NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Pegasystems Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “the Company”) has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

In the opinion of management, the Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as its audited financial statements, and these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year 2014.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded $0.6 million in adjustments to the purchase price allocation of its acquisition of Antenna Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Antenna”) on October 9, 2013. As required by applicable business combination accounting rules, these adjustments were applied retrospectively. Therefore, accounts receivable, other current assets, goodwill, accounts payable, and accrued expenses have been revised as of December 31, 2013 to reflect these adjustments. These revisions did not have any impact on the Company’s previously reported results of operations or cash flows. See Note 6 “Acquisition” and Note 7 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for further discussion of these adjustments.

On March 6, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one (2:1) stock split of the Company’s common stock. On April 1, 2014, each stockholder of record at the close of business on March 20, 2014 (the “Record Date”) received one additional share of common stock, par value $.01, for each share of common stock held on the Record Date. All shares of common stock and per share amounts in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and in the accompanying notes for all periods presented have been restated to reflect the stock split, except for the number of authorized shares of common stock. At the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which will be held on May 20, 2014, the Company is requesting stockholder approval to amend the Company’s Restated Articles of Organization to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000.

3.    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts (“forward contracts”) to manage its exposure to changes in foreign currency denominated accounts receivable, intercompany payables and cash primarily held by the U.S. operating company. The Company has been primarily exposed to the fluctuation in the British pound and Euro relative to the U.S. dollar. More recently, the Company has experienced increased levels of exposure to the Australian dollar and Indian rupee, for which it began to use forward contracts in the third quarter of 2013.

The forward contracts utilized by the Company are not designated as hedging instruments and as a result, the Company records the fair value of these contracts at the end of each reporting period in its consolidated balance sheet as other current assets for unrealized gains and accrued expenses for unrealized losses, with any fluctuations in the value of these contracts recognized in other (expense) income, net, in its consolidated statement of operations. These forward contracts have 90 day terms or less.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not have any forward contracts outstanding.

During the first three months of 2014 and 2013, the Company entered into forward contracts with notional values as follows:

4.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for classifying the fair value measurements, a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which classifies the fair value measurements based on the inputs used in measuring fair value, was established as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (Level 2) significant other observable inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) significant unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. On a recurring basis, the Company records its marketable securities at fair value.

The Company’s investments are all classified within Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s investments classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using quoted market prices. The Company’s investments classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued based on matrix pricing compiled by third party pricing vendors, using observable market inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, and credit risk.

The fair value hierarchy of the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities at fair value is as follows:

6.    ACQUISITION

On October 9, 2013, the Company acquired Antenna, a leading provider of mobile application development platforms. The Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Antenna in a cash merger for $27.1 million, including the final working capital adjustment to the purchase price, which was paid in the first quarter of 2014. The total purchase price of $27.1 million included $4.2 million, which was deposited in escrow to secure the selling stockholders’ indemnification obligations to the Company under the merger agreement that may be due to the former shareholders of Antenna over certain periods through April 2015 less any amounts presented and approved for payment against the escrow. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company incurred and recorded direct and incremental expenses associated with the transaction of $0.2 million that were primarily professional fees.

The Company believes the acquisition will offer its clients faster time-to-market and increased flexibility in end-to-end mobile application development, powerful device management and cloud-based mobile Backend-as-a-Service.

The operations of Antenna are included in the Company’s operating results from the date of acquisition. The amount of revenue and earnings of Antenna included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations during the first three months of 2014 were approximately $4.7 million and a net loss of approximately $2.2 million, respectively. Due to the rapid integration of the products, sales force, and operations of Antenna, other than the maintenance and hosting revenue attributable to the recognition of the fair value of acquired deferred maintenance and hosting revenue, it may not be feasible for the Company to identify revenue from new arrangements attributable to Antenna.

The Company is in the process of investigating the facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date in order to finalize the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and establish the related tax basis. As of March 31, 2014, the Company recorded a $0.6 million purchase price adjustment against goodwill related to the final working capital adjustment, which reduced the merger consideration. This purchase price adjustment is also reflected retrospectively as of December 31, 2013 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2014, as a result of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company recognized $16.4 million of goodwill, which is primarily due to the expected synergies of the combined entities and the workforce in place. The goodwill created by the transaction is nondeductible for tax purposes. The Company recorded $36.7 million of deferred tax assets, a $24.2 million valuation allowance related to the Company’s preliminary determination it will not be able to utilize all of the acquired Antenna federal and foreign NOLs due to various limitations and restrictions, and a $6.9 million deferred tax liability associated with the acquired intangibles, for a net deferred tax asset of $5.6 million. A summary of the preliminary purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Antenna is as follows:

The valuation of the assumed deferred revenue was based on the Company’s contractual commitment to provide post-contract customer support to Antenna clients and future contractual performance obligations under existing hosting arrangements. The fair value of this assumed liability was based on the estimated cost plus a reasonable margin to fulfill these service obligations. The majority of the deferred revenue is expected to be recognized in the 12 months following the acquisition.

The valuation of the acquired intangible assets is inherently subjective and relies on significant unobservable inputs. The Company used an income approach to value the acquired customer related, technology and trade name intangible assets. The non-compete assets were valued using the with-and-without method, a form of the income approach which considers the cash flow differentials under multiple scenarios with or without key executives. The valuation for each of these intangible assets was based on estimated projections of expected cash flows to be generated by the assets, discounted to the present value at discount rates commensurate with perceived risk. The valuation assumptions take into consideration the Company’s estimates of contract renewal, technology attrition and revenue growth projections.

Pro forma Information

The following pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of the Company and Antenna as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2012 after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflected herein include only those adjustments that are directly attributable to the Antenna acquisition, factually supportable, and expected to have a continuing impact on the Company. These pro forma adjustments include a net increase in amortization expense to eliminate historical amortization of Antenna intangible assets and to record amortization expense for the $10.4 million of acquired identifiable intangibles, a decrease in interest income as a result of the cash paid for the acquisition, and a decrease in interest expense as a result of the repayment of all Antenna outstanding debt in connection with the acquisition. The pro forma financial information does not reflect any adjustments for anticipated synergies resulting from the acquisition and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have actually occurred had the transaction been consummated on January 1, 2012.

10.    ACCRUED RESTRUCTURING COSTS

During the fourth quarter of 2013, in connection with the Company’s evaluation of its combined facilities with Antenna, the Company approved a plan to eliminate space within one facility. The Company ceased use of this space during the fourth quarter of 2013 and recognized $1.7 million of restructuring expenses, representing future lease payments and demising costs, net of estimated sublease income for this space. The lease expires in 2021.

On April 1, 2014, the Company effected a two-for-one (2:1) stock split of the Company’s common stock. All shares of common stock and per share amounts in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and in the accompanying notes for all prior periods presented have been restated to reflect the stock split, except for the number of authorized shares of common stock. See Note 1 “Accounting Policies” for further discussion.

During the first three months of 2014, the Company issued approximately 192,000 shares to its employees under the Company’s share-based compensation plans.

During the first three months of 2014, the Company granted approximately 885,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 908,000 non-qualified stock options to its employees with total fair values of approximately $17.7 million and $7.1 million, respectively. Approximately 100,000 RSUs were issued in connection with the election by employees to receive 50% of their 2014 target incentive compensation under the Company’s Corporate Incentive Compensation Plan (the “CICP”) in the form of RSUs instead of cash. Stock-based compensation of approximately $2.0 million associated with this RSU grant will be recognized over a one-year period beginning on the grant date.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $27.6 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all unvested RSUs and unvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

12.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding options, RSUs, and warrants, using the treasury stock method and the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the applicable period. Certain shares related to some of the Company’s outstanding stock options and RSUs were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were antidilutive in the periods presented, but could be dilutive in the future.

13.    GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND MAJOR CLIENTS

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company develops and licenses its software solutions and provides consulting services, maintenance, and training related to its software. The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from the sale and support of one group of similar products and services – software that provides business process solutions in the enterprise applications market. To assess performance, the Company’s CODM reviews financial information for two operating segments, which the Company has determined can be aggregated and represent one reportable segment — business process solutions.

The Company’s international revenue is from sales to clients based outside of the U.S. The Company derived its operating revenue from the following geographic areas:

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains or incorporates forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our future financial performance and business plans, the adequacy of our liquidity and capital resources, the continued payment of quarterly dividends by the Company, and the timing of recognizing revenue under existing term license agreements. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate and management’s beliefs and assumptions. In addition, other written or oral statements that constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “may,” “target,” “project,” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Important factors that could cause actual future activities and results to differ include, among others, variation in demand for our products and services and the difficulty in predicting the completion of product acceptance and other factors affecting the timing of license revenue recognition, the ongoing uncertainty and volatility in the global financial markets, the ongoing consolidation in the financial services and healthcare markets, reliance on third party relationships, the potential loss of vendor specific objective evidence for our consulting services, and management of the Company’s growth. These risks are described more completely in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. We do not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Our acquisition of Antenna Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Antenna”) on October 9, 2013 expanded our Application Mobility Platform, which provides clients with a mobile application development platform to build, manage, and deploy mobile applications as part of a seamless omnichannel experience. Enterprises can manage the complex elements of the mobile application lifecycle including security, integration, testing, and management of mobile applications and devices. Pega’s mobile application development solutions help businesses to significantly reduce their development time, deployment costs, and the complexity associated with run-the-business mobile applications. The operations of Antenna are included in our operating results from the date of acquisition. Total revenue and earnings attributable to Antenna included in our consolidated statements of operations in the first quarter of 2014 was approximately $4.7 million and a net loss of approximately $2.2 million, respectively. Due to the rapid integration of the products, sales force, and operations of Antenna, other than the maintenance and hosting revenue attributable to the recognition of the fair value of acquired deferred maintenance and hosting revenue, it may not be feasible for us to identify revenue from new arrangements attributable to Antenna.

We offer training for our staff, clients, and partners at our regional training facilities, at third party facilities, and at client sites. Our online training through PegaACADEMY provides an alternative way to learn our software in a virtual environment quickly and easily. We believe that this online training will continue to expand the number of trained experts at a faster pace.

Critical accounting policies

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions, and beliefs of what could occur in the future given available information.

There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. For more information regarding our critical accounting policies, we encourage you to read the discussion contained in Item 7 under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies, Significant Judgments, and Estimates” and Note 2 “Significant Accounting Policies” included in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The aggregate value of new license arrangements executed during the first quarter of 2014 significantly increased compared to the first quarter of 2013 due to a higher number and higher value of license arrangements executed in the first quarter of 2014. The aggregate value of new license arrangements executed fluctuates quarter to quarter. During the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, approximately 74% and 44%, respectively, of the value of new license arrangements were executed with existing clients.

The mix between perpetual and term license arrangements executed in a particular period varies based on client needs. A change in the mix between perpetual and term license arrangements executed may cause our revenues to vary materially from period to period. A higher proportion of term license arrangements executed would result in more license revenue being recognized over longer periods as payments become due or earlier if prepaid. Some of our perpetual license arrangements include extended payment terms or additional rights of use, which also result in the recognition of revenue over longer periods.

While there was a significant increase in the value of perpetual license arrangements executed during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013, perpetual license revenue decreased because the revenue recognition criteria was not met for a larger amount of perpetual arrangements signed in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013.

The increase in term license revenue was primarily due to revenue recognized on term license arrangements executed in 2013 and a $1.5 million prepayment of a customer arrangement in the first quarter of 2014. The aggregate value of payments due under noncancellable term licenses and our Pega Cloud arrangements grew to $234.1 million as of March 31, 2014 compared to $214.7 million as of March 31, 2013. We expect to recognize $53 million of the $234.1 million as revenue during the remainder of 2014 in addition to new term license and Pega Cloud agreements we may complete or prepayments we may receive from existing term license agreements. See the table of future cash receipts on page 27.

Subscription revenue primarily consists of the ratable recognition of license, maintenance and bundled services revenue on perpetual license arrangements that include a right to unspecified future products. Subscription revenue does not include revenue from our Pega Cloud offerings, which is included in services. The timing of scheduled payments under client arrangements may limit the amount of revenue recognized in a reporting period. Consequently, our subscription revenue may vary quarter to quarter. The increase in subscription revenue was primarily due to the timing of a payment for a customer arrangement.

The increase in maintenance revenue was primarily due to the growth in the aggregate value of the installed base of our software. Maintenance revenue primarily attributable to recognition of the fair value of the acquired Antenna deferred maintenance revenue was $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Consulting services primarily relate to new license implementations. Our consulting services revenue in the first quarter of 2013 was unusually low primarily because many of our large fourth quarter 2012 license arrangements were for the purchase of additional usage, which do not require implementation services.

Cloud represents revenue from our Pega Cloud offerings. The increase in cloud revenue was primarily due to a $1.3 million increase of revenue attributable to Antenna.

The decrease in our training revenue during was primarily due to the increased adoption of our PegaACADEMY self-service online training by our partners, which has a significantly lower average price per student as compared to our traditional instructor-led training.

Selling and marketing expenses include compensation, benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with our selling and marketing personnel as well as advertising, promotions, trade shows, seminars, and other programs. Selling and marketing expenses also include the amortization of customer related intangibles.

The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to a $3 million increase in compensation and benefit expenses associated with higher headcount, a $0.7 million increase in commission expense associated with the higher value of new license arrangements executed during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013, a $0.8 million increase in marketing and sales program expenses and a $0.3 million increase in amortization expense related to our Antenna customer-related intangible assets.

Effective January 1, 2014, we realigned the organizational structure of our product management and design team. As a result of this change, we changed the classification of this team’s expenses from selling and marketing to research and development as the roles of the members of this team are now aligned with our research and development efforts. The decrease caused by this realignment partially offset the increase in headcount as well as the overall increase in selling and marketing expenses during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.

The realignment of the organizational structure of our product management and design team as discussed above contributed to the increase in headcount as well as the overall increase in research and development expense during the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.

The increase in headcount also reflects the impact of Antenna and the growth in our India research facility as we have been replacing contractors with employees. The increase in offshore headcount lowered our average compensation expense per employee.

The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to a $3.6 million increase in compensation and benefit expenses associated with higher headcount inclusive of the $1.8 million compensation and benefit expenses associated with our product management and design group now included in research and development and a $0.5 million increase in expensed equipment.

It also includes accounting, legal, and other administrative fees. The general and administrative headcount includes employees in human resources, information technology and corporate services departments whose costs are allocated to our other functional departments.

The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a $1 million increase in professional fees, a $1.2 million increase in compensation and benefits associated with higher headcount, and a $0.4 million increase in amortization associated with the Antenna trademark intangible asset.

We use foreign currency forward contracts (“forward contracts”) to manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency denominated accounts receivable, intercompany payables, and cash primarily held by our U.S. operating company. We have not designated these forward contracts as hedging instruments and as a result, we record the fair value of the outstanding contracts at the end of the reporting period in our consolidated balance sheet, with any fluctuations in the value of these contracts recognized in other (expense) income, net. The fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts recorded in other (expense) income, net, partially offset in net income, the gains and losses from the remeasurement or settlement of the foreign currency denominated accounts receivable, intercompany payables, and cash held by the U.S. operating company recorded in foreign currency transaction gain (loss).

We have been primarily exposed to the fluctuation in the British pound and Euro relative to the U.S. dollar. More recently, we have experienced increased levels of exposure to the Australian dollar and Indian rupee. See Note 3 “Derivative Instruments” in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of our use of forward contracts.

The total change in the fair value of our forward contracts recorded in other (expense) income, net, during the first quarter of 2014 and 2013 was a loss of $0.5 million and a gain of $0.8 million, respectively.

Provision for income taxes

We account for income taxes at each interim period using our estimated annual effective tax rate and adjust for discrete tax items recorded in the same period. The provision for income taxes represents current and future amounts owed for federal, state, and foreign taxes. During the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, we recorded a tax provision of $4.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 32.8% and 24.5%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for first quarter of 2013 was below the statutory rate primarily due to a $0.8 million tax benefit related to our 2012 research and experimentation credit recognized in the first quarter of 2013 as a result of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 that was signed into law in January 2013. Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2014 was higher than in the first quarter of 2013 primarily because the research and experimentation credit has not yet been extended to 2014.

The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the significant increase in cash provided by operating activities associated with our strong accounts receivable collections during the first three months of 2014, which were generated from our significant arrangements executed in the fourth quarter of 2013. We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents, and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations, our dividend payments and our share repurchase program for at least the next 12 months.

We evaluate acquisition opportunities from time to time, which if pursued, could require use of our funds. On October 9, 2013, we acquired Antenna for $26.3 million in cash. During the first quarter of 2014, we paid $0.8 million of the remaining merger consideration related to the final working capital adjustment for Antenna and we incurred direct and incremental expenses associated with the transaction of $0.2 million.

As of March 31, 2014, approximately $63.6 million of our cash and cash equivalents was held in our foreign subsidiaries. If it becomes necessary to repatriate these funds, we may be required to pay U.S. tax, net of any applicable foreign tax credits, upon repatriation. We consider the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be permanently reinvested and, as a result, U.S. taxes on such earnings are not provided. It is impractical to estimate the amount of U.S. tax we could have to pay upon repatriation due to the complexity of the foreign tax credit calculations and because we consider our earnings permanently reinvested. There can be no assurance that changes in our plans or other events affecting our operations will not result in materially accelerated or unexpected expenditures.

Cash provided by operating activities

The primary drivers of cash provided by operating activities during the first three months of 2014 were net income of $9.8 million, a $57.3 million decrease in accounts receivable due to our significant collections, and a $18.3 million increase in deferred revenue primarily due to the timing of our annual billings.

The primary drivers of cash provided by operating activities during the first three months of 2013 were net income of $9.1 million, a $61.7 million decrease in account receivable due to higher collections, and a $6.8 million increase in deferred revenue.

Future fees associated with our Pega Cloud arrangements will be recognized ratably as cloud revenue within services revenue over the term of the agreement.

 

(2) These amounts will be recognized as revenue in future periods and relate to perpetual and subscription licenses with extended payment terms and/or additional rights of use.

Cash used in investing activities

During the first three months of 2014, cash used in investing activities was primarily for purchases of marketable debt securities of $11.6 million, partially offset by the proceeds received from the maturities of marketable debt securities of $11.0 million.

During the first three months of 2013, cash used in investing activities was primarily for purchases of marketable debt securities of $15.8 million, partially offset by the proceeds received from the maturities of marketable debt securities of $3.8 million.

Cash used in financing activities

Cash used in financing activities during the first three months of 2014 and 2013 was primarily for repurchases of our common stock. Since 2004, our Board of Directors has approved annual stock repurchase programs that have authorized the repurchase in the aggregate of up to $104.5 million of our common stock. Purchases under these programs have been made on the open market.

On March 6, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one (2:1) stock split of the Company’s common stock. On April 1, 2014, each stockholder of record at the close of business on March 20, 2014 (the “Record Date”) received one additional share of common stock, par value $.01, for each share of common stock held on the Record Date. The number of shares and per share amounts for all prior periods presented have been retroactively restated to reflect our two-for-one common stock split, except for the number of authorized shares of common stock. The following table is a summary of our repurchase activity under all of our repurchase programs during the first three months of 2014 and 2013:

In addition to the share repurchases made under our repurchase programs, we net settled the majority of our employee stock option exercises and RSU vesting, which resulted in the withholding of shares to cover the option exercise price and the minimum statutory tax withholding obligations.

During the first three months of 2014 and 2013, option and RSU holders net settled stock options and vested RSUs representing the right to purchase a total of 323,000 shares and 418,000 shares, respectively, of which only 187,000 shares and 240,000 shares, respectively, were issued to the option and RSU holders and the balance of the shares were surrendered to us to pay for the exercise price and the applicable taxes. During the first three months of 2014 and 2013, instead of receiving cash from the equity holders, we withheld shares with a value of $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for withholding taxes, and $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for the exercise price. The value of share repurchases and shares withheld for net settlement of our employee stock option exercises and vesting of RSUs offset the proceeds received under our various share-based compensation plans during the first three months of 2014 and 2013.

Dividends

We declared a cash dividend of $0.015 per share on a post-split basis in the first three months of 2014 and 2013. We paid cash dividends of $1.1 million in the first three months of 2014. Our Board of Directors authorized the acceleration of the payment of the fourth quarter 2012 dividend to be paid in December 2012 rather than in January 2013. Therefore, there was no dividend payment in the first quarter of 2013. As discussed above, we declared a two-for-one common stock split that was effected in the form of a common stock dividend with distribution on April 1, 2014. As a result, it is our current intention to pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.015 per share, however, the Board of Directors may terminate or modify this dividend program at any time without notice.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may affect us due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily related to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to partially mitigate our exposure to the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. See Note 3 “Derivative Instruments” in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

There were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk during the first three months of 2014. Please refer to Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for a more complete discussion of our market risk exposure.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2014. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II—Other Information:

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

We encourage you to carefully consider the risk factors identified in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results and could cause our actual business and financial results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or elsewhere by management from time to time. There have been no material changes during the first three months of 2014 to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

(1) The number of shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the Company’s two-for-one common stock split effected in the form of a stock dividend distributed April 1, 2014.

 

(2) Since 2004, our Board of Directors has approved stock repurchase programs that have authorized the repurchase, in the aggregate, of up to $104.5 million of our common stock. On December 16, 2013, we announced that our Board of Directors extended the expiration date of the current stock repurchase program (the “Current Program”) to December 31, 2014 and authorized the Company to repurchase up to $15 million of our stock between December 11, 2013 and December 31, 2014. Under the Current Program, purchases may be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Shares may be repurchased in such amounts as market conditions warrant, subject to regulatory and other considerations. We have established a pre-arranged stock repurchase plan, intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act (the “10b5-1 Plan”). All share repurchases under the Current Program during closed trading window periods will be made pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan.
