1. Organization

The Company is a global professional services firm that drives digitally-led innovation and runs digitally-enabled intelligent operations for its clients, guided by its experience running thousands of processes for hundreds of Fortune Global 500 clients.  The Company has over 98,000 employees serving clients in key industry verticals from more than 30 countries. 

 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

 

(a) Basis of preparation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for these periods.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and reflect the financial statements of Genpact Limited, a Bermuda company, and all of its subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and controlled. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity but exerts significant influence over the entity, the Company applies the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

 

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, the valuation of derivative financial instruments, the measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, measurements of stock-based compensation, assets and obligations related to employee benefits, the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations, the standalone selling price of performance obligations, variable consideration, other obligations for revenue recognition, income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are reasonable, and management has made assumptions about the possible effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on critical and significant accounting estimates. Although these estimates and assumptions are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any changes in estimates are adjusted prospectively in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

(c) Business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets

 

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, by recognizing the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired business, measured at their acquisition date fair values. Contingent consideration is included within the acquisition cost and is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date. A liability resulting from contingent consideration is re-measured to fair value as of each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. All assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses, including goodwill, are assigned to reporting units. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred under selling, general and administrative expenses.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

 

Goodwill represents the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible net assets purchased. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis on December 31, based on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. The Company performs an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on the assessment of events or circumstances, the Company performs a quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment if it determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, based on the quantitative impairment analysis, the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of such goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. In addition, the Company performs a qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. See Note 10 for information and related disclosures.

 

Intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other assets or in a business combination and developed internally are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss based on their estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Customer-related intangible assets

 

1-11 years

Marketing-related intangible assets

 

1-10 years

Technology-related intangible assets

 

2-8 years

 

Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using a method of amortization that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise realized.

In business combinations where the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible net assets purchased exceeds the cost of the acquired business, the Company recognizes the resulting gain under “Other operating (income) expense, net” in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company also capitalizes certain software and technology-related development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software or technology for sale/lease to customers when the initial design phase is completed and commercial and technological feasibility has been established. Any development cost incurred before technological feasibility is established is expensed as incurred as research and development costs. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed design program or, in its absence, completion of a working model. Capitalized software and technology costs include only (i) external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining software and technology and (ii) compensation and related benefits for employees who are directly associated with the project.

Costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software or technology for sale/lease to customers which are under development and not put to use are disclosed under “intangible assets under development.” Advances paid towards the acquisition of intangible assets outstanding as of each balance sheet date are disclosed under “intangible assets under development.”

Capitalized software and technology costs are included in intangible assets under technology-related intangible assets on the Company’s balance sheet and are amortized on a straight-line basis when placed into service over the estimated useful lives of the software and technology.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of intangible assets that are being amortized at each reporting period wherever events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization, and the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life.

 

(d) Financial instruments and concentration of credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are reflected principally in cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments with corporations and banks with high investment grade ratings, limits the amount of credit exposure with any one corporation or bank and conducts ongoing evaluations of the creditworthiness of the corporations and banks with which it does business. To reduce its credit risk on accounts receivable, the Company conducts ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The General Electric Company (“GE”) accounted for 16% and 12% of the Company’s receivables as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively. GE accounted for 13% and 10% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.  

 

(e) Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced or to be invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in net cash (used for)/provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company maintains an allowance for current expected credit losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses which are adjusted to current market conditions and a reasonable and supportable forecast. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

 

(f) Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives its revenue primarily from business process management services, including analytics, consulting and related digital solutions and information technology services, which are provided primarily on a time-and-material, transaction or fixed-price basis. The Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of control of promised services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. Revenues from services rendered under time-and-materials and transaction-based contracts are recognized as the services are provided. The Company’s fixed-price contracts include contracts for customization of applications, maintenance and support services. Revenues from these contracts are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. The Company accrues for revenue and unbilled receivables for services rendered between the last billing date and the balance sheet date.

 

The Company’s contracts with its customers also include incentive payments received for discrete benefits delivered or promised to be delivered to the customer or service level agreements that could result in credits or refunds to the customer. Revenues relating to such arrangements are accounted for as variable consideration when the amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur.

 

The Company records deferred revenue attributable to certain process transition activities where such activities do not represent separate performance obligations. Revenues relating to such transition activities are classified under contract liabilities and subsequently recognized ratably over the period in which the related services are performed. Costs relating to such transition activities are fulfillment costs which are directly related to the contract and result in the generation or enhancement of resources. Such costs are expected to be recoverable under the contract and are therefore classified as contract cost assets and recognized ratably over the estimated expected period of benefit under cost of revenue.

 

Revenues are reported net of value-added tax, business tax and applicable discounts and allowances. Reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses received from customers have been included as part of revenues.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

 

Revenue for performance obligations that are satisfied over time is recognized in accordance with the methods prescribed for measuring progress. The input (cost expended) method has been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and the satisfaction of a performance obligation. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates.

 

The Company enters into multiple-element revenue arrangements in which a customer may purchase a combination of products or services. The Company determines whether each product or service promised to a customer is capable of being distinct, and is distinct in the context of the contract. If not, the promised products or services are combined and accounted for as a single performance obligation. In the event of a multiple-element revenue arrangement, the Company allocates the arrangement consideration to separately identifiable performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices.

 

Certain contracts may include offerings such as sale of licenses, which may be perpetual or subscription-based. Revenue from distinct perpetual licenses is recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer. Revenue from distinct, non-cancellable, subscription-based licenses is recognized at the point in time it is transferred to the customer. Revenue from any associated maintenance or ongoing support services is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. For a combined software license/services performance obligation, revenue is recognized over the period that the services are performed.

 

All incremental and direct costs incurred for acquiring contracts, such as certain sales commissions, are classified as contract cost assets. Such costs are amortized over the expected period of benefit and recorded under selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Other upfront fees paid to customers are classified as contract assets. Such fees are amortized over the expected period of benefit and recorded as an adjustment to the transaction price and deducted from revenue.

 

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing. If a payment is received in respect of services prior to the delivery of services, the payment is recognized as an advance from the customer and classified as a contract liability. Contract assets and contract liabilities relating to the same customer contract are offset against each other and presented on a net basis in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Significant judgements

 

The Company often enters into contracts with its customers that include promises to transfer multiple products and services to the customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately rather than together may require significant judgement.

 

Judgement is also required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. In instances where the standalone selling price is not directly observable, it is determined using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs.

 

Customer contracts sometimes include incentive payments received for discrete benefits delivered to the customer or service level agreements that could result in credits or refunds to the customer. Such amounts are estimated at contract inception and are adjusted at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur.

 

(g) Leases

 

At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on whether: (1) the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the term of the contract, and (3) the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset. At the inception of a lease, the consideration in the contract is allocated to each lease component based on its relative standalone price to determine the lease payments.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

 

Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: (1) the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, (2) the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, (3) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset or (4) the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any one of the above criteria.

 

For all leases at the lease commencement date, a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability are recognized. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease. Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the lease commencement. The lease liabilities are subsequently measured on an amortized cost basis. The lease liability is adjusted to reflect interest on the liability and the lease payments made during the period. Interest on the lease liability is determined as the amount that results in a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability.

 

The ROU asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The ROU asset for each lease initially includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, accrued lease liabilities and any lease incentives received or any initial direct costs incurred by the Company.

 

The ROU asset of finance leases is subsequently measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The ROU asset of operating leases is subsequently measured from the carrying amount of the lease liability at the end of each reporting period, and is equal to the carrying amount of lease liabilities adjusted for (1) unamortized initial direct costs, (2) prepaid/(accrued) lease payments and (3) the unamortized balance of lease incentives received.

 

The carrying value of ROU assets is reviewed for impairment, similar to long-lived assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

 

The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases and to use the recognition exemptions for lease contracts that, at commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option (“short-term leases”). 

 

Significant judgements

 

The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

 

Under certain of its leases, the Company has a renewal and termination option to lease assets for additional terms between one and ten years. The Company applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. The Company considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal or termination option. After the commencement date, the Company reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within the Company’s control and affects its ability to exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew or terminate.

 

The Company has applied an incremental borrowing rate for the purpose of computing lease liabilities based on the remaining lease term and the rates prevailing in the jurisdictions where leases were executed.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

 

(h) Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenue primarily consists of salaries and benefits (including stock-based compensation), recruitment, training and related costs of employees who are directly responsible for the performance of services for customers, their supervisors and certain support personnel who may be dedicated to a particular client or a set of processes. It also includes operational expenses, which consist of facilities maintenance expenses, travel and living expenses, rent, IT expenses, and consulting and certain other expenses. Consulting charges represent the cost of consultants and contract resources with specialized skills who are directly responsible for the performance of services for clients and travel and other billable costs related to the Company’s clients. It also includes depreciation of property, plant and equipment, and amortization of intangible and ROU assets which are directly related to providing services that generate revenue.

 

(i) Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses consist of expenses relating to salaries and benefits (including stock-based compensation) as well as costs related to recruitment, training and retention of senior management and other support personnel in enabling functions such as human resources, finance, legal, marketing, sales and sales support, and other support personnel. The operational costs component of SG&A expenses also includes travel and living costs for such personnel. SG&A expenses also include acquisition-related costs, legal and professional fees (which represent the costs of third party legal, tax, accounting and other advisors), investment in research and development, digital technology, advanced automation and robotics, and an allowance for credit losses. It also includes depreciation of property, plant and equipment, and amortization of intangibles and ROU assets other than those included in cost of revenue.

    

(j) Credit losses

 

Allowance for credit losses is recognized for all debt instruments other than those held at fair value through profit or loss. The Company pools its accounts receivable (other than deferred billings) based on similar risk characteristics in estimating expected credit losses. Credit losses for accounts receivable are based on the roll-rate method, and the Company recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date. The Company has established a provision matrix based on historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors and the economic environment. The Company believes the most relevant forward-looking factors are economic environment, gross domestic product, inflation rates and unemployment rates for each of the countries in which the Company or its customers operate, and accordingly the Company adjusts historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors. At every reporting date, observed historical default rates are updated to reflect changes in the Company’s forward-looking estimates.

 

Credit losses for other financial assets and deferred billings are based on the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method. Under the DCF method, the allowance for credit losses reflects the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected. The expected cash flows are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset. Such allowances are based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset which includes consideration of prepayments based on the Company’s expectation as of the balance sheet date.

 

A financial asset is written off when it is deemed uncollectable and there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows. Expected recoveries of amounts previously written off, not to exceed the aggregate amounts previously written off, are included in determining the allowance at each reporting period.

 

Credit losses are presented as a credit loss expense within “Selling, general and administrative expenses.” Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.

(k) Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in the consolidated financial statements of prior periods to conform to the classification used in the current period. The impact of such reclassifications on the consolidated financial statements is not material.

 

(l) Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets, including certain intangible assets, to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Such assets are required to be tested for impairment if the carrying amount of the assets is higher than the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. The impairment amount to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value. The Company determines fair value by using a discounted cash flow approach.

 

(m) Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

The authoritative bodies release standards and guidance which are assessed by management for impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company has adopted the following recently released accounting standards:

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of credit losses on financial instruments.” The ASU requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held by the Company. The ASU requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on financial assets ranging from short-term trade accounts receivable to long-term financings. The ASU became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, including interim periods in fiscal year 2020.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326).” The ASU provides final guidance that allows entities to make an irrevocable one-time election upon adoption of the new credit losses standard to measure financial assets at amortized cost (except held-to-maturity securities) using the fair value option. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, including interim periods in fiscal year 2020.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses.” This ASU clarifies that the scope of the guidance related to expected recoveries extends to purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2016-13, the amendments in ASU 2019-11 are effective on the same date as those in ASU 2016-13. For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13, the amendments in ASU 2019-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2020 and interim periods therein.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, ASU 2019-05 and ASU 2019-11 beginning January 1, 2020, including interim periods in fiscal year 2020. The cumulative impact of the adoption of these standards has been described in section (j) above.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The ASU modifies the disclosure requirements with respect to fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, including interim periods in fiscal year 2020. The Company assessed the impact of this ASU and concluded that it does not have any material impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” The ASU modifies the disclosure requirements with respect to defined benefit pension plans. The Company adopted this ASU in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract.” The ASU modifies the capitalization requirements with respect to implementation costs incurred by the customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. The Company assessed the impact of this ASU and concluded that it does not have any material impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments.” The ASU provides additional guidance on the recognition of credit losses and addresses partial-term fair value hedges, fair value hedge basis adjustments and certain transition requirements, among other things. The ASU also addresses the scope of the guidance on the requirement for re-measurement under ASC 820 when using the measurement alternative, certain disclosure requirements and which foreign currency-denominated equity securities must be re-measured at historical exchange rates. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, including interim periods in fiscal year 2020. The Company assessed the impact of this ASU and concluded that it does not have any material impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures.

 

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-08, “Codification Improvements—Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer.” The ASU clarifies that share-based consideration payable to a customer is measured in accordance with guidance under AC 718--Share based payments. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, including interim periods in fiscal year 2020. The Company assessed the impact of this ASU and concluded that it does not have any material impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This ASU removes certain exceptions for investments, intra-period tax allocations and interim calculations, and adds guidance to reduce complexity in accounting for income taxes. The ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning January 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company assessed the impact of this ASU and concluded that it does not have any material impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures.

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments.” This ASU includes amendments that make the Codification easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications in relation to financial instruments. This guidance was effective immediately upon issuance. The additional elements of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position and or disclosures.

 

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-09, “Codification Improvements to Topic 470, Debt— Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-10762.” The SEC in its Release No. 33-10762 in March 2020 has adopted new rules on financial disclosure requirements for guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities and affiliates whose securities collateralize issuers’ securities. This ASU revises certain SEC paragraphs of the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) to reflect, as appropriate, the amended financial statement disclosure requirements in SEC Release 33-10762. The amended rules are effective January 4, 2021 but early compliance is permitted. The Company adopted the amended rules issued by the SEC in its Release No. 33-10762 in the first quarter of 2020. Accordingly, the Company has already adopted the amendments under this ASU, and the disclosures related to guarantor financial information have been omitted from the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and included under Part II, Item 7—“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

 

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-10, “Codification Improvements.” The amendments in this ASU do not change the GAAP requirements, but they improve consistency by amending the codification to include all disclosure guidance in the appropriate disclosure sections and also clarify the application of various provisions in the codification by amending and adding new headings, cross referencing to other guidance, and refining or correcting terminology. The ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning January 1, 2021. Early application is permitted. The Company assessed the impact of this ASU and concluded that it does not have any material impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848).” This ASU expands the scope of Topic 848 to include derivative instruments impacted by discounting transition. Discounting transition refers to the changing of interest rates used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment of derivative instruments to transition to alternative rates. ASU 2021-01 extends some of Topic 848’s optional expedients to derivative contracts impacted by the discounting transition, including for derivatives that do not reference LIBOR or other reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. The ASU is effective immediately upon issuance. However an entity may elect to apply this update on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, or prospectively to new modifications made on or after any date within the interim period that includes January 7, 2021. The Company assessed the impact of this ASU and concluded that it does not have any material impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures.

   

The following recently released accounting standards have not yet been adopted by the Company:

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance in US GAAP on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by what the guidance calls reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company has assessed the impact of this ASU, and since a substantial portion of the Company’s LIBOR-linked credit facilities are either hedged or short-term in nature, and the Company’s credit agreements address replacement mechanisms in the event LIBOR is discontinued, the Company concluded that the adoption of this ASU does not have any material impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures.

3. Business acquisitions

 

 

(a)

Enquero Inc

 

On December 31, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests in Enquero Inc, a California corporation, and certain affiliated entities in India, the Netherlands and Canada (collectively referred to as “Enquero”) for total purchase consideration of $148,905. This amount represents cash consideration of $137,274, net of cash acquired of $11,631. The total purchase consideration paid by the Company to the sellers on the closing date was $141,938, resulting in a payable of $6,967, of which $1,412 is outstanding as of March 31, 2021. The Company is evaluating adjustments related to certain income and other taxes, which, when determined, may result in the recognition of additional assets or liabilities as of the acquisition date. The measurement period will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. This acquisition is expected to increase the scale and depth of the Company’s data and analytics capabilities and enhance the Company’s ability to accelerate the digital transformation journeys of its clients through cloud technologies and advanced data analytics.

 

In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded $49,000 in customer-related intangibles, $9,500 in marketing-related intangibles and $1,400 in technology-related intangibles, which have a weighted average amortization period of four years. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounting to $86,669 has been allocated using a relative fair value allocation method to each of the Company’s reporting segments as follows: to the BCMI segment in the amount of $2,559, to the CGRLH segment in the amount of $22,239 and to the HMS segment in the amount of $61,871. The goodwill arising from this acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill represents primarily the acquired capabilities, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the acquired operations with the Company’s existing operations.

 

Acquisition-related costs of $1,590 have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred. In connection with the transaction, the Company also acquired certain assets with a value of $32,759, assumed certain liabilities amounting to $17,113 and recognized a net deferred tax liability of $13,310. The agreement with the sellers provides a full indemnity to the Company for all pre-closing income and non-income tax liabilities up to a maximum of the purchase consideration, including interest and penalties thereon. The Company would not be financially or materially affected by any liabilities that may arise from such exposures. Accordingly, the Company recognized an indemnification asset of $5,848 based on the information that was available at the date of the acquisition, which is included in the assets taken over by the Company. The results of operations of the acquired business and the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements with effect from the date of the acquisition.

 

 

(b)

SomethingDigital.Com LLC

 

On October 5, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity/limited liability company interests in SomethingDigital.Com LLC, a New York limited liability company, for total purchase consideration of $57,451. This amount represents cash consideration of $56,073, net of cash acquired of $1,378.  The total purchase consideration paid by the Company to the sellers on the closing date was $57,704, resulting in a recoverable of $253, which was received in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company is evaluating adjustments related to certain income and other taxes, which, when determined, may result in the recognition of additional assets or liabilities as of the acquisition date. The measurement period will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. This acquisition supports the Company’s strategy to integrate experience and process innovation to help clients on their digital transformation journeys and expands on the Company’s existing experience capabilities to support end-to-end digital commerce solutions, both business-to-business and business-to-consumer. Additionally, this acquisition expands the Company’s capabilities into Magento Commerce, which powers Adobe Commerce Cloud, and Shopify Plus, a cloud-based ecommerce platform for high volume merchants.

3. Business acquisitions (Continued)

 

In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded $11,900 in customer-related intangibles and $3,500 in marketing-related intangibles which have a weighted average amortization period of four years. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounting to $36,926 has been allocated using a relative fair value allocation method to two of the Company’s reporting segments as follows: to the CGRLH segment in the amount of $30,373 and to the HMS segment in the amount of $6,553. Of the total goodwill arising from this acquisition, $35,084 is deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill represents primarily the acquired capabilities, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the acquired operations with those of the Company’s existing operations.

 

Acquisition-related costs of $1,060 have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred. In connection with the transaction, the Company also acquired certain assets with a value of $9,538, assumed certain liabilities amounting to $4,494 and recognized a net deferred tax asset of $81. The results of operations of the acquired business and the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements with effect from the date of the acquisition. 

 

 

(c)

Rightpoint Consulting, LLC

 

On November 12, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity/limited liability company interests in Rightpoint Consulting, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, and certain affiliated entities in the United States and India (collectively referred to as “Rightpoint”) for total purchase consideration of $270,669. This amount includes cash consideration of $268,170, net of cash acquired of $2,499. The total purchase consideration paid by the Company to the sellers on the acquisition date was $248,470, resulting in a payable of $22,199 on the acquisition date. This acquisition expands the Company’s capabilities in improving customer experience.

 

The securities purchase agreement between the Company and the selling equity holders of Rightpoint provided certain of the selling equity holders the option to elect to either (a) receive 100% consideration in cash at the closing date for their limited liability company interests and vested options or (b) “roll over” and retain 25% of their Rightpoint limited liability company interests and vested options for a three-year rollover period and receive cash consideration at closing for the remaining 75% of their Rightpoint limited liability company interests and vested options. Certain selling equity holders elected to receive deferred, variable earn-out consideration with an estimated value of $21,500 over the rollover period of three years which is included in the purchase consideration. The amount of deferred earn-out consideration ultimately payable by the Company to the selling equity holders of Rightpoint will be based on the future revenue multiple of the acquired business. Additionally, under the purchase agreement the selling equity holders are obligated to sell their rollover interests to the Company. Accordingly, the Company has obtained control over 100% of the outstanding equity/limited liability company interests of Rightpoint as of November 12, 2019. See Note 6, “Fair Value Measurements,” for additional details.

 

In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded $46,000 in customer-related intangibles and $29,000 in marketing-related intangibles which have a weighted average amortization period of five years. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounting to $177,181 has been allocated using a relative fair value allocation method to each of the Company’s reporting segments as follows: to the BCMI segment in the amount of $16,983, to the CGRLH segment in the amount of $42,993 and to the HMS segment in the amount of $117,205. Of the total goodwill arising from this acquisition, $91,929 is deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill represents primarily the acquired capabilities, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the acquired operations with those of the Company.

 

Acquisition-related costs of $7,385 have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred. In connection with the transaction, the Company also acquired certain assets with a value of $39,140, assumed certain liabilities amounting to $22,295 and recognized a net deferred tax asset of $1,643. The results of operations of the acquired business and the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements with effect from the date of the acquisition.

The Company values its derivative instruments based on market observable inputs, including both forward and spot prices for the relevant currencies and interest rate indices for relevant interest rates. The quotes are taken from an independent market database.

(d)

The fair value of earn-out consideration, calculated as the present value of expected future payments to be made to the sellers of acquired businesses, was derived by estimating the future financial performance of the acquired businesses using the earn-out formulas and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement and adjusting the result to reflect the Company’s estimate of the likelihood of achievement of such targets. Given the significance of the unobservable inputs, the valuations are classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

(e)

Deferred compensation plan assets consist of life insurance policies held under a Rabbi Trust. Assets held in the Rabbi Trust are valued based on the cash surrender value of the insurance contract, which is determined based on the fair value of the underlying assets included in the insurance portfolio and are therefore classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

(f)

The fair value of the deferred compensation plan liability is derived based on the fair value of the underlying assets in the insurance policies and is therefore classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative financial instruments

 

The Company is exposed to the risk of rate fluctuations on its foreign currency assets and liabilities and on foreign currency denominated forecasted cash flows and interest rates. The Company has established risk management policies, including the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency assets and liabilities, foreign currency denominated forecasted cash flows and interest rate risk. These derivative financial instruments are largely deliverable, non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contracts, treasury rate locks and interest rate swaps. The Company enters into these contracts with counterparties that are banks or other financial institutions, and the Company considers the risk of non-performance by such counterparties not to be material. The forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps mature during a period of up to 45 months and the forecasted transactions are expected to occur during the same period.

Notional amounts are key elements of derivative financial instrument agreements but do not represent the amount exchanged by counterparties and do not measure the Company’s exposure to credit, foreign exchange, interest rate or market risks. However, the amounts exchanged are based on the notional amounts and other provisions of the underlying derivative financial instrument agreements. Notional amounts are denominated in U.S. dollars.

(b)

Balance sheet exposure is denominated in U.S. dollars and denotes the mark-to-market impact of the derivative financial instruments on the reporting date.

 

FASB guidance on derivatives and hedging requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. In accordance with the FASB guidance on derivatives and hedging, the Company designates foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and treasury rate locks as cash flow hedges. Foreign exchange forward contracts are entered into to cover the effects of future exchange rate variability on forecasted revenues and purchases of services, and interest rate swaps and treasury rate locks are entered into to cover interest rate fluctuation risk. In addition to this program, the Company uses derivative instruments that are not accounted for as hedges under the FASB guidance in order to hedge foreign exchange risks related to balance sheet items, such as receivables and intercompany borrowings, that are denominated in currencies other than the Company’s underlying functional currency.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments and their location in the Company’s financial statements are summarized in the table below:

7. Derivative financial instruments (Continued)

 

Cash flow hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain (loss) on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Gains (losses) on the derivatives, representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in earnings as incurred.

 

In March 2021, the Company executed a treasury lock agreement for $350,000 in connection with future interest payments to be made on its senior notes issued by Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l. (“Genpact Luxembourg”) and Genpact USA, Inc. (“Genpact USA”), both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, in March 2021 (the “2021 Senior Notes”), and the treasury lock was designated as a cash flow hedge. The treasury lock agreement was terminated on March 23, 2021 and a deferred gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2021 Senior Notes. The remaining gain to be amortized related to the treasury lock agreement as of March 31, 2021 was $814.

In connection with cash flow hedges, the gains (losses) recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”), and the related tax effects are summarized below:

(a)

These forward foreign exchange contracts were entered into to hedge fluctuations in foreign exchange rates for recognized balance sheet items such as receivables and intercompany borrowings, and were not originally designated as hedges under FASB guidance on derivatives and hedging. Realized gains (losses) and changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in foreign exchange gains (losses), net in the consolidated statements of income.

 

(b)

These forward foreign exchange contracts were initially designated as cash flow hedges under ASC guidance on derivatives and hedging. These contracts were terminated because certain forecasted transactions were no longer expected to occur and therefore hedge accounting was no longer applied. Subsequently the realized gains (losses) were recorded in foreign exchange gains (losses) net in the consolidated statements of income.

 

In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has reevaluated its hedging arrangements. The Company has considered the effect of changes, if any, in both counterparty credit risk and the Company’s own non-performance risk while assessing hedge effectiveness and measuring hedge ineffectiveness. The Company believes that its hedges continue to be effective after taking into account the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s hedged transactions.

As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, the limits available were $14,311 and $14,260, respectively, of which $7,809 and $7,213, respectively, was utilized, constituting non-funded drawdown.

 

 

(b)

A fund-based and non-fund based revolving credit facility of $500,000, which the Company obtained through an amendment of its existing credit agreement on August 9, 2018, as described in Note 12.  Prior to the amendment, the Company’s revolving credit facility was $350,000. The amended credit facility expires on August 8, 2023. The funded drawdown amount under the Company’s revolving facilities bore interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 1.375% as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021. The unutilized amount on the revolving facilities bore a commitment fee of 0.20% as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021.  As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, a total of $252,347 and $2,347, respectively, was utilized, of which $250,000 and $0, respectively, constituted funded drawdown and $2,347 and $2,347, respectively, constituted non-funded drawdown. The Company’s amended credit agreement contains certain customary covenants, including a maximum leverage covenant and a minimum interest coverage ratio.

12. Long-term debt

 

In August 2018, the Company amended its 2015 credit facility (“the 2015 Facility”), which was comprised of an $800,000 term loan and a $350,000 revolving credit facility. The amended facility is comprised of a $680,000 term loan, which represents the outstanding balance under the 2015 Facility as of the date of amendment, and a $500,000 revolving credit facility. The amended facility expires on August 8, 2023. The amendment did not result in a substantial modification of $550,814 of the outstanding term loan under the 2015 Facility. Further, as a result of the amendment, the Company extinguished the outstanding term loan under the 2015 Facility of $129,186 and obtained additional funding of $129,186, resulting in no change to the outstanding principal of the term loan under the amended facility.  In connection with the amendment, the Company expensed $2,029, representing partial acceleration of the amortization of the existing unamortized debt issuance costs and an additional fee paid to the Company’s lenders related to the term loan. The overall borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility increased from $350,000 to $500,000. The amendment of the revolving credit facility resulted in accelerated amortization of $82 relating to existing unamortized debt issuance cost. The remaining unamortized costs and an additional third-party fee paid in connection with the amendment will be amortized over the term of the amended facility, which will expire on August 8, 2023.

 

Borrowings under the amended credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at the election of the Company, either LIBOR plus an applicable margin equal to 1.375% per annum, compared to a margin of 1.50% under the 2015 Facility, or a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.375% per annum, compared to a margin of 0.50% under the 2015 Facility, in each case subject to adjustment based on the Company’s debt ratings provided by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Based on the Company’s election and current credit rating, the applicable interest rate is equal to LIBOR plus 1.375% per annum. The amended credit agreement restricts certain payments, including dividend payments, if there is an event of default under the credit agreement or if the Company is not, or after making the payment would not be, in compliance with certain financial covenants contained in the amended credit agreement.  These covenants require the Company to maintain a net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio of below 3x and an interest coverage ratio of more than 3x. During the period ended March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the credit agreement, including all of the financial covenants therein. The Company’s retained earnings are not subject to any restrictions on availability to make dividend payments to shareholders, subject to compliance with the financial covenants described above that are contained in the amended credit agreement.

 

 

As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, the amount outstanding under the term loan, net of debt amortization expense of $1,150 and $1,033, was $593,850 and $585,467, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, the term loan bore interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 1.375% per annum. Indebtedness under the amended credit facility is unsecured. The amount outstanding on the term loan as of March 31, 2021 requires quarterly payments of $8,500, and the balance of the loan is due and payable upon the maturity of the term loan on August 8, 2023.

 

The maturity profile of the term loan outstanding as of March 31, 2021, net of debt amortization expense, is as follows:

Deferred compensation plan

 

On July 1, 2018, Genpact LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, adopted an executive deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides a select group of U.S.-based members of Company management with the opportunity to defer from 1% to 80% of their base salary and from 1% to 100% of their qualifying bonus compensation (or such other minimums or maximums as determined by the Plan administrator from time to time) pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Participant deferrals are 100% vested at all times.  The Plan also allows for discretionary supplemental employer contributions by the Company, in its sole discretion, which will be subject to a two-year vesting schedule (50% vesting on the one-year anniversary of approval of the contribution and 50% vesting on the second year anniversary of approval of the contribution) or such other vesting schedule as determined by the Company.  However, no such contribution has been made by the Company to date.

 

The Plan also provides an option for participants to elect to receive deferred compensation and earnings thereon on either fixed date(s) no earlier than two years following the applicable Plan year (or end of the applicable performance period for performance-based bonus compensation) or following a separation from service, in each case either in a lump sum or in annual installments over a term of up to 15 years. Participants can elect to change or re-defer their rights to receive the deferred compensation until the 10th anniversary following their separation from service, subject to fulfillment of certain conditions. Each Plan participant’s compensation deferrals are credited or debited with notional investment gains and losses equal to the performance of selected hypothetical investment funds offered under the Plan and elected by the participant.  

 

The Company has investments in funds held in Company-owned life insurance policies which are held in a Rabbi Trust that are classified as trading securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of the securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classifications at each balance sheet date. The securities are classified as trading securities because they are held for resale in anticipation of short-term fluctuations in market prices. The trading securities are stated at fair value.

 

The liability for the deferred compensation plan was $26,390 and $32,207 as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively, and is included in “accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “other liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

In connection with the administration of the Plan, the Company has purchased company-owned life insurance policies insuring the lives of certain employees. The cash surrender value of these policies was $26,832 and $32,707 as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively. The cash surrender value of these insurance policies is included in “other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, the change in the fair value of the Plan assets was $(1,558) and $861, respectively, which is included in “other income (expense), net,” in the consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, the change in the fair value of deferred compensation liabilities was $(1,547) and $803, respectively, which is included in “selling, general and administrative expenses.”

16. Stock-based compensation

The Company has issued options under the Genpact Limited 2007 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2007 Omnibus Plan”) and the Genpact Limited 2017 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2017 Omnibus Plan”) to eligible persons, including employees, directors and certain other persons associated with the Company.

Under the 2007 Omnibus Plan, shares underlying options forfeited, expired, terminated or cancelled under any of the Company’s predecessor plans were added to the number of shares otherwise available for grant under the 2007 Omnibus Plan. The 2007 Omnibus Plan was amended and restated on April 11, 2012 to increase the number of common shares authorized for issuance by 5,593,200 shares to 15,000,000 shares. Further, during the year ended December 31, 2012, the number of common shares authorized for issuance under the 2007 Omnibus Plan was increased by 8,858,823 shares as a result of a one-time adjustment to outstanding unvested share awards in connection with a special dividend payment.

On May 9, 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the 2017 Omnibus Plan, pursuant to which 15,000,000 Company common shares are available for issuance. The 2017 Omnibus Plan was amended and restated on April 5, 2019 to increase the number of common shares authorized for issuance by 8,000,000 shares to 23,000,000 shares. No grants may be made under the 2007 Omnibus Plan after the date of adoption of the 2017 Omnibus Plan.  Grants that were outstanding under the 2007 Omnibus Plan as of the date of Company’s adoption of the 2017 Omnibus Plan remain subject to the terms of the 2007 Omnibus Plan.

Stock-based compensation costs relating to the foregoing plans during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021 were $17,135 and $17,084, respectively.  These costs have been allocated to “cost of revenue” and “selling, general and administrative expenses.”     

 

Stock options

 

All options granted under the 2007 and 2017 Omnibus Plans are exercisable into common shares of the Company, have a contractual period of ten years and vest over three to five years unless specified otherwise in the applicable award agreement. The Company recognizes compensation cost over the vesting period of the option.

 

Compensation cost is determined at the date of grant by estimating the fair value of an option using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The following table shows the significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021. The Company granted options covering 431,924 shares in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The Company has granted restricted share units (“RSUs”) under the 2007 and 2017 Omnibus Plans. Each RSU represents the right to receive one common share. The fair value of each RSU is the market price of one common share of the Company on the date of the grant. The RSUs granted to date have graded vesting schedules of three months to four years. The compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. A summary of RSU activity during the three months ended March 31, 2021 is set out below:

As of March 31, 2021, the total remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to RSUs amounted to $25,895, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite vesting period of 2.8 years.

 

Performance units

 

The Company also grants stock awards in the form of performance units (“PUs”) and has granted PUs under both the 2007 and 2017 Omnibus Plans.

 

Each PU represents the right to receive one common share at a future date based on the Company’s performance against specified targets. PUs granted to date have vesting schedules of six months to three years. The fair value of each PU is the market price of one common share of the Company on the date of grant and assumes that performance targets will be achieved. PUs granted under the plans are subject to cliff vesting. The compensation expense for such awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting terms. During the performance period, the Company’s estimate of the number of shares to be issued is adjusted upward or downward based upon the probability of achievement of the performance targets. The ultimate number of shares issued and the related compensation cost recognized is based on a comparison of the final performance metrics to the specified targets.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

 

On May 1, 2008, the Company adopted the Genpact Limited U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Genpact Limited International Employee Stock Purchase Plan (together, the “ESPP”). In April 2018, these plans were amended and restated, and their terms were extended to August 31, 2028.  

 

The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase the Company’s common shares through payroll deductions at 90% of the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the last business day of each purchase interval. The dollar amount of common shares purchased under the ESPP may not exceed 15% of the participating employee’s base salary, subject to a cap of $25 per employee per calendar year. With effect from September 1, 2009, the offering periods commence on the first business day in March, June, September and December of each year and end on the last business day of the subsequent May, August, November and February. 4,200,000 common shares have been reserved for issuance in the aggregate over the term of the ESPP.

Share repurchases

 

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has authorized repurchases of up to $1,750,000 under the Company’s existing share repurchase program, including an additional $500,000 approved during the first quarter of 2021. The Company’s share repurchase program does not obligate it to acquire any specific number of shares. Under the program, shares may be purchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, the Company repurchased 1,042,188 and 3,297,966 of its common shares, respectively, on the open market at a weighted average price of $43.18 and $40.68 per share, respectively, for an aggregate cash amount of $45,000 and $134,152, respectively. All repurchased shares have been retired. 

 

The Company records repurchases of its common shares on the settlement date of each transaction. Shares purchased and retired are deducted to the extent of their par value from common stock and from retained earnings for the excess over par value. Direct costs incurred to acquire the shares are included in the total cost of the shares purchased. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, retained earnings were reduced by the direct costs related to share repurchases of $21 and $66, respectively.

 

Approximately $502,846 remained available for share repurchases under the Company’s existing share repurchase program as of March 31, 2021. This repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and does not specify an expiration date.

18. Earnings per share

 

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with FASB guidance on earnings per share. Basic and diluted earnings per common share give effect to the change in the number of Company common shares outstanding. The calculation of basic earnings per common share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. The potentially dilutive shares, consisting of outstanding options on common shares, restricted share units, common shares to be issued under the ESPP and performance units, have been included in the computation of diluted net earnings per share and the number of weighted average shares outstanding, except where the result would be anti-dilutive.

 

The number of shares subject to stock awards outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their effect was anti-dilutive is 304,070 and 1,575,294 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

19. Segment reporting

The Company manages various types of business process and information technology services in an integrated manner for clients in various industries and geographic locations. The Company's operating segments are significant strategic business units that align its products and services with how it manages its business, approaches key markets and interacts with its clients. Effective from the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019, the Company implemented operational changes in how its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) manages its businesses, including resource allocation and performance assessment. As a result of these changes, the Company now has three operating segments, representing the individual businesses that are run separately under the new structure.

The Company’s reportable segments are as follows: (1) Banking, Capital Markets and Insurance (“BCMI”); (2) Consumer Goods, Retail, Life Sciences and Healthcare (“CGRLH”); and (3) High Tech, Manufacturing and Services (“HMS”).

The Company has restated segment information for the historical periods presented herein to conform to the current presentation. This change in segment presentation does not affect the Company's consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as the CODM, reviews operating segment revenue, which is a GAAP measure, and operating segment adjusted income from operations, which is a non-GAAP measure. The Company does not allocate and therefore the CODM does not evaluate stock based compensation expenses, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, foreign exchange gain/(losses), interest income/(expense), restructuring expenses, acquisition related expenses, other income/(expense), or income taxes by segment. The Company’s operating assets and liabilities pertain to multiple segments. The Company manages assets and liabilities on a total company basis, not by operating segment, and therefore asset and liabilities information and capital expenditures by operating segment are not presented to the CODM and are not reviewed by the CODM.

Disaggregation of revenue

 

In the following table, the Company’s revenue is disaggregated by customer classification:

All revenue from GE is included in revenue from the HMS segment, and the remainder of revenue from the HMS segment consists of revenue from Global Clients. All of the segment revenue from both the BCMI and CGRLH segments consists of revenue from Global Clients. Refer to Note 19 for details on net revenues attributable to each of the Company’s segments.

 

The Company has evaluated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021 to ensure that revenue is recognized after considering all impacts to the extent currently known. Impacts observed include constraints on the Company’s ability to render services, whether due to full or partial shutdowns of the Company’s facilities or significant travel restrictions, penalties relating to breaches of service level agreements, and contract terminations or contract performance delays initiated by clients. The Company’s net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were lower than expected before the onset of the pandemic, primarily due to delays in obtaining client approvals to shift to a virtual, work-from-home operating environment, whether as a result of regulatory constraints or due to privacy or security concerns. The COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant impact on the Company’s net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Due to the nature of the pandemic, the Company will continue to monitor developments to identify significant uncertainties relating to revenue in future periods.

 

Contract balances

 

Accounts receivable include amounts for services that the Company has performed but for which payment has not been received. The Company typically follows a 30-day billing cycle and, as such, at any point in time may have accrued up to 30 days of revenues that have not been billed. The Company has determined that in instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the related contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. Refer to Note 5 for details on the Company’s accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses.

 

The following table shows the details of the Company’s contract balances:

20. Net revenues (Continued)

 

Contract assets represent the contract acquisition fees or other upfront fees paid to a customer. Such costs are amortized over the expected period of benefit and recorded as an adjustment to the transaction price and deducted from revenue. The Company’s assessment did not indicate any significant impairment losses on its contract assets for the periods presented.

 

Contract liabilities include that portion of revenue for which payments have been received in advance from customers. The Company also defers revenues attributable to certain process transition activities for which costs have been capitalized by the Company as contract fulfillment costs. Consideration received from customers, if any, relating to such transition activities is also included as part of contract liabilities. The contract liabilities are included within “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “Other liabilities” in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. The revenues are recognized as (or when) the performance obligation is fulfilled under the contract with the customer.

 

Changes in the Company’s contract asset and liability balances during the year ended December 31, 2020 and the three months ended March 31, 2021 were a result of normal business activity and not materially impacted by any other factors.

 

Revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020 and the three months ended March 31, 2021 that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the period was $102,893 and $58,892, respectively.

23. Income taxes

 

The Company determines its tax provision for interim periods using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if its estimated tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment.  

 

The Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 24.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, up from 22.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in the Company’s ETR is primarily due to the expiration of certain tax benefits in 2021 and an increase in discrete benefits recorded in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2021.

 

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits amounting to $34,300, which, if recognized, would impact the Company’s ETR.

 

The following table summarizes activities related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions for the three months ended March 31, 2021:

As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, the Company had accrued approximately $6,369 and $5,557, respectively, in interest and $900 and $723, respectively, for penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020 and the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized approximately $662 and ($783), respectively, in interest on unrecognized tax benefits.

25. Commitments and contingencies

 

Capital commitments

 

As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, the Company has committed to spend $5,128 and $4,405, respectively, under agreements to purchase property, plant and equipment. This amount is net of capital advances paid in respect of these purchases.

 

Bank guarantees

 

The Company has outstanding bank guarantees and letters of credit amounting to $10,156 and $9,560 as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively. Bank guarantees are generally provided to government agencies and excise and customs authorities for the purpose of maintaining a bonded warehouse. These guarantees may be revoked if the government agencies suffer any losses or damages through the breach of any of the covenants contained in the agreements governing such guarantees.

 

Other commitments

 

Certain units of the Company’s Indian subsidiaries are established as Software Technology Parks of India units or Special Economic Zone (“SEZ”) units under the relevant regulations issued by the Government of India. These units are exempt from customs and other duties on imported and indigenous capital goods, stores and spares. SEZ units are also exempt from the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) that was introduced in India in 2017. The Company has undertaken to pay taxes and duties, if any, in respect of capital goods, stores, spares and services consumed duty-free, in the event that certain terms and conditions are not fulfilled.

Contingency

 

In February 2019, there was a judicial pronouncement in India with respect to defined contribution benefit payments interpreting certain statutory defined contribution obligations of employees and employers. It is not currently clear whether the interpretation set out in the pronouncement has retrospective application. If applied retrospectively, the interpretation would result in an increase in contributions payable by the Company for past periods for certain of its India-based employees. There are numerous interpretative challenges concerning the retrospective application of the judgment. Due to such challenges and a lack of interpretive guidance and based on legal advice the Company has obtained on the matter, it is currently impracticable to reliably estimate the timing and amount of any payments the Company may be required to make. Accordingly, the Company plans to obtain further clarity and will evaluate the amount of a potential provision, if any.

 

The Indian taxing authorities (“ITA”) have initiated proceedings to examine the availability of the tax exemption claimed in respect of exports of services and related refunds under the GST tax regime and the previous service tax regime. In the second quarter of 2020, the ITA began to challenge or reject the Company’s Indian GST and service tax refunds in certain Indian states. In total, refunds of $16,090 have been denied or challenged by the ITA, and additional refunds may be denied.

 

The Company had requested these refunds pursuant to the tax exemption available for exports under the previous service tax regime as well as the current GST regime in respect of services performed by the Company in India for affiliates and clients outside of India. In denying the refunds, the ITA have taken the position that the services provided are local services, which interpretation, if correct, would make the service tax and GST exemption on exports unavailable to the Company in respect of such services. The Company is pursuing appeals of the denial of these refunds before relevant appellate authorities. The Company believes that the denial of the refunds claimed pursuant to the service tax and GST exemption is incorrect and that the risk that the liability will materialize is remote. Accordingly, no reserve has been provided as of March 31, 2021. Additional potentially material challenges and assessments may result from ongoing proceedings.

 

Additionally, an affiliate of the Company in India received an assessment order in 2016 seeking to assess tax amounting to $112,216 (including interest to the date of the order) on certain transactions that occurred in 2013. This amount excludes penalty or interest accrued since the date of the order. The Company filed an appeal against this assessment order with the Commissioner Income Tax (Appeals), the first tax appellant authority in India, which ruled against the Company.

25. Commitments and contingencies (continued)

 

Subsequently, the Company filed an appeal with the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal of India (“Tribunal”). The Tribunal has accepted the legal arguments raised by the Company and the assessment order has been cancelled. The taxes paid under protest amounting to $27,556 are yet to be refunded to the Company. The Indian tax authorities may appeal the order of the Tribunal before higher appellate authorities. Based on its evaluation of the facts underlying the transaction and legal advice received, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that this transaction would not be subject to tax liability in India. Accordingly, no reserve has been provided as of March 31, 2021.

 

In September 2020, the Indian Parliament approved the Code on Social Security, 2020 (the “Code”), which will impact the Company’s contributions to its defined contribution and defined benefit plans for employees based in India. The date the changes will take effect is not yet known and the rules for quantifying the financial impact have not yet been published. The Company will evaluate the impact of the Code on the Company in its financial statements for the period in which the Code becomes effective and the related rules are published.   

 

 

26. Subsequent Events

   Dividend

On May 5, 2021, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has declared a dividend for the second quarter of 2021 of $0.1075 per common share, which is payable on June 23, 2021 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 11, 2021. The declaration of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and subject to Bermuda and other applicable laws.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and with the information under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition to historical information, this discussion includes forward-looking statements and information that involves risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to those listed below and under “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

We have made statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) in, among other sections, Part I, Item 2—“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking terms such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” “could,” “may,” “shall,” “will,” “would” and variations of such words and similar expressions, or the negative of such words or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance, which in some cases may be based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In particular, you should consider the numerous risks outlined in Part II, Item 1A—“Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A—“Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. For a discussion of risks of which we are aware in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, see “Our business and results of operations have been adversely impacted and may in the future be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic” under Part I, Item 1A—“Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the supplemental information included under Part II, Item 1A—“Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Many of the risks, uncertainties and other factors identified below are, and will be, amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Forward-looking statements we may make include, but are not limited to, statements relating to:

Continued impact of COVID-19 on our business and results of operations

 

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to materially impact the global economy and the markets in which we operate. Actions taken by international, federal, state, and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe, including travel bans, quarantines and “stay-at-home” orders, and similar mandates continue to substantially restrict daily activities and have had an impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. This section provides a brief overview of how we are responding to known and anticipated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The remote work arrangements that we implemented in 2020 remain in place in most locations. For the limited number of employees who have returned to our offices, we have implemented new safety, cleaning and medical screening procedures in our offices. In addition, we have also worked and continue to work with national, state, and local authorities to comply with applicable rules and regulations related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Our Global Leadership Council continues to coordinate and oversee our actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including with respect to business continuity planning, revenue and profitability, transformation service offerings to address new and developing client needs, and human resource policies. We believe that this coordinated effort will maximize our flexibility and allow us to quickly implement necessary protocols for devising solutions to the problems we and our clients are facing and may face in the future in relation to the pandemic. We recently announced our collaboration with the COVID Collaborative and the Creative Destruction Lab Rapid Screening Consortium to launch the US Rapid Action Consortium, whose goal is to work together with a diverse ecosystem of leading private sector businesses, experts and organizations to accelerate the use of safe, cost-effective rapid COVID-19 testing to better enable businesses to return to the office safely.

 

Beginning in 2021, some parts of the world have experienced increased availability and administration of vaccines, as well as an easing of travel, workplace and supply chain restrictions. On the other hand, infection rates continue to rise in many countries, including in India where we have substantial operations. A devastating second wave of COVID-19 has been spreading across India since March 2021, leaving millions of people infected and putting an enormous strain on the country’s health care system. The Indian government has reinstated partial lockdowns in certain cases, limiting the movement of our employees. Additionally, we are experiencing higher than normal levels of employee absenteeism due to illness or employees caring for family members who are sick. Although this humanitarian crisis has not yet had a material impact on our ability to deliver services to our clients, we have initiated business continuity procedures assuming a worsening of the situation in these countries, and any further deterioration of the situation in India, including a continued rise in cases, could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, we will continue to assess its impact on the Company and respond accordingly, including by taking further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by regulatory authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our business and the industry in which we operate remains unknown and unpredictable. Our past results may not be indicative of our future performance, and our financial results in future periods, including but not limited to net revenues, income from operations, income from operations margin, net income and earnings per share, may differ materially from historical trends. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to the duration and severity of the pandemic; rates of vaccination; the macroeconomic impact of the spread of the virus; and related government stimulus measures. We are currently unable to predict the full impact that COVID-19 will have on our results from operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration and severity of the pandemic and containment measures and the related macroeconomic impacts. For example, to the extent the pandemic continues to disrupt economic activity globally, we, like other businesses, will not be immune from its effects, and our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected, possibly materially, by prolonged decreases in spending on the types of

43

 


 

services we provide, deterioration of our clients’ credit, or reduced economic activities. In addition, some of our expenses are less variable in nature and do not closely correlate in revenues, which may lead to a decrease in our profitability.

 

For additional information about the risks we face in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, see Part I, Item 1A—“Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the supplemental information included under Part II, Item 1A—“Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are a global professional services firm that makes business transformation real. We drive digital-led innovation and run digitally-enabled intelligent operations for our clients, guided by our experience running thousands of processes for hundreds of Fortune Global 500 clients. We have over 98,000 employees serving clients in key industry verticals from more than 30 countries. Our registered office is located at Canon’s Court, 22 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM 12, Bermuda.

 

In the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we had net revenues of $946.1 million, of which $853.1 million, or 90%, was from clients other than General Electric (“GE”), which we refer to as Global Clients, with the remaining $93.0 million, or 10%, from GE.

Certain Acquisitions

 

On December 31, 2020, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests in Enquero Inc, a California corporation, and certain affiliated entities in India, the Netherlands and Canada (collectively referred to as “Enquero”) for total purchase consideration of $148.9 million. This amount represents cash consideration of $137.3 million, net of cash acquired of $11.6 million. This acquisition increases the scale and depth of our data and analytics capabilities, enhancing our ability to accelerate the digital transformation journeys of our clients through cloud technologies and advanced data analytics. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounting to $86.7 million has been allocated among our three reporting units as follows: Banking, Capital Markets and Insurance (“BCMI”) in the amount of $2.6 million, Consumer Goods, Retail, Life Sciences and Healthcare (“CGRLH”) in the amount of $22.2 million and High Tech, Manufacturing and Services (“HMS”) in the amount of $61.9 million, using a relative fair value allocation method. The goodwill arising from this acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill represents primarily the acquired capabilities, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the acquired operations with our existing operations.

 

On October 5, 2020, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity/limited liability company interests in SomethingDigital.Com LLC, a New York limited liability company, for total purchase consideration of $57.5 million. This amount represents cash consideration of $56.1 million, net of cash acquired of $1.4 million. This acquisition supports our strategy to integrate experience and process innovation to help clients on their digital transformation journeys and expands on our existing experience capabilities to support end-to-end digital commerce solutions, both business-to-business and business-to-consumer. Additionally, this acquisition expands our capabilities into Magento Commerce, which powers Adobe Commerce Cloud, and Shopify Plus, a cloud-based-ecommerce platform for high-volume merchants. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounting to $36.9 million has been allocated among two of our reporting units as follows: CGRLH in the amount of $30.4 million and HMS in the amount of $6.5 million, using a relative fair value allocation method. Of the total goodwill arising from this acquisition, $35.1 million is deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill represents primarily the acquired capabilities, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the acquired operations with our existing operations.

 

On November 12, 2019, we acquired the outstanding equity/limited liability company interests in Rightpoint Consulting, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, and certain affiliated entities in the United States and India (collectively referred to as “Rightpoint”) for total purchase consideration of $270.7 million. This amount includes cash consideration of $268.2 million, net of cash acquired of $2.5 million. This acquisition expands our capabilities in improving customer experience and strengthens our reputation as a thought leader in this space. The securities purchase agreement provided certain of the selling equity holders the option to elect to either (a) receive 100% consideration in cash at the closing date for their limited liability company interests and vested options or (b) “roll over” and retain 25% of their Rightpoint limited liability company interests and vested options and receive consideration in cash at closing for the remaining 75% of their Rightpoint limited liability company interests and vested options. Certain selling equity holders elected to receive deferred, variable earn-out consideration with an estimated value of $21.5 million over the three-year rollover period, which is included in the purchase consideration. The amount of deferred consideration ultimately paid to the rollover sellers will be based on the future revenue multiple of the acquired business. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounting to $177.2 million has been allocated among our three reporting units as follows: BCMI in the

44

 


 

amount of $17.0 million, CGRLH in the amount of $43.0 million and HMS in the amount of $117.2 million. Of the total goodwill arising from this acquisition, $91.9 million is deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill primarily represents the acquired capabilities, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the acquired operations with our existing operations.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

Net revenues. Our net revenues were $946.1 million in the first quarter of 2021, up $22.9 million, or 2.5%, from $923.2 million in the first quarter of 2020. The growth in our net revenues was primarily driven by an increase in transformation services delivered to our Global Clients. Our net revenues from GE declined in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, mainly due to contractual commitments to reduce the number of employees providing services, a reduction by GE in expenditures on information technology services, and the impact of macroeconomic factors on GE’s businesses, as well as GE’s divestitures of certain businesses we continue to serve as Global Clients and the inclusion of revenue from such businesses as Global Client revenue beginning in 2021.

Adjusted for foreign exchange, primarily the impact of changes in the value of the Australian dollar, euro, and U.K. pound sterling against the U.S. dollar, our net revenues grew 1.2% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 on a constant currency1 basis. Revenue growth on a constant currency1 basis is a non-GAAP measure. We provide information about our revenue growth on a constant currency1 basis so that our revenue may be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Total net revenues on a constant currency1 basis are calculated by restating current-period activity using the prior fiscal period’s foreign currency exchange rates and adjusted for hedging gains/losses.

Our average headcount decreased by 0.3% to approximately 97,100 in the first quarter of 2021 from approximately 97,400 in the first quarter of 2020.

Net revenues from Global Clients in the first quarter of 2021 were $853.1 million, up $51.5 million, or 6.4%, from $801.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily driven by growth in our CGRLH segment and high tech clients within our HMS segment. As a percentage of total net revenues, net revenues from Global Clients increased from 86.8% in the first quarter of 2020 to 90.2% in the first quarter of 2021.

Net revenues from GE in the first quarter of 2021 declined 23.5% compared to the first quarter of 2020, mainly due to the contractual productivity commitments described above, a reduction by GE in expenditures on information technology services projects, and the impact of macroeconomic factors on GE’s businesses, as well as the inclusion of $9.2 million in revenue from certain GE-divested businesses as Global Client revenue in 2021 following their divestiture by GE.

Net revenues from our BCMI segment decreased by 9.8% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, as a result of lower revenues due to the restructuring of a contract with a large client in our banking and capital markets vertical, partially offset by slightly higher revenues from clients in our insurance vertical. Net revenues from our CGRLH segment increased by 11.4% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, primarily driven by

an increase in transformation services, which also included revenue from our recent acquisitions of Enquero and SomethingDigital.Com LLC. Net revenues from our HMS segment increased by 0.8% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. An increase in revenues from Global Clients in our high tech, manufacturing and services verticals was partially offset by lower GE revenues. Net revenues from Others primarily represents the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, which is not allocated to the Company’s segments for management’s internal reporting purposes. For additional information, see Note 19—“Segment reporting” under Part I, Item 1—“Financial Statements” above.

 

Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue was $600.9 million in the first quarter of 2021, down $3.8 million, or 0.6%, from the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in our cost of revenue in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 was primarily due to (i) improved utilization of transformation services resources, (ii) lower travel costs as a result of the ongoing impact of COVID-19, and (iii) a non-recurring charge related to retirement fund assets in India recognized in the first quarter of 2020, compared to no such charge recognized in the first quarter of 2021. This decrease was partially offset by (i) an increase in our operational headcount, including in the number of onshore personnel related to large deals and transformation services delivery and from our acquisitions of SomethingDigital.Com LLC and Enquero, and (ii) wage inflation.

 

Gross margin. Our gross margin increased from 34.5% in the first quarter of 2020 to 36.5% in the first quarter of 2021, driven by higher revenue and improved utilization of transformation services resources as well as lower travel costs as a result of the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. Our gross margin for the first quarter of 2020 was negatively impacted by (i) a non-recurring charge related to retirement fund assets in India and (ii) our inability to bill certain clients due to a lack of client consents in certain cases for our employees to work from home.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A). SG&A expenses as a percentage of total net revenues decreased from 21.4% in the first quarter of 2020 to 21.2% in the first quarter of 2021. SG&A expenses were $200.7 million in the first quarter of 2021, up $3.4 million, or 1.7%, from the first quarter of 2020. This increase in expense was primarily due to higher investments in sales and marketing and was partially offset by a decrease in travel costs as a result of the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020.

Amortization of acquired intangibles. Amortization of acquired intangibles was $16.2 million in the first quarter of 2021, up $5.4 million, or 50.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2020. This increase is primarily due to higher amortization expense related to intangibles pertaining to the acquisitions of Enquero and SomethingDigital.Com LLC in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Other operating (income) expense, net. Other operating expense (net of income) was $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to operating income (net of expense) of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. The increase is primarily due to an asset impairment charge of $0.8 million relating to technology-related intangible assets and certain property, plant and equipment in the first quarter of 2021.

 

Income from operations. As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 12.0% in the first quarter of 2020 to 13.5% in the first quarter of 2021. Income from operations increased by $17.2 million to $127.9 million in the first quarter of 2021 from $110.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, driven by higher revenues and associated operating income margins.

Foreign exchange gains (losses), net. We recorded a net foreign exchange gain of $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to a net foreign exchange gain of $14.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. The gain in the first quarter of 2021 was due to the depreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar, while the gain in the first quarter of 2020 was primarily due to the depreciation of the Indian rupee and Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar.

Interest income (expense), net. Our interest expense (net of interest income) was $12.3 million in the first quarter of 2021, up $0.6 million, or 5.5%, compared to the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to a $1.1 million decrease in interest income as a result of a lower interest rate on cash deposits in India, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in interest expense. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower interest expense on earn-out consideration and a lower average London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)-based rate on our revolving credit facility and our term loan due to a decrease in the average LIBOR rate during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, partially offset by the impact of interest rate swaps in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, which we discuss in the section titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition” below. The weighted average rate of interest on our debt, including the net impact of interest rate swaps, decreased from 3.2% in the first quarter of 2020 to 3.0% in the first quarter of 2021.

47

 


 

Other income (expense), net. Our other income (net of expense) was $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to other expense (net of income) of $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2020. The other net income in the first quarter of 2021 is primarily attributable to changes in the fair value of assets in our deferred compensation plan. The other net expense in the first quarter of 2020 is primarily attributable to changes in the fair value of assets in our deferred compensation plan and an expense adjustment relating to an export subsidy in India.

 

Income tax expense. Our income tax expense was $29.0 million in the first quarter of 2021, up from $24.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, representing an effective tax rate (“ETR”) of 24.1%, up from 22.5% in the first quarter of 2020. The increase in our tax expense in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 was primarily due to higher pre-tax income, expiration of certain tax benefits in 2021 and higher discrete benefits recorded in the first quarter of 2020.

Net income. As a result of the foregoing factors, net income as a percentage of total net revenues was 9.6% in the first quarter of 2021, up from 9.3% in the first quarter of 2020. Net income increased by $5.6 million from $85.7 million in the first quarter of 2020 to $91.3 million in the first quarter of 2021.

Adjusted income from operations. Adjusted income from operations (“AOI”) increased by $26.9 million from $135.7 million in the first quarter of 2020 to $162.7 million in the first quarter of 2021. Our AOI margin increased from 14.7% in the first quarter of 2020 to 17.2% in the first quarter of 2021 due to higher revenues and gross margins and lower travel costs as a result of the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as operating leverage in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020.

AOI is a non-GAAP measure and is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We believe that presenting AOI together with our reported results can provide useful supplemental information to our investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. A limitation of using AOI versus net income calculated in accordance with GAAP is that AOI excludes certain recurring costs and certain other charges, namely stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles. We compensate for this limitation by providing specific information on the GAAP amounts excluded from AOI.

We calculate AOI as net income, excluding (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, (iii) acquisition-related expenses excluded in the period in which an acquisition is consummated, (iv) foreign exchange (gain)/loss, (v) restructuring expenses, (vi) interest (income) expense, and (vii) income tax expense, as we believe that our results after taking into account these adjustments more accurately reflect our ongoing operations. For additional information, see Note 19—“Segment reporting” under Part I, Item 1—“Financial Statements” above.

The following table shows the reconciliation of AOI to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021:

AOI of our BCMI segment decreased to $32.4 million in the first quarter of 2021 from $35.6 million in the first quarter of 2020, primarily driven by the restructuring of a contract with a large client in our banking and capital markets vertical, which was partially offset by higher utilization of transformation services resources and lower discretionary spending in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. AOI of our CGRLH segment increased to $57.8 million in the first quarter of 2021 from $40.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to higher revenues, more efficient utilization of transformation services resources and lower discretionary spending, partially offset by higher investments in digital assets in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. AOI of our HMS segment increased to $67.6 million in the first quarter of 2021 from $55.1 million in the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to higher revenues and more efficient utilization of transformation resources in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. AOI for “Others” in the table above primarily represents the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations and over-absorption of overhead in the first quarter of 2021, as well as the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, adjustment of allowance for credit losses and over-absorption of overhead in the first quarter of 2020, none of which are allocated to any individual segment for management’s internal reporting purposes. See Note 19—“Segment reporting” to our consolidated financial statements under Part I, Item 1— “Financial Statements” above.

Financial Condition

We have historically financed our operations and our expansion, including acquisitions, with cash from operations and borrowing facilities.

On February 6, 2020, our board of directors approved a 15% increase in our quarterly cash dividend to $0.0975 per share, up from $0.085 per share in 2019, representing an annual dividend of $0.39 per common share, up from $0.34 per common share in 2019, payable to holders of our common shares. On March 18, 2020, we paid a dividend of $0.0975 per share, amounting to $18,543 in the aggregate, to shareholders of record as of March 9, 2020. 

On February 9, 2021, our board of directors approved a 10% increase in our quarterly cash dividend to $0.1075 per share, up from $0.0975 per share in 2020, representing a planned annual dividend of $0.43 per common share, up from $0.39 per share in 2020, payable to holders of our common shares. On March 19, 2021, we paid a dividend of $0.1075 per share, amounting to $20,115 in the aggregate, to shareholders of record as of March 10, 2021.

 

As of March 31, 2021, $639.5 million of our $644.0 million in cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign (non-Bermuda) subsidiaries. $37.7 million of this cash is held by foreign subsidiaries for which we expect to incur and

49

 


 

have accrued a deferred tax liability on the repatriation of $16.4 million of retained earnings. $601.8 million of the cash and cash equivalents is held by foreign subsidiaries in jurisdictions where no tax is expected to be imposed upon repatriation of retained earnings or is being indefinitely reinvested.

 

The total authorization under our existing share repurchase program is $1,750.0 million, including an additional $500.0 million approved during the first quarter of 2021, of which $502.8 million remained available as of March 31, 2021. Since our share repurchase program was initially authorized in 2015, we have repurchased 44,107,481 of our common shares at an average price of $28.30 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,247.2 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, we repurchased 1,042,188 and 3,297,966 of our common shares, respectively, on the open market at a weighted average price of $43.18 and $40.68 per share, respectively, for an aggregate cash amount of $45.0 million and $134.2 million, respectively. All repurchased shares have been retired. For additional information, see Note 17—“Capital stock” under Part I, Item 1—“Financial Statements” above.

We expect that in the future our cash from operations, cash reserves and debt capacity will be sufficient to finance our operations, our growth and expansion plans, dividend payments and additional share repurchases we may make under our share repurchase program. However, there is no assurance that the impacts we have experienced to date, and any future impact we may experience, from the COVID-19 pandemic will not have an adverse effect on our cash flows. In addition, we may raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings. Our working capital needs are primarily to finance our payroll and other administrative and information technology expenses in advance of the receipt of accounts receivable. Our primary capital requirements include opening new delivery centers, expanding existing operations to support our growth, financing acquisitions and enhancing capabilities, including building digital solutions.

Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows, are summarized in the following table:

Cash flows from operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $77.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to net cash used for operating activities of $18.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase in cash inflow is primarily due to (i) a $5.6 million increase in net income in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, (ii) a $12.7 million increase in non-cash expenses, primarily due to higher depreciation and amortization and lower unrealized gains on the revaluation of foreign currency assets/liabilities, partially offset by lower allowances for credit losses in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, and (iii) a $77.5 million increase in operating assets and liabilities driven by better days sales outstanding (DSO), lower tax payments in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 30, 2020, including a one-time tax payment made under protest to the Indian government in the three months ended March 31 2020, and higher bonus accruals, partially offset by increased investment in accounts receivable and the timing of certain employee-related payments in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

Cash flows used for investing activities. Our net cash used for investing activities was $18.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $23.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The reduction in cash used for investing activities is primarily due to lower payments towards purchases of property, plant and equipment and internally generated intangible assets in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. This was partially offset by payments of $5.3 million relating to business acquisitions in the three months ended March 31, 2021 for which there were no corresponding payments in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

Cash flows used for financing activities. Our net cash used for financing activities was $89.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. We raised $350.0 million from the issuance of 1.75% senior notes in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to no corresponding funds raised in the three months ended March 31, 2020. We repaid short-term borrowings (net of proceeds) of $250.0

50

 


 

million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to proceeds from short-term borrowings (net of repayment) of $95.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. Payments for share repurchases (including expenses related to repurchases) were $134.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $45.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. Dividend payments were $20.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $18.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

Financing Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, our outstanding term loan, net of debt amortization expense of $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, was $593.9 million and $585.5 million, respectively. We also have fund-based and non-fund based credit facilities with banks, which are available for operational requirements in the form of overdrafts, letters of credit, guarantees and short-term loans. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, the limits available under such facilities were $14.3 million and $14.3 million, respectively, of which $7.8 million and $7.2 million, respectively, was utilized, constituting non-funded drawdown. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, a total of $252.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of our revolving credit facility was utilized, of which $250 million and $0, respectively, constituted funded drawdown and $2.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, constituted non-funded drawdown.

 

Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l. (“Genpact Luxembourg”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.70% senior notes in March 2017 (the “2017 Senior Notes”) and $400 million aggregate principal amount of 3.375% senior notes in November 2019 (the “2019 Senior Notes”). The 2017 Senior Notes and 2019 Senior Notes are fully guaranteed by the Company and Genpact USA, Inc. The total debt issuance cost of $2.6 million and $2.9 million incurred in connection with the 2017 Senior Notes and 2019 Senior Notes offerings, respectively, are being amortized over the respective lives of the notes as additional interest expense. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, the amount outstanding under the 2017 Senior Notes, net of debt amortization expense of $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, was $349.3 million and $349.5 million, respectively, which is payable on April 1, 2022. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, the amount outstanding under the 2019 Senior Notes, net of debt amortization expense of $2.3 million and $2.1 million, was $397.7 million and $397.9 million, respectively, which is payable on December 1, 2024.

 

Genpact Luxembourg and Genpact USA, Inc, both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, co-issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75% senior notes in March 2021 (the “2021 Senior Notes”), resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $348.1 million, net of an underwriting commission of $1.4 million and a discount of $0.5 million. Other debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the offering of the 2021 Senior Notes amounted to $1.1 million. The 2021 Senior Notes are fully guaranteed by the Company. The total debt issuance cost of $3.0 million incurred in connection with the 2021 Senior Notes offerings is being amortized over the lives of the notes as additional interest expense. As of March 31, 2021, the amount outstanding under the 2021 Senior Notes, net of debt amortization expense of $3.0 million, was $347.0 million.

 

We pay interest on (i) the 2017 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, (ii) the 2019 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, and (iii) the 2021 Senior Notes semi-annually in arrears on April 10 and October 10 of each year, ending on the maturity dates of April 1, 2022, December 1, 2024 and April 10, 2026, respectively.

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

 

As discussed in Note 12, “Long-term debt,” under Part I, Item 1—“Financial Statements” above, Genpact Luxembourg, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued the 2017 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes, and Genpact Luxembourg and Genpact USA, Inc. (“Genpact USA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, co-issued the 2021 Senior Notes.  As of March 31, 2021, the outstanding balance for each of the 2017 Senior Notes, the 2019 Senior Notes and the 2021 Senior Notes was $349.5 million, $397.9 million and $347.0 million, respectively.

51

 


 

are also fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Genpact USA.  The other subsidiaries of the Company do not guarantee the Senior Notes (such subsidiaries are referred to as the “non-Guarantors”).

 

The Company (with respect to all series of Senior Notes) and Genpact USA (with respect to the 2017 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes) have fully and unconditionally guaranteed (i) that the payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at stated maturity of the Senior Notes, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and that the payment of interest on the overdue principal and interest on the Senior Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the applicable issuer or issuers of the Senior Notes, respectively, to the holders of the Senior Notes or the trustee under the Senior Notes shall be promptly paid in full or performed, and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Senior Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

The Senior Notes and the related guarantees rank pari passu in right of payment with all senior and unsecured debt of the Debt Issuers and Guarantors and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Debt Issuers’ and Guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the Debt Issuers’ and Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future debt and other liabilities of the non-Guarantors, including the liabilities of certain subsidiaries pursuant to our senior credit facility. The non-Guarantors are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due under the Senior Notes or to make the funds available to pay those amounts, whether by dividend, distribution, loan or other payment. Any right that the Debt Issuers and Guarantors have, to receive any assets of any of the non-Guarantors upon the insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding-up of any non-Guarantor, all of that non-Guarantor’s creditors (including trade creditors) would be entitled to payment in full out of that non-Guarantor’s assets before the holders of the Senior Notes would be entitled to any payment. Claims of holders of the Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to the liabilities of certain non-Guarantors pursuant to their liabilities under our senior credit facility.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk arising from changes in interest rates on the floating rate indebtedness under our term loan and revolving credit facility and the Senior Notes. Borrowings under our term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest at floating rates based on LIBOR, but in no event less than the floor rate of 0.0% plus an applicable margin. The interest rate on our Senior Notes is subject to adjustment based on the ratings assigned to our debt by Moody’s and Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, Inc. from time to time. A decline in such ratings could result in an increase of up to 2% in the rate of interest on the notes. Accordingly, fluctuations in market interest rates or a decline in ratings may increase or decrease our interest expense which would, in turn, increase or decrease our net income and cash flow.  

We manage a portion of our interest rate risk related to floating rate indebtedness by entering into interest rate swaps under which we receive floating rate payments based on the greater of LIBOR and the floor rate under our term loan and make payments based on a fixed rate. As of March 31, 2021, we were party to interest rate swaps covering a total notional amount of $481 million. Under these swap agreements, the rate that we pay to banks in exchange for LIBOR ranges between 0.38% and 2.65%.

 

In March 2021, we executed a treasury lock agreement covering $350 million in connection with future interest payments to be made on our 2021 Senior Notes issued in March 2021, and our entry into this agreement was designated as a cash flow hedge. The treasury lock agreement was terminated on March 23, 2021 and a deferred gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income which is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2021 Senior Notes. The remaining gain to be amortized related to the treasury lock agreement as of March 31, 2021 was $0.8 million.

For a discussion of our market risk associated with foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and credit risk, see Part II, Item 7A—“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company’s controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The following supplemental information relating to COVID-19 supplements the Risk Factor titled “Our business and results of operations have been adversely impacted and may in the future be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic” and should be read in conjunction with that risk factor and the other risk factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The developments described below with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic have heightened, or in some cases manifested, certain of the risks disclosed in the risk factor section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and such risk factors are further qualified by the information related to COVID-19 that is described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the additional information provided below. Except as described herein, there have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Supplemental Information:

A devastating second wave of COVID-19 has been spreading across India since March 2021, leaving millions of people infected and putting an enormous strain on the country’s health care system. We are experiencing higher than normal levels of employee absenteeism due to illness or employees caring for family members who are sick.  Although this humanitarian crisis has not yet had a material impact on our ability to deliver services to our clients, if there is any further deterioration of the situation in India or if the current situation continues for an extended period it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or share price.

Tax matters may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, effective tax rate and financial condition.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and in numerous foreign jurisdictions, notably in India where we have substantial operations. Our provision for income taxes, actual tax expense and tax liability could be adversely affected by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, lower income before taxes generated in countries with lower tax rates; higher income generated in countries with higher tax rates; changes in tax laws and regulations or interpretations thereof; changes in applicable income tax treaties; changes in accounting principles or interpretations thereof or in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities; the elimination or expiration of certain tax concessions, exemptions or holidays that had reduced our tax liability; and adverse outcomes of tax examinations or tax-related litigation, including a determination by any tax authority that our transfer prices are not appropriate.  Additionally, changes in tax laws proposed by the Biden administration, if enacted, could negatively impact our effective tax rate. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, effective tax rate and financial condition.

We are subject to examination of our income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and tax authorities around the world, notably in India where we have substantial operations.  Negative outcomes from those examinations or any appeals therefrom may adversely affect our provision for income taxes and tax liability, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, effective tax rate and financial condition. For example, the Government of India has appealed a 2011 ruling by the Delhi High Court that Genpact India Private Limited (one of our subsidiaries) cannot be held to be a representative assessee of GE in connection with an assertion that GE has tax liability in India by reason of a 2004 transfer of shares of our predecessor company. We believe that, if the Government of India is successful in its appeal, GE would be obligated to indemnify us for any resulting tax, though there can be no assurance as to the outcome of this matter.

In addition, the Government of India issued assessment orders to us in 2014, 2016 and 2019 seeking to assess tax on certain transactions that occurred in 2009, 2013 and 2015.  We have received demands for potential tax claims related to these orders in an aggregate amount of $151 million, including interest through the date of the orders. We do not believe that the transactions should be subject to tax in India under applicable law and have accordingly not provided a reserve for such exposure and have filed the necessary appeals. We have received favorable orders from appellate authorities relating to demands of $136 million and are pursuing refunds of $55 million we previously paid toward these demands. The tax authorities may appeal these orders in a higher court. In the event we do not prevail in these matters, the total amounts owed in connection with these demands would be subject to additional interest accrued over the period since the demands were made, and the amount of this additional interest could be material. There is no assurance that we will prevail in these matters or similar transactions, and a final determination of tax in the amounts claimed could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, effective tax rate and financial condition. See Note 28—“Commitments and contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements under Part IV, Item 15—“Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for additional information relating to these matters.

Additionally, the Indian tax authorities may claim that Indian tax is owed with respect to certain of our transactions, such as our acquisitions (including our subsidiaries organized under Indian law or owning assets located in India), internal reorganizations and the sale of our shares in public offerings or otherwise by our existing significant shareholders, in which indirect transfers of Indian subsidiaries or assets are involved. Those authorities may seek to impose tax on us directly or as a withholding agent or representative assessee of the seller in these or other transactions.

Effective July 1, 2017, a Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) was introduced in India, replacing an existing service tax regime and multiple similar indirect taxes. The implementation of the GST continues to evolve, with the Government of India introducing regular amendments and issuing clarifications. In the second quarter of 2020, Indian tax authorities began challenging certain of our GST and service tax refunds in certain Indian states. We had requested these refunds pursuant to the tax exemption available for exports under service tax and GST regimes in respect of services performed by us in India for affiliates and clients outside of India. The Indian tax authorities have also initiated proceedings to examine the availability of the tax exemption claimed in respect of export of services and related refunds under the service tax regime that preceded the current GST regime. In denying the refunds and initiating these proceedings, the taxing authorities have taken the position that the services we provided are local services, which interpretation, if correct, would make the service tax and GST exemptions we have claimed on exports unavailable to us in respect of such services. We believe that the denial of the service tax and GST exemptions is incorrect, and we are pursuing appeals before relevant appellate authorities.  The Government of India may issue further clarifications on the matter. However, there is no assurance that we will prevail in this matter.  Further, if it is finally determined that we do not qualify for the service tax and GST exemptions on the services we provide in India for clients located outside of India, we could be subject to additional tax on all of such services at a rate of 18%.  The imposition of this additional tax on a significant percentage of the services we perform or have performed in India would likely have a material adverse effect on our profitability and cash flows and could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Furthermore, there is growing pressure in many jurisdictions, including the United States, and from multinational organizations such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or the OECD, and the EU to amend existing international tax rules in order to render them more responsive to current global business practices. For example, the OECD has published a package of measures for reform of the international tax rules as a product of its Base Erosion and Profit Shifting, or the BEPS, initiative, which was endorsed by the G20 finance ministers. Many of the initiatives in the BEPS package require amendments to the domestic tax legislation of various jurisdictions. Separately, the EU is asserting that a number of country-specific favorable tax regimes and rulings in certain member states may violate, or have violated, EU law, and may require rebates of some or all of the associated tax benefits to be paid by benefitted taxpayers in particular cases. In 2016, the EU adopted the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive which requires EU member states to implement measures to prohibit tax avoidance practices.

In addition, in December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) became law in the U.S., bringing about far-ranging changes to the existing corporate tax system. The Tax Act requires complex computations not previously required and requires us to make assumptions and judgments in the interpretation of the law where sufficient guidance is not available. As regulations and guidance evolve with respect to the Tax Act, our results may differ from previous estimates and our tax liabilities may materially increase.  See “Future legislation or executive action in the United States and other jurisdictions could significantly affect the ability or willingness of our clients and prospective clients to utilize our services” in the “Risk Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Although we monitor these developments, it is very difficult to assess to what extent changes and other proposals, if enacted, may be implemented in the United States and other jurisdictions in which we conduct our business or may impact the way in which we conduct our business or our effective tax rate due to their unpredictability and

interdependency. As these and other tax laws and related regulations and practices change, those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, effective tax rate and financial condition.
