Outlook to Investors
CEO McCracken Maintains Management is Key to Enabling Era of Composite
Business Services
Business Services
Reaffirms Outlook for Fiscal Year 2012
ISLANDIA, N.Y., July 29, 2011 CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) Chief Executive Officer Bill
McCracken and members of his senior management team are presenting the Companys market and
technology strategy, and multi-year financial outlook during its 2011 Investor Day being held today
in New York City.
At the session attended by more than 140 buy-side and sell-side analysts, McCracken and CA
Technologies senior managers are discussing the Company strategy to leverage its leadership in
mainframe and enterprise management solutions, and to build its capabilities in the hybrid cloud
management, Software as a Service (SaaS) and Service Providers markets. They are also discussing
how the Company will accelerate adoption of its solutions by customers in new and emerging markets.
Era of Composite Business Services
In opening the session, McCracken maintained that the industry is experiencing a convergence of
several key technologies and trends mobile devices, increased bandwidth, mobile applications,
corporate adoption of social media and location-based computing that are radically changing the
computing landscape.
These trends and technologies are rapidly expanding the boundaries of composite business services
that leading companies will come to rely on to sell products and services, interact with customers
in real time, and gather and share data, McCracken said.
The IT industry, he said, is leveraging cloud computing to enable organizations to source the best
componentsinternal, external, private cloud, public cloud, mobile and moreto construct the most
competitive business applications in days rather than months.
McCracken told investors that CA Technologies is focused on providing the management and security
software required by companies to take full advantage of this evolution.
With the adoption of Composite Business Services, the applications, which may be sourced from
multiple vendors, are becoming commoditized and the ability to quickly assemble the business
service in a managed and secure way is becoming the business value. This industry shift will
require, more than ever, what CA Technologies has done successfully for 35 years: manage and secure
the most complex IT environments, he said.
Outlook
The Companys three-year financial outlook beginning in fiscal year 2013 was disclosed including:
| Organic revenue growth in constant currency in mid-single digits; |
| Non-GAAP operating margin expanding 1 point per year; |
| Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share growth in constant currency in low double digits (CAGR); |
| Cash flow from operations growth in constant currency in the high single digits (CAGR); |
| A non-GAAP tax rate of between 28 percent to 30 percent; and, |
| Share repurchases and dividends of 40 percent to 50 percent of free cash flow. |
The Company also reaffirmed its fiscal year 2012 outlook issued on July 20, 2011.
Our three-year outlook represents our strategic, balanced approach to capital allocation to meet
our goal of increasing shareholder value, said Richard Beckert, CA Technologies chief financial
officer. We will make investments to growboth organically and through acquisitionsespecially
in the areas of hybrid cloud management, SaaS and MSPs, while increasing operating efficiency to
further invest in growth areas and drive operating margin expansion. We also are committed to
returning cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release refers to certain financial measures that exclude the impact of certain
items and therefore have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). Non-GAAP metrics for operating expenses, operating income, operating margin,
income from operations and diluted earnings per share exclude the following items: non-cash
amortization of purchased software and other intangibles, share-based compensation, pre-fiscal
year 2010 restructuring and certain other gains and losses, which includes recoveries and certain
costs associated with derivative litigation matters and includes the gains and losses since
inception of hedges that mature within the quarter, but exclude gains and losses of hedges that do
not mature within the quarter. Prior to fiscal year 2011, non-GAAP income also excludes the
interest on convertible bonds. The effective tax rate on GAAP and non-GAAP income from operations
is the Companys provision for income taxes expressed as a percentage of pre-tax GAAP and non-GAAP
income from operations, respectively. Such tax rates are determined based on an estimated
effective full year tax rate, with the effective tax rate for GAAP generally including the impact
of discrete items in the period such items arise and the effective tax rate for non-GAAP income
generally allocating the impact of discrete items pro rata to the fiscal years remaining reporting
periods. Non-GAAP adjusted cash flow excludes pre-fiscal 2010 restructuring and other payments.
Free cash flow excludes capital expenditures. We present constant currency information to provide a
framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign
currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period
results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S.
dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the last day of the Companys prior fiscal year.
Constant currency excludes the impacts from the Companys hedging program. These non-GAAP
financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures
of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. By excluding these items, non-GAAP
financial measures facilitate managements internal comparisons to the Companys historical
operating results and cash flows, to competitors operating results and cash flows, and to
estimates made by securities analysts. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures
internally to evaluate its performance and they are key variables in determining management
incentive compensation. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to
investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by management in
its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, the Company has historically reported
similar non-GAAP financial measures to its investors and believes that the inclusion of comparative
numbers provides consistency in its financial reporting. The
Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP metrics to their most directly
comparable GAAP metrics for periods not yet completed because the information is not available
without unreasonable effort.
