\\Hudson Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “Hudson”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) is filing this Amendment (this “Amended Form 10-Q”) to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 (the “Original Form 10-Q”), originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 10, 2022.

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023, the Company is restating its previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. Subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q, management identified an error relating to the accounting treatment of a discretionary bonus payment paid by the Company on behalf of a customer. The effect of this error is an understatement of revenue and direct contracting costs and reimbursed expenses in the amount of $5.762 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. This Amended Form 10-Q amends revenue and direct contracting costs and reimbursed expenses accordingly. The error had no impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of cash flows, net income, the presentation of the non-GAAP metric EBITDA, or any other accounts for such periods. Please see Note 16 to this Amended Form 10-Q, Restatement of Previously Reported Financial Statements for additional information and a summary of the accounting impacts of these adjustments.

As a result of the error, the Company has concluded there was a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2022 and that its disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2022. See additional discussion included in Part I Item 4 and Part II Item 1A of this Amended Form 10-Q.

We are filing this Amended Form 10-Q to amend and restate the Original Form 10-Q with modification as necessary to reflect the restatement.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Hudson Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “Hudson”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) is filing this Amendment (this “Amended Form 10-Q”) to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 (the “Original Form 10-Q”), originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 10, 2022.

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023, the Company is restating its previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. Subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q, management identified an error relating to the accounting treatment of a discretionary bonus payment paid by the Company on behalf of a customer. The effect of this error is an understatement of revenue and direct contracting costs and reimbursed expenses in the amount of $5.762 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. This Amended Form 10-Q amends revenue and direct contracting costs and reimbursed expenses accordingly. The error had no impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of cash flows, net income, the presentation of non-GAAP metrics EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, or any other accounts for such periods. Please see Note 16 to this Amended Form 10-Q, Restatement of Previously Reported Financial Statements for additional information and a summary of the accounting impacts of these adjustments to revenue and direct contracting costs and reimbursed expenses.

As a result of the error, the Company has concluded there was a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2022 and that its disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2022. See additional discussion included in Part I Item 4 and Part II Item 1A of this Amended Form 10-Q.

We are filing this Amended Form 10-Q to amend and restate the Original Form 10-Q with modification as necessary to reflect the restatement. The following items have been amended to reflect the restatement:


Part I, Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations

Part I, Item 1. Note 4 - Revenue Recognition

Part I, Item 1. Note 5 - Acquisitions

Part I, Item 1. Note 14 - Segment and Geographic Data

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

Part I, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition, this Amended Form 10-Q updates the signature page. In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, the Company is also including with this Amended Form 10-Q new certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2022 from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (as principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (as principal financial officer) dated as of the filing date of this Amended Form 10-Q (included in Part II, Item 6. “Exhibits” and attached as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1, and 32.2).

This Amended Form 10-Q is presented as of the filing date of the Original Form 10-Q and does not reflect events occurring after that date, or modify or update disclosures in any way other than as required to reflect the restatements as described below. Accordingly, this Amended Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the date on which we filed the Original Form 10-Q. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original Form 10-Q have not been revised to reflect events, results or developments that occurred or facts that became known to the Company after the date of the Original Form 10-Q, other than the restatement.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of Hudson Global, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) filed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
    
    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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of operating revenues and expenses. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge and judgments. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intra-entity balances and transactions between and among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. For more information, see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


NOTE 2 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    The Company is comprised of the operations, assets, and liabilities of the Company’s three regional businesses: the Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe. The Company provides Recruitment Process Outsourcing (“RPO”) permanent recruitment and contracting outsourced recruitment solutions. These services are tailored to the individual needs of primarily mid-to-large-cap multinational companies. The Company’s RPO delivery teams utilize state-of-the-art recruitment process methodologies and project management expertise in their flexible, turnkey solutions to meet clients’ ongoing business needs. The Company’s RPO services include complete recruitment outsourcing, project-based outsourcing, contingent workforce solutions, and recruitment consulting.
On August 19, 2022, Hudson completed the acquisition of Hunt & Badge Consulting Private Limited (“HnB”), an India-headquartered provider of recruitment services to customers operating in India. HnB partners with companies of all sizes, including well-known multinationals, across a variety of industries to help meet their talent procurement needs.
On October 29, 2021, Hudson completed the acquisition of Karani, LLC (“Karani”), a Chicago-headquartered recruiting services provider that primarily serves U.S.-based customers from its operations in India and the Philippines. Karani partners with recruitment and staffing firms to assist with recruiting, sourcing, screening, onboarding, and other talent-related services across a variety of industries. This acquisition has enhanced the Company’s global delivery capability by adding a substantial presence in India and the Philippines, fostering business in new markets, and further developing the Company’s technology recruitment capabilities.
On October 1, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of Coit Staffing, Inc., which expanded its presence in the technology sector and established a Technology Group located in San Francisco. In addition to providing RPO services to clients in the tech sector, the Technology Group operates jointly with the Company’s existing teams in the Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe to provide continuous access to knowledge regarding new and emerging technologies in the RPO, Managed Solutions Provider, and Total Talent Solutions spaces, enabling the Company to better serve its clients around the world.
    The Company operates directly in fourteen countries with three reportable geographic business segments: Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe. See Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the reportable segments.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, referred to as COVID-19, was reported. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak to be a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. Despite

the decline in infection rates, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a lasting impact on various aspects of our business including but not limited to workforce shortages.

Some countries around the world have imposed quarantines and restrictions on travel and mass gatherings to slow the spread of the virus. COVID-19 continues to have an impact around the world and presents risks to the Company, which the Company is unable to fully evaluate or foresee at the current time. However, the Company is vigilantly monitoring the business environment surrounding COVID-19 and continues to proactively address this situation as it evolves. The Company believes it can continue to take appropriate actions to manage the business in this challenging environment due to the flexibility of its workforce and the strength of its balance sheet.
    

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
    
Recent Accounting Standard Update Not Yet Adopted

    In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. This standard requires an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, each reporting entity should estimate an allowance for expected credit losses, which is intended to result in more timely recognition of losses. This model replaces multiple existing impairment models in current U.S. GAAP, which generally require a loss to be incurred before it is recognized. The new standard applies to trade receivables arising from revenue transactions such as contract assets and accounts receivable. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, revenue is recognized when, among other criteria, it is probable that an entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to when goods or services are transferred to a customer. When trade receivables are recorded, they become subject to the CECL model and estimates of expected credit losses on trade receivables over their contractual life will be required to be recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance is effective for smaller reporting companies with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including the interim periods in the year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, and will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective.


NOTE 4 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

Nature of Services

    We account for a contract when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable. Revenues are recognized over time, using an input or output method, as the control of the promised services is transferred to the client in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The majority of our contracts are short-term in nature as they include termination clauses that allow either party to cancel within a short termination period, without cause. Revenue includes billable travel and other reimbursable costs and is reported net of sales or use taxes collected from clients and remitted to taxing authorities.

    We generally determine standalone selling prices based on the prices included in our client contracts, using expected cost plus profit, or other observable prices. The price as specified in our client contracts is generally considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable input that depicts the price as if sold to a similar client in similar circumstances. Certain client contracts have variable consideration, including usage-based fees that increase the transaction price and volume rebates or other similar items that generally reduce the transaction price. We estimate variable consideration using the expected value method based on the terms of the client contract and historical evidence. These amounts may be constrained and are only included in revenue to the extent we do not expect a significant reversal when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimated amounts of variable consideration subject to constraints are not material, and we do not believe that there will be significant changes to our estimates.

    We record accounts receivable when our right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets primarily relate to our rights to consideration for services provided that such rights to consideration are conditional on satisfaction of future performance obligations. A contract liability for deferred revenue is recorded when consideration is received, or is
- 7 -

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(unaudited)
unconditionally due, from a client prior to transferring control of services to the client under the terms of a contract. Deferred revenue balances typically result from advance payments received from clients prior to transferring control of services. Other than deferred revenue, we do not have any material contract assets or liabilities as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, deferred revenue was $223 and $533, respectively.

    Payment terms vary by client and the services offered. We consider payment terms that exceed one year to be extended payment terms. Substantially all of the Company’s contracts include payment terms of 90 days or less, and we do not extend payment terms beyond one year.

    We primarily record revenue on a gross basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income based upon the following key factors:

We maintain the direct contractual relationship with the client and are responsible for fulfilling the service promised to the client.

We maintain control over our contractors while the services to the client are being performed, including our contractors’ billing rates, and are ultimately responsible for paying them.

    RPO Recruitment. We provide complete recruitment outsourcing, project-based outsourcing, and recruitment consulting for clients’ permanent staff hires. We recognize revenue for our RPO recruitment over time in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to and have an enforceable right to payment in exchange for our services. The client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as they are provided. The transaction prices contain both fixed fees and variable consideration. Variable consideration is constrained by candidates accepting offers of permanent employment. We recognize revenue on fixed fees as the performance obligations are satisfied and variable fees as the constraint is lifted. We do not incur incremental costs to obtain our RPO recruitment contracts. The costs to fulfill these contracts are expensed as incurred.

    We recognize permanent placement revenue when employment candidates accept offers of permanent employment. We have a substantial history of estimating the financial impact of permanent placement candidates who do not remain with our clients through a guarantee period. Fees to clients are generally calculated as a percentage of the new employee’s annual compensation. No fees for permanent placement services are charged to employment candidates.

    Contracting. We provide RPO clients with a range of outsourced professional contract staffing services and managed service provider services, sometimes offered on a standalone basis and sometimes offered as part of a blended total talent solution. We recognize revenue for our contracting services over time as services are performed in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to and have an enforceable right to payment in exchange for our services, which is generally calculated as hours worked multiplied by the agreed-upon hourly bill rate. The client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as they are provided. We do not incur incremental costs to obtain our contracting contracts. The costs incurred to fulfill these contracts are expensed as incurred.

In the first quarter of 2022, one contracting customer ended its agreement with the Company. For the full year ended December 31, 2021, the contracting customer generated revenue of $44,888, or 27% of the Company’s revenue, which is reported as revenue in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and Direct contracting costs and reimbursed expenses of $43,980, which is reported as Direct contracting costs and reimbursed expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue less direct contracting costs and reimbursed expenses for this customer was $908, or 1% of the Company’s total revenue less direct contracting costs and reimbursed expenses of $68,157, for the full year ended December 31, 2021. The Company does not believe that the loss of this customer will have a material adverse impact on the Company and its subsidiaries.

    Unsatisfied performance obligations. As a practical expedient, we do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an expected original duration of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.

On August 19, 2022, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement by and among Hudson RPO Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“HnB Buyer”), Hunt & Badge Consulting Private Limited (“Seller”), and certain principals of HnB, and completed the acquisition by HnB Buyer of all of the membership interests of the Seller (the “HnB Acquisition”).

Hunt & Badge Consulting Private Limited is a provider of recruitment services to customers operating in India. HnB partners with companies of all sizes, including well-known multinationals, across a variety of industries to help meet their talent procurement needs.

In connection with the HnB Acquisition, Seller received $1,064 in cash, subject to certain adjustments, at the closing of the HnB Acquisition. Additionally, Seller has a contingent right to receive earn-out payments not to exceed $350 in aggregate payable over an eighteen-month period, subject to the achievement of certain performance thresholds and, the satisfaction of certain conditions.

The HnB Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price of $1,274, which consists of the amount paid in cash of $1,064, a preliminary working capital adjustment of $60, net of an owner receivable of $15, and contingent earn-out payments of up to $350 (which such earn-out payments are contingent upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones through December 2023), was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair values on the acquisition date of August 19, 2022, with the excess recorded as goodwill. The purchase price included $314 of cash and cash equivalents acquired. As of September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value for the contingent earn-out payments that the Company classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy was $150, which is based on achievement of 70% of the specified revenue targets. These fair value estimates are classified as Level 3 measurements, and they are based on significant inputs not observed in the market and reflect our own assumptions (forecasted revenue) through December 31, 2023.

In determining the fair value of the contingent consideration liability, the Company used an estimate based on a number of possible projections over the earn-out period. Given the short duration of the earn-out period, the fair value of contingent liability was measured on an undiscounted basis. The Company will continue to reassess the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration at each reporting period based on additional information as it becomes available. This contingent consideration will be remeasured quarterly. If, as a result of remeasurement, the value of the contingent consideration changes, any charges or income will be marked to market and included in “Other income (expense), net” on the

Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, no gains or losses were recognized in earnings for changes in the remeasurement of the contingent consideration.

The estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration requires very subjective assumptions to be made of various potential revenue results. The values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on the fair value available and may be adjusted during the measurement period of up to 12 months from the date of acquisition as further information becomes available. Excluding the contingent consideration, any changes in the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the measurement period may result in adjustments to goodwill. The Company incurred transaction costs related to the HnB Acquisition of $37 that were expensed as part of “Office and general”.

The Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 included revenue of $18 and net income of $3 from HnB.

There are no employment stipulations for Williams associated with the MIPA.

The Karani Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price of $8,673, which consists of the amount paid in cash of $6,805, a promissory note of $2,000, and a working capital credit of $132, was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair values on the acquisition date of October 29, 2021, with the excess recorded as goodwill. The purchase price included $737 of cash and cash equivalents acquired. The Company incurred transaction costs related to the acquisition of approximately $200 that were expensed as part of Office and general on the Consolidated Statements of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition to the purchase price, Hudson agreed to pay a $250 retention payment to the Chief Financial Officer of Karani, which is classified as compensation expense, recorded on a straight-line basis.

The Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 included revenue of $2,541 and $7,658, respectively, and net income of $385 and $744, respectively, from Karani.

NOTE 6 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Incentive Compensation Plan
    The Company maintains the Hudson Global, Inc. 2009 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan, as amended and restated on May 24, 2016 and further amended on September 14, 2020 (the “ISAP”), pursuant to which it can issue equity-based compensation incentives to eligible participants. The ISAP permits the granting of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other types of equity-based awards. The Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) will establish such conditions as it deems appropriate on the granting or vesting of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other types of equity-based awards. As determined by the Compensation Committee, equity awards also may be subject to immediate vesting upon the occurrence of certain events following a change in control of the Company. The Company primarily grants restricted stock and restricted stock units to its employees. A restricted stock unit is equivalent to one share of the Company’s common stock and is payable only in common stock of the Company issued under the ISAP.
    The Compensation Committee administers the ISAP and may designate any of the following as a participant under the ISAP: any officer or other employee of the Company or its affiliates or individuals engaged to become an officer or employee; consultants or other independent contractors who provide services to the Company or its affiliates; and non-employee directors of the Company. On May 17, 2022, the Companys stockholders at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders approved amendments to the ISAP to, among other things, increase the number of shares of the Companys common stock that are reserved for issuance by 250,000 shares. As of September 30, 2022, there were 235,616 shares of the Company’s common stock available for future issuance under the ISAP.
All share issuances related to stock compensation plans are issued from the aforementioned stock available for future issuance under stockholder approved compensation plan.
In the first quarter of 2021, the Company granted restricted stock units subject to performance vesting conditions for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 of 73,596 and 53,075, respectively. In addition, in the first quarter of 2021, the Company granted 25,500 of discretionary time-vested stock units to certain employees that were not subject to performance conditions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted 50,160 restricted stock units

(unaudited)
subject to performance vesting conditions for the year ended December 31, 2022, and granted 5,250 of discretionary time-vested stock units to certain employees that were not subject to performance conditions.
A summary of the quantity and vesting conditions for stock-based units granted to the Companys employees for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was as follows:
Vesting conditionsNumber of Restricted Stock Units Granted
Performance and service conditions - Type 1 (1) (2)

Performance and service conditions - Type 2 (1) (2)
15,667 
Service conditions only - Type 1 (2)
5,250 
Total shares of stock award granted55,410 

(1)The performance conditions with respect to restricted stock units may be satisfied as follows: 
(a)For employees from the Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe, (i) 70% of the restricted stock units may be earned on the basis of performance as measured by a “regional adjusted EBITDA”, and (ii) 30% of the restricted stock units may be earned on the basis of performance as measured by a “group adjusted EBITDA”;
(b)For grants to Corporate office employees subject to 2022 performance conditions, 100% of the restricted stock units may be earned on the basis of performance as measured by a “group adjusted EBITDA”; and.
(c)For grants to Coit Principals subject to 2022 performance conditions, 100% of the restricted stock units may be earned on the basis of performance as measured by a “Coit EBITDA”.

(2)To the extent restricted stock units are earned, such restricted stock units will vest on the basis of service as follows:
(a)33% and 66.6% for Type 1 and Type 2, respectively, of the restricted stock units will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date;
(b)33% and 16.7% for Type 1 and Type 2, respectively, of the restricted stock units will vest on the second anniversary of the grant date; and
(c)34% and 16.7% for Type 1 and Type 2, respectively, of the restricted stock units will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date; provided that, in each case, the employee remains employed by the Company from the grant date through the applicable service vesting date.
The Company also maintains the Director Deferred Share Plan (the “Director Plan”) as part of the ISAP pursuant to which it can issue restricted stock units to its non-employee directors. A restricted stock unit is equivalent to one share of the Company’s common stock and is payable only in common stock issued under the ISAP upon a director ceasing service as a member of the Company’s Board. The restricted stock units vest immediately upon grant and are credited to each of the non-employee director’s retirement accounts under the Director Plan. Restricted stock units issued under the Director Plan contain the right to a dividend equivalent award in the form of additional restricted stock units. The dividend equivalent award is calculated using the same rate as the cash dividend paid on a share of the Company’s common stock, and then divided by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date the dividend is paid to determine the number of additional restricted stock units to grant. Dividend equivalent awards have the same vesting terms as the underlying awards. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted 8,321 restricted stock units to its non-employee directors pursuant to the Director Plan.
    As of September 30, 2022, 222,607 restricted stock units are deferred under the Company’s ISAP.
On October 1, 2020, the Company granted 52,226 restricted shares of common stock to be issued over 30 months in connection with the acquisition of Coit Staffing, Inc. See “Shares of Common Stock” in this Note 6 for additional information.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Provision

    Under ASC 270, “Interim Reporting”, and ASC 740-270, “Income Taxes – Intra Period Tax Allocation”, the Company is required to adjust its effective tax rate for each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the full year where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the calculation of the estimated annual effective tax rate. Applying the provisions of ASC 270 and ASC 740-270 could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.
Effective Tax Rate

    The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $1,657 on a pre-tax income of $8,724, compared to a provision for income taxes of $475 on pre-tax income of $1,644 for the same period in 2021. The Company’s effective income tax rate was positive 19% and positive 29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the effective tax rates differed from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to changes in valuation allowances in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, which reduces or eliminates the effective tax rate on current year profits or losses, foreign tax rate differences, taxes on repatriations or deemed repatriation of foreign profits, and non-deductible expenses.
Uncertain Tax Positions 
    As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $360, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, which if recognized in the future, would lower the Company’s effective income tax rate.
     The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of the provision for income taxes. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $124 and $110, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits.
        Based on information available as of September 30, 2022, it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by up to $400 over the next 12 months as a result of projected resolutions of global tax examinations and controversies and potential expirations of the applicable statutes of limitations.

In many cases, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities. Tax years with net operating losses (“NOLs”) remain open until such losses expire or until the statutes of limitations for those years when the NOLs are used expire. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s open tax years, which remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities, are between 2014 and 2021 depending on the jurisdiction.
    The Company believes that its unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2022 are appropriately reflected for all years subject to examination above.

Net Operating Losses (“NOLs”), Capital Losses, and Valuation Allowance

The Company recorded a valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets for NOLs and Capital Losses as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We intend to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets for NOLs until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances in the future.
    
NOTE 8 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
    Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. When the effects are not anti-dilutive, diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding and the impact of all dilutive potential common shares, primarily stock options “in-the-money”, unvested restricted stock, and unvested restricted stock units. The dilutive impact of stock options, unvested restricted stock, and unvested restricted stock units is determined by applying the “treasury stock” method. Performance-based restricted stock awards are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions: (i) are satisfied prior to the end of the reporting period; or (ii) would be satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related performance period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. Stock awards subject to vesting or exercisability based on the achievement of market conditions are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share only when the market conditions are met.
    A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:
