NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

 

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These accounting principles were applied on a basis consistent with those of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2017 (the “2016 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, except as noted elsewhere in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of March 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not affect total revenues, operating income or net income.  These statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, which were included in the 2016 Form 10-K. The December 31, 2016 Consolidated Balance Sheet data were derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for any subsequent quarters or the full year.  

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. This ASU provides guidance on the classification of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. This ASU requires that restricted cash be included within cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for the Company for its first quarter of fiscal 2018.  Early adoption is permitted and the guidance requires application using a retrospective method.  The Company has early adopted ASU 2016-18, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for the Company for its first quarter of fiscal 2017.  The Company has applied this guidance prospectively as of January 1, 2017 and, accordingly, data for the three months ended March 31, 2016 will not be adjusted.  Effective January 1, 2017, excess tax benefits will be prospectively reported as an operating activity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  As the Company has applied this guidance prospectively as of January 1, 2017, excess tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2016 will not be adjusted and continue to be reported in financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  As a result of the adoption, the Company recognized discrete tax benefits of $5.1 million in the provision for income taxes line of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 related to excess tax benefits upon vesting of a restricted-stock award or stock option exercise event relative to the deferred tax asset position established.  The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur and there was no material effect recorded upon adoption of this change.  The Company has also excluded the excess tax benefits from the assumed proceeds available to repurchase shares in the computation of our diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017, which had the effect of increasing the weighted average common stock equivalents.  Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the Company included excess tax benefits is assessing whether common equivalent shares were dilutive in the Company’s calculations of weighted average dilutive shares under the treasury stock method.  Presentation requirements for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares had no impact to all periods presented as such cash flows have historically been presented as financing activities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. As a result of ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying

(Unaudited)

 

amount and then recognize an impairment charge, as necessary, for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2017-04 for the Company’s goodwill impairment tests in 2017.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 addresses how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash flow, and other Topics.  ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company for its first quarter of fiscal 2018 and the guidance requires application using a retrospective method.  The impact of the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-15 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements will be to change the presentation of debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs as cash outflows for financing activities within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.  This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company for its first quarter of fiscal 2020 and earlier adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Application of the ASU is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU would require lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date; (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged under the amendments of this ASU. Additional disclosures will be required to allow the user to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing activities. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at the time of adoption.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company for its first quarter of fiscal 2019 and earlier adoption is permitted.  The impact of the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-02 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements will be to recognize the majority of the Company’s operating lease commitments as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption, which will result in a material increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify additional impacts this ASU will have on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures and internal controls over financial reporting.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue by removing inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements; providing a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues; improving comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets; and providing more useful information to users of financial statements through improved revenue disclosure requirements. On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, deferring the effective date by one year for ASU 2014-09.  ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company for its first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new standard is required to be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying it recognized at the date of initial application.

Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB has issued the following updates: ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net); ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients and ASU 2016-20, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606. The amendments in these updates affect the guidance contained within ASU 2014-09.  

The new revenue standard is expected to change the revenue recognition practices for the Company’s perpetual and term software license arrangements.  More specifically, the Company does not expect that the license component of the Company’s term

license arrangements will be recognized ratably over the contractual term.  The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify additional impacts this ASU will have on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures and internal controls over financial reporting.  The Company intends to adopt the new revenue standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.

On March 2, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to our senior secured credit agreement dated July 8, 2015. Pursuant to the Amendment, the highest (non-default) interest rate margin applicable to Term Loan A was reduced from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 1.75%, and the highest (non-default) interest rate margin applicable to Term Loan B was reduced from LIBOR plus 3.25% to LIBOR plus 2.25%. The LIBOR “floor” was also amended for the Term Loan A and the Term Loan B to be 0%. Subject to certain exceptions, in the event the Company and/or its subsidiaries enters into a transaction within six months from the Amendment Effective Date, the effect of which is to lower the “effective yield” of all or a portion of either the Term Loan A or the Term Loan B, the Company will pay to the applicable lenders a 1% prepayment premium on the loans subject to such transaction.  No changes were made to the financial covenants, outstanding principal amounts or the scheduled amortization.

 

 The Amendment was evaluated in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 470-50, Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments, for debt modification and extinguishment accounting. The Company accounted for the debt re-pricing as a debt modification with respect to amounts that remained obligations of the same lender in the syndicate with minor changes in cash flows and as a debt extinguishment with respect to amounts that were obligations of lenders that exited the syndicate or remained in the syndicate but experienced a change in cash flows of greater than 10%. See Loss on extinguishment of debt section below.

 

Loss on extinguishment of debt. The Company recorded a $2.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended March 31, 2017 in connection with the Amendment. The loss on early extinguishment of debt includes the write-off of a portion of the unamortized capitalized financing fees related to the senior secured credit facility for amounts accounted for as a debt extinguishment, as well as new financing fees related to the senior secured credit facility for amounts accounted for as a debt modification.

Note 4—Earnings per Share

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated in accordance with the relevant standards. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to the Company’s common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) using the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of including such common equivalent shares is anti-dilutive because their total assumed proceeds exceed the average fair value of common stock for the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Weighted average stock options, SARs, RSUs and RSAs representing 14,455,614 and 13,807,238 shares were outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect of including them would be anti-dilutive.  

Dividends. In 2017, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0625 per share of common stock on March 15, 2017, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 2017 totaling $12.7 million.   In 2016, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0625 per share of common stock on March 15, 2016  to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 7, 2016 totaling $12.4 million.

tax liabilities as a result of the acquisition of Citigroup AIS in the first quarter of 2016, partially offset by the unfavorable impact from an increase in pre-tax income from domestic operations taxed at a high statutory rate.

 

 

Note 7—Acquisitions

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated results of operations are provided for illustrative purposes only and assume that the acquisitions of Conifer Financial Services LLC (“Conifer”), Wells Fargo's Global Fund Services business (“GFS”) and Citigroup’s Alternative Investor Services business occurred on January 1, 2015.

Note 9—Supplemental Guarantor Financial Statements

On July 8, 2015, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed, in each case subject to certain customary release provisions, by substantially all wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee the Company’s Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement (collectively “Guarantors”). All of the Guarantors are 100% owned by the Company. All other subsidiaries of the Company, either direct or indirect, do not guarantee the Senior Notes (“Non-Guarantors”). The Guarantors also unconditionally guarantee the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Company or any of the subsidiaries that are Guarantors to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.  During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company added certain U.S. subsidiaries as Guarantors to the Senior Notes.  The condensed consolidating balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 below reflects the addition of these entities as Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Item 2.

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

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A, is intended to provide readers of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements with the perspectives of management. It presents, in narrative form, information regarding our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results. It should be read in conjunction with our 2016 Form 10-K and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by our management, and such judgments are reflected in the amounts reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In applying these policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, management’s observation of trends in the industry, information provided by our clients and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Actual results may differ significantly from the estimates contained in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates and assumptions or the judgments affecting the application of those estimates and assumptions since the filing of our 2016 Form 10-K. Our critical accounting policies are described in the 2016 Form 10-K and include:

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Long-Lived Assets, Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

Acquisition Accounting

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

Income Taxes

Results of Operations

We derive our revenue from two sources: recurring revenues and, to a lesser degree, non-recurring revenues. Recurring revenues consist of software-enabled services and maintenance and term licenses. As a general matter, fluctuations in our software-enabled services revenues are attributable to the number of new software-enabled services clients as well as total assets under management in our clients’ portfolios and the number of outsourced transactions provided to our existing clients. Maintenance revenues vary based on customer retention, the number of perpetual licenses and on the annual increases in fees, which are generally tied to the consumer price index, while term license revenues vary based on the rate by which we add or lose clients over time. Non-recurring revenues consist of professional services and perpetual license fees and tend to fluctuate based on the number of new licensing clients and demand for consulting services.

Revenues

The following table sets forth the percentage of our total revenues represented by each of the following sources of revenues for the periods indicated:

Our revenues increased primarily due to revenues related to our acquisitions of Wells Fargo’s Global Fund Services business (“GFS”) and Conifer Financial Services (“Conifer”) in the fourth quarter of 2016 and Citigroup Alternative Investor Services business (“Citigroup AIS”) in the first quarter of 2016, which, combined, contributed $58.1 million in revenues, net of a reduction of $1.2 million in revenues related to the loss of sales to these businesses.  Additionally, organic revenues increased $26.4 million, of which approximately $17.2 million was the result of the impact of the fair value adjustment for acquired deferred revenue on the periods.  The remaining increase was primarily due to a continued increase in demand for our fund administration services from alternative investment managers. These increases were partially offset by the unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of $0.9 million, which resulted primarily from the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the British pound. Recurring revenues increased primarily due to the acquisitions, which added revenues of $57.7 million, as well as an increase in organic revenues of $29.3 million, of which $14.8 million was the result of the impact of the fair value adjustment of acquired deferred revenue on the periods. Non-recurring revenues decreased primarily due to a decrease in perpetual license sales offset by the acquisitions, which contributed revenues of $0.4 million, as well as an increase of $2.4 million resulting from the impact of the fair value adjustment of acquired deferred revenue.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of recurring revenues consists primarily of costs related to personnel utilized in servicing our software-enabled services and maintenance contracts and amortization of intangible assets. Cost of non-recurring revenues consists primarily of the cost related to personnel utilized to provide implementation, conversion and training services to our software licensees, as well as system integration and custom programming consulting services and amortization of intangible assets.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Our total cost of revenues increased primarily due to our acquisitions of GFS, Conifer and Citigroup AIS, which, combined, added costs of $43.0 million. This increase was partially offset by the favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $1.9 million, which resulted primarily from the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the British pound.

Operating Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of the personnel costs associated with the selling and marketing of our products, including salaries, commissions and travel and entertainment. Such expenses also include amortization of intangible assets, the cost of branch sales offices, trade shows and marketing and promotional materials. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs attributable to the enhancement of existing products and the development of new software products. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs related to management, accounting and finance, information management, human resources and administration and associated overhead costs, as well as fees for professional services.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. The increase in total operating expenses in 2017 was primarily due to our acquisitions of GFS, Conifer and Citigroup AIS, which, combined, added expenses of $8.2 million. These increases were offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation of $4.5 million primarily attributed to accelerated stock-based compensation related to the elimination of redundant positions at an acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2016.  These increases were also

19


 

partially offset by the favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $1.1 million, which resulted from the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the British pound.

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 for Interest, Taxes and Other

Interest expense, net. We had net interest expense of $29.0 million in 2017 compared to $33.1 million in 2016.  The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to a lower average debt balance and a lower average interest rate as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. These facilities are discussed further in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

Other expense, net. Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 consisted primarily of foreign currency transaction losses.

Loss on extinguishment of debt. We recorded a $2.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended March 31, 2017 in connection with the amendment of our senior secured credit facility. The loss on early extinguishment of debt includes the write-off of a portion of the unamortized capitalized financing fees related to the senior secured credit facility for amounts accounted for as a debt extinguishment, as well as the new financing fees related to the senior secured credit facility for amounts accounted for as a debt modification.  

Provision for income taxes. The following table sets forth the provision for income taxes (dollars in thousands) and effective tax rates for the periods indicated:

Our March 31, 2017 and 2016 effective tax rates differ from the statutory rate primarily due to the effect of our foreign operations. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to the recognition of windfall tax benefits from stock awards in the current quarter and the absence of the unfavorable impact of a change in state apportionment on our domestic deferred tax liabilities as a result of the acquisition of Citigroup AIS in the first quarter of 2016, partially offset by the unfavorable impact from an increase in pre-tax income from domestic operations taxed at a high statutory rate. Our effective tax rate includes the effect of operations outside the United States, which historically have been taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate. While we have income from multiple foreign sources, the majority of our non-U.S. operations are in Canada, India and the United Kingdom, where we anticipate the statutory rates to be 26.5%, 34.6% and 19.3%, respectively, in 2017. The consolidated expected effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2017 is forecasted to be between 20% and 22%. A future proportionate change in the composition of income before income taxes from foreign and domestic tax jurisdictions could impact our periodic effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal cash requirements are to finance the costs of our operations pending the billing and collection of client receivables, to fund payments with respect to our indebtedness, to invest in research and development, to acquire complementary businesses or assets and to pay dividends on our common stock. We expect our cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and cash available under the Credit Agreement to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, projected working capital requirements and capital spending for at least the next twelve months.

In 2017, we paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.0625 per share of common stock on March 15, 2017 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 2017 totaling $12.7 million.

Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at March 31, 2017 were $110.9 million, a decrease of $8.8 million from $119.7 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash is primarily due to net repayments of debt, payments of annual employee cash incentive, payment of dividends, capital expenditures and payment of withholding taxes related to equity award net share settlement. These decreases were partially offset by cash provided by operations and proceeds from stock option exercises.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $56.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.  Cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from net income of $48.1 million adjusted for non-cash items of $66.9 million, partially offset by changes in our working capital accounts (excluding the effect of acquisitions) totaling $58.6 million. The changes in our working capital accounts include a decrease in accrued expenses and increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets.  

20


 

These changes were partially offset by increases in deferred revenues and accounts payable and a change in income taxes prepaid and payable.  The decrease in accrued expenses was primarily due to the payment of annual employee bonuses in the first quarter of 2017.  The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to an increase in days’ sales outstanding related to receivables within recently acquired businesses.  The increase in deferred revenues was primarily due to the collection of annual maintenance fees. The increase in accounts payable was primarily due to the timing of payments.

Investing activities used net cash of $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily related to $6.0 million in capital expenditures and $3.3 million in capitalized software costs partially offset by cash received of $1.8 million related to purchase price adjustments for prior acquisitions.

Financing activities used net cash of $59.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, representing net repayments of debt totaling $60.2 million, $12.7 million in quarterly dividends paid and $0.6 million in withholding taxes paid related to equity award net share settlements, partially offset by proceeds of $14.0 million from stock option exercises.

We have made a permanent reinvestment determination in certain non-U.S. operations that have historically generated positive operating cash flows. At March 31, 2017, we held approximately $75.4 million in cash and cash equivalents at non-U.S. subsidiaries where we had made such a determination and in turn no provision for U.S. income taxes had been made. At March 31, 2017, we held approximately $51.1 million in cash that was available to our foreign borrowers under our senior secured credit facility and will be used to facilitate debt servicing of those entities. At March 31, 2017, we held approximately $18.6 million in cash at our Indian operations that if repatriated to our foreign debt holder would incur distribution taxes of approximately $3.2 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On March 2, 2017 (“Amendment Effective Date”), we entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to our senior secured credit agreement (“Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement”) dated July 8, 2015. Pursuant to the Amendment, the highest (non-default) interest rate margin applicable to Term Loan A was reduced from LIBOR plus 2.75% to LIBOR plus 1.75%, and the highest (non-default) interest rate margin applicable to Term Loan B was reduced from LIBOR plus 3.25% to LIBOR plus 2.25%. The LIBOR “floor” was also amended for the Term Loan A and the Term Loan B to be 0%. Subject to certain exceptions, in the event the Company and/or its subsidiaries enters into a transaction within six months from the Amendment Effective Date, the effect of which is to lower the “effective yield” of all or a portion of either the Term Loan A or the Term Loan B, the Company will pay to the applicable lenders a 1% prepayment premium on the loans subject to such transaction. No changes were made to the financial covenants, outstanding principal amounts or the scheduled amortization.

The Amendment was evaluated in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 470-50, Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments, for modification and extinguishment accounting. The Company accounted the debt re-pricing as a debt modification with respect to amounts that remained obligations of the same lender in the syndicate with minor changes in cash flows and as a debt extinguishment with respect to amounts that were obligations of lenders that exited the syndicate or remained in the syndicate but experienced a change in cash flows of greater than 10%. See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of debt.

The Company recorded a $2.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended March 31, 2017 in connection with the Amendment. The loss on early extinguishment of debt includes the write-off of a portion of the unamortized capitalized financing fees related to the senior secured credit facility for amounts accounted for as a debt extinguishment, as well as new financing fees related to the Amendment for amounts accounted for as a debt modification.

As of March 31, 2017, there was $90.7 million in principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan A-1, $140.6 million in principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan A-2, $1,476.0 million in principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan B-1 and $126.2 million in principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan B-2.  In addition, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement has a revolving credit facility with a five year term available for borrowings by SS&C with $150 million in available commitments, or the Revolving Credit Facility, of which $66.0 million and $94.0 million was outstanding as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  The Revolving Credit Facility also contains a $25 million letter of credit sub-facility, of which $0.5 million and $0.6 million was outstanding as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

21


 

We are required to make scheduled quarterly payments of 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan B-1 and Term Loan B-2, with the balance due and payable on the seventh anniversary of its incurrence. We are required to make scheduled quarterly payments of 1.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A-1 and Term Loan A-2 until September 30, 2017 and quarterly payments of 2.50% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A-1 and Term Loan A-2 from December 31, 2017 until June 30, 2020 with the balance due and payable on the fifth anniversary of the incurrence thereof. No amortization is required under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Our obligations under the Term Loans are guaranteed by (i) Holdings and each of our existing and future U.S. wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries, in the case of the Term Loan B-1 and the Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) Holdings, SS&C and each of our existing and future wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries, in the case of the Term Loan A-1, the Term Loan A-2 and the Term Loan B-2.

The obligations of the U.S. loan parties under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of such persons (subject to customary exceptions and limitations), including a pledge of all of the capital stock of substantially all of the U.S. wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries of such persons (with customary exceptions and limitations) and 65% of the capital stock of certain foreign restricted subsidiaries of such persons (with customary exceptions and limitations). All obligations of the non-U.S. loan parties under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of Holdings’ and the other guarantors’ assets (subject to customary exceptions and limitations), including a pledge of all of the capital stock of substantially all of Holdings’ wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries (with customary exceptions and limitations).

The Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement includes negative covenants that, among other things and subject to certain thresholds and exceptions, limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to incur debt or liens, make investments (including in the form of loans and acquisitions), merge, liquidate or dissolve, sell property and assets, including capital stock of our subsidiaries, pay dividends on our capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire our capital stock, alter the business we conduct, amend, prepay, redeem or purchase subordinated debt, or engage in transactions with our affiliates. In addition, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant requiring us to maintain a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio. In addition, under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement, certain defaults under agreements governing other material indebtedness could result in an event of default under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement, in which case the lenders could elect to accelerate payments under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement and terminate any commitments they have to provide future borrowings. As of March 31, 2017, we were in compliance with the financial and non-financial covenants.

Senior Notes

On July 8, 2015, in connection with the acquisition of Advent, we issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2023. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by SS&C and each of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that borrows or guarantees obligations under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. The Senior Notes are unsecured senior obligations that are equal in right of payments to all existing and future senior debt, including the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement.

On April 20, 2016, we commenced an offer to exchange for the Senior Notes, new notes identical in all material respects to the Senior Notes, except that the new notes were registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The exchange offer expired on May 18, 2016 and 100% of the Senior Notes were exchanged for the new notes.

At any time after July 15, 2018, we may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the Senior Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. At any time on or before July 15, 2018, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 105.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net proceeds of one or more equity offerings.

The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains a number of covenants that restrict, subject to certain thresholds and exceptions, our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to incur debt or liens, make certain investments, pay dividends, dispose of certain assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or engage in transactions with our affiliates.

As of March 31, 2017, there were $600.0 million in principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding.

Covenant Compliance

Under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement, we are required to satisfy and maintain a specified financial ratio. Our continued ability to meet this financial ratio can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will

22


 

continue to meet this ratio. Any breach of these covenants could result in an event of default under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any event of default under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit.

Consolidated EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used in key financial covenants contained in the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement, which is a material facility supporting our capital structure and providing liquidity to our business. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Consolidated EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate compliance with the specified financial ratio and other financial condition tests contained in the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement.

Management uses Consolidated EBITDA to gauge the costs of our capital structure on a day-to-day basis when full financial statements are unavailable. Management further believes that providing this information allows our investors greater transparency and a better understanding of our ability to meet our debt service obligations and make capital expenditures.

Any breach of covenants in the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement that are tied to ratios based on Consolidated EBITDA could result in an event of default under that agreement, in which case the lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed immediately due and payable and to terminate any commitments they have to provide further borrowings. Any default and subsequent acceleration of payments under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Additionally, under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is also tied to ratios based on Consolidated EBITDA.

Consolidated EBITDA does not represent net income or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. Further, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement requires that Consolidated EBITDA be calculated for the most recent four fiscal quarters. As a result, the measure can be disproportionately affected by a particularly strong or weak quarter. Further, it may not be comparable to the measure for any subsequent four-quarter period or any complete fiscal year.

Consolidated EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and investors should not consider Consolidated EBITDA as a substitute for measures of our financial performance and liquidity as determined in accordance with GAAP, such as net income, operating income or net cash provided by operating activities. Because other companies may calculate Consolidated EBITDA differently than we do, Consolidated EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Consolidated EBITDA has other limitations as an analytical tool, when compared to the use of net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, including:

 

Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the provision of income tax expense in our various jurisdictions;

 

Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense we incur as a result of our debt leverage;

 

Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect any attribution of costs to our operations related to our investments and capital expenditures through depreciation and amortization charges;

 

Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the cost of compensation we provide to our employees in the form of stock option awards; and

 

Consolidated EBITDA excludes expenses and income that are permitted to be excluded per the terms of our Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement, but which others may believe are normal expenses for the operation of a business.

The following is a reconciliation of net income to Consolidated EBITDA as defined in our Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement.

Acquired EBITDA reflects the EBITDA impact of significant businesses that were acquired during the period as if the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the period, as well as cost savings enacted in connection with acquisitions.

(2)

Purchase accounting adjustments include (a) an adjustment to increase revenues by the amount that would have been recognized if deferred revenue were not adjusted to fair value at the date of acquisitions, (b) an adjustment to increase personnel and commissions expense by the amount that would have been recognized if prepaid commissions and deferred personnel costs were not adjusted to fair value at the date of the acquisitions and (c) an adjustment to increase rent expense by the amount that would have been recognized if lease obligations were not adjusted to fair value at the date of acquisitions.

(3)

Other includes expenses and income that are permitted to be excluded per the terms of our Amended Senior Secured Credit Agreement from Consolidated EBITDA, a financial measure used in calculating our covenant compliance.  These include expenses and income related to currency transactions, facilities and workforce restructuring, legal settlements and business combinations, among other infrequently occurring transactions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. This ASU provides guidance on the classification of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. This ASU requires that restricted cash be included within cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for the Company for its first quarter of fiscal 2018.  Early adoption is permitted and the guidance requires application using a retrospective method.  The Company has early adopted ASU 2016-18, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for the Company for its first quarter of fiscal 2017.  The Company has applied this guidance prospectively as of January 1, 2017 and, accordingly, data for the three months ended March 31, 2016 will not be

adjusted.  Effective January 1, 2017, excess tax benefits will be prospectively reported as an operating activity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  As the Company has applied this guidance prospectively as of January 1, 2017, excess tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2016 will not be adjusted and continue to be reported in financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  As a result of the adoption, the Company recognized discrete tax benefits of $5.1 million in the provision for income taxes line of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 related to excess tax benefits upon vesting of a restricted-stock award or stock option exercise event relative to the deferred tax asset position established.  The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur and there was no material effect recorded upon adoption of this change.  The Company has also excluded the excess tax benefits from the assumed proceeds available to repurchase shares in the computation of our diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017, which had the effect of increasing the weighted average common stock equivalents.  Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the Company included excess tax benefits is assessing whether common equivalent shares were dilutive in the Company’s calculations of weighted average dilutive shares under the treasury stock method.  Presentation requirements for cash flows related to employee taxes paid for withheld shares had no impact to all periods presented as such cash flows have historically been presented as financing activities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. As a result of ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and then recognize an impairment charge, as necessary, for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2017-04 for the Company’s goodwill impairment tests in 2017.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 addresses how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash flow, and other Topics.  ASU 2016-15 is effective for the Company for its first quarter of fiscal 2018 and the guidance requires application using a retrospective method.  The impact of the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-15 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements will be to change the presentation of debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs as cash outflows for financing activities within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.  This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company for its first quarter of fiscal 2020 and earlier adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Application of the ASU is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU would require lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date; (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged under the amendments of this ASU. Additional disclosures will be required to allow the user to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing activities. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at the time of adoption.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company for its first quarter of fiscal 2019 and earlier adoption is permitted.  The impact of the Company’s adoption of ASU 2016-02 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements will be to recognize the majority of the Company’s operating lease commitments as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption, which will result in a material increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify additional impacts this ASU will have on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures and internal controls over financial reporting.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue by removing inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements; providing a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues; improving comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets; and providing more useful information to users of financial statements through improved revenue disclosure requirements. On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, deferring the effective date by one year for ASU 2014-09.  ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company for its first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new standard is required to be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying it recognized at the date of initial application.

Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB has issued the following updates: ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net); ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The amendments in these updates affect the guidance contained within ASU 2014-09.  

The new revenue standard is expected to change the revenue recognition practices for the Company’s perpetual and term software license arrangements.  More specifically, the Company does not expect that the license component of the Company’s term license arrangements will be recognized ratably over the contractual term.  The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify additional impacts this ASU will have on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures and internal controls over financial reporting.  The Company intends to adopt the new revenue standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.

 

 

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We have invested our available cash in short-term, highly liquid financial instruments, having initial maturities of three months or less. When necessary, we have borrowed to fund acquisitions.

At March 31, 2017, we had total debt of $2,499.4 million, including $1,899.4 million of variable interest rate debt. As of March 31, 2017, a 1% increase in interest rates would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $19.0 million per year.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, approximately 27% of our revenues were from clients located outside the United States. A portion of the revenues from clients located outside the United States is denominated in foreign currencies, the majority being the British pound. While revenues and expenses of our foreign operations are primarily denominated in their respective local currencies, some subsidiaries do enter into certain transactions in currencies that are different from their local currency. These transactions consist primarily of cross-currency intercompany balances and trade receivables and payables. As a result of these transactions, we have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates that result in foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which we report in other income (expense). These outstanding amounts were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The amount of these balances can fluctuate in the future as we bill customers and buy products or services in currencies other than our functional currency, which could increase our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. We continue to monitor our exposure to foreign exchange rates as a result of our acquisitions and changes in our operations. We do not enter into any market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.

The foregoing risk management discussion and the effect thereof are forward-looking statements. Actual results in the future may differ materially from these projected results due to actual developments in global financial markets. The analytical methods used by us to assess and minimize risk discussed above should not be considered projections of future events or losses.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

26


 

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
