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.

In 2011, pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, the Company issued 330,000 Series B Preferred Stock for a consideration of $330 million which enabled the Company to pay a portion of the cash consideration for the acquisition of IGATE Computer Systems Limited (“IGATE Computer”, currently merged with IGATE Global Solutions Limited “IGATE Global”).

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had an outstanding amount of $20 million and $7 million under these facilities at an interest rate of 0.62% and 0.75%, respectively.

The first tranche comprised of $270 million maturing with principal due from November 2016 to November 2018, carrying an interest rate of LIBOR plus 325 basis points.

In connection with the term loan, the Company recorded interest expense of $2.0 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

This facility was used to pay down a portion of the Company’s Senior Notes in April 2014. IGATE Technologies Inc. (“ITI”), the immediate parent company of Pan-Asia, pledged 65% of its equity investment amounting to $388.3 million in Pan-Asia. The loan documents contain customary representations and warranties, events of default, affirmative, negative covenants and financial covenants and the loan was guaranteed by the Company and several of its 100% owned subsidiaries. Pursuant to the provisions of the loan agreement, $3.3 million and $5.3 million of cash is restricted towards interest payment and has been disclosed as part of restricted cash as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the aforementioned borrowings.

7. 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.

The Company uses the estimated annual effective tax rate method in computing its interim tax provision. Certain items, including those deemed to be unusual, infrequent or that cannot be reliably estimated, are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. In these cases, the actual tax expense or benefit applicable to those items is recorded in the same period as the related item. The Company’s reported effective tax rate (“ETR”), including discrete items, was 31.6% and 29.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The difference in the ETR as compared to the U.S. statutory rate of 35.0% is primarily attributable to certain tax holiday benefits enjoyed by the Company’s subsidiary in India.

Under the Indian Income-tax Act, 1961, IGATE Global is eligible to claim income tax holiday on profits derived from the export of software services from divisions registered under Special Economic Zone (“SEZ”) arrangements. Profits derived from the export of software services from these divisions registered under the SEZ scheme are eligible for a 100% tax holiday during the initial five consecutive assessment years followed by 50% for the subsequent five years, and 50% for another five years subject to fulfillment of certain conditions; from the date of commencement of operations by the respective SEZ divisions. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the tax holiday benefits were $2.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively. This SEZ tax holiday will begin to expire from March 2023 through 2029.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, total gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding related interest and penalties, were $13.4 million and $13.2 million respectively. There has been no material movements in ASC 740-10 reserves since December 31, 2014.

The Company recognizes interest related to uncertain tax positions within the interest expense line in the condensed consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has recorded interest expense of $0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in relation to uncertain tax positions in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The total amount of accrued interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheet amounted to $1.4 million as of March 31, 2015.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $11.8 million of net unrecognized tax benefits arising out of the tax positions which would affect the effective tax rate, if recognized. The Company believes it is possible that its existing unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by an amount up to $4.3 million over the next 12 months. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to its tax audits/assessments and that any settlement will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operation. However, there can be no assurances as to the possible outcomes.

8. 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 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.

11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company enters into foreign currency forward and option contracts (“foreign exchange derivative contracts”) to mitigate and manage the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on inter-company and end customer accounts receivables and forecasted sales and inter-company transactions. The Company hedges anticipated sales transactions that are subject to foreign exchange exposure with foreign exchange derivative contracts that are designated effective and that qualify as cash flow hedges under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC No. 815).

As part of its hedge strategy, the Company also enters into foreign exchange derivative contracts which are replaced with successive new contracts up to the period in which the forecasted transaction is expected to occur i.e. (roll-over hedges). In case of rollover hedges, the hedge effectiveness is assessed based on changes in fair value to the extent of changes in spot prices and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transactions occur and upon such occurrence gain or loss is reclassified to earnings in the consolidated statements of income. Accordingly, the changes in the fair value of the contract related to the changes in the difference between the spot price and the forward price (i.e. forward premium/discount) are excluded from assessment of hedge effectiveness and are recognized in consolidated statements of income and are included in foreign exchange gain (loss).

In respect of foreign exchange derivative contracts which hedge the foreign currency risk associated with both the anticipated sales transaction and the collection thereof (dual purpose hedges), the hedge effectiveness is assessed based on overall changes in fair value with the effective portion of gains or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The effective portion of gain or loss attributable to forecasted sales are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in consolidated statements of income when the sales transaction occurs. Post the date of a sales transaction, the Company reclassifies an amount from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings to offset foreign currency translation gain (loss) recorded for the respective receivable during the period. In addition, the Company determines the amount of cost to be ascribed to each period of the hedging relationship based on the functional currency interest rate implicit in the hedging relationship and recognizes this cost by reclassifying it from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to consolidated statements of income for recognized receivables based on the pro rata method.

Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges deemed ineffective are recognized in the consolidated statement of income and are included in foreign exchange gain (loss). The Company also uses foreign exchange derivatives contracts not designated as hedging instruments under ASC No. 815 to hedge intercompany and end customer accounts receivables and other monetary assets denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange derivative contracts are recognized in the consolidated statements of income and are included in foreign exchange gain (loss).

In respect of foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as hedges, the Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company evaluates hedge effectiveness at the time a contract is entered into as well as on an ongoing basis. If during this time, a contract is deemed ineffective, the change in the fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of income and is included in foreign exchange gain (loss). In situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the foreign exchange derivative contract remains outstanding, the net derivative gain or loss continue to be reported in accumulated other comprehensive income unless it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period (as documented at the inception of the hedging relationship) or within an additional two-month period of time thereafter.

The Company enters into foreign exchange currency contracts to mitigate and manage the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates. The following table presents outstanding notional amount and balance sheet location information related to foreign exchange derivative contracts as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Foreign exchange gain, net

   $ 2,547       $ 493   

These foreign exchange derivative contracts were entered into to hedge the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for recognized balance sheet items such as inter-company and end customer receivables, and were not originally designated as hedges. Realized gains (losses) and changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange derivative contracts are recorded in foreign exchange gains (losses), net in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

The estimated net amount of existing gains, net of taxes, as of March 31, 2015 that is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (losses) into earnings within the next 12 months is $5.3 million.

The Company utilizes standard counterparty master agreements containing provisions for netting of certain foreign currency transaction obligations and for set-off of certain obligations in the event of insolvency of one of the parties to the transaction. This provision may reduce the Company’s potential loss resulting from the insolvency of counterparty and would also reduce the counterparty’s potential overall loss resulting from the insolvency of the Company. In the condensed consolidated balance sheet, the Company records the foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities at gross fair value. The potential effect of netting foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities under the counterparty master agreement was as follows (in thousands):

The Company mitigates the credit risk of these foreign exchange derivative contracts by transacting with highly rated counterparties in India which are major banks. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has evaluated the credit and non-performance risks associated with the counterparties and believes that the impact of the credit risk associated with the outstanding derivatives were insignificant.

12. 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. 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.

Investments and Foreign exchange derivative contracts, as disclosed in Note 9 and 11, which are measured at fair value are summarized below (in thousands):

The employee and the Company make monthly contributions of a specified percentage of salary to the Provident Fund, which is administered by the prescribed authority. The Company’s contribution to the Provident Fund was $2.4 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company is required to pay a proportion of employees’ salary and wages into a Superannuation fund in Australia, which is a defined contribution plan. The Company’s employees are also encouraged to set aside additional funds into superannuation. The Company’s contribution was $0.04 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company is also making monthly contributions of a specified percentage to U.K, Sweden and Switzerland Pension scheme, which is administered by an authority. The Company’s contribution to the Pension Scheme was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

401(k) Plan

Eligible employees of United States and Canada of the Company participate in an employee retirement savings plan (the “Plan”) under Section 401(k) of the United States Internal Revenue Code. The Plan allows for employees to defer a portion of their annual earnings on a pre-tax basis through voluntary contributions to the Plan. The Company is currently making contributions under the plan which amounted to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Defined Benefit Plan

The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees in India. The plan provides a lump sum payment to the vested employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, subject to a specified period of service based on the respective employee’s salary and tenure of service. Liabilities with regard to the plan are determined by actuarial valuation.

The following table sets forth the net periodic cost recognized by the Company in respect of the Plan (in thousands):

Other Pension Benefits

One of the former founder directors of IGATE Computer (currently merged with IGATE Global), is entitled to receive pension benefits upon retirement or on termination from employment at the rate of 50% of his last drawn monthly salary. The payment of pension will start when he reaches the age of 65. The Company has invested in a plan with the Life Insurance Corporation of India which will mature at the time this founder director reaches the age of 65. Since the Company is obligated to fund the shortfall, if any, between the annuity payable and the value of the plan asset, the pension liability is actuarially valued at each balance sheet date.

17. Segment Information

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Chief Operating Decision Maker, has regrouped the organization into vertical-based business units to bring in more industry knowledge and solutions, increase the depth and accountability to the business. However, the Company does not have discrete financial information on this basis as per the requirements of ASC 280 and as a result segment information is not presented.

18. Guarantor Subsidiaries - Supplemental condensed consolidating financial information

The Company issued the 2014 Senior Notes which are the senior unsecured obligations of the Company, to refinance the extinguished Senior Notes issued in 2011. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by the Company’s 100% owned domestic subsidiaries ITI, IGATE Inc., and IGATE Holding Corporation (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Company has not included separate financial statements of the Guarantors because they are 100% owned by the Company, the guarantees issued are full and unconditional, and the guarantees are joint and several. There are customary exceptions in the Indenture under which a subsidiary’s guarantee would terminate namely:

 

    a permitted sale or other disposition by a guarantor of all or substantially all of its assets.

 

    the designation or classification of a guarantor as an unrestricted subsidiary pursuant to the indenture governing the guarantees.

 

    defeasance or discharge of the Senior Notes.

 

    the release of a guarantor due to the operation of the definition of “Immaterial Subsidiary” in the documents governing the guarantees; or

 

    the Senior Notes’ achievement of investment grade status.

19. Commitments and contingencies

Capital commitments

As of March 31, 2015, the Company has open purchase orders totaling $24.5 million towards construction of new facilities and purchase of property and equipment.

Bank guarantees

As of March 31, 2015, guarantees and letters of credit provided by banks on behalf of the Company’s subsidiaries, to customs authorities, customers and vendors for capital procurements amounted to $3.7 million. These guarantees and letters of credit have a remaining term of approximately one month to five years.

Other commitments

The Company’s business process delivery centers in India are 100% Export Oriented units or Software Technology Parks (“STPs”) and SEZs under the STP and SEZ guidelines issued by the Government of India. These units are exempted from customs, central excise duties, and levies on imported and indigenous capital goods, stores, and spares. The Company has executed legal undertakings to pay custom duties, central excise duties, levies, and liquidated damages payable, if any, in respect of imported and indigenous capital goods, stores, and spares consumed duty free, in the event that certain terms and conditions are not fulfilled.

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 7.00% 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

During the current quarter, the Company has been served a notice for the assessment of property tax liability by local governing body in India. The Company has accrued liability from the date of license agreement as against the date of possession as the Company was merely in possession of the property and could not have entered and constructed or enjoyed the benefits of the Property. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued for $1.4 million representing the estimated property taxes from the date of possession through the date of license, as the management believes that these are not tenable against the Company.

The Company is involved in lawsuits and claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

20. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity is required to follow five steps which comprises of a) identifying the contract(s) with a customer; b) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; c) determining the transaction price; d) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and e) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, under either retrospective or retrospective with cumulative effect adoption. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential effects of these changes to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2015

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs – Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30)”. ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discount. The ASU intends to reduce complexity for financial statement preparers across all industries. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this ASU on January 1, 2016 and will have an impact on the presentation of debt issuance costs on the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-04, “Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets – Compensation Retirement Benefits (Topic 750)”. The ASU provides practical expedient for entities with a fiscal year end that does not coincide with a month end, by permitting the entities to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month end that is closest to the entity’s fiscal year end and apply practical expedient consistently from year to year and to all plans if the entity has more than one plan. The entity is also required to adjust the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations for significant events that occur between the month end and the entity’s fiscal year end. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU does not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

21. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

None.

22. Subsequent Events

On April 25, 2015, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Cap Gemini S.A (“SA”), Capgemini North America, Inc. (“NA” and, together with SA, “Parent”) and Laporte Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NA (“Merger Sub”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company and by the boards of directors of SA, NA and Merger Sub, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of NA. In connection with the Merger (“Effective Time”), each outstanding share of Company common stock (other than shares owned by the Company as treasury stock or by Parent or Merger Sub) will be converted into the right to receive $48.00 in cash. The transaction is subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased by 6.6%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase is directly attributable to the combination of increased business with our recurring customers by 8.9% and business with new customers by 1.9%, which was partially offset by the cessation of business with certain existing customers by 1.5%. The increased business with our recurring customers is the direct result of our strategy to prioritize the expansion of our relationships with our existing customers. The movement of the USD against various other currencies had a net adverse impact on our revenues by 2.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the corresponding period in the previous year.

Our top five customers accounted for 37.2% and 38.5% of the revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

United States:

Our dynamic global delivery model comprising of offshore, onsite and expansion of near-shore delivery centers has enabled us to drive client proximity and centricity. We believe that this combined with the improving economic outlook has resulted in strong prospects for us in this market. It continues to be our leading market and revenues grew by 14.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The growth was primarily attributable to increased business with our recurring and new customers by 13.5% and 1.8%, respectively which was partially offset by cessation of customers by 1.0%. The revenue growth was primarily attributable to growth in our manufacturing, banking and financial services (“BFS”) and retail and consumer packaged goods verticals of 5.7%, 2.7% and 2.0%, respectively.

Canada:

The movement of USD against CAD adversely impacted our revenues by 10.3% resulting in a net decrease of 11.3 % for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months March 31, 2014. The decrease was also attributable to decreased business with our recurring customers by 1.1% and cessation of business with certain existing customers by 0.5% which was partially offset by the increase in business with our new customers by 0.6%. Our BFS vertical experienced a 15.2% decrease which was partially offset by 4.8% increase in our Insurance vertical.

EMEA:

EMEA continues to be our second leading market representing 13.9% of revenues for the current reporting period. We continue to expand our presence by focusing more on certain markets in the EMEA region where we have promising prospects. In pursuit of gaining traction, we also expanded our delivery centers to enable us to offer more customized solutions to our customers. The revenues decreased by 10.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily due to the movement of the USD against respective currencies which had a net adverse impact on our revenues by 7.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. The decrease was also attributable to decreased business with our recurring customers, which reduced revenues by 3.7% and the cessation of business with certain existing customers, which reduced revenues by 2.1%. These reductions were were partially offset by a 3.0% increase in business with new customers. The diversified, BFS, healthcare and lifesciences and retail and consumer packaged goods verticals experienced revenue reductions of 4.2%, 3.1%, 2.9% and 2.5%, respectively.

Asia Pacific (“APAC”):

Revenues increased by 5.4% and 1.6% with our recurring customers and new customers, respectively, which was partially offset by a 6.7% decrease due to the cessation of business with certain existing customers. However, the movement of the USD against the respective currencies had an adverse impact on revenues by 5.6% resulting in a net decrease in revenues by 5.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in revenue was primarily contributed by insurance and diversified verticals contributing to 7.0% and 4.3% which was partially offset by increased revenues in BFS and manufacturing verticals by 3.9% and 2.8%, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, there was an increase in revenue from onsite services directly attributable to an increase in the use of onsite resources. Our increased investments in building talent capital, leadership, and learning and solution development were attributable to a decrease in realized and utilization rates during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Adverse forex impact has also resulted in decreased realized rates during the three months ended March 31, 2015. We believe our increased on-site presence, stable hiring, increased automation and other scale benefits will improve utilization rates.

Gross margin

Our gross margin percentage (gross margin as percentage of revenues) was 35.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to 37.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The details of gross margin are as follows (in thousands):

As we conduct business through our globally integrated onsite and offshore delivery locations, primarily in India, the strengthening or weakening of the USD against other currencies, has a direct effect on our costs by reducing or increasing the cost of our services in offshore delivery centers which impacts our profitability.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the decrease in gross margin percentage was directly attributable to an increase in salaries, performance incentives and other costs directly associated with billable professionals, including payroll taxes and insurance by 3.7% and unfavorable movement of the USD against the INR impacting our gross margin by 0.4% which was partially offset by decrease in immigration costs including visa fees and travel by 1.4% and a better utilization rate by 0.3%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) include all costs that are not directly associated with revenue-generating activities. These include employee costs, corporate costs and facilities costs. Employee costs include selling, marketing and administrative salaries and related employee benefits and training costs.

Our SG&A percentage (SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues) was 14.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to 14.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Total SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased by $4.9 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Employee costs increased by $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to higher salary, overhead expenses and benefits by $2.1 million which was offset by an decrease in staff welfare expenses by $0.5 million.

Marketing costs decreased by $0.9 million due to reduced marketing and promotional activities. Legal costs decreased by $0.5 million primarily due to decreased professional fees related to ongoing general litigation matters and receipt of insurance reimbursement of $0.2 million on employee litigation matter. Other corporate costs increased by $3.9 million mainly due to increase of $2.8 million in rates and taxes on account of taxes on property located in India and increased software license expenses of $0.4 million which was partially offset by decrease in recruitment expenses by $0.3 million and subcontractor costs by $0.3 million on account of decrease in headcount. Also, there was a one time reversal of provision for doubtful debts for the three months ended March 31, 2014 amounting to $1.1 million.

Table of Contents

Facility costs increased by $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to increases in rent and electricity by $1.2 million due to increase in rental facilities in offsore centers and communication costs by $0.2 million.

Depreciation and amortization costs

Depreciation and amortization costs were at 3.3% and 3.2% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in costs for the current reporting period was mainly due to expansion of offshore delivery centers in India.

Operating income

Our operating margin (operating income as a percentage of revenue) was 17.0% and 20.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This decrease was mainly due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expense and depreciation and amortization.

Interest expense

Interest expenses were 2.3% and 7.8% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The details of interest expense are as follows (in thousands):

The decrease in interest expense of $16.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily on account of a lower interest rate of 4.75% on the new Senior Notes of $325 million as compared to 9.00% on the extinguished Senior Notes of $770 million and repayment of $90 million against the second tranche of the term loan and partial payment of $36 million against the first tranche of the term loan during the third quarter of 2014.

Foreign exchange gain, net

Foreign exchange gain was $6.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

We recognized foreign currency gain of $6.3 million and $0.7 million on foreign exchange derivative contracts related to inter-company and end customer receivables and forecasted revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

We also recognized a foreign currency loss of $0.4 million on the re-measurement related to other monetary assets and liabilities and gain of $0.4 million on the re-measurement of the unsecured revolving working credit facility for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to a foreign currency loss of $2.2 million on the re-measurement related to other monetary assets and liabilities and gain of $1.7 million on the re-measurement of the unsecured revolving working credit facility for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Our investment base as of January 1, 2015 and 2014 was $186.7 million and $386.2 million, respectively which attributed to the reduction in investment income.

Interest received on tax refunds from tax authorities amounted to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Interest received from one of the customers as part of the receivables settlement is $0.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2014.

Income taxes

Our reported effective tax rate (“ETR”), including discrete items recorded during the period, was 31.6% and 29.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company filed amended tax returns for prior assessment years for its India jurisdiction in order to claim certain additional benefits and also reassessed India tax positions for the open assessment years, which led to a lower tax expense of $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Non-controlling interest

As of March 31, 2015, we had approximately 0.5% of the outstanding share capital of IGATE Global held by general public.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded $0.1 million share of profits and $0.05 million of accumulated other comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling interest as compared to $0.1 million share of profits and $0.2 million of accumulated other comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling interest for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Preferred dividend

On November 4, 2014, Viscaria exercised its option to convert its preferred stock into the Company’s common stock. Prior to this conversion, we accrued for cumulative dividends of $8.1 million at a rate of 8.00% per annum, compounded quarterly, for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Following this conversion, there were no remaining issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures:

We believe that providing adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in addition to the related GAAP measures provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by our management in our financial and operational decision-making. These non-GAAP measures are also used by management in connection with our performance compensation programs.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures are included in the financial tables below.

We believe that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. These non GAAP measures should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures.

The non-GAAP financial measures contained herein exclude the following items and related tax adjustments:

 

    Amortization of intangible assets: Intangible assets primarily comprise of customer relationships. We incur charges relating to the amortization of these intangibles. These charges are included in our GAAP presentation of earnings from operations, operating margin, net income and diluted earnings per share. We exclude these charges for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP measures.

    Stock-based compensation: Although stock-based compensation is an important component of the compensation of our employees and executives, determining the fair value of the stock-based instruments involves a high degree of judgment and estimation and the expense recorded may not reflect the actual value realized upon the future exercise or termination of the related stock-based awards. Furthermore, unlike cash compensation, the value of stock-based compensation is determined using a complex formula that incorporates factors, such as market volatility, that are beyond our control. Management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business.

 

    Merger and reorganization expenses: In 2014, we merged and reorganized our overseas subsidiaries and branches with a view to simplifying the corporate structure and have incurred legal and professional expenses in connection with these actions. Merger and reorganization is an infrequent activity and expenses incurred in connection therein are inconsistent in amount and significantly impacted by the timing and nature of the reorganization. We believe that eliminating these expenses for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP measures facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.

 

    Preferred dividend and accretion to preferred stock: In 2011, we issued 8.00% Series B Preferred Stock. We also incurred issuance costs that have been netted against the proceeds received from the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock. Prior to its conversion to common stock on November 4, 2014, the Series B Preferred Stock was being accreted over a period of six years. Although, the effect of inclusion of equivalent units of common stock towards convertible participating preferred stock is anti-dilutive for GAAP purposes, the non-GAAP diluted earnings per share has been calculated assuming the conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into equivalent units of common stock. We believe that eliminating these expenses as well as inclusion of equivalent units of common stock towards the preference shares to compute diluted earnings per share for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP measures facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance. As discussed below, following the conversion on November 4, 2014, there were no remaining issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

From time to time in the future, there may be other items that we may exclude in presenting our financial results.

The table below presents a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures for each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively (in thousands, except for per share data):

Non-GAAP Disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, (iii) income tax expense, minus (iv) other income, net plus (v) foreign exchange (gain)/loss, (vi) stock-based compensation and (vii) merger and reorganization expenses. We eliminated the impact of the above as we do not consider them as indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These adjustments are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA: (i) as a factor in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation, (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and (iii) because our credit agreement and our indenture use measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA to measure our compliance with certain covenants.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts; although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing operating performance for a particular period; and

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA supplementally.

We present the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA because, management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate the performance of the business and believes the presentation of this measure will enhance the investors’ ability to analyze trends in the business and evaluate our underlying performance relative to other companies in the industry.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world, of which we hold approximately $117.2 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in our foreign subsidiaries as of March 31, 2015. Amounts held outside of the United States are utilized to support non-U.S. liquidity needs. Our ongoing cash flows and external borrowings in the United States are expected to be sufficient to meet our primary operating liquidity needs, in the United States, for at least twelve (12) months following this report.

We have provided for the United States federal tax liability on the post-acquisition and pre-merger earnings and profits of the former IGATE Computer (currently merged with IGATE Global). The Company intends to use the remaining accumulated and future earnings of merged entities as well as other foreign subsidiaries to expand operations outside the United States and accordingly, undistributed earnings and profits are deemed permanently reinvested. However, if our intent is to change and we elect to repatriate such undistributed foreign earnings back to United States, it could result in additional income tax payments in future years. We estimate the potential tax liability relating to the repatriation of such undistributed foreign earnings to be approximately $236 million as of March 31, 2015.

The following table summarizes the sources and uses of cash from our condensed consolidated statements of cash flow (in thousands):

Cash from Operations

Our largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from our customers for different information technology services we render under various Statements of Work. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for personnel related expenditures, leased facilities and taxes.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $16.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and unbilled revenues and prepaid expenses and other assets resulting from an increased business.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $6.5 million as compared to $12.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Our investment portfolio and other investments decreased by $26.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $28.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Capital expenditures were $19.9 million and $16.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Significant portions of the capital expenditures were due to the expansion of our campus facilities located in our Indian centers.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we entered into arrangements for an unsecured revolving working credit facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A and The Hongkong and Shangai Banking Corporation Limited (“HSBC”) for a maximum aggregate principal amount of $50 million and $20 million, with the overall borrowing not exceeding the overall limit of $70 million. As of March 31, 2015, we borrowed $27 million against these facilities. We paid $27 million against an unsecured revolving working credit facility undertaken from a bank as we entered into similar arrangements with other banks to avail operational flexibility. We also paid $20 million against a revolver credit facility which was availed for our working capital requirements.

The net proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options were $1.1 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Our primary future cash requirements will be to fund working capital, debt service, capital expenditures, and benefit obligations. In addition to our working capital requirements, we expect our primary cash requirements for 2015 to be as follows:

 

    Debt service—We expect to make payments of approximately $14.9 million during the remaining of 2015 for interest associated with Senior Notes and bank borrowings.

 

    Capital expenditures—We expect to spend approximately $55 million for new and existing facility expansion and new hardware and software during the remaining of 2015. Of this, we have open purchase obligations of $24.5 million towards construction of new facilities and purchase of property and equipment. We will fund all capital expenditures through a combination of available cash reserves and short term investments and expect to fund the costs of future expansion through our net cash flows provided by operations.

We and our subsidiaries may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt (including publicly issued debt) through cash purchases and/or exchanges, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Future Sources of Liquidity

We expect our primary source of cash to be positive net cash flows provided by operating activities. Further, we continue to focus on cost reductions and have initiated steps to reduce overheads and provide cash savings.

The Company currently has four revolving credit facilities providing for borrowings of up to an aggregate of $145 million subject to certain contractual limitations. As of March 31, 2015, we had borrowed $107 million under the revolving credit facilities. The revolving credit facilities include other conditions that, if not complied with, could restrict our availability to borrow.

The Indenture governing our Senior Notes and our credit agreements contain various covenants which are subject to a number of limitations and exceptions. The Indenture governing the Notes requires us to comply with a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Secured Leverage Ratio and a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio when certain events occur. These ratios are based on

Table of Contents

what we refer to as “Adjusted EBITDA”, which is defined under “Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this Form 10 K. Non- compliance with such covenants could affect our liquidity. We are currently in compliance with all covenants associated with our borrowings. The specific covenants and related definitions can be found in the Indenture and credit agreements, each of which are filed with the SEC.

For more information on the revolving credit facilities and the restrictions on borrowing there under, please refer to Note 4, Line of Credit, Note 5, Term Loans and Note 6, Senior Notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

In order to meet our cash needs we may, from time to time borrow under our credit facilities or issue long term or short-term debt or equity, if the market and our credit facilities and the indentures governing our notes permit us to do so. For more information on the income tax consequences of the repatriation of the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, please refer to the disclosure provided in Liquidity and Capital Resources included in this Form 10 Q. We regularly evaluate market conditions, our liquidity profile, and various financing alternatives for opportunities to enhance our capital structure.

Based on past performance and current expectations, we expect our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $147.2 million as of March 31, 2015, and our ongoing cash flows and external borrowings to be sufficient to meet our operating liquidity requirements described above for at least the twelve (12) months following this report.

Debt Service Obligations

As of March, 31, 2015, principal payments due under our indebtedness were $666 million, excluding capital lease obligations of $1.3 million. Our interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $6.3 million.

Our leverage requires that a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness. We continually monitor our exposure to the risk of increased interest rates as portions of our borrowings under our credit facilities are at variable rates of interest.

The Company has made all scheduled payments timely under the indenture governing its Senior Notes, and the revolving credit facilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Effect of Hypothetical Currency Rate Fluctuations

Our primary net foreign currency exposure is the Indian Rupee. The fair value of foreign exchange contracts is subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

As of March 31, 2015, the potential gain or loss in the fair value of the Company’s outstanding foreign exchange derivative contracts assuming hypothetical 10%, 5%, 2% and 1% fluctuations in currency rates would be approximately:

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. (Source: Gartner Forecast Alert: IT Spending, Worldwide, 1Q15 Update, ID Number: G00272893), an IT research and advisory company, the IT Services industry worldwide IT spending is forecasted to total $942 billion in 2015, a 0.6 % decrease from 2014 spending of nearly $948 billion.

(Disclaimer: The Gartner Report described herein, represent(s) data, research opinion or viewpoints published, as part of a syndicated subscription service, by Gartner, Inc. (“Gartner”), and are not representations of fact. Each Gartner Report speaks as of its original publication date (and not as of the date of this Report) and the opinions expressed in the Gartner Report(s) are subject to change without notice.)

As the global economic recovery continues modest growth in IT spending is expected. However, uncertainties surrounding the prospects for a more substantial upturn in global economic growth remain hindrances to the enhanced growth in IT spending. This uncertainty has caused pessimistic business and consumer sentiment throughout the world and led to a reduction in IT outsourcing specifically in collocation, hosting and data center outsourcing. In response, the industry is aggressively pursuing innovations involving cloud computing services that it expects to stimulate demand beyond the modest growth experienced in recent years. 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 as we serve both IT and IT-enabled solutions. We also believe that our strategy of a global delivery model positions us well to provide a greater breadth of services, expertise and solutions in catering to market needs and opportunities.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this report, including our financial statements and the related notes appearing in this report. We cannot assure you that any of the events discussed in the risk factors below will not occur. These risks could have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows and if so our future prospects would likely be materially and adversely affected. If any of such events were to happen, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. Consequently, you should not consider the following to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties and should be read in conjuction with the risk factors and information disclosed in the Form 10-K.

We face risks related to the Merger of the Company with an entity formed by Cap Gemini that could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, financial results, and stock price.

Completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, including the receipt of approval from government or regulatory agencies. There is no assurance that all of the various conditions will be satisfied, or that the Merger will be completed on the proposed terms, within the expected timeframe, or at all. The Merger gives rise to other inherent risks including:

 

    legal or regulatory proceedings, the ability of Cap Gemini to obtain the necessary financing in connection with the Merger, or other matters that affect the timing or ability to complete the transaction as contemplated;

 

    the possibility of disruption to our business from the Merger, including increased costs as well as diversion of management time and resources;

 

    difficulties maintaining business and operational relationships, including relationships with customers, suppliers, and other business partners because of the uncertainty relating to our ability to perform contracts and the completion of the proposed merger;

 

    litigation relating to the Merger;

 

    the inability to retain key personnel pending consummation of the Merger;

 

    the inability to pursue alternative business opportunities or make appropriate changes to our business because of requirements in the Merger Agreement that we conduct our business only in the ordinary course and not take certain specified actions prior to the completion of the Merger;

 

    the requirement to pay a termination fee of $161.3 million if the Company terminates the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including to enter into a superior proposal, as defined in the Merger Agreement;

 

    the risk that the Merger is not completed, which could lead to the loss of or damage to business relationships with customers, suppliers and other business partners, a decline in investor confidence, the failure to retain key personnel, a reduction in profitability due to costs incurred in connection with the Merger, and shareholder litigation, and a decline in the market price of the Company’s stock.
