NUANCE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1 . Organization and Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nuance Communications, Inc. ("Nuance", "we", "our", or the "Company") and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We prepared the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the "U.S." or the "United States") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that, in our opinion, are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. 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 and classifications of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Although we believe the disclosures included herein are adequate to ensure that the condensed consolidated financial statements are fairly presented, certain information and footnote disclosures to the financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements and the footnotes included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 . The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year or any future period.
2 . Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606" ("ASC 606"), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP.  We adopted ASC 606 on October 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as opposed to retrospectively adjusting prior periods.
Results for reporting periods beginning after October 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting policies under "Revenue Recognition: Topic 605" ("ASC 605"). For contracts that were modified before the effective date, the Company aggregated the effect of all contract modifications prior to identifying performance obligations and allocating transaction price in accordance with the practical expedient ASC 606-10-65-1-(f)-4.
Upon adoption of ASC 606 on October 1, 2018, we recorded a decrease to Accumulated deficit of approximately $233 million as a result of the transition. The impact of the adoption primarily relates to the cumulative effect of (1) approximately $70 million decrease in Deferred revenue from the upfront recognition of term licenses and the general requirement to allocate the transaction price on a relative stand-alone selling price, (2) approximately $180 million increase in contract assets, (3) approximately $30 million decrease in Accounts receivable, (4) approximately $30 million increase in Deferred costs, and (5) approximately $20 million increase in Deferred tax liabilities related to the above items.

Statements of Cash Flows
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and the interim periods therein. We adopted this guidance on October 1, 2018 and applied it retrospectively. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Financial Instruments
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("ASU 2016-01"). ASU 2016-01 amends the guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. We adopted ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASC 842"). ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The standard requires the use of a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. ASC 842 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, and early application is permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU 2018-11, Leases Topic 842 Targeted Improvements, which provides an additional (and optional) transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. We intend to adopt the guidance as of October 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective approach and elect the package of practical expedients under the transition guidance.
We are currently evaluating the impact of ASC 842 and expect to recognize $110 million to $145 million of operating lease right-of-use assets and $130 million to $175 million operating lease obligations. We do not expect the adoption of the guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows.
Other Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract" ("ASU 2018-15"), which is effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The guidance requires that implementation costs related to a hosting arrangement that is a service contract be capitalized and amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement, starting when the module or component of the

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

hosting arrangement is ready for its intended use. The guidance will be applied retrospectively to each period presented. We do not expect the implementation to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, "Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The guidance gives entities the option to reclassify to retained earnings the tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") related to items in AOCI. The new guidance may be applied retrospectively to each period in which the effect of TCJA is recognized in the period of adoption. We do not expect the implementation to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
3 . Revenue Recognition
We derive revenue from the following sources: (1) hosting services, (2) software licenses, including royalties, (3) maintenance and support ("M&S"), (4) professional services, and (5) sale of hardware. Revenue is reported net of applicable sales and use tax, value-added tax and other transaction taxes imposed on the related transaction including mandatory government charges that are passed through to our customers. We account for a contract when both parties have approved and committed to the contract, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.
The majority of our arrangements with customers typically contain multiple products and services. We account for individual products and services separately if they are distinct--that is, if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the contract and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer.
We recognize revenue after applying the following five steps:
identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
identification of the performance obligations in the contract, including whether they are distinct within the context of the contract;
determination of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;
allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied.

We allocate the transaction price of the arrangement based on the relative estimated standalone selling price ("SSP") of each distinct performance obligation. In determining SSP, we maximize observable inputs and consider a number of data points, including:
the pricing of standalone sales (in the instances where available);
the pricing established by management when setting prices for deliverables that are intended to be sold on a standalone basis;
contractually stated prices for deliverables that are intended to be sold on a standalone basis; and
other pricing factors, such as the geographical region in which the products are sold and expected discounts based on the customer size and type.
We only include estimated amounts of variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. We reduce transaction prices for estimated returns and other allowances that represent variable consideration under ASC 606, which we estimate based on historical return experience and other relevant factors, and record a corresponding refund liability as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Other forms of contingent revenue or variable consideration are infrequent.
Revenue is recognized when control of these products and services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services.
We assess the timing of the transfer of products or services to the customer as compared to the timing of payments to determine whether a significant financing component exists. In accordance with the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-32-18, we do not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and transfer of deliverables is a year or less. If the difference in timing arises for reasons other than the provision of finance to either the customer or us, no financing component is deemed to exist. The primary purpose of our invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing our services, not to receive or provide financing from or to customers. We do not consider set-up fees nor other upfront fees paid by our customers to represent a financing component.

10


NUANCE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Certain products are sold through distributors or resellers. Certain distributors and resellers have been granted right of return and selling incentives which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to be recognized. Returns and credits are estimated at the contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. In accordance with the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-10-4, we apply a portfolio approach to estimate the variable consideration associated with this group of customers.
Reimbursements for out-of-pocket costs generally include, but are not limited to, costs related to transportation, lodging and meals. Revenue from reimbursed out-of-pocket costs is accounted for as variable consideration.
Shipping and handling activities are not considered a contract performance obligation. We record shipping and handling costs billed to customers as revenue with offsetting costs recorded as cost of revenue.
Performance Obligations
Hosting
Hosting services, which allow our customers to use the hosted software over the contract period without taking possession of the software, are provided on a usage basis as consumed or on a fixed fee subscription basis. Our hosting contract terms generally range from one to five years.
As each day of providing services is substantially the same and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as access is provided, we have determined that our hosting services arrangements are a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services. These services include variable consideration, which is typically a function of usage. We recognize revenue as each distinct service period is performed (i.e., recognized as incurred).
Subscription basis revenue represents a single promise to stand-ready to provide access to our hosting services. Revenue is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the hosting contract term, which generally ranges from one to five years.
Software Licenses
On-premise software licenses sold with non-distinct professional services to customize and/or integrate the underlying software are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. Revenue from the combined performance obligation is recognized over time based upon the progress towards completion of the project, which is measured based on the labor hours already incurred to date as compared to the total estimated labor hours.
Revenue from distinct on-premise software licenses, which do not require professional services to customize and/or integrate the software license, is recognized at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer and control is transferred.
Revenue from software license sold on a royalty basis, where the license of intellectual property is the predominant item to which the royalty relates, is recognized in the period the usage occurs in accordance with the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-65(A).
Maintenance and Support
Our M&S contracts generally include telephone support and the right to receive unspecified upgrades and updates on a when-and-if available basis. M&S revenue is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contract period because we transfer control evenly by providing a stand-ready service.
Professional Services
Revenue from distinct professional services, including training, is recognized over time based upon the progress towards completion of the project, which is measured based on the labor hours already incurred to date as compared to the total estimated labor hours.
Hardware
Hardware revenue is recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer, which is typically upon delivery.
Significant Judgments
Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Our license contracts often include professional services to customize and/or integrate the licenses into the customer’s environment. Judgment is required to determine whether the license is considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together with professional services.
Judgments are required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. When SSP is directly observable, we estimate SSP based upon the historical transaction prices, adjusted for geographic considerations, customer classes, and customer relationship profiles. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, we determine SSP using information that may include market conditions

11


NUANCE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

and other observable inputs. We may have more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers and circumstances. In these instances, we may use information such as the size of the customer and geographic region in determining SSP. Determining SSP for performance obligations which we never sell separately also requires significant judgment. In estimating the SSP, we consider the likely price that would have resulted from established pricing practices had the deliverable been offered separately and the prices a customer would likely be willing to pay.
From time to time, we may enter into arrangements with third party suppliers to resell products or services. In such cases, we evaluate whether we are the principal (i.e. report revenues on a gross basis) or agent (i.e. report revenues on a net basis). In doing so, we first evaluate whether we control the good or service before it is transferred to the customer. If we control the good or service before it is transferred to the customer, we are the principal; if not, we are the agent. Generally, we control a promised good or service before transferring that good or service to the customer and act as the principal to the transaction. Determining whether we control the good or service before it is transferred to the customer may require judgment.
Disaggregated Revenue
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by reportable segment and products and services as this presentation depicts the timing, risks and uncertainty of our revenue streams, which is also in line with how we manage our businesses, assess performance, and determine management compensation. Our disaggregated revenue from continuing operations is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Contract Acquisition Costs
In conjunction with the adoption of ASC 606, we are required to capitalize certain contract acquisition costs. The capitalized costs primarily relate to paid commissions and other direct, incremental costs to acquire customer contracts. In accordance with the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-10-4, we apply a portfolio approach to estimate contract acquisition costs for groups of customer contracts. We elect to apply the practical expedient in ASC 340-40-25-4 and will expense contract acquisition costs as incurred where the expected period of benefit is one year or less. Sales commissions paid on renewal maintenance and support are not commensurate with sales commissions paid on the initial maintenance and support contract. Contract acquisition costs are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of benefit, which we have estimated to be between one and five years. The period of benefit was determined based on an average customer contract term, expected contract renewals, changes in technology and our ability to retain customers including canceled contracts. Contract acquisition costs are classified as current or noncurrent assets based on when the expense will be recognized. The current and noncurrent portions of contract acquisition costs are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and Other assets, respectively. As of June 30, 2019 , we had $18.6 million of current contract acquisition costs and $28.7 million of noncurrent contract acquisition costs. Commission expense is primarily included

in Sales and marketing expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We had amortization expense of $4.3 million related to contract acquisition costs for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $11.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 . There was no impairment related to commission costs capitalized.
Capitalized Contract Costs
We capitalize incremental costs incurred to fulfill our contracts that (i) relate directly to the contract, (ii) are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy our performance obligation under the contract, and (iii) are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contract. Our capitalized costs consist primarily of setup costs, such as costs to standup, customize and develop applications for each customer, which are incurred to satisfy our stand-ready obligation to provide access to our connected offerings. These contract costs are expensed to cost of revenue as we satisfy our stand-ready obligation over the contract term which we estimate to be between one and five years. The contract term was determined based on an average customer contract term, expected contract renewals, changes in technology, and our ability to retain customers including canceled contracts. We classify capitalized contract costs as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the expense. The current and noncurrent portions of capitalized contract fulfillment costs are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and Other assets, respectively. At June 30, 2019 , we had $7.0 million of short-term contract costs included with Prepaid expenses and other current assets and $95.2 million of long-term costs included within Other assets.
Trade Accounts Receivable and Contract Balances
We classify our 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). We present such receivables in Accounts receivable, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets at their net estimated realizable value. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that may not be collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables and other applicable factors.
Our contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
Contract assets include unbilled amounts from long-term contracts when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not solely subject to the passage of time. The current and noncurrent portions of contract assets are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and Other assets. As of June 30, 2019 , we had $68.2 million of current contract assets and $102.9 million of noncurrent contract assets.

4 . Disposition of Businesses
Sale of Imaging
On November 7, 2018, our Board of Directors approved the divestiture of our Imaging business. On November 11, 2018, we entered into a sale agreement (the “Agreement") with Project Leopard AcquireCo Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (and an affiliate of Kofax, Inc.) (the “Buyer"), relating to the sale of our Imaging business for a total cash consideration of approximately $400.0 million , subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments as set forth in the Agreement. Pursuant to the Agreement, we sold and transferred, and Buyer purchased and acquired, (i) the shares of certain subsidiaries through which we operate a portion of our Imaging business and (ii) certain assets used in or related to the business; and the Buyer assumed certain liabilities related to such assets or the business, subject to certain exclusions and indemnities as set forth in the Agreement.
On February 1, 2019 , we completed the sale of our Imaging business and received approximately $404.0 million in cash, after estimated transaction expenses, and subject to post-closing finalization of the adjustments set forth in the Agreement. As a result, we recorded a gain of approximately $102.4 million , which is included within Net income from discontinued operations. There are a number of working capital and other adjustments under the Agreement and related ancillary agreements. We do not believe that post-closing working capital adjustments under the Agreement, if any, will have a material impact on our results of operations.
For all periods presented, Imaging's results of operations have been included within discontinued operations and its assets and liabilities within held for sale in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Spin-off of Automotive
On November 19, 2018, we announced our intent to spin off our Automotive business into an independent publicly traded company through a pro rata distribution to our common stock holders. Completion of the proposed spin-off is subject to certain conditions, including final approval by our Board of Directors. We intend to complete the separation of the business by the beginning of fiscal year 2020.
Other Dispositions
In connection with our efforts to wind down a portion of our SRS business, which provides value-added services to mobile operators in India and Brazil ("Mobile Operator Services"), in May 2019, we completed the sale of our Mobile Operator Services business in Brazil, and in July 2019, we completed the sale of our Mobile Operator Services business in India. The sale prices and any gain or loss was immaterial.
5. Business Acquisitions
We continue to expand our solutions and integrate our technologies in new offerings through acquisitions. A summary of our acquisition activities is as follows:
Fiscal Year 2018
For the nine months ended June 30, 2018 , we completed several acquisitions in our Healthcare and Automotive segment for total cash consideration of $113.1 million and contingent payments with a fair value of $2.0 million and effective settlement of the preexisting relationship with the acquiree of $12.9 million. As a result, we recognized goodwill of $65.1 million and other intangible assets of $60.8 million , with a weighted average life of 6.0 years . Such acquisitions were not significant individually or in aggregate to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.
Acquisition-Related Costs, net
Acquisition-related costs include costs related to business and asset acquisitions. These costs consist of (i) transition and integration costs, including retention payments, transitional employee costs and earn-out payments, and other costs related to integration activities; (ii) professional service fees, including financial advisory, legal, accounting, and other outside services incurred in connection with acquisition activities, and disputes and regulatory matters related to acquired entities; and (iii) fair value adjustments to acquisition-related contingencies.

Fiscal Year 2018 Interim Impairment Analysis
Effective the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, our Automotive business, which was previously included within our Mobile segment, became a standalone operating segment. As a result of the reorganization, the original Mobile reporting unit was separated into three discrete lines of business comprised of Automotive, Dragon TV, and Devices. Dragon TV was merged within our Enterprise segment, and Devices was included within Other segment. We assigned $1,080.5 million , $12.0 million , and $36.0 million of Goodwill to Automotive, Dragon TV and Devices, respectively, based on their relative fair values as of March 31, 2018 , and assessed the assigned Goodwill for impairment by comparing each component’s fair value to its carrying amount. As a result, we recorded a Goodwill impairment charge of $35.1 million related to Devices for the second quarter of fiscal 2018.
Also during the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, our Subscriber Revenue Services ("SRS") reporting unit, originally included within our Mobile operating segment, recorded significantly lower revenue and profitability due to recent market disruptions in certain markets that we serve. We concluded that these financial results coupled with the rapid market shifts being experienced in the industry were factors that represented impairment indicators, triggering a review of Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment during the second quarter of fiscal year 2018. Based on the result of the impairment assessment, the carrying value of SRS exceeded its fair value by $94.3 million . In addition, we recorded an $8.5 million deferred tax benefit related to SRS’s Goodwill, which is amortized over time for tax purposes, and therefore increased the impairment charge by the same amount. As a result, we recorded a Goodwill impairment charge of $102.8 million related to SRS for the second quarter of fiscal year 2018. After the impairment charge, Goodwill assigned to SRS was $17.8 million as of March 31, 2018. The assessment did not result in any impairment charge of Other intangible assets.
Wind-down of Devices and Mobile Operator Services and Annual Goodwill Impairment Analysis
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, in connection with our strategic business review announced in our earnings release issued on May 9, 2018, we restructured our SRS business by separating the voicemail transcription services business ("Voice-to-Text"), which will continue to operate as part of the Other Segment, and commenced a wind-down of our SRS Mobile Operator Services in India and Brazil, and our Devices businesses. The SRS business provides value-added services to mobile operators in India and Brazil ("Mobile Operator Services"). As a result, we revised our multi-year operating plans of Mobile Operator Services and Devices businesses, as part of our fiscal year 2019 budgeting process, to reflect a significant decline in revenue and operating income. The wind-down decision has resulted in significantly lower estimated future cash flows over a considerably shorter time horizon, which triggered a review of Goodwill and long-lived asset groups for impairment.
As a result of the impairment review, we recorded an additional $15.0 million impairment charge for Devices for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, including $7.6 million related to acquired trade names and customer relationships, $0.8 million related to acquired technology assets, $6.2 million related to fixed assets, and $0.4 million related to its remaining goodwill; we also recorded $25.1 million impairment charge for our Mobile Operator Services business for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, including $12.9 million related to acquired trade names and customer relationships, $7.9 million related to acquired technology assets, $0.9 million related to fixed assets, and $3.4 million related to Goodwill.

7 . Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
Forward Currency Contracts
We utilize foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Generally, we enter into such contracts for less than 90  days and have no cash requirements until maturity. At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , we had outstanding contracts with a total notional value of $153.3 million and $117.1 million , respectively.
We did not designate any forward contracts as hedging instruments for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018 . Therefore, changes in fair value of foreign currency forward contracts were recognized within Other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The cash flows related to the settlement of forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments are included in cash flows from investing activities within our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

8 . Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.
The determination of the applicable level within the hierarchy of a particular financial asset or liability depends on the lowest level of inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement as of the measurement date as follows:
Level 1:  Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2:  Observable inputs other than those described as Level 1.
Level 3:  Unobservable inputs that are supportable by little or no market activities and are based on significant assumptions and estimates.

Money market funds are included within cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets and are valued at quoted market prices in active markets.
(b)  
Time deposits, commercial paper, corporate notes and bonds, and foreign currency exchange contracts are recorded at fair market values, which are determined based on the most recent observable inputs for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or are directly or indirectly observable. Time deposits are generally for terms of one year or less. Commercial paper and Corporate notes and bonds generally mature within three years and had a weighted average maturity of 0.50 years as of June 30, 2019 and 0.61 years as of September 30, 2018 .
(c)  
The fair values of our contingent consideration arrangements were determined using either the option pricing model with Monte Carlo simulation or the probability-weighted discounted cash flow method.

The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was approximately $2,112.7 million (face value $2,137.0 million ) as of June 30, 2019 and $2,423.6 million (face value $2,437.0 million ) as of September 30, 2018 based on Level 2 measurements. The fair value of each borrowing was estimated using the average of the bid and ask trading quotes at each respective reporting date. There was no balance outstanding under our revolving credit agreement as of June 30, 2019 or September 30, 2018 .

Pursuant to the terms of each convertible instrument, holders have the right to redeem the debt on specific dates prior to maturity. The repayment schedule above assumes that payment is due on the next redemption date after June 30, 2019 .
5.625% Senior Notes due 2026
In December 2016 , we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due on December 15, 2026 (the "2026 Senior Notes") in a private placement. The proceeds from the 2026 Senior Notes were approximately $495.0 million , net of issuance costs, and we used the proceeds to repurchase a portion of our 2020 Senior Notes. The 2026 Senior Notes bear interest at 5.625% per year, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears, beginning on June 15, 2017.
The 2026 Senior Notes are unsecured senior obligations and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by certain of our domestic subsidiaries ("Subsidiary Guarantors"). The 2026 Senior Notes and the guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of our and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt and rank senior in right of payment to all of our and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ future unsecured subordinated debt. The 2026 Senior Notes and guarantees effectively rank junior to all

our secured debt and that of the Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt and to all liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries that have not guaranteed the 2026 Senior Notes.
At any time before December 15, 2021 , we may redeem all or a portion of the 2026 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus a "make-whole" premium and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time on or after December 15, 2021 , we may redeem all or a portion of the 2026 Senior Notes at certain redemption prices expressed as percentages of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
5.375% Senior Notes due 2020
In August 2012, we issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due on August 15, 2020 in a private placement. In October 2012, we issued an additional $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.375% Senior Notes (collectively the "2020 Senior Notes"). The 2020 Senior Notes bear interest at 5.375% per year, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears. The 2020 Senior Notes are our unsecured senior obligations and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by certain of our domestic subsidiaries, ("the Subsidiary Guarantors"). The 2020 Senior Notes and guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of our and the Subsidiary Guarantors' existing and future unsecured senior debt and rank senior in right of payment to all of our and the Subsidiary Guarantors' future unsecured subordinated debt. The 2020 Senior Notes and guarantees effectively rank junior to all secured debt of our and the Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt and to all liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries that have not guaranteed the 2020 Senior Notes.
In January 2017, we repurchased $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Senior Notes using cash and cash equivalents and the net proceeds from our 2026 Senior Notes issued in December 2016. In January 2017, we recorded an extinguishment loss of $18.6 million . In accordance with the authoritative guidance for debt instruments, a loss on extinguishment is equal to the difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt, including any unamortized debt discount or issuance costs. Following this activity, $450.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Senior Notes remained outstanding.
In September 2018 , we repurchased $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Senior Notes at par. As a result, we wrote off the related unamortized deferred issuance costs related to the repayment and recorded an extinguishment loss of $0.3 million in fiscal year 2018. Following this activity, $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Senior Notes remained outstanding.
In March 2019, we repurchased the remaining $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Senior Notes at par using the proceeds from the sale of our Imaging business. As a result, we wrote off the remaining unamortized deferred issuance costs related to the repayment and recorded an extinguishment loss of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Following this activity, we have fully repaid our 2020 Senior Notes and no amount remained outstanding.
6.000% Senior Notes due 2024
In June 2016 , we issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% Senior Notes due on July 1, 2024 (the "2024 Senior Notes") in a private placement. The proceeds from the 2024 Senior Notes were approximately $297.5 million , net of issuance costs. The 2024 Senior Notes bear interest at 6.0% per year, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears.
The 2024 Senior Notes are unsecured senior obligations and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by our Subsidiary Guarantors. The 2024 Senior Notes and the guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of our and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt, and rank senior in right of payment to all of our and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ future unsecured subordinated debt. The 2024 Senior Notes and guarantees effectively rank junior to all our secured debt and that of the Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt and to all liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries that have not guaranteed the 2024 Senior Notes.
At any time before July 1, 2019, we may redeem all or a portion of the 2024 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus a "make-whole" premium and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time on or after July 1, 2019, we may redeem all or a portion of the 2024 Senior Notes at certain redemption prices expressed as percentages of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The 1.0% 2035 Debentures mature on December 15, 2035 , subject to the right of the holders to require us to redeem the 1.0% 2035 Debentures on December 15, 2022, 2027, or 2032 .

The 1.0% 2035 Debentures will be effectively subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. The initial conversion price is approximately $27.22 per share. At issuance, we allocated $495.4 million to long-term debt, and $181.1 million has been recorded as additional paid-in capital, which is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method through December 2022 . If we distribute to all holders of our common stock a per share dividend exceeding 10% of the closing sale price of our common stock on the trading day preceding the declaration date for such distribution (e.g. a spin-off), the holders will have the right to convert all or any portion of their debentures at the conversion ratio of 36.7360 shares per $1,000 principal amount, multiplied by the then current stock price. As of June 30, 2019 , none of the conversion criteria were met for the 1.0% 2035 Debentures. If the conversion criteria were met, we could be required to repay all or some of the aggregate principal amount in cash prior to the maturity date.

The 2.75% 2031 Debentures bear interest at 2.75%  per year, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears.

The 2.75% 2031 Debentures will be effectively subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. The initial conversion price is approximately $32.30 per share. At issuance, we allocated $533.6 million to Long-term debt, and $156.4 million has been recorded as Additional paid-in capital, which is being amortized to Interest expense using the effective interest rate method through November 2017 .
In June 2015, we entered into separate privately negotiated agreements with certain holders of our 2031 Debentures to exchange, in a private placement, $256.2 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2031 Debentures for approximately $263.9 million in aggregate principal amount of our 1.5% 2035 Debentures.

In November 2017, holders of approximately $331.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2031 Debentures exercised their right to require us to repurchase such debentures. Following the repurchase, $46.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2.75% 2031 Debentures remains outstanding. On or after November 6, 2017, we have the right to call for redemption of some or all of the remaining outstanding 2031 Debentures.
If we distribute to all holders of our common stock a per share dividend exceeding 10% of the closing sale price of our common stock on the trading day preceding the declaration date for such distribution (e.g. a spin-off), the holders will have the right to convert all or any portion of their debentures at the conversion ratio of 30.9610 shares per $1,000 principal amount, multiplied by the then current stock price.

On April 29, 2013 , our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to $500.0 million , which was increased by $500.0 million on April 29, 2015. On August 1, 2018 , our Board of Directors approved an additional $500.0 million under our share repurchase program. Under the terms of the share repurchase program, we have the ability to repurchase shares through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated stock repurchase transactions, or any combination of such methods. The share repurchase program does not require us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by us at any time without prior notice. The timing and the amount of any purchases will be determined by management based on an evaluation of market conditions, capital allocation alternatives, and other factors.
We repurchased 1.7 million shares of our common stock for $29.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 7.8 million shares of our common stock for $120.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 . For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 , we repurchased 8.1 million shares of our common stock for $112.0 million under the program. Since the commencement of the program, we have repurchased an aggregate of 63.9 million shares for $1,063.6 million . The amount paid in excess of par value is recognized in Additional paid in capital. Shares were retired upon repurchase. As of June 30, 2019 , approximately $436.4 million remained available for future repurchases under the program.

14 . Stock-Based Compensation
On January 17, 2019, our shareholders approved amendments to the Company’s amended and restated 2000 Stock Plan (the "Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Plan"). The Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Plan (i) increases the number of shares issuable from 82,250,000 to 83,500,000 shares; (ii) permits the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board") to make proportional adjustments to outstanding awards affected by a change in the Company’s capital structure, and in addition to or in lieu of such adjustments, to permit the Board to pay dividends, dividend equivalents, or similar rights in conjunction to any such changes in the Company’s capital structure; and (iii) contains certain updates to reflect changes in law relating to Section 162(m).
As of June 30, 2019 , we had 8.5 million shares available for future grants under the Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Plan. We recognize stock-based compensation expenses over the requisite service periods. Our share-based awards are classified within equity. The amounts included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations related to stock-based compensation are as follows (dollars in thousands):

The effective tax rates were estimated based upon estimated income for the year, the composition of the income in different countries, changes relating to valuation allowances for certain countries if and as necessary, and adjustments, if any, for the potential tax consequences, benefits or resolutions of audits or other tax contingencies. Our aggregate statutory income tax rate in foreign jurisdictions is lower than our statutory income tax rate in the United States; the majority of our income before provision for income taxes from foreign operations has been earned by subsidiaries in Ireland. Our effective tax rate may be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where we have lower statutory tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries where we have higher statutory tax rates.

Our effective income tax rate was 45.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , compared to (85.6)% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 . The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rates of 21.0% and 24.53% , respectively, primarily due to the valuation allowance related to losses in the United States.

Our effective income tax rate was 55.7% for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 , compared to 32.4% for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 . The effective tax rates for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rates of 21.0% and 24.53% , respectively, primarily due to the valuation allowance related to losses in the United States. Additionally, for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 , we recognized approximately $87.0 million of deferred tax benefit from the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities offset by approximately $2.0 million estimated tax provision for deemed repatriated foreign earnings as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") enacted in December 2017.

In July 2019, we completed an intra-entity transfer from Bermuda to Europe of certain intangible property ("IP") rights associated with certain technology portfolios. This transfer is expected to result in a deferred income tax benefit for local tax purposes. We are still evaluating the analysis, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019.

16 . Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Other Claims
Similar to many companies in the software industry, we are involved in a variety of claims, demands, suits, investigations and proceedings that arise from time to time relating to matters incidental to the ordinary course of our business, including at times actions with respect to contracts, intellectual property, employment, benefits and securities matters. At each balance sheet date we evaluate contingent liabilities associated with these matters in accordance with ASC 450 "Contingencies." If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss. Significant judgments are required for the determination of probability and the range of the outcomes, and estimates are based only on the best information available at the time. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in claims and legal proceedings and in estimating losses that may arise, actual outcomes may differ from our estimates. Contingencies deemed not probable or for which losses were not estimable in one period may become probable, or losses may become estimable in later

periods, which may have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position. As of June 30, 2019 , accrued losses were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements, and we do not expect any pending matter to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Guarantees and Other
We include indemnification provisions in the contracts we enter into with customers and business partners. Generally, these provisions require us to defend claims arising out of our products’ infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, breach of contractual obligations and/or unlawful or otherwise culpable conduct. The indemnity obligations generally cover damages, costs and attorneys’ fees arising out of such claims. In most, but not all cases, our total liability under such provisions is limited to either the value of the contract or a specified, agreed upon amount. In some cases, our total liability under such provisions is unlimited. In many, but not all cases, the term of the indemnity provision is perpetual. While the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under all the indemnification provisions is unlimited, we believe the estimated fair value of these provisions is minimal due to the low frequency with which these provisions have been triggered.
We indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, which provides among other things, indemnification to directors and officers for expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and settlement amounts incurred by such persons in their capacity as a director or officer of the company, regardless of whether the individual is serving in any such capacity at the time the liability or expense is incurred. Additionally, in connection with certain acquisitions, we agreed to indemnify the former officers and members of the boards of directors of those companies, on similar terms as described above, for a period of six years from the acquisition date. In certain cases, we purchase director and officer insurance policies related to these obligations, which fully cover the six -year period. To the extent that we do not purchase a director and officer insurance policy for the full period of any contractual indemnification, and such directors and officers do not have coverage under separate insurance policies, we would be required to pay for costs incurred, if any, as described above.
17 . Related Party Transaction
In January 2018, we entered into a software and license agreement (the "License Agreement") with Magnet Systems, Inc. ("Magnet"). A member of the Magnet board of directors also served on our Board of Directors at the time of the transaction. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Magnet granted Nuance a perpetual software license to certain technology for a one-time payment of $5.0 million in cash, with $3.5 million paid immediately upon the effective date of the License Agreement and $1.5 million payable upon the earlier of (i) the 120-day period following the effective date of the License Agreement or (ii) signature of a statement of work for the engineering services described below. The amount for license was fully paid in fiscal year 2018.
Additionally, we entered into a service agreement (the "Service Agreement") with Magnet, pursuant to which, Magnet would provide engineering services to assist in integrating the licensed technology into certain of our Enterprise solutions. The fees under the Service Agreement total $2.0 million , payable in six equal monthly installments upon the signature of the statement of work, which was finalized within 90 days following the effective date of the License Agreement. We incurred $2.0 million service costs by the time the integration service was completed on March 31, 2019.
18 . Segment and Geographic Information
Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") regularly reviews segment revenues and segment profits for performance evaluation and resources allocation. Segment revenues include certain acquisition-related adjustments for revenues that would otherwise have been recognized without the acquisition. Segment profits reflect controllable costs directly related to each segment and the allocation of certain corporate expenses such as, corporate sales and marketing expenses and research and development project costs that benefit multiple segments. Certain items such as stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related costs, net, restructuring and other charges, net, other expenses, net and certain unallocated corporate expenses are excluded from segment profits, which allow for more meaningful comparisons to the financial results of the historical operations for performance evaluation and resources allocation by our CODM.
The Healthcare segment is primarily engaged in providing clinical speech and clinical language understanding solutions that improve the clinical documentation process, from capturing the complete patient record to improving clinical documentation and quality measures for reimbursement.
The Enterprise segment is primarily engaged in using speech, natural language understanding, and artificial intelligence to provide automated customer solutions and services for voice, mobile, web and messaging channels.
The Automotive segment is primarily engaged in providing automotive manufacturers and their suppliers branded and personalized virtual assistants and connected car services built on our voice recognition and natural language understanding

technologies. As more fully disclosed in Note 4 , on November 19, 2018, we announced our intent to spin off our Automotive business into an independent publicly-traded company through a pro rata distribution to our common stock holders. Completion of the proposed spin-off is subject to certain conditions, including final approval by our Board of Directors. We expect to complete the spin-off by the beginning of fiscal year 2020.
The Other segment includes our SRS business and our Devices business. Our SRS business provides value-added services to mobile operators in India and Brazil ("Mobile Operator Services") and voicemail transcription services to mobile operators in the rest of the world ("Voicemail-to-Text"). Our Devices business provides speech recognition solutions and predictive text technologies to handset devices. Our Devices revenue has been declining due to the ongoing consolidation of our handset manufacturer customer base and continued erosion of our penetration of the remaining market. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, in connection with our comprehensive portfolio and business review efforts, we commenced a wind-down of our Devices and Mobile Operator Services businesses. In May 2019, we completed the sale of our Mobile Operator Services business in Brazil, and July 2019, we completed the sale of our Mobile Operator Services business in India. The sale prices and any gain or loss was immaterial.
As more fully described in Note 4, effective the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the results of our Imaging segment, previously a reportable segment, have been included within discontinued operations due to the completion of the sale of Imaging on February 1, 2019. As a result, effective the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, we changed our corporate overhead allocation methodology to re-allocate the stranded costs related to our Imaging business to the remaining operating segments included within continuing operations. Our segment presentation for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 has been restated to reflect the re-allocation of stranded costs. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, $1.9 million and $2.1 million of stranded costs have been included within total segment profits and re-allocated to Healthcare, Enterprise, Automotive, and Other; for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, $3.7 million and $5.9 million of stranded costs have been included within total segment profits and re-allocated to Healthcare, Enterprise, Automotive, and Other.
We do not track our assets by segment. Consequently, it is not practical to show assets or depreciation by segment. The following table presents segment results along with a reconciliation of segment profit to Income (loss) before income taxes (dollars in thousands):

OVERVIEW
Business Overview
We are a pioneer and leader in conversational and cognitive artificial intelligence ("AI") innovations that bring intelligence to everyday work and life. Our solutions and technologies can understand, analyze and respond to human language to increase productivity and amplify human intelligence. Our solutions are used by businesses in the healthcare, automotive, financial services, telecommunication and travel industries, among others. We are seeing several trends in our markets, including (i) the growing adoption of cloud-based, connected services, (ii) deeper integration of virtual assistant capabilities and services, and (iii) the continued expansion of our core technology portfolio including automated speech recognition ("ASR"), natural language understanding ("NLU"), semantic processing, domain-specific reasoning, dialog management capabilities, AI, and biometric speaker authentication. We report our business in four segments, Healthcare, Enterprise, Automotive, and Other.
Business Trends
Healthcare. Customers in our healthcare segment are broadly implementing electronic health record ("EHR") systems and are working to improve clinical documentation, improve quality of care, minimize physician burnout, integrate quality measures and aid reimbursement. These trends are driving a shift towards more integrated solutions that combine both Dragon Medical cloud-based solutions and transcription services. Recently, higher demand for more integrated solutions have offset declines in legacy, hosted transcription services. Additionally, we have been able to capitalize on healthcare providers’ shift towards hosted, or cloud-based solutions, and away from perpetual licenses, by adding new innovations to our Dragon Medical cloud

32


solutions including new clinical language understanding and AI capabilities designed to increase productivity and improve clinical documentation at the point of care and within existing electronic medical work flow.
Enterprise. Consumer demand for 24/7, multi-channel access to customer service from the businesses they interact with is driving demand for our AI-powered omni-channel engagement solutions. We continue to enhance our technology capabilities with intelligent self-service and artificial intelligence for customer service, and to extend the market for our on-demand omni-channel enterprise solutions into international markets, expand our sales and solutions for biometrics, and expand our core products and services portfolio.
Automotive. Demand for our embedded and cloud-based automotive solutions is being driven by the growth in personalized, automotive virtual assistants and connected services for cars and by auto manufacturers' desire to create a branded and personalized experience, capable of intelligently integrating users' smart phone and home device preferences and technologies.

On November 19, 2018, we announced our intent to spin off our Automotive business into an independent publicly-traded company through a pro rata distribution to our common stock holders. Completion of the proposed spin-off is subject to certain conditions, including final approval by our Board of Directors. We intend to complete the separation of the business by the beginning of fiscal year 2020.
Other . The Other segment includes our SRS business and our Devices business. Our SRS business provides value-added services to mobile operators in India and Brazil ("Mobile Operator Services") and voicemail transcription services to mobile operators in the rest of the world ("Voicemail-to-Text"). Our Devices business provides speech recognition solutions and predictive text technologies for handset devices. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, in connection with our comprehensive portfolio and business review efforts, we commenced a wind-down of our Devices and Mobile Operator Services businesses. In May 2019, we completed the sale of our Mobile Operator Services business in Brazil, and in July 2019, we completed the sale of our Mobile Operator Services business in India. The sale prices and any gain or loss was immaterial.
Discontinued Operations. On November 11, 2018, we entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to sell our Imaging business and associated assets for a total cash consideration of approximately $400.0 million . On February 1, 2019 , we completed the sale of the Imaging business and the proceeds received at closing was $404.0 million , net of related fees and expenses, and subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments. Effective the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, Imaging's results of operations have been included within discontinued operations and its assets and liabilities within held for sale on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Key Metrics
Effective the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, we implemented ASC 606 using the modified retrospective approach, which requires the results for the current reporting periods be presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting policies in accordance with ASC 605, with a cumulative adjustment recorded to accumulated deficit.
A summary of key financial metrics for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2018 , is as follows:
Total revenues under ASC 606 was $1,352.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to $1,362.9 million under ASC 605 for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 ;
Net income from continuing operations under ASC 606 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 was $6.2 million , compared to a net loss of $140.4 million under ASC 605 the nine months ended June 30, 2018 ;
Gross margins under ASC 606 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 was 56.7% , compared to 54.0% under ASC 605 for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 ;
Operating margins under ASC 606 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 was 6.9% , compared to (8.0)% under ASC 605 for nine months ended June 30, 2018 ; and
Operating cash flows from continuing operations increased by $35.4 million to $292.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 , compared to $257.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2018
As of June 30, 2019 , as compared to September 30, 2018 :
Total deferred revenue decreased by 6% to $721.5 million as of June 30, 2019 from $765.0 million as of September 30, 2018 . Deferred revenue decreased by approximately $43.5 million , primarily as a result of the ASC 606 implementation, offset in part by the continued growth of our Automotive connected solutions and Healthcare bundled offerings.

The decrease in interest expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the repurchase of $150.0 million of outstanding 5.375% Senior Notes due 2020 in September 2018 and the redemption of the $331.2 million outstanding 2.750% convertible debentures in November 2017. Additionally, in March 2019, we redeemed $300.0 million of our 5.375% Senior Notes due 2020 with the net proceeds from the sale of Imaging.

Our effective income tax rate was 45.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , compared to (85.6)% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 . The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rates of 21.0% and 24.53% , respectively, primarily due to the valuation allowance related to losses in the United States.

Our effective income tax rate was 55.7% for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 , compared to 32.4% for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 . The effective tax rates for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rates of 21.0% and 24.53% , respectively, primarily due to the valuation allowance related to losses in the United States. Additionally, for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 , we recognized approximately $87.0 million of deferred tax benefit from the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities offset by approximately $2.0 million estimated tax provision for deemed repatriated foreign earnings as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") enacted in December 2017.

In July 2019, we completed an intra-entity transfer from Bermuda to Europe of certain intangible property ("IP") rights associated with certain technology portfolios. This transfer is expected to result in a deferred income tax benefit for local tax purposes. We are still evaluating the analysis, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019.
Net Income from Discontinued Operations

As more fully described in Note 4 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, on November 11, 2018, we entered into a definitive stock purchase agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to sell our Imaging business and associated assets for a total cash consideration of approximately $400.0 million. The transaction closed on February 1, 2019. Effective the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, we present Imaging's results of operations within discontinued operations.

SEGMENT ANALYSIS
As more fully described in Note 4, effective the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the results of our Imaging segment, previously a reportable segment, have been included within discontinued operations due to the completion of the sale on February 1, 2019. As a result, effective the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, we changed our corporate overhead allocation methodology to re-allocate the stranded costs related to our Imaging business to the remaining operating segments included within continuing operations. Our segment presentation for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 has been restated to reflect the re-allocation of stranded costs. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, $1.9 million and $2.1 million of stranded costs have been included within total segment profits and re-allocated to Healthcare, Enterprise, Automotive, and Other; for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, $3.7 million and $5.9 million of stranded costs have been included within total segment profits and re-allocated to Healthcare, Enterprise, Automotive, and Other.

Segment Profit
Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018
Healthcare segment profit for the three months ended June 30, 2019 reflected the upfront recognition of term license revenue and related costs for Clintegrity, Dragon Medical, and Diagnostic solutions under ASC 606. Under ASC 605, Healthcare segment profit increased by $7.1 million , or 9.2% , primarily due to higher segment revenue and higher gross margin. The gross margin increase was primarily due to a favorable shift in mix to higher margin Dragon Medical cloud-based solution from lower margin medical transcription services, and lower revenue from EHR implementation and optimization services which carried lower margins. As a result, segment profit margin under ASC 605 improved by 2.5 percentage points to 34.8% .
Enterprise segment profit for the three months ended June 30, 2019 reflected the allocation of contract consideration to multiple performance obligations based on standalone selling prices and the up-front recognition of term license revenue and related costs under ASC 606. Under ASC 605, Enterprise segment profit increased by $5.8 million , or 17.7% , primarily due to higher segment revenue and lower sales and marketing expenses, offset in part by lower gross margin. Gross margin decline was primarily due to lower licensing revenue, which carries higher margins. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to lower compensation expenses. As a result, segment profit margin under ASC 605 increased by 2.5 percentage points to 29.7% .
Automotive segment profit for the three months ended June 30, 2019 reflected the allocation of contract consideration to multiple performance obligations based on standalone selling prices and the upfront recognition of term license costs under ASC 606.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2019 compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2018
Healthcare segment profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 reflected the upfront recognition of term license revenue and related costs for Clintegrity, Dragon Medical, and Diagnostic solutions under ASC 606. Under ASC 605, Healthcare segment profit increased by $25.4 million , or 10.7% , primarily due to higher gross margin. The gross margin improvement was primarily due to a favorable shift in mix to higher margin Dragon Medical cloud-based solution from lower margin medical transcription services, and lower revenue from EHR implementation and optimization services which carried lower margins. As a result, segment profit margin under ASC 605 improved by 4.5 percentage points to 36.7% .
Enterprise segment profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 reflected the allocation of contract consideration to multiple performance obligations based on standalone selling prices and the up-front recognition of term license revenue and related costs under ASC 606. Under ASC 605, Enterprise segment profit increased by $19.2 million , or 20.2% , primarily due to higher segment revenue and lower sales and marketing expense, offset in part by lower gross margin. Gross margin decline was primarily due to lower licensing revenue, which carries higher margins. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to lower compensation expenses. As a result, segment profit margin under ASC 605 increased by 3.0 percentage points to 29.9% .
Automotive segment profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 reflected the allocation of contract consideration to multiple performance obligations based on standalone selling prices and the upfront recognition of term license costs under ASC 606. Under ASC 605, Automotive segment profit increased by $2.6 million , or 3.2% , primarily due to higher revenue, offset in part by lower gross margin, and higher operating expenses. Lower gross margin was primarily driven by the continued pricing shift from up-front professional services to per unit license and hosting revenue. Higher operating expenses was primarily driven by higher sales commission expense and our continued investment in R&D. As a result, segment profit margin under ASC 605 decreased by 3.0 percentage points to 36.1% .

47


Other segment profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 reflected the allocation of contract consideration to multiple performance obligations based on standalone selling prices and the upfront recognition of term license costs under ASC 606. Under ASC 605, Other segment profit increased by $2.9 million , or 23.8% , primarily driven by our costs saving initiatives related to the wind-down of our Devices and Mobile Operator Services businesses, offset in part by lower segment revenue.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
We had Cash and cash equivalents and Marketable securities of $686.2 million as of June 30, 2019 , an increase of $212.7 million from $473.5 million as of September 30, 2018 . Our working capital of continuing operations, defined as total current assets of continuing operations, less total current liabilities of continuing operations, was $512.8 million as of June 30, 2019 , compared to $199.1 million as of September 30, 2018 . The increase in our working capital was primarily due the proceeds from the sale of Imaging and the adoption of ASC 606. As of June 30, 2019 , we had $236.7 million available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity are sufficient to support our operating needs, capital requirements and any debt service requirements for the next twelve months.
Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities held by our international operations totaled $200.7 million as of June 30, 2019 and $112.8 million as of September 30, 2018 . We utilize a variety of financing strategies to ensure that our worldwide cash is available to meet our liquidity needs. We expect the cash held overseas to be permanently invested in our international operations, and our U.S. operation to be funded through its own operating cash flows, cash and marketable securities within the U.S., and if necessary, borrowing under our revolving credit facility.

Disposition of Businesses and Corporate Transformation Program.
On February 1, 2019 , we completed the sale of our Imaging business and received approximately $404.0 million in cash, after estimated transaction expenses, and subject to post-closing finalization of the adjustments set forth in the Agreement. As a result, we recorded a gain of $102.4 million , which is included within Net income from discontinued operations. There are a number of working capital and other adjustments under the Agreement and related ancillary agreements. We do not believe that post-closing working capital adjustments under the Agreement, if any, would have a material impact on our results of operations. In March 2019, we redeemed $300.0 million of our 5.375% Senior Notes due 2020 with the net proceeds from the sale.
Additionally, on November 19, 2018, we announced our intent to spin off our Automotive business into an independent publicly-traded company through a pro rata distribution to our common stock holders. Completion of the proposed spin-off is subject to certain conditions, including final approval by our Board of Directors. We intend to complete the separation of the business by the beginning of fiscal year 2020.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2019 , we incurred cash payments of approximately $59.0 million in connection with our corporate transformation program and $25.0 million to effect the separation of our Imaging business and separation and stand-up of our Automotive business. For the remainder of fiscal year 2019, we expect to spend $5.0 million to $15.0 million related to our corporate transformation program and $15.0 million to $25.0 million related to the separation and stand-up of our Automotive business.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 was $297.2 million , an increase of $2.2 million from $295.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 . The increase was primarily due to:
An increase of $55.8 million due to higher income before non-cash charges;
An increase of $33.4 million due to favorable changes in working capital, primarily due to the timing of cash collections and cash payments, offset in part by
A decrease of $53.8 million from changes in deferred revenue. Deferred revenue had a positive effect of $38.3 million on operating cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 , as compared to $92.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 , primarily due to the ASC 606 implementation using the modified retrospective approach in the current period; and
A decrease of $33.2 million from operating cash flows from discontinued operations.

48


Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 was $378.3 million , an increase of $425.4 million from $47.2 million used for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 . The increase was primarily due to:
Net proceeds of $407.0 million from the dispositions of businesses, net of transaction fees;
A decrease of $106.1 million in payments for business and asset acquisitions;
A decrease of $6.7 million in capital expenditures; offset in part by
A decrease of $94.5 million in net proceeds from the sale and purchase of marketable securities and other investments.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 was $456.3 million , a decrease of $51.2 million from $507.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 . The increase was primarily due to:
A decrease of $31.2 million in repayment and redemption of debt;
A decrease of $20.8 million related to acquisition payments with extended payment terms;
A decrease of $9.3 million related to payments for taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards; offset in part by,
An increase of $9.0 million for share repurchases.

Debt
For a detailed description of the terms and restrictions of the debt and revolving credit facility, see Note 11 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Share Repurchase Program
On April 29, 2013 , our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to $500.0 million , which was increased by $500.0 million on April 29, 2015. On August 1, 2018 , our Board of Directors approved additional $500.0 million under our share repurchase program. Under the terms of the share repurchase program, we have the ability to repurchase shares through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated stock repurchase transactions, or any combination of such methods. The share repurchase program does not require us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by us at any time without prior notice. The timing and the amount of any purchases will be determined by management based on an evaluation of market conditions, capital allocation alternatives, and other factors.
We repurchased 1.7 million shares of our common stock for $29.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 , and 7.8 million shares of our common stock for $120.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 .

(1)  
Pursuant to the terms of each convertible instrument, holders have the right to redeem the debt on specific dates prior to maturity. The repayment schedule above assumes that payment is due on the next redemption date after June 30, 2019 .
(2)  
Interest per annum is due and payable semi-annually and is determined based on the outstanding principal as of June 30, 2019 , the stated interest rate of each debt instrument and the assumed redemption dates discussed above.
(3)  
Letters of credit are in place primarily to secure future operating lease payments.
(4)  
Obligations include contractual lease commitments related to facilities that were part of restructuring plans. As of June 30, 2019 , we have subleased certain of the facilities with total sublease income of $46.5 million through fiscal year 2027 .
(5)  
Purchase commitments include non-cancelable purchase commitments for property and equipment, inventory, and services in the normal course of business. These amounts also include arrangements that require a minimum purchase commitment by us.

Total unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2019 were $31.0 million . We do not expect any significant change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.
Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
Certain acquisition payments to selling shareholders were contingent upon the achievement of pre-determined performance target over a period of time after the acquisition. Such contingent payments were recorded at estimated fair values upon the acquisition and re-measured in subsequent reporting periods. As of June 30, 2019 , the maximum amount of payments to be made based on the agreements was $1.7 million if the specific performance objectives are achieved. In addition, certain deferred compensation payments to selling shareholders contingent upon their continued employment after the acquisition was recorded as compensation expense over the requisite service period. As of June 30, 2019 , total deferred compensation to be paid out upon the conclusion of requisite service periods was $17.1 million .
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2019 , there were no off-balance sheet arrangements that may have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our critical accounting policies are included in the "Critical Accounting Policies" section of "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 . There has been no material change to our critical accounting policies since September 30, 2018 . See Note 4 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the critical estimates related to our interim goodwill impairment analysis.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices which could affect operating results, financial position and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments.
Exchange Rate Sensitivity
We are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Any foreign currency transaction, defined as a transaction denominated in a currency other than the local functional currency, will be reported in the functional currency at the applicable exchange rate in effect at the time of the transaction. A change in the value of the functional currency compared to the foreign currency of the transaction will have either a positive or negative impact on our financial position and results of operations.
Assets and liabilities of our foreign entities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense items are translated at average rates for the applicable period. Therefore, the change in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies may impact our financial position and results of operations. Historically, our primary exposure has related to transactions denominated in the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, and Indian rupee.
Periodically, we enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge against foreign exchange rate fluctuations. As of June 30, 2019 , we had not designated any contracts as fair value or cash flow hedges. The contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges and generally are for periods of less than 90 days. As of June 30, 2019 , the notional contract amount of outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts was $153.3 million .
Interest Rate Sensitivity
We are exposed to interest rate risk as a result of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.
At June 30, 2019 , we held approximately $686.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, primarily consisting of cash, money-market funds, bank deposits and a separately managed investment portfolio. Assuming a one percentage point change in interest rates, our interest income on our investments classified as cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities would change by approximately $5.6 million per annum, based on the balances as of June 30, 2019 .
At June 30, 2019 , we had no outstanding debt subject to variable interest rates.
Convertible Debentures
The fair values of our convertible debentures are dependent on the price and volatility of our common stock as well as movements in interest rates. The fair market values of these debentures will generally increase as the market price of our common stock increases and will decrease as the market price of our common stock decreases. The fair market values of these debentures will generally increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The market value and interest rate changes affect the fair market values of these debentures, but do not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to the fixed nature of the debt obligations. However, increases in the value of our common stock above the stated trigger price for each issuance for a specified period of time may provide the holders of these debentures the right to convert each bond using a conversion ratio and payment method as defined in the debenture agreement.
The following table summarizes the fair value and conversion value of our convertible debentures, and the estimated increase in fair value and conversion value with a hypothetical 10% increase in the stock price of $15.97 as of June 30, 2019 (dollars in millions):

Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of, and with the participation of, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to meet the requirements of Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no material changes to our internal controls over financial reporting as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting due to the adoption of the new revenue recognition standards.

(1) On April 29, 2013 , our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to $500.0 million , which was increased by $500.0 million on April 29, 2015. On August 1, 2018, our Board of Directors approved additional $500.0 million under our share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2019 , approximately $436.4 million remained available for future repurchases under the program.
For the majority of restricted stock units granted to employees, the number of shares issued on the date the restricted stock units vest is net of the minimum statutory income withholding tax requirements that we pay in cash to the applicable taxing authorities on behalf of our employees. We do not consider these transactions to be common stock repurchases.
