Commenting on the Non-IFRS results, Reynolds C. Bish, Chief Executive Officer, said: “We’re pleased with our performance during the third quarter and nine months, which was in line with our expectations for those periods and our guidance for fiscal year 2014. Software license revenue increased during the third quarter as a result of strong growth in mobile and new or acquired products. Core capture software license revenue was essentially flat in the Americas and Asia Pacific but declined in EMEA and in total as a result of a challenging year over year comparison in all three regions. This was particularly true in EMEA, where the prior year period included a $4.8 million order for core capture software licenses and maintenance services from a national government agency in Western Europe. Adjusted EBITDA declined during the quarter as a result of the investments we’ve made and continue to make in growing our sales organization and expanding our research and development efforts in order to drive future software license revenue growth. The third quarter represents our fifth consecutive quarter of year over year software license and total revenue growth following the reorganization of our sales force during October and November of 2012. We continue to realize improving sales execution across all geographies and product lines and therefore remain confident in and reaffirm our previous guidance for fiscal year 2014 as follows:”

Chief Financial Officer’s Review

With the exception of the section titled “Discussion of Non-IFRS Measures”, the Chief Financial Officer’s Review refers to IFRS financial measures.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, we extended to five quarters the trend of year-over-year software license and total revenue growth. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we generated growth in each revenue line item and in total revenue in all geographies. In addition, we continued the expansion of our sales organization, particularly the number of quota carrying sales reps, as well as increased staffing in our product development organization.

Software license revenue increased $1.7 million or 6.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to $4.4 million increase in mobile and new or acquired products offset by a $2.7 million decrease in core capture products. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, license revenue from multi-channel capture products decreased 8.0% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, while new or acquired products increased 206.8%. Multi-channel capture products are a product grouping created by Forrester which in addition to our core capture products includes mobile and web capture products and is estimated to be growing at a 4.5% compound annual growth rate between 2012 and 2016. Software license revenue increased $2.3 million in the Americas, $0.4 million in Asia Pacific, and decreased $1.0 million in EMEA.

Software license revenue increased $9.4 million or 12.8% in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 due to a $2.7 million increase in core capture products and a $6.7 million increase in mobile and new or acquired products. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, multi-channel capture has grown 5.5% as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2013, while new or acquired products has grown 102.4%. Software license revenues increased $7.2 million in Americas, $1.1 million in EMEA, and $1.1 million in Asia Pacific.

Maintenance services revenue increased $2.6 million or 8.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to an increase of $1.6 million or 10.6% in the Americas and $1.2 million or 9.2% in EMEA offset by a decrease of $0.2 million or 9.6% in Asia Pacific. In the nine months ended March 31, 2014, maintenance services revenue increased $7.5 million, or 8.2%, due to an increase of a $4.1 million or 9.0% in the Americas and $4.0 million or 10.3% in EMEA offset by a decrease of $0.6 million or 9.6% in Asia Pacific. The decreases in Asia Pacific are attributable to unfavorable exchange rate movements.

Professional services revenue increased $2.1 million or 26.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to an increase of $1.5 million or 38.6% in the Americas, $0.5 million or 14.2% in EMEA and $0.1 million or 15.0% in Asia Pacific. In the nine months ended March 31, 2014, professional services revenue increased $5.2 million or 21.5% due to an increase of $5.9 million or 52.6% in the Americas offset by a decrease of $0.6 million or 6.3% in EMEA and $0.1 million or 4.0% in Asia Pacific. The increase in professional services revenue is due to incremental professional services arising from our acquisition of Kapow as well as several large projects in the Americas.

Income tax expense decreased by $0.1 million, or 5.4%, to $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The effective tax rate is less than that in the three months ended March 31, 2013 due to significant costs incurred related to preparation of the NASDAQ listing and other items that were not deductible for tax purposes in the three months to March 31, 2013. Income tax expense increased by $0.8 million, or 22.2%, to $4.2 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2014. Increased income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was the result of more income from continuing operations. The effective tax rate in the nine months ended March 31, 2013 remains impacted by the expenses not deductible for tax purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have financed our business primarily through cash on hand and cash flows from operations. We had $93.1 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2014 compared to $93.4 million at June 30, 2013. The majority of our cash is held in U.S. dollars, Euros and to a lesser extent, British Pounds. We had no outstanding debt as of June 30, 2013.

The following tables set forth the summary of our cash flows:

Operating Activities

Net cash generated from operating activities was $16.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to cash generated from operating activities of $13.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013, a net increase of $2.3 million. That increase was primarily attributable to the net change in working capital for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Net cash generated from operating activities was $34.5 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $23.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $11.3 million. That increase was primarily attributable to a $7.4 million increase in deferred income primarily due to the acquisition of Kapow and a $4.6 million increase in non-acquisition related deferred income partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in payments under restructuring – personnel.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $4.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $12.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $7.7 million. The primary use of cash in the current period was the payment of $1.4 million of deferred consideration associated with our acquisition of Altosoft and $1.9 million of deferred consideration associated with our acquisition of Kapow. Additionally, we paid $1.0 million of contingent consideration to the former shareholders of Altosoft resulting from the achievement of calendar year 2013 revenue and EBITDA targets. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 we paid $11.7 million for the acquisition of Altosoft, less cash acquired of $0.8 million, and contingent consideration related to our acquisition of Atalasoft, resulting in an incremental decrease in cash flows from investing activities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $48.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $17.7 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $30.4 million. The primary use of cash in the current period was the $39.3 million cash consideration associated with our July 31, 2013 acquisition of Kapow and $6.1 million in deferred consideration related to our acquisition of Atalasoft, Altosoft and Kapow compared to $11.7 million in cash consideration paid on March 1, 2013 related to the acquisition of Altosoft and $0.4 million of deferred consideration related to the acquisition of Atalasoft. Additionally, we purchased $1.0 million of fixed assets in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period of the prior year.

Financing Activities

Net cash generated from financing activities was $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $0.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $0.4 million, due to the proceeds of stock option exercises in the period.

Net cash generated from financing activities was $12.2 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $0.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $11.6 million, due primarily to $12.4 million in net proceeds from the NASDAQ listing offset by decreases of $0.6 million from net purchases of employee benefit trust shares and proceeds from stock option exercises.

Exchange Rate Effects

We operate in many countries around the world, and maintain cash balances in locations in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 cash and cash equivalents increased by $0.1 million due to changes in exchange rates, while during the three months ended March 31, 2013 our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.6 million. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014 cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.1 million due to changes in exchange rates, while during the nine months ended March 31, 2013 our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.4 million due to changes in exchange rates, as we maintained more cash on hand in U.S. dollars this period. Our cash and cash equivalents will continue to fluctuate in the future, as exchange rates vary over time.

On October 14, 2013, the Company extended the term of its $40.0 million revolving line of credit with Bank of America Merrill Lynch to June 30, 2016. Subject to certain conditions, borrowings under the credit facility can be denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros and certain other currencies and can be made in the U.S. and certain other countries. The credit facility is available for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, is secured by certain assets of the Company and can be increased by an additional $10.0 million. As of March 31, 2014, $39.5 million was available as $0.5 million has been used to guarantee letters of credit in certain operating facilities and payroll services.

The Company has significant overseas subsidiaries, which operate principally in their local currencies. Where appropriate, intracompany borrowings are arranged in functional currencies of the borrower to centralize potential exchange rate impacts and provide a natural hedge against exchange rate movement risks.

The Company hedges certain cash balances and cash flows relating to transactions in accordance with policies set by the Board of Directors. Assessment of the credit risk profile of the Company’s key customers and resellers is centralized for increased focus.

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures

We use financial measures, both IFRS and non-IFRS, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of the business and for making operational decisions. We have provided and believe that the non-IFRS financial measures and supplemental reconciliation to IFRS financial measures are useful to investors and other users of our financial statements because the non-IFRS financial measures may be used as additional tools to compare business performance across peer companies, periods and financial markets.

While we use non-IFRS measures as a tool to enhance our understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance, we do not believe that these non-IFRS measures are a substitute for, or are superior to, the information provided by IFRS results. As such, the presentation of non-IFRS measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with IFRS. The primary limitations associated with the use of non-IFRS measures as compared to IFRS results are that non-IFRS measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry and that non-IFRS measures may exclude financial information that some investors may consider important in evaluating our performance. We compensate for these limitations by providing disclosure of the differences between non-IFRS measures and IFRS results, including providing a reconciliation of each non-IFRS measure to IFRS results, in order to enable investors to perform their own analysis of our operating results.

Non-IFRS Revenues - We define non-IFRS revenue as revenue, as reported under IFRS, increased to include revenue that is associated with our historic acquisitions that has been excluded from reported results for a given period due to the effects of purchase accounting. In accordance with IFRS purchase accounting, an acquired company’s deferred revenue at the date of acquisition is subject to a fair value adjustment which reduces the deferred amount and revenues recognized subsequent to an acquisition. We include non-IFRS revenue to allow for more complete comparisons to the financial results of our historical operations, forward-looking guidance and the financial results of peer companies. We believe these adjustments are useful to management and investors as a measure of the ongoing performance of the business. Additionally, although acquisition related revenue adjustments are non-recurring we may incur similar adjustments in connection with any future acquisitions.

The tables below provide a reconciliation of IFRS revenues to non-IFRS revenues related to all of our historic acquisitions:

Non-IFRS Income from Operations - We define non-IFRS income from operations as income from operations, as reported under IFRS, excluding the effect of acquisition fair value adjustment to revenue, share-based payment expense, depreciation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related costs, restructuring costs and other operating expense, net. Share-based payment expense, depreciation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets in our non-IFRS income from operations reconciliation represent non-cash charges which are not considered by management in evaluating our operating performance. Acquisition-related costs consist of: (i) costs directly attributable to our acquisition strategy and the evaluation, consummation and integration of our acquisitions (composed substantially of professional services fees including legal, accounting and other consultants and to a lesser degree to our personnel whose responsibilities are devoted to acquisition activities), and (ii) transition compensation costs (composed substantially of contingent payments for shares that are treated as compensation expense and retention payments that are anticipated to become payable to employees, as well as severance payments to employees whose positions were made redundant). These acquisition-related costs are not considered to be related to the organic continuing operations of the acquired businesses and are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the acquired assets. Restructuring costs are not considered in assessing our performance as we have not generally incurred such costs for our continuing operations. Other operating expense, net represents items that are not necessarily related to our recurring operations and which therefore are not, under IFRS, included in other expense lines. Accordingly, we exclude those amounts when assessing non-IFRS income from operations. At times when we are communicating with our shareholders, analysts and other parties we refer to non-IFRS income from operations as adjusted EBITDA.

We assess non-IFRS income from operations as a percentage of total non-IFRS revenues, and by doing so we are able to evaluate our relative performance of our revenue growth compared to the expense growth for those items included in non-IFRS income from operations. This measure allows management and our Board of Directors to compare our performance against that of other companies in our industry that may be of different sizes.

The following table provides a reconciliation of IFRS income from operations to non-IFRS income from operations and presents non-IFRS income from operations as a percentage of total revenues.

Adjusted Cash Flows from Operations - We define Adjusted cash flows from operations as net cash inflows from operating activities, as reported under IFRS, adjusted for income taxes paid or refunded and payments under restructurings. Income taxes paid is included in this reconciliation as the timing of cash payments and receipts can vary significantly from year-to-year based on a number of factors, including the influence of acquisitions on our consolidated tax attributes. Payments for restructurings relate to a specific activity that is not part of ongoing operations. The table below provides a reconciliation of IFRS cash flows from operations to Adjusted cash flows from operations:

Adjusted cash flow from operations increased $3.5 million to $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as a result of increased cash flows from operations and tax payments.

Adjusted cash flow from operations increased $12.3 million to $43.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 as a result of increased cash flows from operations, tax payments and payments under restructuring.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share - We define Adjusted diluted earnings per share as diluted earnings per share, as reported under IFRS, adjusted by certain items that are also excluded from our non-IFRS income from operations and which are discussed above. The most comparable IFRS metrics, ‘income (loss) from continuing operations, after tax’ and ‘earnings per share – diluted’, also include the reconciling items finance income (expense), net, and the impacts of income taxes on each of the other reconciling items. Therefore, we include this non-IFRS measure in order to provide a more complete comparison of our earnings per share from one period to another.

The tables below provide a reconciliation of our Adjusted diluted earnings per share, and our associated non-IFRS income (loss) from continuing operations, after tax:

Kofax LimitedNotes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of presentation

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authority.

On December 5, 2013, Kofax Limited (“Kofax”) effected an initial public offering of 2,300,000 shares of common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market using the ticker symbol “KFX”. All of the shares of common stock were offered by Kofax; there were no selling shareholders. Immediately prior to this listing Kofax was established as the parent company of Kofax’s various subsidiaries through a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the U.K. Companies Act of 2006. As part of that scheme, Kofax issued shares with a par value of $0.001 per share to replace Kofax plc’s prior shares with a par value of 2.5 pence per share. Share capital and share premium amounts in the comparative periods have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this change.

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not include all information and disclosures as required in the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements, and should be read in conjunction with Kofax’s Consolidated Annual Financial Statements for the year ended June 30, 2013 and Final Prospectus dated December 5, 2013.

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on April 29, 2014.

1.2 Summary of significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those followed in preparation of the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements for the year ended June 30, 2013.

The adoption of the standards and interpretations that have become effective for the current fiscal year have already been outlined in detail in the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements for the year ended June 30, 2013 and were not considered to have a significant impact on these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

1.3 Seasonality of operations

Many contracts, particularly those sold through the direct sales force, are finalized in the latter portions of any given quarter. Additionally, Kofax’s revenue may vary from quarter to quarter, depending on the timing and size of license revenue, which may contain individually large contracts in any given period. The first and third fiscal quarters have historically been seasonally weaker than the second and fourth quarters. This information is provided to allow for a proper appreciation of the results. However, management has concluded that this does not constitute “highly seasonal” as considered by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

NOTE 2 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Acquisition of Kapow

On July 31, 2013, Kofax acquired 100% of the shares of Kapow Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Kapow), a company incorporated in the United States, specializing in data integration software. Kapow’s software will assist in Kofax’s ability to integrate smart process applications with third party software for content import and export purposes as well as data validation during a business process. In addition, it will assist in penetrating the emerging electronic content transformation segment of the multichannel capture market, and is highly complementary to the recent acquisition of Altosoft’s business intelligence and analytics products. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method.

The consolidated financial statements include the results of Kapow during the eight month period from the acquisition date. The provisional fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Kapow, at the acquisition date, are as follows:

                      July 31, 2013 ($ in thousands) Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents 1,276 Trade receivables, net 3,093 Other current assets 378 Total current assets 4,747 Other non-current assets 87 Property and equipment 99 Deferred tax assets 8,375 Technology−intangible 10,700 Customer relationships−intangible 5,400 In-process R&D−intangible 700 Trade names−intangibles 200 Total assets 30,308   Current liabilities Trade and other payables 536 Other current liabilities 1,657 Deferred income – current 1,260 Total current liabilities 3,453 Other liabilities 26 Deferred tax liabilities 6,357 Total liabilities 9,836   Net assets acquired 20,472   Consideration paid in cash at time of closing 40,524 Deferred consideration 6,624 Total consideration 47,148   Goodwill arising from acquisition 26,676  

Analysis of cash flows on acquisition:

                      ($ in thousands) Cash outflow at time of closing 40,524 Less: cash acquired 1,276 Total cash consideration 39,248  

The provisional goodwill of $26.7 million includes the value of acquired technologies, and expected synergies arising from the acquisition and the workforce, which is not separately recognizable. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

From the date of acquisition, Kapow has contributed $6.2 million of revenue and $4.8 million of net loss to the Group. If the combination had taken place at the beginning of the fiscal year, revenue from Kapow’s operations would have been approximately $1.0 million higher and the net income would have decreased by approximately $1.0 million and Kofax’s total revenue would have been $211.1 million and net income $3.0 million.

NOTE 3 OPERATING SEGMENTS

Kofax operates one business segment, the software business. All products and services are considered one solution to customers and are operated and analysed under one income statement provided to and evaluated by the chief operating decision maker (CODM). The CODM manages the business based on the key measures for resource allocation, based on a single set of financial data that encompasses Kofax’s entire operations for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Group’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.

There are no reportable assets that meet the criteria under IFRS 8 to be reported under the single operating segment.

The effective tax rate (income tax expense as a percentage of income from continuing operations) can be influenced by the disproportionate effect of significant expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes, together with non-recognition of certain tax losses, and certain income items that do not attract a tax charge.

Contingent consideration relates to deferred consideration, contingent consideration, and employee retention payments associated with acquisitions in prior periods and in the nine months ended March 31, 2014. On July 25, 2013, the Altosoft acquisition agreement was amended to allow for achievement of earnings targets based on cumulative results in the first two years of the assessment. During the third quarter of 2014, $1.0 million of contingent consideration was paid to the former shareholders of Altosoft. In determining the fair value of the remaining calendar year 2014 and 2015 contingent consideration, management assessed a number of scenarios and based on those scenarios, estimated for financial accounting purposes, $2.8 million of the contingent consideration remains to be paid to former shareholders.

In relation to the acquisition of Kapow, an additional $6.6 million of deferred consideration was included in the total consideration of the acquisition. During the third quarter of 2014, $1.9 million of deferred consideration was paid to the former shareholders of Kapow. An additional $2.4 million is expected to be paid one year from closing and $2.3 million to be paid two years from closing, with said amounts being subject to certain indemnification terms and conditions.

Additionally, the threshold for the contingent consideration and related retention bonuses related to the acquisition of Singularity was not achieved in the second measurement period. Accordingly provisions totaling $3.6 million was reversed against the income statement.
