The comparative year-end condensed consolidated statement of financial position data presented was derived from audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Management estimates are also utilized in the Company&#8217;s goodwill impairment assessment and in the valuation of stock grants subject to market conditions.  Actual results and outcomes may differ from management's estimates and assumptions. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Advertising Costs.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred.

The new guidance requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The guidance permits companies to either apply the requirements retrospectively to all prior periods presented, or apply the requirements in the year of adoption, through a cumulative adjustment. The amended guidance also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. In March 2016, amended guidance was issued to clarify implementation guidance on principal versus agent consideration. In April 2016, an amendment provided clarifications on determining whether a promised license provides a customer with a right to use or a right to access an entity&#8217;s intellectual property. In May 2016, an amendment provided narrow scope improvements and practical expedients to reduce the potential diversity, cost and complexity of applying new revenue standard. These amendments, as well as the original guidance, are all effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018 and the Company intends to implement the standard with the modified retrospective approach, which recognizes the cumulative effect of application recognized on that date. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, and the Company does not anticipate significant changes to systems, processes, or controls.&#160; </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Lease Accounting. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which changes financial reporting as it relates to leasing transactions. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, for the lease term. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application is permitted for all entities upon issuance. Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. &#160;While the impact of the adoption of this guidance will include the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company's statement of financial position, the Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance on its systems, processes, and controls.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments in Statement of Cash Flows. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In August 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance designed to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows, including: i) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; ii) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; and iii) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies. The new guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its financial statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:12px;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;In January 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to simplify the goodwill impairment testing process. The new standard eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. If a company determines in Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test that the carrying value of goodwill is greater than the fair value, an impairment in that amount should be recorded to the income statement, rather than proceeding to Step 2.

Under the amended guidance, entities are required to account for the effects of a modification if the fair value, vesting conditions or classification (as an equity instrument or a liability instrument) of the modified award change from that of the original award immediately before the modification. The new guidance is effective for the Company in interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

The complaint alleges that salaried Staffing Managers located throughout the U.S. have been misclassified as exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act&#8217;s overtime pay requirements. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount for unpaid overtime on behalf of themselves and the class they purport to represent. Plaintiffs also seek an unspecified amount for statutory penalties, attorneys&#8217; fees and other damages. After considerable motion practice in the District Court and two appeals to the Third Circuit, both of which were decided in the Company&#8217;s favor, the United States Supreme Court for the second time denied a petition by Plaintiffs for review on October 30, 2017.&#160; The practical result of the Supreme Court&#8217;s denial is to leave in place the dismissal of the case by the lower courts.  The Company believes that this brings an end to this litigation which the Company continues to believe was not meritorious. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On March&#160;13, 2014, Plaintiff Leonor Rodriguez, on her own behalf and on behalf of a putative class of allegedly similarly situated individuals, filed a complaint against the Company in the Superior Court of California, San Diego County. The complaint alleges that a putative class of current and former employees of the Company working in California since March&#160;13, 2011 were denied compensation for the time they spent interviewing with clients of the Company as well as performing activities related to the interview process. Rodriguez seeks recovery on her own behalf and on behalf of the putative class in an unspecified amount for this allegedly unpaid compensation. Rodriguez also seeks recovery of an unspecified amount for the alleged failure of the Company to provide her and the putative class with accurate wage statements. Rodriguez also seeks an unspecified amount of other damages, attorneys&#8217; fees, and statutory penalties, including but not limited to statutory penalties on behalf of herself and other allegedly &#8220;aggrieved employees&#8221; as defined by California&#8217;s Labor Code Private Attorney General Act (&#8220;PAGA&#8221;). On October 10, 2014, the Court granted a motion by the Company to compel all of Rodriguez&#8217;s claims, except the PAGA claim, to individual arbitration. At this stage of the litigation, it is not feasible to predict the outcome of or a range of loss, should a loss occur, from this proceeding and, accordingly, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">no</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;amounts have been provided in the Company&#8217;s Financial Statements.

The complaint, which was filed by the same plaintiffs&#8217; law firm that brought the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Rodriguez</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;matter described above, alleges claims similar to those alleged in </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Rodriguez</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.&#160; Specifically, the complaint alleges that a putative class of current and former employees of the Company working in California since March&#160;13, 2010 were denied compensation for the time they spent interviewing &#8220;for temporary and permanent employment opportunities&#8221; as well as performing activities related to the interview process. Gentry seeks recovery on her own behalf and on behalf of the putative class in an unspecified amount for this allegedly unpaid compensation. Gentry also seeks recovery of an unspecified amount for the alleged failure of the Company to provide her and the putative class with accurate wage statements. Gentry also seeks an unspecified amount of other damages, attorneys&#8217; fees, and statutory penalties, including penalties for allegedly not paying all wages due upon separation to former employees and statutory penalties on behalf of herself and other allegedly &#8220;aggrieved employees&#8221; as defined by PAGA. On January 4, 2016, the Court denied a motion by the Company to compel all of Gentry&#8217;s claims, except the PAGA claim, to individual arbitration. At this stage of the litigation, it is not feasible to predict the outcome of or a range of loss, should a loss occur, from this proceeding and, accordingly, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">no</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;amounts have been provided in the Company&#8217;s Financial Statements.

complaint filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 23, 2010, by Plaintiffs David Opalinski and James McCabe, on behalf of themselves and a putative class of similarly situated Staffing Managers, naming the Company and one of its subsidiaries as Defendants. On October 30, 2017, after considerable motion practice in the District Court and two appeals to the Third Circuit, both of which were decided in the Company&#8217;s favor, the United States Supreme Court for the second time denied a petition by Plaintiffs for review.  The practical result of the Supreme Court&#8217;s denial is to leave in place the dismissal of the case by the lower courts.

These statements may be identified by words such as &#8220;estimate&#8221;, &#8220;forecast&#8221;, &#8220;project&#8221;, &#8220;plan&#8221;, &#8220;intend&#8221;, &#8220;believe&#8221;, &#8220;expect&#8221;, &#8220;anticipate&#8221;, or variations or negatives thereof or by similar or comparable words or phrases. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the global financial and economic situation; changes in levels of unemployment and other economic conditions in the United States or foreign countries where the Company does business, or in particular regions or industries; reduction in the supply of candidates for temporary employment or the Company&#8217;s ability to attract candidates; the entry of new competitors into the marketplace or expansion by existing competitors; the ability of the Company to maintain existing client relationships and attract new clients in the context of changing economic or competitive conditions; the impact of competitive pressures, including any change in the demand for the Company&#8217;s services, on the Company&#8217;s ability to maintain its margins; the possibility of the Company incurring liability for its activities, including the activities of its temporary employees, or for events impacting its temporary employees on clients&#8217; premises; the possibility that adverse publicity could impact the Company&#8217;s ability to attract and retain clients and candidates; the success of the Company in attracting, training, and retaining qualified management personnel and other staff employees; the Company&#8217;s ability to comply with governmental regulations affecting personnel services businesses in particular or employer/employee relationships in general; whether there will be ongoing demand for Sarbanes-Oxley or other regulatory compliance services; the Company&#8217;s reliance on short-term contracts for a significant percentage of its business; litigation relating to prior or current transactions or activities, including litigation that may be disclosed from time to time in the Company&#8217;s Securities and Exchange Commission (&#8220;SEC&#8221;) filings; the ability of the Company to manage its international operations and comply with foreign laws and regulations; the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; the possibility that the additional costs the Company will incur as a result of health care reform may adversely affect the Company&#8217;s profit margins or the demand for the Company&#8217;s services; the possibility that the Company&#8217;s computer and communications hardware and software systems could be damaged or their service interrupted; and the possibility that the Company may fail to maintain adequate financial and management controls and as a result suffer errors in its financial reporting. Additionally, with respect to Protiviti, other risks and uncertainties include the fact that future success will depend on its ability to retain employees and attract clients; there can be no assurance that there will be ongoing demand for Sarbanes-Oxley or other regulatory compliance services; failure to produce projected revenues could adversely affect financial results; and there is the possibility of involvement in litigation relating to prior or current transactions or activities. Because long-term contracts are not a significant part of the Company&#8217;s business, future results cannot be reliably predicted by considering past trends or extrapolating past results.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Executive Overview</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Demand for the Company&#8217;s temporary and permanent placement staffing and risk consulting and internal audit services is largely dependent upon general economic and labor trends both domestically and abroad. Since the start of 2017, U.S. business leaders, particularly owners of small and midsized companies, have expressed confidence in their prospects. Correspondingly, for the third quarter of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, we saw improvement in sequential demand for temporary and consultant staffing and risk consulting and internal audit services segments. Outside the U.S., all three of the Company's reportable segments were positively impacted by improving economic conditions, particularly in continental Europe. During the first three quarters of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, net service revenues were </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$3.92 billion</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">decrease</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;from the prior year. Net income </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">decreased</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">8%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$244 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and diluted net income per share </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">decreased</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">5%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$1.94</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Revenue growth for temporary and permanent placement staffing was down </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;and risk consulting and internal audit services remained essentially flat for the first three quarters of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;compared to the first three quarters of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We believe that the Company is well positioned in the current macroeconomic environment. The United States economic backdrop throughout the first three quarters of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;was stable for the Company as real gross domestic product (GDP) grew 1.2%, 3.1% and 3.0% for the first, second, and third quarter, respectively, while the unemployment rate declined from 4.7% in December 2016 to 4.5%, 4.4% and 4.2% at the end of the first, second, and third quarter of 2017, respectively. In the United States, the number of job openings has exceeded the number of hires since February 2015, creating competition for skilled talent that increases the Company's value to clients. In addition, a number of professional occupations are nearing full employment, which is placing pressure on the supply of available talent and increasing our value to clients. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Protiviti has been broadening its practice areas and now serves clients in a wide range of consulting areas. These include business performance improvement; data management and advanced analytics; digital transformation; forensics; technology consulting; internal audit and financial advisory services; risk and compliance; and transaction services.</font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">13</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We monitor various economic indicators and business trends in all of the countries in which we operate to anticipate demand for the Company&#8217;s services. We evaluate these trends to determine the appropriate level of investment, including personnel, which will best position the Company for success in the current and future global macroeconomic environment. The Company&#8217;s investments in headcount are typically structured to proactively support and align with expected revenue growth trends. During the first three quarters of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, temporary and consultant staffing, permanent placement staffing and risk consulting and internal audit headcount were all up modestly compared to prior year-end levels.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We have limited visibility into future revenues not only due to the dependence on macroeconomic conditions noted above, but also because of the relatively short duration of the Company&#8217;s client engagements. Accordingly, we typically assess headcount and other investments on at least a quarterly basis. That said, based on current trends and conditions, we expect headcount levels for our full-time staff to remain steady for each of our reporting segments in the US, with modest headcount growth internationally as demand requires it, throughout the remainder of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Capital expenditures for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">nine</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;months ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;totaled $29 million, approximately 52% of which represented investments in software initiatives and technology infrastructure, both of which are important to the Company&#8217;s future growth opportunities. While upgrades to enterprise resource planning and project management applications were completed in the third quarter, we continue to invest in digital technology initiatives designed to enhance our service offerings to both clients and candidates. Capital expenditures also included amounts spent on tenant improvements and furniture and equipment in the Company's leased offices. We currently expect that 2017 capital expenditures will range from $40 million to $50 million.</font></div><div><a name="sC47F254310CE55D8B4D1F368434EC823"></a></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company&#8217;s most critical accounting policies and estimates are those that involve subjective decisions or assessments and are included in the Company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2016</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Other than updates to estimates used in the Company&#8217;s goodwill impairment assessment discussed below, there were no material changes to the Company's accounting policies or estimates for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">nine</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;months ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. </font></div><div><a name="sFDD31ECDE51D584EB59F02726397CA93"></a></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Goodwill Impairment. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill annually in the second quarter, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#8220;FASB&#8221;) authoritative guidance. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of June&#160;30, 2017, and determined that no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was required.  There were no events or changes in circumstances since the annual goodwill impairment assessment that caused the Company to perform an interim impairment assessment.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company follows FASB authoritative guidance utilizing a two-step approach for determining goodwill impairment. In the first step, the Company determines the fair value of each reporting unit utilizing a present value technique derived from a discounted cash flow methodology. For purposes of this assessment the Company&#8217;s reporting units are its lines of business. The fair value of the reporting unit is then compared to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is performed. The second step under the FASB guidance is contingent upon the results of the first step. To the extent a reporting unit&#8217;s carrying value exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill may be impaired and the Company must perform a second, more detailed, impairment assessment. The second step involves allocating the reporting unit&#8217;s fair value to its net assets in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill as of the assessment date. The implied fair value of the reporting unit&#8217;s goodwill is then compared to the carrying amount of goodwill to quantify an impairment charge, if any, as of the assessment date.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company&#8217;s reporting units are </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Accountemps</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Robert Half Finance &amp; Accounting</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">OfficeTeam</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Robert Half Technology</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Robert Half Management Resources </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">and </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Protiviti</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which had goodwill balances at </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, of $127.4 million, $26.2 million, $0.0 million, $7.0 million, $0.0 million and $50.3 million, respectively, totaling </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$210.9 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. There were no changes to the Company&#8217;s reporting units or to the allocations of goodwill by reporting unit for the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">nine</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;months ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The goodwill impairment assessment is based upon a discounted cash flow analysis. The estimate of future cash flows is based upon, among other things, a discount rate and certain assumptions about expected future operating performance. The discount rate for all reporting units was determined by management based on estimates of risk free interest rates, beta and market risk premiums. The discount rate used was compared to the rate published in various third party research reports, which indicated that the rate was within a range of reasonableness. The primary assumptions related to future operating performance </font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">14</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">include revenue growth rates and profitability levels. In addition, the impairment assessment requires that management make certain judgments in allocating shared assets and liabilities to the balance sheets of the reporting units. Solely for purposes of establishing inputs for the fair value calculations described above related to its annual goodwill impairment testing, the Company made the following assumptions. The Company assumed that year-to-date trends through the date of the most recent assessment would continue for all reporting units through 2017, using unique assumptions for each reporting unit. In addition, the Company applied profitability assumptions consistent with each reporting unit&#8217;s historical trends at various revenue levels and, for years 2019 and beyond, used a 3.5% revenue growth factor. This rate is comparable to the Company&#8217;s most recent ten-year average revenue growth rate. The model used to calculate fair value extends a total of 10 years with a terminal value calculation at the end of the 10 year period. In its most recent calculation, the Company used a 10.3% discount rate, which is slightly higher than the 9.8% discount rate used for the Company&#8217;s test during the second quarter of 2016. This increase in discount rate is attributable to increases in the risk free rate and the equity market risk premium, offset by a slight decrease in beta.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In order to evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value calculations on the goodwill impairment test, the Company applied hypothetical decreases to the fair values of each reporting unit. The Company determined that hypothetical decreases in fair value of at least 62% would be required before any reporting unit would have a carrying value in excess of its fair value.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Given the current economic environment and the uncertainties regarding the impact on the Company&#8217;s business, there can be no assurance that the Company&#8217;s estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the Company&#8217;s goodwill impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If the Company&#8217;s assumptions regarding forecasted revenue growth rates or profitability assumptions of certain reporting units are not achieved, the Company may be required to recognize goodwill impairment charges in future periods. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such charge would be material.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Recent Accounting Pronouncements</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">See Note&#160;B&#8212;"New Accounting Pronouncements" to the Company&#8217;s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part&#160;I&#8212;Item&#160;1 of this report.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><a name="sEC9996AF8960506A8B38D2576866AE78"></a></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Results of Operations</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Demand for the Company&#8217;s temporary and permanent placement staffing and risk consulting and internal audit services is largely dependent upon general economic and labor market conditions both domestically and abroad. Since the start of 2017, U.S. business leaders, particularly owners of small and midsized companies, have expressed confidence in their prospects. Correspondingly, for the third quarter of 2017, we saw improvement in sequential demand for temporary and consultant staffing and risk consulting and internal audit services segments. Outside the U.S., all three of the Company's reportable segments were positively impacted by improving economic conditions, particularly in continental Europe. Because of the inherent difficulty in predicting economic trends and the absence of material long-term contracts in any of the Company's business units, future demand for the Company&#8217;s services cannot be forecast with certainty. We believe the Company is well positioned in the current global macroeconomic environment. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company&#8217;s temporary and permanent placement staffing business has 324 offices in 42 states, the District of Columbia and 17 foreign countries, while Protiviti has 56&#160;offices in 23&#160;states and 11&#160;foreign countries.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:24px;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Non-GAAP Financial Measures</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The financial results of the Company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules of the SEC.  To help readers understand the Company&#8217;s financial performance, the Company supplements its GAAP financial results with revenue growth rates derived from non-GAAP revenue amounts. Variations in the Company&#8217;s financial results include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and billing days. The Company provides &#8220;same billing days and constant currency&#8221; revenue growth calculations to remove the impact of these items. These calculations show the year-over-year revenue growth rates for the Company&#8217;s reportable segments on both a reported basis and also on a same day, constant-currency basis for global, U.S. and international operations. The Company has provided this data because management believes it better reflects the Company&#8217;s actual revenue growth rates and aids in evaluating revenue trends over time. The Company expresses year-over-year revenue changes as calculated percentages using the same number of billing days and constant currency exchange rates.</font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">15</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In order to calculate constant currency revenue growth rates, as reported amounts are retranslated using foreign currency exchange rates from the prior year&#8217;s comparable period. Management then calculates a global, weighted-average number of billing days for each reporting period based upon input from all countries and all lines of business. In order to remove the fluctuations caused by comparable periods having different billing days, the Company calculates same billing day revenue growth rates by dividing each comparative period&#8217;s reported revenues by the calculated number of billing days for that period to arrive at a per billing day amount. Same billing day growth rates are then calculated based upon the per billing day amounts. The term &#8220;same billing days and constant currency&#8221; means that the impact of different billing days has been removed from the constant currency calculation.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The non-GAAP financial measures provided herein may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company&#8217;s industry, as other companies may calculate such financial results differently.

The Company's exposure to foreign currency exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's foreign subsidiaries. Exchange rates impact the U.S. dollar value of the Company&#8217;s reported revenues, expenses, earnings, assets and liabilities. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">For the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">nine</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;months ended </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September&#160;30, 2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, approximately </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">21%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;of the Company&#8217;s revenues were generated outside of the United States. These operations transact business in their functional currency, which is the same as their local currency. As a result, fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, particularly the Canadian dollar, British pound, Euro, and Australian dollar, have an impact on the Company&#8217;s reported results. Under GAAP, revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the monthly average exchange rates prevailing during the </font></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">21</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">period. Consequently, as the value of the U.S. dollar changes relative to the currencies of the Company&#8217;s non-U.S. markets, the Company&#8217;s reported results vary.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">During the first </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">nine</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;months of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the U.S. dollar fluctuated, but generally strengthened, against the primary currencies in which the Company conducts business, compared to one year ago.  Currency exchange rates had the effect of decreasing reported net service revenues by $7 million, or 0.2%, in the first three quarters of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;compared to the same period one year ago.  The general strengthening of the U.S. dollar also affected the reported level of expenses incurred in our foreign operations.  Because substantially all our foreign operations generated revenues and incurred expenses within the same country and currency, the favorable effect of lower reported operating expenses largely offset the decline in reported revenues.  Reported net income was unchanged in the first three quarters of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;compared to the same period one year ago due to the effect of currency exchange rates.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:30px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">For the one month ended October 31, 2017, the U.S. dollar has strengthened against the Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, and Australian dollar.  If currency exchange rates were to remain at October 2017 levels throughout the remainder of 2017, the impact to the Company's full-year reported revenues would be slightly favorable, mostly offset by an unfavorable impact to operating expenses compared to full year 2016 results. Should current trends continue, the impact to reported net income would be immaterial.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Fluctuations in currency exchange rates impact the U.S. dollar amount of the Company&#8217;s stockholders&#8217; equity. The assets and liabilities of the Company&#8217;s non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at period end. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in stockholders&#8217; equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Although currency fluctuations impact the Company&#8217;s reported results and shareholders&#8217; equity, such fluctuations generally do not affect cash flow or result in actual economic gains or losses.  The Company generally has few cross-border transfers of funds, except for transfers to the U.S. for payment of intercompany loans, working capital loans made between the U.S. and the Company&#8217;s foreign subsidiaries, and dividends from the Company&#8217;s foreign subsidiaries.</font></div><div><a name="sD0980AEAB63E5DE9A9DF03C47854B3DB"></a></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:16px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">ITEM&#160;4.

On October 30, 2017, after considerable motion practice in the District Court and two appeals to the Third Circuit, both of which were decided in the Company&#8217;s favor, the United States Supreme Court for the second time denied a petition by Plaintiffs for review.  The practical result of the Supreme Court&#8217;s denial is to leave in place the dismissal of the case by the lower courts.

Revenues are predominantly derived from specialized staffing services. The Company operates in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. The Company is a Delaware corporation.
Basis of Presentation.
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ("Financial Statements") of the Company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The comparative year-end condensed consolidated statement of financial position data presented was derived from audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended
December 31, 2016
, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of, nor comparable to, the results of operations for a full year.
Principles of Consolidation.
The Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All intercompany balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. As of
September 30, 2017
, such estimates included allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable, workers' compensation losses, and income and other taxes. Management estimates are also utilized in the Company's goodwill impairment assessment and in the valuation of stock grants subject to market conditions.  Actual results and outcomes may differ from management's estimates and assumptions.
Advertising Costs.
The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
and
2016
, are reflected in the following table (in thousands):

Note B— New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Stock Compensation.
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance which changes financial reporting as it relates to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Under the new guidance, several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions will be simplified, including: i) income tax consequences;
7
ROBERT HALF INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)—(Continued)
September 30, 2017
ii) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and iii) classification on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that provides companies with a single model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. The new guidance requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The guidance permits companies to either apply the requirements retrospectively to all prior periods presented, or apply the requirements in the year of adoption, through a cumulative adjustment. The amended guidance also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. In March 2016, amended guidance was issued to clarify implementation guidance on principal versus agent consideration. In April 2016, an amendment provided clarifications on determining whether a promised license provides a customer with a right to use or a right to access an entity's intellectual property. In May 2016, an amendment provided narrow scope improvements and practical expedients to reduce the potential diversity, cost and complexity of applying new revenue standard. These amendments, as well as the original guidance, are all effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018 and the Company intends to implement the standard with the modified retrospective approach, which recognizes the cumulative effect of application recognized on that date. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, and the Company does not anticipate significant changes to systems, processes, or controls.
Lease Accounting.
In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which changes financial reporting as it relates to leasing transactions. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, for the lease term. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application is permitted for all entities upon issuance. Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.  While the impact of the adoption of this guidance will include the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company's statement of financial position, the Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance on its systems, processes, and controls.
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments in Statement of Cash Flows.
In August 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance designed to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows, including: i) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; ii) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; and iii) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies. The new guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.
In January 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to simplify the goodwill impairment testing process. The new standard eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. If a company determines in Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test that the carrying value of goodwill is greater than the fair value, an impairment in that amount should be recorded to the income statement, rather than proceeding to Step 2. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning after December 31, 2019, although early adoption is permitted. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Stock Compensation.
In May 2017, the FASB issued authoritative guidance updating which changes in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. Under the amended guidance, entities are required to account for the effects of a modification if the fair value, vesting conditions or classification (as an equity instrument or a liability instrument) of the modified award change from that of the original award immediately before the modification. The new guidance is effective for the Company in interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company believes the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Note F—Commitments and Contingencies
On April 23, 2010, Plaintiffs David Opalinski and James McCabe, on behalf of themselves and a putative class of similarly situated Staffing Managers, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey naming the Company and
one
of its subsidiaries as Defendants. The complaint alleges that salaried Staffing Managers located throughout the U.S. have been misclassified as exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act's overtime pay requirements. Plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount for unpaid overtime on behalf of themselves and the class they purport to represent. Plaintiffs also seek an unspecified amount for statutory penalties, attorneys' fees and other damages. After considerable motion practice in the District Court and two appeals to the Third Circuit, both of which were decided in the Company's favor, the United States Supreme Court for the second time denied a petition by Plaintiffs for review on October 30, 2017.  The practical result of the Supreme Court's denial is to leave in place the dismissal of the case by the lower courts.  The Company believes that this brings an end to this litigation which the Company continues to believe was not meritorious.
On March 13, 2014, Plaintiff Leonor Rodriguez, on her own behalf and on behalf of a putative class of allegedly similarly situated individuals, filed a complaint against the Company in the Superior Court of California, San Diego County. The complaint alleges that a putative class of current and former employees of the Company working in California since March 13, 2011 were denied compensation for the time they spent interviewing with clients of the Company as well as performing activities related to the interview process. Rodriguez seeks recovery on her own behalf and on behalf of the putative class in an unspecified amount for this allegedly unpaid compensation. Rodriguez also seeks recovery of an unspecified amount for the alleged failure of the Company to provide her and the putative class with accurate wage statements. Rodriguez also seeks an unspecified amount of other damages, attorneys' fees, and statutory penalties, including but not limited to statutory penalties on behalf of herself and other allegedly "aggrieved employees" as defined by California's Labor Code Private Attorney General Act ("PAGA"). On October 10, 2014, the Court granted a motion by the Company to compel all of Rodriguez's claims, except the PAGA claim, to individual arbitration. At this stage of the litigation, it is not feasible to predict the outcome of or a range of loss, should a loss occur, from this proceeding and, accordingly,
no
amounts have been provided in the Company's Financial Statements. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the allegations and the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against the litigation.
On March 23, 2015, Plaintiff Jessica Gentry, on her own behalf and on behalf of a putative class of allegedly similarly situated individuals, filed a complaint against the Company in the Superior Court of California, San Francisco County, which was subsequently amended on October 23, 2015. The complaint, which was filed by the same plaintiffs' law firm that brought the
Rodriguez
matter described above, alleges claims similar to those alleged in
Rodriguez
.  Specifically, the complaint alleges that a putative class of current and former employees of the Company working in California since March 13, 2010 were denied compensation for the time they spent interviewing "for temporary and permanent employment opportunities" as well as performing activities related to the interview process. Gentry seeks recovery on her own behalf and on behalf of the putative class in an unspecified amount for this allegedly unpaid compensation. Gentry also seeks recovery of an unspecified amount for the alleged failure of the Company to provide her and the putative class with accurate wage statements. Gentry also seeks an unspecified amount of other damages, attorneys' fees, and statutory penalties, including penalties for allegedly not paying all wages due upon separation to former employees and statutory penalties on behalf of herself and other allegedly "aggrieved employees" as defined by PAGA. On January 4, 2016, the Court denied a motion by the Company to compel all of Gentry's claims, except the PAGA claim, to individual arbitration. At this stage of the litigation, it is not feasible to predict the outcome of or a range of loss, should a loss occur, from this proceeding and, accordingly,
no
amounts have been provided in the Company's Financial Statements. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the allegations and the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against the litigation.
The Company is involved in a number of other lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. While management does not expect any of these other matters to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows, litigation is subject to certain inherent uncertainties.
Legal costs associated with the resolution of claims, lawsuits and other contingencies are expensed as incurred.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain information contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis and in other parts of this report may be deemed forward-looking statements regarding events and financial trends that may affect the Company's future operating results or financial positions. These statements may be identified by words such as "estimate", "forecast", "project", "plan", "intend", "believe", "expect", "anticipate", or variations or negatives thereof or by similar or comparable words or phrases. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the global financial and economic situation; changes in levels of unemployment and other economic conditions in the United States or foreign countries where the Company does business, or in particular regions or industries; reduction in the supply of candidates for temporary employment or the Company's ability to attract candidates; the entry of new competitors into the marketplace or expansion by existing competitors; the ability of the Company to maintain existing client relationships and attract new clients in the context of changing economic or competitive conditions; the impact of competitive pressures, including any change in the demand for the Company's services, on the Company's ability to maintain its margins; the possibility of the Company incurring liability for its activities, including the activities of its temporary employees, or for events impacting its temporary employees on clients' premises; the possibility that adverse publicity could impact the Company's ability to attract and retain clients and candidates; the success of the Company in attracting, training, and retaining qualified management personnel and other staff employees; the Company's ability to comply with governmental regulations affecting personnel services businesses in particular or employer/employee relationships in general; whether there will be ongoing demand for Sarbanes-Oxley or other regulatory compliance services; the Company's reliance on short-term contracts for a significant percentage of its business; litigation relating to prior or current transactions or activities, including litigation that may be disclosed from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings; the ability of the Company to manage its international operations and comply with foreign laws and regulations; the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; the possibility that the additional costs the Company will incur as a result of health care reform may adversely affect the Company's profit margins or the demand for the Company's services; the possibility that the Company's computer and communications hardware and software systems could be damaged or their service interrupted; and the possibility that the Company may fail to maintain adequate financial and management controls and as a result suffer errors in its financial reporting. Additionally, with respect to Protiviti, other risks and uncertainties include the fact that future success will depend on its ability to retain employees and attract clients; there can be no assurance that there will be ongoing demand for Sarbanes-Oxley or other regulatory compliance services; failure to produce projected revenues could adversely affect financial results; and there is the possibility of involvement in litigation relating to prior or current transactions or activities. Because long-term contracts are not a significant part of the Company's business, future results cannot be reliably predicted by considering past trends or extrapolating past results.
Executive Overview
Demand for the Company's temporary and permanent placement staffing and risk consulting and internal audit services is largely dependent upon general economic and labor trends both domestically and abroad. Since the start of 2017, U.S. business leaders, particularly owners of small and midsized companies, have expressed confidence in their prospects. Correspondingly, for the third quarter of
2017
, we saw improvement in sequential demand for temporary and consultant staffing and risk consulting and internal audit services segments. Outside the U.S., all three of the Company's reportable segments were positively impacted by improving economic conditions, particularly in continental Europe. During the first three quarters of
2017
, net service revenues were
$3.92 billion
, a
decrease
of
2%
from the prior year. Net income
decreased
8%
to
$244 million
and diluted net income per share
decreased
5%
to
$1.94
. Revenue growth for temporary and permanent placement staffing was down
2%
and risk consulting and internal audit services remained essentially flat for the first three quarters of
2017
compared to the first three quarters of
2016
.
We believe that the Company is well positioned in the current macroeconomic environment. The United States economic backdrop throughout the first three quarters of
2017
was stable for the Company as real gross domestic product (GDP) grew 1.2%, 3.1% and 3.0% for the first, second, and third quarter, respectively, while the unemployment rate declined from 4.7% in December 2016 to 4.5%, 4.4% and 4.2% at the end of the first, second, and third quarter of 2017, respectively. In the United States, the number of job openings has exceeded the number of hires since February 2015, creating competition for skilled talent that increases the Company's value to clients. In addition, a number of professional occupations are nearing full employment, which is placing pressure on the supply of available talent and increasing our value to clients.
Protiviti has been broadening its practice areas and now serves clients in a wide range of consulting areas. These include business performance improvement; data management and advanced analytics; digital transformation; forensics; technology consulting; internal audit and financial advisory services; risk and compliance; and transaction services.
13
We monitor various economic indicators and business trends in all of the countries in which we operate to anticipate demand for the Company's services. We evaluate these trends to determine the appropriate level of investment, including personnel, which will best position the Company for success in the current and future global macroeconomic environment. The Company's investments in headcount are typically structured to proactively support and align with expected revenue growth trends. During the first three quarters of
2017
, temporary and consultant staffing, permanent placement staffing and risk consulting and internal audit headcount were all up modestly compared to prior year-end levels.
We have limited visibility into future revenues not only due to the dependence on macroeconomic conditions noted above, but also because of the relatively short duration of the Company's client engagements. Accordingly, we typically assess headcount and other investments on at least a quarterly basis. That said, based on current trends and conditions, we expect headcount levels for our full-time staff to remain steady for each of our reporting segments in the US, with modest headcount growth internationally as demand requires it, throughout the remainder of
2017
.
Capital expenditures for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
totaled $29 million, approximately 52% of which represented investments in software initiatives and technology infrastructure, both of which are important to the Company's future growth opportunities. While upgrades to enterprise resource planning and project management applications were completed in the third quarter, we continue to invest in digital technology initiatives designed to enhance our service offerings to both clients and candidates. Capital expenditures also included amounts spent on tenant improvements and furniture and equipment in the Company's leased offices. We currently expect that 2017 capital expenditures will range from $40 million to $50 million.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company's most critical accounting policies and estimates are those that involve subjective decisions or assessments and are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2016
. Other than updates to estimates used in the Company's goodwill impairment assessment discussed below, there were no material changes to the Company's accounting policies or estimates for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
.
Goodwill Impairment.
The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill annually in the second quarter, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") authoritative guidance. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of June 30, 2017, and determined that no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was required.  There were no events or changes in circumstances since the annual goodwill impairment assessment that caused the Company to perform an interim impairment assessment.
The Company follows FASB authoritative guidance utilizing a two-step approach for determining goodwill impairment. In the first step, the Company determines the fair value of each reporting unit utilizing a present value technique derived from a discounted cash flow methodology. For purposes of this assessment the Company's reporting units are its lines of business. The fair value of the reporting unit is then compared to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is performed. The second step under the FASB guidance is contingent upon the results of the first step. To the extent a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit's goodwill may be impaired and the Company must perform a second, more detailed, impairment assessment. The second step involves allocating the reporting unit's fair value to its net assets in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill as of the assessment date. The implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is then compared to the carrying amount of goodwill to quantify an impairment charge, if any, as of the assessment date.
The Company's reporting units are
Accountemps
,
Robert Half Finance & Accounting
,
OfficeTeam
,
Robert Half Technology

and
Protiviti
, which had goodwill balances at
September 30, 2017
, of $127.4 million, $26.2 million, $0.0 million, $7.0 million, $0.0 million and $50.3 million, respectively, totaling
$210.9 million
. There were no changes to the Company's reporting units or to the allocations of goodwill by reporting unit for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
.
The goodwill impairment assessment is based upon a discounted cash flow analysis. The estimate of future cash flows is based upon, among other things, a discount rate and certain assumptions about expected future operating performance. The discount rate for all reporting units was determined by management based on estimates of risk free interest rates, beta and market risk premiums. The discount rate used was compared to the rate published in various third party research reports, which indicated that the rate was within a range of reasonableness. The primary assumptions related to future operating performance
14
include revenue growth rates and profitability levels. In addition, the impairment assessment requires that management make certain judgments in allocating shared assets and liabilities to the balance sheets of the reporting units. Solely for purposes of establishing inputs for the fair value calculations described above related to its annual goodwill impairment testing, the Company made the following assumptions. The Company assumed that year-to-date trends through the date of the most recent assessment would continue for all reporting units through 2017, using unique assumptions for each reporting unit. In addition, the Company applied profitability assumptions consistent with each reporting unit's historical trends at various revenue levels and, for years 2019 and beyond, used a 3.5% revenue growth factor. This rate is comparable to the Company's most recent ten-year average revenue growth rate. The model used to calculate fair value extends a total of 10 years with a terminal value calculation at the end of the 10 year period. In its most recent calculation, the Company used a 10.3% discount rate, which is slightly higher than the 9.8% discount rate used for the Company's test during the second quarter of 2016. This increase in discount rate is attributable to increases in the risk free rate and the equity market risk premium, offset by a slight decrease in beta.
In order to evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value calculations on the goodwill impairment test, the Company applied hypothetical decreases to the fair values of each reporting unit. The Company determined that hypothetical decreases in fair value of at least 62% would be required before any reporting unit would have a carrying value in excess of its fair value.
Given the current economic environment and the uncertainties regarding the impact on the Company's business, there can be no assurance that the Company's estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the Company's goodwill impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If the Company's assumptions regarding forecasted revenue growth rates or profitability assumptions of certain reporting units are not achieved, the Company may be required to recognize goodwill impairment charges in future periods. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such charge would be material.

Demand for the Company's temporary and permanent placement staffing and risk consulting and internal audit services is largely dependent upon general economic and labor market conditions both domestically and abroad. Since the start of 2017, U.S. business leaders, particularly owners of small and midsized companies, have expressed confidence in their prospects. Correspondingly, for the third quarter of 2017, we saw improvement in sequential demand for temporary and consultant staffing and risk consulting and internal audit services segments. Outside the U.S., all three of the Company's reportable segments were positively impacted by improving economic conditions, particularly in continental Europe. Because of the inherent difficulty in predicting economic trends and the absence of material long-term contracts in any of the Company's business units, future demand for the Company's services cannot be forecast with certainty. We believe the Company is well positioned in the current global macroeconomic environment.
The Company's temporary and permanent placement staffing business has 324 offices in 42 states, the District of Columbia and 17 foreign countries, while Protiviti has 56 offices in 23 states and 11 foreign countries.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial results of the Company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules of the SEC.  To help readers understand the Company's financial performance, the Company supplements its GAAP financial results with revenue growth rates derived from non-GAAP revenue amounts. Variations in the Company's financial results include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and billing days. The Company provides "same billing days and constant currency" revenue growth calculations to remove the impact of these items. These calculations show the year-over-year revenue growth rates for the Company's reportable segments on both a reported basis and also on a same day, constant-currency basis for global, U.S. and international operations. The Company has provided this data because management believes it better reflects the Company's actual revenue growth rates and aids in evaluating revenue trends over time. The Company expresses year-over-year revenue changes as calculated percentages using the same number of billing days and constant currency exchange rates.
15
In order to calculate constant currency revenue growth rates, as reported amounts are retranslated using foreign currency exchange rates from the prior year's comparable period. Management then calculates a global, weighted-average number of billing days for each reporting period based upon input from all countries and all lines of business. In order to remove the fluctuations caused by comparable periods having different billing days, the Company calculates same billing day revenue growth rates by dividing each comparative period's reported revenues by the calculated number of billing days for that period to arrive at a per billing day amount. Same billing day growth rates are then calculated based upon the per billing day amounts. The term "same billing days and constant currency" means that the impact of different billing days has been removed from the constant currency calculation.
The non-GAAP financial measures provided herein may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company's industry, as other companies may calculate such financial results differently. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to actual revenue growth derived from revenue amounts presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of the same-day, constant-currency revenue growth rates to the reported revenue growth rates is provided herein.
Refer to Item 3. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" for further discussion of the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2017
and
2016
Revenues.
The Company's revenues were
$1.32 billion
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2017
,
decreasing
by
1%
compared to
$1.34 billion
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2016
. Revenues from foreign operations represented
23%
of total revenues for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2017
,
up
from
20%
of total revenues for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2016
. The Company analyzes its revenues for three reportable segments: temporary and consultant staffing, permanent placement staffing, and risk consulting and internal audit services. For the
three
months ended
September 30, 2017
, revenue for temporary and consultant staffing, and risk consulting and internal audit services were down, while permanent placement staffing segment was up, compared to the same period in
2016
. Contributing factors for each reportable segment are discussed below in further detail.
Temporary and consultant staffing revenues were
$1.00 billion
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2017
,
decreasing
by
1.1%
compared to revenues of
$1.02 billion
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2016
. Key drivers of temporary and consultant staffing revenues include average hourly bill rates and the number of hours worked by the Company's temporary employees on client engagements. On a same-day, constant-currency basis, temporary and consultant staffing revenues
decreased
0.4%
for the
third
quarter of
2017
compared to the
third
quarter of
2016
, due primarily to fewer hours worked by the Company's temporary employees, partially offset by a 2.5% increase in average bill rates. In the U.S., revenues in the
third
quarter of
2017
decreased
4.5%
on an as reported basis and
3.0%
on a same-day basis, compared to the
third
quarter of
2016
. For the Company's international operations,
2017
third
quarter revenues
increased
12.6%
on an as reported basis and
10.2%
on a same-day, constant-currency basis, compared to the
third
quarter of
2016
.
Permanent placement staffing revenues were
$111 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2017
,
increasing
by
5.9%
compared to revenues of
$105 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2016
. Key drivers of permanent placement staffing revenues consist of the number of candidate placements and average fees earned per placement. Both the number of placements and average fees per placement were up for the third quarter of
2017
compared to the third quarter of
2016
. In the U.S., revenues for the
third
quarter of
2017
increased
1.5%
on an as reported basis and
3.2%
on a same-day basis, compared to the
third
quarter of
2016
. For the Company's international operations, revenues for the
third
quarter of
2017
increased
16.5%
on an as reported basis and
15.1%
on a same-day, constant-currency basis, compared to the
third
quarter of
2016
. Historically, demand for permanent placement staffing is even more sensitive to economic and labor market conditions than demand for temporary and consultant staffing and this is expected to continue.
Risk consulting and internal audit services revenues were
$209 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2017
,
decreasing
by
4.0%
compared to revenues of
$217 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2016
. Key drivers of risk consulting and internal audit services revenues are the billable hours worked by consultants on client engagements and average hourly bill rates. On a same-day, constant-currency basis, risk consulting and internal audit services revenues
decreased
2.7%
for the
third
quarter of
2017
compared to the
third
quarter of
2016
. Billable hour declines were partially offset by increased billing rates.  In the U.S., revenues in the
third
quarter of
2017
decreased
6.9%
on an as reported basis and
5.4%
on a same-day basis, compared to the
third
quarter of
2016
. Contributing to the U.S. decrease were services related to technology consulting,
16
risk and  compliance, and internal audit and financial advisory.  The Company's risk consulting and internal audit services revenues from international operations
increased
11.5%
on an as reported basis and
11.6%
on a same-day, constant-currency basis for the
third
quarter of
2017
compared to the
third
quarter of
2016
.
A reconciliation of the non-GAAP year-over-year revenue growth rates to the as reported year-over-year revenue growth rates for the

Gross Margin.
The Company's gross margin dollars were
$546 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2017
,
decreasing
by
1.1%
compared to
$553 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2016
. Contributing factors for each reportable segment are discussed below in further detail.
Gross margin dollars from the Company's temporary and consultant staffing represent revenues less direct costs of services, which consist of payroll, payroll taxes and benefit costs for temporary employees, and reimbursable expenses. The key drivers of gross margin are: i) pay-bill spreads, which represent the differential between wages paid to temporary employees and amounts billed to clients; ii) fringe costs, which are primarily composed of payroll taxes and benefit costs for temporary and consultant staffing employees; and iii) conversion revenues, which are earned when a temporary position converts to a permanent position with the Company's client. Gross margin dollars for the Company's temporary and consultant staffing division were
$373 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2017
,
decreasing
1.8%
compared to
$381 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2016
. As a percentage of revenues, gross margin for temporary and consultant staffing was
37.2%
in the
third
quarter of
2017
,
down
from
37.4%
in the
third
quarter of
2016
. This year-over-year decline in gross margin percentage is primarily attributable to higher fringe costs.
Gross margin dollars from permanent placement staffing represent revenues less reimbursable expenses. Gross margin dollars for the Company's permanent placement staffing division were
$111 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2017
,
increasing
5.9%
from
$105 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2016
. Because reimbursable expenses for permanent placement staffing are de minimis, gross margin dollars are substantially explained by revenues previously discussed.
Gross margin dollars for risk consulting and internal audit services represent revenues less direct costs of services, which consist primarily of professional staff payroll, payroll taxes, benefit costs and reimbursable expenses. The primary drivers of risk consulting and internal audit services gross margin are: i) the relative composition of and number of professional staff and their respective pay and bill rates; and ii) staff utilization, which is the relationship of time spent on client engagements in proportion to the total time available for the Company's risk consulting and internal audit services staff. Gross margin dollars for the Company's risk consulting and internal audit division were
$62 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2017
,
decreasing
8%
compared to
$67 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2016
. As a percentage of revenues, gross margin for risk consulting and internal audit services in the
third
quarter of
2017
was
29.6%
,
down
from
30.9%
in the
third
quarter of
2016
. The decline in the
third
quarter of
2017
gross margin compared to the
third
quarter of
2016
was primarily due to slightly lower staff utilization rates.

,
increasing
2.0%
from
$406 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2016
. As a percentage of revenues, the Company's selling, general and administrative expenses were
31.3%
for the
third
quarter of

28.4%
in the
third
quarter of
2017

up
from
27.8%
in the
third
quarter of
2016
due primarily to negative operating leverage resulting from decreased revenues.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Company's permanent placement staffing division were
$91 million

81.9%
in the
third
quarter of
2017
,
up
from
80.5%
in the
third
quarter of
2016
due primarily to increases in staff compensation.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Company's risk consulting and internal audit services division were
$37 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2017
,
decreasing
by
4.3%
compared to
$39 million
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2016
. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses for risk consulting and internal audit services were
17.9%
for both the
third
quarter of
2017
and
2016
.

. For the Company's temporary and consultant staffing division, operating income was
$88 million
, or
8.7%
of applicable revenues,
down
from
$98 million
, or
9.6%
of applicable revenues, in the
third
quarter of
2016
. For the Company's permanent placement staffing division, operating income remained flat at
$20 million
, or
17.9%
and
19.3%
of applicable revenues for the
third
quarter of
2017
and
2016
, respectively. For the Company's risk consulting and internal audit services division, operating income was $24 million, or
11.8%
of applicable revenues,
down
from an operating income of
$28 million
, or
13.0%
of applicable revenues, in the
third
quarter of
2016
.
Provision for income taxes
. The provision for income taxes was
36.0%
and
38.1%
for the
three
months ended
September 30, 2017
and
2016
, respectively.  The lower tax rate is primarily due to additional credits and foreign restructuring, as well as lower state taxes that impacted the provision positively compared to the same period in 2016.
Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2017
and
2016
Revenues.
The Company's revenues were
$3.92 billion

for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2016
. Key drivers of temporary and consultant staffing revenues include average hourly bill rates and the number of hours worked by the Company's temporary employees on client engagements. On a same-day, constant-currency basis, temporary and consultant staffing revenues
decreased
1.6%
for the first three quarters of
2017
compared to the first three quarters of
2016
, due primarily to fewer hours worked by the Company's temporary employees, partially offset by a 2.9% increase in average bill rates. In the U.S., revenues in the first three quarters of
2017
decreased
4.5%
on an as reported basis and
4.0%
on a same-day basis, compared to the first three quarters of
2016
. For the Company's international operations, revenues for the first three quarters of

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Because a portion of the Company's net revenues are derived from its operations outside the U.S. and are denominated in local currencies, the Company is exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The Company's exposure to foreign currency exchange rates relates primarily to the Company's foreign subsidiaries. Exchange rates impact the U.S. dollar value of the Company's reported revenues, expenses, earnings, assets and liabilities.
For the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
, approximately
21%
of the Company's revenues were generated outside of the United States. These operations transact business in their functional currency, which is the same as their local currency. As a result, fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, particularly the Canadian dollar, British pound, Euro, and Australian dollar, have an impact on the Company's reported results. Under GAAP, revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the monthly average exchange rates prevailing during the
21
period. Consequently, as the value of the U.S. dollar changes relative to the currencies of the Company's non-U.S. markets, the Company's reported results vary.
During the first
nine
months of
2017
, the U.S. dollar fluctuated, but generally strengthened, against the primary currencies in which the Company conducts business, compared to one year ago.  Currency exchange rates had the effect of decreasing reported net service revenues by $7 million, or 0.2%, in the first three quarters of
2017
compared to the same period one year ago.  The general strengthening of the U.S. dollar also affected the reported level of expenses incurred in our foreign operations.  Because substantially all our foreign operations generated revenues and incurred expenses within the same country and currency, the favorable effect of lower reported operating expenses largely offset the decline in reported revenues.  Reported net income was unchanged in the first three quarters of
2017
compared to the same period one year ago due to the effect of currency exchange rates.
For the one month ended October 31, 2017, the U.S. dollar has strengthened against the Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, and Australian dollar.  If currency exchange rates were to remain at October 2017 levels throughout the remainder of 2017, the impact to the Company's full-year reported revenues would be slightly favorable, mostly offset by an unfavorable impact to operating expenses compared to full year 2016 results. Should current trends continue, the impact to reported net income would be immaterial.
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates impact the U.S. dollar amount of the Company's stockholders' equity. The assets and liabilities of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at period end. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in stockholders' equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Although currency fluctuations impact the Company's reported results and shareholders' equity, such fluctuations generally do not affect cash flow or result in actual economic gains or losses.  The Company generally has few cross-border transfers of funds, except for transfers to the U.S. for payment of intercompany loans, working capital loans made between the U.S. and the Company's foreign subsidiaries, and dividends from the Company's foreign subsidiaries.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Management, including the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Vice Chairman 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. Based upon that evaluation, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during the Company's last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company's prior filings contained disclosures regarding a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on April 23, 2010, by Plaintiffs David Opalinski and James McCabe, on behalf of themselves and a putative class of similarly situated Staffing Managers, naming the Company and one of its subsidiaries as Defendants. On October 30, 2017, after considerable motion practice in the District Court and two appeals to the Third Circuit, both of which were decided in the Company's favor, the United States Supreme Court for the second time denied a petition by Plaintiffs for review.  The practical result of the Supreme Court's denial is to leave in place the dismissal of the case by the lower courts.  The Company believes that this brings an end to this litigation which the Company continues to believe was not meritorious.
There have been no material developments with regard to the other legal proceedings previously disclosed in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2016
