(2) Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company 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, 2016 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, 2016. 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.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and reflect the financial statements of Virtusa Corporation and all of its subsidiaries that are directly or indirectly more than 50% owned or controlled. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity, but exerts a significant influence on the entity, the Company applies the equity method of accounting.

 

The consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, Virtusa Consulting Services Private Limited, Virtusa Software Services Private Limited, Virtusa Technologies (India) Private Limited, Polaris Consulting & Services Limited and Optimus Global Services Limited, each organized and located in India; Virtusa (Private) Limited, organized and located in Sri Lanka; Virtusa UK Limited and Polaris Consulting & Services Limited, each organized and located in the United Kingdom; Virtusa Securities Corporation, a Massachusetts securities corporation; Apparatus, Inc. organized and located in Indiana; Virtusa International, B.V. and Polaris Software Lab B.V., each organized and located in the Netherlands; Virtusa Hungary Kft. and Polaris Consulting & Services, Kft., each organized and located in Hungary; Virtusa Germany GmbH and Polaris Software Lab GmbH, each organized and located in Germany; Virtusa Switzerland GmbH and Polaris Consulting & Services SA, each organized and located in Switzerland; Virtusa Singapore Private Limited and Polaris Consulting & Services Pte Limited, each organized and located in Singapore; Virtusa Malaysia Private Limited and Polaris Consulting & Services, SND BHD, each organized and located in Malaysia; Virtusa Austria GmbH, organized and located in Austria; Virtusa Philippines Inc., organized and located in the Philippines; Virtusa Sweden AB organized and located in Sweden; Virtusa Canada, Inc. and Polaris Consulting & Services Inc, each organized and located in Canada; Polaris Consulting & Services Ireland Limited, organized and located in Ireland; Polaris Consulting & Services Japan K.K., organized and located in Japan; Polaris Consulting & Services Pty Ltd., organized and located in

Australia; Polaris Consulting & Services FZ-LLC, organized and located in the United Arab Emirates; Polaris Software Lab (Shanghai) Limited, organized and located in China. 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 reporting 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 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, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued employee compensation and benefits and other accrued expenses and long-term debt, approximate their fair values due to the nature of the items. See Note 5 of the notes to our financial statements for a discussion of the fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on April 1, 2018. Early application is permitted but not before periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB issued updates to the new revenue standard to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations for reporting revenue gross versus net, identifying performance obligations, accounting for licenses of intellectual property, transition, contract modifications, collectability, non-cash consideration and presentation of sales and other similar taxes with the same effective date. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-01) to the standard on financial instruments. The update significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The update also amends certain disclosure requirements. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption, entities will be required to make a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. However, the specific guidance on equity securities without readily determinable fair value will apply prospectively to all equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. Early adoption of certain sections of this update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the new standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued as update (ASU 2016-02) to the standard on leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. The new standard replaces the existing guidance on leases and requires the lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with lease terms equal to or greater than twelve months. For finance leases, the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset, and for operating leases, the lessee would recognize total lease expense on a straight-line basis. For public business entities this standard is effective for the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption of this new standard is permitted. Entities will be required to use a modified retrospective transition which provides for certain practical expedients. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-05) to the standard on derivatives and hedging on the effect of derivative contract novations on existing hedge accounting relationships. As it relates to derivative instruments, novation refers to replacing one of the parties to a derivative instrument with a new party, which may occur for a variety of reasons such as: financial institution mergers, intercompany transactions, an entity exiting a particular derivatives business or relationship, or because of laws or regulatory requirements. The update clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as

the hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require designation of that hedge accounting relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after January 1, 2017. Upon adoption, the entities can choose to apply on either a prospective basis or a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption of this update is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-09) to the standard on Compensation—Stock Compensation, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. Upon adoption, entities will be required to apply a modified retrospective, prospective or retrospective transition method depending on the specific section of the guidance being adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the update will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. This standard update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). This update is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and payments are classified in the statement of cash flows. This standard update addresses eight specific cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, the settlement of contingent liabilities arising from a business combination, proceeds from insurance settlements, and distributions from certain equity method investees. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, an update to the standard on income taxes. This new standard requires the recognition of current and deferred income taxes when an intra-entity transfer of assets other than inventory occurs. The update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted in the first interim period. Upon adoption, the entities will be required to use a modified retrospective transition approach.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash (Topic 230), which is intended to reduce diversity in practice on how changes in restricted cash are classified and presented in the statement of cash flows. This ASU requires amounts generally described as restricted cash to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented.

 

(3) Earnings 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 the dilutive impact of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period in the denominator. Common stock equivalents include shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights, issuance of shares on exercise or vesting of restricted stock units, unvested restricted stock awards, net of shares assumed to have been purchased with the proceeds, using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods set forth below:

During the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, unvested restricted stock awards and unvested restricted stock units issuable for, and options to purchase 649,414 and 25,702 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 nine months ended December 31, 2016, and 2015, unvested restricted stock awards and unvested restricted stock units issuable for, and options to purchase 466,936 and 10,413 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

(4) Investment Securities

 

At December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, all of the Company’s investment securities were classified as available-for-sale and were carried on its balance sheet at their fair market value. A fair market value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs was used to measure each security (See Note 5 of the notes to our financial statements for a discussion of the fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments.).

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, 2016 and March 31, 2016 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, and 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, while the Company classifies the securities as available for sale, the Company does not currently 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 their carrying value.

 

Proceeds from sales of available-for-sale investment securities and the gross gains and losses that have been included in earnings as a result of those sales were as follows:

(5) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company uses a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and enhanced 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 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.

(6) Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage selected foreign currency and interest rate exposures. 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, the euro, Indian rupee and Sri Lankan rupee. The Company enters into hedging programs with highly rated financial institutions 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. There is no margin required, no cash collateral posted or received by us related to our foreign exchange forward contracts. Currently, the Company maintains four 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. In addition, as part of the Polaris acquisition, the Company has assumed a cash flow program designed to mitigate the impact of the volatility of the translation of Polaris U.S. dollar denominated revenue into Indian rupees over a rolling 18 month period (“Polaris Cash Flow Program”). These cash flow hedges 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 balances and payments. The Company’s “Economic Hedge Program” involves the purchase of derivative instruments with maturities of up to 92 days, and is designed to mitigate the impact of foreign exchange on the U.K. pound sterling, the euro and the Swedish krona denominated revenue and costs with respect to the quarter for which such instruments are purchased. The Balance Sheet Program and the Economic Hedge Program are treated as economic hedges as these programs do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting and all gains and losses are recognized in consolidated statement of income under the same line item as the underlying exposure being hedged.

 

The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties on its financial instruments.  All counterparties currently have investment grade credit ratings.  The Company anticipates that these counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts.  The Company has derivative contracts with three counterparties as of December 31, 2016.

 

The Company’s agreements with its counterparties contain provisions pursuant to which the Company could be declared in default of its derivative obligations.  As of December 31, 2016, the Company had not posted any collateral related to these agreements.  If the Company had breached any of these provisions as of December 31, 2016, it could have been required to settle its obligations under these agreements at amounts which approximate the December 31, 2016 fair values reflected in the table below.  During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company was not in default of any of its derivative obligations.

 

ASC 815, “Derivative and Hedging” requires that all derivatives be recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company evaluates all of 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. Changes in fair value of the designated cash flow hedges for the Company’s Cash Flow Program as well as the Polaris 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 in the same line item as

Table of Contents

 

the item being hedged. The Company evaluates hedge effectiveness at the time a contract is entered into, as well as on an ongoing basis. If, and when, all or part of a hedge relationship is 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, the contract, or the relative amount of the contract, is deemed “ineffective” and any related derivative amounts recorded in equity 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 nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Changes in the fair value of the derivatives purchased under the Balance Sheet Program are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of income and are included in foreign currency transaction gains (losses) for each period. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives purchased under the Economic Hedge Program are also reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of income and are included in the same line item as the underlying exposure being hedged for each period.

 

The U.S. dollar notional value of all outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts was $169,112 and $266,706 at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Unrealized net gains related to these contracts which are expected to be reclassified from AOCI to earnings during the next 12 months were $10,699 at December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2016, the maximum outstanding term of any derivative instrument was 18 months.

 

On July 26, 2016, the Company entered into two 12-month forward starting interest rate swap transactions and on July 28, 2016, the Company entered into a third 12-month forward starting interest rate swap transaction to mitigate Company’s interest rate risk on 50% of Company’s variable rate debt (collectively, “The Interest Rate Swap Agreements”). The Company’s objective is to limit the variability of cash flows associated with changes in LIBOR interest rate payments due on the Credit Agreement by using pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps to offset the future variable rate interest payments.  The Company will recognize these transactions in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging,” and have designated the swaps as cash flow hedges.

 

The Interest Rate Swap Agreements have an effective date of July 31, 2017 and a maturity date of July 31, 2020. The swaps have an aggregate beginning notional amount of $93,800 and hedge approximately 50% of the Company’s forecasted outstanding debt balance as of July 31, 2017. The notional amount of the swaps amortizes over the three swap periods corresponding to the quarterly principle payments on the term loan. The Interest Rate Swap agreements require the Company to make monthly fixed interest rate payments based on the amortized notional amount at a blended weighted average rate of 1.025% and the Company will receive 1-month LIBOR on the same notional amounts.

 

The counterparties to the Interest Rate Swap Agreements could demand an early termination of the 2016 Swap Agreements if the Company is in default under the Credit Agreement, or any agreement that amends or replaces the Credit Agreement in which the counterparty is a member, and the Company is unable to cure the default.  An event of default under the Credit Agreement includes customary events of default and failure to comply with financial covenants, including a maximum consolidated leverage ratio commencing on December 31, 2016, of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 for the first year of the Credit Agreement, of not more than 3.00 to 1.00 for the second year of the Credit Agreement, and 2.75 to 1.00 thereafter, each as determined for the four consecutive quarter period ending on each fiscal quarter and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00.   As of December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The unrealized gain associated with the 2015 Swap Agreement was $1,723 as of December 31, 2016, which represents the estimated amount that the Company would receive from the counterparties in the event of an early termination.

(7) Acquisitions

 

On March 3, 2016, pursuant to a share purchase agreement (the “SPA”), dated as of November 5, 2015, by and among Virtusa Consulting Services Private Limited (“Virtusa India”), a subsidiary of the Company, Polaris Consulting & Services Limited (“Polaris”) and the Promoter Sellers named therein, as amended, the Company completed the purchase of 53,133,127 shares, or approximately 51.7% of the fully-diluted capitalization of Polaris from certain Polaris shareholders for approximately $168,257 (Indian rupees 11,391,365) in cash (the “Polaris SPA Transaction”). In addition, on April 6, 2016, Virtusa India completed an unconditional mandatory open offer with successful tender to purchase an additional 26% of the fully diluted outstanding shares of Polaris common stock from Polaris’ public shareholders. The mandatory open offer was conducted in accordance with requirements of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”) and the applicable Indian rules on takeovers. Virtusa India purchased 26,719,942 shares of Polaris common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $89,147 (Indian rupees 5,935,260). Pursuant to the mandatory open offer, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Company transferred $89,220 into an escrow account in accordance with the India takeover rules, which is recorded as restricted cash at March 31, 2016, and the mandatory open offer closed on April 6, 2016. On April 6, 2016, the restricted cash was released from the escrow account and used for settlement for the mandatory open offer.

 

Upon the closing of the mandatory offering, Virtusa’s ownership interest in Polaris increased from approximately 51.7% to 77.7% of Polaris’ fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding, and from approximately 52.9% to 78.8% of Polaris’ basic shares of common stock outstanding. Under applicable Indian rules on takeovers, Virtusa India was required to sell within one year of the settlement of the unconditional mandatory offer its shares of common stock in Polaris in excess of 75% of the basic outstanding shares of common stock of Polaris. In order to comply with the applicable Indian rules on takeovers, during the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company sold 3.7% of its shares of Polaris common stock through a public offering. The sale offer closed on December 14, 2016, and the Company received approximately $7,645 in proceeds, net of $188 in brokerage fees and taxes. In addition to these costs, the Company incurred additional costs of $409 towards professional and legal fees and expense. The Company’s ownership interest in Polaris prior to the sale offer was 78.6% of the outstanding shares of common stock, and upon the closing of the sale offer, the Company’s ownership interest decreased from 78.6% to 74.9% of Polaris’ basic shares of common stock outstanding. In accordance with ASC 810-10, changes in a parent’s ownership, while retaining its financial controlling interest are accounted for as equity transactions.

 

Under the purchase method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values. The Company may continue to adjust the preliminary estimated fair values after obtaining more information regarding asset valuations, liabilities assumed, and revision of preliminary estimates. The following is based on information available at December 31, 2016 and may be subject to change during the measurement period. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded $4,354 and $9,386 to goodwill related to noncontrolling interest and deferred tax liabilities respectively; and $4,624 and $317 as a reduction of goodwill related to fair value adjustment related to certain assets and certain accruals respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the impact to the consolidated statements of income (loss) was not material.

Acquisition costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Noncontrolling interest for the minority shares outstanding  was recorded at fair value, based on the Polaris common stock closing stock price on the date of acquisition and the fair value of vested Polaris stock options exercisable for Polaris common stock were valued based on  the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assets of Polaris acquired, and liabilities assumed by the Company, include net assets of $300 related to a business unit that was sold to a third party on July 8, 2016. To finance the Polaris SPA Transaction, on February 25, 2016, the Company drew down the full $200,000 of the term loan. See Note 11 of the notes to our financial statements included herein for a detail description of our debt.

The acquisition costs and goodwill balance deductible for our business acquisitions for tax purposes are $74,073. The acquisition costs and goodwill balance not deductible for tax purposes are $142,577 and relate to the Company’s TradeTech acquisition (closed on January 2, 2014) and the Polaris acquisition.

 

The Company performed the annual assessment of its goodwill during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 and determined that the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and therefore goodwill was not impaired. The Company will continue to complete goodwill impairment assessments at least annually during the fourth quarter of each ensuing fiscal year. The Company will continue to evaluate 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. Any write-downs are treated as permanent reductions in the carrying amount of the assets.

(9) Income Taxes

 

The Company applies an estimated annual effective tax rate to its year-to-date operating results to determine the interim provision (benefit) for income tax expense.  The Company’s effective tax rate was (34.3)% and (44.3)% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to an effective tax rate of 28.3% and 27.2% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015.  The Company’s reported effective tax rate is impacted by jurisdictional mix of profits and losses in which the Company operates, statutory tax rates in effect, unusual or infrequent discrete items requiring a provision during the period and certain exemptions or tax holidays applicable to the Company.

 

The Company created two export oriented units in India; one in Bangalore during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 and a second unit in Hyderabad (Special Economic Zone or “SEZ”) during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 for which no income tax exemptions were availed. The Company’s Indian subsidiaries also operate two development centers in areas designated as a SEZ, under the SEZ Act of 2005. In particular, the Company was approved as a SEZ Co-developer and has built a campus on a 6.3 acre parcel of land in Hyderabad, India that has been designated as a SEZ. 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 2008. The Company has elected to claim SEZ Co-developer income tax benefits starting in fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. In addition, the Company has leased facilities in SEZ designated locations in Hyderabad and Chennai, India. The Company’s profits from the Hyderabad and Chennai SEZ operations are eligible for certain income tax exemptions for a period of up to 15 years beginning in fiscal March 31, 2009. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the Company leased two facilities in SEZ designated locations, in Bangalore and Pune, India, each of which is eligible for tax holidays for up to 15 years beginning in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Company expanded its facilities in Hyderabad to create a third export oriented unit and received approval for SEZ benefits for a period up to 15 years. The Company’s India profits ineligible for SEZ benefits are subject to corporate income tax at the current rate of 34.6%. Based on the latest changes in tax laws, book profits of SEZ units are subject to Indian Minimum Alternative Tax (“MAT”), commencing April 1, 2011, which will continue to negatively impact the Company’s cash flows.

 

In addition, the Company’s Sri Lankan subsidiary, Virtusa (Private) Limited, is operating under a 12-year income tax holiday arrangement that is set to expire on March 31, 2019 and required Virtusa (Private) Limited to retain certain job creation and investment criteria through the expiration of the holiday period. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Company believed it has fulfilled its hiring and investment commitments and is eligible for tax holiday through March 2019. The current agreement provides income tax exemption for all export business income. On September 30, 2015, the Company received confirmation for the Board of Investments that it has satisfied investment criteria through March 31, 2015 and is eligible for holiday benefits. At December 31, 2016, the Company believes it is eligible for continued benefits for the entire 12 year tax holiday.

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate is based on the composition of estimated income in different jurisdictions, including those where the Company is enjoying tax holidays, for the applicable fiscal year and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods, for unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain income tax positions or other discrete items required to be reported during interim periods. The Company’s aggregate income tax rate in foreign jurisdictions is lower than its income tax rate in the United States due primarily to lower rates generally in jurisdictions in which the Company operates and applicable tax holiday benefits of the Company, obtained primarily in India and Sri Lanka.

 

A valuation allowance is required if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not, that all or some portion of the asset will not be realized due to the inability of the Company to generate sufficient taxable income. Net income in the United States has decreased during the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The Company has a significant deferred tax asset in the United States at December 31, 2016.  We continue to monitor all positive and negative evidence related to this asset.  At December 31, 2016, the Company determined that a specific valuation allowance was not required.

 

Unrecognized tax benefits represent uncertain tax positions for which the Company has established reserves. At December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the total liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $6,576 and $6,693. Unrecognized tax benefits may be adjusted upon the closing of the statute of limitations for income tax returns filed in various jurisdictions. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $117 and increased by $100 during the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in unrecognized tax benefits in the nine months period ending December 31, 2016,  was predominantly due to release of a prior period US tax position, offset by increases for incremental interest accrued on existing uncertain tax positions. The increase in unrecognized tax benefits in the nine months period ending December 31, 2015, was predominantly due to increases for incremental interest accrued on existing uncertain tax positions and a prior period tax position in a foreign jurisdiction.

 

Undistributed Earnings of Foreign Subsidiaries

 

A substantial amount of the Company’s income before provision for income tax is from operations earned in its Indian and Sri Lankan subsidiaries and is subject to tax holiday. The Company intends to use accumulated and future earnings of foreign subsidiaries to expand operations outside the United States and, accordingly, undistributed income is considered to be indefinitely reinvested. The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on foreign earnings. At December 31, 2016, the Company had $360,220 of unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries and approximately $144,676 of cash, short-term investments and long-term investments that would otherwise be available for potential distribution, if not indefinitely reinvested. If required, such cash and investments could be repatriated to the United States. However, under current law, any repatriation would be subject to United States federal income tax less applicable foreign tax credits. Due to the various methods by which such earnings could be repatriated in the future, the amount of taxes attributable to the undistributed earnings is not practicably determinable.

(11) Debt

 

On February 25, 2016, in connection with the Polaris SPA Transaction, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of February 25, 2016, by and among the Company, its guarantor subsidiaries a party thereto, the lenders a party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as joint book runners and lead arrangers. The Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s existing $25,000 credit agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and provides for a $100,000 revolving credit facility and a $200,000 delayed-draw term loan (together, the “Credit Facility”). To finance the Polaris SPA Transaction, on February 25, 2016, the Company drew down the full $200,000 of the term loan. Interest under these facilities accrues at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus 2.75%, subject to step-downs based on the Company’s ratio of debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock compensation expense (“EBITDA”). The Company is required under the terms of the Credit Agreement to make quarterly principle payments on the term loan. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, the Company is required to make principle payments of $2,500 per quarter. The Credit Agreement includes customary minimum cash, maximum debt to EBITDA and minimum fixed charge coverage covenants. The term of the Credit Agreement is five years ending February 24, 2021. At December 31, 2016, the interest rate on the Credit Facility was 3.27% and there were no borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

 

The Credit Agreement has financial covenants that require that the Company maintain a Total Leverage Ratio, commencing on December 31, 2016, of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 for the first year of the Credit Facility, of not more than 3.00 to 1.00 for the second year of the Credit Facility, and 2.75 to 1.00 thereafter, each as determined for the four consecutive quarter period ending on each fiscal quarter (the “Reference Period”). In addition, for a period, expected to be at least one year from the completion of the Company’s closing of the Polaris SPA Transaction, until the occurrence of certain events described in the Credit Agreement, at any time when the Total Leverage Ratio exceeds 1.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of a quarter, the Company must maintain at least $30,000 in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and certain permitted investments under the Credit Facility held in bank deposits in the U.S., and $20,000 in unrestricted cash and certain permitted investments under the Credit Facility and long-term securities investments held in accordance with the Company’s current investment policy. The financial covenants also require that the Company maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, commencing on December 31, 2016, of not less than 1.25 to 1.00, as of the last day of any Reference Period. For purposes of these covenants, “Total Leverage Ratio” means, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the reference period ended on such date. “Funded Debt” refers generally to total indebtedness to third-parties for borrowed money, capital leases, deferred purchase price and earn-out obligations and related guarantees and “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as consolidated net income plus (a) (i) GAAP depreciation and amortization, (ii) non-cash equity-based compensation expenses, (iii) fees and expenses incurred during such period in connection with the Credit Facility and loans made thereunder, (iv) fees and expenses incurred during such period in connection with any permitted acquisition, (v) one-time regulatory charges,

Table of Contents

 

(vi) other extraordinary and non-recurring losses or expenses, and (vii) all other non-cash charges, expenses and losses for such period, minus (b) (i) extraordinary or non-recurring income or gains for such period, and (ii) any cash payments made during such period in respect of non-cash charges, expenses or losses described in clauses (a)(ii), (a)(v) and (a)(vi) above taken in a prior period, subject to other adjustments and certain caps and limits on adjustments. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is calculated under the Credit Agreement generally as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA, excluding capital expenditures made during such period (to the extent not financed with indebtedness (other than Revolving Loans), an issuance of equity interests or capital contributions, or proceeds of asset sales, the proceeds of casualty insurance used to replace or restore assets), to fixed charges (regularly scheduled consolidated interest expense paid in cash, regularly scheduled amortization payments on indebtedness in cash, income taxes paid in cash and the interest component of capital lease obligation payments), on a consolidated basis.

 

The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including all intellectual property and all securities in domestic subsidiaries (other than certain domestic subsidiaries where the material assets of such subsidiaries are equity in foreign subsidiaries), subject to customary exceptions and exclusions from the collateral. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s material direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, with certain exceptions. These guarantees are secured by substantially all of the present and future property and assets of the guarantors, with certain exclusions.

 

At December 31, 2016, we are in compliance with our debt covenants and have provided a quarterly certification to our lenders to that effect. We believe that we currently meet all conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement to borrow thereunder and we are not aware of any conditions that would prevent us from borrowing part or all of the remaining available capacity under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2016 and through the date of this filing.

In accordance with the recently adopted FASB ASU 2015-03, the Company has presented debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of that debt liability.

 

On July 26, 2016, the Company entered into two 12-month forward starting interest rate swap transactions and on July 28, 2016, the Company entered into a third 12-month forward starting interest rate swap transaction to mitigate Company’s interest rate risk on 50% of Company’s variable rate debt (collectively, “The Interest Rate Swap Agreements”). The Company’s objective is to limit the variability of cash flows associated with changes in LIBOR interest rate payments due on the Credit Agreement by using pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps to offset the future variable rate interest payments.  The Company will recognize these transactions in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging,” and have designated the swaps as cash flow hedges.

 

The three Interest Rate Swap Agreements have an effective date of July 31, 2017 and a maturity date of July 31, 2020. The swaps have an aggregate beginning notional amount of $93,800 and hedge approximately 50% of our forecasted outstanding debt balance as of July 31, 2017. The notional amount of the swaps amortizes over the three swap periods corresponding to the quarterly principle payments on the term loan. The Interest Rate Swap Agreements require the Company to make monthly fixed interest rate payments based on the amortized notional amount at a blended weighted average rate of 1.025% and the Company will receive 1-month LIBOR on the same notional amounts. The unrealized gain associated with the 2015 Swap Agreement was $1,723 at December 31, 2016, which represents the estimated amount that the Company would receive from the counterparties in the event of an early termination.

Beginning in fiscal 2009, the Company’s U.K. subsidiary entered into an agreement with an unrelated financial institution to sell, without recourse or continuing involvement, certain of its European-based accounts receivable balances from one client to such third party financial institution. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, $16,426 of receivables were sold under the terms of the financing agreement. Fees paid pursuant to this agreement were immaterial during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016. No amounts were due as of December 31, 2016, 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 utilized in the future.

In addition, on April 6, 2016, as part of the Polaris acquisition, Virtusa India completed an unconditional mandatory open offer (the “Mandatory Tender Offer”) with successful tender to purchase an additional 26% of the fully diluted outstanding shares of Polaris common stock from Polaris’ public shareholders. The Mandatory Tender Offer was conducted in accordance with requirements of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”) and the applicable Indian rules on takeovers. Virtusa India purchased 26,719,942 shares of Polaris common stock for approximately $3.25 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $89.1 million (Indian rupees 5,935 million) inclusive of transaction costs. Upon the closing of the Mandatory Tender Offer, Virtusa India’s ownership interest in Polaris increased from approximately 51.7% to 77.7% of Polaris’ fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding, and from approximately 52.9% to 78.8% of Polaris’ basic shares of common stock outstanding. Under applicable Indian rules on takeovers, Virtusa India was required to sell within one year of the settlement of the Mandatory Tender Offer its shares of common stock in Polaris in excess of 75% of the basic outstanding share capital of Polaris. In order to comply with the applicable Indian rules on takeovers, during the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company sold 3.7% of its shares of Polaris common stock through a public sale offer. The sale offer closed on December 14, 2016, and the Company received approximately $7.7 million in proceeds, net of $0.2 million in brokerage fees and taxes. In addition to these costs, the Company incurred additional professional and legal fees and expenses of $0.4 million. The Company’s ownership interest in Polaris prior to the sale offer was 78.6% of the outstanding shares of common stock, and upon the closing of the sale offer, the Company’s ownership interest decreased from 78.6% to 74.9% of Polaris’ basic shares of common stock outstanding.

 

To finance the Polaris acquisition, on February 25, 2016, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, its guarantor subsidiaries a party thereto, the lenders a party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as joint book runners and lead arrangers. The Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s existing $25.0 million credit agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and provides for a $100.0 million revolving credit facility and a $200.0 million delayed-draw term loan (together, the “Credit Facility”). In connection with the Polaris acquisition, on February 25, 2016, the Company drew down the full $200.0 million of the term loan. Interest under these facilities accrues at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus 2.75%, subject to step-downs based on the Company’s ratio of debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock compensation expense (“EBITDA”). We are required under the terms of the Credit Agreement to make quarterly principle payments on the term loan. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, we are required to make principle payments of $2.5 million per quarter. The Credit Agreement includes customary minimum cash, maximum debt to EBITDA and minimum fixed charge coverage covenants. The term of the Credit Agreement is five years, ending February 24, 2021.

 

In connection with, and as part of the Polaris acquisition, on November 5, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment with Citigroup Technology, Inc. (“Citi”) and Polaris, which became effective upon the closing of the Polaris SPA Transaction, pursuant to which, (i) Citi agreed to appoint the Company and Polaris as a preferred vendor for Global Technology Resource Strategy (“GTRS”) for the provision of IT services to Citi on an enterprise wide basis (“GTRS Preferred Vendor”), (ii) the Company agreed to certain productivity savings and associated reduced spend commitments for a period of two years, which, if not achieved, would require the Company to provide certain minimum discounts to Citi, (iii) the parties amended Polaris’ master services agreement with Citi such that the Company would also be deemed a contracting party and the Company would assume, and agree to perform, or cause Polaris to perform, all applicable obligations under the master services agreement, as amended by the amendment (the “Citi/Virtusa MSA”), and (iv) Virtusa agreed to terminate Virtusa’s existing master services agreement with Citi, and have the Citi/Virtusa MSA be the sole surviving agreement.

 

In the three months ended December 31, 2016, our revenue increased by 44% to $217.2 million, compared to $150.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015. In the nine months ended December 31, 2016, our revenue increased by 48% to $632.8 million, compared to $428.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2015.

 

In the three months ended December 31, 2016, net income decreased by 61% to $4.4 million, as compared to a net income of $11.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015. Net income decreased by 96% from $32.5 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2015 to a net income of $1.4 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2016.

 

The increase in revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, primarily resulted from:

 

·                 Revenue generated from clients acquired by us in the acquisition of Polaris on March 3, 2016

 

·                 Revenue growth primarily in media information and other (“M&I”) partially offset by a decrease in banking, financial services and insurance (“BFSI”) revenue

 

·                 Revenue increases are partially offset by the substantial depreciation in the U.K. pound sterling

 

The key drivers of the decrease in our net income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 were as follows:

 

·                 Decreases in BFSI revenue, particularly in our insurance industry group

 

·                 Slight increase in gross profit, while at lower gross margin, reflective of lower utilization and higher costs of revenue which includes investments to deliver key digital transformation programs to our clients, which require higher onsite effort and contractor resourcing before we can fully leverage our global delivery model

 

24



Table of Contents

 

·                 Substantial depreciation in the U.K. pound sterling (“GBP”) which impacted our U.K. based revenues when consolidating into U.S. dollar and costs of revenue when converting Indian rupee denominated costs into GBP under our transfer pricing model

 

·                  Higher operating costs, including an increased investment in our sales and business development organization and facilities to support our growth and acquisition related amortization

 

·                  Interest expense related to our outstanding term loan under our Credit Agreement

 

High repeat business and client concentration are common in our industry. During the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 80% and 84%, respectively, of our revenue was derived from clients who had been using our services for more than one year. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 82% and 86%, respectively, of our revenue was derived from clients who had been using our services for more than one year. The decrease was primarily driven by a new base of clients acquired from Polaris on March 3, 2016. 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.

 

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. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, our application outsourcing and consulting revenue represented 58% and 42%, respectively of our total revenue as compared to 55% and 45%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2015. For the nine months ended December 31, 2016, our application outsourcing and consulting revenue represented 58% and 42%, respectively, of our total revenue as compared to 55% and 45%, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2015.

 

In the three months ended December 31, 2016, our European revenue increased by 42%, or $14.4 million, to $48.7 million, or 22% of total revenue, from $34.3 million, or 23% of total revenue in the three months ended December 31, 2015. In the nine months ended December 31, 2016, our European revenue increased by 47%, or $45.5 million, to $142.2 million, or 22% of total revenue, from $96.7 million, or 23% of total revenue in the nine months ended December 31, 2015.The increase in revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 is primarily due to European revenue from clients acquired as part of the Polaris acquisition, partially offset by substantial depreciation of the U.K. pound sterling.

 

Our gross profit increased by $8.7 million to $62.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to $53.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015. Our gross profit increased by $21.3 million to $172.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $150.7 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2015. The increase in gross profit during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, was primarily due to higher revenue, primarily from the Polaris acquisition, offset by higher costs of revenue which includes substantially higher on-site effort, lower utilization and depreciation in the U.K. pound sterling. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin was 28.7% and 35.7% in the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, was 27.2% and 35.2%, respectively.

 

We perform our services under both time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts. Revenue from fixed-price contracts represented 43% and 40% of total revenue, and revenue from time-and-materials contracts represented 57% and 60% of total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Revenue from fixed-price contracts represented 43% and 39% of total revenue and revenue from time-and-materials contracts represented 57% and 61% for the nine months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The revenue earned from fixed-price contracts in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016 primarily reflects our client preferences.

 

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, 2016, our attrition rate for the trailing 12 months, which reflects voluntary and involuntary attrition and was approximately 26.8%, of which 7.7% relates to implementation of certain cost saving and restructuring initiatives. Our attrition rate at December 31, 2016 reflects a higher rate of attrition as compared to the corresponding prior year period. Although we remain committed to continuing to improve our voluntary attrition levels, there is 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 fluctuations in the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar and U.K. pound sterling, as well as the euro, Swedish krona and the U.K. pound sterling against the U.S. dollar, when consolidated into U.S. dollars and intercompany balances. In addition, as part of the Polaris acquisition, the Company has assumed a cash flow program designed to mitigate the impact of the volatility of the translation of Polaris U.S. dollar denominated revenue into Indian rupees to reduce the effect of change in these foreign currency exchange rates on our foreign operations. 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, U.K. pound sterling, euro and Swedish krona exchange rates, they not only reduce the negative impact of a stronger Indian rupee, weaker U.K. pound sterling, weaker euro and weaker Swedish krona, but also could reduce the positive impact of a weaker Indian rupee on our Indian rupee expenses or reduce the impact of a stronger U.K. pound sterling,  stronger euro or stronger Swedish krona on our U.K. pound sterling, euro and Swedish krona

denominated revenues. 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.

 

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, including the recoverability of tangible assets, 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 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 liabilities, contingent consideration both upon and subsequent to acquisitions and valuation of financial instruments including derivative contracts and investments. 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 these critical accounting policies may be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section included in the Annual Report.

Revenue

 

Revenue increased by 44.2%, or $66.6 million, from $150.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2015 to $217.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by revenue generated from clients acquired by us in the acquisition of Polaris and revenue growth primarily in our M&I industry group, partially offset by a decrease in our BFSI revenue and by the substantial depreciation in the U.K. pound sterling. Revenue from North American clients in the three months ended December 31, 2016 increased by $35.0 million, or 33.1%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to revenue generated from clients acquired by us in the acquisition of Polaris and revenue growth primarily in our M&I industry group, partially offset by a decrease in our BFSI revenue. Revenue from European clients increased by $14.4 million, or 41.9%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to European revenue from clients acquired as part of the Polaris acquisition, partially offset by the substantial depreciation of the U.K. pound sterling. We had 189 active clients, including 45 clients from the Polaris acquisition, at December 31, 2016, as compared to 131 active clients at December 31, 2015.

 

Costs of revenue

 

Costs of revenue increased from $96.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015 to $154.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $57.9 million, or 59.8%, which includes a benefit of $3.3 million due to the depreciation of the Indian rupee. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily due to the acquisition of Polaris, including an increase in the number of IT professionals and related compensation and benefit costs of $47.3 million, including higher onsite costs and lower utilization. The increased costs of revenue are also due to an increase in subcontractor costs of $7.6 million and an increase in travel expenses of $1.9 million. At December 31, 2016, we had 15,805 IT professionals inclusive of our Polaris team members as compared to 9,512 at December 31, 2015.

The decrease in the tax expense and effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was primarily due to a decrease in income from operations and geographical mix of profits, offset by certain foreign currency translation losses with no corresponding tax benefit.

 

Noncontrolling interests

 

In connection with the Polaris acquisition, for the three months ended December 31, 2016, we recorded a noncontrolling interest of $ 1.1 million, representing a 22.1 % share of profits of Polaris held by parties other than Virtusa.

 

Net income attributable to Virtusa stockholders

 

Net income decreased by 51.0%, from $11.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015 to $5.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2016 driven by lower utilization, higher on-site efforts, substantial depreciation of the U.K. pound sterling, higher operating costs, and interest expense related to our term loan, and foreign currency transaction losses.

The increase in revenue was primarily driven by revenue generated from clients acquired by us in the acquisition of Polaris and revenue growth primarily in our M&I industry group, partially offset by a decrease in our BFSI revenue and by substantial depreciation in the U.K. pound sterling. Revenue from North American clients in the nine months ended December 31, 2016 increased by $106.8 million, or 35.1%, as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to revenue generated from clients acquired by us in the acquisition of Polaris and revenue growth primarily in our M&I industry group, partially offset by a decrease in our BFSI revenue.

Liquidity and capital resources

 

We have financed our operations primarily from sales of shares of common stock, cash from operations and debt financing.

 

In November 2016, we implemented certain cost saving and restructuring initiatives. During the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company incurred costs of $1.9 million primarily related to one-time termination benefits, out of which we

paid $0.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 2016 and expected to pay $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017. In addition, the Company expects to incur additional restructuring costs of approximately $0.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

On March 3, 2016, Virtusa Consulting Services Private Limited (“Virtusa India”), a subsidiary of Virtusa Corporation (“Virtusa” or the “Company”), purchased 53,133,127 shares, or approximately 51.7%, of the fully-diluted common stock  of Polaris Consulting & Services Limited (“Polaris”) from certain Polaris shareholders for approximately $168.3 million in cash (the “Polaris SPA Transaction”) pursuant to a definitive share purchase agreement (“SPA”) by and among Virtusa India, the Polaris founding shareholders, promoters, and certain other Polaris minority stockholders, which was entered into on November 5, 2015. On April 6, 2016, Virtusa India completed its purchase of an additional 26.0% of the fully diluted outstanding shares of common stock of Polaris from Polaris public shareholders for approximately $89.1 million, inclusive of transaction costs, in cash under a mandatory tender open offer as required under applicable India takeover rules. Pursuant to the mandatory offer, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Company transferred $89.2 million into an escrow account in accordance with the India takeover rules, which is recorded as restricted cash at March 31, 2016. On April 6, 2016, the restricted cash was released from the escrow account and used for settlement for the mandatory open offer.

 

In order to comply with the applicable Indian rules on takeovers, during the three months ended December 31, 2016, the Company sold 3.7% of its shares of Polaris common stock through a public sale offer. The sale offer closed on December 14, 2016 and the Company received approximately $7.6 million in proceeds, net of $0.2 million in brokerage fees and taxes. In addition to these costs, the Company incurred additional professional and legal costs of $0.4 million. The Company’s ownership interest in Polaris prior to the sale offer was 78.6% and upon the closing of the sale offer, the Company’s ownership interest decreased from 78.6% to 74.9% of Polaris’ basic shares of common stock outstanding.

 

To finance the Polaris acquisition, on February 25, 2016, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, its guarantor subsidiaries a party thereto, the lenders a party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as joint book runners and lead arrangers. The Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s existing $25.0 million credit agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and provides for a $100.0 million revolving credit facility and a $200.0 million delayed-draw term loan (together, the “Credit Facility”). In connection with the Polaris acquisition, on February 25, 2016, the Company drew down the full $200.0 million of the term loan. Interest under these facilities accrues at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus 2.75%, subject to step-downs based on the Company’s ratio of debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock compensation expense (“EBITDA”). We are required under the terms of the Credit Agreement to make quarterly principle payments on the term loan. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 we are required to make principle payments of $2.5 million per quarter. The Credit Agreement includes customary minimum cash, maximum debt to EBITDA and minimum fixed charge coverage covenants. The term of the Credit Agreement is five years, ending February 24, 2021.

 

The Credit Agreement has financial covenants that require that the Company maintain a Total Leverage Ratio, commencing on December 31, 2016, of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 for the first year of the Credit Facility, of not more than 3.00 to 1.00 for the second year of the Credit Facility, and 2.75 to 1.00 thereafter, each as determined for the four consecutive quarter period ending on each fiscal quarter (the “Reference Period”). In addition, for a period, expected to be at least one year from the completion of the Company’s closing of the Polaris SPA Transaction, until the occurrence of certain events described in the Credit Agreement, at any time when the Total Leverage Ratio exceeds 1.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of a quarter, the Company must maintain at least $30.0 million in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and certain permitted investments under the Credit Facility held in bank deposits in the U.S., and $20.0 million in unrestricted cash and certain permitted investments under the Credit Facility and long-term securities investments held in accordance with the Company’s current investment policy. The financial covenants also require that the Company maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, commencing on December 31, 2016, of not less than 1.25 to 1.00, as of the last day of any Reference Period. For purposes of these covenants, “Total Leverage Ratio” means, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of Funded Debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the reference period ended on such date. “Funded Debt” refers generally to total indebtedness to third-parties for borrowed money, capital leases, deferred purchase price and earn-out obligations and related guarantees and “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as consolidated net income plus (a) (i) GAAP depreciation and amortization, (ii) non-cash equity-based compensation expenses, (iii) fees and expenses incurred during such period in connection with the Credit Facility and loans made thereunder, (iv) fees and expenses incurred during such period in connection with any permitted acquisition, (v) one-time regulatory charges, (vi) other extraordinary and non-recurring losses or expenses, and (vii) all other non-cash charges, expenses and losses for such period, minus (b) (i) extraordinary or non-recurring income or gains for such period, and (ii) any cash payments made during such period in respect of non-cash charges, expenses or losses described in clauses (a)(ii), (a)(v) and (a)(vi) above taken in a prior period, subject to other adjustments and certain caps and limits on adjustments. The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is calculated under the Credit Agreement generally as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA, excluding capital expenditures made during such period (to the extent not financed with indebtedness (other than Revolving Loans), an issuance of equity interests or capital contributions, or proceeds of asset sales, the proceeds of casualty insurance used to replace or restore assets), to fixed charges (regularly scheduled

consolidated interest expense paid in cash, regularly scheduled amortization payments on indebtedness in cash, income taxes paid in cash and the interest component of capital lease obligation payments), on a consolidated basis.

 

The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including all intellectual property and all securities in domestic subsidiaries (other than certain domestic subsidiaries where the material assets of such subsidiaries are equity in foreign subsidiaries), subject to customary exceptions and exclusions from the collateral. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s material direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, with certain exceptions. These guarantees are secured by substantially all of the present and future property and assets of the guarantors, with certain exclusions.

 

At December 31, 2016, we are in compliance with our debt covenants and have provided a quarterly certification to our lenders to that effect. We believe that we currently meet all conditions set forth in the credit agreement to borrow thereunder and we are not aware of any conditions that would prevent us from borrowing part or all of the remaining available capacity under the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2016 and through the date of this filing.

 

On July 26, 2016, we entered into two 12-month forward starting interest rate swap transactions and, on July 28, 2016, we entered into a third 12-month forward starting interest rate swap transaction to mitigate our interest rate risk on 50% of our variable rate debt (collectively, “The Interest Rate Swap Agreements”). Our objective is to limit the variability of cash flows associated with changes in LIBOR interest rate payments due on the Credit Agreement by using pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps to offset the future variable rate interest payments.  We will recognize these transactions in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging,” and have designated the swaps as cash flow hedges.

 

The Interest Rate Swap Agreements have an effective date of July 31, 2017 and a maturity date of July 31, 2020. The swaps have an aggregate beginning notional amount of $93.8 million and hedge approximately 50% of our forecasted outstanding debt balance as of July 31, 2017. The notional amount of the swaps amortizes over the three swap periods corresponding to the quarterly principle payments on the term loan. The Interest Rate Swap Agreements require us to make monthly fixed interest rate payments based on the amortized notional amount at a blended weighted average rate of 1.025% and we will receive 1-month LIBOR on the same notional amounts.

 

The counterparties to the Interest Rate Swap Agreements could demand an early termination of the 2016 Swap Agreements if we are in default under the Credit Agreement, or any agreement that amends or replaces the Credit Agreement in which the counterparty is a member, and we are unable to cure the default.  An event of default under the  Credit Agreement includes customary events of default and failure to comply with financial covenants, including a maximum consolidated leverage ratio commencing on December 31, 2016, of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 for the first year of the Credit Agreement, of not more than 3.00 to 1.00 for the second year of the Credit Agreement, and 2.75 to 1.00 thereafter, each as determined for the four consecutive quarter period ending on each fiscal quarter and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2016, we were in compliance with these covenants. The unrealized gain associated with the 2015 Swap Agreement was $1.7 million as of December 31, 2016, which represents the estimated amount that we would receive from the counterparties in the event of an early termination.

 

At December 31, 2016, a significant portion of our cash and short-term investments was held by our foreign subsidiaries. We continually monitor our cash needs and employ tax planning and financing strategies to ensure cash is available in the appropriate jurisdictions to meet operating needs. The cash held by our foreign subsidiaries is considered indefinitely reinvested in local operations. If required, it could be repatriated to the United States. However, under current law, any repatriation would be subject to United States federal income tax less applicable foreign tax credits.

 

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 the financial institution. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, we sold $16.4 million of receivables under the terms of the financing agreement. Fees paid pursuant to this agreement were not material during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016. No amounts were due under the financing agreement at December 31, 2016, 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.

Operating activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased in the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2015, primarily driven by a decrease in net income during the nine months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2015.

 

Investing activities

 

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities increased from cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended December 31, 2015 to cash provided by investing activities in the nine months ended December 31, 2016.   Net cash provided by investing activities is primarily due to a decrease in restricted cash related to the Polaris mandatory offering and a decrease in business acquisition payments.

 

Financing activities

 

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities decreased from cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended December 31, 2015 to cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended December 31, 2016.  Net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the acquisition of noncontrolling interest related to Polaris and payments related to our term loan, partially offset by cash proceeds from the Polaris stock sale.

 

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

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

 

We maintain 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 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” 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, euro and Swedish Krona against the U.S. dollar, or the U.K. pound sterling against the Sri Lankan rupee, and other multiple foreign currency hedges designed to hedge foreign currency transaction gains and losses on our intercompany balances as well as to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency denominated revenue and expenses. 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 May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on April 1, 2018. Early application is permitted but not before periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB issued updates to the new revenue standard to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations for reporting revenue gross versus net, identifying performance obligations, accounting for licenses of intellectual property, transition, contract modifications, collectability, non-cash consideration and presentation of sales and other similar taxes with the same effective date. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-01) to the standard on financial instruments. The update significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The update also amends certain disclosure requirements. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption, entities will be required to make a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. However, the specific guidance on equity securities without readily determinable fair value will apply prospectively to all equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. Early adoption of certain sections of this update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the new standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued as update (ASU 2016-02) to the standard on leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. The new standard replaces the existing guidance on leases and requires the lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with lease terms equal to or greater than twelve months. For finance leases, the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset, and for operating leases, the lessee would recognize total lease expense on a straight-line basis. For public business entities this standard is effective for the annual periods beginning after

December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption of this new standard is permitted. Entities will be required to use a modified retrospective transition which provides for certain practical expedients. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-05) to the standard on derivatives and hedging on the effect of derivative contract notations on existing hedge accounting relationships. As it relates to derivative instruments, novation refers to replacing one of the parties to a derivative instrument with a new party, which may occur for a variety of reasons such as: financial institution mergers, intercompany transactions, an entity exiting a particular derivatives business or relationship, or because of laws or regulatory requirements. The update clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require designation of that hedge accounting relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after January 1, 2017. Upon adoption, the entities can choose to apply on either a prospective basis or a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption of this update is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-09) to the standard on Compensation—Stock Compensation, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. Upon adoption, entities will be required to apply a modified retrospective, prospective or retrospective transition method depending on the specific section of the guidance being adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the update will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. This standard update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). This update is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and payments are classified in the statement of cash flows. This standard update addresses eight specific cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, the settlement of contingent liabilities arising from a business combination, proceeds from insurance settlements, and distributions from certain equity method investees. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires application using a retrospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, an update to the standard on income taxes. This new standard requires the recognition of current and deferred income taxes when an intra-entity transfer of assets other than inventory occurs. The update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted in the first interim period. Upon adoption, the entities will be required to use a modified retrospective transition approach.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash (Topic 230), which is intended to reduce diversity in practice on how changes in restricted cash are classified and presented in the statement of cash flows. This ASU requires amounts generally described as restricted cash to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Our market risks, and the ways we manage them, are summarized in Item 7A of the Annual Report. There have been no material changes in the nine months ended December 31, 2016 to such risks or to our management of such risks except for the risks already disclosed in Item 3 of our quarterly filing on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

 

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 protect us from the risk that the recognition of and eventual cash flows related to Indian rupee denominated expenses might be affected by changes in exchange rates. Some of these contracts meet the criteria for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges (See Note 6 of the notes to our financial statements included herein for a description of recent hedging activities).

 

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

 

We have two 18 month rolling programs comprised of a series of foreign exchange forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges. One program is designed to mitigate the impact of volatility in the U.S. dollar equivalent of our Indian rupee denominated expenses. The second program was assumed as part of the Polaris acquisition and is intended to mitigate the volatility of the U.S. dollar denominated revenue that is translated into Indian rupees. The U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of all outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts at December 31, 2016 was $169.1 million. There is no assurance that these hedging programs or hedging contracts will be effective. As these foreign currency hedging programs are designed to reduce volatility in the Indian rupee, they not only reduce the negative impact of a stronger Indian rupee but also reduce the positive impact of a weaker Indian rupee on our Indian rupee 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 than expected.

 

The U.K. pound sterling, Swedish krona and the euro exchange fluctuations can have an unpredictable impact on our U.K. pound sterling, Swedish krona and the euro revenues generated, and costs incurred. 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 Swedish krona as well as the euro. These derivative contracts have maximum duration of 92 days and do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting. Such hedges may not be effective in mitigating this currency volatility.  These hedges are designed to reduce the negative impact of a weaker U.K. pound sterling, Swedish krona or the euro, however they also reduce the positive impact of a stronger U.K. pound sterling, Swedish krona or the euro.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

In connection with the Polaris acquisition, on February 25, 2016, we drew down the full $200.0 million of the term loan under the Credit Facility. Interest under this facility accrues at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus 2.75%, subject to step-downs based on the Company’s ratio of debt to EBITDA. The Credit Agreement includes customary minimum cash, maximum debt to EBITDA and minimum fixed charge coverage covenants—see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources”. The term of the Credit Agreement ends on February 24, 2021. We do not believe we are exposed to material direct risks associated with changes in interest rates other than with respect to our Credit Facility, our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments. To mitigate the Company’s exposure to movements in the one-month London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (LIBOR) rate on future outstanding debt, the Company entered into the Interest Rate Swap Agreements to convert a portion of the Company’s outstanding debt from a floating to a fixed rate of interest (See Note 11 of the notes to our financial statements included herein for a detail description of our debt).

 

At December 31, 2016, we had $237.2 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, preference shares and municipal bonds. 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 at the period end 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 minimum credit rating 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 (“the Exchange Act”), 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, 2016, 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 control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a 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 Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Except for changes made as part of the inclusion of Polaris, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended December 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 2.  Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds; Purchases of Equity Securities By the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

 

Under the terms of our 2007 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“2007 Plan”) and 2015 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”), we have issued shares of restricted stock to our employees. On the date that these restricted shares vest, we automatically withhold, via a net exercise provision pursuant to our applicable restricted stock agreements and the 2007 Plan and 2015 Plan, as the case may be, the number of vested shares (based on the closing price of our common stock on such vesting date) equal to tax liability owed by such grantee. The shares withheld from the grantees under the 2007 Plan or the 2015 Plan, as the case may be, to settle their tax liability are reallocated to the number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan. For the three month period ended December 31, 2016, we withheld an aggregate of 14,230 shares of restricted stock at a price of $22.68 per share.
