CareerBuilder Corporate Overhead amounts were necessary, management believes the allocation of these amounts were determined on a reasonable basis, reflecting all of the costs of the Company and consistently applied in the periods presented. These allocated amounts, however, are not necessarily indicative of the actual amounts that might have been incurred had the Company operated as a separate stand-alone entity during the periods presented.
The information included in these interim Combined Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the information included in the Company’s Combined Financial Statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022. Interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results the Company will have for the full year ending December 31, 2023. The accompanying Combined Financial Statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual Combined Financial Statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which are normal, recurring and necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Use of Estimates in Financial Reporting
8
Broadbean Business
Notes to the Combined Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023
(in thousands)
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s results are translated from the local currency of each entity into the reporting currency of United States Dollar (“USD”) using average rates for profit and loss transactions and applicable spot rates for period-end balances. The effect of translating the local currency into the reporting currency is reported separately in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Combined Balance Sheet. Realized foreign currency translation gains and losses are the only item recorded within Other expense, net on the Combined Statement of Operations.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company extends credit to its customers on an unsecured basis in the normal course of business. The Company maintains reserves for credit losses, and such losses have historically been within management’s expectations. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on the length of time the receivable is past due and the anticipated future write-off based on historical experience. Accounts receivable are written off when all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. There are no customers that individually represent more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable or more than 10% of revenues as of March 31, 2023. Bad debt expense recorded in the Combined Statement of Operations was $16 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, included within General and administrative expenses.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes market data or assumptions that it believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which would maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique.
In evaluating the fair value measurement techniques for recording certain financial assets and liabilities, there is a three-level valuation hierarchy under which financial assets and liabilities are designated. The determination of the applicable level within the hierarchy of a particular financial asset or liability depends on the inputs used in valuation as of the measurement date. Valuations based on observable or market-based inputs for identical asset or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) are given the highest level of priority, whereas valuations based on unobservable or internally derived inputs (Level 3 measurement) are given the lowest level of priority. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying amounts for cash equivalents approximate fair value, which is the amount for which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.
The fair value of certain assets such as nonfinancial assets, primarily long-lived assets, goodwill, intangible assets, and certain other assets are recognized or disclosed in connection with impairment evaluations. The amounts assigned to intangible assets and goodwill are based on best estimate of the fair value. The Company used an independent valuation specialist to assist in determining the fair value of the identified intangible assets as of the Apollo Acquisition. The fair value of the significant identified intangible assets is generally estimated using a combination of an income approach using the discounted cash flow analysis and market approach using the guideline public company analysis.
The Company did not have any financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023.
9
Broadbean Business
Notes to the Combined Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023
(in thousands)
The carrying amounts of the Company’s remaining financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate fair value because of their short-term nature and the relatively stable current interest rate environment.
As of March 31, 2023, no impairments were identified on those assets required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
Geographic Information
Revenue is attributed to geographic regions based on locations where services are provided to the Company’s customers. Foreign countries outside of the United Kingdom, in aggregate, accounted for approximately 47% of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023. In addition, as of March 31, 2023, property and equipment and operating lease ROU assets outside of the United Kingdom were approximately 7% of the Company’s total property and equipment and operating lease ROU assets.
Internal-Use Software and Product Development Cost
The Company capitalizes eligible costs associated with the development of its internal-use software in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software. Accordingly, the Company capitalizes costs incurred during the development phase including: (1) external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining the software, and (2) payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with the project. The Company expenses all costs as incurred that relate to the planning and post implementation phases of its software development cycle and costs associated with minor enhancements and maintenance. Expensed costs are included within Product development on the Combined Statement of Operations. During the period ended March 31, 2023, the Company capitalized $689 of software development costs. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over three years. Amortization of internal-use software costs associated with the Company’s marketplace technology to provide services to its customers is recorded in cost of revenue. Amortization of internal-use software costs associated with internal databases, candidate insights, and reporting are recorded in research and development and general and administrative expenses in the Combined Statements of Operations. Amortization of these costs is allocated in the Combined Statements of Operations based on the nature of the underlying projects.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
The Company reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded they were either not applicable or not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Combined Financial Statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the existing model for measuring the allowance for credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost (including accounts receivable) to a model that is based on the expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new credit loss model, lifetime expected credit losses on such financial assets are measured and recognized at each reporting date based on historical, current, and forecasted information. Subsequent to ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued various ASUs to provide supplemental guidance and clarification to ASU 2016-13 which must be adopted concurrently with the adoption of ASU 2016-13. These ASUs are cumulatively referred to as “Topic 326.” The Company adopted Topic 326 as of January 1, 2023, and the impact of the adoption was not material to the Combined Financial Statements as credit losses are not expected to be significant based on historical collection trends, the financial condition of payment partners, and external market factors.
Note 3. Revenue

Contract Balances
Contract liabilities are recorded as deferred revenue when customer payments are received in advance of the Company meeting all the revenue recognition criteria under ASC 606. Deferred revenue includes prepaid subscription and revenue with performance obligations yet to be satisfied. Generally, the remaining performance obligations within the contracts will be satisfied within one to three years. However, the performance obligations are billed on an annual basis and thus, the Deferred revenue on the Combined Balance Sheet only reflects the performance obligation due within a year. The Company recognized $4,364 of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023, that was included in the Deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no contract assets.
Performance Obligations
No revenue was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had remaining performance obligations expected to be recognized in the future. Generally, any remaining performance obligations relate primarily to subscription services such as time-based job posting plans, upsell services, and resume database plans that will be invoiced in future periods, and exclude (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company only recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed. The value related to performance obligations that are yet to be satisfied as of March 31, 2023 was $31,602, which includes $10,484 of Deferred revenue.

Depreciation expense of property and equipment was $595 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, including $542 of amortization of capitalized computer software development costs.
Unamortized capitalized computer software development costs were $3,886 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and are included in Property and equipment, net.
Note 5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill was measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of the purchase of CareerBuilder by Apollo Global Management (“Apollo”) in 2017 (“Apollo Acquisition”). The allocation of the purchase price to identifiable intangible assets is based on the fair values of such assets as of the acquisition dates. At the Apollo Acquisition date goodwill was allocated to the various businesses of the Parent including the Broadbean business.
The Company recorded goodwill of $7,548 as of that acquisition date. Goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the Broadbean assembled workforce.

Notes to the Combined Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023
(in thousands)
The accompanying Combined Financial Statements are prepared on a stand-alone basis and are derived from CareerBuilder’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records.
Transactions between the Company and the Parent have been classified as related-party transactions. All related party transactions between the Company and Parent have been included in these Combined Financial Statements. On the Combined Balance sheet, all related party balances are presented net in the equity section of the Combined Financial Statements as there is not a history of settling these transactions using cash.
Corporate Overhead Allocations
CareerBuilder performed certain corporate functions, including executive support, facilities, finance, HR, legal, security, global IT, and other corporate functions on behalf of the Company. The expenses associated with these functions have been allocated based on direct usage or benefit where specifically identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a proportional cost allocation method based primarily on revenue or employee headcount, as applicable. Total expenses allocated for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $1,848. These amounts include costs of $1,713 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, that were not historically allocated to the Company as part of CareerBuilder’s reporting process. The Company considers the expense methodology and resulting allocation to be reasonable for the period presented; however, the allocations may not be indicative of actual expenses that would have been incurred had the Company operated as an independent company for the period presented. Actual costs incurred had the Company been a stand-alone company would depend on several factors, including the chosen organizational structure and functions outsourced or performed by employees.
The following table summarizes corporate allocations from CareerBuilder included in the Combined Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023:

Cash Management
The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the Combined Statement of Cash Flows as a financing activity and in the Combined Balance Sheet as Net parent investment. The Company historically has not regularly settled balances with CareerBuilder and the Company has funded its own operating and investing activities.
Related Party Sales
There were no operational sales to or from CareerBuilder for any of the periods presented.
Net Parent Investment
The net transfers to Parent for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $1,326.
The accompanying Combined Statement of Changes in Equity and Combined Statement of Cash Flows are prepared in accordance with GAAP. As a result of carveout methodology as described in the Basis of Presentation, differences exist related to exchange rates and other noncash items between the Combined Statements of Changes in Equity and the Combined Statements of Cash Flows with regard to transfers to and from Parent.
The components of the net transfers to and from Parent as of March 31, 2023 are as follows:

Note 9. Retirement and Incentive Plans
The Company sponsors a defined-contribution retirement plan available to U.S.-based employees. Participants are fully vested after two years of service. Matching contributions are made by the Company once annually at the end of the year and are paid in the following year. The match expense was $25 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Post-Retirement Benefit Contributions to Government Agencies
The Company is required by laws of certain jurisdictions to deduct specific monthly payroll amounts to support post-retirement benefit programs sponsored by the relevant government agencies. As the ultimate obligation of these jurisdictional programs is maintained by the relevant government agencies, there is no additional liability recorded by the Company in connection with these plans.
Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. If the Company determines that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable, the Company will record a liability. However, if the Company determines that a contingent loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company will disclose the possible loss in the Combined Financial Statements. Legal costs relating to loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Although claims are inherently unpredictable, the Company is not currently aware of any matters that it expects to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, no material loss contingency has been recorded on the Combined Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2023.
Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scopes and terms to customers, investors, directors and officers with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company’s breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company, or from certain claims made by third parties. These indemnification provisions may survive termination of the underlying agreement and the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is indeterminable. The Company did not pay any material claims, nor was the Company sued in connection with these indemnification arrangements for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has not accrued a liability for these indemnification arrangements because the likelihood of incurring a payment obligation, if any, in connection with these indemnification arrangements is neither probable nor reasonably estimable.
Note 11. Income Taxes
The provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates the estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated tax rate changes, the Company records a cumulative adjustment.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 24%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% is primarily due to a valuation allowance established on the majority of the Company’s U.S. and foreign net deferred tax assets.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company continues to provide a valuation allowance against all U.S., France, and Australia deferred tax assets. The Company continues to evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance. If the Company’s assessment of the deferred tax assets or the corresponding valuation allowance were to change, the Company would record the related adjustment to income during the period in which the determination is made.
