NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note One — General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Mattersight Corporation (“we,” “Mattersight,” or the “Company”) include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our condensed consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the condensed consolidated results of our operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 29, 2012, the condensed consolidated statements of our comprehensive loss for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 29, 2012, and our condensed consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 29, 2012, and are in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and in conformity with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X; provided, that certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in Mattersight’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on March 14, 2013. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain 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 could differ from those estimates.

Note Two — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

For a description of the Company’s Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, see Note Two “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

In accordance with ASC 480-10 (“Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”), the Company classified warrants as a liability. The liability is remeasured to fair value at each subsequent reporting date. Increases in fair value are recorded as losses on our condensed consolidated statement of operations, while decreases are recorded as gains. If classified as equity, contingent consideration is not remeasured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Fair value of the warrants was measured using a Monte Carlo option pricing model and in applying this model certain assumptions were used. See Note Thirteen, “Stock Warrants”.

Note Three — Discontinued Operations

The Company sold its Integrated Contact Solutions (“ICS”) Business Unit and “eLoyalty” registered trademark / trade name to Magellan Acquisition Sub, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of TeleTech Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, on May 28, 2011, and the Company changed its name from eLoyalty Corporation to Mattersight Corporation effective May 31, 2011. Therefore, the results of operations of the ICS Business Unit are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Additionally, certain corporate and general costs that had historically been allocated to the ICS Business Unit were reallocated to the Company and are reflected in all periods presented.

The following table summarizes the components included within income from discontinued operations, net of tax, within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods indicated.

Table of Contents

Intraperiod tax allocation requires that the provision for income taxes be allocated between continuing operations and other categories of earnings (such as discontinued operations or other comprehensive loss) for each tax jurisdiction. In periods in which there is a year-to-date pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in other categories of earnings, the tax provision is first allocated to the other categories of earnings. A related tax benefit is then recorded in continuing operations. While intraperiod tax allocation in general does not change the overall tax provision, it may result in a gross-up of the individual components, thereby changing the amount of tax provision included in each category. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the intraperiod allocation was not applicable because we no longer have any discontinued operations activity. For the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2012, the intraperiod allocation was not applicable because we had a pretax loss in both continuing and discontinued operations. Included in discontinued operations income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2012 is a tax benefit of $0.3 million due to a favorable ruling from the Internal Revenue Service. The Company no longer anticipates any impact on income from discontinued operations due to the sale of the ICS Business Unit.

Note Four — Revenue Recognition

Behavioral Analytics Revenue

Behavioral Analytics revenue consists of Managed services revenue and Consulting services revenue derived from the performance of the Behavioral Analytics Service and related services (collectively, “Behavioral Analytics”).

Managed services revenue consists of planning, deployment, training, and subscription fees derived from Behavioral Analytics contracts. Planning, deployment, and training fees, which are considered to be installation fees related to Behavioral Analytics subscription contracts, are deferred until the installation is complete and are then recognized over the subscription period of the applicable subscription contract. The subscription periods of these contracts generally range from three to five years after the go-live date or, in cases where the Company contracts with a client for a short-term pilot of Behavioral Analytics prior to committing to a longer subscription period, if any, the subscription or pilot periods generally range from three to twelve months after the go-live date. Installation costs incurred are deferred up to an amount not to exceed the amount of deferred installation revenue and additional amounts that are recoverable based on the contractual arrangement. These costs are included in Prepaid expenses and Other long-term assets. Such costs are amortized over the subscription period of the contract. Costs in excess of the foregoing revenue amount are expensed in the period incurred.

The amount of revenue generated from subscription fees is based on a number of factors, such as the number of users to whom the Behavioral Analytics Service is provided, the type and number of Behavioral Analytics offerings deployed to the client, and in some cases, the number of hours of calls analyzed during the relevant month of the subscription period. This revenue is recognized as the service is performed for the client.

Consulting services revenue primarily consists of fees charged to the Company’s clients to provide post-deployment follow-on consulting services, which include custom data analysis, the implementation of enhancements, and training. These follow-on consulting services are generally performed for the Company’s clients on a fixed-fee basis. Revenue is recognized as the services are performed, with performance generally assessed on the ratio of actual hours incurred to-date compared to the total estimated hours over the entire term of the contract.

Other Revenue

Other revenue consists of Marketing Managed Services revenue and CRM Services revenue.

Marketing Managed Services revenue is derived from marketing application hosting. This revenue is generally in the form of fixed monthly fees received from the Company’s clients and is recognized as the services are performed for the client. Any related setup fee is recognized over the term of the hosting contract.

CRM Services revenue consists of fees generated from the Company’s operational consulting services, which are provided to the Company’s clients on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis. The Company recognizes revenue as the services are performed for time-and-materials projects. For fixed-fee projects, revenue is recognized based on the ratio of hours incurred to-date compared to the total estimated hours over the entire term of the contract.

Note Five — Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has two stock-based compensation plans, the Mattersight Corporation 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the “1999 Plan”) and the Mattersight Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), each as described more fully in Note Thirteen in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Note Ten Short-Term Debt

On August 19, 2013, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Partners for Growth IV, L.P. (“PfG”) (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is subordinated to the Company’s existing $10.0 million credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank described below and, in combination therewith, increases the Company’s aggregate lines of credit to $15.0 million as of September 30, 2013. The Credit Facility provides for (a) a $3.0 million revolving line of credit maturing in 2016 (the “Tranche A Facility”) and (b) a $2.0 million convertible term loan (the “Tranche B Facility”), which, if advanced, would be funded in two tranches of $1.0 million, each evidenced by a convertible promissory note (each, a “Convertible Note”) maturing five years following the issuance thereof. The Company has not drawn on the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2013.

With respect to the Tranche A Facility, the Company paid a commitment fee upon closing the Credit Facility of $60 thousand, equal to two percent (2.0%) of the Tranche A Facility commitment, and will pay an annual commitment fee of one percent (1.0%) of the Tranche A Facility commitment in each of 2014 and 2015 and (b) with respect to the Tranche B Facility, the Company paid a commitment fee upon closing the Credit Facility of $20 thousand, equal to one percent (1.0%) of the Tranche B Facility commitment, and will pay one percent (1.0%) of the Tranche B Facility commitment upon the advance of each Convertible Note. Furthermore, the principal amount outstanding under the Credit Facility, if drawn upon, will accrue interest at a fixed annual rate equal to nine and three quarters percent (9.75%) per annum, payable monthly, which, if the Company meets certain earnings and EBITDA targets, will be reduced to eight and three quarters percent (8.75%) per annum, payable monthly.

On May 30, 2013, the Company, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries Mattersight Europe Holding Corporation and Mattersight International Holding, Inc., as co-borrowers, entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”). The Amended and Restated Credit Facility (i) extends the maturity date of the $10.0 million revolving line to 2015; (ii) modifies the borrowing base from one based upon the Company’s unrestricted cash to one based upon the Company’s available accounts receivable; (iii) provides for a varying interest rate based on the Company’s ratio of unrestricted cash to debt; and (iv) requires the Company to maintain a tangible net worth of at least $3.0 million dollars. The terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility are otherwise substantially the same as those contained in the Loan and Security Agreement, dated June 29, 2012, by and between the Company, the subsidiary borrowers thereto, and Silicon Valley Bank. The $3.7 million principal amount outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility will accrue interest at a floating annual rate equal to three quarters of one percentage point (0.75%) above the United States prime rate, payable monthly. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum of the average unused portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears.

Note Thirteen — Stock Warrants

The Company granted to PfG, certain affiliates of PfG, and Silicon Valley Bank warrants (the “PfG Warrants”) to purchase up to $600 thousand of Common Stock. The PfG Warrants were issued in connection with the execution of the Credit Facility, and the Company received the sum of approximately $4 thousand, which the parties agreed was fair consideration for the PfG Warrants, in connection with such issuance.

The holders of the PfG Warrants (or their permitted successors and assigns), are entitled to exercise or exchange the PfG Warrants at any time through August 19, 2018, for the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as up to $600 thousand would purchase at the exercise price (described below), upon the terms and subject to the provisions of the PfG Warrants. The exercise price of the PfG Warrants is equal to the lesser of (a) $2.79 and (b) the 10-Day VWAP as of the date that is 6 months following the issue date thereof.

The Company also granted warrants (the “Conditional Warrants”) to PfG to purchase up to $2.0 million of Common Stock, which may be exercised, at the same exercise price as is specified for the Convertible Notes, only if both (i) the Tranche B Facility is advanced and (ii) the Company prepays the Tranche B Facility, in whole or in part, prior to the maturity date thereof. The Conditional Warrants may be exercised only in an amount equal to the principal amount of such prepayment. As of September 30, 2013, the Tranche B Facility had not been advanced.

The PfG Warrants and the Conditional Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the PfG Warrants and the Conditional Warrants, have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities law and were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Neither the PfG Warrants and the Conditional Warrants, nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the PfG Warrants and the Conditional Warrants, may be subsequently offered or sold within the United States absent registration or exemption from such registration requirements and compliance with applicable state laws.

Note Fifteen Fair Value Measurements

The Company reports certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is an exit price and establishes a three-tier valuation hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The first tier, Level 1, uses quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 uses inputs, other than quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets, which are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 uses unobservable inputs in which there are little or no market data, and requires the entity to develop its own assumptions. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Note Seventeen — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Carryforward Exists. ASU 2013-11 provides guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. An unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward with certain exceptions, in which case such an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability. The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note Eighteen — Litigation and Other Contingencies

The Company is a party to various agreements, including all client contracts, under which it may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, indemnification against third-party claims of infringement of intellectual property rights with respect to software and other deliverables provided by the Company in the course of providing services to its clients. These obligations may be subject to various limitations on the remedies available to the other party, including, without limitation, limits on the amounts recoverable and the time during which claims may be made, and may be supported by indemnities given to the Company by applicable third parties. Payment by the Company under these indemnification clauses is generally subject to the other party making a claim that is subject to challenge by the Company and dispute resolution procedures specified in the particular agreement. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to pay any claim for indemnification under its agreements, and management is not aware of future indemnification payments that it would be obligated to make.

Table of Contents

Under its By-Laws, subject to certain exceptions, the Company has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at its request in such capacity or in certain related capacities. The Company has separate indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers that requires it, subject to certain exceptions, to indemnify them to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by its By-Laws and the Delaware General Corporation Law. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer liability insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of its insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. The Company had no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of September 30, 2013.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Background

Mattersight Corporation (together with its subsidiaries and predecessors, “Mattersight,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) is a leader in enterprise analytics focused on customer and employee interactions and behaviors. Mattersight’s Behavioral Analytics Service captures and analyzes customer and employee interactions, employee desktop data, and other contextual information to optimally route customers to the best available employee, improve operational performance, and predict future customer and employee outcomes. Mattersight’s analytics are based on millions of proprietary algorithms and the application of unique behavioral models. The Company’s SaaS+ delivery model combines analytics in the cloud with deep customer partnerships to drive significant business value. Mattersight’s solutions are used by leading companies in the healthcare, insurance, financial services, telecommunications, cable, utilities, education, hospitality, and government industries.

Through the performance of Behavioral Analytics, the Company generates two types of revenue:

 

  (1) Managed services revenue, which is recurring, annuity revenue from long-term (generally three- to five-year) contracts and pilots, which are shorter-term (generally three to twelve months), and includes subscription and amortized deployment revenue; and

 

  (2) Consulting services revenue, which is generally project-based and sold on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis and includes follow-on consulting services revenue.

Set forth below is a more detailed description of the capabilities that the Company currently offers.

Behavioral Analytics

The Company’s multi-channel technology captures the unstructured data of voice interactions (conversations), related customer and employee data, and employee desktop activity, and applies millions of proprietary algorithms against those interactions. Each interaction contains hundreds of attributes that get scored and ultimately detect patterns of behavior or business process that provide the transparency and predictability necessary to enhance revenue, improve the customer experience, improve efficiency, and predict and navigate outcomes. Adaptive across industries, programs, and industry-specific processes, the Company’s Behavioral Analytics offerings enable its clients to drive measurable economic benefit through the improvement of contact center performance, customer satisfaction and retention, fraud reduction, and streamlined back office operations. Specifically, through its Behavioral Analytics offerings, Mattersight helps its clients:

 

    Automatically measure customer satisfaction and agent performance on every analyzed call;

 

    Identify and understand customer personality;

 

    Identify optimal customer/employee behavioral pairing for call routing;

 

    Improve rapport between agent and customer;

 

    Reduce call handle times while improving customer satisfaction;

 

    Identify opportunities to improve self-service applications;

 

    Improve cross-sell and up-sell success rates;

 

    Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of collection efforts;

 

    Measure and improve supervisor effectiveness and coaching;

    Improve agent effectiveness by analyzing key attributes of desktop usage;

 

    Predict likelihood of customer attrition;

 

    Predict customer satisfaction and Net Promoter Scores® without customer surveys;

 

    Predict likelihood of debt repayment;

 

    Predict likelihood of a sale or cross-sell; and

 

    Identify fraud callers and improve authentication processes.

The Company has designed a highly-scalable, flexible, and adaptive application platform to enable the Company to implement and operate its Behavioral Analytics offerings for its clients. These offerings are primarily delivered through a SaaS+ model, as a managed subscription service from which Mattersight derives Managed services revenue and Consulting services revenue. Managed services revenue consists of revenue from deployment and subscription services and Consulting services revenue consists of revenue from post-deployment follow-on services, including coaching, training, and custom data analysis.

In addition to our Behavioral Analytics offerings, Mattersight also generates revenue from the following services:

(1) Marketing Managed Services, which consist of marketing application hosting services, from which the Company derives Managed services revenue; and

(2) CRM Services, which consist of operational consulting services that enhance business performance through improved process efficiencies and redesign of workflows, from which the Company derives Consulting services revenue.

Types of Revenue

Managed Services Revenue

Growth in Managed services revenue is primarily driven by the execution of new Behavioral Analytics contracts, under which we deploy and provide ongoing managed services related to our proprietary Behavioral Analytics System and provide related Business Monitoring services. Based on each client’s business requirements, the Behavioral Analytics System is configured and integrated into the client’s environment and then deployed in either a remote-hosted or, in one case, an on-premise hosted environment. Thereafter, the client’s selection of our Behavioral Analytics offerings is provided, on a subscription basis, for a period that is generally three to five years after the go-live date or, in the cases where the Company contracts with a client for a short-term pilot of the Behavioral Analytics Service prior to committing to a longer subscription period, if any, the subscription or pilot periods generally range from three to twelve months after the go-live date. The fees and costs related to the initial deployment are deferred and amortized over the term of the contract.

We also generate Managed services revenue from Marketing Managed Services, specifically, from hosted customer and campaign data management. This source of Managed services revenue will continue to diminish over time as we focus on growth through Behavioral Analytics.

Consulting Services Revenue

In addition to the Consulting services revenue generated by our Behavioral Analytics contracts, we derive a portion of this type of revenue from CRM Services for long-standing accounts. We expect Consulting services revenue from CRM Services to continue to diminish over time as demand for these services continues to decline and we focus on growth through Behavioral Analytics. We bill for Consulting services on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis.

Business Outlook

Based upon Mattersight’s business development efforts and third-party market research, we believe there has been a fundamental shift in the way large enterprises view data. The trends suggest that large enterprises today appreciate that there is value in data that can be derived from their front and back offices, but they have not yet established efficient and effective methods to capture, analyze, and create value from this data. We seek to help large enterprises capitalize on this data with our Behavioral Analytics solutions and, as a leader in this rapidly growing market, we believe we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on this opportunity. We believe the market potential in the U.S. for enterprise analytics, including our current offerings, is significant and we estimate it to be less than 5% penetrated.

 

17


Table of Contents

Our business strategy to increase revenue, profitability, and capture market share includes the following elements:

 

    Win business with new clients, focusing on predictive behavioral routing;

 

    Develop partnerships and strategic alliances to expand sales leverage, improve brand awareness, and reach new industries while providing value to our mutual clients;

 

    Increase up-sell and cross-sell ratios by deepening and broadening our relationships with existing clients;

 

    Continue to invest in innovative proprietary technology, new applications, and delivery methods;

 

    Continue bookings growth and improve operating leverage; and

 

    Expand our sales and marketing efforts with seasoned enterprise sales agents and strategic marketing professionals.

Resulting from our delivery of measurable economic benefit to our clients, we have seen increased penetration within existing accounts, due to an increase in adoption of our base Behavioral Analytics offerings across separate and distinct business units, as well as the adoption of new applications within existing business units. For this reason, we will continue to focus on further penetrating what we estimate to be a large existing base market with a less expensive cost of acquisition. In addition, our strategy to further invest in sales and marketing, coinciding with the fundamental shift in enterprise data utilization described above, has led to an increasing number of discussions with potential new clients and strategic partners.

Managed Services Backlog

The Behavioral Analytics Managed services backlog was $81.1 million as of September 30, 2013 and $89.1 million as of December 31, 2012. This decrease in backlog is due to the value of Behavioral Analytics revenue in the first nine months of 2013 combined with an adjustment for the impact of the termination of a portion of an existing contract exceeding the amount of Behavioral Analytics contracts signed in the first nine months of 2013.

Mattersight uses the term “backlog” to reflect the estimated future amount of Managed services revenue related to its Managed services contracts. The value of these contracts is based on anticipated usage volumes over the anticipated contract term. The anticipated contract term is based on the fixed term of the contract, plus contractually agreed upon, but optional, extension or renewal periods. Actual volumes may be greater or less than anticipated. In addition, these contracts typically are cancellable without cause based on the customer making a substantial early termination payment or forfeiture of prepaid contract amounts.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the costs and timing of completion of client projects, our ability to collect accounts receivable, the timing and amounts of expected payments associated with cost reduction activities, and the ability to realize our net deferred tax assets, contingencies, and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Behavioral Analytics Revenue

Behavioral Analytics revenue consists of Managed services revenue and Consulting services revenue derived from the performance of Behavioral Analytics.

 

18


Table of Contents

Managed services revenue consists of planning, deployment, training, and subscription fees derived from Behavioral Analytics contracts. Planning, deployment, and training fees, which are considered to be installation fees related to Behavioral Analytics subscription contracts, are deferred until the installation is complete and are then recognized over the subscription period of the applicable subscription contract. The subscription periods of these contracts generally range from three to five years after the go-live date or, in cases where the Company contracts with a client for a short-term pilot of Behavioral Analytics prior to committing to a longer subscription period, if any, the subscription or pilot periods generally range from three to twelve months after the go-live date. Installation costs incurred are deferred up to an amount not to exceed the amount of deferred installation revenue and additional amounts that are recoverable based on the contractual arrangement. These costs are included in Prepaid expenses and Other long-term assets. Such costs are amortized over the subscription period of the contract. Costs in excess of the foregoing revenue amount are expensed in the period incurred.

The amount of revenue generated from subscription fees is based on a number of factors, such as the number of users to whom the Behavioral Analytics Service is provided, the type and number of Behavioral Analytics offerings deployed to the client, and in some cases, the number of hours of calls analyzed during the relevant month of the subscription period. This revenue is recognized as the service is performed for the client.

Consulting services revenue primarily consists of fees charged to the Company’s clients to provide post-deployment follow-on consulting services, which include custom data analysis, the implementation of enhancements, and training. These follow-on consulting services are generally performed for the Company’s clients on a fixed-fee basis. Revenue is recognized as the services are performed, with performance generally assessed on the ratio of actual hours incurred to-date compared to the total estimated hours over the entire term of the contract.

Other Revenue

Other revenue consists of Marketing Managed Services revenue and CRM Services revenue.

Marketing Managed Services revenue is derived from marketing application hosting. This revenue is generally in the form of fixed monthly fees received from the Company’s clients and is recognized as the services are performed for the client. Any related setup fee would be recognized over the term of the hosting contract.

CRM Services revenue consists of fees generated from the Company’s operational consulting services, which are provided to the Company’s clients on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee basis. The Company recognizes revenue as the services are performed for time-and-materials projects. For fixed-fee projects, revenue is recognized based on the ratio of hours incurred to-date compared to the total estimated hours over the entire term of the contract.

Reimbursed Expenses

Reimbursed expenses revenue includes billable costs related to travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred while performing services for the Company’s clients. The cost of third-party product and support may be included within this category if the transaction does not satisfy the requirements for gross reporting. An equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses is included in Cost of revenue.

Unearned Revenue

Payments received for Managed services contracts in excess of the amount of revenue recognized for these contracts are recorded as unearned revenue until revenue recognition criteria are met.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from clients not paying for unpaid or disputed invoices for contractual services provided. Additional allowances may be required if the financial condition of our clients deteriorates.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Determining fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires certain assumptions. The Company uses historical information as the basis for the selection of expected life, expected volatility, expected dividend yield assumptions, and anticipated forfeiture rates. The risk-free interest rate is selected based on the yields from U.S. Treasury Strips with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the options being valued.

Severance and Related Costs

Severance and related costs includes cost-reduction actions, principally consisting of personnel reductions and an office consolidation. The portion of the accruals that related to employee severance represents contractual severance for identified employees and generally is not subject to a significant revision. The portion of the accruals that related to office space reductions, office closures, and associated contractual lease obligations are based in part on assumptions and estimates of the timing and amount of sublease rentals, which may be affected by overall economic and local market conditions. To the extent estimates of the success of our sublease efforts changed, adjustments increasing or decreasing the related accruals have been recognized.

Table of Contents

Income Taxes

We have recorded income tax valuation allowances on our net deferred tax assets to account for the unpredictability surrounding the timing of realization of our U.S. and non-U.S. net deferred tax assets due to uncertain economic conditions. The valuation allowances may be reversed at a point in time when management determines realization of these tax assets has become more likely than not, based on a return to predictable levels of profitability.

The Company uses an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided when tax laws and financial accounting standards differ with respect to the amount of income for the year, the basis of assets and liabilities and for tax loss carryforwards. The Company does not provide U.S. deferred income taxes on earnings of U.S. or foreign subsidiaries, which are expected to be indefinitely reinvested.

The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Significant judgment is used to determine the likelihood of the benefit. There is additional guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure requirements.

Intraperiod tax allocation requires that the provision for income taxes be allocated between continuing operations and other categories of earnings (such as discontinued operations or other comprehensive loss) for each tax jurisdiction. In periods in which there is a year-to-date pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in other categories of earnings, the tax provision is first allocated to the other categories of earnings. A related tax benefit is then recorded in continuing operations. While intraperiod tax allocation in general does not change the overall tax provision, it does affect the amount of tax provision included in each category. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the intraperiod allocation was not applicable because we no longer have any discontinued operations activity. For the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2012, the intraperiod allocation was not applicable because we had a pretax loss in both continuing and discontinued operations.

Other Significant Accounting Policies

Third Quarter of 2013 Compared with Third Quarter of 2012

Services revenue is total revenue excluding reimbursable expenses that are billed to our clients. Our services revenue increased $0.6 million, or 8%, to $8.6 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $8.0 million in the third quarter of 2012. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the payment by a customer of an early termination fee in the third quarter of 2013, in connection with the cancellation of a contract.

Behavioral Analytics revenue increased $0.6 million, or 8%, to $8.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2012. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the payment by a customer of an early termination fee in the third quarter of 2013, in connection with the cancellation of a contract.

Other revenue remained constant at $0.3 million in the third quarter of both 2013 and 2012.

The Company’s top five clients accounted for 68% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2013 and 65% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2012. The top 10 clients accounted for 91% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2013 and 89% of total revenue in the third quarter of 2012. In the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, there were four and three clients, respectively, that each accounted for 10% or more of total revenue. In the third quarter of 2013, Vangent, Inc., Progressive Casualty Insurance Company, Allstate Insurance Company, and United HealthCare Services, Inc., accounted for 20%, 16%, 13%, and 11% of total revenue, respectively. In the third quarter of 2012, Vangent, Inc., Allstate Insurance Company, and Progressive Casualty Insurance Company accounted for 20%, 14%, and 13% of total revenue, respectively. Higher concentration of revenue with a single client or a limited group of clients creates increased revenue risk if one of these clients significantly reduces its demand for our services.

Cost of Revenue Before Reimbursed Expenses, Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization

Cost of Services

Cost of services primarily consists of labor costs, including salaries, fringe benefits, and incentive compensation, royalties, and other client-related third-party outside services. Cost of services excludes depreciation and amortization.

Cost of Behavioral Analytics revenue was $2.7 million, or 33% of Behavioral Analytics revenue in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $2.8 million, or 37% of Behavioral Analytics revenue, in the third quarter of 2012. The favorable decrease in cost and percentage was primarily due to improved productivity in our delivery organization resulting in lower compensation costs and better leverage of our cost structure supporting our subscription clients.

Cost of other revenue was $0.2 million, or 54% of Other revenue in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $0.2 million, or 50% of Other revenue, in the third quarter of 2012.

Sales, Marketing and Development

Sales, marketing and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, incentive compensation, commissions, and employee benefits for business development, account management, marketing, and product development personnel. The personnel costs included in this item are net of any labor costs directly related to the generation of revenue, which are represented in Cost of Services.

Sales, marketing and development expenses decreased $1.0 million, or 18%, to $4.9 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2012. This decrease is primarily related to lower headcount versus the prior period.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, incentive compensation, and employee benefits for administrative personnel, as well as facilities costs, a provision for uncollectible amounts, and costs for our corporate technology infrastructure and applications.

Table of Contents

General and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million, or 15%, to $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2012. This increase is due to slightly higher compensation expense and increased legal expense.

Severance and Related Costs

Severance and related costs includes cost-reduction actions, principally consisting of personnel reductions and an office consolidation. The cost-reduction actions taken during fiscal year 2012 resulted in annual cash savings of $0.3 million. Costs related to office space reductions and office closures were paid pursuant to contractual lease terms through January 2012.

In the third quarter of 2013, there was $0.2 million of expense which was related to severance and related costs for the elimination of one position. There were no severance and related costs in the third quarter of 2012.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization remained constant at $0.9 million in the third quarter of both 2013 and 2012.

Operating Loss

Primarily as a result of the factors described above, we experienced an operating loss of $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to an operating loss of $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2012.

Interest and Other Expense, Net

Non-operating interest and other expense was $0.1 million for both the third quarters of 2013 and 2012. In the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, the expense was primarily related to interest expense on our short-term debt and capital lease obligation.

Income Tax (Provision) Benefit

The income tax provision was less than $0.1 million in the third quarters of 2013 and 2012. As of September 30, 2013, total net deferred tax assets of $67.2 million were fully offset by a valuation allowance. The level of uncertainty in predicting when we will achieve profitability, sufficient to utilize our net U.S. and non-U.S. operating losses and realize our remaining deferred tax assets, requires that an income tax valuation allowance be recognized in the financial statements.

Income from Discontinued Operations

There was no income from discontinued operations in the third quarter of 2013. The income from discontinued operations was $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2012 due to a favorable IRS ruling on a previously accrued income tax liability.

Net Loss Available to Common Stockholders

We reported net loss available to holders of our Common Stock of $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to net loss available to holders of our Common Stock of $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2012. Accrued dividends to holders of our Series B Stock were $0.1 million in the third quarters of 2013 and 2012. In the third quarter of 2013, there was net loss of $0.17 per share on a basic and diluted basis, compared to net loss of $0.23 per share on a basic and diluted basis in the third quarter of 2012.

First Nine Months of 2013 Compared with First Nine Months of 2012

Services revenue is total revenue excluding reimbursable expenses that are billed to our clients. Our services revenue increased $0.2 million, or 1%, to $25.0 million in the first nine months of 2013, from $24.8 million in the first nine months of 2012.

Behavioral Analytics revenue was $24.1 million in the first nine months of 2013 and was $23.8 million in the first nine months of 2012. The $0.3 million, or 1%, increase in Behavioral Analytics revenue in the first nine months of 2013 was primarily due to revenue associated with new client agreements, expansion at several existing clients and the payment by a customer of an early termination fee in connection with the cancellation of a contract.

 

22


Table of Contents

Other revenue remained constant at $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012.

The Company’s top five clients accounted for 68% of total revenue in the first nine months of 2013 and 67% of total revenue in the first nine months of 2012. The top 10 clients accounted for 90% of total revenue in the first nine months of 2013 and 89% of total revenue in the first nine months of 2012. In the first nine months of 2013, there were four clients that accounted for 10% or more of total revenue, whereas three clients accounted for 10% or more of total revenue in the first nine months of 2012. In the first nine months of 2013, Vangent, Inc., Progressive Casualty Insurance Company, Allstate Insurance Company, and United HealthCare Services, Inc., accounted for 19%, 15%, 14%, and 11% of total revenue, respectively. In the first nine months of 2012, Vangent, Inc., Allstate Insurance Company, and Progressive Casualty Insurance Company accounted for 19%, 16%, and 13% of total revenue, respectively. Higher concentration of revenue with a single client or a limited group of clients creates increased revenue risk if one of these clients significantly reduces its demand for our services.

Cost of Revenue Before Reimbursed Expenses, Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization

Cost of Services

Cost of services primarily consists of labor costs, including salaries, fringe benefits, and incentive compensation, royalties, and other client-related third-party outside services. Cost of services excludes depreciation and amortization.

Cost of Behavioral Analytics revenue was $8.0 million, or 33% of Behavioral Analytics revenue in the first nine months of 2013, compared to $9.0 million, or 38% of Behavioral Analytics revenue, in the first nine months of 2012. The favorable decrease in cost and percentage was primarily due to improved productivity in our Delivery organization resulting in lower compensation costs and better leverage of our cost structure supporting our subscription clients.

Cost of other revenue was $0.5 million, or 53% of Other revenue in both the first nine months of 2013 and 2012.

Sales, Marketing and Development

Sales, marketing and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, incentive compensation, commissions, and employee benefits for business development, account management, marketing, and product development personnel. The personnel costs included in this item are net of any labor costs directly related to the generation of revenue, which are represented in Cost of services.

Sales, marketing and development expenses decreased $0.1 million, to $16.5 million in the first nine months of 2013 from $16.6 million in the first nine months of 2012. This decrease is primarily due to lower compensation expense.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, incentive compensation, and employee benefits for administrative personnel, as well as facilities costs, a provision for uncollectible amounts, and costs for our corporate technology infrastructure and applications.

General and administrative expenses increased $0.7 million, or 12%, to $6.6 million in the first nine months of 2013 from $5.9 million in the first nine months of 2012. This increase is primarily due to higher compensation expense.

Severance and Related Costs

Severance and related costs includes cost-reduction actions, principally consisting of personnel reductions and an office consolidation. The cost-reduction actions taken during fiscal year 2012 resulted in annual cash savings of $0.3 million. Costs related to office space reductions and office closures were paid pursuant to contractual lease terms through January 2012.

In the first nine months of 2013, there was $0.2 million of expense which was related to severance and related costs for the elimination of one position. In the first nine months of 2012, the $0.7 million of expense was related to severance and related costs for the elimination of one position.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $0.2 million, to $2.8 million in the first nine months of 2013 compared to $2.6 million in the first nine months of 2012. The increase of $0.2 million in depreciation and amortization is primarily related to an increased rate of investment for the first nine months of 2013.

Operating Loss

Primarily as a result of the factors described above, we experienced an operating loss of $9.5 million for the first nine months of 2013, compared to an operating loss of $10.4 million for the first nine months of 2012.

Interest and Other Expense, Net

Non-operating interest and other expense was $0.3 million of expense in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012. In the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, the $0.3 million of expense was primarily related to interest expense on our short-term debt and capital lease obligation.

Income Tax Benefit (Provision)

The income tax benefit was $0.2 million in the first nine months of 2013 and the tax provision was less than $0.1 million in the first nine months of 2012. The income tax benefit in the first nine months of 2013 was due to a favorable tax ruling on a previously accrued income tax liability. As of September 30, 2013, total net deferred tax assets of $67.2 million were fully offset by a valuation allowance. The level of uncertainty in predicting when we will achieve profitability, sufficient to utilize our net U.S. and non-U.S. operating losses and realize our remaining deferred tax assets, requires that an income tax valuation allowance be recognized in the financial statements.

Income from Discontinued Operations

There was no income from discontinued operations in the first nine months of 2013. The income from discontinued operations in the first nine months of 2012 was $0.2 million due to a favorable IRS ruling on a previously accrued income tax liability partially offset by settlement costs relating to a former employee of the ICS Business Unit.

Net Loss Available to Common Stockholders

We reported net loss available to holders of Common Stock of $10.1 million in the first nine months of 2013 compared to net loss available to holders of Common Stock of $11.0 million in the first nine months of 2012. Accrued dividends to holders of our Series B Stock were $0.4 million in both the first nine months of 2013 and 2012. In the first nine months of 2013, there was net loss of $0.61 per share on a basic and diluted basis, compared to net loss of $0.69 per share on a basic and diluted basis in the first nine months of 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Introduction

Our principal capital requirements are to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures for Behavioral Analytics and infrastructure requirements, and other revenue generation and growth investments. As of September 30, 2013, our principal capital resources consisted of our cash and cash equivalents balance of $13.7 million, which includes $0.2 million in foreign bank accounts.

The decrease in cash during the first nine months of 2013 was primarily the result of the net loss before non-cash items, capital lease principal payments, capital expenditures, and the acquisition of treasury stock, partially offset by a $4.1 million increase in unearned revenue. Prior to June 30, 2012, restricted cash was primarily used as collateral for letters of credit issued in support of future capital lease obligations. See “Credit Facility” description below.

The decrease in cash during the first nine months of 2012 was primarily the result of the net loss before non-cash items, a decrease in unearned revenue reflecting the recognition of previously deferred revenue, capital expenditures, cash dividend payments on Series B Stock, acquisition of treasury stock, and capital lease principal payments, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable.

Table of Contents

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations during the first nine months of 2013 was $3.1 million and cash used in operating activities of continuing operations during the first nine months of 2012 was $11.6 million. During the first nine months of 2013, net cash provided by operating activities consisted primarily of a $4.1 million increase in unearned revenue, partially offset by the net loss before non-cash items of $1.9 million.

During the first nine months of 2012, cash outflows of $11.6 million from operating activities consisted primarily of the net loss before non-cash items of $5.0 million and a $6.0 million decrease in unearned revenue reflecting the recognition of previously deferred revenue, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $0.6 million.

There was no net cash used in operating activities of discontinued operations during the first nine months of 2013. Net cash used in operating activities of discontinued operations during the first nine months of 2012 was $0.2 million.

Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”) was 23 days at September 30, 2013, compared to 26 days at December 31, 2012, an improvement of three days. Because a high percentage of our revenue is dependent on a relatively small number of clients, delayed payments by a few of our larger clients could result in a reduction of our available cash, which in turn may cause fluctuation in our DSO. We do not expect any significant collection issues with our clients; see “Accounts Receivable Customer Concentration” for additional information on cash collections.

As of September 30, 2013, there were no outstanding liabilities for severance and related costs.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The Company used $1.2 million of cash in continuing investing activities during the first nine months of 2013 compared to $1.8 million of cash in continuing investing activities during the first nine months of 2012.

Capital expenditures were primarily used to purchase computer hardware and software during the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. We currently expect to incur new capital investments of between $4.0 million and $5.0 million for fiscal year 2013 and plan on funding approximately $3.0 million to $3.8 million of these purchases with capital leases.

There was no net cash used in discontinued investing activities during the first nine months of 2013 and 2012.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in continuing financing activities was $2.6 million during the first nine months of 2013 compared to $1.4 million during the first nine months of 2012.

The $2.6 million of net cash used during the first nine months of 2013 was primarily attributable to: (i) $1.7 million of principal payments under our capital lease obligations and (ii) $0.9 million of cash used to acquire treasury stock.

Net cash outflows of $1.4 million during the first nine months of 2012 were primarily attributable to: $3.7 million to purchase shares of Series B Stock, $1.7 million of principal payments under our capital lease obligations; $0.9 million of cash used to acquire treasury stock; and $0.6 million for cash dividend payments on Series B Stock partially offset by proceeds from our revolving line of credit agreement of $3.7 million and a decrease in restricted cash of $1.5 million.

There was no net cash used in discontinued financing activities during the first nine months of 2013 and 2012.

Historically, we have not paid cash dividends on our Common Stock, and we do not expect to do so in the future. The Board of Directors did not declare a dividend payment on Series B Stock, which was accrued, for the dividend periods July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2013 (the aggregate amount of these dividends was approximately $0.6 million). A cash dividend on the Series B Stock of $0.3 million was paid on January 3, 2012, for the dividend period July 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 and a cash dividend of $0.3 million was paid on July 2, 2012, for the period January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012. Under the terms of the Certificate of Designations for the Series B Stock, unpaid dividends are cumulative and accrue at the rate of 7% per annum, payable semi-annually in January and July. The amount of each dividend accrual will be decreased by any conversions of the Series B Stock into Common Stock, as such conversions require the Company to pay accrued but unpaid dividends at the time of conversion. Conversions of Series B Stock became permissible at the option of the holder after June 19, 2002.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to a tender offer commenced in the first quarter of 2012, Mattersight purchased 19,758 shares of Series B Stock, at a price of $8.71 per share (representing $8.60 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends), for an aggregate cost of approximately $172,092, excluding fees and expenses related to the tender offer. These shares represented approximately 1.2% of the Series B Stock outstanding as of April 13, 2012.

The Company expects to acquire between $0.1 million and $0.2 million of treasury stock during the fourth quarter of 2013 to meet employee tax obligations associated with the Company’s stock-based compensation programs.

Liquidity

Our near-term capital resources consist of our current cash balance, together with anticipated future cash flows, financing from capital leases, and our revolving line of credit (See “Credit Facility” below). Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was $13.7 million as of September 30, 2013.

We anticipate that our current unrestricted cash resources, together with operating revenue and capital lease financing, should be sufficient to satisfy our short-term working capital and capital expenditure needs for the next twelve months. Management will continue to assess opportunities to maximize cash resources by actively managing our cost structure and closely monitoring the collection of our accounts receivable. If, however, our operating activities, capital expenditure requirements, or net cash needs differ materially from current expectations due to uncertainties surrounding the current capital market, credit and general economic conditions, competition, or the termination of a large client contract, then there is no assurance that we would have access to additional external capital resources on acceptable terms.

Partners for Growth Credit Facility

On August 19, 2013, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Partners for Growth IV, L.P. (“PfG”) (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is subordinated to the Company’s existing $10.0 million credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank described below and, in combination therewith, increases the Company’s aggregate lines of credit to $15.0 million as of September 30, 2013. The Credit Facility provides for (a) a $3.0 million revolving line of credit maturing in 2016 (the “Tranche A Facility”) and (b) a $2 million convertible term loan (the “Tranche B Facility”), which, if advanced, would be funded in two tranches of $1.0 million, each evidenced by a convertible promissory note (each, a “Convertible Note”) maturing five years following the issuance thereof. Each Convertible Note would convert, at the option of the holder, into Common Stock at an exercise price of at least the 10-day volume weighted average per share of Common Stock (“10-Day VWAP”) as of the date on which such Note is issued. If issued, the Convertible Notes, and the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Convertible Notes, will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities law and will be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Neither the Convertible Notes, nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Convertible Notes, may be subsequently offered or sold within the United States absent registration or exemption from such registration requirements and compliance with applicable state laws. The Company has not drawn on the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2013.

With respect to the Tranche A Facility, the Company paid a commitment fee upon closing the Credit Facility of $60 thousand, equal to two percent (2.0%) of the Tranche A Facility commitment, and will pay an annual commitment fee of one percent (1.0%) of the Tranche A Facility commitment in each of 2014 and 2015 and (b) with respect to the Tranche B Facility, the Company paid a commitment fee upon closing the Credit Facility of $20 thousand, equal to one percent (1.0%) of the Tranche B Facility commitment, and will pay one percent (1.0%) of the Tranche B Facility commitment upon the advance of each Convertible Note. Furthermore, the principal amount outstanding under the Credit Facility, if drawn upon, will accrue interest at a fixed annual rate equal to nine and three quarters percent (9.75%) per annum, payable monthly, which, if the Company meets certain earnings and EBITDA targets, will be reduced to eight and three quarters percent (8.75%) per annum, payable monthly.

The Credit Facility imposes usual and customary events of defaults and restrictions on actions of the Company and its subsidiaries, and provides that, upon the occurrence of an event of default, payment of all amounts payable under the Credit Facility may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments may be terminated. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy related events of default, all amounts payable under the Credit Facility will automatically become immediately due and payable, and the lenders’ commitments will automatically terminate.

Table of Contents

In connection with the execution of the Credit Facility, the Company granted warrants (the “PfG Warrants”) to purchase up to $600 thousand of Common Stock to certain affiliates of PfG and to Silicon Valley Bank. The PfG Warrants may be exercised at any time through the expiration thereof in 2018, at an exercise price equal to the lesser of (a) the 10-Day VWAP as of the issue date of the PfG Warrants and (b) the 10-Day VWAP as of the date that is 6 months following the issue date thereof. The Company also granted warrants (the “Conditional Warrants”) to purchase up to $2.0 million of Common Stock to PfG, which may be exercised, at the same exercise price as is specified for the Convertible Notes, only if both (a) the Tranche B Facility is advanced and (b) the Company prepays the Tranche B Facility, in whole or in part, prior to the maturity date thereof. The Conditional Warrants may be exercised only in an amount equal to the principal amount of such prepayment. The PfG Warrants and the Conditional Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the PfG Warrants and the Conditional Warrants, have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities law and were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Neither the PfG Warrants and the Conditional Warrants, nor the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the PfG Warrants and the Conditional Warrants, may be subsequently offered or sold within the United States absent registration or exemption from such registration requirements and compliance with applicable state laws.

Silicon Valley Bank Credit Facility

On May 30, 2013, the Company, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries Mattersight Europe Holding Corporation and Mattersight International Holding, Inc., as co-borrowers, entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”). The Amended and Restated Credit Facility (i) extends the maturity date of the $10.0 million revolving line to 2015; (ii) modifies the borrowing base from one based upon the Company’s unrestricted cash to one based upon the Company’s available accounts receivable; (iii) provides for a varying interest rate based on the Company’s ratio of unrestricted cash to debt; and (iv) requires the Company to maintain a tangible net worth of at least $3 million. The terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility are otherwise substantially the same as those contained in the Loan and Security Agreement, dated June 29, 2012, by and between the Company, the subsidiary borrowers thereto, and Silicon Valley Bank.

The $3.7 million principal amount outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility at September 30, 2013, will accrue interest at a floating annual rate equal to three quarters of one percentage point (0.75%) above the United States prime rate, currently accruing at a four percent (4%), payable monthly. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay a fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum of the average unused portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, payable quarterly in arrears.

The Amended and Restated Credit Facility imposes various restrictions on the Company, including usual and customary limitations on the ability of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to incur debt and to grant liens upon their assets, and prohibits certain consolidations, mergers, and sales and transfers of assets by the Company and its subsidiaries. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility includes usual and customary events of default for facilities of this nature (with customary grace periods, as applicable) and provides that, upon the occurrence of an event of default, payment of all amounts payable under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments may be terminated. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy related events of default, all amounts payable under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility will automatically become immediately due and payable, and the lenders’ commitments will automatically terminate.

See Note Ten “Short-Term Debt” of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further discussion.

Accounts Receivable Customer Concentration

As of September 30, 2013, four clients, United HealthCare Services, Inc., CVS Pharmacy, Inc., Direct Energy, LP, and Allstate Insurance Company, accounted for 19%, 14%, 14%, and 12% of total gross accounts receivable, respectively. Of these amounts, we have collected 39% from United HealthCare Services, Inc., 47% from CVS Pharmacy, Inc., 0% from Direct Energy, LP, and 73% from Allstate Insurance Company, through November 5, 2013. Of the total September 30, 2013 gross accounts receivable, we have collected 38% as of November 5, 2013. Because we have a high percentage of our revenue dependent on a relatively small number of clients, delayed payments by a few of our larger clients could result in a reduction of our available cash.

Capital Lease Obligations

Capital lease obligations as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $3.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively. We are a party to a capital lease agreement with a leasing company to lease hardware and software. We expect to incur new capital lease obligations of between $3.0 million to $3.8 million for fiscal year 2013 as we continue to expand our investment in the infrastructure for Behavioral Analytics and predictive behavioral routing.

Contractual Obligations

Cash will also be required for operating leases and non-cancellable purchase obligations, as well as various commitments reflected as liabilities on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2013. These commitments are as follows:

Letters of Credit

The amounts set forth in the chart above reflect standby letters of credit issued as collateral for capital leases. Specifically, these amounts reflect the face amount of these letters of credit that expire in each period presented.

Leases

The amounts set forth in the chart above reflect future principal, interest, and executory costs of the leases entered into by the Company for technology and office equipment, as well as office and data center space. Liabilities for the principal portion of the capital lease obligations are reflected on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Purchase Obligations

Purchase obligations include $0.9 million of commitments reflected as liabilities on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2013, as well as $0.6 million of non-cancellable obligations to purchase goods or services in the future. As of December 31, 2012, purchase obligations include $0.9 million of commitments reflected as liabilities on our balance sheet, as well as $0.9 million of non-cancellable obligations to purchase goods or services in the future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Carryforward Exists. ASU 2013-11 provides guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. An unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward with certain exceptions, in which case such an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability. The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in market risk as of September 30, 2013 from that described in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Mattersight maintains disclosure controls and procedures that have been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and such information is accumulated and communicated to Company management, including its principal executive officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, as required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

As of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter (June 30, 2013), our public float, as calculated in accordance with Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 12b-2”), was less than $50 million. As such, we became a smaller reporting company (as defined in Rule 12b-2) on such date. In addition to being a smaller reporting company, we will continue to be an accelerated filer (as defined in Rule 12b-2) through the end of the current fiscal year. At the end of the current fiscal year, we will cease to be an accelerated filer and will only be a smaller reporting company.
