Virtusa Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(Unaudited)

 

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

(1) Nature of Business

 

Virtusa Corporation (the “Company” or “Virtusa”) is a global information technology services company. The Company uses an offshore delivery model to provide a broad range of information technology, or IT, services, including IT consulting, technology implementation and application outsourcing. Using its enhanced global delivery model, innovative platforming approach and industry expertise, the Company provides cost-effective services that enable its clients to accelerate time to market, improve service and enhance productivity. Headquartered in Massachusetts, Virtusa has offices in the United States, the United Kingdom, Hungary and the Netherlands, and global delivery centers in Hyderabad, Chennai and Bangalore, India and Colombo, Sri Lanka.

 

(2) Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Virtusa in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements (and notes thereto) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on May 27, 2010. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been included, and all material adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected to occur for the entire fiscal year. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, Virtusa (India) Private Limited, Virtusa Consulting Services, Private Limited and Virtusa Software Services, Private Limited, each organized and located in India; Virtusa (Private) Limited, organized and located in Sri Lanka; Virtusa UK Limited, organized and located in the United Kingdom; Virtusa Securities Corporation, a Massachusetts securities corporation; InSource Holdings, Inc. incorporated and located in Connecticut; InSource LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company located in Connecticut; Virtusa International, B.V., organized and located in the Netherlands; and Virtusa Hungary Kft., incorporated and located in Hungary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including the recoverability of tangible assets, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Management reevaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. The most significant estimates relate to the recognition of revenue and profits based on the percentage of completion method of accounting for fixed-price contracts, share-based compensation, income taxes, including reserves for uncertain tax positions, deferred taxes and eligibility to claim income tax holidays in India and Sri Lanka, as well as liabilities, intangible assets, contingent consideration and valuation of financial instruments including derivative contracts and investments. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The actual amounts may vary from the estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

At December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which included

Table of Contents

 

cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued employee compensation and benefits, contingent consideration and other accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the items. In addition, investment securities and derivative instruments are also financial instruments (see Note 6).

 

(3) Net Income per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, and diluted earnings per share is computed by including common stock equivalents outstanding for the period in the denominator. Unvested awards of share-based payments with non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities for purposes of calculating earnings per share. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share for the periods set forth below:

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, options to purchase 386,510 and 949,720 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, options to purchase 1,237,598 and 1,196,496 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

(4) Acquisitions

 

On November 4, 2009, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with InSource Holdings, Inc., a privately held Connecticut corporation (“InSource”) and its shareholders, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding stock of InSource and each of its subsidiaries (the “InSource Acquisition”). The Company completed the InSource Acquisition on November 4, 2009, and InSource is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The InSource Acquisition was consummated to expand Virtusa’s service offerings in the insurance and health care industries.

 

The InSource Acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for the InSource Acquisition was $7,250 in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments. Ten percent (10%), or $725, of the purchase price was subject to a holdback by the Company for a period of 12 months as security for the sellers’ indemnification obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement.  During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company released $710 to the InSource shareholders with respect to the holdback and retained $15 to satisfy certain indemnification obligations of the InSource shareholders, resulting in a decrease to short term restricted cash of $725 at December 31, 2010.

 

The purchase price was subject to adjustment after the closing for up to an additional $500 in earn-out consideration based on the achievement of certain revenue and operating margin targets for InSource’s calendar year and fourth quarter 2009. At December 31, 2009, the Company determined that InSource met 100% of the performance targets. The earn-out consideration was paid as of March 31, 2010. The purchase price was also subject to an adjustment that would reimburse the InSource sellers if their tax burden from a specified tax election made by the Company exceeds $120. Upon the closing of the InSource Acquisition, the Company estimated the fair value of the purchase price adjustment related to this tax election to be $208. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company and InSource sellers agreed upon a final purchase price adjustment of $164 and the resulting decrease in fair value of the purchase price adjustment of $44 was recorded to goodwill.

 

On February 1, 2010, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with ConVista Consulting LLC, a privately held Virginia limited liability corporation (“ConVista”), to acquire all of assets of ConVista (the “ConVista Acquisition”). The Company completed the ConVista Acquisition on February 1, 2010. The ConVista Acquisition was consummated to expand the Company’s enterprise service offerings.

Table of Contents

 

The ConVista Acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for the ConVista Acquisition was $24,846 in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments. Ten percent (10%), or $2,500, of the purchase price was subject to a holdback by the Company for a period of 12 months as security for the sellers’ indemnification obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company released the entire amount of the holdback plus interest to the ConVista sellers, resulting in a decrease to short-term restricted cash of $2,509.

 

The purchase price was subject to adjustment after the closing for up to an additional $2,000 in earn-out consideration based on the achievement of certain revenue and operating margin targets for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration upon the closing of the ConVista Acquisition based on the probability of ConVista attaining the specified performance targets and assigned a fair value of $1,620 to the purchase price. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2010, the present value of the contingent consideration was $1,664 and $1,884 respectively. The change in the present value of $76 and $220 was recorded to selling, general and administration expenses during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, respectively.

 

The following unaudited, pro forma information assumes the InSource Acquisition and ConVista Acquisition occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.

The Company performed the annual assessment of its goodwill during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, and determined that the estimated fair value of its reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and therefore goodwill was not impaired. The Company evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate that the estimated remaining useful life of its long lived assets, including intangible assets, may warrant revision or that the carrying value of these assets may be impaired. There was no indication of impairment during the three months ended December 31, 2010.

The Company evaluates investments with unrealized losses to determine if the losses are other than temporary. The Company has determined that the gross unrealized losses at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010 are temporary. In making this determination, the Company considered the financial condition, credit ratings and near-term prospects of the issuers, the underlying collateral of the investments, as well as the magnitude of the losses as compared to the cost and the length of time the investments have been in an unrealized loss position. Additionally, the Company does not intend to sell such investments, and it is more likely than not, the Company will not be required to sell such investments prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis.

 

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company uses a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs

Table of Contents

 

and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflected in the consolidated financial statements at carrying value include marketable securities and other financial instruments which approximate fair value. Fair value for marketable securities is determined using a market approach based on quoted market prices at period end in active markets. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

 

·                  Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·                  Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

·                  Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

An entity is allowed to elect to record financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value upon their initial recognition on a contract-by-contract basis. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, the Company elected the fair value option to account for the Put Option (as defined and described in this Note 6 below) related to certain of the Company’s auction-rate securities.

In November 2008, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with UBS AG, the investment firm that had sold the Company auction-rate securities at a par value of $6,675. Under the Agreement, the Company (1) received the right to sell (the “Put Option”) these auction-rate securities back to the investment firm at par, at the Company’s sole discretion, any time during the period from June 30, 2010 through July 2, 2012, and (2) provided the investment firm the right to purchase these auction-rate securities or sell these securities on the Company’s behalf at par any time after the execution of the Agreement through July 2, 2012. During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, the Company sold certain auction rate securities, subject to the Put Option under the Agreement, in the amount of $6,675 at par value.

 

The Company’s investments in auction-rate securities and the related Put Option were classified within Level 3 because there were currently no active markets or observable market prices. Therefore, the auction-rate securities and related Put Option were valued primarily based on an income approach using an estimate of future cash flows. The Company had estimated the fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis which considered the following key inputs: (i) the underlying structure and maturity of each security; (ii) the timing of expected future principal and interest payments; and (iii) discount rates that are believed to reflect current market conditions and the relevant risk associated with each security.

 

Level 3 assets as listed in the table above include auction-rate securities whose underlying assets are either student loans which are substantially backed by the U.S. federal government or preferred shares required to be collateralized at least in a ratio of two to one in a closed end mutual fund. In February 2008, auctions for these securities began to fail and each auction since then has continued to fail. The Company classifies its investment in auction-rate securities as long-term investments, reflecting the fact that the Company’s auction-rate securities have underlying final maturities of greater than one year and based on the Company’s intent and ability to hold the securities until final maturity. These investments were recorded at fair value at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010.

(7) Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its foreign exchange policy on an ongoing basis to assess its ability to address foreign exchange exposures on its consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and consolidated statement of cash flows from all foreign currencies, including most significantly, the U.K. pound sterling, Indian rupee and Sri Lankan rupee. The Company enters into hedging contracts in accordance with its foreign exchange policy (as approved by the Company’s audit committee and board of directors) which permits hedging of material, known foreign currency exposures. Currently, the Company maintains three hedging programs, each with varying contract types, duration and purposes. The Company’s “Cash Flow Program” is designed to mitigate the impact of volatility in the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Company’s Indian rupee denominated expenses over a rolling 24 month period. The Cash Flow Program transactions currently meet the criteria for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges. The Company’s “Balance Sheet Program” involves the use of 30-day derivative instruments designed to mitigate the monthly impact of foreign exchange gains/losses on certain intercompany and third-party balances, which are denominated in Indian rupees, Sri Lankan rupees, British pounds sterling and US dollars. The Company’s “U.K. Revenue and Cost Program” involves the purchase of derivative instruments with maturities of up to 90 days designed to mitigate the impact of foreign exchange movement on U.K. pound sterling denominated revenue and costs. The Balance Sheet Program and the U.K. Revenue and Cost Program do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting and all changes in the fair value of the derivatives purchased under these programs are recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

 

Changes in fair value of the designated cash flow hedges for our Cash Flow Program are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), net of tax, until the forecasted hedged transactions occur and are then recognized in the consolidated statement of income. The Company evaluates hedge effectiveness at the inception of each contract, as well as on an ongoing basis. If and when hedge relationships are discontinued because the forecasted transaction is deemed probable of not occurring by the end of the originally specified period, or within an additional two-month period of time thereafter, any unrealized gains or losses recorded in AOCI are reclassified to earnings. There were no gains (losses) that were reclassified from AOCI into earnings as a result of forecasted transactions that were considered probable of not occurring for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

 

Changes in the fair value for all other derivative contracts and the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges, if any, are recognized in the same line item as the underlying exposure being hedged or in foreign currency transaction gain or loss for the Balance Sheet Program. The Company values its derivatives based on market observable inputs including both forward and spot prices for currencies. Any significant change in the forward or spot prices for hedged currencies would have a significant impact on the value of the Company’s derivatives.

 

The U.S. dollar notional equivalent market value, which consists of the notional value and net unrealized gain or loss, of all outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts, was $52,040 and $43,173, at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. Unrealized net gains related to these contracts which are expected to be reclassified from AOCI to earnings during the next 12 months are $1,228 at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2010, the maximum outstanding term of any derivative instrument under the Company’s hedging programs was 21 months.

(8) Income Taxes

 

Including discrete items, the Company’s effective tax rate was 15.5% and 10.5% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to an effective tax rate of 16.3% and 13.0% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009. This decrease is primarily due to tax benefits related to the reversal of certain tax reserves, prior years’ refund claims as well as the geographic mix of the Company’s forecasted taxable profit partially offset by the expiration of the Hyderabad STP holiday (discussed below) and the effect of a state rate change of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities. The effective income tax rate is based on the estimated composition of income in different jurisdictions for the fiscal year and adjustments, if any, in the unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain income tax positions.

 

During the three month period ended June 30, 2010, the Company reduced the amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to its uncertain tax positions in the United Kingdom and India by $56 and $312, respectively, due to lapse in statutory limits and settlements agreed to for pending appeals, respectively.

 

During the three month period ended September 30, 2010, the Company finalized its estimates of prior years’ refunds to be filed for research and development deductions and recognized a $269 tax benefit.

 

During the three month period ended December 31, 2010, the Company accepted a settlement related to pending appeals in India and recognized $160 of tax expense.

 

No other events, other than those noted above, occurred since March 31, 2010 that the Company believes would have had a material effect on the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to its uncertain income tax positions.

 

The Company’s Indian subsidiaries are export-oriented companies under the Indian Income Tax Act of 1961 and are entitled to claim a tax exemption for a period of ten consecutive years for export profits related to each Software Technology Park, or STP,

which they operate. The Company’s Indian subsidiaries currently operate STPs in Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore. The STP holiday for the Hyderabad unit expired on March 31, 2010 and the STP holidays for Chennai and Bangalore are set to expire on March 31, 2011. When the holidays end, the taxable profit will be taxed at the full statutory rate, currently 33.22%.  Accordingly, the Company’s effective tax rate is expected to increase in connection with the expiration of these tax holidays. The Company’s Indian subsidiaries also operate two development centers in areas designated as a Special Economic Zone, or SEZ, under the SEZ Act of 2005. The Company’s profits from its Hyderabad and Chennai SEZ operations are eligible for certain income tax exemptions for a period of up to 15 years, beginning in fiscal 2010. In addition, the Company was also approved as a SEZ co-developer and operates a campus in Hyderabad. As a SEZ co-developer, the Company is entitled to certain tax benefits for any consecutive period of 10 years during the 15 year period starting in fiscal year March 2009. The Company has not yet claimed any SEZ co-developer income tax benefits.

 

The Company’s Sri Lankan subsidiary, referred to as Virtusa SL, was approved as an export computer software developer eligible for tax exemption by the Sri Lanka Board of Investment in 1998, and has negotiated multiple extensions of the original holiday period in exchange for further capital investments in the Sri Lankan facilities. The most recent 12-year agreement, which is set to expire on March 31, 2019, requires that the Company meet certain new job creation and investment criteria in Sri Lanka by March 31, 2013. In return, the current agreement provides income tax exemption for all business income from exports and certain other benefits. The Company has not yet met the criteria as prescribed in the current holiday agreement. The Company expects to achieve the target criteria.

(10) Treasury Stock

 

On August 5, 2009, the Company’s board of directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorized the purchase of up to $15,000 of shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock on or prior to August 5, 2010, subject to certain price and other trading restrictions. During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, the Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock under this program. The stock repurchase program expired on August 5, 2010.

 

(11) Debt

 

On July 30, 2010, the Company entered into a $3,000 credit agreement with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”) which expires on July 31, 2013. The primary purpose of this agreement is to support the Company’s foreign currency hedging programs. The credit agreement is secured by a grant of a security interest in the Company’s U.S. assets in favor of JPM as well as other collateral.

The agreement contains financial and reporting covenants and limitations. The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants contained in its credit facility and believes that the credit facility provides sufficient flexibility so that it will remain in compliance with its terms. In connection with the execution of this credit facility, the Company terminated its previous $3,000 amended and restated line of credit agreement with RBS Citizens, N.A. and JPM.

 

Beginning in fiscal 2009, the Company’s U.K. subsidiary entered into an agreement with a financial institution to sell, without recourse, certain of its Europe-based accounts receivable balances to such financial institution. During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, $12,796 of receivables were sold under the terms of the financing agreement. Fees paid pursuant to this agreement were immaterial during the nine-months ended December 31, 2010. No amounts were outstanding under the financing agreement at December 31, 2010, but the Company may elect to use this program again in future periods. However, the Company cannot provide any assurances that this or any other financing facilities will be available or used in the future.

 

(12) Subsequent Events

 

On January 3, 2011, the Company purchased multiple foreign currency forward contracts designed to hedge fluctuation in the U.K. pound sterling against the U.S. dollar. The contracts have an aggregate notional amount of approximately £2,343 (approximately $3,655) and will expire on various dates during the period ending March 31, 2011. The weighted average U.K. pound sterling rate associated with these contracts is approximately 1.54.

 

On January 5, 2011, the Company purchased multiple foreign currency forward contracts designed to hedge fluctuation in the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar and U.K. pound sterling.  The U.S dollar contracts have an aggregate notional amount of approximately 26,796 Indian rupees (approximately $592) and an average settlement rate of 45.28 Indian rupees. The U.K. pound sterling contracts have an aggregate notional amount of approximately 43,827 Indian rupees (approximately £624) and have an average settlement rate of 70.18 Indian rupees.  These contracts will expire at various dates during the 24 month period ending on December 31, 2012.  The Company has the obligation to settle these contracts based upon the Reserve Bank of India published Indian rupee exchange rates.  Based on the U.S. dollar to U.K. pound sterling spot rate of $1.55 per UK pound sterling (which was the spot rate on January 5, 2011), the blended weighted average Indian rupee rate associated with both the U.S. dollar and U.K. pound sterling contracts would be approximately 45.28 Indian rupees.

 

On January 25, 2011, the Company purchased multiple foreign currency forward contracts designed to hedge fluctuation in the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar and U.K. pound sterling.  The U.S dollar contracts have an aggregate notional amount of approximately 1,080,642 Indian rupees (approximately $22,574) and an average settlement rate of 47.63 Indian rupees. The U.K. pound sterling contracts have an aggregate notional amount of approximately 708,462 Indian rupees (approximately £9,460) and have an average settlement rate of 74.78 Indian rupees.  These contracts will expire at various dates during the 24 month period ending on December 31, 2012.  The Company has the obligation to settle these contracts based upon the Reserve Bank of India published Indian rupee exchange rates.  Based on the U.S. dollar to U.K. pound sterling spot rate of $1.58 per UK pound sterling (which was the spot rate on January 25, 2011), the blended weighted average Indian rupee rate associated with both the U.S. dollar and U.K. pound sterling contracts would be approximately 47.68 Indian rupees.

Business overview

 

Virtusa Corporation (the “Company”, “Virtusa”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a global information technology services company. We use an offshore delivery model to provide a broad range of information technology (“IT”) services, including IT consulting, technology implementation and application outsourcing. Using our enhanced global delivery model, innovative platforming approach and industry expertise, we provide cost-effective services that enable our clients to use IT to enhance business performance, accelerate time-to-market, increase productivity and improve customer experience. Headquartered in Massachusetts, we have offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Hungary and the Netherlands and global delivery centers in Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bangalore, India and Colombo, Sri Lanka. At December 31, 2010, we had 4,978 employees, or team members.

 

In our three months ended December 31, 2010, our revenue increased by 33.4% to $55.6 million, compared to $41.7 million in our three months ended December 31, 2009. In our nine months ended December 31, 2010, our revenue increased by 37.0% to $159.7 million, compared to $116.6 million in our nine months ended December 31, 2009.

 

The increase in revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, primarily resulted from:

 

·                  Higher revenue contribution from the new clients added over the last eighteen to twenty-four months primarily driven by growth in our clients in the banking, financial service and insurance, or BSFI, industries; and

 

·                  Revenue from clients obtained in connection with the acquisition of InSource LLC (“InSource”) in November 2009 and ConVista Consulting LLC (“ConVista”) in February 2010.

 

Net income increased by 43.5%, or $1.3 million, to $4.2 million in our three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $2.9 million in our three months ended December 31, 2009. Net income increased by 28.4%, or $2.4 million, to $11.0 million in our nine months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $8.5 million in our nine months ended December 31, 2009.

 

The key drivers of the increase in our net income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, were as follows:

 

·                  Higher revenue contribution from new and existing clients, including those clients acquired in the recent acquisitions of InSource and ConVista;

 

·                  Decreased operating expenses as a percentage of revenue due to our ability to leverage operating efficiencies over a larger revenue base; and

 

·                  Foreign exchange gains due to changes in the U.K. pound sterling and Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar, driven

primarily by our hedging programs.

 

These increases were partially offset by:

 

·                  Lower gross margin driven primarily by lower utilization and increased use of onsite resources to satisfy staffing needs, which includes our use of subcontractors;

 

·                  Performance-based review cycles and related compensation increases; and

 

·                  Acquisition related amortization expense and retention bonuses resulting primarily from our acquisition of ConVista.

 

High repeat business and client concentration are common in our industry. Accordingly, our global account management and service delivery teams focus on expanding client relationships and converting new engagements to long-term relationships to generate repeat revenue and expand revenue streams from existing clients.  During the three months ended December 31, 2010, 78% of our revenue was derived from clients who had been using our services for more than one year (88% when excluding revenue from clients recently acquired as a result of the InSource and ConVista acquisitions), as compared to 81% for the three months ended December 31, 2009. During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, 77% of our revenue was derived from clients who had been using our services for more than one year (90% when excluding revenue from those clients recently acquired as a result of the InSource and ConVista acquisitions), as compared to 88% for the nine months ended December 31, 2009.

 

We also have a dedicated business development team focused on closing new accounts to expand our client base and, over time, reduce client concentration. In the three months ended December 31, 2010, recent client additions and expansions, including business acquired from InSource and ConVista, have comprised a larger percent of our total revenue as compared to three months ended December 31, 2009.

 

In the three months ended December 31, 2010, our North America revenue increased 35.6%, or $10.8 million, to $41.3 million, from $30.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2009. In the nine months ended December 31, 2010, our North America revenue increased 38.1%, or $32.9 million, to $119.2 million, from $86.3 million, in the nine months ended December 31, 2009. The increase is primarily driven by growth in our clients in the BFSI industries.  For the three and nine month period ended December 31, 2010, North America revenue represented 74.2% and 74.7% of total revenue, respectively.

 

In the three months ended December 31, 2010, our European revenue increased 9.0%, or $0.9 million, to $11.4 million, from $10.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2009. In the nine months ended December 31, 2010, our European revenue increased 17.9%, or $5.0 million, to $33.0 million, from $28.0 million, in the nine months ended December 31, 2009. The increase is primarily due to the increase in revenue from one of our largest clients, British Telecommunications plc (“British Telecom”), in the three and nine month period ended December 31, 2010, by 12.0% and 24.7% as compared to three and nine month period ended December 31, 2009. Our European revenue, excluding British Telecom increased in the three and nine month period ended December 31, 2010, by 4.0% and 5.3% as compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009.  For the three and nine month period ended December 31, 2010, European revenue represented 20.4% and 20.7% of total revenue, respectively.

 

Our gross profit increased by $3.5 million, or 19.4%, to $21.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $17.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2009. Our gross profit increased by $10.5 million, or 20.6%, to $61.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $50.8 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2009. The increase in gross profit during the nine months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2009, was primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by lower gross margin driven primarily by lower utilization and increased use of onsite resources to satisfy staffing needs, which includes our use of subcontractors, cyclical performance-based review and related compensation increases.

 

We derive our revenue from two types of service offerings; application outsourcing, which is recurring in nature, and consulting, including technology implementation, which is non-recurring in nature. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, our application outsourcing and consulting revenue represented 48.7% and 51.3%, respectively, of our total revenue. During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, our application outsourcing and consulting revenue represented 47.8% and 52.2%, respectively, of our total revenue.

 

We perform our services under both time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts. Revenue from fixed-price contracts represented 19% of total revenue in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, respectively, as compared to 18% and 17% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, respectively. The increased revenue earned from fixed-price contracts in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010 primarily reflects our client preferences and revenue from new clients acquired in the ConVista acquisition.

 

As an IT services company, our revenue growth is highly dependent on our ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain skilled IT professionals. We monitor our overall attrition rates and patterns to align our people management strategy with our growth objectives. At December 31, 2010, our attrition rate for the trailing twelve months, which reflects voluntary and involuntary attrition, was 27.9%. These attrition rates reflect a higher rate of voluntary and involuntary attrition as compared to prior periods and reflect increased volatility as regional and global economic conditions improve. We remain committed to improving our attrition levels. There remains intense competition for IT professionals with the specific domain skills necessary to provide the type of services we offer. If our attrition rate increases or is sustained at higher levels, our growth may slow and our cost of attracting and retaining IT professionals could increase.

We engage in a foreign currency hedging strategy using foreign currency forward contracts designed to hedge fluctuation in the Indian Rupee and Sri Lankan Rupee against the U.S. dollar and U.K. pound sterling, as well as the U.K. pound sterling against the U.S. dollar, to reduce the effect of change in these foreign currency exchange rate changes on our foreign operations and intercompany balances. There is no assurance that these hedging programs or hedging contracts will be effective. Because these foreign currency forward contracts are designed to reduce volatility in the Indian rupee and U.K. pound sterling exchange rates, they not only reduce the negative impact of a stronger Indian rupee and weaker U.K. pound sterling but also could reduce the positive impact of a weaker Indian rupee and stronger U.K. pound sterling on our Indian rupee expenses and U.K. pound sterling denominated revenue and expenses. In addition, to the extent that these hedges do not qualify for hedge accounting, we may have to recognize gains or losses on the aggregate amount of hedges placed earlier and in larger amounts than expected.

 

We are entitled to claim tax exemption for a period of ten consecutive years for export profits related to each Software Technology Park, or STP, which we operate in India. The STP holiday for the Hyderabad unit expired on March 31, 2010 and the STP holidays for our Chennai and Bangalore units are set to expire on March 31, 2011. When the Chennai holiday ends, the taxable profit will be taxed at the full statutory rate, currently 33.22%. As a result of the expiration of these STP tax holidays, we expect that our effective tax rate will increase.

 

Our Sri Lankan subsidiary, referred to as Virtusa SL, was approved as an export computer software developer eligible for tax exemption by the Sri Lanka Board of Investment in 1998, and has negotiated multiple extensions of the original holiday period in exchange for further capital investments in Sri Lanka facilities. The most recent 12-year agreement, which is set to expire on March 31, 2019, requires that we meet certain new job creation and investment criteria in Sri Lanka by March 31, 2013. In return, the current agreement provides an income tax exemption for all business income from exports of Virtusa SL and certain other benefits. We have not yet met the criteria as prescribed in the current holiday agreement.  Our inability to meet the agreed upon timetable for new job creation and investment would jeopardize the benefits of the holiday arrangement.  If we lose our holiday arrangement in Sri Lanka, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely impacted.

 

Application of critical accounting estimates and risks

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, in particular those related to revenue recognition, income taxes (including whether we qualify for income tax exemption in India or Sri Lanka), valuation of financial instruments and share-based compensation. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates. Our management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Additional information about our critical accounting policies may be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 as filed with the SEC.

contribution from our new and existing clients as of December 31, 2009, and revenue from clients obtained in connection with the acquisitions of InSource in November 2009 and ConVista in February 2010. Revenue from North American clients in the three month period ended December 31, 2010 increased by $10.8 million, or 35.6%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009, due primarily to higher revenue from new clients and existing clients in the BFSI industries. Revenue from European clients increased by $0.9 million, or 9.0%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009, due primarily to increased revenue contribution from British Telecom. Revenue from clients existing as of December 31, 2009 increased in the three months ended December 31, 2010 by $1.9 million. Revenue from new clients added since December 31, 2009, including those new clients added as a result of the InSource and ConVista acquisitions, was $12.0 million, or 21.6% of total revenue, for the three months ended December 31, 2010. We had 78 active clients at December 31, 2010, as compared to 57 active clients at December 31, 2009.

 

Costs of revenue

 

Costs of revenue increased from $23.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $34.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $10.4 million, or 43.9%. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily driven by increased use of onsite resources (including subcontractors) to satisfy staffing needs, an increase of $9.2 million in compensation costs for our IT professionals, which includes cyclical performance-based compensation increases and $0.2 million of acquisition-related retention bonus expense, in the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2010, we had 4,611 IT professionals as compared to 3,417 at December 31, 2009. In addition, we incurred increased travel and subcontractor costs of $2.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009. This increase was partially offset by foreign currency gains of $0.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to hedging losses of $0.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue increased from 57.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to 61.4% for three months ended December 31, 2010.

 

Gross profit

 

Our gross profit increased by $3.5 million, or 19.4%, to $21.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $17.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 due to a higher revenue base and foreign currency gains, partially offset by cyclical performance-based compensation increases, increased subcontractor costs and higher costs related to increased onsite work. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit margin was 38.6% and 43.0% in the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

Operating expenses

 

Operating expenses increased from $14.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $16.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $1.9 million, or 13.1%. The increase in our operating expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2010 was primarily due to increases of $1.4 million in compensation expenses, which includes $0.4 million of acquisition-related retention bonus expense, $0.8 million in amortization of intangible assets and $0.3 million in facilities expenses. This increase was partially offset by $0.5 million in hedging gains and a reduction of $0.3 million in professional fees in the three month period ended December 31, 2010 when compared to the three month period ended December 31, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, our operating expenses decreased to 29.6% in the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 34.9% in the three months ended December 31, 2009.

 

Income from operations

 

Income from operations increased by 46.6%, from $3.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $5.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2010. As a percentage of revenue, income from operations increased from 8.2% in the three months ended December 31, 2009 to 9.0% in the three months ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to a larger revenue base and lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue due to operating efficiencies and a larger revenue base partially offset by higher cost of revenue.

 

Other income (expense)

 

Other income (expense) decreased from $0.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $(6) thousand in the three months ended December 31, 2010. This decrease is primarily attributed to foreign currency transaction losses.

Income tax expense

 

Income tax expense increased by $0.2 million from $0.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $0.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 2010. Our effective tax rate decreased from 16.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to 15.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2010, due to the geographic mix of our forecasted taxable profit, recognition of certain U.K. tax incentives related to prior years as well as discrete tax benefits recorded offset in part by the expiration of our STP tax holiday in Hyderabad, India.

 

Net income

 

Net income increased by 43.5%, from $2.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $4.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2010 due primarily to an increased revenue base and lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue due to operating efficiencies, partially offset by higher cost of revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009.

Revenue increased by 37.0%, or $43.1 million, from $116.6 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 to $159.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2010, primarily driven by higher revenue contributions from our new and existing clients as of December 31, 2009, revenue from clients obtained in connection with the InSource and ConVista acquisitions and our clients in the BFSI industries. Revenue from North American clients increased 38.1%, or $32.9 million, in the nine months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2009 due to higher revenue contribution from our new and existing clients in the BFSI industries. Revenue from European clients increased 17.9%, or $5.0 million, in the nine months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2009, due primarily to increased revenue contribution from British Telecom. Revenue from clients existing as of December 31, 2009 increased in the nine months ended December 31, 2010 by $7.1 million as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2009. Revenue from new clients added since December 31, 2009, including those new clients added as a result of the InSource and ConVista acquisitions was $36.0 million, or 22.5%, of total revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. We had 78 active clients as of December 31, 2010 as compared to 57 active clients as of December 31, 2009.

 

Costs of revenue

 

Costs of revenue increased from $65.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2009 to $98.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $32.7 million, or 49.7%. The increase in costs of revenue was primarily driven by increased use of onsite resources (including subcontractors) to satisfy staffing needs, an increase of $25.8 million in compensation costs for our IT professionals, which includes cyclical performance-based compensation increases and $0.7 million of acquisition-related retention bonus expense, in the nine months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2010 we had 4,611 IT professionals as compared to 3,417 IT professionals at December 31, 2009. In addition, there were increased travel costs of $3.9 million and increased subcontractor costs of $6.9 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2009. This increase was partially offset by foreign currency gains of $1.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to hedging losses of $2.5 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2009.

 

Gross profit

 

Our gross profit increased by $10.5 million, or 20.6%, to $61.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $50.8 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2009, due to a higher revenue base and foreign currency gains. The

increase was partially offset by annual and mid-year performance-based review cycle compensation increases, increased subcontractor costs and higher costs related to increased onsite work. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin was 38.4% and 43.6% in the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

Operating expenses

 

Operating expenses increased from $41.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2009 to $49.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $8.0 million, or 19.5%. The increase in our operating expenses in the nine months ended December 31, 2010 resulted from an increase of $6.2 million in compensation expenses, which includes $1.3 million of acquisition-related retention bonus expense, $2.5 million in amortization of intangible assets and $1.1 million in facilities expenses. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in travel costs and by foreign currency gains of $0.6 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to hedging losses of $1.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, our operating expenses decreased from 35.3% in the nine months ended December 31, 2009 to 30.8% in the nine months ended December 31, 2010.

 

Income from operations

 

Income from operations increased by 25.4%, or $2.5 million, from $9.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2009 to $12.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2010. As a percentage of revenue, income from operations decreased from 8.3% in the nine months ended December 31, 2009 to 7.6% in the nine months ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to higher cost of revenue partially offset by lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue due to operating efficiencies and a larger revenue base.

 

Other income

 

Other income remained relatively unchanged at $0.1 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010.

 

Income tax expense

 

We had an income tax expense of $1.3 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010. Our effective tax rate decreased to 10.5% for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to 13.0% for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to the geographic mix of our forecasted profit. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 also reflected a one-time tax benefit of $0.3 million related to the reversal of certain tax reserves offset by the expiration of our STP tax holiday in Hyderabad, India, as well as $0.2 million of expense related to the effect of a state rate change on certain of our deferred tax assets in the United States and $0.2 million of net tax expense related to transfer pricing disputes in India as well as the recognition of $0.3 million tax benefit from certain U.K. tax incentives related to prior years.

 

Net income

 

Net income increased by 28.4%, or by $2.4 million, from $8.5 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2009 to $11.0 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2010. This increase was driven primarily by an increased revenue base and lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue due to operating efficiencies partially offset by higher cost of revenue during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2009.

 

Liquidity and capital resources

 

We have financed our operations from sales of shares of equity securities, including common stock, and from cash from operations. We have not borrowed against our existing or preceding credit facilities.

 

On July 30, 2010, we entered into a $3,000 credit agreement with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”) which expires on July 31, 2013. The primary purpose of this credit agreement is to support our foreign currency hedging programs. The credit agreement is secured by a grant of a security interest in our U.S. assets in favor of JPM as well as other collateral. The agreement contains financial and reporting covenants and limitations. At December 31, 2010, there were no amounts outstanding under this credit facility and we are in compliance with all covenants.

 

In November 2008, we entered into an agreement with UBS AG, the investment firm that had sold us auction-rate securities at a par value of $6.7 million. Under the agreement, we (1) received the right to sell these auction-rate securities back to the investment firm at par, at our sole discretion, any time during the period from December 31, 2010 through July 2, 2012, and (2) gave the investment firm the right to purchase these auction-rate securities or sell these securities on our behalf at par any time after the execution of the agreement through July 2, 2012. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we sold auction rate securities of $3.5 million at par under this agreement. On July 1, 2010, UBS AG exercised its put option right to purchase the remaining $3.2 million of auction rate securities at par (See Note 6 to our unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this report).

 

Beginning in fiscal 2009, our U.K. subsidiary entered into an agreement with an unrelated financial institution to sell, without recourse, certain of its Europe-based accounts receivable balances from one client to such financial institution. During the three

 

20



Table of Contents

 

months ended December 31, 2010, we sold $12.8 million of receivables under the terms of the financing agreement. Fees paid pursuant to this agreement were immaterial during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010. No amounts were outstanding under the financing agreement at December 31, 2010, but we may elect to use this program again in future periods. However, we cannot provide any assurances that this or any other financing facilities will be available or utilized in the future.

 

In connection with the ConVista Acquisition, the purchase price was subject to adjustment after the closing for up to an additional $2.0 million in earn-out consideration based on the achievement of certain revenue and operating margin targets for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011. We determined the fair value of the contingent consideration upon the closing of the ConVista Acquisition based on the probability of ConVista attaining the specified performance targets and assigned a fair value of $1.6 million to the purchase price. As of March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2010, the present value of the contingent consideration was $1.9 million (See Note 4 to our unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this report).

 

Anticipated capital expenditures

 

We are constructing a facility as part of a planned campus on a 6.3 acre site in Hyderabad, India. We expect to complete the construction and build out of this facility, which will be approximately 325,000 square feet, over the next two fiscal years at a total estimated cost of $27.5 million, of which we anticipate incurring capital expenditures of approximately $5.7 million during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011. Through December 31, 2010, we have incurred approximately $19.5 million toward the completion of this facility with approximately $3.7 million incurred during the nine months ended December 31, 2010. Other capital expenditures during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 were approximately $3.8 million. We expect other capital expenditures in the normal course of business during the remainder of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011 to be approximately $0.8 million, primarily for leasehold improvements, capital equipment and purchased software.

Net cash provided by operating activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $13.4 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $18.4 million in cash provided by operations during the nine months ended December 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in days sales outstanding, which was 74 days for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to 68 days for the three months ended December 31, 2009. In addition, there was an increased change in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $4.0 million. This change was partially offset by increase in net income of $2.4 million, decreased change in long term assets of $0.7 million, increased change in operating liabilities of $4.2 million and increased depreciation and amortization expenses of $2.9 million.

 

Net cash used for investing activities

 

Net cash used for investing activities was $15.2 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $17.6 million used during the nine months ended December 31, 2009. The change was primarily due to the net decreased purchase activity in investment securities of $3.7 million, net decreased change in restricted cash of $1.1 million and a decrease in net cash used of $2.9 million for the acquisitions of InSource and ConVista. This was partially offset by an increased use of cash for capital expenditures of $5.4 million.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.1 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $1.7 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease is primarily due to the increase in principal payments on capital leases during the nine months ended December 31, 2010.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

We do not have investments in special purpose entities or undisclosed borrowings or debt.

 

We have a foreign currency cash flow hedging program designed to further mitigate the risks of volatility in the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar and U.K. pound sterling as described below in “Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk.” The program contemplates a partially hedged position of the Indian rupee for a rolling eight quarter period. From time to time, we may also purchase multiple foreign currency forward contracts designed to hedge fluctuation in foreign currencies, such as the U.K. pound sterling, against the U.S. dollar, and multiple foreign currency hedges designed to hedge foreign currency transaction gains and losses on our intercompany balances. Other than these foreign currency derivative contracts, we have not entered into off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are likely to affect liquidity or the availability of or requirements for capital resources.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the disclosures about an entity’s use of fair value measurements. Among these amendments, entities will be required to provide enhanced disclosures about transfers into and out of Level 1 (fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities) and Level 2 (fair value determined based on significant other observable inputs) classifications, provide separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to the tabular reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of Level 3 (fair value determined based on significant unobservable inputs) classification and provide greater disaggregation for each class of assets and liabilities that use fair value measurements. Except for the detailed Level 3 roll-forward disclosures, the new standard was effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2009. The adoption of this accounting standards amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosure or consolidated financial results. The requirement to provide detailed disclosures about the purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll-forward activity for Level 3 fair value measurements is effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2010. The Company does not expect that the adoption of these new disclosure requirements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial results.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Our market risks, and the ways we manage them, are summarized in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

 

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the ordinary course of business. We have historically entered into, and in the future we may enter into, foreign currency derivative contracts to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on both foreign currency denominated assets and forecasted expenses. The purpose of this foreign exchange policy is to mitigate the risk that the recognition of and eventual cash flows related to Indian rupee denominated expenses might be affected by changes in exchange rates.

 

We evaluate our foreign exchange policy on an ongoing basis to assess our ability to address foreign exchange exposures on our balance sheet, income statement and operating cash flows from all foreign currencies, including most significantly the U.K. pound sterling, the Indian rupee, and the Sri Lankan rupee.

 

We use foreign currency hedging programs to mitigate the risks of volatility in the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar and U.K. pound sterling. The U.S. dollar equivalent market value of the outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts at December 31, 2010 was $52.0 million. There is no assurance that these hedging programs or hedging contracts will be effective. Because these foreign currency forward contracts are designed to reduce volatility in the Indian rupee and U.K. pound sterling exchange rates, for example, they not only reduce the negative impact of a stronger Indian rupee and weaker U.K. pound sterling but also reduce the positive impact of a weaker Indian rupee and stronger U.K. pound sterling on our Indian rupee expenses and U.K. pound sterling denominated revenue and expenses. Certain of these contracts meet the criteria for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges (See Note 12 to our unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this report for recent hedging activities). To the extent that these hedges cease to qualify for hedge accounting, we may have to recognize gains or losses on the aggregate amount of hedges placed earlier than expected.

 

Historically the volatility in the U.K. pound sterling has had, and may continue to have, a negative impact on our revenue generated in U.K. pound sterling. In response to this volatility, we have entered into hedging transactions designed to hedge our forecasted revenue and expenses denominated in the U.K. pound sterling. The derivative contracts are less than 90 days in duration and do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting. Such hedges may not be effective in mitigating this currency volatility.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We had no debt outstanding at December 31, 2010. We do not believe we are exposed to material direct risks associated with

 

22



Table of Contents

 

changes in interest rates other than with our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments. At December 31, 2010, we had $103.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments, the interest income from which is affected by changes in interest rates. Our invested securities primarily consist of government sponsored entity bonds, money market mutual funds, commercial paper, corporate debts, municipal bonds and auction-rate securities. Our investments in debt securities are classified as “available-for-sale” and are recorded at fair value. Our “available-for-sale” investments are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Interest rate changes would result in a change in the net fair value of these financial instruments due to the difference between the market interest rate and the market interest rate at the date of purchase of the financial instrument.

 

Concentration of credit risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments, accounts receivable, derivative contracts, other financial assets and unbilled accounts receivable. We place our operating cash, investments and derivatives in highly-rated financial institutions. We adhere to a formal investment policy with the primary objective of preservation of principal, which contains credit rating minimums and diversification requirements. We believe that our credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business risk. We do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties and, accordingly, do not require collateral. Credit losses and write-offs of accounts receivable balances have historically not been material to our financial statements and have not exceeded our expectations.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

At December 31, 2010, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) and internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level in (i) enabling us to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings within the required time period and (ii) ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

We have not made any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

 

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on May 27, 2010 (the “Annual Report”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. There are no material changes to the risk factors described in our Annual Report.

 

Item 2.  Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On August 8, 2007, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) of 4,400,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $14.00 per share which we offered for sale pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 as amended (File No. 333-141952), declared effective by the SEC on August 2, 2007. Net proceeds of the IPO were approximately $52.8 million. We continue to use a portion of the net proceeds from our IPO to fund the construction and build-out of a new facility on our campus in

 

23



Table of Contents

 

Hyderabad, India, of which we have spent approximately $19.5 million as of December 31, 2010 and plan to spend approximately $11.7 million during our fiscal years ending March 31, 2011 and 2012. We also used a portion of our net proceeds to fund the acquisition of InSource and ConVista. The balance of the net proceeds from our IPO will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

Under the terms of our 2007 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or 2007 Plan, we have issued shares of restricted stock to our employees. On the date that these restricted shares vest, we automatically withhold (unless instructed otherwise in advance by an employee that the employee will pay such taxes in cash), via a net exercise provision pursuant to our applicable restricted stock agreements and the 2007 Plan, the number of vested shares (based on the closing price of our common stock on such vesting date) equal to the tax liability owed by such grantee. The shares withheld from the grantees to settle their tax liability are reallocated to the number of shares available for issuance under the 2007 Plan. For the three month period ended December 31, 2010, we withheld an aggregate of 7,034 shares of restricted stock at a price of $14.30 per share.
