Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share, including
the revised title and definition of Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share,
later in this press release.
Commenting on the results, Art Zeile, President and CEO of
DHI Group, said:
"In the third quarter we continued to see a steady rise in new
tech job postings, with the third quarter's total of over 600,000
reported by CompTIA showing year over year growth for the first
time in over a year. In September, there were 225,000 new tech job
postings, marking a 22% increase from the previous year, and the
recently released October data shows the addition of 223,000 new
tech jobs, representing a 34% year-over-year increase. This
significant year over year growth is encouraging and, I believe,
reflects that a broader recovery is starting to take place across
our industry. AI initiatives are increasingly driving demand for
tech professionals. As businesses ramp up their investment in AI
technology initiatives, we believe our 8.8 million technologist
profiles and our proprietary tech skills mapping and search
algorithms, will be essential tools for employers looking to find
the ideal candidates for their open tech job postings."
Updating 2024 full-year guidance, Raime Leeby, CFO of DHI
Group, commented:
"While we expect our bookings to return to growth next year, we
expect our fourth quarter bookings to be down 8% to 10% year over
year, and we expect our revenue for the fourth quarter to be down
7% to 8% year over year. From a profitability perspective, we
continue to target an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 24% for the full
year."
Chief Financial Officer Transition
Today, DHI announced that Raime Leeby will step down as Chief
Financial Officer effective November 15, 2024, to pursue an
opportunity outside DHI. Greg Schippers will assume the role of
Interim Chief Financial Officer ("Interim CFO") at that time.
"Raime will be leaving at the end of the week to pursue an
exciting opportunity with a former employer," said Art Zeile, CEO
of DHI Group. “We are grateful for her outstanding contributions as
CFO, during which she strengthened our finance team's processes,
accountability, and culture. Greg Schippers, our current Vice
President of Finance and Controller, with over 10 years of
experience at DHI Group, will step in as Interim CFO, bringing
strong expertise in financial planning, fiscal oversight, and
strategic decision-making. We are confident in his ability to lead
our finance team forward. We will miss Raime and wish her all the
best in this new chapter."

Leeby, Chief Financial Officer, will host a conference call today,

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and oral statements made from time to time by
our representatives contain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. You should
not place undue reliance on those statements because they are
subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to our
operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to
predict and many of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking
statements include, without limitation, information concerning our
possible or assumed future financial condition, liquidity and
results of operations, including expectations (financial or
otherwise), our strategy, plans, objectives, and intentions, growth
potential, and statements regarding our 2024 financial outlook.
These statements often include words such as “may,” “will,”
“should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,”
“estimate,” "target" or similar expressions. These statements are
based on assumptions that we have made in light of our experience
in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends,
current conditions, expected future developments and other factors
we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. Although we
believe that these forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could
affect our actual financial results or results of operations and
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not
limited to, our ability to execute our tech-focused strategy,
competition from existing and future competitors in the highly
competitive markets in which we operate, failure to adapt our
business model to keep pace with rapid changes in the recruiting
and career services business, failure to maintain and develop our
reputation and brand recognition, failure to increase or maintain
the number of customers who purchase recruitment packages,
cyclicality or downturns in the economy or industries we serve,
uncertainty in respect to the regulation of data protection and
data privacy, failure to attract qualified professionals to our
websites or grow the number of qualified professionals who use our
websites, failure to successfully identify or integrate
acquisitions, U.S. and foreign government regulation of the
Internet and taxation, our ability to borrow funds under our
revolving credit facility or refinance our indebtedness and
restrictions on our current and future operations under such
indebtedness. These factors and others are discussed in more detail
in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, all of which are available on the Investors page of our
website at www.dhigroupinc.com, including the Company’s most
recently filed reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and subsequent
filings under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking
Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.” You should keep in mind that
any forward-looking statement made by the Company or its
representatives herein, or elsewhere, speaks only as of the date on
which it is made. New risks and uncertainties come up from time to
time, and it is impossible to predict these events or how they may
affect us. We have no obligation to update any forward-looking
statements after the date hereof, except as required by applicable
federal securities laws.
Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
The Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information
as additional information for its operating results. These measures
are not in accordance with, or alternatives to, measures in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (“GAAP”) and may be different from similarly titled
non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company believes
that its presentation of non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and non-GAAP Earnings Per Share
provides useful information to management and investors regarding
certain financial and business trends relating to the Company's
financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the
Company’s management uses these measures for reviewing the
financial results of the Company and for budgeting and planning
purposes. Non-GAAP results exclude the impact of items that
management believes affect the comparability or underlying business
trends in our condensed consolidated financial statements in the
periods presented. The non-GAAP measures apply to consolidated
results or other measures as shown within this document. The
Company has provided required reconciliations to the most
comparable GAAP measures elsewhere in the document.
Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share (Previously titled Adjusted
Diluted Earnings Per Share)
Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share is a non-GAAP performance measure
that management believes is useful to investors and management in
understanding our ongoing operations and in the analysis of
operating trends. Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share is computed as
diluted earnings per share plus or minus the impacts of certain
non-cash and other items, including non-cash stock-based
compensation, impairments, costs related to reorganizing the
Company, including severance and related costs, gains or losses on
investments, restructuring charges, and discrete tax items.
Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share is not a measurement of our
financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an
alternative to diluted earnings per share, net income, or any other
performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as a measure
of our profitability.
The Company revised its definition of non-GAAP Earnings Per
Share beginning with the first quarter of 2024 to exclude the
impact of non-cash stock-based compensation in an effort to provide
a more transparent and comparable view of its financial
performance. Accordingly, all prior periods presented have been
recast to reflect the current definition.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures
used by management to measure operating performance. Management
uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as performance
measures for internal monitoring and planning, including
preparation of annual budgets, analyzing investment decisions and
evaluating profitability and performance comparisons between us and
our competitors. The Company also uses these measures to calculate
amounts of performance-based compensation under the senior
management incentive bonus program. Adjusted EBITDA represents net
income plus (to the extent deducted in calculating such net income)
interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and
amortization, and items such as non-cash stock-based compensation,
certain write-offs in connection with indebtedness, impairment
charges with respect to long-lived assets, expenses incurred in
connection with an equity offering or any other offering of
securities by the Company, extraordinary or non-recurring non-cash
expenses or losses, losses from equity method investments,
transaction costs in connection with the credit agreement, deferred
revenue written off in connection with acquisition purchase
accounting adjustments, write-off of non-cash stock-based
compensation expense, severance and retention costs related to
dispositions and reorganizations of the Company, impairment of
investment, restructuring charges and losses related to legal
claims and fees that are unusual in nature or infrequent, minus (to
the extent included in calculating such net income) non-cash income
or gains, including income from equity method investments, interest
income, business interruption insurance proceeds, and gains related
to legal claims that are unusual in nature or infrequent.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is computed as Adjusted EBITDA divided by
revenue.
We also consider Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, as
defined above, to be important indicators to investors because they
provide information related to our ability to provide cash flows to
meet future debt service, capital expenditures, working capital
requirements, and to fund future growth. We present Adjusted EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as supplemental performance measures
because we believe that these measures provide our board of
directors, management and investors with additional information to
measure our performance, provide comparisons from period to period
by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital
structures (affecting interest expense) and tax positions (such as
the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax
rates or net operating losses), and to estimate our value.
We understand that although Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Margin are frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and
others in their evaluation of companies, Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA Margin have limitations as analytical tools, and
you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for
analysis of our liquidity or results as reported under GAAP. Some
limitations are:
- Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect our
cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures
or contractual commitments;
- Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect
changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital
needs;
- Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not reflect
interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service
interest or principal payments on our debt;
- Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges,
the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be
replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Margin do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
and
- Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA Margin differently than we do, limiting their
usefulness as comparative measures.
To compensate for these limitations, management evaluates our
liquidity by considering the economic effect of excluded expense
items independently, as well as in connection with its analysis of
cash flows from operations and through the use of other financial
measures, such as capital expenditure budget variances, investment
spending levels and return on capital analysis.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measurements
of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be
considered as an alternative to revenue, operating income, net
income, net income margin, cash provided by operating activities,
or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP
as a measure of our profitability or liquidity.

(1) Includes Dice and Career Events
(2) For the three months ended September
30, 2024, net loss and diluted loss per share includes the negative
impact of non cash stock-based compensation, restructuring and
severance and related costs of $3.5 million ($2.6 million net of
tax), and discrete tax items of $0.1 million resulting in a net
negative impact of $2.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share. For
the three months ended September 30, 2023, net income and diluted
earnings per share includes the net negative impact of non cash
stock-based compensation, restructuring, impairment, gain on
investment and severance and related costs of $2.4 million ($1.8
million net of tax), resulting in a net negative impact of $1.8
million, or $0.04 per diluted share
(3) Net income (loss) margin and Adjusted
EBITDA Margin are calculated by dividing the respective measure by
that period's revenue.
(4) For the nine months ended September
30, 2024, net loss and diluted loss per share includes the net
negative impact of non cash stock-based compensation,
restructuring, impairment, gain on investment and severance and
related costs of $8.1 million ($6.1 million net of tax), and
discrete tax items of $2.3 million resulting in a net negative
impact of $8.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2023, net income and diluted earnings
per share includes the net negative impact of non cash stock-based

(1) Non-GAAP earnings per share was
previously titled Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share.
(2) The Company revised its definition of
non-GAAP earnings per share beginning with the first quarter of
2024 to exclude the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation
expense. All prior periods have been recast to conform with the
revised definition. See "Notes Regarding the Use of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures" elsewhere in the document.
(3) Non-GAAP adjustment is presented on a
gross basis, which excludes the impact of income taxes.
(4) The Company utilized a federal rate
plus a net state rate that excluded the impact of share-based
compensation awards and other discrete items to calculate its
non-GAAP blended statutory income tax rate of 25% for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The non-GAAP rate
has been applied to compute the tax impact of non-GAAP
adjustments.
(5) Discrete tax items resulted from the
tax impacts of share-based compensation awards and from state taxes
related to research and development expenditures in the nine months
ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
(6) Adjusts, as applicable, for the share
impact of common stock equivalents, where dilutive, and for the
impacts of rounding.

Guidance
Earlier in this press release, the Company provided guidance for
Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We
are unable to reconcile expected Adjusted EBITDA margin to its
nearest GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts because we are
unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual
impact of items such as non-cash stock-based compensation,
impairments, income tax expense, gains or losses from equity method
investments, severance and retention costs, restructuring charges
and legal claims and fees. By their very nature, these items are
difficult to anticipate with precision because they are generally
associated with unexpected and unplanned events that impact our
company and its financial results. Therefore, we are unable to
provide a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure without
unreasonable efforts.
