SUNGARD DATA SYSTEMS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

1. Basis of Presentation:

 

SunGard Data Systems Inc. (the Company) has three segments: Investment Support Systems (ISS), Availability Services (AS) and Other Businesses. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

 

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Interim financial reporting does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003.

 

2. Acquisitions:

 

The Company seeks to grow through both internal development and the acquisition of businesses that broaden or complement its existing product lines. During the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company completed two acquisitions in its ISS segment and one acquisition in its Other Businesses segment. Gross cash paid in connection with these acquisitions is $203.3 million, subject to certain adjustments. Pro forma combined results of operations are not presented, other than in connection with the July 2002 acquisition of Guardian iT plc (Guardian), since the results as reported in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income would not be materially different.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company completed three acquisitions in its ISS segment. Gross cash paid in connection with these acquisitions is $22.6 million, subject to certain adjustments. Goodwill recorded is $10.6 million.

 

In connection with certain previously acquired businesses, a total of up to $171.0 million could be paid as additional consideration over the next three years contingent upon the future operating performance of those businesses. The amount paid, if any, will be recorded as additional goodwill at the time the actual performance is known and the amounts become due. During the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company paid $15.0 million as additional consideration based upon the operating performance of a business previously acquired.

 

At March 31, 2003, the purchase-price allocations to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for two of the three acquisitions completed during the three months ended March 31, 2003 are preliminary. Goodwill recorded for all three acquisitions is $119.3 million. These allocations are

expected to be finalized in the second quarter when independent valuations of the identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are completed. In addition, the Guardian purchase-price allocation is still preliminary, but will be completed during the second quarter of 2003 upon finalization of facility closure plans and property lease valuations.

Because of the acquisitions completed in the first quarter of 2003 (and the finalization of purchase price allocations of previously completed acquisitions), the estimated amortization expense for each of the years 2003 to 2007 contained in Footnote 1 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 has been updated. In addition, because certain of these allocations are still preliminary, it is likely that the estimated annual amortization expense will continue to be updated as the allocations are finalized. Based on amounts recorded at March 31, 2003, total estimated amortization of all acquisition-related intangible assets during each of the years ended December 31 follows (in thousands):

In connection with the integration of the last two AS acquisitions into the Company’s AS segment, the Company accrued, as a cost of the acquisitions and as part of goodwill, estimated costs of closing certain acquired facilities and reducing acquired headcount. The estimated costs for closing certain of the Company’s existing facilities and headcount reductions related to the Company’s existing employees were included in merger costs. Generally, all equipment located at closed facilities is relocated to other facilities, thereby improving the operational resilience and scope of services available to customers.

The remaining facility closure accrual relates primarily to the remaining lease obligations for 12 facilities identified for closure, net of estimated sublease income, and will be paid over their remaining lease terms, which expire between 2003 and 2017, unless terminated earlier.

 

Merger Costs:

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2003, no merger costs were recorded. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, merger costs related to closing certain facilities of the availability solutions business of Comdisco Inc. totaled $1.7 million (less than $.01 per diluted share).

During the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company had approximately 19.5 million outstanding employee stock options that are out-of-the-money and therefore excluded from the calculation of the dilutive effect of employee stock options. These stock options are considered to be out-of-the-money because the option exercise prices exceed the average share price during the three months ended March 31, 2003. The dilutive effect of employee stock options is measured by the amount, if any, that individual stock option exercise prices are less than the average share price during the period.

5. Stock-Based Compensation:

 

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion Number 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” in accounting for its stock option and award plans. Accordingly, compensation expense has been recorded for its restricted stock awards and no expense has been recorded for its other stock-based plans. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123), changed the method for recognition of cost of stock option and award plans. Adoption of the cost recognition requirements under SFAS 123 is optional; however, the following supplemental information is provided for each of the three months ended March 31 (in thousands, except per-share amounts):

The weighted-average fair value of the options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 is estimated to be $11.54 and $18.84 per share, respectively, on the date of grant, representing 60% and 57%, respectively, of the weighted-average market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions in both periods: volatility of 52%; expected term of six years (nine and one-half years for unvested performance accelerated stock options); risk-free interest rate of 3.1%; and no dividend yield. The effects of applying SFAS 123 in this pro forma disclosure are not necessarily indicative of the impact on future years, since the Company anticipates that additional options and awards will be made in future years.

 

6. Comprehensive Income:

 

Comprehensive income consists of net income adjusted for other increases and decreases affecting stockholders’ equity that are excluded from the determination of net income. The calculation of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 follows (in thousands):

7. Segment Information:

 

The Company has three segments: ISS, AS and Other Businesses. Effective January 1, 2003, a change in management responsibilities caused a reclassification of a business that provides workflow management systems, primarily to healthcare insurance organizations, from Other Businesses to ISS. This change in segment reporting has been reflected for all periods presented. The operating results for each of the segments for each of the quarters of 2002, the year ended December 31, 2002 and the three months ended March 31, 2003 follows (in thousands):

Income from Operations:

 

Overall results for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were consistent with the Company’s expectation. The Company’s total operating margin was unchanged at 19% due to improvement in the AS margin and no merger costs in 2003, offset by the impact of lower software license and professional services revenues in ISS.

 

Investment Support Systems:

 

The ISS operating margin is 19% and 23% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The lower margin in 2003 is due primarily to a $6.7 million decline in license and resale fees, a $10.2 million decline in professional services revenues and the initial impact of recently acquired

Table of Contents

businesses with lower operating margins, offset in part by cost controls implemented during 2002 in response to slowing revenue growth.

 

Availability Services:

 

The AS operating margin is 23% and 19% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The higher margin in 2003 is due primarily to cost reductions associated with the successful integration of the availability solutions business of Comdisco Inc. (CAS), offset in part by the lower margin of Guardian iT plc (Guardian) and higher costs resulting from expansion of the Company’s North American facilities and equipment upgrades throughout the Company’s service offerings. When compared to the margin in the fourth quarter of 2002, the first quarter margin declined from 28% to 23%, due primarily to higher costs resulting from expansion of the Company’s North American facilities and equipment upgrades throughout the Company’s service offerings and, to a lesser extent, higher commission expense. For most AS contracts, commissions are fully earned on the service start dates, and typically a disproportionate number of AS contracts have service start dates of January 1, resulting in more commission expense in the first quarter than the other three quarters.

 

Other Businesses:

 

The Other Businesses operating margin is 11% and 13% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The lower margin in 2003 is due primarily to the initial effect of a recent acquisition.

 

Revenues:

 

Total revenues increased $66.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the first quarter of 2002. Revenues of businesses owned for at least 12 months (internal revenues) were unchanged compared to internal revenue growth of approximately 2% in the first quarter of 2002. The lower rate of internal revenue growth was due primarily to the economic slowdown throughout 2002, with no meaningful change during the first three months of 2003.

 

Services revenues, which are largely recurring in nature, include revenues from availability services, processing services, software support and rentals, professional services and hardware rentals. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, services revenues increased 14% to $620.2 million, representing approximately 92% of total revenues, compared to $544.1 million, or 90% of total revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The increase in 2003 is due primarily to the impact of acquired businesses and higher AS revenues, offset in part by lower professional services revenues in ISS.

 

Professional services revenues are $80.3 million and $89.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in 2003 is due primarily to a decrease in ISS revenues, especially benefit and investor management systems and wealth management systems, offset in part by acquired businesses. This decline is due primarily to lower customer spending for new and existing projects across ISS.

 

Revenues from license and resale fees are $36.7 million and $50.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and include software license revenues of $31.8 million and $36.4 million, respectively. The lower software license revenues in 2003 are due primarily to the economic

Table of Contents

slowdown resulting in lower customer spending for new software systems. The lower resale fees are due primarily to a $4.9 million AS equipment sale in 2002 and lower ISS revenues.

 

Investment Support Systems:

 

ISS revenues increased $14.3 million, or 4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the corresponding period in 2002. ISS internal revenues decreased approximately 4% in 2003 compared to a decrease of approximately 2% in the first quarter of 2002. The rate of decline in ISS internal revenues for the first quarter of 2003 was consistent with the rate of decline for the fourth quarter of 2002. The continued decline in ISS internal revenue is due primarily to the economic slowdown resulting in lower customer spending across ISS. As a percentage of total revenues, ISS revenues were 52% and 56% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, because AS grew faster than ISS.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2003, ISS services revenues increased $17.1 million, or 6%, while ISS license and resale fees decreased $6.7 million, or 18%. The increase in services revenues is due primarily to acquired businesses, offset in part by lower services revenues from brokerage and trading systems and a $10.4 million decline in ISS internal revenues from professional services. The decline is due primarily to lower customer spending for new and existing projects across most ISS businesses.

 

Availability Services:

 

AS revenues increased $50.3 million, or 21%, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the corresponding period in 2002. AS internal revenues increased approximately 5% and 11% in 2003 and 2002, respectively. The rate of increase in AS internal revenues for the first quarter of 2003 was relatively consistent with the rate of increase for the fourth quarter of 2002. The year over year decline in AS internal revenue growth is due primarily to ongoing efforts to renew shorter-term CAS contracts at lower monthly fees in exchange for longer contractual commitments, and to the continuing development of more varied and affordable alternatives for dedicated high-availability services, including those which may be used by larger customers to adopt internal solutions for part or all of their needs. In addition, the continued economic slowdown has resulted in lower capital spending by customers, which lessens demand and in turn intensifies competition and pricing pressures. AS revenues as a percentage of total revenues were 43% and 39% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, because AS grew faster than ISS.

 

Other Businesses:

 

Revenues from Other Businesses increased $1.7 million, or 5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the corresponding period in 2002. The increase is due to a recent acquisition offset in part by a small net decline in internal revenues from existing businesses.

Table of Contents

 

Costs and Expenses:

 

Total costs and expenses as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were consistent at 81%, with the impact of cost controls implemented during 2002 offset by the lower margins of recently acquired businesses.

 

Cost of sales and direct operating expenses increased as a percentage of total revenues to 45% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to 42% for the comparable period in 2002. The increase is due to the acquisitions of Guardian and certain ISS businesses, which have a higher percentage of total expenses included in cost of sales.

 

Sales, marketing and administration expenses declined as a percentage of total revenues to 19% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to 22% for the comparable period in 2002. The decrease is due primarily to cost controls implemented during 2002 and lower sales costs caused by slowing revenue growth.

 

Since AS product development costs are insignificant, it is more meaningful to measure product development costs as a percentage of revenues from ISS and Other Businesses. For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, product development costs were 11% of revenues from ISS and Other Businesses. Gross development costs capitalized are $2.7 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Amortization of previously capitalized development costs, included in depreciation and amortization, is $1.8 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, resulting in net capitalized development costs of $0.9 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

Depreciation and amortization remained at 8% of total revenues, unchanged from the corresponding period in 2002. Total depreciation and amortization increased $8.9 million, or 19%, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 due primarily to the acquisition of Guardian.

 

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets increased to 3% of total revenues compared to 2% for the comparable period in 2002. Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets increased $3.2 million, or 23%, to $17.2 million ($0.04 per diluted share compared to $0.03 per diluted share in 2002) due to recently acquired businesses.

 

Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 is $1.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The decrease is due to lower cash and investment balances and lower interest rates. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 is $1.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The decrease is due to lower debt balances under the Company’s credit line.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

 

At March 31, 2003, cash and equivalents are $365.3 million, a decrease of $74.4 million from December 31, 2002. Cash flow from operations was approximately 2.2 times net income, or $166.1 million, a decrease of $61.9 million compared with the three months ended March 31, 2002, when cash flow from operations was approximately 3.3 times net income. The decline in the ratio of cash flow from operations to net income

was due to the initial effect of the CAS acquisition in 2002, which resulted in a significant one-time reduction in the initial working capital of the acquired CAS business.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company used its operating cash flow and a portion of its existing cash to acquire three businesses for $170.7 million (net of cash acquired), to pay $15.0 million for the contingent purchase price of a previously acquired business, and to purchase property, equipment and software totaling $59.0 million. At March 31, 2003, the Company has $17.5 million of short-term debt and $186.7 million of long-term debt, while stockholders’ equity exceeds $2.3 billion. Capital spending in 2003 could total approximately $200.0 million due primarily to the planned expansion of certain AS facilities and equipment upgrades throughout the Company’s AS service offerings.

 

In addition to its short- and long-term debt, the Company’s remaining commitments consist primarily of operating leases for computer equipment and facilities and contingent purchase price obligations for previously completed acquisitions, subject to the operating performance of the acquired businesses. The maximum amount of contingent purchase price obligations due within the next year is $99.0 million and due within the next three years is $171.0 million. The Company also has outstanding letters of credit and bid bonds that total approximately $26.0 million. On April 8, 2003, the Company completed its previously announced cash tender offer for the outstanding common shares of Caminus Corporation. The gross cash paid was approximately $160.0 million, of which $140.0 million was borrowed under its existing credit agreement.

 

The Company expects that its existing cash resources and cash generated from operations for the foreseeable future will be sufficient to meet its operating requirements, debt repayments, contingent payments in connection with business acquisitions, and ordinary capital spending needs. At March 31, 2003, the Company has an unused $325.0 million revolving credit agreement, of which $140.0 million was used for the acquisition of Caminus. The Company believes that it has the capacity to secure additional credit or issue equity to finance additional capital needs.

 

CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

Statements about the Company’s expected margins, revenues and spending and all other statements in this Form 10-Q other than historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, actual results may differ materially from expected results. Forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future financial results of the Company and usually contain words such as “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “anticipates,” or similar expressions. The Company derives most of its forward-looking statements from its operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While the Company believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in predicting certain important factors, such as: the effect of general economic conditions on information technology spending levels, trading volumes and services revenues; the overall condition of the financial services industry and the effect of any further consolidation among financial services firms; the effect of war, terrorism or catastrophic events; the timing and magnitude of software sales; the timing and scope of technological advances, including those resulting in more alternatives for dedicated high-availability services; the integration and performance of acquired businesses, including the availability services business of Guardian, acquired on July 1, 2002; the prospects for future acquisitions; the ability to retain and attract

customers and key personnel; and the ability to obtain patent protection and avoid patent-related liabilities in the context of a rapidly developing legal framework for software and business-method patents. The factors described in this paragraph and other factors that may affect SunGard, its business or future financial results, as and when applicable, are discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, a copy of which may be obtained from SunGard without charge.

 

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK:

 

The Company has rarely used derivative financial instruments to manage risk exposures and has never used derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Available cash is invested in short-term, highly liquid financial instruments, with a substantial portion of such investments having initial maturities of three months or less, and, in connection with the Company’s acquisition program, the Company borrows cash from time to time under the terms of its variable-rate credit facility. While changes in interest rates could decrease interest income or increase interest expense, the Company does not believe that it has a material exposure to changes in interest rates. Based on borrowings under the credit facility of $175.0 million at March 31, 2003, a 1% change in the borrowing rate would increase annual interest expense related to the credit facility by $1.75 million.

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES:

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-14(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, within 90 days before the filing date of this Report. Based on their evaluations, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the evaluation date. There have been no significant changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their most recent evaluation.
