DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business
DXC Technology Company ("DXC" or the "Company") is a world leading independent, end-to-end IT services company, serving nearly 6,000 private and public-sector clients from a diverse array of industries across 70 countries. The company's technology independence, global talent and extensive partner network deliver transformative digital offerings and solutions that help clients harness the power of innovation to thrive on change.
Basis of Presentation
In order to make this report easier to read, DXC refers throughout to (i) the interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the “financial statements,” (ii) the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the “statements of operations,” (iii) the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income as the "statements of comprehensive income," (iv) the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the “balance sheets,” and (v) the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the “statements of cash flows.” In addition, references throughout to numbered “Notes” refer to the numbered Notes in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, unless otherwise noted.
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of DXC, its consolidated subsidiaries, and those business entities in which DXC maintains a controlling interest. Investments in business entities in which the Company does not have control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for by the equity method. Other investments are accounted for by the cost method. Non-controlling interests are presented as a separate component within equity in the balance sheets. Net earnings attributable to the non-controlling interests are presented separately in the statements of operations and comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling interests are presented separately in the statements of comprehensive income. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain amounts reported in the previous year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules. These financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 ("fiscal 2018") included in Exhibit 99.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 2018.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions regarding historical experience, currently available information and anticipated developments that it believes are reasonable and appropriate. However, because the use of estimates involves an inherent degree of uncertainty, actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying financial statements of DXC contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 ("fiscal 2019").

Separation of USPS
On May 31, 2018, DXC completed the separation of its U.S. Public Sector business ("USPS") (the "Separation"), and combination with Vencore Holding Corp. ("Vencore") and KeyPoint Government Solutions ("Keypoint") (the "Mergers") to form Perspecta Inc. ("Perspecta"), an independent public company (collectively, the "USPS Separation and Mergers"). Under the terms of the separation agreements, on May 31, 2018, stockholders who held DXC common stock at the close of business on May 25, 2018 (the “Record Date”), received a distribution of one share of Perspecta common stock for every two shares of DXC common stock held as of the Record Date (the "Distribution"). See Note 4 - "Divestitures" for more information.
As a result of the Separation, the statements of operations, balance sheets, and related financial information reflect USPS's operations, assets and liabilities as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The cash flows of USPS have not been segregated and are included in the statements of cash flows for all periods presented. In addition, USPS is no longer a reportable segment. DXC's reportable segments are Global Business Services ("GBS") and Global Infrastructure Services ("GIS").
Revenue Recognition
Effective April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606),” using the modified retrospective method. Refer to Note 2 - “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” and Note 12 - “Revenue” for further discussion of the impact of adoption and other required disclosures. The Company’s accounting policy related to the new revenue standard is summarized below.
The Company's primary service offerings are information technology outsourcing, other professional services, or a combination thereof. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to DXC's customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
DXC determines revenue recognition through the five-step model as follows:
• | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer |
• | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract |
• | Determination of the transaction price |
• | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
• | Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation |
DXC's IT outsourcing arrangements typically reflect a single performance obligation that comprises a series of distinct services which are substantially the same and provided over a period of time using the same measure of progress. Revenue derived from these arrangements is recognized over time based upon the level of services delivered in the distinct periods in which they are provided using an input method based on time increments. DXC's contracts often include upfront fees billed for activities to familiarize DXC with the client's operations, take control over their administration and operation, and adapt them to DXC's solutions. Upfront fees are generally recognized ratably over the contract period, which approximates the manner in which the services are provided. These activities typically do not qualify as performance obligations, and the related revenues are allocated to the relevant performance obligations and recognized ratably over time as the performance obligation is satisfied during the period in which DXC provides the related service, which is typically the life of the contract. Software transactions that include multiple performance obligations are described below.
For contracts with multiple performance obligations, DXC allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Other than software sales involving multiple performance obligations, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin approach, under which the Company forecasts its expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then adds an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service.
The transaction price of a contract is determined based on fixed and variable consideration. Variable consideration related to the Company’s IT outsourcing offerings often include volume-based pricing that are allocated to the distinct days of the
9

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) - continued
services to which the variable consideration pertains. However, in certain cases, estimates of variable consideration, including penalties, contingent milestone payments and rebates are necessary. The Company only includes estimates of variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. These judgments involve consideration of historical and expected experience with the customer and other similar customers, and the facts and circumstances specific to the arrangement.
The Company generally provides its services under time and materials contracts, unit price contracts, fixed-price contracts, and software contracts for which revenue is recognized in the following manner:
Time and materials contracts. Revenue is recognized over time at agreed-upon billing rates when services are provided.
Unit-price contracts. Revenue is recognized over time based on unit metrics multiplied by the agreed upon contract unit price or when services are delivered.
Fixed-price contracts. For certain fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized over time using a method that measures the extent of progress towards completion of a performance obligation, generally using a cost-input method (referred to as the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method). Under the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method, revenue is recognized based on the proportion of total cost incurred to estimated total costs at completion. A performance obligation's estimate at completion includes all direct costs such as materials, labor, subcontractor costs, overhead, and a ratable portion of general and administrative costs. If output or input measures are not available or cannot be reasonably estimated, revenue is deferred until progress can be measured and costs are not deferred unless they meet the criteria for capitalization. Under the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method, progress towards completion is measured based on either achievement of specified contract milestones, costs incurred as a proportion of estimated total costs, or other measures of progress when appropriate. Profit in a given period is reported at the estimated profit margin to be achieved on the overall contract.
Software contracts. Certain of DXC's arrangements involve the sale of DXC proprietary software, post contract customer support, and other software-related services. The standalone selling price generally is determined for each performance obligation using an adjusted market assessment approach based on the price charged where each deliverable is sold separately. In certain limited cases (typically for software licenses) when the historical selling price is highly variable, the residual approach is used. This approach allocates revenue to the performance obligation equal to the difference between the total transaction price and the observable standalone selling prices for the other performance obligations. Revenue from distinct software licenses is recognized at a point in time when the customer can first use the software license. If significant customization is required, software revenue is recognized as the related software customization services are performed in accordance with the percentage-of-completion method described above. Revenue for post contract customer support and other software services is recognized over time as those services are provided.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
DXC does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between when DXC transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
In addition, the Company reports revenue net of any revenue-based taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions, such as sales taxes and value-added taxes.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable (billed receivables, unbilled receivables and contract assets) and deferred revenue and advance contract payments (contract liabilities) on the Company's balance sheets. In arrangements that contain an element of customized software solutions, amounts are generally billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g. monthly) or upon achievement of certain contractual milestones. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, sometimes resulting in contract assets if the related billing is conditional upon more than just the passage of time. However, the Company sometimes receives advances or deposits from customers, before revenue is recognized,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) - continued
which results in the generation of contract liabilities. Payment terms vary by type of product or service being provided as well as by customer, although the term between invoicing and when payment is due is generally an insignificant period of time.
Costs to Obtain a Contract
Certain sales commissions earned by the Company's sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. The majority of sales commissions are paid based on the achievement of quota-based targets. These costs are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over an average period of benefit determined to be five years. The Company determined the period of benefit considering the length of its customer contracts, its technology and other factors. The period of benefit approximates the average stated contract terms, excluding expected future renewals, because sales commissions are paid upon contract renewal in a manner commensurate with the initial commissions. Some commission payments are not capitalized because they are expensed during the fiscal year as the related revenue is recognized. Capitalized sales commissions costs are classified within other assets and amortized in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Costs to Fulfill a Contract
Certain contract setup costs incurred upon initiation or renewal of an outsourcing contract that generate or enhance resources to be used in satisfying future performance obligations are capitalized when they are deemed recoverable. Judgment is applied to assess whether contract setup costs are capitalizable. Costs that generate or enhance resources often pertain to activities that enhance the capabilities of the services, improve customer experience and establish a more effective and efficient IT environment. The Company recognizes these transition and transformation contract costs as intangible assets, which are amortized over the respective contract life.
Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective April 1, 2018, DXC adopted the following Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board:
Date Issued and ASU | Date Adopted and Method | Description | Impact |
May 2014 ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" | April 1, 2018 Modified-retrospective | The core principle of this update, and the subsequent amendments, is that revenue is recognized when the transfer of goods or services to customers occurs in an amount that reflects the consideration to which DXC expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also addresses the timing of recognition of certain costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a customer contract. Further, it requires the disclosure of sufficient information to enable readers of DXC’s financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, and information regarding significant judgments and changes in judgments made. This update provides two methods of adoption: full retrospective and modified retrospective. Under the full retrospective method, the standard would be applied to all periods presented with previously disclosed periods restated under the new guidance. Under the modified retrospective method, prior periods would not be restated but rather a cumulative catch-up adjustment would be recorded on the adoption date. | The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective method. The Company has applied the standard to only those contracts that were not completed at the adoption date. The adoption resulted in the following impacts. The Company recorded a net increase to opening retained earnings, net of income taxes, of approximately $114 million as of April 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting Topic 606, with the impact primarily related to the capitalization of certain sales commissions of approximately $158 million offset by a reduction in income tax assets and liabilities of approximately $40 million. In addition, the Company has recorded a reduction in contract liabilities of approximately $381 million and other current assets and other assets of $385 million, primarily related to the net down of certain long-term contract asset and contract liability balances and the change in timing of revenue and costs recognized related to the Company's software contracts. Refer to Note 12 - “Revenue” for further discussion of the impact of adoption and other required disclosures. |

March 2017 ASU 2017-07 “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" | April 1, 2018 Retrospective | This update is intended to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic post-retirement benefit cost in an entity's financial statements by requiring the service cost component be disaggregated from other components of net benefit costs and presented in the same line item or items as other compensation costs for the employees. Additionally, only the service cost component of net benefit cost is eligible for capitalization when applicable. This update must be applied retrospectively. | DXC reclassified non-service cost components of net periodic pension (income) expense from "costs of services" and "selling, general and administrative" to "other income, net" in the statements of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017. The aggregate service cost component of net periodic pension income remaining in "costs of services" and "selling, general and administrative" is $30 million and $96 million, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, respectively. |
August 2016 ASU 2016-15 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" | April 1, 2018 Retrospective | This update addressed eight cash flow classification issues that have created diversity in practice, providing definitive guidance on classification of certain cash receipts and payments. This update must be adopted retrospectively for all periods presented but may be applied prospectively if retrospective application would be impracticable | ASU 2016-15 requires the company to classify cash receipts related to its beneficial interests in securitization transactions, which is the deferred purchase price (the “DPP”) recorded in connection with the Company's Receivables Securitization Facility, within investing activities in its statements of cash flows. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 effective April 1, 2018, and retrospectively adjusted prior fiscal periods, using each month’s transactional activity as the unit of account in determining the portions of transferred trade receivables as operating activities and investing activities. As disclosed in prior quarters the Company was evaluating the unit of account used in implementing ASU 2016-15. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company completed its evaluation and determined that it was necessary to change the unit of account from each month's transactional activity to each day's transactional activity. The Company reflected this change on a retrospective basis as further discussed in Note 21 - "Reconciliation of Previously Reported Amounts to Recast Financial Statements. See Note 6 - "Sale of Receivables" for more information about the Receivables Securitization Facility. |
November 2016 ASU 2016-18 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force") | April 1, 2018 Retrospective | This update requires that amounts described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents must 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. This update must be applied retrospectively. | DXC reclassified restricted cash to beginning-of-period and end-of-period cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. |

Date Issued and ASU | DXC Effective Date | Description | Impact |
February 2016 ASU 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)" | Fiscal 2020 | This update is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing virtually all lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements. Early adoption of this update is permitted. This update must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition at the beginning of the earliest period presented or at the adoption date recognizing a cumulative adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption and provides for certain practical expedients. | DXC is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this standard will have on its existing accounting policies and the financial statements in future reporting periods. The Company expects there will be a material increase in assets and liabilities on its balance sheets at adoption due to the recording of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities for lease obligations that are currently classified as operating leases. The Company is in the process of implementing changes to its systems, processes and controls, including the implementation of a lease accounting software solution to comply with the new standard. DXC expects to adopt certain transition expedients permitted under Topic 842, as follows: DXC expects to adopt this standard on a modified retrospective basis beginning on the adoption date, with comparative period disclosures following ASC 840 requirements. DXC does not expect to reassess lease determination, lease classification or indirect cost capitalization for leases that commenced prior to the adoption date. DXC does not expect to recognize on the balance sheet leases that both (i) have a ‘lease term’ of 12 months or less and (ii) do not contain a ‘reasonably certain’ purchase option. |
August 2017 ASU 2017-12 "Derivatives & Hedging (Topic 815)" | Fiscal 2020 with early adoption expected in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019 | This update is intended to improve the financial reporting of hedge relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements, by revising and expanding items eligible for hedge accounting, simplifying hedge effectiveness testing and changing the timing of recognition and presentation of certain hedge items. Early adoption is permitted. | DXC does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements. DXC expects to adopt this standard on a modified retrospective basis. |
Other recently issued ASUs effective after December 31, 2018 are not expected to have a material effect on DXC's consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 - Acquisitions
Fiscal 2019 Acquisitions
Molina Medicaid Solutions Acquisition
On October 1, 2018, DXC completed its acquisition of Molina Medicaid Solutions ("MMS"), a Medicaid Management Information Systems business, from Molina Healthcare, Inc. for total consideration of $232 million. The combination of MMS with DXC expands DXC’s ability to provide services to state agencies in the administration of Medicaid programs, including business processing, information technology development and administrative services.
The Company’s purchase price allocation for the MMS acquisition is preliminary and subject to revision as additional information related to the fair value of assets and liabilities becomes available. The preliminary purchase price was based upon the current determination of fair values at the date of acquisition as follows: $93 million to current assets,

$69 million to intangible assets other than goodwill, $11 million to other assets, $45 million to current liabilities, $19 million to other liabilities and $123 million to goodwill. The goodwill is associated with the Company's GBS segment and is tax deductible. The amortizable lives associated with the intangible assets acquired includes customer relationships and developed technology which have a 13-year weighted average estimated useful life.
Other Acquisitions
In addition to the MMS acquisition, DXC completed six acquisitions to complement the Company's Microsoft Dynamics and ServiceNow offerings and to provide opportunities for future growth. The acquired businesses are included in the results for the GBS segment. The purchase consideration of $193 million included cash of $152 million and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $41 million. The Company's purchase price allocation for these acquisitions is preliminary and subject to revision as additional information related to the fair value of assets and liabilities become available.
Fiscal 2018 Acquisitions
HPES Merger
On April 1, 2017, Computer Sciences Corporation ("CSC"), Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (“HPE”), Everett SpinCo, Inc. (“Everett”), and New Everett Merger Sub Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Everett (“Merger Sub”), completed the strategic combination of CSC with the Enterprise Services business of HPE to form DXC (the "HPES Merger"). The combination was accomplished through a series of transactions that included the transfer by HPE of its Enterprise Services business, HPES, to Everett, and spin-off by HPE of Everett on March 31, 2017, and the merger of Merger Sub with and into CSC on April 1, 2017. At the time of the HPES Merger, Everett was renamed DXC, and as a result of the HPES Merger, CSC became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of DXC. DXC common stock began regular-way trading on the New York Stock Exchange on April 3, 2017. The strategic combination of the two complementary businesses was to create a versatile global technology services business, well positioned to innovate, compete and serve clients in a rapidly changing marketplace.
The transaction involving HPES and CSC was a reverse merger acquisition, in which DXC was considered the legal acquirer of the business and CSC was considered the accounting acquirer. While purchase consideration transferred in a business combination is typically measured by reference to the fair value of equity issued or other assets transferred by the accounting acquirer, CSC did not issue any consideration in the HPES Merger. CSC stockholders received one share of DXC common stock for every one share of CSC common stock held immediately prior to the HPES Merger. DXC issued a total of 141,298,797 shares of DXC common stock to CSC stockholders, representing approximately 49.9% of the outstanding shares of DXC common stock immediately following the HPES Merger.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, total consideration exchanged was:
(in millions) | Amount | |||
Fair value of purchase consideration received by HPE stockholders(1) | $ | 9,782 | ||
Fair value of HPES options assumed by CSC(2) | 68 | |||
Total consideration transferred | $ | 9,850 |
(1) | Represents the fair value of consideration received by HPE stockholders to give them 50.1% ownership in the combined company. The fair value of the purchase consideration transferred was based on a total of 141,865,656 shares of DXC common stock distributed to HPE stockholders as of the close of business on the record date (141,741,712 after the effect of 123,944 cancelled shares) at CSC's closing price of $69.01 per share on March 31, 2017. |
(2) | Represents the fair value of certain stock-based awards of HPES employees that were unexercised on March 31, 2017, which were converted to DXC stock-based awards. |

The purchase price allocation for the HPES Merger was finalized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company's allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the HPES Merger date is as follows:
(in millions) | Fair Value | |||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 938 | ||
Accounts receivable(1) | 4,102 | |||
Other current assets | 530 | |||
Total current assets | 5,570 | |||

Intangible assets | 6,384 | |||
Other assets | 1,571 | |||
Total assets acquired | 16,106 | |||
Accounts payable, accrued payroll, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities | (4,605 | ) | ||
Deferred revenue | (1,315 | ) | ||
Long-term debt, net of current maturities | (4,806 | ) | ||
Long-term deferred tax liabilities and income tax payable | (1,550 | ) | ||
Other liabilities | (1,322 | ) | ||
Total liabilities assumed | (13,598 | ) | ||
Net identifiable assets acquired | 2,508 | |||
Add: Fair value of non-controlling interests | (50 | ) | ||
Goodwill | 7,392 | |||
Total estimated consideration transferred | $ | 9,850 |
(1) Includes aggregate adjustments of $203 million received from HPE in accordance with the provisions of the Separation Agreement.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the HPES Merger date. The goodwill recognized with the HPES Merger was attributable to the synergies expected to be achieved by combining the businesses of CSC and HPES, expected future contracts and the acquired workforce. The cost-saving opportunities are expected to include improved operating efficiencies and asset optimization. The goodwill arising from the HPES Merger was allocated to the Company's reportable segments as $2.8 billion to the GBS segment, $2.6 billion to the GIS segment and $2.0 billion to the USPS segment. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
Subsequent to the HPES Merger, the Company divested USPS which was acquired in the HPES Merger. See Note 4 - "Divestitures" for additional information about the divestiture of USPS.
Tribridge Acquisition
On July 1, 2017, DXC acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Tribridge Holdings LLC, an independent integrator of Microsoft Dynamics 365, for total consideration of $152 million. The acquisition includes the Tribridge affiliate company, Concerto Cloud Services LLC. The combination of Tribridge with DXC expands DXC’s Microsoft Dynamics 365 global systems integration business.
The purchase price is allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon determination of fair values at the date of acquisition as follows: $32 million to current assets, $4 million to property and equipment, $62 million to intangible assets other than goodwill, $24 million to current liabilities and $78 million to goodwill. The goodwill is primarily associated with the Company's GBS segment and is tax deductible. The amortizable lives associated with the intangible assets acquired includes customer relationships which have a 12-year estimated useful life.

Note 4 - Divestitures
Separation of USPS
On May 31, 2018, DXC completed the USPS Separation and Mergers to form Perspecta, an independent public company.
Implementation of the Separation and DXC's post-Separation relationship with Perspecta is governed by several agreements, including the following:
• | a Separation and Distribution Agreement; |
• | an Employee Matters Agreement; |
• | a Tax Matters Agreement; |
• | an Intellectual Property Matters Agreement; |
• | a Transition Services Agreement; |
• | a Real Estate Matters Agreement; and |
• | a Non-US Agency Agreement. |
These agreements provide for the allocation of assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including property, employee benefits, litigation, and tax-related assets and liabilities) between DXC and Perspecta attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation. In addition, DXC and Perspecta have service and commercial contracts that generally extend through fiscal 2023.
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, immediately prior to the Separation Perspecta made a net cash payment of $984 million to DXC, which reflects transaction consideration of $1,050 million less $66 million in principal amount of debt that was outstanding at a subsidiary of Perspecta. Perspecta financed the payment through borrowings under a new senior secured term loan facility.
J. Michael Lawrie serves as DXC's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Paul N. Saleh serves as DXC's Chief Financial Officer. Effective as of the Separation, Mr. Lawrie also serves as Chairman of Perspecta and Mr. Saleh also serves as a Director of Perspecta. Due to Mr. Lawrie's and Mr. Saleh's leadership positions at DXC and Perspecta, Perspecta is considered a related party under ASC 850 "Related Party Disclosures" for periods subsequent to the Separation. Transactions with Perspecta were immaterial to the Company's financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and balances due to and from Perspecta were immaterial to the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2018.

Note 6 - Sale of Receivables
Receivables Securitization Facility
The Company has a $600 million accounts receivable securitization facility (as amended or supplemented to date, the "Receivables Facility") with certain unaffiliated financial institutions (the "Purchasers") for the sale of commercial accounts receivable in the United States. Under the Receivables Facility, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Sellers") sell billed and unbilled accounts receivable to DXC Receivables LLC ("DXC Receivables"), a wholly owned bankruptcy-remote entity. DXC Receivables in turn sells such purchased accounts receivable in their entirety to the Purchasers pursuant to a receivables purchase agreement. Sales of receivables by DXC Receivables occur continuously and are settled on a monthly basis. The proceeds from the sale of these receivables comprise a combination of cash and a
20

deferred purchase price receivable ("DPP"). The DPP is realized by the Company upon the ultimate collection of the underlying receivables sold to the Purchasers. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 described in Note 2 - "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" requires cash receipts on the DPP to be classified as cash flows from investing activities instead of the Company's former presentation as cash flows from operating activities.
The amount available under the Receivables Facility fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible receivables generated during the normal course of business after deducting excess concentrations. As of December 31, 2018, the total availability under the Receivables Facility was approximately $424 million and the drawn amount was $438 million. As of December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a $14 million liability within accounts payable because the amount of cash proceeds received by the Company under the Receivables Facility exceeded the maximum funding limit. The Receivables Facility terminates on August 21, 2019, but provides for one or more optional one-year extensions, if agreed to by the Purchasers. The Company uses the proceeds from receivables sales under the Receivables Facility for general corporate purposes.
The Company has no retained interests in the transferred receivables, other than collection and administrative services and its right to the DPP. The DPP is included in receivables at fair value on the balance sheets and was $598 million and $233 million as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. On August 22, 2018, the Company amended the Receivables Facility to include additional Sellers and increase the facility limit from $250 million to $600 million. On September 24, 2018, the Company amended the Receivables Facility with the Purchasers and pursuant to this amendment, the Company repurchased certain of its subsidiaries' receivables.
The fair value of the sold receivables approximated book value due to the short-term nature, and as a result no gain or loss on sale of receivables was recorded.
The Company’s risk of loss following the transfer of accounts receivable under the Receivables Facility is limited to the DPP outstanding and any short-falls in collections for specified non-credit related reasons after sale. Payment of the DPP is not subject to significant risks other than delinquencies and credit losses on accounts receivable sold under the Receivables Facility.
Certain obligations of sellers under the Receivables Facility and DXC, as initial servicer, are guaranteed by the Company under a performance guaranty, made in favor of an administrative agent on behalf of the Purchasers. However, the performance guaranty does not cover DXC Receivables’ obligations to pay yield, fees or invested amounts to the administrative agent or any of the Purchasers.

Since July 14, 2017, the Company has given a parent guaranty in connection with a federal receivables sales facility with certain financial institutions, under which certain subsidiaries of the Company previously sold eligible federal government obligor receivables, including billed and certain unbilled receivables. In connection with the Separation, the sellers and servicers of the receivables sold under the Federal Receivables Sales Facility were divested and, effective May 31, 2018, the parent guaranty was terminated.

(1) Cost basis approximated fair value due to the short period of time to maturity.
(2) Other debt securities include available-for-sale investments with Level 2 inputs that have a cost basis of $39 million and $42 million, and unrealized gains of $9 million and $11 million, as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively.
The fair value of money market funds, money market deposit accounts, and time deposits, reported as cash and cash equivalents, are based on quoted market prices or amounts payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of other debt securities, included in other long-term assets, is based on actual market prices. Fair value of the DPP, included in receivables, net, is determined by calculating the expected amount of cash to be received and is principally based on unobservable inputs consisting primarily of the face amount of the receivables adjusted for anticipated credit losses. The fair value of contingent consideration, presented in other liabilities, is based on contractually defined targets of financial performance and other considerations.
The increase in the fair value of contingent consideration during the nine months ended December 31, 2018 was due to the acquisitions described in Note 3 - "Acquisitions."
Other Fair Value Disclosures
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments with short-term maturities, primarily accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term debt, and financial liabilities included in other accrued liabilities, are deemed to approximate their market values. If measured at fair value, these financial instruments would be classified in Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt, primarily by using quoted prices obtained from third party providers such as Bloomberg, and by using an expected present value technique that is based on observable market inputs for instruments with similar terms currently available to the Company. The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt, excluding capitalized lease liabilities, was $5.5 billion and $6.0 billion as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively, as compared with carrying value of $5.6 billion and $5.9 billion as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. If measured at fair value, long-term debt, excluding capitalized lease liabilities would be classified in Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Non-financial assets such as goodwill, tangible assets, intangible assets and other contract related long-lived assets are recorded at fair value in the period they are initially recognized, and such fair value may be adjusted in subsequent periods if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the asset may be impaired. The fair value measurements, in such instances, would be classified in Level 3. There were no significant impairments recorded during the fiscal periods covered by this report.
Note 8 - Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. As part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency forward and option
23
DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) - continued
contracts and interest rate swaps, to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The Company’s objective is to reduce earnings volatility by offsetting gains and losses resulting from these exposures with losses and gains on the derivative contracts used to hedge them. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or any speculative purpose.
Derivatives Designated for Hedge Accounting
Cash flow hedges
During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company terminated certain interest rate swap agreements which had aggregate notional values of $375 million and fair values of $5 million and derecognized the relative derivative asset. The hedge gain of $5 million is recognized over the remaining original life of the swap against interest expense in the statements of operations. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges.
The Company has designated certain foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges to reduce foreign currency risk related to certain Indian Rupee denominated intercompany obligations and forecasted transactions. The notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2018 was $231 million, and the related forecasted transactions extend through February 2020.
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company performed an assessment at the inception of the cash flow hedge transactions and determined all critical terms of the hedging instruments and hedged items matched. The Company performs an assessment of critical terms on an ongoing basis throughout the hedging period. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had no cash flow hedges for which it was probable that the hedged transaction would not occur. As of December 31, 2018, $6 million of the existing amount of losses related to the cash flow hedge reported in AOCI is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.
The current period pre-tax gain (loss) on derivatives designated for hedge accounting recognized in other comprehensive gain (loss) was $15 million and $(30) million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, respectively. The pre-tax loss on derivatives designated for hedge accounting recognized in income from continuing operations was $4 million and $9 million for three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, respectively.
Derivatives not Designated for Hedge Accounting
The derivative instruments not designated as hedges for purposes of hedge accounting include interest rate swap agreements and certain short-term foreign currency forward contracts. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in the financial statement line item to which the derivative relates.
Interest rate swap agreements
During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company elected to de-designate its interest rate swap agreements. The Company derecognized the related derivative asset and recognized the amount in earnings. The notional amount of interest rate swap agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2018 was $236 million. Gains on interest rate swap agreements not designated for hedge accounting and the recognition of the derivative asset in earnings were not material for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018.
Foreign currency forward contracts
The Company manages the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies by using foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, including intercompany accounts and forecasted transactions. The notional amount of the foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2018 was $3.8 billion. Losses on foreign currency forward contracts not designated for hedge accounting, recognized within other income, net, were $18 million and $62 million during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, respectively, and $3 million and $117 million during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts represents the estimated amount required to settle the contracts using current market exchange rates and is based on the period-end foreign currency exchange rates and forward points which are classified as Level 2 inputs. The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated based on valuation models that use interest rate yield curves which are classified as Level 2 inputs.
Other risks
The Company is exposed to the risk of losses in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its derivative contracts. The amount subject to credit risk related to derivative instruments is generally limited to the amount, if any, by which a counterparty's obligations exceed the obligations of the Company with that counterparty. To mitigate counterparty credit risk, the Company regularly reviews its credit exposure and the creditworthiness of the counterparties. As of December 31, 2018, the maximum amount of loss that the Company could incur was not material. The Company also enters into enforceable master netting arrangements with some of its counterparties. However, for financial reporting purposes, it is the Company's policy not to offset derivative assets and liabilities despite the existence of enforceable master netting arrangements.

As a result of the Separation of USPS on May 31, 2018, USPS is no longer a reportable segment. The additions to goodwill during the nine months ended December 31, 2018 were due to the acquisitions described in Note 3 - Acquisitions. The foreign currency translation amounts reflect the impact of currency movements on non-U.S. dollar-denominated goodwill balances.
Goodwill Impairment Analyses
The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, as of the first day of the second fiscal quarter and between annual tests if circumstances change, or if an event occurs that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company's annual goodwill impairment analysis during the three months ended September 30, 2018 did not result in an impairment charge.
At the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company assessed whether there were events or changes in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount and require goodwill to be tested for impairment. The Company determined that there have been no such indicators and therefore, it was unnecessary to perform an interim goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2018.

Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price in contracts allocated to performance obligations not delivered, or partially undelivered, as of the end of the reporting period. Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidations, adjustments for revenue that has not materialized and adjustments for currency. As of December 31, 2018, approximately $29.0 billion of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 48% of these remaining performance obligations in Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2020, with the remainder of the balance recognized thereafter.

Summary of Restructuring Plans
Fiscal 2019 Plan
During the nine months ended December 31, 2018, management approved global cost savings initiatives designed to better align the Company's organizational structure with its strategic initiatives and continue the integration of HPES and other acquisitions (the "Fiscal 2019 Plan"). The Fiscal 2019 Plan includes workforce optimization and rationalization of facilities and data center assets.
Fiscal 2018 Plan
In June 2017, management approved a post-HPES Merger restructuring plan to optimize the Company's operations in response to a continuing business contraction (the "Fiscal 2018 Plan"). The additional restructuring initiatives are intended to reduce the company's core structure and related operating costs, improve its competitiveness, and facilitate the achievement of acceptable and sustainable profitability. The Fiscal 2018 Plan focuses mainly on optimizing specific aspects of global workforce, increasing the proportion of work performed in low cost offshore locations and re-balancing the pyramid structure. Additionally, this plan included global facility restructuring, including a global data center restructuring program. Costs incurred to date under the Fiscal 2018 Plan total $806 million, comprising $614 million in workforce reductions and $192 million of facilities costs.
Fiscal 2017 Plan
In May 2016, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to realign the Company's cost structure and resources to take advantage of operational efficiencies following recent acquisitions. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company expanded the plan to strengthen the Company's competitiveness and to optimize the workforce by increasing work performed in low-cost locations (the "Fiscal 2017 Plan"). Costs incurred to date under the Fiscal 2017 Plan total $216 million, comprising $207 million in workforce reductions and $9 million of facilities costs.
Other Prior Year Plans
Other prior year plans are comprised of the Fiscal 2016 Plan and Fiscal 2015 Plan. As of December 31, 2018, activities under these plans are substantially complete.
Acquired Restructuring Liabilities
As a result of the HPES Merger, DXC acquired restructuring liabilities under restructuring plans that were initiated for HPES under plans approved by the HPE Board of Directors.

Note 14 - Pension and Other Benefit Plans
The Company offers a number of pension and other post-retirement benefit ("OPEB") plans, life insurance benefits, deferred compensation and defined contribution plans. Most of the Company's pension plans are not admitting new participants; therefore, changes to pension liabilities are primarily due to market fluctuations of investments for existing participants and changes in interest rates.
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors a number of defined benefit and post-retirement medical benefit plans for the benefit of eligible employees. The benefit obligations of the Company's U.S. pension, U.S. OPEB, and non-U.S. OPEB represent an insignificant portion of the Company's pension and other post-retirement benefits. As a result, the disclosures below include the Company's U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans on a global consolidated basis.
The Company contributed $12 million and $52 million to the defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefit

plans during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company expects to contribute an additional $30 million during the remainder of fiscal 2019, which does not include certain salary deferral programs and future potential termination benefits related to the Company's potential restructuring activities.

U.K. Pension Equalization Ruling
On October 26, 2018 the High Court of Justice in the United Kingdom (the "High Court") issued a ruling related to the equalization of benefits payable to men and women for the effect of guaranteed minimum pensions under U.K. defined benefit pension plans. As a result of this ruling, the Company estimated the impact of retroactively increasing benefits in its U.K. plans in accordance with the High Court ruling. The Company treated the additional benefits as a prior service cost which resulted in an increase to its projected benefit obligation and accumulated other comprehensive loss of $28 million. The Company will amortize this cost over the average remaining life expectancy of the U.K. participants. Given the immaterial effect on the U.K. plan's projected benefit, an interim remeasurement was not performed.
Deferred Compensation Plans
Effective as of the HPES Merger, DXC assumed sponsorship of the Computer Sciences Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan, which was renamed the “DXC Technology Company Deferred Compensation Plan” (the “DXC DCP”) and adopted the Enterprise Services Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “ES DCP”). Both plans are non-qualified deferred compensation plans maintained for a select group of management, highly compensated employees and non-employee directors.
The DXC DCP covers eligible employees who participated in CSC’s Deferred Compensation Plan prior to the HPES Merger. The ES DCP covers eligible employees who participated in the HPE Executive Deferred Compensation Plan prior to the HPES Merger. Both plans allow participating employees to defer the receipt of current compensation to a future

distribution date or event above the amounts that may be deferred under DXC’s tax-qualified 401(k) plan, the DXC Technology Matched Asset Plan. Neither plan provides for employer contributions. As of April 3, 2017, the ES DCP does not admit new participants.
Certain management and highly compensated employees are eligible to defer all, or a portion of, their regular salary that exceeds the limitation set forth in Internal Revenue Section 401(a)(17) and all or a portion of their incentive compensation. Non-employee directors are eligible to defer up to 100% of their cash compensation. The liability, which is included in other long-term liabilities in the Company's balance sheets, was $61 million as of December 31, 2018 and $65 million as of March 31, 2018.
Note 15 - Income Taxes
The Company's income tax expense (benefit) was $3 million and $(365) million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and $205 million and $(303) million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the primary drivers of the effective tax rate ("ETR") were the global mix of income, the net decrease in valuation allowances on certain foreign deferred tax assets, and the decrease in transition tax liability. For the nine months ended December 31, 2018, the primary drivers of the ETR were the global mix of income, the net decrease in valuation allowances on certain foreign deferred tax assets, the decrease in transition tax liability, the filing of the October 31, 2017 U.S. federal tax return and the impact of U.S. proposed regulations on the ability to claim certain foreign tax credits. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, the primary drivers of the ETR were the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the Act, the remeasurement of a deferred tax liability relating to the outside basis difference of HPES foreign subsidiaries, the accrual of a one-time transition tax on estimated unremitted foreign earnings and India dividend distribution tax (DDT) accrual on historic earnings and taxes.
As of each reporting date, management weighs new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of its net deferred tax assets. Objective verifiable evidence, which is historical in nature, carries more weight than subjective evidence, which is forward looking in nature. As of March 31, 2018, DXC's net deferred tax assets in certain DXC German entities were primarily the result of net operating loss carryforwards, pension, restructuring and other miscellaneous accruals. A full valuation allowance was recorded against these net deferred tax assets as of that reporting date. For the period ended December 31, 2018, management has determined that the positive evidence, including the duration of current profitability due to realization of cost synergies relating to the HPES Merger, a legal entity restructuring allowing the future utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and the nonrecurring nature of the factors that primarily drove historical losses, outweighs the negative evidence of a three-year cumulative loss. Therefore, as of December 31, 2018, management has had a change in judgment and has concluded that it is now more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets in these DXC German entities will be fully utilized. As a result, we have recorded a valuation allowance release of $113 million. This is comprised of $18 million related to current year utilization of net operating loss carryforwards recorded through the annual effective tax rate and $95 million recorded as a discrete income tax benefit in the current period.
On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act"). The Act makes significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with varying effective dates. The Act reduces the maximum corporate income tax rate to 21% effective as of January 1, 2018, requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries, broadens the tax base, generally eliminates U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, creates a new limitation on the deductibility of interest expense, limits the deductibility of certain executive compensation, and allows for immediate capital expensing of certain qualified property. It also requires companies to pay tax on certain foreign earnings of foreign subsidiaries and subjects certain payments from U.S. corporations to foreign related parties to additional taxes. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require companies to revalue their deferred tax assets and liabilities with resulting income tax effects accounted for in the reporting period of enactment including retroactive effects.
The SEC staff issued SAB 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Act effective in the reporting period of enactment. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the
35
DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) - continued
extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Act was incomplete but it was able to determine a reasonable estimate, it was required to record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. If a company was not able to determine a provisional estimate to include in the financial statements, it was required to continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the Act.
While the measurement period under SAB 118 is now closed, DXC may in future periods need to further refine the Company's U.S. federal and state calculations, related to the Act, as the taxing authorities provide additional guidance and clarification. The taxing authorities issued additional guidance after the balance sheet date relating to the Act. DXC believes this guidance constitutes a subsequent event and will be accounted for in the period it was issued. DXC is not able to estimate the financial statement impact as time is needed to interpret the guidance and assess the impact. However, as of December 31, 2018, DXC's accounting for the Act is complete based on the Company's interpretation of the guidance issued as of the balance sheet date. As noted in the Company's fiscal 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company was able to record provisional amounts related to certain effects of the Act, as noted below.
For the following items, DXC did not record any additional material measurement period adjustments during the three month period ended December 31, 2018:
Capital expensing: During fiscal 2018 the Company recorded a provisional benefit of $87 million, which was based on its intent to fully expense all qualifying capital expenses for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This resulted in a decrease of approximately $87 million to the Company's current income taxes payable and a corresponding increase in its net deferred tax liabilities. During Q3 FY19, the Company finalized its estimate of the impact of the law change for purposes of SAB 118 and determined the incremental benefit of capital expensing was approximately $61 million. This resulted in a decrease of approximately $61 million to the Company's current income taxes payable and a corresponding increase in its net deferred tax liabilities. The Company filed its October 31, 2017 U.S. federal tax return and several of its state tax returns in the periods ending September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018, respectively. In the three months ended December 31, 2018 the Company completed all of the computations necessary, including an analysis of expenditures that qualify for immediate expensing, noting no measurement period adjustments recorded.
Executive compensation: As a result of changes made by the Act, starting with compensation paid in fiscal 2019, Section 162(m) will limit compensation deductions, including performance-based compensation, in excess of $1 million paid to anyone who, starting in 2018, serves as the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, or who is among the three most highly compensated executive officers for any fiscal year. The only exception to this rule is for compensation that is paid pursuant to a binding contract in effect on November 2, 2017 that would have otherwise been deductible under the prior Section 162(m) rules. Accordingly, any compensation paid in the future pursuant to new compensation arrangements entered into after November 2, 2017, even if performance-based, will count towards the $1 million fiscal year deduction limit if paid to a covered executive. During fiscal 2018, the Company recorded a provisional income tax expense estimate of $2 million for executive compensation relating to the change in covered individuals. The Company completed an analysis of the binding contract requirement on the various compensation plans and determined the impact of the law change was not material. As part of the fiscal 2019 forecasted ETR, the Company has estimated the IRS Code Section 162(m) adjustment under the new guidance for compensation arrangements entered into after November 2, 2017.
Reduction of US federal corporate income tax rate: As discussed above, the Act reduces the corporate tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. For certain deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, the Company previously recorded a provisional deferred income tax discrete benefit of $338 million, resulting in a $338 million decrease in net deferred tax liabilities as of March 31, 2018. The Company filed its October 31, 2017 U.S. federal income tax return in the period ending September 30, 2018 which impacted the provisional amount recorded. The adjustment was not material. The Company finalized its analysis of the scheduling of the deferred tax assets and liabilities and determined the impact was not material. No additional measurement period adjustments were recorded during the period ended December 31, 2018.
For the following provisional items, incremental measurement period adjustments were recognized during the three-month period ended December 31, 2018:
Deemed repatriation transition tax: The deemed repatriation one-time transition tax is a tax on previously untaxed accumulated and current earnings and profits ("E&P") of certain of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries. To determine the amount of the transition tax, the Company determined, in addition to other factors, the amount of post-1986 E&P of the
36
DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) - continued
relevant non-U.S. subsidiaries, as well as the amount of non-U.S. income taxes paid on such earnings and the impact of various guidance including proposed regulations. The Company was able to calculate the transition tax and recorded a provisional transition tax obligation of $361 million in fiscal 2018. Due to the revised E&P and cash computations that were completed during the reporting periods, DXC recognized an additional measurement-period adjustment to the transition tax obligation of $25 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. During the three month period ending December 31, 2018, the Company has recorded a corresponding adjustment of $(70) million. The effect of the total measurement-period adjustments of $(45) million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 on the fiscal 2019 effective tax rate is (3.88)%. The transition tax, which has now been determined to be complete, resulted in recording a total transition tax obligation of $316 million of which $324 million was recorded as income tax liability and $(8) million recorded as an unrecognized tax benefit receivable.
Indefinite reinvestment assertion: Beginning January 1, 2018, the Act provides a 100% deduction for dividends received from 10-percent owned non-U.S. corporations by U.S. corporate shareholders, subject to a one-year holding period. Although such dividend income is now generally exempt from U.S. federal income tax for U.S. corporate shareholders, companies must still account for the tax consequences of outside basis differences and other tax impacts of their investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. During fiscal 2018 the Company recorded a provisional estimate for those subsidiaries for which DXC were able to make a reasonable estimate of the tax effects of such repatriation for withholding taxes, state taxes, and India dividend distribution tax of $12 million, $7 million and $80 million, respectively. For the three months ended December 30, 2018, the Company recognized an additional measurement-period adjustment of $9 million for state tax purposes recorded to discrete income tax expense. The Company has completed its analysis of the non-U.S. tax rules for certain non-U.S. subsidiaries for U.S. federal and state tax purposes for all material provisional amounts during the measurement-period.
Global intangible low taxed income ("GILTI"): The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the GILTI provisions under the Act, which are complex and subject to continuing regulatory interpretation by the IRS. The Company is required to make an accounting policy election of either (i) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or (ii) factoring such amounts into the Company’s measurement of its deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). The Company has determined that it will account for the new GILTI tax rules under the period cost method.
The income tax expense associated with discontinued operations was $0 million and $24 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The tax expense associated with discontinued operations was $18 million and $96 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The primary driver of the variance in the tax expense for these periods was the difference in income before tax for the respective periods.
The income tax assets and liabilities that were part of the balances classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations and that were distributed in the Separation of USPS include $154 million of deferred tax liabilities, $60 million of uncertain tax position liabilities, including interest, and income tax receivables of $162 million. In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a tax matters agreement with Perspecta. Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, the Company generally will be responsible for tax liabilities arising prior to the Separation of USPS. Income tax liabilities transferred to Perspecta primarily relate to pre-HPES Merger periods, for which the Company is indemnified by HPE for these liabilities, pursuant to the tax matters agreement between the Company and HPE. The Company is also liable to HPE for tax receivables and refunds which it receives from Perspecta related to pre-HPES Merger periods that were transferred to Perspecta. Pursuant to the tax matters agreement with Perspecta, the Company recorded a tax indemnification receivable from Perspecta of $162 million and a tax indemnification payable to Perspecta of $74 million related to income tax and other tax liabilities. The Company continues to have indemnification balances to and from HPE for the same amounts as a result of the HPES Merger.
The IRS is examining CSC's federal income tax returns for fiscal 2008 through 2017. With respect to CSC's fiscal 2008 through 2010 federal tax returns, the Company previously entered into negotiations for a resolution through settlement with the IRS Office of Appeals. The IRS examined several issues for this audit that resulted in various audit adjustments. The Company and the IRS Office of Appeals have an agreement in principle as to some, but not all of these adjustments. The Company has agreed to extend the statute of limitations associated with this audit through November 30, 2019. In October 2018, the HPES IRS exam related to fiscal years 2008 and 2009 was resolved resulting in a refund received by

Perspecta that relates to a pre-HPES merger period. The refund received by Perspecta reduced the $162 million indemnification receivable from Perspecta and correspondingly reduced the indemnification payable to HPE by approximately $68 million.
In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company received a Revenue Agent’s Report with proposed adjustments to CSC's fiscal 2011 through 2013 federal returns. The Company has filed a protest of certain of these adjustments to the IRS Office of Appeals. The Company has agreed to extend the statute of limitations associated with this audit through July 31, 2019. The IRS is also examining CSC's fiscal 2014 through 2017 federal income tax returns. The Company has not received any adjustments for this cycle. The Company continues to believe that its tax positions are more-likely-than-not sustainable and that the Company will ultimately prevail.
In addition, the Company may settle certain other tax examinations, have lapses in statutes of limitations, or voluntarily settle income tax positions in negotiated settlements for different amounts than the Company has accrued as uncertain tax positions. The Company may need to accrue and ultimately pay additional amounts for tax positions that previously met a more-likely-than-not standard if such positions are not upheld. Conversely, the Company could settle positions by payment with the tax authorities for amounts lower than those that have been accrued or extinguish a position through payment. The Company believes the outcomes that are reasonably possible within the next 12 months may result in a reduction in liability for uncertain tax positions of $19 million, excluding interest, penalties and tax carry-forwards.
Note 16 - Stockholders' Equity
Share Repurchases
On April 3, 2017, DXC announced the establishment of a share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors with an initial authorization of $2.0 billion for future repurchases of outstanding shares of DXC common stock. On November 8, 2018, DXC announced that its board of directors approved an incremental $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization. An expiration date has not been established for this repurchase plan.
The shares repurchased are retired immediately and included in the category of authorized but unissued shares. The excess of purchase price over par value of the common shares is allocated between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. The details of shares repurchased are shown below:

Note 17 - Stock Incentive Plans
Equity Plans
As a result of the Separation of USPS, shared-based awards issued by the Company were modified. The number of stock options and exercise price were adjusted to generally preserve the intrinsic value immediately prior to the Separation. There was no incremental share-based compensation expense recognized as a result of the modification of the awards.
As a result of the HPES Merger, all outstanding CSC awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units ("CSC RSUs"), including performance-based restricted stock units, relating to CSC common stock granted under the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the 2007 Employee Incentive Plan and the 2010 Non-Employee Director Incentive Plan (the “CSC Equity Incentive Plans”) held by CSC employees and non-employee directors were converted into an adjusted award relating to DXC common shares subject to the same terms and conditions after the HPES Merger as the terms and conditions applicable to such awards prior to the HPES Merger.
40
DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) - continued
Under the terms of the CSC Equity Incentive Plans and the individual award agreements, all unvested equity incentive awards, including all stock options and CSC RSUs held by all participants under the plans, including its named executive officers and directors, are subject to accelerated vesting in whole or in part upon the occurrence of a change in control or upon the participant’s termination of employment on or after the occurrence of a change in control under certain circumstances ("CIC events"). As a result of CIC events triggered by the HPES Merger, approximately 3.6 million unvested awards became vested on April 1, 2017 and $26 million of incremental stock compensation expense was recognized. CSC options granted in fiscal 2017 vested 33% upon the HPES Merger; the remaining 67% were converted into DXC RSUs based on the accounting value of the options. These RSUs will vest on the second and third anniversaries of the original option grant date. For equity incentive awards granted by HPE under HPE equity incentive plans to HPES prior to the HPES Merger, outstanding options (vested and unvested) and unvested RSU awards were converted upon the HPES Merger into economically equivalent DXC option and RSU awards, with terms and conditions substantially the same as the terms of such awards prior to the HPES Merger.
In March 2017, prior to the HPES Merger, the board of directors and shareholders of HPES approved DXC’s 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “DXC Employee Equity Plan”), DXC’s 2017 Non-Employee Director Incentive Plan (the “DXC Director Equity Plan”) and DXC’s 2017 Share Purchase Plan (“DXC Share Purchase Plan”). The terms of the DXC Employee Equity Plan and DXC Director Equity Plans are substantially similar to the terms of the CSC Equity Incentive Plans. The former allows DXC to grant stock options (including incentive stock options), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, RSUs (including PSUs), and cash awards intended to qualify for the performance-based compensation exemption to the $1 million deduction limit under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (collectively the "Awards"). Awards are typically subject to vesting over the 3-year period following the grant date. Vested stock options are generally exercisable for a term of 10 years from the grant date. All of DXC’s employees are eligible for awards under the plan. The Company issues authorized but previously unissued shares upon the granting of stock options and the settlement of RSUs and PSUs.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Board") has broad authority to grant awards and otherwise administer the DXC Employee Equity Plan. The plan became effective March 30, 2017 and will continue in effect for a period of 10 years thereafter, unless earlier terminated by the Board. The Board has the authority to amend the plan in such respects as it deems desirable, subject to approval of DXC’s stockholders for material modifications.
RSUs represent the right to receive one share of DXC common stock upon a future settlement date, subject to vesting and other terms and conditions of the award, plus any dividend equivalents accrued during the award period. In general, if the employee’s status as a full-time employee is terminated prior to the vesting of the RSU grant in full, then the RSU grant is automatically canceled on the termination date and any unvested shares and dividend equivalents are forfeited. Certain executives were awarded service-based "career share" RSUs for which the shares are settled over the 10 anniversaries following the executive's separation from service as a full-time employee, provided the executive complies with certain non-competition covenants during that period.
The Company also grants PSUs, which generally vest over a period of 3 years. The number of PSUs that ultimately vest is dependent upon the Company’s achievement of certain specified financial performance criteria over a 3-year period. If the specified performance criteria are met, awards are settled for shares of DXC common stock and dividend equivalents upon the filing with the SEC of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year of the performance period. PSU awards include the potential for up to 25% of the shares granted to be earned after the first and second fiscal years if certain of the Company's performance targets are met early, subject to vesting based on the participant's continued employment through the end of the 3-year performance period.
The terms of the DXC Director Equity Plan allow DXC to grant RSU awards to non-employee directors of DXC. Such RSU awards vest in full at the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the grant date or (ii) the next annual meeting date, and are automatically redeemed for DXC common stock and dividend equivalents either at that time or, if an RSU deferral election form is submitted, upon the date or event elected by the director. Distributions made upon a director’s separation from the Board may occur in either a lump sum or in annual installments over periods of 5, 10, or 15 years, per the director’s election. In addition, RSUs vest in full upon a change in control of DXC.
The DXC Share Purchase Plan allows DXC’s employees located in the United Kingdom to purchase shares of DXC’s common stock at the fair market value of such shares on the applicable purchase date. There were 3,574 and 9,069 shares purchased under this plan during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018.

Note 19 - Segment Information
DXC has a matrix form of organization and is managed in several different and overlapping groupings including services, industry and geographic region. As a result and in accordance with accounting standards, operating segments are organized by the type of services provided. DXC's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the chief executive officer, obtains, reviews, and manages the Company’s financial performance based on these segments. The CODM uses these results, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, each of the segments.
As a result of the Separation, USPS is no longer included as a reportable segment and its results have been reclassified to discontinued operations, net of taxes, for all periods presented. See Note 4 - "Divestitures." DXC now operates in two reportable segments as described below:

Reconciliation of Reportable Segment Profit
The Company's management uses segment profit as the measure for assessing performance of its segments. Segment profit is defined as segment revenue less costs of services, segment selling, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization, and other income (excluding the movement in foreign currency exchange rates on DXC's foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and the related economic hedges). The Company does not allocate to its segments certain operating expenses managed at the corporate level. These unallocated costs include certain corporate function costs, stock-based compensation expense, pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement gains and losses, restructuring costs, transaction, separation and integration-related costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets.

In the normal course of business, the Company may provide certain clients with financial performance guarantees, and at times performance letters of credit or surety bonds. In general, the Company would only be liable for the amounts of these guarantees in the event that non-performance by the Company permits termination of the related contract by the Company’s client. The Company believes it is in compliance with its performance obligations under all service contracts for which there is a financial performance guarantee, and the ultimate liability, if any, incurred in connection with these guarantees will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.
The Company also uses stand-by letters of credit, in lieu of cash, to support various risk management insurance policies. These letters of credit represent a contingent liability and the Company would only be liable if it defaults on its payment obligations on these policies. The following table summarizes the expiration of the Company’s financial guarantees and stand-by letters of credit outstanding as of December 31, 2018:

Vincent Forcier v. Computer Sciences Corporation and The City of New York: On October 27, 2014, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the Attorney General for the State of New York filed complaints-in-intervention on behalf of the United States and the State of New York, respectively, against CSC and The City of New York. This action arose out of a qui tam complaint originally filed under seal in 2012 by Vincent Forcier, a former employee of CSC. The complaints allege that from 2008 to 2012 New York City and CSC, in its role as fiscal agent for New York City’s Early Intervention Program ("EIP"), a federal program that provides services for infants and toddlers with manifest or potential developmental delays, violated the federal and state False Claims Acts and various common law standards by allegedly orchestrating a billing fraud against Medicaid through the misapplication of default billing codes and the failure to exhaust private insurance coverage before submitting claims to Medicaid. The New York Attorney General’s complaint also alleges that New York City and CSC failed to reimburse Medicaid in certain instances where insurance had paid a portion of the claim. The lawsuits seek treble statutory damages, other civil penalties and attorneys’ fees and costs.
On January 26, 2015, CSC and the City of New York moved to dismiss Forcier’s amended qui tam complaint as well as the federal and state complaints-in-intervention. In June 2016, the Court dismissed Forcier’s amended complaint in its entirety. With regard to the complaints-in-intervention, the Court dismissed the federal claims alleging misuse of default diagnosis codes when the provider had entered an invalid code, and the state claims alleging failure to reimburse Medicaid when claims were subsequently paid by private insurance. The Court denied the motions to dismiss with respect to the federal and state claims relating to (i) submission of insurance claims with a code signifying that the patient’s policy ID was unknown, and (ii) submission of claims to Medicaid after the statutory deadline for payment by private insurance had passed, and state common law claims. In accordance with the ruling, the United States and the State of New York each filed amended complaints-in-intervention on September 6, 2016. In addition to reasserting the claims upheld by the Court, the amended complaints assert new claims alleging that the compensation provisions of CSC’s contract with New York City rendered it ineligible to serve as a billing agent under state law.
On November 9, 2016, CSC filed motions to dismiss the amended complaints in their entirety. On August 10, 2017, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motions to dismiss, allowing the remaining causes of action to proceed. On January 9, 2018, the Company answered the complaints, and asserted a counterclaim against the State of New York on a theory of contribution and indemnification. On January 30, 2018, the State of New York filed a motion to dismiss the Company’s counterclaim. In a ruling dated September 20, 2018, the Court allowed the Company’s counterclaim for indemnification to proceed with respect to liability for claims not arising under the Federal False Claims Act. The Parties participated in a non-binding mediation on November 29, 2017, but no settlement has been reached to date. Discovery has now commenced. The Company believes that these claims are without merit and intends to continue to defend itself vigorously.
Strauch Fair Labor Standards Act Collective Action: On July 1, 2014, plaintiffs Joseph Strauch, Timothy Colby, Charles Turner, and Vernon Carre filed an action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of themselves and a putative nationwide collective of CSC system administrators, alleging CSC’s failure to properly classify these employees as non-exempt under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"). Plaintiffs allege similar state-law Rule 23 class claims pursuant to Connecticut and California statutes, including the Connecticut Minimum Wage Act, the California Unfair Competition Law, California Labor Code, California Wage Order No. 4-2001 and the California Private Attorneys General Act. Plaintiffs claim double overtime damages, liquidated damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, civil penalties, and other state-specific remedies.
In 2015 the Court entered an order granting conditional certification under the FLSA of the collective of over 4,000 system administrators, and notice of the right to participate in the FLSA collective action was mailed to the system administrators. Approximately 1,000 system administrators, prior to the announced deadline, filed consents with the Court to participate in the FLSA collective.
On June 30, 2017, the Court granted Rule 23 certification of a Connecticut state-law class and a California state-law class consisting of professional system administrators and associate professional system administrators. Senior professional system administrators were found not to qualify for Rule 23 certification under the state-law claims. On July 14, 2017, the
48
DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) - continued
Company petitioned the Second Circuit Court of Appeals for permission to file an appeal of the Rule 23 decision. That petition was denied on November 21, 2017.
As a result of the Court's findings in its Rule 23 certification order, the parties entered into a stipulation to decertify the senior professional system administrators from the FLSA collective. On August 2, 2017, the Court approved the stipulation, and the FLSA collective action is currently made up of approximately 700 individuals who held the title of associate professional or professional system administrator.
A jury trial commenced on December 11, 2017. On December 20, 2017, the jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiffs, finding that the Company had misclassified the class of employees as exempt under federal and state laws, and finding that it had done so willfully. In a ruling dated September 21, 2018, the Court denied the Company’s motions for judgment as a matter of law, and for decertification. Further rulings on the scope of damages are pending. The Company disagrees with the verdict and intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, including by appealing the verdict and the final judgment of the Court.
Computer Sciences Corporation v. Eric Pulier, et al.: On May 12, 2015, CSC and its wholly owned subsidiary, ServiceMesh Inc. ("SMI"), filed a civil complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against Eric Pulier, the former CEO of SMI, which had been acquired by CSC on November 15, 2013. Following the acquisition, Mr. Pulier signed a retention agreement with SMI pursuant to which he received a grant of restricted stock units of CSC and agreed to be bound by CSC’s rules and policies, including CSC’s Code of Business Conduct. Mr. Pulier resigned from SMI on April 22, 2015 amid allegations that he had engaged in fraudulent transactions with two employees of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia Ltd. (“CBA”). The original complaint against Mr. Pulier asserted claims for fraud, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty. In an amended complaint, CSC named TechAdvisors, LLC and Shareholder Representative Services LLC ("SRS") as additional defendants. In ruling on a motion to dismiss filed by Mr. Pulier, the Court dismissed CSC’s claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith, but allowed substantially all of the remaining claims to proceed. Mr. Pulier asserted counter-claims for breach of contract, fraud, negligent representation, rescission, and violations of the California Blue Sky securities law. With the exception of the claim for breach of his retention agreement, the Court dismissed in whole or in part each of Mr. Pulier’s counterclaims.
On December 17, 2015, CSC entered into a settlement agreement with the majority of the former equityholders of SMI, as well as with SRS acting in its capacity as the agent and attorney-in-fact for the settling equityholders. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, CSC received $16.5 million, which amount was equal to the settling equityholders’ pro rata share of the funds remaining in escrow from the transaction, which was recorded as an offset to selling, general and administrative costs in CSC’s statements of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. On February 20, 2017, CSC, SRS and the former equityholders of SMI who remain named defendants entered into a partial settlement agreement by which CSC received payment of some of the funds remaining in escrow.
On July 20, 2017, the Court granted a motion by the United States for a 90-day stay of discovery pending the completion of a criminal investigation. On September 27, 2017, a grand jury empaneled by the United States District Court for the Central District of California returned an indictment against Mr. Pulier, charging him with conspiracy, securities and wire fraud, obstruction of justice, and other violations of federal law (United States v. Eric Pulier, CR 17-599-AB). The Government sought an extension of the stay which the Delaware Chancery Court granted on November 3, 2017.
On December 18, 2018, the Government filed an application to dismiss the indictment against Mr. Pulier, and on December 20, 2018, the United States District Court for the Central District of California granted the application and dismissed the indictment with prejudice.
On December 21, 2018, CSC filed a motion to lift the stay in its civil lawsuit against Mr. Pulier in Delaware Chancery Court, and a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction preventing Mr. Pulier from dissipating approximately $4.9 million previously seized by the Government in connection with its criminal investigation.
In addition, law enforcement officials in Australia have brought bribery-related charges against the two former CBA employees. One of these has since pled guilty, and in 2016 received a sentence of imprisonment. In 2016, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California announced similar criminal charges against this same CBA employee for securities fraud and wire fraud. These criminal charges were dismissed on December 20, 2018. In April

2018 the other former CBA employee was committed to stand trial in the Australian criminal courts. The Company is cooperating with and assisting the Australian authorities in their investigation.
On February 17, 2016, Mr. Pulier filed a complaint in Delaware Chancery Court against CSC and its subsidiary - CSC Agility Platform, Inc., formerly known as SMI - seeking advancement of his legal fees and costs. On May 12, 2016, the Court ruled that CSC Agility Platform - as the successor to SMI - is liable for advancing 80% of Mr. Pulier’s fees and costs in the underlying civil action. Mr. Pulier also filed a complaint for advancement of the legal fees and costs incurred in connection with his defense of criminal investigations by the U.S. Government and other entities. On August 7, 2017, the Court ruled substantially in Mr. Pulier's favor. On January 30, 2018, the Court reduced the Company’s advancement obligation to only 80% of the criminal defense fees and costs sought by Mr. Pulier. In undertakings previously provided to SMI, Mr. Pulier agreed to repay all amounts advanced to him if it should ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to indemnification.
Kemper Corporate Services, Inc. v. Computer Sciences Corporation: In October 2015, Kemper Corporate Services, Inc. (“Kemper”) filed a demand for arbitration against CSC with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), alleging that CSC breached the terms of a 2009 Master Software License and Services Agreement and related Work Orders (the “Agreement”) by failing to complete a software translation and implementation plan by certain contractual deadlines. Kemper claimed breach of contract, seeking approximately $100 million in damages measured in part by the amount of the fees paid under the contract, as well as pre-judgment interest, and in the alternative claimed rescission of the Agreement. CSC answered the demand for arbitration denying Kemper’s claims and asserting a counterclaim for unpaid invoices for services rendered by CSC.
A single arbitrator conducted an evidentiary hearing on the merits of the claims and counterclaims in April 2017. Oral argument took place on August 28, 2017. On October 2, 2017, the arbitrator issued a partial final award, finding for Kemper on its breach of contract theory, awarding Kemper $84.2 million in compensatory damages plus prejudgment interest, denying Kemper’s claim for rescission as moot, and denying CSC’s counterclaim. Kemper moved on October 10, 2017, in federal district court in Texas to confirm the award. On November 16, 2017, the arbitrator issued a Final Award which reiterated his findings of fact and law, calculated the amount of prejudgment interest, and awarded Kemper its costs of arbitration including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. On December 6, 2017, the Company filed a motion to vacate the award in federal district court in New York. A week later, the New York court stayed the action in deference to the Texas court’s decision as to which venue was more appropriate to address the vacatur arguments. On January 12, 2018, the Company appeared in the Texas action seeking a stay of the confirmation proceedings or a transfer of venue to New York. On March 2, 2018, the Texas court denied the venue transfer motion. The pending vacatur motion was accordingly transferred to the Texas court, and a new memorandum of law in support of the motion was filed in that jurisdiction on March 30, 2018. On August 27, 2018, the Magistrate Judge issued its Report and Recommendation denying the vacatur motion. On September 10, 2018, the Company filed its objections to this report to the United States District Judge who reviews the decision de novo. On September 18, 2018, the District Court summarily accepted the Report and Recommendation without further briefing and entered a Final Judgment in the case. On September 27, 2018, the Company filed a notice of appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Company has also paid the portion of the judgment that is uncontested on appeal, and Kemper recorded this partial satisfaction of the judgment on September 26, 2018. On January 16, 2019, the Company filed its opening brief with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Kemper is expected to file its brief on March 1, 2019, and the Company will file its reply brief on March 29, 2019. No further dates have been set at this time.
The Company disagrees with the decision of the arbitrator and intends to continue to defend itself vigorously. The Company is also pursuing coverage for the full scope of the award, interest, and legal fees and expenses, under the Company's applicable insurance policies.
Forsyth, et al. v. HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise: This purported class and collective action was filed on August 18, 2016 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, against HP and HPE alleging violations of the Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, California public policy and the California Business and Professions Code. Former business units of HPE now owned by the Company will be proportionately liable for any recovery by plaintiffs in this matter. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on December 19, 2016. Plaintiffs seek to certify a nationwide class action under the ADEA comprised of all U.S. residents employed by defendants who had their employment terminated pursuant to a work force reduction (“WFR”) plan on or

after December 9, 2014 (deferral states) and April 8, 2015 (non-deferral states), and who were 40 years of age or older at the time of termination. Plaintiffs also seek to represent a Rule 23 class under California law comprised of all persons 40 years or older employed by defendants in the state of California and terminated pursuant to a WFR plan on or after August 18, 2012. On January 30, 2017, defendants filed a partial motion to dismiss and a motion to compel arbitration of claims by certain named and opt-in plaintiffs who had signed releases as part of their WFR packages. On September 20, 2017, the Court denied the partial motion to dismiss without prejudice, but granted defendants’ motions to compel arbitration for those named and opt-in plaintiffs. Accordingly, the Court has stayed the entire action pending arbitration for these individuals, and administratively closed the case. Plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration as well as a notice of appeal to the Ninth Circuit (which has been denied as premature). The reconsideration motion was denied without oral argument. In that same decision, the Court held that a joint arbitration was permissible. The Company subsequently sought and obtained leave of Court to file a motion for reconsideration arguing that joint arbitration is not permitted under the relevant employee agreements. The Court denied the motion on April 17, 2018, ruling that interpretation of the employee agreements is an issue delegated to the arbitrator. The American Arbitration Association, which was designated to manage the arbitration process, has selected a single arbitrator to conduct the proceedings. An initial case management conference before the arbitrator was held on June 29, 2018. Pursuant to the release agreements, however, mediation is a precondition to arbitration. A mediation was held on October 4-5, 2018, and a settlement was reached with all 16 named and opt-in plaintiffs who were compelled to arbitrate. Seven of the plaintiffs were aligned to the Company.
A settlement agreement has been signed. The case will continue to proceed in Court, however, with respect to other putative class members. Former business units of the Company now owned by Perspecta will be proportionately liable for any recovery by plaintiffs in this matter.
Oracle America, Inc., et al. v. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company: On March 22, 2016, Oracle filed a complaint against HPE in the Northern District of California, alleging copyright infringement, interference with contract, intentional interference with prospective economic relations, and unfair competition. The litigation relates in part to former business units of HPE that are now owned by the Company. The Company may be required to indemnify HPE for a portion of any recovery by Oracle in the litigation related to these business units.
Oracle’s claims arise primarily out of HPE’s prior relationship with a third-party maintenance provider named Terix Computer Company, Inc. (“Terix”). Oracle claims that Terix infringed its copyrights while acting as HPE’s subcontractor for certain customers of HPE’s multivendor support business. Oracle claims that HPE is liable for vicarious and contributory infringement arising from the alleged actions of Terix and for direct infringement arising from its own alleged conduct.
On June 14, 2018, the court heard oral argument on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment. On January 29, 2019, the court granted HPE’s motion for summary judgment and denied Oracle’s motion for summary judgment, resolving the matter in HPE’s favor. The court’s order is subject to appeal.
City of Warren Police and Fire Retirement System v. DXC Technology Company et al.: On December 27, 2018, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against the Company and two of its current officers. The lawsuit asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is premised on allegedly false and/or misleading statements, and alleged non-disclosure of material facts, regarding the Company’s business, operations, prospects and performance during the proposed class period of February 8, 2018 to November 6, 2018.
The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend all claims asserted.
Voluntary Disclosure of Certain Possible Sanctions Law Violations: On February 2, 2017, CSC submitted an initial notification of voluntary disclosure to the U.S. Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") regarding certain possible violations of U.S. sanctions laws pertaining to insurance premium data and claims data processed by two partially-owned joint ventures of Xchanging, which CSC acquired during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. A copy of the disclosure was also provided to Her Majesty’s Treasury Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation in the United Kingdom. The Company has substantially completed its internal investigation and has requested a meeting with OFAC to report its findings.

In addition to the matters noted above, the Company is currently subject in the normal course of business to various claims and contingencies arising from, among other things, disputes with customers, vendors, employees, contract counterparties and other parties, as well as securities matters, environmental matters, matters concerning the licensing and use of intellectual property, and inquiries and investigations by regulatory authorities and government agencies. Some of these disputes involve or may involve litigation. The financial statements reflect the treatment of claims and contingencies based on management's view of the expected outcome. DXC consults with outside legal counsel on issues related to litigation and regulatory compliance and seeks input from other experts and advisors with respect to matters in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of these and other matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and the impact of the final resolution of these and other matters on the Company’s results of operations in a particular subsequent reporting period could be material and adverse, management does not believe based on information currently available to the Company, that the resolution of any of the matters currently pending against the Company will have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company or the ability of the Company to meet its financial obligations as they become due. Unless otherwise noted, the Company is unable to determine at this time a reasonable estimate of a possible loss or range of losses associated with the foregoing disclosed contingent matters.
Note 21 - Reconciliation of Previously Reported Amounts to Recast Financial Statements
As described in Note 2 - "Recent Accounting Pronouncements," during the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company adopted ASU's 2017-07, 2016-18 and 2016-15. The adoption of these standards requires the Company to recast each prior period presented consistent with the new guidance. As described in Note 4 - "Divestitures," on May 31, 2018, the Company completed the Separation of USPS. As a result, the results of operations and financial position of USPS are reflected in the accompanying statements of operations and balance sheets as discontinued operations and each prior period presented has been recast to present USPS as a discontinued operation.

During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, the distribution of our revenues across geographies was as follows:
![chart-aa3c43bfdb4f5601ae1a06.jpg](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001688568/000168856819000008/chart-aa3c43bfdb4f5601ae1a06.jpg)

As a global company, approximately 63% of our revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 were earned internationally. As a result, the comparison of revenues denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar from period to period is impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Constant currency revenues are a non-GAAP measure calculated by translating current period activity into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rates. This information is consistent with how management views our revenues and evaluates our operating performance and trends. The table below summarizes our constant currency revenues:

Our revenues were $5,178 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, a decrease of 5.2% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 included an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of 2.6%, primarily driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in the majority of our international markets.
Our revenues were $15,473 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, a decrease of 4.2% compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2018. Revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 included an unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate impact of 0.6%, primarily driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and British Pound.
Global Business Services
GBS revenue was $2,169 million in the third quarter and $6,493 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, a decrease of 6.3% and 5.8%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2018. GBS revenue in constant currency decreased 4.0% and 5.2% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2018. The decrease in GBS revenue in fiscal 2019 periods reflects a decline in the traditional application maintenance and management business. This was partially offset by growth in our enterprise and cloud applications business.
For the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, GBS contract awards were $2.3 billion and $6.5 billion, respectively, compared to $3.3 billion and $8.1 billion in the corresponding periods of fiscal 2018.
Global Infrastructure Services
GIS revenue was $3,009 million in the third quarter and $8,980 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, a decrease of 4.3% and 3.0%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2018. GIS revenue in constant currency decreased 1.5% and 2.4% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in fiscal 2018. The decrease in GIS revenue in fiscal 2019 periods reflects the completion of several large transformation projects and the ongoing decline in legacy infrastructure services.
For the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, GIS contract awards were $3.4 billion and $8.5 billion, respectively, compared to $2.2 billion and $8.8 billion in the corresponding periods of fiscal 2018.

The 2.9% and 3.1% improvement in costs and expenses as a percentage of revenue for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, reflects continued execution of our major synergy initiatives, including workforce optimization, supply chain efficiencies and rationalization of our real estate footprint.
Costs of Services
Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs ("COS"), was $3.7 billion and $11.1 billion for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively. COS decreased $0.3 billion and $1.1 billion, or 2.5% and 4.0% as a percentage of revenue, during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. These decreases were driven by headcount reduction and procurement efficiencies. Employee labor costs, as a percentage of revenue, decreased in both segments and across our geographic regions, year-over-year.
65
Selling, General, and Administrative
Selling, general, and administrative expense, excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring costs ("SG&A"), was $491 million and $1,500 million for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively. The $44 million increase in SG&A in the third quarter reflects the increase in transaction, separation and integration-related costs and the impact of our fiscal 2019 acquisitions. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was consistent on a year-over-year basis.
Transaction, separation and integration-related costs of $107 million and $305 million were included in SG&A for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, as compared to $83 million and $273 million for the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation expense increased $43 million and amortization expense increased $25 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2019, compared to the third quarter fiscal 2018. For the first nine months of fiscal 2019, depreciation expense increased $78 million and amortization expense increased $121 million compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2018.
The increase in depreciation expense for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 was due to an increase in depreciable assets as of December 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.
The increase in amortization expense for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 was primarily due to the acceleration of amortization related to transition and transformation contract costs and an increase in software as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2019.
Restructuring Costs
During fiscal 2019, management approved global cost savings initiatives designed to better align our organizational structure with our strategic initiatives and continue the integration of HPES and other acquisitions. During the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2019, restructuring costs, net of reversals, were $76 million and $418 million, respectively, as compared to $210 million and $585 million during the same periods of the prior fiscal year.
For an analysis of changes in our restructuring liabilities by restructuring plan, see Note 13 - "Restructuring Costs."
Interest Expense and Interest Income
Interest expense in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 increased $8 million and $29 million, respectively, over the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to our cross currency cash pool arrangements and is offset by interest income resulting from those arrangements.
Interest income in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 increased $0 million and $33 million, respectively, over the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The year-over-year increase in interest income was due to an increase in cash balances in countries with higher interest rates.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net, which includes non-service cost components of net periodic pension income, movement in foreign currency exchange rates on our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and the related economic hedges, equity earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, gain on sale of non-operating assets and other miscellaneous gains and losses increased $70 million year-over-year for the third quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase was driven primarily by a gain on sale of non-operating assets.
The $45 million increase in other income, net for the first nine months of fiscal 2019, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2018, was due primarily to a gain on sale of non-operating assets. This gain was partially offset by a year-over-year unfavorable foreign currency impact of $101 million resulting primarily from the change in the functional currency of a European holding company during the first nine months of fiscal 2018, which was not present in the current fiscal year.
66
Taxes
Our income tax expense (benefit) was $3 million and $(365) million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and $205 million and $(303) million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the primary drivers of the ETR were the global mix of income, the net decrease in valuation allowances on certain foreign deferred tax assets, and the decrease in transition tax liability. For the nine months ended December 31, 2018, the primary drivers of the ETR were the global mix of income, the net decrease in valuation allowances on certain foreign deferred tax assets, the decrease in transition tax liability, the filing of the October 31, 2017 U.S. federal tax return and the impact of U.S. proposed regulations on the ability to claim certain foreign tax credits. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, the primary drivers of the effective tax rate ("ETR") were the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the Act, the remeasurement of a deferred tax liability relating to the outside basis difference of HPES foreign subsidiaries, the accrual of a one-time transition tax on estimated unremitted foreign earnings and India dividend distribution tax (DDT) accrual on historic earnings and taxes.
Income tax expense associated with discontinued operations was $0 million and $24 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Income tax expense associated with discontinued operations was $18 million and $96 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The primary driver of the variance in the tax expense for these periods was the difference in income before tax for the respective periods.
Income from Discontinued Operations
Income from discontinued operations reflects the net income generated by USPS. As the Separation occurred on May 31, 2018, there are only two months of USPS results included in the first nine months of fiscal 2019.
Earnings per Share
Diluted EPS from continuing operations for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 decreased $0.77 and $0.10, respectively, from the same periods in the prior fiscal year. This decrease reflects a decrease of $240 million and $63 million in income from continuing operations for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively, over the same periods in the prior fiscal year.
Diluted EPS from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 includes $0.21 per share of restructuring costs, $0.29 per share of transaction, separation and integration-related costs, $0.35 per share of amortization of acquired intangible assets and $(0.28) per share of tax adjustment related to U.S. tax reform.
Diluted EPS from continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 includes $1.12 per share of restructuring costs, $0.82 per share of transaction, separation and integration-related costs, $1.05 per share of amortization of acquired intangible assets and $(0.15) per share of tax adjustment related to U.S. tax reform.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We present non-GAAP financial measures of performance which are derived from the statements of operations of DXC. These non-GAAP financial measures include earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT"), adjusted EBIT, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS, constant currency revenues and net debt-to-total capitalization.
We present these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with meaningful supplemental financial information, in addition to the financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items from GAAP results which DXC management believes are not indicative of core operating performance. DXC management believes these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better understand the financial performance of DXC exclusive of the impacts of corporate-wide strategic decisions. DXC management believes that adjusting for these items provides investors with additional measures to evaluate the financial performance of our core business operations on a comparable basis from period to period. DXC management believes the non-GAAP measures provided are also considered important measures by financial analysts covering DXC, as equity research analysts continue to publish estimates and research notes based on our non-GAAP commentary, including our guidance around non-GAAP EPS.
There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report. One of the limitations is that they do not reflect complete financial results. We compensate for this limitation by providing a reconciliation between our non-GAAP financial measures and the respective most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes between companies.
Non-GAAP financial measures and the respective most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP include:

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our non-GAAP adjustments include:
• | Restructuring - reflects costs, net of reversals, related to workforce optimization and real estate charges. |
• | Transaction, separation and integration-related costs - reflects costs related to integration planning, financing and advisory fees associated with the HPES Merger and other acquisitions and costs related to the separation of USPS. |
68
• | Amortization of acquired intangible assets - reflects amortization of intangible assets acquired through business combinations. |
• | Tax adjustment - reflects the estimated non-recurring benefit of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 for fiscal 2019, |
and the application of an approximate 28% tax rate for fiscal 2018, which is within the targeted effective tax rate range for the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Flows
As of December 31, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents were $2.5 billion, of which $1.0 billion was held outside of the U.S. A substantial portion of funds can be returned to the U.S. from funds advanced previously to finance our foreign acquisition initiatives. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, and after the mandatory one-time income inclusion (deemed repatriation) of the historically untaxed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, we expect a significant portion of the cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries will no longer be subject to U.S. federal income tax consequences upon subsequent repatriation to the United States. However, a portion of this cash may still be subject to foreign income tax consequences upon future remittance. Therefore, if additional funds held outside the U.S. are needed for our operations in the U.S., we plan to repatriate these funds.
Cash and cash equivalents ("cash") decreased to $2.5 billion as of December 31, 2018 from $2.6 billion as of March 31, 2018. The cash flows of USPS have not been segregated and are included in the statements of cash flows for all periods presented. The following table summarizes our cash flow activity:

Cash and cash equivalents at the end-of-period | $ | 2,475 | $ | 2,956 |
Net cash provided by operating activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was $1,035 million as compared to $2,010 million during the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The year-over-year decrease of $975 million was due to a decrease in working capital movements of $600 million, an increase of $137 million in gain on dispositions, a decrease in other non-cash items of $63 million and the increase in unrealized foreign currency gain of $76 million over the prior fiscal year. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net income of $226 million and an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $127 million.
Net cash used in investing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was $40 million, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $770 million during the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease of $810 million was primarily due to a reduction in cash received from the HPES Merger of $974 million, offset by a reduction in cash paid for acquisitions of $139 million, a reduction in capital expenditures of $105 million, and a net cash outflow from business dispositions of $65 million over the prior fiscal year. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in proceeds on sale of property and equipment of $254 million and an increase in cash collections of $230 million associated with the deferred purchase price receivable generated from the sale of our trade receivables and presented within investing activities pursuant to ASU 2016-15 as discussed in Note 2 - "Recent Accounting Pronouncements."
Net cash used in financing activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was $1,183 million, as compared to $1,136 million during the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The $47 million increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to an increase in payments on long-term debt obligations of $1,328 million, an increase in payments on capitalized lease obligations and borrowings for asset financing of $22 million, an increase in repurchases of common stock of $1,187 million and an increase in dividend payments of $36 million. These cash outflows were offset by borrowings related to the Separation of USPS of $1,114 million and a reduction of payments on borrowings under lines of credit of $335 million.

Capital Resources
The following table summarizes our total debt:
As of | ||||||||
(in millions) | December 31, 2018 | March 31, 2018 | ||||||
Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt | $ | 1,580 | $ | 1,918 | ||||
Long-term debt, net of current maturities | 5,980 | 6,092 | ||||||
Total debt | $ | 7,560 | $ | 8,010 |
The $0.5 billion decrease in total debt during the nine months of fiscal 2019 was primarily attributed to the repayment of $899 million principal amount of the USD term loan due 2022. This debt repayment was financed from the cash payment received from Perspecta in connection with the Separation. During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we completed a senior notes offering in an aggregate principal of €650 million due 2026, the proceeds of which were used to repay the outstanding EUR term facilities and the outstanding USD term facility.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, we entered into a term loan credit agreement maturing on January 15, 2022, in an aggregate principal amount of £450 million, the proceeds of which were used to repay the £185 million term loan due January 15, 2019 and $150 million of the Senior Notes due 2021. Also, during the third quarter of fiscal 2019, we entered into a senior unsecured AUD 800 million term loan agreement maturing in fiscal 2021, the proceeds of which were used to repay an existing AUD term loan due 2022. Finally, we amended our commercial paper program to issue short-term commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of €1 billion or its equivalent in US currency.
We were in compliance with all financial covenants associated with our borrowings as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
The maturity chart below, as of December 31, 2018, summarizes the future maturities of long-term debt principal for the remainder of fiscal 2019 and subsequent fiscal years and excludes maturities of borrowings for assets acquired under long-term financing and capitalized lease liabilities. For more information on our debt, see Note 11 - "Debt" to the financial statements.

(1) Net debt and Net debt-to-total capitalization are non-GAAP measures used by management to assess our ability to service our debts using only our cash and cash equivalents. We present these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in analyzing our capital structure in a more comprehensive way compared to gross debt based ratios alone. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for more information.
The increase in debt-to-total capitalization and net debt-to-total capitalization as of December 31, 2018 as compared to March 31, 2018 is due to the decrease in total capitalization as a result of the decrease in equity.

S&P | BBB | Stable | - |
Subsequent to the January 7, 2019, announcement by DXC and Luxoft Holding, Inc ("Luxoft") of a definitive agreement for DXC to acquire Luxoft, Moody's and S&P affirmed their ratings and outlook for DXC on January 8, 2019, and Fitch affirmed its ratings and outlook for DXC on January 9, 2019,
See Note 20 - "Commitments and Contingencies" for a discussion of the general purpose of guarantees and commitments. The anticipated sources of funds to fulfill such commitments are listed below.
Liquidity
We expect our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our normal operating requirements for the next 12 months. We expect to continue to use cash generated by operations as a primary source of liquidity, however, should we require funds greater than that generated from our operations to fund discretionary investment activities, such as business acquisitions, we have the ability to draw on our multi-currency revolving credit facility or raise capital through the issuance of capital market debt instruments such as commercial paper, term loans, and bonds. In addition, we also currently utilize and will further utilize our cross currency cash pool for liquidity needs. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain debt financing, if required, on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all, in the future.
Our exposure to operational liquidity risk is primarily from long-term contracts which require significant investment of cash during the initial phases of the contracts. The recovery of these investments is over the life of the contract and is dependent upon our performance as well as customer acceptance.
The following table summarizes our total liquidity:
As of | ||||
(in millions) | December 31, 2018 | |||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 2,475 | ||
Available borrowings under our revolving credit facility | 4,000 | |||
Total liquidity | $ | 6,475 |
Share Repurchases
During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of our common stock. On November 8, 2018, DXC announced that its board of directors approved an incremental $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization. An expiration date has not been established for this repurchase plan. During the nine months ended December 31, 2018, we repurchased 17,680,437 shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $1.2 billion.
Dividends
During the nine months ended December 31, 2018, our Board of Directors declared aggregate cash dividends to our stockholders of $0.57 per share, or approximately $161 million. Future dividends are subject to customary board review and approval prior to declaration.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
76
In the normal course of business, we are party to arrangements that include guarantees, receivables securitization facility and financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as letters of credit and surety bonds. We also use performance letters of credit to support various risk management insurance policies. No liabilities related to these arrangements are reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. There have been no material changes to our off-balance-sheet arrangements reported under Item 7, included in Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 2018, other than as disclosed in Note 6 - "Sale of Receivables" and Note 20 - "Commitments and Contingencies" to the financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Contractual Obligations
With the exception of the changes discussed under the subheading "Capital Resources," there have been no material changes, outside the ordinary course of business, to our contractual obligations since March 31, 2018. For further information see "Contractual Obligations" in Item 7, included in Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 2018.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates may change in the future if underlying assumptions or factors change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions. We consider the following policies to be critical because of their complexity and the high degree of judgment involved in implementing them: revenue recognition, income taxes, business combinations, defined benefit plans and valuation of assets. We have discussed the selection of our critical accounting policies and the effect of estimates with the audit committee of our board of directors. During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, there were no changes to our accounting estimates from those described in our fiscal 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K except as mentioned below.
Revenue Recognition
Most of our revenues are recognized based on objective criteria and do not require significant estimates that may change over time. However, some arrangements may require significant estimates, including contracts which include multiple-element deliverables.
Multiple-element arrangements
Many of our contracts require us to provide a range of services or elements to our customers, which may include a combination of services, products or both. As a result, significant judgment may be required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the elements specified in a multiple-element arrangement should be treated as separate performance obligations for revenue recognition purposes, and, when considered appropriate, how the total transaction price should be allocated among the performance obligations and the timing of revenue recognition for each performance obligation. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Other than software sales involving multiple performance obligations, the primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin approach, under which we forecast our expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service. Certain of our arrangements involve the sale of DXC proprietary software, post contract customer support and other software-related services. The standalone selling price generally is determined for each performance obligation using an adjusted market assessment approach based on the price charged where each deliverable is sold separately. In certain limited cases (typically for software licenses) when the historical selling price is highly variable, the residual approach is used. This approach allocates revenue to the performance obligation equal to the difference between the total transaction price and the observable standalone selling prices for the other performance obligations. These methods involve significant judgments and estimates that we assess periodically by considering market and entity-specific factors, such as type of customer, features of the products or services and market conditions.
77
Once the total revenues have been allocated to the various contract elements, revenues for each element are recognized based on the relevant revenue recognition method for the services performed or elements delivered if the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Estimates of total revenues at contract inception often differ materially from actual revenues due to volume differences, changes in technology or other factors which may not be foreseen at inception.
Costs to obtain contracts with customers
Accounting for the costs to obtain contracts with customers requires significant judgments and estimates with regards to the determination of sales commission payments that qualify for deferral of costs and the related amortization period. Most of our sales commission plans are quota-based and payments are made by achieving targets related to a large number of new and renewed contracts. Certain sales commissions earned by our sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. We defer and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over an average period of benefit of five years, which is determined and regularly assessed by considering the length of our customer contracts, our technology and other factors. Significant changes in these estimates or impairment may result if material contracts terminate earlier than the expected benefit period, or if there are material changes in the average contract period.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting DXC, see "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since March 31, 2018.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2018.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
See Note 20 - "Commitments and Contingencies" to the financial statements under the caption “Contingencies” for information regarding legal proceedings in which we are involved.
Item 1A.RISK FACTORS
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In such case, the trading price for DXC common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Past performance may not be a reliable indicator of future financial performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Future performance and historical trends may be adversely affected by the aforementioned risks and other variables and risks and uncertainties not currently known or that are currently expected to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations or the price of our common stock in the future. Other than as described below, there have been no material changes in the three months ended December 31, 2018 to the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 and in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 30 and September 30, 2018.
Risks Related to the Proposed Luxoft Acquisition
The proposed Luxoft Acquisition is contingent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, and the Luxoft Acquisition may not be consummated on the terms or timeline currently contemplated.
On January 7, 2019, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Luxoft Holding, Inc. (“Luxoft” and such acquisition, the “Luxoft Acquisition”). We currently expect that the Luxoft Acquisition, if completed, will occur by June 2019.
The terms and conditions of the Luxoft Acquisition are as set forth in a Merger Agreement dated as of January 6, 2019 by and among DXC, Luxoft and Luna Equities, Inc. (the “Luxoft Merger Agreement”). Luxoft and DXC have made customary representations and warranties and agreed to customary covenants in the Luxoft Merger Agreement. The parties to the Luxoft Merger Agreement have also agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain any approvals from governmental authorities for the Luxoft Acquisition, including antitrust approvals, subject to certain exceptions. Luxoft may not engage in any discussions regarding a potential acquisition of Luxoft with any party other than DXC or its affiliates or otherwise enter into any agreement with respect to, or solicit, initiate, propose or knowingly encourage any proposal regarding, an alternative transaction. The Luxoft Merger Agreement contains certain customary termination rights for both Luxoft and DXC.
The consummation of the Luxoft Acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including (i) the receipt of antitrust clearances, (ii) the absence of any law, order or other governmental action preventing or restraining the consummation of the Luxoft Acquisition, (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party in the Luxoft Merger Agreement, (iv) compliance in all material respects by each party with its covenants under the Luxoft Merger Agreement, and (v) the absence of a material adverse effect on Luxoft. For these and other reasons, the Luxoft Acquisition may not be completed by the end of June 2019 or otherwise on the terms or timeline contemplated, if at all.
The proposed Luxoft Acquisition may result in disruptions to relationships with customers and other business partners.
If we complete the proposed Luxoft Acquisition, the proposed transaction could cause disruptions in our business and the Luxoft business, including by disrupting operations or causing customers to delay or to defer decisions or to end their relationships, or otherwise limiting the ability to compete for or perform certain
79
contracts or services. If we and Luxoft face difficulties in integrating our businesses, or the Luxoft business faces difficulties in its business generally, the Luxoft Acquisition, if completed, may not achieve the intended results.
Further, it is possible that current or prospective employees of our business and the Luxoft business could experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company, which could harm our ability to attract and retain key personnel. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects.
The actions required to implement the Luxoft Acquisition will take management time and attention and may require us to incur additional costs.
The Luxoft Acquisition will require management's time and resources, which will be in addition to and may divert management's time and attention from the operation of our remaining businesses and the execution of our other strategic initiatives. Additionally, we may incur additional costs in connection with the Luxoft Acquisition beyond those that are currently anticipated. Some of these costs must be paid regardless of whether the Luxoft Acquisition is consummated.
