NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2011 AND 2010

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of iGATE Corporation (“iGATE” or the “Company”) have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The accompanying balance sheet and financial information as of December 31, 2010 is derived from audited financial statements but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of a Majority Stake in Patni Computer Systems Limited

On January 10, 2011, two of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Pan-Asia iGATE Solutions, a company incorporated under the laws of Mauritius (“iGATE Mauritius”), and iGATE Global Solutions Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of India (“iGS” and, together with iGATE Mauritius, the “Purchasers”) entered into certain definitive agreements to acquire a majority stake in Patni Computer Systems Limited (the “Patni Acquisition”).

The Patni Acquisition involves acquiring 60.1 million shares or 45.6% of the outstanding share capital from the promoters of Patni Computer Systems Limited (“Patni”) (43.6% of the outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis) and 22.9 million shares (inclusive of the American Depositary Shares representing 20.2 million shares) or 17.4% of the outstanding share capital of Patni from General Atlantic Mauritius Limited (16.6% of the outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis). In accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeover) Regulations, 1997, as amended, and a tender offer pursuant to the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Purchasers made a mandatory open public offer on April 8, 2011 to the other shareholders of Patni to purchase up to an additional 20.6% of the outstanding shares of Patni (20% of the outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis). The mandatory open offer closed on April 27, 2011 and was fully subscribed.

The Patni Acquisition is valued at approximately $1.22 billion. The Patni Acquisition is expected to be completed on or about May 12, 2011. The Patni Acquisition is subject to several conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals (or termination of applicable waiting periods).

Post announcement of the acquisition, the Company has obtained clearance on January 24, 2011 under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and also obtained clearance on January 28, 2011 from the Irish Competition Authority. The Company has also applied for regulatory clearances from the Austrian Federal Competition Authority, Brazilian Cade, SEAE and SDE. The Company received approval from the Securities Exchange Board of India on March 25, 2011.

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

3. Series B Preferred Stock

On January 10, 2011, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, with Viscaria Limited, a company backed by funds advised by Apax Partners LLP and Apax Partners, L.P., to raise equity financing to pay a portion of the cash consideration for the Patni Acquisition. Under the securities purchase agreement, the Company agreed to sell to Viscaria Limited, in a private placement, up to 480,000 shares of newly designated 8.00% Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of up to $480 million. On February 1, 2011, the Company issued 210,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Viscaria Limited for a consideration of $210 million.

The salient terms of the Series B Preferred Stock are as follows:

 

   

accrues cumulative dividends at a rate of 8.00% per annum, which dividends will be added to the liquidation preference of the Series B Preferred Stock and compounded quarterly;

 

   

is entitled to participate in dividends and other distributions payable on the Company’s common stock on an as-converted basis;

 

   

provides for a holder option to convert the outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid dividends into the Company’s common stock at any time and from time to time at an initial conversion price of $20.30 per share (which conversion price is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances);

 

   

is subject to a Company option to convert the Series B Preferred Stock into common stock of the Company after 18 months from the applicable closing date if, among other things, the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 205% of the then applicable conversion price for a specified period of time;

 

   

is redeemable for cash at an amount equal to the outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid dividends upon the exercise of the holder’s put right at six years from the last occurring closing date;

Table of Contents

iGATE CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2011 AND 2010

 

   

provides that, if the Series B Preferred Stock is not sooner converted, such preferred stock is subject to a mandatory conversion into shares of the Company’s common stock on the date that is six years from the applicable closing date (subject to extension in limited circumstances) unless the holder exercises the put right described in the immediately preceding bullet point; and

 

   

provides the holder the right to receive, prior to any payment in respect of any junior equity securities, the greater of the outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid dividends and the as-converted value upon liquidation of the Company or upon certain changes of control.

The Company incurred issuance costs amounting to $0.7 million which have been netted against the proceeds received from the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is being accreted over a period of six years. The amount accreted during the three months ended March 31, 2011 totaled $0.02 million.

The Company is accruing for cumulative dividends at a rate of 8.00% per annum, compounded quarterly. The amount of such dividend accrued during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $2.7 million.

 

4. Line of credit

On February 21, 2011, the Company entered into an arrangement with a bank for availing an unsecured revolving working credit facility of $70 million at an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 195 basis points, renewable on an annual basis. In the current quarter, the Company borrowed $30 million of the line of credit at an interest rate of 2.41%.

 

5. Income tax

The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state and foreign income taxes. The Company operates in an international environment with significant operations in various locations outside the U.S. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in various locations and the applicable tax rates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as India, Canada and the United States.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company’s effective tax rate is 33.1%.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the difference between the Company’s recorded provision arrived at based on an effective tax rate of 1.7% and the provision that would result from applying the U.S. statutory rate of 34.0% is primarily attributable to:

 

  a) Tax holiday in India that expired in 2011.

 

  b) Tax benefit on net operating loss.

 

  c) Losses generated in the U.S. branch operation of the Indian entity.

Under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, the Company’s Indian subsidiary is eligible to claim a tax holiday for 10 consecutive assessment years on profits derived from the export of software services from divisions registered under the Software Technology Parks at Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Noida. For the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the tax holiday resulted in income tax benefits of $0.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, when calculated at the statutory US rate. The tax holiday expired on March 31, 2011.

In 2009, iGS set up units in Chennai and Hyderabad Special Economic Zone (“SEZ”). Under the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, iGS is eligible to claim income tax holiday of 100% for the initial five consecutive assessment years followed by 50% for the subsequent ten consecutive assessment years on the profits derived from the export of software services from the divisions registered under the SEZ. For the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the tax holiday resulted in income tax benefits of $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, when calculated at the statutory US rate.

6. Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per share” and ASC Topic 260-10-45 “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities”. Basic earnings per share for different classes of stock (common stock, unvested restricted stock and the Series B Preferred Stock) is calculated by dividing net income available to each class by the weighted average number of shares of each class. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock, unvested restricted stock plus the potentially dilutive effect of common stock and Series B Preferred Stock equivalents.

Earnings per share for the common stock, unvested restricted stock and Series B Preferred Stock under the two class method are presented below (dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data):

9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

As part of the Company’s on-going business operations, certain assets and forecasted transactions are exposed to foreign currency risks due to fluctuations in exchange rates between the Rupee, CAD and USD. The objective for holding derivatives is to eliminate or reduce the impact of these exposures.

The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on inter-company transactions and forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Contracts are designated as cash flow hedges if they satisfy the criteria for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss of hedging instruments is recognized in the earnings of each period. The Company also entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on payments related to the Patni Acquisition. These contracts do not satisfy the criteria for hedge accounting. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the unrealized gain on these contracts amounting to $14.3 million was recognized in earnings.

The Company documents all relationships between hedging instruments, including the risk management objectives and strategy for each hedge transaction. In addition, formal assessment is done for effectiveness testing both at the inception of the hedge and on a quarterly basis. If it is determined that a derivative or a portion thereof is not highly effective as a hedge, or if a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, the Company will prospectively discontinue hedge accounting with respect to that derivative.

In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative is retained, the derivative is continued to be carried at its fair value on the balance sheet and any subsequent change in its fair value is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

The option contracts as of March 31, 2011 will all mature by March 27, 2012. As each contract matures, the Company will sell USDs and CADs at each contracted strike price depending upon prevailing Rupee exchange rates. The outstanding contracts meet the qualifying criteria to receive hedge accounting and have been deemed to be effective. As a result, the Company has recorded accumulated other comprehensive gain of $0.51 million and $0.77 million as on March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The unamortized premium on options amounted to $0.01 million and $0.02 million as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and it is disclosed as a derivative asset as of March 31, 2011 and December, 31, 2010, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet.

The estimated net amount of existing gains as of March 31, 2011 that is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings within the next 12 months is $0.51 million.

10. Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements” establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

In accordance with ASC 820, assets and liabilities are to be measured based on the following valuation techniques:

Market approach – Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Income approach – Converting the future amounts based on the market expectations to its present value using the discounting methodology.

Cost approach – Replacement cost method.

The Company uses the market approach for measuring the fair value of the assets and liabilities. Cash equivalents, short term investments comprising of money market mutual funds and foreign currency derivative contracts are measured at fair value. The cash equivalents and money market mutual funds are valued using quoted market prices and classified within Level 1. The foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments in active markets.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are summarized below (in thousands):

The Company has entered into a service agreement with a customer that provides such customer the option, exercisable at any time by providing 60 days’ notice to the Company to acquire an equity stake of up to 7% of the Company’s outstanding voting shares at fair market value. The fair market value is the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s shares on the NASDAQ Market for five consecutive trading days immediately before the date on which the customer delivers its notice under the option. The option does not restrict the customer in any way from buying the Company’s shares in the open market. The service agreement also requires the Company to register the shares upon exercise of the option by the customer and there are no events or circumstances that would require the Company to transfer consideration under the agreement.

Contingencies

As of March 31, 2011, iGS has open tax demands amounting to $0.6 million including interest of $0.09 million issued by the Income tax department pertaining to assessment years 2004-05 and 2006-07 disallowing the tax benefits under section 10A of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961. iGS has appealed with the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) (“CIT Appeals”) and Income tax Appellate Tribunal (“ITAT”). Pending the disposal of the appeals, the entire demand has been paid by the Company and recorded as advance payment of income taxes. During the current quarter, iGS has received the final assessment order with a demand of $2.4 million including interest of $0.7 million issued by the Income tax department pertaining to the assessment year 2007-08 disallowing tax benefits under section 10A of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, transfer pricing adjustment for the interest on loans to its subsidiary. iGS has filed an appeal with the CIT Appeals. iGS has obtained stay for payment of 50% of the demand amount and the remaining 50% has been paid by the Company and recorded as advance payment of income taxes.

Based on management’s assessment of the tax demands received by iGS and on advice of its counsel, the Company believes that it is not probable that a loss will result from the above tax demands.

As of March 31, 2011, CIT (Appeals) and ITAT allowed the tax benefits claimed under section 10A of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, made by iGS amounting to $1.17 million pertaining to the demand issued by the Income tax department for the assessment years 2001-02, 2002-03 and 2003-04. The tax department has appealed this matter to the High Court.

In accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeover) Regulations, 1997, as amended, and a tender offer pursuant to the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, on April 8, 2011, the Purchasers made a mandatory open public offer to the other shareholders of Patni to purchase up to an additional 20.6% of the outstanding shares of Patni (20% of the outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis). The mandatory open offer closed on April 27, 2011 and was fully subscribed.

On April 29, 2011, the Company issued $770 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.0% Senior Notes (the “Notes”) due 2016, the proceeds of which will be used to finance the Patni Acquisition. Net proceeds from the sale of Notes were $738 million after reducing commitment, placement and other financing and professional fees. The Notes require semi-annual interest payments on May 1 and November 1. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”), jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic (USA) subsidiaries. The Notes and the Guarantees are ranked senior in right of payment to all the Company’s and the guarantors’ subordinated indebtedness and equal in right of payment with any of the Company’s and the guarantors’ other senior unsecured indebtedness. The Notes will mature on May 1, 2016 and the entire principal amount will be paid at maturity. The Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part on and after May 1, 2014 at the redemption prices specified in the indenture governing the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The Company may also redeem the Notes in whole or in part prior to May 1, 2014 by paying a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. In addition, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the Notes before May 1, 2014 with the proceeds of certain equity offerings.

18. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13 “Revenue recognition—Multiple deliverable revenue arrangements”. The ASU provides amendments to the criteria in “Revenue recognition—multiple element arrangements” for separating consideration in multiple element arrangements. The amendments in this ASU establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. Further, the term fair value in the revenue guidance will be replaced with selling price to clarify that the allocation of revenue is based on entity-specific assumptions rather than assumptions of a market place participant. The amendments in this ASU will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position and results as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of a Majority Stake in Patni Computer Systems Limited

On January 10, 2011, two of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Pan-Asia iGATE Solutions, a company incorporated under the laws of Mauritius (“iGATE Mauritius”), and iGATE Global Solutions Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of India (“iGS” and, together with iGATE Mauritius, the “Purchasers”) entered into certain definitive agreements to acquire a majority stake in Patni Computer Systems Limited (the “Patni Acquisition”).

The Patni Acquisition involves acquiring 60.1 million shares or 45.6% of the outstanding share capital from the promoters of Patni Computer Systems Limited (“Patni”) (43.6% of the outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis) and 22.9 million shares (inclusive of the American Depositary Shares representing 20.2 million shares) or 17.4% of the outstanding share capital from General Atlantic Mauritius Limited (16.6% of the outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis) from General Atlantic Mauritius Limited. In accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeover) Regulations, 1997, as amended, and a tender offer pursuant to the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Purchasers made a mandatory open public offer on April 8, 2011 to the other shareholders of Patni to purchase up to an additional 20.6% of the outstanding shares of Patni (20% of the outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis). The mandatory open offer closed on April 27, 2011 and was fully subscribed.

The Patni Acquisition is valued at approximately $1.22 billion. The Patni Acquisition is expected to be completed on or about May 12, 2011. The Patni Acquisition is subject to several conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals (or termination of applicable waiting periods).

Post announcement of the acquisition, the Company has obtained clearance on January 24, 2011 under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and also obtained clearance on January 28, 2011 from the Irish Competition Authority. The Company has also applied for regulatory clearances from the Austrian Federal Competition Authority, Brazilian Cade, SEAE and SDE. The Company received approval from the Securities Exchange Board of India on March 25, 2011.

On January 10, 2011, we also entered into a securities purchase agreement, with Viscaria Limited, a company backed by funds advised by Apax Partners LLP and Apax Partners, L.P., to raise equity financing to fund a portion of the cash consideration required to consummate the Patni Acquisition. Under the securities purchase agreement, we agreed to sell to Viscaria Limited, in a private placement, up to 480,000 shares of newly designated 8.00% Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), for up to an aggregate purchase price of $480 million. Pursuant to the terms of such securities purchase agreement, the purchase of the Series B Preferred Stock occurs at two separate closings. On February 1, 2011, (the first closing date), Viscaria Limited purchased 210,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $210 million ($209.3 million net of issuance costs).

On April 29, 2011, the Company issued $770 million aggregate principal amount of 9.0% Senior Notes due 2016 (“Notes”) in a private placement for financing part of the Patni Acquisition. Net proceeds from the sale of Notes were $738 million after reducing commitment, placement and other financing and professional fees. The Notes require semi-annual interest payments on May 1 and November 1. The Notes will mature on May 1, 2016 and the entire principal amount will be paid at maturity.

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased by 30.9%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our revenue increase for the periods presented is directly attributable to a combination of increased business with our recurring customers, favorable movement in currency markets and new customer wins. There was an increase in average billable headcount from 6,705 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 7,728 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Revenues increased due to increased volume by 18.2%, increased average blended realization rate by 9.3% and favorable movement in currency markets by 3.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our top five customers accounted for 73.3% and 72.7% of the revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The gross margin as a percentage of revenues (“gross margin percentage”) was 40.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to 40.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The marginal difference in the gross margin percentage is due to the favorable movement of the US Dollar against other currencies.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“S,G&A”) include all costs that are not directly associated with revenue generating activities. S,G&A expenses include employee costs, corporate costs and facilities costs. Employee costs include administrative salaries and related employee benefits, travel, recruiting and training costs. Corporate costs include costs such as legal, accounting and outside consulting fees. Facilities costs primarily include rent and communications costs.

S,G&A costs for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were 28.7% of revenues, as compared to 17.3% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Our net employee costs increased by approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, mainly due to an increase in salaries, performance bonus and benefits of $0.8 million and travel related expenses of $0.4 million. Our net corporate costs increased by $10.0 million mainly due to expenses associated with the Patni Acquisition of $7.8 million, lease termination costs $0.5 million and SAP software write off charges of $1.5 million. Our net facilities costs increased by $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, mainly due to increase in rental, maintenance and communication related expenses.

Depreciation and amortization cost for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were 3.0% of revenue, as compared to 3.8% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 representing an increase of $0.1 million.

Operating income percentage was 9.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to 19.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in operating income percentage was mainly due to onetime expenses associated with the Patni Acquisition amounting to $7.8 or 10.3% or revenues recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Foreign exchange gain/(loss), net

In connection with the investments in Patni, in January 2011 iGATE Mauritius entered into flexible non-deliverable forward contracts USD/INR with Standard Chartered Bank (“SCB”) and The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (“HSBC”) for notional amounts totaling $760 million to sell USD and buy INR at the strike rate, with various settlement dates between February 7, 2011 to May 20, 2011 (both the days inclusive). Foreign exchange gain is primarily comprised of favorable foreign currency movement resulting in unrealized gain amounting to $14.3 million on these contracts which was partly offset by realized loss on settled contracts amounting to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

The Company also recognized favorable foreign currency movement resulting in the realized gain of $0.3 million on settlement of cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to loss of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2011, all of our outstanding option contracts designated as cash flow hedges met the qualifying criteria to receive hedge accounting.

We also recognized a favorable foreign currency gain of $4.6 million on remeasurement of escrow account balance for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $0.1 million of favorable foreign currency gain related to our intercompany debt in India as compared to an unfavorable foreign currency loss of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Other income

Our investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 totaled $1.1 million as compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in investment income is due to the profit on redemption of mutual fund units during the current quarter. We recognized gain on sale of fixed assets of $1.1 million and gain on sale of investment in affiliate of $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010

 

22


Table of Contents

Our effective tax rate was 33.1% and 1.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in effective tax rate is mainly due to the expiry of the tax holiday on our foreign earnings in March 2011.

Preferred dividend

On February 1, 2011, pursuant to the securities purchase agreement with Viscaria Limited dated January 10, 2011, the Company issued 210,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Viscaria Limited for a consideration of $210 million. We have accrued for cumulative dividends of $2.7 million at a rate of 8.00% per annum, compounded quarterly for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash from Operations

Cash provided by operations was $3.9 million and $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cash provided by operations has historically been our significant source of liquidity.

Cash collected from the customers is $66.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $51.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Payments made to the vendors for operating activities are $63.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $47.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The collections and payments have increased in 2011 as compared to 2010 due to the increased operations.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities was $31.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the cash used in investing activities of $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we incurred capital expenditures of $4.2 million as compared $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, we sold an office building located in Bangalore, India for a consideration of $2.8 million.

Our investment portfolio and other investments decreased by $35.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to an increase of $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in investments during the current period was due to liquidating our portfolio in anticipation of the Patni Acquisition.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $239.1 million, as compared to cash used in financing activities of $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. On February, 1, 2011, we issued Series B Preferred Stock amounting to $210 million and the proceeds from such issuance (net of issuance costs of $0.7 million) of $209.3 million will be used to finance the Patni Acquisition. On February 21, 2011, we entered into an arrangement with a bank for availing an unsecured revolving working credit facility of $70 million at an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 195 basis points, renewable on an annual basis. In the current quarter, the Company borrowed $30.0 million of the line of credit at an interest rate of 2.41%. Dividends paid amounted to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and no dividends were paid during the current period, as the Board of Directors decided to retain the 2010 profits for funding the Patni Acquisition. The net proceeds from exercise of employee stock options were $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2011 were $380.3 million as compared to $139.8 million as of December 31, 2010. The Company believes that cash generated from operations along with the unutilized line of credit arrangement will be adequate to meet the Company’s reasonably foreseeable operating liquidity requirements.

Recent events impacting future cash flows

On January 10, 2011, the Purchasers entered into definitive agreements in connection with Patni Acquisition. The Patni Acquisition involves acquiring 60.1 million shares or 45.6% of the outstanding share capital from the promoters of Patni (43.6% of the outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis) and 22.9 million shares (inclusive of the American Depositary Shares of 20.2 million shares) or 17.4% of the outstanding share capital (16.6% of the outstanding share capital on a fully diluted basis) from General Atlantic Mauritius Limited.

Seasonality

Our operations are generally not affected by seasonal fluctuations. However, our consultants’ billable hours are affected by national holidays and vacation policies, which vary by country and by operating company.

Economic Trends and Outlook

According to Gartner Inc., an IT research and advisory company, the IT Services industry worldwide IT spending is forecasted to total $824.4 billion in 2011, a 5.0 % increase from 2010 revenue of nearly $784.9 billion.

The global economic recovery continues and modest growth in IT spending is expected. The potential for event-driven shocks such as the recent events occurred in Japan may impact the IT spending. The industry is aggressively pursuing innovations that it expects to stimulate demand beyond such modest growth. Besides the organic growth, the industry players are also aggressively pursuing mergers and acquisitions to stimulate growth. We believe that our business model is somewhat diversified, both geographically and operationally—we serve both IT and IT enabled solutions. We believe our strategy of a global delivery model and the Patni Acquisition positions us well to provide a greater breadth of services in catering to market needs and opportunities.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Company management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b). Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. The results of management’s assessment were reviewed with the Company’s Audit Committee.

The certification required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are filed as exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, respectively, to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors are added to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Risks Relating to Our 9% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Notes”) and Other Indebtedness

Our substantial indebtedness could materially adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the Notes.

Our substantial amount of indebtedness could have important consequences. For example, it could:

 

 

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the Notes;

 

 

limit our ability to borrow additional funds, or to sell assets to raise funds, if needed, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes;

 

 

increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions;

 

 

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing funds available for operations, future business opportunities or other purposes, such as funding our working capital and capital expenditures;

 

 

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the business and industry in which we operate;

 

 

limit our ability to service our indebtedness;

 

 

place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to any less leveraged competitors; and

 

 

prevent us from raising the funds necessary to repurchase all Notes tendered to us upon the occurrence of certain changes of control, which failure to repurchase would constitute a default under the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”).

The occurrence of any one of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations, prospects or ability to satisfy our obligations under the Notes.

Despite the level of our indebtedness, we may still incur significantly more indebtedness. This could further increase the risks associated with our indebtedness.

Despite our current level of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur significant additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness, in the future. Although the terms of the agreements governing our outstanding debt place restrictions on our and our subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and, under certain circumstances, the indebtedness incurred in compliance with such restrictions could be substantial. If new indebtedness is added to our and our subsidiaries’ debt levels, the related risks that we and they face would be increased, and we may not be able to meet all of our debt obligations, including repayment of the Notes, in whole or in part.

The agreements governing our outstanding debt contain various covenants limiting the discretion of our management in operating our business and could prevent us from capitalizing on business opportunities and taking some corporate actions.

The agreements governing our outstanding debt, including the Indenture, impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions will limit or restrict, among other things, our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:

 

 

incur additional indebtedness;

 

 

make restricted payments (including paying dividends on, redeeming, repurchasing or retiring our capital stock);

 

 

make investments;

 

 

create liens;

 

 

sell assets;

 

 

enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends, make loans or transfer assets to us;

 

 

engage in transactions with affiliates; and

 

 

consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

 

27


Table of Contents

These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications. In addition, the agreements governing our outstanding debt require us, under certain circumstances, to maintain compliance with a financial covenant. Our ability to comply with this covenant may be affected by events beyond our control.

A breach of any of the covenants contained in these agreements, including our inability to comply with the financial covenants, could result in an event of default thereunder, which would allow the lenders to declare all borrowings outstanding to be due and payable, which would in turn trigger an event of default under the Indenture and, potentially, our other indebtedness. At maturity or in the event of an acceleration of payment obligations, we would likely be unable to pay our outstanding indebtedness with our cash and cash equivalents then on hand. We would, therefore, be required to seek alternative sources of funding, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, terms as favorable as our current agreements or at all, or face bankruptcy. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness or find alternative means of financing our operations, we may be required to curtail our operations or take other actions that are inconsistent with our current business practices or strategy.

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to finance a change of control offer if required by the Indenture or the terms of our other indebtedness; certain important corporate events may not constitute a change of control.

Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, we will be required to offer to purchase all outstanding Notes and other outstanding debt. A change of control event under the Indenture could also constitute a change of control under our other outstanding debt, which could result in the acceleration of such outstanding debt. Any of our future debt agreements may contain similar restrictions and provisions. If a change of control were to occur, we cannot assure you that we would have sufficient funds to pay the purchase price for all the Notes tendered by the holders or such other indebtedness and under the Indenture and other agreements governing our outstanding debt we may not be permitted to repurchase such other indebtedness, which could result in an event of default under such indebtedness.

Moreover, under the Indenture, certain important corporate events, such as leveraged recapitalizations that would increase the level of our indebtedness, would not constitute a “change of control” and thus would not give rise to any repurchase obligations.

The trading prices for the Notes will be directly affected by many factors, including our credit ratings, many of which are beyond our and our management’s control.

Credit rating agencies continually revise their ratings for companies they follow, including us. Any ratings downgrade could adversely affect the trading price of the Notes, or the trading market for the Notes, to the extent a trading market for the Notes develops. The condition of the financial and credit markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future and any fluctuation may impact the trading price of the Notes.

The trading price of the Notes may be volatile.

Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the Notes. We cannot assure you that any such disruptions may not adversely affect the prices at which you may sell your Notes. The Notes may trade, if at all, at a discount from the initial offering price of the Notes, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar Notes, our performance and other factors, many of which are beyond our and our management’s control.

A lowering or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to our debt securities by rating agencies may increase our future borrowing costs and reduce our access to capital.

Our debt currently has a non-investment grade rating, and there can be no assurances that any rating assigned will remain for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency if, in that rating agency’s judgment, future circumstances relating to the basis of the rating, such as adverse changes, so warrant. A lowering or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to our debt securities by rating agencies may increase our future borrowing costs and reduce our access to capital, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
