(2) Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements (and notes thereto) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on May 25, 2018. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been included, and all material adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected to occur for the entire fiscal year.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

10


 

applies the equity method of accounting. For those majority-owned subsidiaries that are not 100% owned by the Company, the interests of the minority owners are accounted for as noncontrolling interests.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including the recoverability of tangible assets, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Management re-evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. The most significant estimates relate to the recognition of revenue and profits based on the percentage of completion method of accounting for fixed-price contracts, share-based compensation, income taxes, including reserves for uncertain tax positions, deferred taxes and liabilities, intangible assets, contingent consideration and valuation of financial instruments including derivative contracts and investments. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The actual amounts may vary from the estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

At December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued employee compensation and benefits, other accrued expenses and long-term debt, approximate their fair values due to the nature of the items. See Note 5 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Unless otherwise discussed below, the adoption of new accounting standards did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU” ) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606”) as well as other clarifications and technical guidance related to this new revenue standard, including ASC Topic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs — Contracts with Customers (“ASC 340-40”). ASC Topic 606 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB issued updates to the new revenue standard to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations for reporting revenue gross versus net, identifying performance obligations, accounting for licenses of intellectual property, transition, contract modifications, collectability, non-cash consideration and presentation of sales and other similar taxes with the same effective date. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective method. The Company adopted the standard effective April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of that date. Upon adoption of ASC Topic 606 on April 1, 2018, the Company recorded a net increase to opening retained earnings of approximately $464, after a tax impact of $142. The impact of adoption primarily relates to the longer period of amortization for costs to fulfill a contract compared to the amortization period prior to adoption.

In January 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-01) to the standard on financial instruments. The update significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The update also amends certain disclosure requirements. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption, entities will be required to make a cumulative-effect adjustment to the statement of financial position as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. However, the specific guidance on equity securities without readily determinable fair value will apply prospectively to all equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. The Company adopted this guidance on April 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, therefore, the Company did not record any cumulative adjustments to the opening retained earnings in the consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash (Topic 230), which is intended to reduce diversity in practice on how changes in restricted cash are classified and presented in the statement of cash flows. This ASU requires amounts generally described as restricted cash to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company adopted the standard effective April 1, 2018 using the retrospective method. As a result of the adoption, the Company restated its consolidated statement of cash flows for all of the prior periods presented. The following table summarizes the impact of this standard on the Company’s consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2017:

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”, a guidance on presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The new standard requires that an employer disaggregate the service costs components of net benefit cost. The employer is required to report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component, such as in other income and expense. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this guidance effective April 1, 2018. Upon adoption, the

12


 

Company presented the service cost component in costs of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses. The other components of net periodic pension cost are presented within other (income) expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, therefore, the Company did not retrospectively change the presentation of the financial statements.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new standard is intended to simplify aspects of share-based compensation issued to non-employees by making the guidance consistent with accounting for employee share-based compensation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company early adopted this guidance effective April 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Unless otherwise discussed below, the Company believes the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-02) to the standard on leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2018-10,  ASU 2018-11 in July 2018 and ASU 2018-20 in December 2018, which provide clarifications and improvements to this new standard. ASU 2018-11 also provides the optional transition method which allows companies to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date instead of at the earliest comparative period presented. The new standard replaces the existing guidance on leases and requires the lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with lease terms equal to or greater than twelve months. For finance leases, the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset, and for operating leases, the lessee would recognize total lease expense on a straight-line basis. For public business entities this standard is effective for the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption of this new standard is permitted. Entities will be required to use a modified retrospective transition which provides for certain practical expedients. The Company has developed a transition plan, which includes evaluating its population of leased assets to assess the impact of the ASU on its lease portfolio, and designing and implementing new processes and controls. The Company is currently planning to elect the package of practical expedients which permits the Company to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs. While the Company continues to assess the potential impact of this ASU, it does anticipate this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets primarily due to recognizing a right-to-use-asset and a lease liability for operating leases.

 

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

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The amendments in this Update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The amendments in this Update also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted, including interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

(3) Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share available to Virtusa common stockholders (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss), less any dividends and accretion of issuance cost on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. In computing diluted EPS, the Company adjusts the numerator used in the basic EPS computation, subject to anti-dilution requirements, to add back the dividends (declared or cumulative undeclared) applicable to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Such add-back would also include any adjustments to equity in the period to accrete the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to its redemption price. The Company adjusts the denominator used in the basic EPS computation, subject to anti-dilution requirements, to include the dilution from potential shares resulting from the issuance of restricted stock units, unvested restricted stock and stock options along with the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to common stock. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the periods set forth below:

(4) Investment Securities

 

At December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, all of the Company’s investment securities were classified as available-for-sale securities and equity securities. These were carried on its balance sheet at their fair market value. A fair market value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs was used to measure each security (See Note 5 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments).

The Company evaluates investments with unrealized losses to determine if the losses are other than temporary. In making this determination, the Company considered the financial condition, credit ratings and near-term prospects of the issuers, the underlying collateral of the investments, and the magnitude of the losses as compared to the cost and the length of time the investments have been in an unrealized loss position. Additionally, while the Company classifies the securities as available for sale, the Company does not currently intend to sell such investments and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell such investments prior to the recovery of their carrying value.

 

During the three months ending December 31, 2018, the issuer of the Company’s investment in preference shares began showing signs of financial distress. This included down-grades to its credit rating and a decrease in trading activity and market pricing for this security. Due to the uncertainty in recovering the amortized cost of this security, the Company has determined the unrealized losses are other-than-temporary and recorded the impairment in earnings. The Company has determined that other unrealized losses at December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018 are temporary.

(5) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company uses a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflected in the consolidated financial statements at carrying value include marketable securities and other financial instruments which approximate fair value. Fair value for marketable securities is determined using a market approach based on quoted market prices at period end in active markets. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following.

 

·

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·

Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

·

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

(6) Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company evaluates its foreign exchange policy on an ongoing basis to assess its ability to address foreign exchange exposures on its consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and consolidated statement of cash flows from all foreign currencies, including most significantly the U.K. pound sterling and Indian rupee. The Company enters into hedging programs with highly rated financial institutions in accordance with its foreign exchange policy (as approved by the Company’s audit committee and board of directors) which permits hedging of material, known foreign currency exposures. There is no margin required, no cash collateral posted or received by us related to our foreign exchange forward contracts.

 

The U.S. dollar notional value of all outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts was $158,881 and $140,347 at December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively. Unrealized net gains related to these contracts which are expected to be reclassified from AOCI to earnings during the next 12 months are $1,548 at December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2018, the maximum outstanding term of any derivative instrument was 18 months.

 

The Company also uses interest rate swaps to mitigate the Company’s interest rate risk on the Company’s variable rate debt. The Company’s objective is to limit the variability of cash flows associated with changes in LIBOR interest rate payments due on the Credit Agreement (See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements), by using pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps to offset the future variable rate interest payments.

 

The Company purchased interest rate swaps in July 2016 with an effective date of July 2017 and in November 2018.  The July 2016 interest rate swaps are at a blended weighted average of 1.025% and the Company will receive 1-month LIBOR on the same notional amounts. The November 2018 interest rate swaps were entered into to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with the Credit Agreement executed in February 2018 and subsequent additional borrowings. The November 2018 interest rate swaps are at a fixed rate of 2.85% and are designed to maintain a 50% coverage of our LIBOR debt, therefore the notional amount changes over the life of the swap to retain the 50% coverage target. At December 31, 2018, the total notional amounts of the interest rate swaps were $163,812 with remaining maturity of approximately 4 years.

(7) Acquisitions

 

On March 12, 2018, (i) the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement by and among the Company, eTouch Systems Corp. (“eTouch US”) and each of the equity holders of eTouch US to acquire all of the outstanding shares of eTouch US, and (ii) certain of the Company’s Indian subsidiaries entered into a share purchase agreement by and among those Company subsidiaries, eTouch Systems (India) Pvt. Ltd (“eTouch India,” together with eTouch US, “eTouch”) and the equity holders of eTouch India to acquire all of the outstanding shares of eTouch India (together with the acquisition of eTouch US, the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition strengthens our digital engineering capabilities, and establishes a solid base in Silicon Valley.

19


 

 

Under the terms of the equity purchase agreement and the share purchase agreement, on March 12, 2018, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of eTouch US and eTouch India for approximately $140,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments, with up to an additional $15,000 set aside for retention bonuses to be paid to eTouch management and key employees, in equal installments on the first and second anniversary of the transaction. The purchase price is being paid in three tranches with $80,000 paid at closing, $42,500 on the 12-month anniversary of the close of the transaction, and $17,500 on the 18-month anniversary of the close of the transaction, subject in each case to certain adjustments. The Company utilized the net cash proceeds of a $70,000 delayed draw term loan funded pursuant to the Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements) and $10,000 of cash on hand to make the payments due at the closing of the Acquisition. The Company paid an amount equal to $66,000 to the equity holders of eTouch US, and an amount equal to $14,000 to the equity holders of eTouch India, which together comprise the first of three tranches of the purchase price to be paid in connection with the closing of the Acquisition.

 

The purchase price is subject to adjustment after the closing in the event the working capital associated with eTouch deviates from a threshold amount and other contractual adjustments.

 

Under the purchase method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values. The Company may continue to adjust the preliminary estimated fair values after obtaining more information regarding asset valuations, liabilities assumed, and revision of preliminary estimates. During the nine months ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded $7,100 as a reduction of goodwill related to updating the fair value assessment of customer relationships and trademark, $1,104 as an increase in goodwill related to a tax liability payable to the equity holders of eTouch US and $126 as an increase in goodwill related to other adjustments. The following are the preliminary fair values of assets and liabilities based on information available as of December 31, 2018 and may be subject to change during the measurement period.

(8) Revenues

 

Effective April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) as amended. The Company adopted the new guidance using the modified retrospective method by recognizing the cumulative effect of adoption as an adjustment to retained earnings as of April 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after April 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with Revenue Recognition (“Topic 605”). The impact of adoption of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of April 1, 2018 is presented in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

 

21


 

The Company generally recognizes revenue for services over time as the Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls from fixed price contracts related to complex design, development and customization. For these contracts, the Company measures the progress and recognizes revenue using effort-based input methods, as the Company performs, based on actual efforts spent compared to the total expected efforts for the contract. The use of the effort based input method requires significant judgment relative to estimating total efforts, including assumptions relative to the length of time to complete the project and the nature and complexity of the work to be performed. Estimates of total efforts are continuously monitored during the term of the contract and are subject to revision as the contract progresses. When revisions in estimated contract revenue and efforts are determined, such adjustments are recorded in the period in which they are first identified. An input method is used to recognize revenue as the value of services provided to the customer is best represented by the hours expended to deliver those services.

 

The Company generally recognizes revenue for services over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the Company performs for fixed-price contracts related to consulting or other IT services. For these contracts, the Company measures the progress and recognizes revenue using effort-based input methods as the Company performs based on actual efforts spent compared to the total expected efforts for the contract. The cumulative impact of any change in estimates of the contract revenue is reflected in the period in which the changes become known.

 

The Company has applied the as-invoiced practical expedient to recognize revenues for services the Company renders to customers on time and material basis contracts.

 

The Company generally recognizes revenue from fixed-price applications management, maintenance, or support engagements over time as customers receive and consume the benefits of such services and have applied the as-invoiced practical expedient to recognize revenue for services the Company renders to customers based on the amount the Company has a right to invoice, which is representative of the value being delivered.

 

Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specification and requirements. The Company considers a contract modification when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. The accounting for modifications involves assessing whether the services added to an existing contract are distinct and whether the pricing is at the standalone selling price. Services added that are not distinct are accounted for on a cumulative catch up basis, while those that are distinct are accounted for prospectively, either as a separate contract if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price, or as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract if not priced at the standalone selling price.

 

Certain customers may receive discounts, incentive payments or service level credits. A portion of the 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 revenue will not occur. The Company estimates these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and adjusts revenues recognized. The Company’s estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price may involve judgment and are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information that is reasonably available to us.

 

From time to time, the Company may enter into contracts with customers that include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on an expected cost plus a margin approach.

 

The Company’s warranties generally provide a customer with assurance that the related deliverable will function as the parties intended because it complies with agreed-upon specifications and is therefore not considered as an additional performance obligation in the contract.

 

When the Company receives consideration from a customer prior to transferring services to the customer under the terms of a contract, the Company records deferred revenue, which represents a contract liability. The Company recognizes deferred revenue as revenue after the Company has transferred control of the services to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria are met.

22


 

 

The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of its customers. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. As a practical expedient, the Company does not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and transfer of deliverables is one year or less.

 

The Company reports gross reimbursable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred as both revenues and cost of revenues.

 

Any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is incurred as a result of a revenue transaction (e.g. sales tax) is excluded from the Company’s assessment of transaction prices.

 

Costs to obtain and fulfill

 

The Company’s costs to obtain contracts are generally expensed as incurred, as the liability is not solely a result of obtaining the contract. The costs to obtain contracts are triggered by multiple conditions such as being contingent on future performance, including continued employment and revenue recognized associated with the contract.

 

The Company’s recurring operating costs for contracts with customers are recognized as expense as incurred. Certain eligible costs incurred in the initial phases of the Company’s application maintenance, business process outsourcing and infrastructure services contracts (i.e. set-up or transition costs) are capitalized when such costs (1) relate directly to the contract, (2) generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying the performance obligation in the future, and (3) are expected to be recovered. These costs are expensed ratably over the estimated life of the customer relationship, including expected renewals. In determining the estimated life of the customer relationship, the Company evaluates the contract term, the expected life of the enhanced assets as well as the rate of technological and industry change. Capitalized amounts are monitored regularly for impairment. Impairment losses are recorded when projected remaining undiscounted operating cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the capitalized costs to fulfill.

 

The following table presents information related to the capitalized costs to fulfill, such as set-up or transition activities, for the nine months ended December 31, 2018:

Receivables and Contract Balances

 

The Company classifies its right to consideration in exchange for deliverables as either a receivable or a contract asset. A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional (i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment is due). The Company presents such receivables in accounts receivable or unbilled accounts receivable, in its consolidated statements of financial position at their net estimated realizable value.

 

Contract assets included in unbilled accounts receivable are recorded when services have been provided but the Company does not have an unconditional right to receive consideration. Contracts assets are primarily related to unbilled amounts on fixed-price contracts utilizing the input method of revenue recognition. The timing between services rendered and timing of payment is less than one year. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the contract carrying amount is greater than the remaining consideration receivable, less directly related costs to be incurred.

Remaining performance obligation

 

ASC 606 requires that the Company discloses the aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied as of December 31, 2018. This disclosure is not required for:

 

(1) contracts with an original duration of one year or less, including contracts that can be terminated for convenience without a substantive penalty,

(2) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenues based on the right to invoice for services performed,

(3) variable consideration allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-14(b), for which the criteria in ASC 606- 10-32-40 have been met, or

25


 

(4) variable consideration in the form of a sales-based or usage-based royalty promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property.

 

Many of the Company’s performance obligations meet one or more of these exemptions. As of December 31, 2018, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, other than those meeting the exclusion criteria above, was $50,363 and will be recognized as revenue within 4 years.

(9) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On May 3, 2017, the Company entered into an investment agreement with The Orogen Group (‘‘Orogen’’) pursuant to which Orogen purchased 108,000 shares of the Company’s newly issued Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, initially convertible into 3,000,000 shares of common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $108,000 with an initial conversion price of $36.00 (the ‘‘Orogen Preferred Stock Financing’’). Under the terms of the investment, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a 3.875% dividend per annum, payable quarterly in additional shares of common stock and/or cash at the Company’s option. If any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have not been converted into common stock prior to May 3, 2024, the Company will be required to repurchase such shares at a repurchase price equal to the liquidation preference of the repurchased shares plus the amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. If the Company fails to effect such repurchase, the dividend rate on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will increase by 1% per annum and an additional 1% per annum on each anniversary of May 3, 2024 during the period in which such

26


 

failure to effect the repurchase is continuing, except that the dividend rate will not increase to more than 6.875% per annum.

 

In connection with the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company incurred direct and incremental expenses of $1,154, including financial advisory fees, closing costs, legal expenses and other offering-related expenses. These issuance costs are recorded as a reduction to the proceeds received from issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. These direct and incremental expenses reduced the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and will be accreted through retained earnings as a deemed dividend from the date of issuance through the first possible known redemption date, May 3, 2024. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded accretions to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock related to its issuance cost. Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend at the rate of 3.875% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. During the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company has paid $3,138 and $2,081, respectively, as cash dividend on Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had declared and accrued dividends of $686 associated with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

(11) Income Taxes

 

The Company applies an estimated annual effective tax rate to its year-to-date operating results to determine the interim provision (benefit) for income tax expense. The Company’s effective tax rate was 44.8% and 63.3% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to an effective tax rate of 148.0% and 86.1% for the three and

27


 

nine months ended December 31, 2017. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 was significantly impacted by electing disregarded entity treatment for certain foreign subsidiaries, Global Intangible Low—taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions and executive compensation limitations enacted in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), enacted on December 22, 2017 by the U.S. government. The Company’s reported effective tax rate is also impacted by jurisdictional mix of profits and losses in which the Company operates, foreign statutory tax rates in effect, unusual or infrequent discrete items requiring a provision during the period and certain exemptions or tax holidays applicable to the Company.

 

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, the Company elected to treat several foreign entities as disregarded entities. The earnings of these subsidiaries will be subject to US taxation as well as local taxation with a corresponding foreign tax credit, at the election of the Company. The election resulted in a deferred tax charge of $6,288 during the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The election also makes available to the Company benefits of foreign tax credits. The Company’s income tax provision for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 includes the expected impact of GILTI and executive compensation limitations of the Tax Act impacting our operating results for the Company’s 2019 fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The Company’s aggregate income tax rate in foreign jurisdictions is comparable to its income tax rate in the United States, as a result of the Tax Act, other than in jurisdictions in which the Company has tax holiday benefits.

 

The Tax Act contains several key tax provisions that have impacted the Company, including the reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Act also includes a variety of other changes, such as a deemed repatriation tax on accumulated foreign earnings, a limitation on the tax deductibility of interest expense, acceleration of business asset expensing, and reduction in the amount of executive pay that could qualify as a tax deduction, among others. The lower corporate income tax rate required the Company to remeasure its U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as reassess the realizability of its deferred tax assets and liabilities. ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires the Company to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment. The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Job Act (“SAB 118”), which allows the Company to record provisional amounts during a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a provisional charge of $17,834 for deemed repatriation of unremitted earnings and a provisional charge of $4,890 primarily to remeasure the Company’s opening U.S. deferred tax assets to reflect the lower statutory rate at which they will be realized. The Company has elected to pay the deemed repatriation tax on unremitted earnings in eight installments through the fiscal year 2025. In July 2018, the Company paid approximately $1,427 representing the first year installment out of the eight yearly installments.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company made a final assessment of the deemed repatriation tax on unremitted earnings and the remeasurement of the Company’s opening U.S. deferred tax assets to reflect the lower statutory rate by the Tax Act as required by SAB 118. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized a $1,628 reduction to income tax expense related to the deemed repatriation of unremitted earnings as the Company finalized its provisional calculation related to the enactment of the Tax Act. The total impact from the Tax Act was $21,096. At December 31, 2018, the remaining deemed repatriation balance is $14,779, of which $1,139 is included in income tax payable and $13,640 is included in long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

The U.S. Tax Act subjects a U.S. shareholder to GILTI earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 740, No. 5, Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, states that an entity can make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred. The Company has elected to provide for GILTI in the year incurred. The Company’s results for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 include the expected impact of GILTI. Given the complexity of the GILTI provisions, and foreign tax credit provisions, the Company continues to evaluate the effects of the GILTI provisions on its results. The Company continues to review the anticipated impacts of the base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”), and the associated safe harbor on inter-company payments, which is effective for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The Company has not recorded any impact associated with BEAT in the tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 given the Company’s understanding of current guidance.

 

28


 

A valuation allowance is required if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the asset will not be realized due to the inability of the Company to generate sufficient taxable income in a specific jurisdiction. The Company has $19,573 and $1,726 of net deferred tax assets in the United States and the United Kingdom, respectively, at December 31, 2018. The Company has not recorded valuation allowance as management has concluded it is more likely than not to be utilized before expiration. The Company expects sufficient taxable income in future periods related to the impact of the GILTI and the election to treat several foreign entities as disregarded entities.

 

The Company’s Indian subsidiaries operate several development centers in areas designated a special economic zone, or SEZ, under the SEZ Act of 2005. In particular, the Company was approved as an SEZ Co-developer and has built a campus on a 6.3 acre parcel of land in Hyderabad, India that has been designated as an SEZ. As an SEZ Co-developer, the Company is entitled to certain tax benefits for any consecutive period of 10 years during the 15 year period starting in fiscal year 2008. The Company has other units at various stages of tax holiday benefit.

 

In addition, the Company’s Sri Lankan subsidiary, Virtusa (Private) Limited, is operating under a 12-year income tax holiday arrangement that is set to expire on March 31, 2019 and required Virtusa (Private) Limited to retain certain job creation and investment criteria through the expiration of the holiday period. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Company believes it had fulfilled its hiring and investment commitments and is eligible for tax holiday through March 2019. At December 31, 2018, the Company believes it is eligible for continued benefits for the entire 12-year tax holiday.

 

Due to the geographical scope of the Company’s operations, the Company is subject to tax examinations in various jurisdictions. The Company’s ongoing assessments of the more-likely-than-not outcomes of these examinations and related tax positions require judgment and can increase or decrease the Company’s effective tax rate, as well as impact the Company’s operating results. The specific timing of when the resolution of each tax position will be reached is uncertain. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any ongoing examination will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements within the next twelve months. The Company’s major taxing jurisdictions include the United States, the United Kingdom, India and Sri Lanka. In the United States, the Company remains subject to examination for all tax years ended after March 31, 2014. In the foreign jurisdictions, the Company generally remains subject to examination for tax years ended after March 31, 2005. The Company has been under income tax examination in India, the U.K. and the United States. The Company is currently appealing assessments in India for fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 through 2014. In the United Kingdom, the Company is currently under examination for transfer pricing matters for the years ended March 2014 to March 2017. In the United States, the IRS has initiated an examination of fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2017.

 

Unrecognized tax benefits represent uncertain tax positions for which the Company has established reserves. At December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the total liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $7,013 and $7,544, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits may be adjusted upon the closing of the statute of limitations for income tax returns filed in various jurisdictions. During the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $531 and $107, respectively. The decrease in unrecognized tax benefits in the nine months period ending December 31, 2018 was predominantly due to foreign currency movements and the settlement of a prior period position offset by increases for incremental interest accrued on existing uncertain tax positions.

 

Undistributed Earnings of Foreign Subsidiaries

 

A substantial amount of the Company’s income before provision for income tax is from operations earned in its Indian and Sri Lankan subsidiaries and is subject to tax holiday. The Company intends to use accumulated and future earnings of foreign subsidiaries to expand operations outside the United States and, accordingly, undistributed income is considered indefinitely reinvested. The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on foreign currency translation or applicable withholding tax until a distribution is declared. At December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $188,183 of cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments that would otherwise be available for potential distribution, if not indefinitely reinvested. If required, such cash and investments could be repatriated to the United States. Due to the various methods by which such earnings could be repatriated in the future, the amount of taxes attributable to the undistributed earnings is not practicably determinable.

(13) Debt

 

On February 6, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of February 6, 2018, by and among the Company, its guarantor subsidiaries party thereto, the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as joint book runners and lead arrangers. The Credit Agreement replaced the prior $300,000 credit agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and provides for a $200,000 revolving credit facility and a $250,000 term loan and delayed-draw term loan. On August 14, 2018, the Company drew down $32,000 from the credit facility to finance the Polaris Consulting & Services Limited (“Polaris”) delisting open offer. The Company is required under the terms of the Credit Agreement to make quarterly principal payments on the term loan. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, the Company is required to make principal payments of $3,125 per quarter. The Credit Agreement includes customary maximum debt to EBITDA and minimum fixed charge coverage covenants. The term of the Credit Agreement is five years ending February 6, 2023.

In July 2016 and November 2018, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions to mitigate Company’s interest rate risk on Company’s variable rate debt (See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements).

 

Beginning in fiscal 2009, the Company’s U.K. subsidiary entered into an agreement with an unrelated financial institution to sell, without recourse or continuing involvement, certain of its European-based accounts receivable balances from one client to such third party financial institution. During the nine months ended December 31, 2018, $18,453 of receivables were sold under the terms of the financing agreement. Fees paid pursuant to this agreement were immaterial during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018. No amounts were due as of December 31, 2018, but the Company may elect to use this program again in future periods. However, the Company cannot provide any assurances that this or any other financing facilities will be available or utilized in the future.

 

(14) Redeemable noncontrolling interest

 

In connection with the Company’s Indian Subsidiary, Virtusa Consulting Services Private Limited (“Virtusa India”) delisting offer of Polaris and subsequent stock exchange approvals, effective August 1, 2018, the Polaris common shares were delisted in accordance with SEBI Delisting Regulations. For a period of one year following the date of delisting, Virtusa India will, in compliance with SEBI Delisting Regulations, permit the public shareholders of Polaris to tender their shares for sale to Virtusa India at the exit price of INR 480 per share.

 

In connection with the Polaris delisting offer, during the nine months ended December 31, 2018, Virtusa India purchased 4,436,342 shares, or approximately 4.3% of Polaris common stock from shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $30,387.

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Polaris common stock held by noncontrolling interest shareholders was 3,450,896 or approximately 3.34% of Polaris’ basic shares of common stock outstanding. In accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Company has recorded the fair value of these shares as well as comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interest totaling $24,924  and presented this in the mezzanine section of the consolidated balance sheet as redeemable noncontrolling interest.

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $857 of Polaris stock options at fair value that were reclassified to current liabilities related to a deemed cash settlement modification resulting from the delisting offer.

centers in the United States. At December 31, 2018, we had 21,476 employees, or team members, inclusive of our eTouch team members.

 

To strengthen our digital engineering capabilities and establish a solid base in Silicon Valley, on March 12, 2018, we entered into an equity purchase agreement by and among the Company, eTouch Systems Corp. (“eTouch US”) and each of the equity holders of eTouch US to acquire all of the outstanding shares of eTouch US, and certain of the Company’s Indian subsidiaries entered into a share purchase agreement by and among those Company subsidiaries, eTouch Systems (India) Pvt. Ltd (“eTouch India,” together with eTouch US, “eTouch”) and the equity holders of eTouch India to acquire all of the outstanding shares of eTouch India.

 

Under the terms of the equity purchase agreement and the share purchase agreement, on March 12, 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of eTouch US and eTouch India for approximately $140.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments, with up to an additional $15.0 million set aside for retention bonuses to be paid to eTouch management and key employees, in equal installments on the first and second anniversary of the transaction. The purchase price is being paid in three tranches, with $80.0 million paid at closing, $42.5 million on the 12‑month anniversary of the close of the transaction, and $17.5 million on the 18‑month anniversary of the close of the transaction, subject in each case to certain adjustments.

 

On May 3, 2017, we entered into an investment agreement with The Orogen Group (“Orogen”) pursuant to which Orogen purchased 108,000 shares of the Company’s newly issued Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, initially convertible into 3,000,000 shares of common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $108 million with an initial conversion price of $36.00 (the “Orogen Preferred Stock Financing”). In connection with the investment, Vikram S. Pandit, the former CEO of Citigroup, was appointed to Virtusa’s Board of Directors. Orogen is a new operating company that was created by Vikram Pandit and Atairos Group, Inc., an independent private company focused on supporting growth-oriented businesses, to leverage the opportunities created by the evolution of the financial services landscape and to identify and invest in financial services companies and related businesses with proven business models.

 

Under the terms of the investment, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a 3.875% dividend per annum, payable quarterly in additional shares of common stock and/or cash at our option. If any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have not been converted into common stock prior to May 3, 2024, we will be required to repurchase such shares at a repurchase price equal to the liquidation preference of the repurchased shares plus the amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. If we fail to effect such repurchase, the dividend rate on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will increase by 1% per annum and an additional 1% per annum on each anniversary of May 3, 2024 during the period in which such failure to effect the repurchase is continuing, except that the dividend rate will not increase to more than 6.875% per annum.

 

In connection with the investment, we repaid $81 million of our outstanding senior term loan, and our board of directors approved the repurchase of approximately $30 million of our common stock.

 

On March 3, 2016, our Indian subsidiary, Virtusa Consulting Services Private Limited (“Virtusa India”), acquired approximately 51.7% of the fully diluted shares of Polaris Consulting & Services Limited (“Polaris”) for approximately $168.3 million in cash (the “Polaris Transaction”) pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated as of November 5, 2015, by and among Virtusa India, Polaris and the promoter sellers named therein. Through a series of transactions and in compliance with the applicable Indian rules on takeovers and SEBI Delisting Regulations, Virtusa increased its ownership interest in Polaris from 51.7% to 93.0% by February 12, 2018, when Virtusa consummated its Polaris delisting offer with respect to the public shareholders of Polaris. The delisting offer resulted in an accepted exit price of INR 480 per share (“Exit Price”), for an aggregate consideration of approximately $145.0 million, exclusive of transaction and closing costs. On July 11, 2018, the stock exchanges on which Polaris common shares are listed notified Polaris that trading in equity shares of Polaris would be discontinued and delisted effective on August 1, 2018. For a period of one year following the date of delisting, Virtusa India will, in compliance with SEBI Delisting Regulations, permit the public shareholders of Polaris to tender their shares for sale to Virtusa India at the Exit Price. In connection with the Polaris delisting offer, during the nine months ended December 31, 2018, Virtusa India purchased 4,436,342 shares, or 4.3%, of Polaris common stock from Polaris public shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $30.4 million. At December 31, 2018,  

34


 

if all the remaining shares (approximately 3.34%) of Polaris were tendered at the Exit Price, we would pay additional consideration of approximately $23.8 million in the aggregate.

 

In connection with, and as part of the Polaris acquisition, on November 5, 2015, we entered into an amendment with Citigroup Technology, Inc. (“Citi”) and Polaris, which became effective upon the closing of the Polaris Transaction, pursuant to which Virtusa was added as a party to the master services agreement with Citi and Citi agreed to appoint the Company and Polaris as a preferred vendor.

 

On February 6, 2018, we entered into a $450.0 million credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with a syndicated bank group jointly lead by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, which amends and restates our prior $300.0 million credit agreement (which we had originally entered into on February 25, 2016 (“Prior Credit Agreement”) to fund the Polaris acquisition and certain related transactions) and provides for a $200.0 million revolving credit facility, a $180.0 million term loan facility, and a $70.0 million delayed-draw term loan. We drew down $180.0 million under the term loan of the Credit Agreement and $55.0 million under the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement to repay in full the amount outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement and fund the Polaris delisting transaction. On March 12, 2018, we drew down the $70.0 million delayed draw to fund the eTouch acquisition. On August 14, 2018, we drew down $32.0 million from our credit facility to fund the Polaris delisting open offer. Interest under this new credit facility accrues at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus 3.0%, subject to step-downs based on the Company’s ratio of debt to EBITDA. We entered into interest rate swap agreements to minimize interest rate exposure. The Credit Agreement includes maximum debt to EBITDA and minimum fixed charge coverage covenants. The term of the Credit Agreement is five years, ending February 6, 2023 (See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for further information). As of December 31, 2018, the outstanding amount under the Credit Agreement was $327.6 million.

 

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act contains several key tax provisions that will impact the Company, including the reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Act also includes a variety of other changes, such as a one-time repatriation tax on accumulated foreign earnings, a limitation on the tax deductibility of interest expense, acceleration of business asset expensing, and reduction in the amount of executive pay that could qualify as a tax deduction, among others. During the nine months ended December 31, 2018, the Company elected to treat several foreign entities as disregarded entities. The earnings of these subsidiaries will be subject to US taxation as well as local taxation with a corresponding foreign tax credit. (See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for further information).

 

Financial overview

 

In the three months ended December 31, 2018, our revenue increased by 19.3% to $314.7 million, compared to $263.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 2017. In the nine months ended December 31, 2018, our revenue increased by 24.5% to $920.2 million, compared to $739.3 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2017.

 

In the three months ended December 31, 2018, net income available to Virtusa common stockholders increased by 203.1% to a net income of $11.5 million, as compared to a net loss of $(11.1) million in the three months ended December 31, 2017. Net income increased by 200.4% to a net income of $4.5 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2018, compared to a net loss of $(4.5) million in the nine months ended December 31, 2017.

 

The increase in revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, primarily resulted from:

 

·

Revenue from the eTouch acquisition

 

·

Broad based growth, particularly in our top ten clients

 

·

Revenue growth in our industry groups, led by banking, insurance, telecommunications and healthcare industry groups

35


 

 

·

Revenue growth led by North America and Europe

 

The key drivers of the increase in our net income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, were as follows:

 

·

Higher revenue growth, particularly from the eTouch acquisition, including growth in banking, insurance, telecommunications and healthcare industry groups

 

·

Substantial depreciation of the Indian rupee, which resulted in higher gross profit and operating income

 

·

Substantial decrease in noncontrolling interest expense related to Polaris acquisition

 

·

Substantial decrease in tax expense reflective of impact of the Tax Act

 

·

For the three months ended December 31, 2018 only, an increase in the foreign currency transaction gains, primarily related to the revaluation of Indian rupee denominated intercompany note, primarily due to a substantial appreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar

 

partially offset by:

 

·

For the nine months ended December 31, 2018 only, an increase in foreign currency transaction losses, primarily related to the revaluation of Indian rupee denominated intercompany note, primarily due to a substantial depreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar

 

·

Increased cost of revenue due to higher onsite effort and subcontractor costs

 

·

Increase in interest expense related to our term loan

 

High repeat business and client concentration are common in our industry. During the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, 88% (reflecting new clients from the recent eTouch acquisition) and 96%, respectively, of our revenue was derived from clients who had been using our services for more than one year. During the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, 89% (reflecting new clients from the recent eTouch acquisition) and 97%, respectively, of our revenue was derived from clients who had been using our services for more than one year. Accordingly, our global account management and service delivery teams focus on expanding client relationships and converting new engagements to long-term relationships to generate repeat revenue and expand revenue streams from existing clients. We also have a dedicated business development team focused on generating engagements with new clients to continue to expand our client base and, over time, reduce client concentration.

 

We derive our revenue from two types of service offerings: application outsourcing, which is recurring in nature; and consulting, including technology implementation, which is non-recurring in nature. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, our application outsourcing and consulting revenue represented 53% and 47%, respectively of our total revenue as compared to 56% and 44%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2017. For the nine months ended December 31, 2018, our application outsourcing and consulting revenue represented 53% and 47%, respectively, of our total revenue as compared to 57% and 43%, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31, 2017.

 

In the three months ended December 31, 2018, our North America revenue increased by 30.2%, or $52.0 million, to $224.1 million, or 71% of total revenue, from $172.1 million, or 65.2% of total revenue in the three months ended December 31, 2017. In the nine months ended December 31, 2018, our North America revenue increased by 35.6%, or $171.3 million, to $652.1 million, or 71% of total revenue, from $480.8 million, or 65.0% of total revenue in the nine months ended December 31, 2017. The increase in revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 is primarily due to revenue from the eTouch acquisition and revenue growth in our banking, insurance and healthcare clients.

In the three months ended December 31, 2018, our European revenue increased by 2.8%, or $1.8 million, to $65.0 million, or 21% of total revenue, from $63.3 million, or 24.0% of total revenue in the three months ended December 31, 2017. In the nine months ended December 31, 2018, our European revenue increased by 10.5%, or $18.3 million, to $192.2 million, or 21% of total revenue, from $173.9 million, or 23.5% of total revenue in the nine months ended December 31, 2017. The increase in revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 is primarily due to an increase in revenue from European banking and telecommunication clients.

 

Our gross profit increased by $12.8 million to $93.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $80.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2017. Our gross profit increased by $54.7 million to $265.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $211.2 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2017. The increase in gross profit during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, was primarily due to higher revenue and substantial depreciation of the Indian rupee, partially offset by higher onsite effort and subcontractor costs. As a percentage of revenue, for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2017, gross margin decreased from 30.5% to 29.6% primarily due to higher onsite effort and subcontractor costs. During the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, gross margin, as a percentage of revenue, was 28.9% and 28.6%, respectively.

 

We perform our services under both time-and-materials and fixed-price contracts. Revenue from fixed-price contracts represented 40% and 42% of total revenue, and revenue from time-and-materials contracts represented 60% and 58% of total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Revenue from fixed-price contracts represented 40% and 39% of total revenue and revenue from time-and-materials contracts represented 60% and 61% for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The revenue earned from fixed-price contracts in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 primarily reflects our client preferences.

 

As an IT services company, our revenue growth is highly dependent on our ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain skilled IT professionals. We monitor our overall attrition rates and patterns to align our people management strategy with our growth objectives. At December 31, 2018, our attrition rate for the trailing 12 months, which reflects voluntary and involuntary attrition, was approximately 25.6%. Our attrition rate at December 31, 2018 reflects a higher rate of attrition as compared to the corresponding prior year period. The majority of our attrition occurs in India and Sri Lanka, and is weighted towards the more junior members of our staff. In response to higher attrition and as part of our retention strategies, we have experienced increases in compensation and benefit costs, which may continue in the future. However, we try to absorb such cost increases through price increases or cost management strategies such as managing discretionary costs, the mix of professional staff and utilization levels and achieving other operating efficiencies. If our attrition rate increases or is sustained at higher levels, our growth may slow and our cost of attracting and retaining IT professionals could increase.

 

We engage in a foreign currency hedging strategy using foreign currency forward contracts designed to hedge fluctuations in the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar and U.K. pound sterling, as well as the euro, the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar and the U.K. pound sterling against the U.S. dollar, when consolidated into U.S. dollars. In addition, as part of the Polaris acquisition, the Company has assumed a cash flow program designed to mitigate the impact of the volatility of the translation of Polaris U.S. dollar denominated revenue into Indian rupees to reduce the effect of change in these foreign currency exchange rates on our foreign operations. There is no assurance that these hedging programs or hedging contracts will be effective. Because these foreign currency forward contracts are designed to reduce volatility in the Indian rupee, U.K. pound sterling and euro exchange rates, they not only reduce the negative impact of a stronger Indian rupee, weaker U.K. pound sterling, euro, Canadian dollar and Australian dollar but also could reduce the positive impact of a weaker Indian rupee on our Indian rupee expenses or reduce the impact of a stronger U.K. pound sterling, euro, Canadian dollar and Australian dollar on our U.K. pound sterling, euro, Canadian dollar and Australian dollar denominated revenues.

 

Application of critical accounting estimates and risks

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including the recoverability of tangible assets, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of

37


 

the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, in particular those related to the recognition of revenue and profits based on the percentage of completion method of accounting for fixed-price contracts, share-based compensation, income taxes, including reserves for uncertain tax positions, deferred taxes and liabilities, intangible assets and valuation of financial instruments including derivative contracts and investments. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates. Our management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Additional information about these critical accounting policies may be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section included in the Annual Report.

Revenue

 

Revenue increased by 19.3%, or $50.9 million, from $263.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2017 to $314.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2018. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by revenue from the eTouch acquisition and growth in our banking, insurance, telecommunications and healthcare industry groups. Revenue from North American clients in the three months ended December 31, 2018 increased by $52.0 million, or 30.2%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2017, particularly due to revenue growth from the eTouch acquisition and growth in our banking, insurance and healthcare clients. Revenue from European clients increased by $1.8 million, or 2.8%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2017, primarily due to an increase in revenue from European banking and telecommunications clients. We had 216 active clients at December 31, 2018, as compared to 200 active clients at December 31, 2017.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Costs of revenue increased from $183.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2017 to $221.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $38.0 million, or 20.7%. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of IT professionals (inclusive of eTouch) and related compensation and benefit costs of $27.8 million. The increased costs of revenue were also due to an increase in subcontractor costs of $10.9 million.

38


 

At December 31, 2018, we had 19,266 IT professionals as compared to 17,355 at December 31, 2017. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue increased from 69.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2017 to 70.4% for three months ended December 31, 2018.

 

Gross profit

 

Our gross profit increased by $12.8 million, or 16.0%, to $93.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $80.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017, primarily due to higher revenue and substantial depreciation of the Indian rupee, partially offset by higher onsite effort and subcontractor costs. As a percentage of revenue, for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2017, gross margin decreased from 30.5% to 29.6% primarily due to higher onsite effort and subcontractor costs.

 

Operating expenses

 

Operating expenses increased from $66.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2017 to $73.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $7.2 million, or 10.8%. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase of $3.0 million in compensation related to an increase in the number of non-IT professionals (inclusive of eTouch retention bonuses) and stock compensation. The increase in operating costs were also due to an increase in subcontractor costs of $1.3 million,  an increase in facilities costs of $1.7 million and travel costs of $0.6 million. As a percentage of revenue, our operating expenses decreased from 25.3% in the three months ended December 31, 2017 to 23.5% in the three months ended December 31, 2018.

 

Income from operations

 

Income from operations increased by 41.1%, from $13.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2017 to $19.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2018. As a percentage of revenue, income from operations increased from 5.2% in the three months ended December 31, 2017 to 6.1% in the three months ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to substantial depreciation of the Indian rupee.

 

Other income

 

Other income increased by $1.1 million, from $2.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 2017 to $3.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to net foreign currency transaction gains related to the revaluation of a $300 million Indian rupee denominated intercompany note, primarily due to a substantial appreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by an increase in interest expense related to our term loan.

 

Income tax expense

 

Income tax expense decreased by $14.0 million, from $24.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2017 to $10.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2018. Our effective tax rate decreased from 148.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2017 to 44.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in the tax expense and effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2018, was primarily due to provisional amounts related to the Tax Act recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2017, offset by an increase in tax expense as a result of the election to treat certain subsidiaries as disregarded entities for US tax purposes and the impact from the Global Intangible Low—taxed Income (“GILTI”) tax during the three months ended December 31, 2018. 

 

Noncontrolling interests

 

In connection with the Polaris acquisition, for the three months ended December 31, 2018, we recorded a noncontrolling interest of $0.2 million, representing a 3.46% share of profits of Polaris held by parties other than Virtusa.

Net income (loss) available to Virtusa stockholders increased by 225.1%, from a net loss of $(10.1) million in the three months ended December 31, 2017 to net income of $12.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2018. The increase in net income in the three months ended December 31, 2018 was primarily due to an increase in income from operations, a decrease in tax expense and net foreign currency transaction gains related to the revaluation of a $300 million Indian rupee denominated intercompany note, primarily due to a substantial appreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by an increase in interest expense related to our term loan.

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock dividends and accretion

 

In connection with the Orogen Preferred Stock Financing, we accrued dividends and accreted issuance costs of $1.1 million at a rate of 3.875% per annum during the three months ended December 31, 2018.

 

Net income (loss) available to Virtusa common stockholders

The increase in cost of revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of IT professionals (inclusive of eTouch) and related compensation and benefit costs of $96.5 million. The increased costs of revenue are also due to an increase in subcontractor costs of $28.7 million and an increase in travel expenses of $2.2 million.

The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase of $26.1 million in compensation related to an increase in the number of non-IT professionals (inclusive of eTouch retention bonuses) and stock compensation, an increase in facilities costs of $5.7 million, subcontractors costs of $1.8 million and travel costs of $2.2 million. As a percentage of revenue, our operating expenses decreased from 24.5% in the nine months ended December 31, 2017 to 23.8% in the nine months ended December 31, 2018.

Income from operations increased by 57.4%, from $30.0 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2017 to $47.2 million income in the nine months ended December 31, 2018. As a percentage of revenue, income from operations increased from 4.1% in the nine months ended December 31, 2017 to 5.1% in the nine months ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to a substantial depreciation of the Indian rupee.

The decrease in the tax expense and effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2018, was primarily due to a $19.8 million provisional amount related to the Tax Act recorded during the nine months ended December 31, 2017, offset by a deferred tax charge

41


 

of $6.3 million as a result of the election to treat certain subsidiaries as disregarded entities for US tax purposes and an increase in the marginal tax rate during the nine months ended December 31, 2018.

Non-GAAP Measures

 

We include certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by Regulation G by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These non-GAAP financial measures are 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 measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

We consider the total measure of cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments to be an important indicator of our overall liquidity. All of our investments are classified as either equity or available-for-sale securities, including our long-term investments which consist of fixed income securities, including government agency bonds and corporate bonds, which meet the credit rating and diversification requirements of our investment policy as approved by our audit committee and board of directors.

We present the following consolidated statements of income (loss) measures that exclude, when applicable, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related charges, restructuring charges, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, impairment of investments, non-recurring third party financing costs, the tax impact of dividends received from foreign subsidiaries, the initial impact of our election to treat certain subsidiaries as disregarded entities for U.S. tax purposes and the impact from the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation (“Tax Act”) to provide further insights into the comparison of our operating results among the periods:

 

·

Non-GAAP income from operations: income from operations, as reported on our consolidated statements of income (loss), excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related charges and restructuring charges

 

·

Non-GAAP operating margin: non-GAAP income from operations as a percentage of reported revenues

 

·

Non-GAAP net income available to Virtusa common stockholders: net income (loss) available to Virtusa common stockholders, as reported on our consolidated statements of income (loss), excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, restructuring charges, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, impairment of investments, non-recurring third party financing costs, the tax impact of the above items, the initial impact of our election to treat certain subsidiaries as disregarded entities for U.S. tax purposes, the tax impact of dividends received from foreign subsidiaries and the impact from the Tax Act.

 

·

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share: diluted earnings (loss) per share, as reported on our consolidated statements of income (loss) available to Virtusa common stockholders, excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, restructuring charges, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, impairment of investments, non-recurring third party financing costs, the tax impact of the above items, the initial impact of our election to treat certain subsidiaries as disregarded entities for U.S. tax purposes, the tax impact of dividends received from foreign subsidiaries and the impact from the Tax Act. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is also subject to dilutive and anti-dilutive requirements of the if-converted method related to our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that could result in a difference between GAAP to non-GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Tax adjustments reflect the estimated tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments using the tax rates at which these adjustments are expected to be realized for the respective periods, excluding the initial impact of our election to treat certain subsidiaries as disregarded entities for U.S. tax purposes. Tax adjustments also assume application of foreign tax credit benefits in the United States.

During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the weighted average shares outstanding of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of 3,000,000 were included in the calculations of GAAP diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been dilutive using the if-converted method. During the nine months ended December 31, 2018, the weighted average shares outstanding of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of 3,000,000 were excluded from the calculations of GAAP diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive using the if-converted method.

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, the weighted average shares outstanding of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of 3,000,000 and 2,637,363, respectively, were excluded from the calculations of GAAP diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive using the if-converted method.

 

The following table provides the non-GAAP net income available to Virtusa common stockholders and non-GAAP dilutive weighted average shares outstanding using if-converted method to calculate the non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Liquidity and capital resources

 

We have financed our operations primarily from sales of shares of common stock, cash from operations, debt financing and from sales of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

We do not believe the deemed repatriation tax on accumulated foreign earnings related to the Tax Act will have a significant impact on our cash flows in any individual fiscal year.

 

To strengthen our digital engineering capabilities and establish a solid base in Silicon Valley, on March 12, 2018, we entered into an equity purchase agreement by and among the Company, eTouch Systems Corp. (“eTouch US”) and each of the equity holders of eTouch US to acquire all of the outstanding shares of eTouch US, and certain of the Company’s Indian subsidiaries entered into an share purchase agreement by and among those Company subsidiaries, eTouch Systems (India) Pvt. Ltd (“eTouch India,” together with eTouch US, “eTouch”) and the equity holders of eTouch India to acquire all of the outstanding shares of eTouch India.

 

Under the terms of the equity purchase agreement and the share purchase agreement, on March 12, 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of eTouch US and eTouch India for approximately $140.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments, with up to an additional $15.0 million set aside for retention bonuses to be paid to eTouch management and key employees, in equal installments on the first and second anniversary of the transaction. The purchase price will be paid in three tranches with $80.0 million paid at closing, $42.5 million on the 12‑month anniversary of the close of the transaction, and $17.5 million on the 18‑month anniversary of the close of the transaction, subject in each case to certain adjustments.

On March 3, 2016, our Indian subsidiary, Virtusa Consulting Services Private Limited (“Virtusa India”) acquired approximately 51.7% of the fully diluted shares of Polaris Consulting & Services Limited (“Polaris”) for approximately $168.3 million in cash (the “Polaris Transaction”) pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated as of November 5, 2015, by and among Virtusa India, Polaris and the promoter sellers named therein. Through a series of transactions and in compliance with the applicable Indian rules on takeovers and SEBI Delisting Regulations, Virtusa increased its ownership interest in Polaris from 51.7% to 93.0% by February 12, 2018 when Virtusa consummated its Polaris delisting offer with respect to the public shareholders of Polaris. The delisting offer resulted in an accepted exit price of INR 480 per share (“Exit Price”), for an aggregate consideration of approximately $145.0 million, exclusive of transaction and closing costs. On July 11, 2018, the stock exchanges on which Polaris common shares are listed notified Polaris that trading in equity shares of Polaris would be discontinued and delisted effective on August 1, 2018. For a period of one year following the date of delisting, Virtusa India will, in compliance with SEBI Delisting Regulations, permit the public shareholders of Polaris to tender their shares for sale to Virtusa India at the Exit Price. In connection with the Polaris delisting offer, during the nine months ended December 31, 2018 Virtusa India purchased 4,436,342 shares, or 4.3%, of Polaris common stock from Polaris public shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $30.4 million. At December 31, 2018, if all the remaining shares outstanding of Polaris (approximately 3.3%) were tendered at the Exit Price, we would pay additional consideration of approximately $23.8 million in the aggregate.

 

In connection with, and as part of the Polaris acquisition, on November 5, 2015, we entered into an amendment with Citigroup Technology, Inc. (“Citi”) and Polaris, which became effective upon the closing of the Polaris Transaction, pursuant to which Virtusa was added as a party to the master services agreement with Citi and Citi agreed to appoint the Company and Polaris as a preferred vendor.

 

On February 6, 2018, we entered into a $450.0 million credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with a syndicated bank group jointly lead by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, which amends and restates our prior $300.0 million credit agreement (which we had originally entered into on February 25, 2016 (“Prior Credit Agreement”) to fund the Polaris acquisition and Mandatory Tender Offer) and provides for a $200.0 million revolving credit facility, a $180.0 million term loan facility, and a $70.0 million delayed-draw term loan. We drew down $180.0 million under the term loan of the Credit Agreement and $55.0 million under the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement to repay in full the amount outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement and fund the Polaris delisting transaction. On March 12, 2018, we drew down the $70 million delayed draw to fund the eTouch acquisition. On August 14, 2018, we drew down $32 million from our credit facility to fund the Polaris delisting open offer. Interest under this new credit facility accrues at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus 3.0%, subject to step-downs based on the Company’s ratio of debt to EBITDA. We entered into interest rate swap agreements to minimize interest rate exposure. The Credit Agreement includes maximum debt to EBITDA and minimum fixed charge coverage covenants. The term of the Credit Agreement is five years, ending February 6, 2023 (See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for further information).

 

At December 31, 2018, the outstanding amount under the Credit Agreement was $327.6 million. At December 31, 2018, the interest rates on the term loan and line of credit were 5.03% and 4.95% respectively. For the description of the financial covenants of the Credit Agreement and certain other the terms please See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements.

 

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

 

At December 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants and has provided a quarterly certification to our lenders to that effect. We believe that we currently meet all conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement to borrow thereunder and we are not aware of any conditions that would prevent us from borrowing part or all of the

47


 

remaining available capacity under the existing revolving credit facility at December 31, 2018 and through the date of this filing.

 

On May 3, 2017, we entered into an investment agreement with The Orogen Group (“Orogen”) pursuant to which Orogen purchased 108,000 shares of the Company’s newly issued Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, initially convertible into 3,000,000 shares of common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $108 million with an initial conversion price of $36.00 (the “Orogen Preferred Stock Financing”). In connection with the investment, Vikram S. Pandit, the former CEO of Citigroup, was appointed to Virtusa’s Board of Directors. Orogen is a new operating company that was created by Vikram Pandit and Atairos Group, Inc., an independent private company focused on supporting growth-oriented businesses, to leverage the opportunities created by the evolution of the financial services landscape and to identify and invest in financial services companies and related businesses with proven business models.

 

Under the terms of the investment, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a 3.875% dividend per annum, payable quarterly in additional shares of common stock and/or cash at our option. If any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have not been converted into common stock prior to May 3, 2024, we will be required to repurchase such shares at a repurchase price equal to the liquidation preference of the repurchased shares plus the amount of accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. If we fail to effect such repurchase, the dividend rate on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will increase by 1% per annum and an additional 1% per annum on each anniversary of May 3, 2024 during the period in which such failure to effect the repurchase is continuing, except that the dividend rate will not increase to more than 6.875% per annum. During the nine months ended December 31, 2018, the Company has paid $3.1 million as a cash dividend on its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

The Company also uses interest rate swaps to mitigate the Company’s interest rate risk on the Company’s variable rate debt. The Company’s objective is to limit the variability of cash flows associated with changes in LIBOR interest rate payments due on the Credit Agreement (See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements), by using pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps to offset the future variable rate interest payments. The Company purchased interest rate swaps in July 2016 with an effective date of July 2017 and November 2018.  The July 2016 interest rate swaps are at a blended weighted average of 1.025% and the Company will receive 1-month LIBOR on the same notional amounts.  The November 2018 interest rate swaps are at a fixed rate of 2.85% and are designed to maintain a 50% coverage of our LIBOR debt, therefore the notional amount changes over the life of the swap to retain the 50% coverage target. 

 

The counterparties to the Interest Rate Swap Agreements could demand an early termination of the June 2016 and November 2018 Swap Agreements if we are in default under the Credit Agreement, or any agreement that amends or replaces the Credit Agreement in which the counterparty is a member, and we are unable to cure the default. An event of default under the Credit Agreement includes customary events of default and failure to comply with financial covenants, including a maximum consolidated leverage ratio commencing on December 31, 2017, of not more than 3.50 to 1.00 for periods ending prior to December 31, 2019, of not more than 3.25 to 1.00 commencing December 31, 2019 and for periods ending prior to September 30, 2020, and 3.00 to 1.00 thereafter and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2018, we were in compliance with these covenants. The net unrealized loss associated with Interest Rate Swap Agreement was $0.5 million as of December 31, 2018, which represents the estimated amount that we would pay to the counterparties in the event of an early termination.

 

At December 31, 2018, a significant portion of our cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments was held by our foreign subsidiaries. We continually monitor our cash needs and employ tax planning and financing strategies to ensure cash is available in the appropriate jurisdictions to meet operating needs. The cash held by our foreign subsidiaries is considered indefinitely reinvested in local operations. If required, it could be repatriated to the United States. Due to the various methods by which such earnings could be repatriated in the future, the amount of taxes attributable to these earnings is not practicably determinable. If such earnings were to be repatriated in the future or are no longer deemed to be indefinitely reinvested, we will accrue the applicable amount of taxes.

 

Beginning in fiscal 2009, our U.K. subsidiary entered into an agreement with an unrelated financial institution to sell, without recourse, certain of its Europe-based accounts receivable balances from one client to the financial institution. During the nine months ended December 31, 2018, we sold $18.5 million of receivables under the terms of the financing agreement. Fees paid pursuant to this agreement were not material during the three and nine months ended December 31,

48


 

2018. No amounts were due under the financing agreement at December 31, 2017, but we may elect to use this program again in future periods. However, we cannot provide any assurances that this or any other financing facilities will be available or utilized in the future.

Operating activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities increased in the nine months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2017, primarily due to an increase in the working capital and an increase in the net income adjusted for non-cash expenses, partially offset by a  decrease in long-term assets and long-term liabilities during the nine months ended December 31, 2018.

 

Investing activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities increased in the nine months ended December 31, 2018 compared to nine months ended December 31, 2017. The increase in net cash used in investing activities is primarily due to the increase in the purchase of property and equipment and a net increase in the purchase of investments during the nine months ended December 31, 2018.

 

Financing activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities increased in the nine months ended December 31, 2018 compared to nine months ended December 31, 2017. The increase in net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2018 is primarily due to the payment of redeemable noncontrolling interest, an increase in payment of withholding taxes related to net share settlements of restricted stock, payment of debt and an increase in payment of dividend on Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, partially offset by proceeds from the revolving credit facility.

 

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

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

 

We have entered into foreign currency derivative contracts with the objective of limiting our exposure to changes in the Indian rupee, the U.K. pound sterling, the euro, the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar as described below and in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

 

We maintain a foreign currency cash flow hedging program designed to further mitigate the risks of volatility in the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar and U.K. pound sterling as described below in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.” From time to time, we may also purchase multiple foreign currency forward contracts designed to hedge fluctuation in foreign currencies, such as the U.K. pound sterling, euro, Canadian dollar and Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency denominated

revenue and expenses. Other than these foreign currency derivative contracts, we have not entered into off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are likely to affect liquidity or the availability of or requirements for capital resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Our market risks, and the ways we manage them, are summarized in Part II, Item 7A of the Annual Report. There have been no material changes in the three or nine months ended December 31, 2018 to such risks or to our management of such risks except for the additional factors noted below.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

 

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the ordinary course of business. We have historically entered into, and in the future we may enter into, foreign currency derivative contracts to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on both foreign currency denominated assets and forecasted revenue and expenses. The purpose of this foreign exchange policy is to protect us from the risk that the recognition of and eventual cash flows related to Indian rupee denominated expenses might be affected by changes in exchange rates. Some of these contracts meet the criteria for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges (See Note 6 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included herein for a description of recent hedging activities).

 

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

 

We have two 18 month rolling programs comprised of a series of foreign exchange forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges. One program is designed to mitigate the impact of volatility in the U.S. dollar equivalent of our Indian rupee denominated expenses. The second program was assumed as part of the Polaris acquisition and is intended to mitigate the volatility of the U.S. dollar denominated revenue that is translated into Indian rupees. While these hedges are achieving the designed objective, upon consolidation they may cause volatility in revenue. The U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of all outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts at December 31, 2018 was $158.9 million. There is no assurance that these hedging programs or hedging contracts will be effective. As these foreign currency hedging programs are designed to reduce volatility in the Indian rupee, they not only reduce the negative impact of a stronger Indian rupee but also reduce the positive impact of a weaker Indian rupee on our Indian rupee expenses.

 

The U.K. pound sterling, the euro, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar exchange fluctuations can have an unpredictable impact on our U.K. pound sterling and the euro revenues generated and costs incurred. In response to this volatility, we have entered into hedging transactions designed to hedge our forecasted revenue and expenses denominated in the U.K. pound sterling, the euro, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. These derivative contracts have maximum duration of 92 days and do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting. Such hedges may not be effective in mitigating this currency volatility. These hedges are designed to reduce the negative impact of a weaker U.K. pound sterling, euro, Canadian dollar and Australian dollar, however they also reduce the positive impact of a stronger U.K. pound sterling or the euro on the respective revenues.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

On February 6, 2018, we entered into a $450.0 million credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with a syndicated bank group jointly lead by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, which amends and restates our prior $300.0 million credit agreement (which we had originally entered into on February 25, 2016 (“Prior Credit Agreement”) to fund the Polaris acquisition and Mandatory Tender Offer) and provides for a $200.0 million

50


 

revolving credit facility, a $180.0 million term loan facility, and a $70.0 million delayed-draw term loan. Virtusa drew down $180.0 million under the term loan of the Credit Agreement and $55.0 million under the revolving credit facility under the Credit Agreement to repay in full the amount outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement and fund the Polaris delisting transaction. On March 12, 2018, we drew down the $70 million delayed draw to fund the eTouch acquisition. On August 14, 2018, we drew down $32 million from our credit facility to fund the Polaris delisting open offer. Interest under this new credit facility accrues at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus 3.0%, subject to step-downs based on the Company’s ratio of debt to EBITDA. We entered into interest rate swap agreements to minimize interest rate exposure. The Credit Agreement includes maximum debt to EBITDA and minimum fixed charge coverage covenants. The term of the Credit Agreement is five years, ending February 6, 2023. At December 31, 2018, the interest rates on the term loan and line of credit were 5.03% and 4.95% respectively. At December 31, 2018, the outstanding amount under the Credit Agreement was $327.6 million.

 

At December 31, 2018 we had $253.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments, the interest income from which is affected by changes in interest rates. Our invested securities primarily consist of government sponsored entity bonds, money market mutual funds, commercial paper, corporate debts and preference shares. Our investments in debt securities are classified as “available-for-sale” and are recorded at fair value. Our “available-for-sale” investments are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Interest rate changes would result in a change in the net fair value of these financial instruments due to the difference between the market interest rate at the period end and the market interest rate at the date of purchase of the financial instrument.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term investments, accounts receivable, derivative contracts, other financial assets and unbilled accounts receivable. We place our operating cash, investments and derivatives in highly-rated financial institutions. We adhere to a formal investment policy with the primary objective of preservation of principal, which contains minimum credit rating and diversification requirements. We believe that our credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business risk. We do not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties and, accordingly, do not require collateral. Credit losses and write-offs of accounts receivable balances have historically not been material to our financial statements and have not exceeded our expectations.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

At December 31, 2018, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) and internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a‑15(f) and 15d‑15(f) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level in (i) enabling us to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings within the required time period and (ii) ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that if determined adversely to us, we believe would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on May 25, 2018 (the “Annual Report”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

Under the terms of our 2007 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“2007 Plan”) and 2015 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”), we have issued shares of restricted stock to our employees. On the date that these restricted shares vest, we automatically withhold, via a net exercise provision pursuant to our applicable restricted stock agreements and the 2007 Plan and 2015 Plan, as the case may be, the number of vested shares (based on the closing price of our common stock on such vesting date) equal to tax liability owed by such grantee. The shares withheld from the grantees under the 2007 Plan or the 2015 Plan, as the case may be, to settle their tax liability are reallocated to the number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan. For the three months period ended December 31, 2018, we withheld an aggregate of 5,047 shares of restricted stock at a weighted average price of $44.77 per share.
