REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Solera Holdings, Inc.

San Diego, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Solera Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, comprehensive income (loss) and redeemable noncontrolling interests, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Solera Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements, effective July 1, 2009, the Company applied new accounting standards related to (1) noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries and (2) business combinations.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated September 1, 2010, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (not included herein).

SOLERA HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Solera Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company” “Solera” “we” “us” or “our”) is a leading global provider of software and services to the automobile insurance claims processing industry. Our software and services helps our customers: estimate the costs to repair damaged vehicles; determine pre-collision fair market values for vehicles damaged beyond repair; automate steps of the claims process; outsource steps of the claims process that insurance companies have historically performed internally; and monitor and manage their businesses through data reporting and analysis. We are active in over 50 countries and derive most of our revenues from our estimating and workflow software. Through our acquisitions of HPI, Ltd. (“HPI”) in December 2008 and AUTOonline GmbH In-formationssysteme (“AUTOonline”) in October 2009, we also provide used vehicle validation services in the United Kingdom and operate an eSalvage vehicle exchange platform in several European countries as well as Mexico.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Our operating results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future periods.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Our consolidated, majority-owned subsidiaries include our subsidiaries located in Belgium, France, Portugal, Spain and Mexico, as well as AUTOonline. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Specifically, we have reclassified certain expenses previously reported in operating expenses, systems development and programming costs and selling, general and administrative expenses and now report these expenses in acquisition-related costs (see Note 2). These reclassifications had no impact on the previously reported income before provision for income taxes or net income.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, future events are subject to change and estimates and judgments routinely require adjustment. The reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are affected by estimates and assumptions which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for sales allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, fair value of derivative financial instruments, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring activities, liabilities under defined benefit plans, stock-based compensation, redeemable noncontrolling interests and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents at June 30, 2010 and 2009 consisted primarily of money market funds. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.

At June 30, 2009, we held bank certificates of deposits with original maturities of greater than 90 days at the time of purchase which were considered short-term investments and, accordingly, are reported at fair value. The carrying amounts of these assets approximate fair value given the nature of the investments.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded according to contractual agreements. Credit terms for payment of products and services are extended to customers in the normal course of business and no collateral is required. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on our historical losses, the existing economic conditions, and the financial stability of our customers. Receivables are written-off in the period that they are deemed uncollectible.


Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:

 

Buildings

     20 to 40 years   

Building improvements

     5 to 15 years   

Leasehold improvements

     Lesser of 10 years or remaining lease term   

Data processing equipment

     3 years   

Furniture and fixtures

     4 to 7 years   

Machinery and equipment

     3 to 6 years   

Software licenses

     3 years   

Internal Use Software

We capitalize costs directly associated with developing or obtaining internal use computer software as well as certain payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with internal use computer software projects. The amount of capitalized payroll costs with respect to these employees is limited to the time directly spent on such projects. We expense costs associated with preliminary project stage activities, training, maintenance and all other post-implementation stage activities as incurred. Additionally, we expense internal costs related to minor upgrades and enhancements, as it is impractical to separate these costs from normal maintenance activities.

Contingent Purchase Consideration

Contingent future cash payments related to acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2010 are recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date and such amount is included in the determination of the acquisition date purchase price. We recognize any subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent future cash payments in earnings in the period that the change occurs.

We recognize the contingent future cash payments related to acquisitions completed prior to fiscal year 2010 as additional goodwill once the contingency is resolved and the amounts are due and payable.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We do not amortize goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, but instead test for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. We perform our annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment assessment on April 1 of each fiscal year. Impairment indicators arise when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable, such as a significant downturn in industry or economic trends with a direct impact on the business, an expectation that a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed of for less than the carrying value, loss of key personnel, or a significant decline in the market price of an asset or asset group.

We test goodwill for impairment annually at a reporting unit level using a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, we perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of the potential impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess.

In our annual goodwill impairment assessment for fiscal year 2010, we concluded that the fair values of the reporting units to which goodwill was assigned exceeded their respective carrying values and, accordingly, we did not identify any goodwill impairment.

We test indefinite-lived intangible assets at the unit of accounting level by making a determination of the fair value of the intangible asset. If the fair value of the intangible asset is less than its carrying value, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the difference. We also evaluate the remaining useful life of intangible assets that are not subject to amortization on an annual basis to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If we subsequently determine that an intangible asset that is not being amortized has a finite useful life, we test that asset for impairment. After recognition of the impairment, if any, we amortize the asset prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life and account for it in the same manner as other intangible assets that are subject to amortization.


In our annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessment for fiscal year 2010, we concluded that the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their respective carrying value and, accordingly, we did not identify any impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Intangible assets with finite lives primarily consist of intangible assets acquired in business combinations and the costs associated with software developed for internal use. We amortize intangible assets with finite lives acquired in business combinations on an accelerated basis to reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed. Costs associated with software developed for internal use are amortized over three- to five- years on a straight-line basis.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives and property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the price of an asset or asset group, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset or asset group is being used, the loss of legal ownership or title to the asset, significant negative industry or economic trends or the presence of other indicators that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable. We consider a long-lived asset to be impaired if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset. If we deem an asset to be impaired, the amount of the impairment loss represents the excess of the asset’s carrying value compared to its estimated fair value.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. Per Share

In fiscal year 2010, we retrospectively adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position (“FSP”) No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, which was primarily codified into FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 260-10-45, Earnings Per Share. Accordingly, because our restricted common shares subject to repurchase and restricted stock units settled in shares of common stock upon vesting have the nonforfeitable right to receive dividends on an equal basis with common stock, these securities are considered participating securities that must be included in the calculation of net income per share using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, basic and diluted net income per share are determined by calculating net income per share for common stock and participating securities based on the cash dividends paid and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Diluted net income per share also considers the dilutive effect of in-the-money stock options, calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount of assumed proceeds from unexercised stock options includes the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services not yet recognized, proceeds from the exercise of the options, and the incremental income tax benefit or liability as if the options were exercised during the period.

The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. per common share using the two-class method is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

As a result of our adoption of FSP No. EITF 03-6-1/ASC Topic No. 260-10-45 as well as the prior period adjustment described in Note 13, our basic and diluted net income (loss) attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. per common share amounts have been retrospectively recast from amounts previously reported amounts. Basic and diluted net income (loss) attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. per common share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased by $0.01 per share. Diluted net income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. per common share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 increased by $0.01 per share. Basic net income attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. per common share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 was unchanged.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue only after services are provided, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, a fee is fixed and determinable, and collectability is probable. Our multiple element arrangements primarily include a combination of software licenses, hosted database and other services, installation and set-up services, hardware, maintenance services and transaction-based deliverables.

We generate a significant majority of our revenue from subscription-based contracts (where a monthly fee is charged), transaction-based contracts (where a fee per transaction is charged) and subscription-based contracts with additional transaction-based fees (where a monthly fee and a fee per transaction are charged).

Subscription-based and transaction-based contracts generally include the delivery of software, access to software through a hosted service (“Hosted Database”), upfront fees for the implementation and set-up activities necessary for the client to use/access the software (“Implementation Services”) and maintenance. Under a subscription arrangement, delivery of software, we consider access to the Hosted Database and maintenance to be a single element or a combined unit of accounting and recognize related revenues at the end of each month upon the completion of the monthly service. The transaction-based fee represents payment for the right to use the software, access to the Hosted Database and maintenance. We consider the fee fixed and determinable only at the time actual usage occurs, and, accordingly, we recognize revenue at the time of actual usage. The revenue recognition for Implementation Services is described below.

Implementation Services and setup activities are necessary for the client to receive services/software. We defer up-front fees billed during the setup/implementation phase and recognize such revenues on a straight-line basis over the estimated customer life. Recognition of this deferred revenue will commence upon the start of the monthly service. We capitalize setup costs that are direct and incremental to the contract and recognize such revenues on a straight-line basis over the estimated customer life.

In a limited number of our revenue arrangements, we also provide generic computer equipment as part of the sales arrangement. The computer equipment in this arrangement is considered a non-software deliverable as our software is not essential to the functionality of the


generic computer equipment. We account for the sale of generic equipment as a direct finance lease and the related revenue is recognized over the term of the contract using the effective interest rate method. We allocate revenue to the elements of these arrangements on a relative fair value basis using our best estimate of the fair value of the elements. Revenue from leased computer equipment represents approximately 1% of our consolidated revenue.

We reflect revenues net of customer sales allowances, which are based on both specific identification of certain accounts and a predetermined percentage of revenue based on historical experience.

Sales and Related Taxes Collected

Sales and related taxes collected from customers and remitted to various governmental agencies are excluded from reported revenues in our consolidated statements of operations.

Cost of Revenues (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)

Our costs and expenses applicable to revenues (“cost of revenues excluding depreciation and amortization”) represent the total of operating expenses and systems development and programming costs as presented on the consolidated statement of operations. Operating expenses include the compensation and benefits costs for operations, database development and customer service personnel, other costs related to operations, database development and customer support functions, as well as third-party data and royalty costs, and the cost of computer software and hardware used directly in the delivery of our products and services. Systems development and programming costs include compensation and benefit costs for our product development and product management personnel, other costs related to its product development and product management functions and costs related to external software consultants involved in systems development and programming activities.

Software Development Costs

Costs for the development of new software products and substantial enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time any additional costs would be capitalized. The costs to develop such software have not been capitalized, as we believe our current software development process is essentially completed concurrent with the establishment of technological feasibility.

Acquisition-Related Costs

Acquisition-related costs include legal and other professional fees and other transaction costs associated with completed and contemplated business combinations and asset acquisitions, costs associated with integrating acquired businesses, including costs incurred to eliminate workforce redundancies and for product rebranding, and other charges incurred as a direct result of our acquisition efforts. These other charges include changes to the fair value of contingent purchase consideration, acquired assets and assumed liabilities subsequent to the completion of the purchase price allocation, purchase consideration that is deemed to be compensatory in nature and gains and losses resulting from the settlement of a pre-existing contractual relationship with an acquiree.

As a result of our adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 (revised), Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141(R)”), which was primarily codified into ASC Topic No. 805-10, Business Combinations, in fiscal year 2010, acquisition-related costs incurred during fiscal year 2010 included legal and professional fees and other transaction costs associated with completed acquisitions, whereas in periods prior to our adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) /ASC Topic No. 805-10, we included legal and professional fees and other transaction costs associated with completed acquisitions in the determination of the purchase price and accordingly did not charge these fees and costs against earnings.

Foreign Currency Translation

We translate our local currency financial results into U.S. dollars based on average exchange rates prevailing during a reporting period for revenues and expenses and the exchange rate at the end of that period for assets and liabilities. For each of our foreign subsidiaries, the local currency is its functional currency. These translations resulted in foreign currency translation adjustments of $(64.5) million and $(38.0) million in fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively, which are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008, we recognized net foreign currency transaction gains (losses) in our consolidated statements of operations of $(5.8) million, $1.2 million, and $4.8 million, respectively. Functional currencies of significant foreign subsidiaries include Euros, British Pounds, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars, Brazilian reals, and Mexican pesos.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes, income taxes payable and deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws to taxable years in which such differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when we determine that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset balance will not be realized within the respective carryforward period.


Derivative Financial Instruments

We principally utilize derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate exposures. Derivative financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized as a charge or credit to earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of the changes in the fair value of the derivative are initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transactions occur and affect earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized as a charge or credit to earnings. Derivative instruments not designated as hedges are marked-to-market at the end of each period with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Total advertising costs were $5.6 million, $4.9 million and $4.3 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

We expense share-based payment awards made to employees and directors in the period to which the services rendered for these awards relate. These awards include stock options, restricted common shares subject to repurchase and restricted stock units. We estimate the value of stock options as of the date the award was granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock units equals the intrinsic value on the date the award was granted. The estimated grant date fair value is then recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which generally equals the vesting period or, in the case of shares subject to repurchase, over the period to which the right to repurchase exists. Compensation expense related to our employee stock purchase plan is recognized over the applicable offering period on a straight-line basis. The amount of share-based compensation expense recognized for share-based awards is net of estimated forfeitures of unvested awards. No compensation cost is recorded for awards that do not vest.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments related to the effective portion of cash flow hedges, net of the related income tax effect, and changes in the funded status of defined benefit pension plans, net of the related income tax effect, that are excluded from the consolidated statements of operations and are reported as a separate component in stockholders’ equity.

The majority of our assets and liabilities, including goodwill, intangible assets and long-term debt, are carried in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Euro. We translate our local currency assets and liabilities in U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. These translations resulted in a foreign currency translation loss of $64.5 million during fiscal year 2010, which was caused by a strengthening in the value of the U.S. dollar versus certain foreign currencies, including the Euro. Generally, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar during the fiscal year 2010 resulted in decreases to the U.S. dollar value of certain of our assets and liabilities from June 30, 2009 to June 30, 2010, as presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, although the corresponding local currency balances may have increased or remain unchanged.

Guarantees

We recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of certain guarantees.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132R-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets, which was primarily codified into ASC Topic No. 715-20-55, Compensation—Retirement Benefits. FSP No. FAS 132R-1/ASC Topic No. 715-20-55 requires additional annual disclosures for defined benefit pension plans. The disclosures required by FSP No. FAS 132R-1/ASC Topic No. 715-20-55 are provided in Note 11.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which was primarily codified into ASC Topic No. 350-20, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. FSP No. FAS 142-3/ASC Topic No. 350-20, which we adopted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of FSP No. FAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset. FSP No. FAS 142-3/ASC Topic No. 350-20 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R)/ASC Topic No. 805-10 which requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date to be measured at their fair value as of that date. An acquirer is required to recognize assets or liabilities arising from all other contingencies as of the acquisition date, measured at their acquisition-date fair values, only if it is more likely than not that they meet the definition of an asset or a liability. Any acquisition-related costs are to be expensed instead of capitalized. Additionally, restructuring expenses generally must be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date in the period in which the expenses are incurred and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period impact income tax expense in the period in which the changes occur. SFAS No. 141(R)/ASC Topic No. 805-10 applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after July 1, 2009, including our fiscal year 2010 acquisitions described in Note 3.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51, which was primarily codified into ASC Topic No. 810-10, Consolidations. SFAS No. 160/ASC Topic No. 810-10 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS No. 160/ASC Topic No. 810-10 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. We adopted SFAS No. 160/ASC Topic No. 810-10 in fiscal year 2010 and have also given retrospective effect of this new accounting guidance to all prior periods presented. As a result, we now present the carrying amounts of the ownership interests in consolidated subsidiaries held by noncontrolling owners, to the extent that such ownership interests are not redeemable outside of our control, as a component of total stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as compared to how we presented these amounts outside of permanent


equity prior to our adoption of SFAS No. 160/ASC Topic No. 810-10. Additionally, net income now includes net income attributable to noncontrolling interests as compared to the exclusion of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests from net income prior to our adoption of SFAS No. 160/ASC Topic No. 810-10. Finally, we now present the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows using net income as calculated pursuant to SFAS No. 160/ASC Topic No. 810-10.

At the March 12, 2008 Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) meeting, the SEC Observer announced revisions to Topic No. D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, which was also primarily codified into ASC Topic No. 810-10, which provides SEC registrants with guidance on the financial statement classification and measurement of equity securities that are subject to mandatory redemption requirements or whose redemption is outside the control of the issuer. The revised Topic No. D-98/ASC Topic No. 810-10 requires noncontrolling interests that are redeemable at the option of the holder to be recorded outside of permanent equity at fair value, and the redeemable noncontrolling interests to be adjusted to their fair value at each balance sheet date. Adjustments to the carrying amount of a noncontrolling interest from the application of Topic No. D-98/ASC Topic No. 810-10 are recorded to retained earnings (or additional paid-in-capital in the absence of retained earnings). As a result of our retrospective adoption of the revised provisions of Topic No. D-98/ASC Topic No. 810-10 in fiscal year 2010, we report the carrying amounts of the ownership interests in consolidated subsidiaries held by noncontrolling owners which are redeemable outside of our control at fair value and present these amounts as a mezzanine item in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for all periods. We recorded to common shares the adjustment of the carrying value of the noncontrolling interests to fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The impact of our adoption of ASC Topic No. 810-10 on the previously reported consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 was as follows (in thousands):

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In September 2009, the FASB reached a consensus on two new pronouncements: Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)—Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, and ASU No. 2009-14, Software (Topic 985)—Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements. ASU No. 2009-13 eliminates the requirement that all undelivered elements must have either (i) vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or (ii) third-party evidence (“TPE”) of stand-alone selling price before an entity can recognize the portion of the consideration that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. In the absence of VSOE or TPE of the standalone selling price for one or more delivered or undelivered elements in a multiple-element arrangement, entities will be required to estimate the selling prices of those elements. Overall arrangement consideration will be allocated to each element (both delivered and undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices, regardless of whether those selling prices are evidenced by VSOE or TPE or are based on the entity’s estimated selling price. The residual method of allocating arrangement consideration has been eliminated. ASU No. 2009-14 modifies the software revenue recognition guidance to exclude from its scope tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver a product’s essential functionality. These new pronouncements are effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these pronouncements will have on our consolidated financial statements.


In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic No. 810-10-05, Consolidation, which changes the approach to determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, and requires companies to more frequently assess whether they must consolidate variable interest entities. ASC No. 810-10-05 is effective for annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements

 

3. Business Combinations

Acquisition of AUTOonline

On October 1, 2009, we acquired an 85% ownership interest in AUTOonline, a German limited liability company and provider of an eSalvage vehicle exchange platform in several European countries and Mexico, for cash payments totaling €59.5 million ($86.8 million). The acquisition of AUTOonline allows us to extend our core offering to now include the disposition of salvage vehicles. AUTOonline has been included in our EMEA segment. We have included the results of operations of AUTOonline in our consolidated results of operations from the acquisition date. Revenues and net income earned by AUTOonline were $22.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively, for the period from the acquisition date through June 30, 2010.

The remaining 15% ownership interest in AUTOonline held by the sellers is subject to a put-call option that may be exercised by any party beginning in fiscal year 2013, or earlier under certain circumstances. The redemption value of the option is equal to ten times AUTOonline’s consolidated earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, as set forth in the definitive share purchase agreement (the “AUTOonline EBITDA”), for the fiscal year ended prior to the exercise date, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. On the acquisition date, we valued the 15% noncontrolling interest in AUTOonline at €10.5 million ($15.4 million) based on our purchase price for the 85% ownership interest. Because the AUTOonline noncontrolling interest is redeemable at other than fair value but is not currently redeemable, we are accreting the carrying value to the redemption value at each reporting period through the earliest redemption date. Accordingly, the carrying value of the AUTOonline noncontrolling interest represents the initial carrying amount, adjusted to reflect the noncontrolling interests’ share of net income and dividends paid, plus periodic accretion. Additionally, if the redemption value of the AUTOonline noncontrolling interest were to exceed the fair value, the excess would result in an adjustment to the numerator in our calculation of net income per common share attributable to Solera Holdings, Inc. which could result in a decrease in our net income per share. At June 30, 2010, the fair value of the AUTOonline noncontrolling interest approximates its redemption value.

We have accounted for the acquisition of AUTOonline under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the total purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values was recorded as goodwill, which is not expected to be deductible for foreign income tax purposes. Although a portion of the purchase price for 85% of AUTOonline was contingent, the contingency was satisfied in December 2009 and therefore we have included the full cash value of the contingent payments in the determination of the acquisition date purchase price. Of the purchase price for AUTOonline, we have allocated €54.6 million ($80.9 million) to goodwill and €16.8 million ($24.9 million) to identifiable intangible assets. The goodwill recorded in the acquisition is the result of the unique niche nature of AUTOonline’s business and the well-established network of buyers and sellers.

The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation for the acquisition of AUTOonline (in thousands):

   $ 24,909         5.7   
           

We are amortizing the acquired identifiable intangible assets on an accelerated basis to reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed.

We valued the purchased trademark and purchased technology assets under the income approach using the relief from royalty method, which assumes value to the extent that the acquired company is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them. We valued the purchased customer relationships asset under the income approach using the excess earnings methodology based upon estimated future discounted cash flows attributable to revenues projected to be generated from those customers. We valued the non-compete agreements under the income approach based on the estimated probability-adjusted lost cash flows if the non-compete agreements had not been executed.

We incurred $0.9 million of transaction costs, including legal and other fees, related to our acquisition of AUTOonline which are included in acquisition-related costs in the consolidated statement of operations for fiscal year 2010.

Acquisition of HPI

On December 19, 2008, we acquired 100% of the outstanding share capital of HPI, a leading provider of used vehicle validation services in the United Kingdom. Our acquisition of HPI enhances our delivery of decision support data and software applications to our customers. HPI will be included in our EMEA segment.

The total purchase price for the acquisition of HPI was approximately $123.1 million (£79.9 million), which consisted of cash paid at closing of $103.3 million (£67.1 million), acquisition-related expenses of $2.5 million (£1.6 million), and a subordinated note payable with a principal amount of $17.3 million (£11.3 million). The note accrues interest at 8.0% per annum, payable annually, and becomes due and payable in full on December 31, 2011, subject to certain acceleration events. We are required to make contingent future cash payments up to a maximum aggregate amount of approximately $7.4 million (£4.8 million) if HPI achieves certain financial performance targets through December 31, 2011. If earned, these contingent future cash payments will be recognized as additional goodwill once the contingency is resolved and the amounts are due and payable. All amounts are payable in Pound Sterling.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The results of operations of HPI are included in our consolidated results of operation from the acquisition date.

We allocated the purchase price to the tangible assets, liabilities, and identifiable intangible assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair values was recorded as goodwill. None of the goodwill value recorded as part of the acquisition of HPI will be deductible for foreign income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of HPI (in thousands):

 

Goodwill

   $ 63,166

     69,626

The fair value assigned to purchased technology was determined by applying the income approach using the excess earnings methodology which involves estimating the future discounted cash flows to be derived from the currently existing technologies. The purchased trademark was valued using the income approach using the relief from royalty method, which assumes value to the extent that the acquired company is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them. The fair value assigned to the purchased customer list existing on the acquisition date was determined by applying the income approach using the excess earnings methodology based upon estimated future discounted cash flows attributable to revenues projected to be generated from those customers.

Other Acquisitions

During fiscal year 2010, we also acquired Softwaresysteme GTLDATA GmbH (“GTLDATA”), a provider of assessor management systems in Austria, and Market Scan Holding B.V. (“Market Scan”), a provider of data analytics software and services to the insurance industry in the Netherlands, for aggregate initial cash consideration of approximately €8.5 million ($11.8 million) and contingent future cash payments of up to €0.6 million ($0.7 million at June 30, 2010) that may be paid upon the achievement of certain financial performance and product-related targets, none of which were paid during fiscal year 2010. An additional upfront payment of €2.3 million ($3.0 million at June 30, 2010) was considered compensatory and therefore was excluded from the purchase price. This payment will be charged against net income as earned. Additional future cash payments of up to €2.8 million ($3.4 million at June 30, 2010) that may be paid upon the achievement of certain financial performance and product-related targets are considered compensatory and accordingly we will charge such payments against net income as earned. Of the initial purchase price of the acquisitions, approximately $6.1 million was allocated to goodwill and approximately $7.4 million was allocated to purchased software, customer relationships, and tradenames and trademarks. The weighted average amortizable life of intangible assets purchased in these acquisitions was 11.5 years.


During fiscal year 2009, we also acquired UC Universal Consulting Software Gmbh (“UCS”), a German provider of software and services to collision repair facilities, and Inpart Services Ltda. (“Inpart”), a Brazilian company that provides an internet-based auto part supplier application to auto insurance companies, for aggregate initial cash consideration of approximately $7.0 million and contingent future cash payments of up to approximately $6.5 million. If earned, these contingent future cash payments will be recognized as additional goodwill once the contingency is resolved and the amounts are due and payable. Of the initial purchase price of the acquisitions, approximately $4.5 million was allocated to goodwill and approximately $4.3 million was allocated to purchased intangible assets, including purchased technology, purchased customer relationships, trademarks and non-compete agreements. The weighted average amortizable life of intangible assets purchased in the acquisitions of UCS and Inpart was 9.0 years.

All entities have been included in our results of operations from the respective acquisition dates.

Contingent Purchase Consideration

In connection with the acquisition of HPI in December 2008, we are required to make contingent cash payments up to a maximum aggregate amount of £4.8 million ($7.3 million at June 30, 2010) if HPI achieves certain annual financial performance targets through December 31, 2011, of which £1.2 million ($1.9 million) was paid during fiscal year 2010. Additionally, in connection with other acquisitions, we are required to make contingent future cash payments of up to a maximum aggregate amount of approximately $8.6 million, of which approximately $3.8 million relates to acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2010 and the remainder relates to an acquisition completed prior to fiscal year 2010. The contingent purchase consideration becomes payable based on the acquired business’s achievement of certain financial performance and product-related targets.

Approximately $2.3 million of the contingent future cash payments related to acquisitions completed prior to fiscal year 2010, including HPI, have been earned and paid through June 30, 2010, and were recognized as additional goodwill.

5. Restructuring Initiatives

The objectives of our restructuring initiatives have been to eliminate waste and improve operational efficiencies. The restructuring reserves are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and in other noncurrent liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. All amounts incurred in connection with our restructuring activities are recorded in restructuring charges, asset impairments and other costs associated with exit or disposal activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

In April 2009, we initiated a restructuring plan in our Americas segment (the “Americas 2009 Restructuring Plan”). The primary objective of the Americas 2009 Restructuring Plan was the relocation of certain business delivery and general and administrative functions to our corporate headquarters in San Diego, California, the relocation of certain business delivery functions to San Diego and Mexico, and the closure of our facility in San Ramon, California. Under the Americas 2009 Restructuring Plan, we anticipate terminating approximately 124 employees and incurring expenses related to termination benefits of approximately $3.2 million, of which $0.2 million remains unpaid at June 30, 2010. The remaining unpaid termination benefits under the Americas 2009 Restructuring Plan are expected to be paid in fiscal year 2011. Additionally, in December 2009, we vacated our leased facility in San Ramon and, as a result, incurred net charges of $2.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 representing the remaining lease obligations, net of estimated future sublease income. At June 30, 2010, the remaining lease-related restructuring liability under the Americas 2009 Restructuring Plan was $2.8 million, which we will pay through July 2013. We also incurred charges of $1.9 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 related to a vendor contract that, as a result of the implementation of the Americas 2009 Restructuring Plan, we do not expect to provide a future economic benefit. At June 30, 2010, the remaining liability under the vendor contract was $1.7 million, which we will pay through fiscal year 2014.

In June 2008, we initiated a restructuring plan in our EMEA segment (the “EMEA 2008 Restructuring Plan”), the objective of which to create a more efficient and flexible employee workforce. Under the EMEA 2008 Restructuring Plan, we terminated approximately 64 employees and incurred termination benefits of approximately $8.3 million, of which $1.2 million remains unpaid at June 30, 2010. We expect to pay the remaining unpaid termination benefits under the EMEA 2008 Restructuring Plan through fiscal year 2011. Of the termination benefits incurred under the EMEA 2008 Restructuring Plan, approximately $0.8 million resulted from the termination of 14 employees in connection with an acquisition and, accordingly, was recorded as a component of goodwill as of the acquisition date. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, we reversed approximately $2.3 million of previously accrued restructuring charges related to the EMEA 2008 Restructuring Plan as a result of the completion of restructuring actions under the plan.

In fiscal year 2007, we initiated restructuring plans in our Americas and EMEA segments (the “2007 Restructuring Plans”). Under the 2007 Restructuring Plans, as of June 30, 2010, we have a remaining lease-related restructuring liability of $1.8 million, which we will pay through July 2013, and employee termination benefits of $0.3 million, which will we will pay in fiscal year 2011.

(3) Does not include the redeemable noncontrolling interest of AUTOonline, which is not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
(4) Included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Our cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash, primarily consist of bank deposits, money market funds and bank certificates of deposit. The fair value of the our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash are determined using quoted market prices for identical assets (Level 1 inputs).

Derivative financial instruments. Our derivative financial instruments at June 30, 2010 and 2009 consisted entirely of interest rate swaps. We estimate the fair value of its interest rate swaps using industry standard valuation techniques to extrapolate future reset rates from period-end yield curves and standard valuation models based on a discounted cash flow model. Market-based observable inputs including spot and forward rates, volatilities and interest rate curves at observable intervals are used as inputs to the models (Level 2 inputs).

Accrued contingent purchase consideration. We accrue contingent future cash payments related to acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2010 at fair value as of the acquisition date and remeasure them at fair value at each reporting date. We estimate the fair value of future contingent purchase consideration based on the weighted probabilities of potential future payments that would be earned upon achievement by the acquired business of certain financial performance and product-related targets. We determined such probabilities using information as of the reporting date, including recent financial performance of the acquired business (Level 3 inputs). The fair value of accrued contingent purchase consideration did not change significantly during fiscal year 2010.


Redeemable noncontrolling interests. We estimate the fair value of our noncontrolling interests through an income approach, utilizing a discounted cash flow model, and a market approach, which considers comparable companies and transactions (Level 3 inputs).

Under the income approach, the discounted cash flow model determines fair value based on the present value of projected cash flows over a specific projection period and a residual value related to future cash flows beyond the projection period. Both values are discounted to reflect the degree of risk inherent in an investment in the reporting unit and achieving the projected cash flows. A weighted average cost of capital of a market participant is used as the discount rate. The residual value is generally determined by applying a constant terminal growth rate to the estimated net cash flows at the end of the projection period. Alternatively, the present value of the residual value may be determined by applying a market multiple at the end of the projection period.

Under the market approach, fair value is determined based on multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for each reporting unit. For our calculation, we determined the multiples based on a selection of comparable companies and acquisition transactions, discounted for each reporting unit to reflect the relative size, diversification and risk of the reporting unit in comparison to the indexed companies and transactions.

The following table summarizes the activity in redeemable noncontrolling interests which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in thousands):

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We performed our fiscal year 2010 annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessment on April 1, 2010. We test goodwill for impairment at a reporting unit level and determine the fair value of our reporting units through an income approach and a market approach. We determine fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets at the unit of accounting level primarily under an income approach. The income approach used in each of the impairment assessments utilizes a discounted cash flow model. The market approach considers comparable companies and transactions.

Under the income approach, the discounted cash flow model determines fair value based on the present value of projected cash flows over a specific projection period and a residual value related to future cash flows beyond the projection period. Both values are discounted to reflect the degree of risk inherent in an investment in the reporting unit and achieving the projected cash flows. A weighted average cost of capital of a market participant is used as the discount rate. The residual value is generally determined by applying a constant terminal growth rate to the estimated net cash flows at the end of the projection period. Alternatively, the present value of the residual value may be determined by applying a market multiple at the end of the projection period.

Under the market approach, fair value is determined based on multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for each reporting unit. For our calculation, we determined the multiples based on a selection of comparable companies and acquisition transactions, discounted for each reporting unit to reflect the relative size, diversification and risk of the reporting unit in comparison to the indexed companies and transactions.

In our annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessments for fiscal year 2010, we concluded that the fair values of the reporting units to which goodwill was assigned and the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their respective carrying values and, accordingly, the assets were not impaired.


Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts of our senior secured credit facility approximate fair value due to the facility’s variable interest rate. The estimated fair value of the note issued to the seller in connection with our acquisition of HPI was approximately $19.2 million and $20.1 million at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which was determined using a discounted cash flow model.

 

8. Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to interest rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations. We limit interest rate risks through the use of derivatives such as interest rate swaps. Derivatives are not used for speculative purposes. We do not hedge our exposure to foreign currency risks.

The following table summarizes the fair value of our derivative financial instruments, which are included in other noncurrent liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet (in thousands):

Total

   $ 12,113       $ 22,894   
                 

We designated and documented these interest rate swaps at their inception as cash flow hedges for floating rate debt and are evaluated for effectiveness quarterly. We report the effective portion of the gain or loss on these hedges as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity and reclassified them into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. We recognize the ineffective portion of these cash flow hedges in interest expense. We determined the estimated fair values of our derivatives using industry standard valuation techniques and standard valuation models and such estimated fair values may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

In May 2007, we entered into the Amended and Restated First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement with a syndicate of commercial lenders, which provides us with the following borrowing commitments: a $50 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a $230.0 million senior secured domestic term loan (the “Domestic Term Loan”) and a €280 million senior secured European term loan (the “European Term Loan”).

The Domestic Term Loan and European Term Loan require quarterly minimum principal payments with the remaining unpaid balance due in full in May 2014. Voluntary prepayments are allowed under specified conditions and mandatory prepayments and commitment reductions are required upon the occurrence of certain events, including, among others, sales of assets, receipts of insurance or condemnation proceeds, excess cash flow and issuances of debt and equity securities. Future quarterly minimum principal payments will be reduced upon a voluntary prepayment. Due to voluntary principal prepayments made during fiscal year 2008, the quarterly minimum principal payments on the Domestic Term Loan and European Term Loan decreased to $0.6 million and €0.7 million, respectively.

Borrowings under the Amended and Restated First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement bear interest, to be reset at our option, at a rate determined by the sole lead arranger of the syndicate of commercial lenders equal to the offer rate on dollars based on the British Bankers’ Association Settlement Rate for deposits or the offer rate on the Euro from the Banking Federation of the European Union. In the event such rates are not available, borrowings bear interest at the offered quotation rate to first class banks in the London inter-bank market or European inter-bank market by Citibank USA Inc. for deposits, respectively, in each case, plus an applicable margin that varies based upon our consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement. At June 30, 2010, the interest rates on the Domestic Term Loan and European Term Loan were 2.3% and 2.5%, respectively. Interest is payable quarterly.

The costs incurred in relation to the Amended and Restated First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement, which totaled $4.4 million, were deferred and are included in other noncurrent assets in the consolidated balance sheet. We amortize these debt origination fees to interest expense over the expected term of the Amended and Restated First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement using the straight line method.

The obligations under the Amended and Restated First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets. The Amended and Restated First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement contains certain covenants including, among others, requirements related to financial reporting, maintenance of operations, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, maintenance of interest rate protection and compliance with specified financial covenants, as well as restrictions related to liens, investments, business combinations, additional indebtedness, dispositions of assets or subsidiary interests, dividends, distributions, issuances of equity securities, transactions with affiliates, capital expenditures and certain other changes in the business. The Amended and Restated First Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement also contains a leverage ratio, which is applicable only to the revolving loans and applies only if at least $10 million of revolving loans, including outstanding letters of credit, are outstanding for at least 10 days during the prior fiscal quarter. We are in compliance with its specified financial covenants at June 30, 2010.

Pursuant to agreements entered into prior to our acquisition of the Claim Services Group from Automatic Data Processing, Inc., the noncontrolling stockholders of certain of our majority-owned subsidiaries have the right to require us to redeem their shares at the then fair market value. We do not have any indication that the exercise of these redemption rights is probable within the next twelve months. Further, we do not believe the occurrence of conditions precedent to the exercise of certain of these redemption rights is probable within the next twelve months. If the stockholders exercised their redemption rights, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to fund such redemptions but such redemptions may require a waiver under our senior secured credit facility. Obtaining such a waiver would be subject to conditions prevalent in the capital markets at that time, and could involve changes to the terms of our senior secured credit facility, including changes that could result in our incurring additional interest expense. If we were not able to obtain such a waiver, we could be in breach of our senior secured credit facility or in breach of our agreements with the noncontrolling stockholders.

We also have a Second Lien Credit and Guaranty Agreement with a syndicate of commercial lenders, which provides us with a commitment for an additional €165.0 million European term loan (the “European Second Lien Term Loan”).

Subordinated Note Payable

In connection with the acquisition of HPI in December 2008, we issued a subordinated note payable with a principal amount of £11.3 million ($17.0 million at June 30, 2010). The note accrues interest at 8.0% per annum, payable annually, and becomes due and payable in full on December 31, 2011, subject to certain acceleration events.

 

10. Share-Based Compensation

During fiscal year 2010, we granted stock options and restricted stock units to our employees and members of our board of directors under our 2008 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”), which was approved by our stockholders in November 2008. Stock options are granted at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, generally vest ratably over four years and have a term of 7 years. Restricted stock unit grants generally vest ratably over four years. Upon stockholder approval of the 2008 Plan, we ceased granting awards under the 2007 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) and the remaining shares available for grant under the 2007 Plan were added to the shares authorized for grant under the 2008 Plan. Additionally, any awards previously granted under the 2007 Plan that expire unexercised or are forfeited are added to the shares authorized for grant under the 2008 Plan. At June 30, 2010, 10.9 million shares remain available for future grant of awards under the 2008 Plan.


We also have an employee stock purchase plan (“the ESPP”) that allows eligible employees to purchase shares of common stock at a price equal to 95% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning or end of each six-month offering period. We have reserved for issuance 1.5 million shares of our common stock under the ESPP. During fiscal years 2010 and 2009, we issued approximately 16,000 and 23,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock under the ESPP. At June 30, 2010, approximately 1.4 million shares remain available for future grant of awards under the ESPP.

In November 2006, we adopted the 2006 Securities Purchase Plan, under which and pursuant to securities purchase agreements, 24 employees purchased common equity interests that were converted into approximately 740,000 shares of our common stock. The shares of stock held by these employees remains subject to vesting over a five-year period, and unvested shares remain, under certain circumstances, subject to repurchase by us or by affiliates of GTCR Golder Rauner II, LLC. No additional equity will be issued under this plan.

Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $6.9 million during fiscal year 2010. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during fiscal years 2010 and 2009 totaled $4.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during fiscal year 2008 was not significant.


Valuation of Share-Based Awards

We utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating the grant date fair value of stock options with the following assumptions:

 

     Risk-Free
Interest Rate
    Expected Term
(in years)
     Weighted Average
Expected Stock
Price Volatility
    Expected
Dividend Yield
    Weighted Average
Per Share Grant
Date Fair Value
 

Fiscal year 2010

     2.2     4.7         30     0.9   $ 8.22   

Fiscal year 2009

     3.2     6.1         27     —        $ 7.92   

Fiscal year 2008

     3.2     6.1         27     —        $ 9.03   

We based the risk-free interest rates on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury constant maturities in effect at the time of the grant with remaining terms equivalent to the respective expected terms of the options. Because we have a limited history of stock option exercises, we calculated the expected award life as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period. We determined the expected volatility based on a combination of implied market volatilities, our historical stock price volatility and other factors. The dividend yield is based on our quarterly dividend of $0.0625 per share declared and paid during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

We based the fair value of restricted common shares subject to repurchase and restricted stock units on the market price of our common stock on the date of grant which approximates the intrinsic value.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, was $9.6 million, $6.7 million and $4.8 million for fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At June 30, 2010, the estimated total remaining unamortized share-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, was $19.5 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

 

11. Employee Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

Our foreign subsidiaries sponsor various defined benefit pension plans and individual defined benefit arrangements covering certain eligible employees. The benefits under these pension plans are based on years of service and compensation levels. Funding is limited to statutory requirements. The measurement date for all plans is June 30 of each fiscal year.

Rate of compensation increase

     2.15        2.16        2.02   

We base the discount rate upon published rates for high quality fixed income investments that produce cash flows that approximate the timing and amount of expected future benefit payments. We determine the weighted-average long-term expected rate of return on assets based on historical and expected future rates of return on plan assets considering the target asset mix and the long-term investment strategy.

The plan assets of the pension plans are the liability of insurance companies and benefit payments are fully insured. The insurance companies invest the plan assets in accordance with the terms of the insurance companies’ guidelines and we have no control over the investment decisions made by the insurance companies.

Defined Contribution Retirement and Savings Plans

We have a qualifying 401(k) defined contribution plan that covers most of our domestic employees and provides matching contributions under various formulas. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we incurred $1.2 million, $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in costs related to the 401(k) plan Company matching contributions.

Our foreign subsidiaries have defined contribution plans that cover certain international employees and provide matching contributions under various formulas. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we incurred $4.4 million, $3.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively, in costs related to our foreign defined contribution plans Company matching contributions.

 

12. Related Party Transactions

Certain noncontrolling stockholders of our international subsidiaries are also commercial purchasers and users of our software and services. Revenue transactions with all of the individual noncontrolling stockholders in the aggregate represent less than 10% of consolidated revenue for fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively, and aggregate accounts receivable from the noncontrolling stockholders represent less than 10% of consolidated accounts receivable at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The corresponding amounts for fiscal year 2008 were less than 5%.

The U.S. federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards begin to expire in 2026. The foreign tax credit carryforwards begin to expire in 2016.

Utilization of our U.S. federal and certain state net operating loss and tax credit carryovers may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such an annual limitation could result in the expiration of the net operating loss carry-forwards before utilization.

We have recorded valuation allowances for deferred tax assets of $68.7 million and $51.2 million at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Depending upon future circumstances, if the valuation allowance is fully realized, up to $4.7 million could increase accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the remainder will reduce income tax expense.

The increase in the valuation allowance during fiscal year 2010 is primarily attributed to operating results, a material amount of originating U.S. foreign tax credits and certain intercompany distribution activities. We establish and maintain valuation allowances for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized as an income tax benefit. We have considered the following possible sources of taxable income when assessing whether our deferred tax assets will be realized as an income tax benefit(s): (1) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; (2) taxable income in prior carryback years; (3) tax planning strategies; and (4) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforward.

It is difficult to rely on future taxable income as an indicator that a valuation allowance is not required when there is negative evidence, as is the case with our company, that a company has had cumulative losses in recent years. We accord significant weight to the existence of cumulative losses in recent years when assessing the evidence as to whether a valuation allowance is needed. We considered income forecasts in conjunction with other positive and negative evidence, including our current financial performance and our ongoing debt service costs pursuant to our senior secured credit facility. As a result, we determined that there was not sufficient positive evidence for us to conclude that it was “more-likely-than-not” that these deferred tax assets would be realized as an income tax benefit(s). Therefore, we have provided a full valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred tax assets. We will undertake this assessment of our deferred tax assets in future periods.

Our results of operations may be impacted in the future by our inability to realize a tax benefit for future tax losses or for items that generate additional deferred tax assets. Our results of operations might be favorably impacted in the future by reversals of valuation allowances if we are able to demonstrate sufficient positive evidence that our deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized as an income tax benefit(s).


We consider the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as of June 30, 2010 to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no U.S. income taxes have been provided thereon. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, we completed a one-time, non-recurring distribution of foreign earnings of approximately $24.5 million to the U.S. This distribution did not result in a U.S. federal income tax liability. Except for this distribution, we intend to continue to indefinitely reinvest our remaining undistributed foreign earnings. Our undistributed earnings in significant jurisdictions are approximately $366.0 million as of June 30, 2010. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, we could be subject to both U.S. income taxes and withholding taxes payable to various foreign countries. It is currently not practicable to compute the residual taxes due on such earnings.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of total unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

 

     Fiscal Years Ended June 30,  
     2010     2009     2008  

Gross unrecognized tax benefits balance at beginning of period

   $ 7,821      $ 17,298      $ 8,387

Increase related to current year tax positions

     1,384        3,122        4,785

Gross unrecognized tax benefits balance at end of period

   $ 5,611        7,821        17,298   
                        

We believe the amount of unrecognized tax benefits expected to be recognized in the next twelve months is not significant. Of the unrecognized tax benefits reflected above, we expected $10.8 million, $2.6 million, and $5.6 million to impact the effective tax rate for fiscal years 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

We file U.S. federal income tax returns as well as income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreements, the sellers in our business combinations have indemnified us for all tax liabilities related to the pre-acquisition periods. We are liable for any tax assessments for the post-acquisition periods for our U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.

We recognize interest accrued and penalties, if incurred, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. We had approximately $0.5 million and $0.3 million of accrued interest expense related to the unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal years 2009 and 2010. There was no accrued interest expense related to the unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal year 2008.

We are subject to taxation in various jurisdictions and as such under examination by certain tax authorities. The material jurisdictions that are subject to examination by tax authorities primarily include the United States, France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, covering tax years 2005 through 2010.

Subsequent to the issuance of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, we discovered that, in connection with our determination of the valuation allowance to be provided against our Dutch fiscal unity tax group’s deferred tax assets, we did not consider the future reversal of our Dutch fiscal unity tax group’s deferred tax liabilities as a source of income. As a result, the valuation allowance provided against the deferred tax assets of our Dutch fiscal unity tax group was overstated. Accordingly, as described below, certain previously reported amounts included in our consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the correction of this error. We believe the effects of this error are not material to our previously issued consolidated financial statements. Our conclusion that the error was not material included an evaluation of both quantitative and qualitative factors as well as the guidance provided by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality, and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.

14. CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases and Other Contractual Commitments

We lease office space and equipment under various operating and capital leases, and sublease certain excess office space. Additionally, we have contractual obligations under software license agreements and other purchase commitments. Total expense incurred under these agreements was approximately $16.4 million, $14.1 million and $14.5 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Sublease income recognized for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $1.3 million, $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Obligations under capital leases totaled $3.4 million and $2.6 million at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In addition to fixed rentals, certain leases require payment of maintenance and real estate taxes and contain escalation provisions based on future adjustments in price indices.


Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we are subject to various claims, charges and litigation. In particular, we have been the subject of allegations that our repair estimating and total loss software and services produced results that favored our insurance company customers, one of which is the subject of pending litigation. In addition, we are subject to assertions by our customers and strategic partners that we have not complied with the terms of our agreements with them or our agreements with them are not enforceable, some of which are the subject of pending litigation. We have and will continue to vigorously defend ourselves against these claims. We believe that final judgments, if any, which may be rendered against us in current litigation, are adequately reserved for, covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

Guarantees

We have irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed the subordinated note payable issued in the acquisition of HPI (Note 9). Additionally, in the normal course of business, we enter into contracts in which we makes representations and warranties that guarantee the performance of our products and services. Losses related to such guarantees were not significant during any of the periods presented.

 

15. Segment and Geographic Information

Segment Information

We have aggregated our operating segments into the following two reportable segments: EMEA and Americas. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, we announced the creation of the Highly Established Market Initiatives Region (“HEMI Region”), which aligns our operations in the United States, Canada and the Netherlands. Each country in the HEMI Region represents a large, well-established market, and the alignment of these three markets will enable them to better leverage their collective resources and cross-pollinate products and services in order to grow the region.

As a result of the creation of the HEMI Region, we transferred our Netherlands operating segment from our EMEA reportable segment to our Americas reportable segment. Accordingly, our EMEA segment consists of our operations in Europe (excluding the Netherlands), the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia. The Americas business unit encompasses our operations in North, Central and South America as well as the Netherlands. The segment information presented below reflects the inclusion of our Netherlands operating segment in our Americas reportable segment for all periods.

Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer. We evaluate the performance of our reportable segments based on revenues and adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income excluding interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, asset impairments and other costs associated with exit or disposal activities, other (income) expense, and acquisition-related costs. We do not allocate certain costs, including costs related to our financing activities, business development and oversight, and tax, audit and other professional fees, to our reportable segments. Instead, we manage these costs at the Corporate level.

(1) The results of operations of AUTOonline, GTLDATA and Market Scan, acquired in fiscal year 2010, are included from the respective dates of the acquisitions, which are not the first day of the applicable fiscal year.
(2) Our business is subject to seasonal and other fluctuations. In particular, we have historically experienced higher revenues during the second quarter and third quarter versus the first quarter and fourth quarter during each fiscal year. This seasonality is caused primarily by more days of inclement weather during the second quarter and third quarter in most of our markets, which contributes to a greater number of vehicle accidents and damage during these periods. In addition, our business is subject to fluctuations caused by other factors, including the occurrence of extraordinary weather events and the timing of certain public holidays. For example, the Easter holiday occurs during the third quarter in certain fiscal years and occurs during the fourth quarter in other fiscal years, resulting in a change in the number of business days during the quarter in which the holiday occurs.
(3) The results of operations of HPI, UCS and Inpart, acquired in fiscal year 2009, are included from the respective dates of the acquisitions, which are not the first day of the applicable fiscal year.
(4) The results of operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 reflect the correction of an immaterial error which is described in Note 13.
