PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
CA, Inc.:
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of CA, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2010, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of CA, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 14, 2010, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
(unaudited)
NOTE A — ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of CA, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 270, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 (2010 Form 10-K).
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, these estimates may ultimately differ from actual results.
Operating results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011.
Divestitures:
In June 2010, the Company sold its Information Governance business to Autonomy Corporation plc (Autonomy). The results of operations and loss on discontinued operations associated with this business have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and for the three and six months ended September 30 2009. The effects of the discontinued operations were considered immaterial to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2010 and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. See Note M, “Discontinued Operations,” for additional information.
In September 2010, the Company sold an equity investment and recognized a gain of approximately $10 million, which is included in “Other expenses, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Cash Dividends:
The Company’s Board of Directors declared the following dividends during the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:

NOTE C — INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS PER COMMON SHARE
Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are included in the computation of net income per share under the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income is reduced by the amount of dividends declared in the period for each class of common stock and participating securities. The remaining undistributed income is then allocated to common stock and participating securities as if all of the net income for the period had been distributed. Basic net income per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net income allocable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income allocable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares as of the balance sheet date, as adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of non-participating share-based awards and convertible notes. The following table reconciles net income per common share for the three and six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

NOTE G — DERIVATIVES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company is exposed to financial market risks arising from changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Changes in interest rates could affect the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities, and foreign exchange rate changes could affect the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and forecasted transactions. The Company enters into derivative contracts with the intent of mitigating a portion of these risks.

Interest rate swaps: During the first half of fiscal year 2011, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $200 million to swap a total of $200 million of its 6.125% Senior Notes due December 2014 into floating interest rate debt through December 1, 2014. As a result, the Company has interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $500 million to swap a total of $500 million of its 6.125% Senior Notes due December 2014 into floating interest rate debt through December 1, 2014. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges and are being accounted for in accordance with the shortcut method of FASB ASC Topic 815.
As of September 30, 2010, the fair value of these derivatives was $30 million, of which $12 million is included in “Other current assets” and $18 million is included in “Other noncurrent assets” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of March 31, 2010, the fair value of these derivatives was $1 million and is included in “Other current assets” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
During fiscal year 2009, the Company entered into separate interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $250 million to hedge a portion of its variable interest rate payments. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges.
The effective portion of these cash flow hedges is recorded as “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and is reclassified into “Interest expense, net,” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the cash flow hedges would be recorded immediately to “Interest expense, net”; however, no ineffectiveness existed at September 30, 2010 or 2009.
At September 30 and March 31, 2010, less than $1 million and $4 million, respectively, of the Company’s interest rate derivatives are included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Foreign currency contracts: The Company enters into foreign currency option and forward contracts to manage foreign currency risks. The Company has not designated its foreign exchange derivatives as hedges. Accordingly, changes in fair value from these contracts are recorded as “Other expenses, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2010, foreign currency contracts outstanding consisted of purchase and sales contracts with a total notional value of approximately $470 million, and durations of less than six months. The net fair value of these contracts at September 30, 2010 was approximately $4 million, of which approximately $9 million is included in “Other current assets” and approximately $5 million is included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
A summary of the effect of the interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows:

For the Company’s cash flow hedges, the amount of loss recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was less than $1 million at September 30, 2010. The amount of loss reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive income” into “Interest expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was approximately $1 million and $3 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. Less than $1 million is expected to be released from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to income in connection with the Company’s monthly interest payments on the hedged debt by the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2011.
The Company is party to collateral security arrangements with most of its major counterparties. These arrangements require the Company to hold or post collateral when the derivative fair values exceed contractually established thresholds. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments under these collateralized arrangements that were in a liability position at September 30, 2010 was less than $1 million for which the Company posted no collateral. Under these agreements, if the Company’s credit ratings had been downgraded one rating level, the Company would still not have been required to post collateral.

NOTE H — RESTRUCTURING
Fiscal 2010 restructuring plan: The fiscal 2010 restructuring plan (Fiscal 2010 Plan) was approved on March 31, 2010. The Fiscal 2010 Plan is composed of a workforce reduction of approximately 1,000 positions and global facilities consolidations. These actions are intended to better align the Company’s cost structure with the skills and resources required to more effectively pursue opportunities in the marketplace and execute the Company’s long-term growth strategy. Actions under the Fiscal 2010 Plan were substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2011.
For the six months ended September 30, 2010, restructuring activity under the Fiscal 2010 plan was as follows:

Fiscal 2007 restructuring plan: In August 2006, the Company announced the fiscal 2007 restructuring plan (Fiscal 2007 Plan) to significantly improve the Company’s expense structure and increase its competitiveness. The Fiscal 2007 Plan’s objectives included a workforce reduction, global facilities consolidations and other cost reduction initiatives. The Company has recognized substantially all of the costs associated with the Fiscal 2007 Plan.
The reduction in workforce included approximately 3,100 individuals under the Fiscal 2007 Plan. Most of these actions have been completed; however, final payment of the severance amounts is dependent upon settlement with the works councils in certain international locations. The Company has also recognized substantially all of the facilities abandonment costs associated with the Fiscal 2007 Plan.
For the six months ended September 30, 2010, restructuring activity under the Fiscal 2007 Plan was as follows:

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2010 was $73 million and $161 million, respectively, compared with the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 of $99 million and $212 million, respectively.
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized a net tax benefit of $23 million and $36 million, respectively, resulting primarily from refinements of tax positions taken in prior periods, assertion of affirmative claims in the context of tax audits and the resolutions and accruals of uncertain tax positions relating to non-U.S. jurisdictions. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized a net tax benefit of $7 million resulting primarily from the resolution of uncertain tax positions relating to non-U.S. jurisdictions.
Income taxes receivable of approximately $87 million as of September 30, 2010 are included in other current assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additions to the liability for uncertain tax positions in the six months ended September 30, 2010 were approximately $139 million.
The Company’s effective tax rate, excluding the impact of discrete items, for the six months ended September 30, 2010 of 32.6% was different from the effective tax rate of 33.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2009 primarily due to the worldwide mix of estimated consolidated earnings before taxes and additional accruals and changes in estimates related to uncertain tax positions. The results of the Company’s international operations, the outcome of tax audits and any other changes in potential tax liabilities may result in additional tax expense or benefit in future periods, which are not considered in the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company does not currently view any such items as individually material to the results of our operations or financial position. However, the impact of such items may yield additional tax expense in the second half of fiscal year 2011 and future periods and the Company is anticipating fiscal year 2011 effective tax rate of approximately 33% to 34%.
NOTE J — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Certain legal proceedings in which the Company is involved are discussed in Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with those financial statements.
Stockholder Derivative Litigation
In June and July 2004, three purported derivative actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (the Federal Court) by Ranger Governance, Ltd. (Ranger), Bert Vladimir and Irving Rosenzweig against certain current or former employees and/or directors of the Company. In November 2004, the Federal Court issued an order consolidating the three actions into Computer Associates International, Inc., Derivative Litigation, No. 04 Civ. 2697 (E.D.N.Y.) (the Derivative Action). The derivative plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint (the Consolidated Complaint) on January 7, 2005. The Consolidated Complaint names as defendants Charles Wang, Sanjay Kumar, Ira Zar, Charles McWade, Peter Schwartz, William de Vogel, Richard Grasso, Roel Pieper, Russell Artzt, Alfonse D’Amato, Lewis Ranieri, Stephen Richards, Steven Woghin, David Kaplan, David Rivard, Lloyd Silverstein, Michael A. McElroy, Gary Fernandes, Robert E. La Blanc, Jay W. Lorsch, Kenneth Cron, Walter P. Schuetze, KPMG LLP, and Ernst & Young LLP. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. The Consolidated Complaint seeks from one or more of the defendants (1) contribution towards the consideration the Company had previously agreed to provide then current and former stockholders in settlement of certain class action litigation commenced against the Company and certain officers and directors in 1998 and 2002; (2) compensatory and consequential damages in an amount not less than $500 million in connection with the investigations giving rise to the Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) entered into between the Company and the United States Attorney’s Office in 2004 and a consent to enter into a final judgment (Consent Judgment) in a parallel proceeding

brought by the SEC regarding certain of the Company’s past accounting practices, including its revenue recognition policies and procedures during certain periods prior to the adoption of the Company’s new business model in October 2000. (In May 2007, based upon the Company’s compliance with the terms of the DPA, the Federal Court ordered dismissal of the charges that had been filed against the Company in connection with the DPA, and the DPA expired. The injunctive provisions of the Consent Judgment permanently enjoining the Company from violating certain provisions of the federal securities laws remain in effect.); (3) unspecified relief for violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act for alleged false and material misstatements made in the Company’s proxy statements issued in 2002 and 2003; (4) relief for alleged breach of fiduciary duty; (5) unspecified compensatory, consequential and punitive damages based upon allegations of corporate waste and fraud; (6) unspecified damages for breach of duty of reasonable care; (7) restitution and rescission of the compensation earned under the Company’s executive compensation plan; and (8) pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reimbursement of bonus or other incentive-based equity compensation and alleged profits realized from sales of securities issued by the Company. Although no relief is sought from the Company, the Consolidated Complaint seeks monetary damages, both compensatory and consequential, from the other defendants, including current or former employees and/or directors of the Company, Ernst & Young LLP and KPMG LLP in an amount totaling not less than $500 million.
On February 1, 2005, the Company established a Special Litigation Committee of members of its Board of Directors who are independent of the defendants to, among other things, control and determine the Company’s response to the Derivative Action. On April 13, 2007, the Special Litigation Committee issued its reports, which announced the Special Litigation Committee’s conclusions, determinations, recommendations and actions with respect to the claims asserted in the Derivative Action. The Special Litigation Committee also served a motion which seeks to dismiss and realign the claims and parties in accordance with the Special Litigation Committee’s recommendations. As summarized below, the Special Litigation Committee concluded as follows:
  The Special Litigation Committee has concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Company to pursue certain of the claims against Messrs. Wang and Schwartz.
 
  The Special Litigation Committee has concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Company to pursue certain of the claims against the former Company executives who have pled guilty to various charges of securities fraud and/or obstruction of justice — including Messrs. Kaplan, Richards, Rivard, Silverstein, Woghin and Zar. The Special Litigation Committee has determined and directed that these claims be pursued by the Company using counsel retained by the Company, unless the Special Litigation Committee is able to successfully conclude its ongoing settlement negotiations with these individuals.
 
  The Special Litigation Committee has reached a settlement (subject to court approval) with Messrs. Kumar, McWade and Artzt.
 
  The Special Litigation Committee believes that the claims against current and former Company directors Messrs. Cron, D’Amato, de Vogel, Fernandes, Grasso, La Blanc, Lorsch, Pieper, Ranieri and Schuetze should be dismissed. The Special Litigation Committee has concluded that these directors did not breach their fiduciary duties and the claims against them lack merit.
 
  The Special Litigation Committee has concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Company to seek dismissal of the claims against Ernst & Young LLP, KPMG LLP and Mr. McElroy.
By letter dated July 19, 2007, counsel for the Special Litigation Committee advised the Federal Court that the Special Litigation Committee had reached a settlement of the Derivative Action with two of the three derivative plaintiffs — Bert Vladimir and Irving Rosenzweig. In connection with the settlement, both of these plaintiffs have agreed to support the Special Litigation Committee’s motion to dismiss and to realign. The Company has agreed to pay the attorney’s fees of Messrs. Vladimir and Rosenzweig in an

amount up to $525,000 each. If finalized, this settlement would require approval of the Federal Court. On July 23, 2007, Ranger filed a letter with the Federal Court objecting to the proposed settlement.
On October 29, 2007, the Federal Court denied the Special Litigation Committee’s motion to dismiss and realign, without prejudice to renewing the motion following a decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the Second Circuit) on an appeal brought by Ranger in connection with other derivative litigation. On December 14, 2009, the Company and the Special Litigation Committee renewed the motion to dismiss and realign. By an Order dated September 29, 2010, the Federal Court granted the motion in all respects, granting relief including the following: (1) dismissing the claims against current and former Company directors Messrs. Cron, D’Amato, de Vogel, Fernandes, Grasso, La Blanc, Lorsch, Pieper, Ranieri and Schuetze and Ernst & Young LLP, KPMG LLP and Mr. McElroy; and (2) realigning the Company as plaintiff with respect to certain of the claims against Messrs. Wang and Schwartz, Artzt, Kaplan, Kumar, McWade, Richards, Rivard, Silverstein, Woghin and Zar.
Other Civil Actions
In April 2010, a lawsuit captioned Stragent, LLC et ano. v. Amazon.com, Inc., et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against the Company and five other defendants. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Company technology, including the 2E product, infringes a patent assigned to plaintiff SeeSaw Foundation and licensed to plaintiff Stragent LLC, entitled “Method of Providing Data Dictionary-Driven Web-Based Database Applications,” U.S. Patent No. 6,832,226. The complaint seeks monetary damages and interest in an undisclosed amount, and costs, based upon plaintiffs’ patent infringement claims. In May 2010, the Company filed an answer and counterclaims that, among other things, dispute plaintiffs’ claims and seek a declaratory judgment that the Company does not infringe the patent-in-suit and that the patent is invalid. To date, no discovery has commenced in this action. Although the timing and ultimate outcome cannot be determined, the Company believes that the plaintiffs’ claims are unfounded and that the Company has meritorious defenses.

In September 2010, a lawsuit captioned Uniloc USA, Inc. et ano. v. National Instruments Corp., et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against the Company and 10 other defendants. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Company technology, including Internet Security Suite Plus 2010, infringes a patent licensed to plaintiff Uniloc USA, Inc., entitled “System for Software Registration,” U.S. Patent No. 5,490,216. The complaint seeks monetary damages and interest in an undisclosed amount, a temporary, preliminary and permanent injunction against alleged acts of infringement, attorneys’ fees and costs, based upon the plaintiffs’ patent infringement claims. Although the timing and ultimate outcome cannot be determined, the Company believes that the plaintiffs’ claims are unfounded and that the Company has meritorious defenses.
The Company, various subsidiaries, and certain current and former officers have been named as defendants in various other lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses in connection with such lawsuits and claims, and intends to vigorously contest each of them.
In the opinion of the Company’s management based upon information currently available to the Company although the outcome of the matters listed in this Note as well as these other lawsuits and claims is uncertain, the results of pending matters against the Company, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, although the effect could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for any interim reporting period.
The Company is obligated to indemnify its officers and directors under certain circumstances to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. As a part of that obligation, the Company has advanced and will continue to advance certain attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by current and former officers and directors in various litigations and investigations arising out of similar allegations, including the litigation described above.

NOTE L — ACQUISITIONS
The Company’s acquisitions during the first half of fiscal year 2011 were considered immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, compared with the results of the Company’s operations. Therefore, purchase accounting information and pro-forma disclosure are not presented.
The following represents the aggregate allocation of the purchase price and estimated useful lives to the acquired net assets of Nimsoft AS (Nimsoft), 3Tera, Inc. (3Tera) and Oblicore, Inc. (Oblicore), which were acquired during fiscal year 2010. The increase in the revision of the values assigned to purchased software from the original amounts reported for fiscal year 2010 was approximately $54 million. The amortization effects were immaterial. During the first six months of fiscal year 2011, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation for 3Tera and Oblicore. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation for Nimsoft in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. Any revisions are not expected to be material. The revised purchase price allocation for Nimsoft, 3Tera and Oblicore is as follows:
             
            Estimated
(dollars in millions)   Amount   Useful Life
 
Finite-lived intangible assets(1)
  $ 46     5-6 years
Purchased software
    319     10 years
Goodwill
    117     Indefinite
Deferred taxes, net liability
    (7 )    —
Other assets net of other liabilities assumed
    (2 )    —
 
Purchase Price
  $ 473      
 
 
(1)   Includes customer relationships and trade names.
The excess purchase price over the estimated value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of a significant portion of the purchase price to goodwill was predominantly due to the intangible assets that are not separable, such as assembled workforce and going concern.
The pro forma effects of the acquisitions to the Company’s revenues and results of operations during fiscal year 2010 were considered immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate.
The Company had approximately $69 million and $74 million of accrued acquisition-related costs as of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. Approximately $64 million of the accrued acquisition related costs at September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, related to purchase price amounts withheld subject to indemnification protections.
Acquisition-related costs are comprised of employee costs, duplicate facilities and other acquisition-related costs that are incurred as a result of the Company’s prior period acquisitions.
NOTE M — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Discontinued Operations: In June 2010, the Company sold its Information Governance business, consisting primarily of the CA Records Manager and CA Message Manager software offerings and related professional services, for approximately $19 million to Autonomy. The loss from discontinued operations of approximately $6 million included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended September 30, 2010 consists of a loss from operations of approximately $1 million, net of taxes of approximately $1 million, and a loss upon disposal of approximately $5 million, inclusive of taxes of approximately $4 million.

On October 4, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the voting equity interests of Arcot Systems, Inc. (Arcot), a privately held provider of authentication and fraud prevention solutions through on premises software or cloud services. The acquisition of Arcot adds technology for fraud prevention and authentication to the Company’s Identity and Access Management offerings. The total purchase price of the acquisition was approximately $200 million. Due to the timing of this acquisition, the Company has not completed the allocation of purchase price to acquired identifiable assets, including intangible assets.

OVERVIEW
We are the leading independent enterprise IT management software and service company with deep expertise across IT environments – from mainframe and distributed to virtual and cloud. We develop and deliver software and services that help organizations manage and secure their IT infrastructures and deliver more flexible IT services. This allows companies to more effectively and efficiently respond to business needs. We address virtually all of the components of the computing environment, including

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
people, information, processes, systems, networks, applications and databases, regardless of the hardware or software customers are using.
We license our products worldwide. We service companies across most major industries worldwide, including banks, insurance companies, other financial services providers, governmental agencies, manufacturers, technology companies, retailers, and educational and health care institutions. These customers typically maintain IT infrastructures that are both complex and central to their objectives for operational excellence.
We offer our software products and solutions directly to our customers through our direct sales force and indirectly through global systems integrators, managed service providers, technology partners, value-added resellers, exclusive representatives and distributors and volume partners.
We are the leading independent software vendor in the mainframe space, and we continue to innovate on the platform that runs many of our largest customers’ most important applications. As the IT landscape continues to evolve, more companies are seeking to improve the efficiency and availability of their IT resources and applications through virtualization, which enables users to run multiple virtual machines on each physical machine and thereby reduce operating costs associated with physical infrastructure. Virtualization is an essential enabling technology for many of the key cloud computing attributes. The increasing adoption of virtualization and the evolution of cloud computing is leading to more complex data centers that include physical servers, virtualized servers, private cloud environments and public cloud applications. As a result of this heightened complexity, it is increasingly important for companies to have a choice of robust, heterogeneous, virtualization-specific management solutions, covering multiple management disciplines across IT environments.
To address these market demands, we have built a broad portfolio of distributed and mainframe software products with a specific focus on mainframe; service management and service assurance; project and portfolio management; security (identity and access management); virtualization and service automation; and cloud computing. We deliver our products on-premises or, for certain products, via Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
Our current strategy emphasizes accelerating our growth by continuing to build on our portfolio of software and services to address customer needs in the above-mentioned areas of focus through a combination of internal development and acquired technologies. We believe this strategy builds on our core strengths in IT management while also positioning us to compete in high-growth markets, including virtualization, cloud and SaaS. We are also seeking to expand our business beyond our traditional core customers, generally consisting of large enterprises, to reach emerging enterprises (which we also refer to as growth accounts and define as companies with revenue of $300 million to $2 billion) and customers in emerging geographies (which we also refer to as our growth geographies).
Our ability to achieve success in our growth strategy could be affected by many of the risk factors described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 (the 2010 Form 10-K).
To enable us to execute our growth strategy more effectively, we have:
    Completed several key acquisitions since September 30, 2009 in an effort to expand our product portfolio, including Arcot Systems, Inc., Nimsoft AS, 3Tera, Inc., Oblicore, Inc. and NetQoS, Inc.;
 
    Re-branded our company; and
 
    Realigned our operations by creating two new organizations — the Customer Solutions Group and the Technology and Development Group. Working with our existing Sales Organization, the new organizations are intended to drive collaboration and accountability across the Company while enabling us to deliver even greater customer service and product innovation.

Item 2:
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
While not necessarily material to our results in a period, management also looks to the following operational priorities to get a view as to how we are executing against our growth strategy:
    Increasing the number of freestanding sales with new products;
 
    Responding to customer demand in growth geographies and growth accounts; and
 
    Continuing to align the organization to be more responsive to customer needs and emerging trends.
Increasing the number of freestanding sales with new products. We define this as new sales of products outside of a renewal and look at this in terms of how we engage our customers, including whether we are becoming less dependent on a renewal cycle as a compelling event to sell new products. Freestanding sales give us the opportunity to increase our share of customer spending through both cross-selling to current customers and the addition of new customers. Our success can be seen in our progress in increasing new product sales.
Responding to customer demand in growth geographies and growth accounts. We have increased our investment in growth geographies—which for us also includes Japan and Australia. Recently we brought new management talent into several key roles. While we do not expect these investments to have a material impact this fiscal year, we are encouraged by results in countries like Mexico and Japan. Our Nimsoft acquisition also accelerates our ability to access both growth accounts and growth geographies through new channels, including managed service providers.
Continuing to align our organization to be more responsive to customer needs and emerging trends. We continue to align the organization to be more responsive to customer needs and emerging trends. Substantial initial work was done on realigning our organization at the beginning of July 2010, when we created the Customer Solutions Group or CSG. We are already seeing the CSG organization help improve our execution and we expect, over time, that it will further enhance our competitive positioning and ability to respond to the needs of our customers and changes in the market. It also helps us drive results from both the assets we have developed and those that we have acquired.
As our growth strategy has evolved, our management also looks within bookings at total new product and capacity sales, which we define as sales of products or capacity that are new or in addition to products or capacity previously contracted for by a customer. The amount of new product and capacity sales for a period, as currently tracked by the Company, requires estimation by management and has not been historically reported. Within a given period, the amount of new product and capacity sales may not be material to the change in our total bookings or revenue compared to prior periods.
For further discussion of our business and business model, see our 2010 Form 10-K. For further discussion of our Critical Accounting Policies and Business Practices, see “Critical Accounting Policies and Business Practices.”
Executive Summary
The following is a summary of the analysis of our results contained in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Our financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 reflect a total revenue backlog of $7,832 million. This represents 2% growth, compared with $7,687 million in the prior year period. The current portion of revenue backlog represents revenue to be recognized within the next 12 months. The $3,463 million of the current portion of revenue backlog at September 30, 2010 increased by 3%, compared with the balance of $3,365 million at September 30, 2009. Generally, we believe that an increase in the current portion of revenue backlog is a positive indicator of future revenue growth.
We also saw positive results for total new product and capacity sales for the quarter, which grew in the high single digits year over year. Generally, total new product and capacity sales consist of new sales of distributed products, mainframe products and capacity. Total bookings in the quarter grew 9%, due

Item 2:
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
primarily to an increase in new sales of distributed products recognized on an up-front basis and subscription and maintenance bookings. In the current quarter, while subscription and maintenance bookings were up slightly, there was a significant increase in new sales of our distributed products that was partially offset by a significant decline in mainframe capacity sales. We expect momentum in mainframe bookings to build as our renewal portfolio increases in the second half of fiscal 2011, which should also drive our mix of new business to subscription and maintenance bookings.
Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $1,110 million and grew 4%, compared with $1,067 million in the year-ago period. Robust growth in the United States revenue of $50 million or 9%, was partially offset by a $7 million or 1% decrease in international revenue. Excluding an unfavorable foreign exchange effect of $15 million, international revenue would have increased by $8 million or 2%. Our revenue growth was 1% from existing products while 3% was from acquired technologies (which we define as technology acquired within the prior 12 months). Excluding the unfavorable foreign currency effect, revenue growth was evenly split between existing products and acquired technologies. Revenue from software fees and other for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 increased by 150% to $70 million, compared with the year-ago period, primarily due to revenue generated from new distributed product sales of existing and acquired products. Professional services revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 increased by 13% as compared to the prior year comparable period. Subscription and maintenance revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased by 1% to $961 million, compared with the year-ago period. This decrease was due to an unfavorable foreign currency effect of $15 million.
Total expense before interest and income taxes of $803 million grew 10%, compared with $728 million from the year-ago period. This increase includes a favorable foreign currency effect of $11 million. The increase was primarily the result of acquisitions that we closed during fiscal 2010, offset by a one-time $10 million benefit from the sale of an equity interest. We may experience similar additional costs associated with any future acquisitions.
Income before interest and income taxes decreased by 9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, due to an increase in total expenses before interest and income taxes of 10%. This increase resulted from the increased costs as noted above. Diluted income from continuing operations per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $0.43, compared with $0.41 in the year-ago period, reflecting in part the Company’s repurchase of its common shares.
Cash flow from operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $130 million and grew 8%, compared with $120 million in the year-ago period. This growth reflects a year-over-year increase in single installment payments, which were $124 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $64 million in the year-ago period. For the first half of fiscal 2011, gross receipts related to single installments for the entire contract value or a substantial portion of the contract value were $214 million, compared with $228 million in the first half of fiscal 2010. The second quarter of fiscal 2011 also reflected an increase in vendor disbursements and payroll of $77 million, compared with the year-ago period, primarily due to the acquisitions that we closed during fiscal 2010.

Analyses of our performance indicators, including general trends, can be found in the “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections of this MD&A.
Subscription and Maintenance Revenue — Subscription and maintenance revenue is the amount of revenue recognized ratably during the reporting period from: (i) subscription license agreements that were in effect during the period, generally including maintenance that is bundled with and not separately identifiable from software usage fees or product sales, (ii) maintenance agreements associated with providing customer technical support and access to software fixes and upgrades that are separately identifiable from software usage fees or product sales, and (iii) license agreements bundled with additional products, maintenance or professional services for which Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (VSOE) has not been established. These amounts include the sale of products directly by us, as well as by distributors and volume partners, value-added resellers and exclusive representatives to end-users, where the contracts incorporate the right for end-users to receive unspecified future software products, and other contracts entered into in close proximity or contemplation of such agreements.
Total Bookings — Total bookings includes the incremental value of all subscription, maintenance and professional service contracts and software fees and other contracts entered into during the reporting period and is generally reflective of the amount of products and services during the period that our customers have agreed to purchase from us. Revenue for bookings attributed to sales of software products for which revenue is recognized on an up-front basis is reflected in the “software fees and other” line item of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Subscription and Maintenance Bookings — Subscription and maintenance bookings is the aggregate incremental amount we expect to collect from our customers over the terms of the underlying subscription and maintenance agreements entered into during a reporting period. These amounts include the sale of products directly by us and may include additional products, services or other fees for which we have not established VSOE of fair value. Subscription and maintenance bookings also includes indirect sales by distributors and volume partners, value-added resellers and exclusive representatives to end-users, where the contracts incorporate the right for end-users to receive unspecified future software products, and other contracts without these rights entered into in close proximity or contemplation of such agreements. These amounts are expected to be recognized ratably as subscription and maintenance revenue over the applicable term of the agreements. Subscription and maintenance bookings excludes the value associated with certain perpetual licenses, license-only indirect sales, and professional services arrangements.
The license and maintenance agreements that contribute to subscription and maintenance bookings represent binding payment commitments by customers over periods that range generally from three to five years on a weighted average basis, although in certain cases customer commitments can be for longer or shorter periods. These current period bookings are often renewals of prior contracts that also had various durations, usually from three to five years. The amount of new subscription and maintenance bookings recorded in a period is affected by the volume, duration and value of contracts renewed during that period. Our subscription and maintenance bookings typically increase in each consecutive quarter during a fiscal year, with the first quarter having the least bookings and the fourth quarter having the most bookings. However, subscription and maintenance bookings may not always follow the pattern of increasing in consecutive quarters during a fiscal year, and the quarter-to-quarter differences in subscription and maintenance bookings may vary. Given the varying durations of the contracts being renewed, year-over-year comparisons of bookings are not always indicative of the overall bookings trend. Additionally, management also looks within bookings at the yield on our renewal portfolio. We define this as the percentage of prior contract value realized from renewals during the period. The baseline for calculating renewal yield is an estimate affected by various factors including contractual renewal terms and other conditions. We estimate the yield based on a review of material transactions representing a substantial majority of the dollar value of renewals during the current period. Changes in renewal yield may not be material to changes in bookings compared to prior periods.

28


 

Generally, we believe that an increase in the current portion of revenue backlog is a positive indicator of future revenue growth due to the high percentage of our revenue that is recognized from license agreements that are already committed and being recognized ratably.
Additionally, period-to-period changes in subscription and maintenance bookings do not necessarily correlate to changes in cash receipts. The contribution to current period revenue from subscription and maintenance bookings from any single license or maintenance agreement is relatively small, since revenue is recognized ratably over the applicable term for these agreements.
Weighted Average Subscription and Maintenance License Agreement Duration in Years — The weighted average subscription and maintenance license agreement duration in years reflects the duration of all subscription and maintenance agreements executed during a period, weighted by the total contract value of each individual agreement. Weighted average subscription and maintenance license agreement duration in years can fluctuate from period to period depending on the mix of license agreements entered into during a period. Weighted average duration information is disclosed in order to provide additional understanding of the volume of our bookings.
Annualized Subscription and Maintenance Bookings — Annualized subscription and maintenance bookings is an indicator that normalizes the bookings recorded in the current period to account for contract length. It is calculated by dividing the total value of all new subscription and maintenance license agreements entered into during a period by the weighted average subscription and license agreement duration in years for all such subscription and maintenance license agreements recorded during the same period.
Total Revenue Backlog — Total revenue backlog represents the aggregate amount we expect to recognize as revenue in the future as either subscription and maintenance revenue, professional services revenue or software fees and other revenue associated with contractually committed amounts billed or to be billed as of the balance sheet date. Total revenue backlog is composed of amounts recognized as liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as deferred revenue (billed or collected) as well as unearned amounts yet to be billed under subscription and maintenance and software fees and other agreements. Classification of amounts as current and non-current depends on when such amounts are expected to be earned and therefore recognized as revenue. Amounts that are expected to be earned and therefore recognized as revenue in 12 months or less are classified as current, while amounts expected to be earned in greater than 12 months are classified as non-current. The portion of the total revenue backlog that relates to subscription and maintenance agreements is recognized as revenue evenly on a monthly basis over the duration of the underlying agreements and is reported as subscription and maintenance revenue in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Generally, we believe that an increase in the current portion of revenue backlog is a positive indicator of future revenue growth.
“Deferred revenue (billed or collected)” is composed of: (i) amounts received from customers in advance of revenue recognition, (ii) amounts billed but not collected for which revenue has not yet been earned, and (iii) amounts received in advance of revenue recognition from financial institutions where we have transferred our interest in committed installments (referred to as “Financing obligations and other” in Note K, “Deferred Revenue” in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Bookings
Total Bookings
For the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and 2010, total bookings were $1,018 million and $934 million, respectively. The increase in bookings was primarily due to the increase in new sales of distributed products recognized on an up-front basis and subscription and maintenance bookings.
For the first half of fiscal 2011 and 2010, total bookings were $1,768 million and $2,126 million, respectively. The decrease in bookings was mainly attributable to the decrease in subscription and maintenance bookings in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, as described below.

31


 

Subscription and Maintenance Bookings
For the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and 2010, we added subscription and maintenance bookings of $865 million and $844 million, respectively. This increase was primarily attributable to a significant increase in new sales of our distributed products. This was partially offset by significantly lower mainframe capacity sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 primarily due to the nature and mix of our renewal portfolio in the quarter which was weighted toward distributed products. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we renewed a total of 14 license agreements with incremental contract values in excess of $10 million each, for an aggregate contract value of $361 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, we renewed a total of 18 license agreements with incremental contract values in excess of $10 million each, for an aggregate contract value of $366 million. For the second quarter, the renewal yield did not differ materially from its recent range of high 80% to low 90%.
For the first half of fiscal 2011 and 2010, we added subscription and maintenance bookings of $1,502 million and $1,930 million, respectively. The decrease in subscription and maintenance bookings was primarily attributable to lower scheduled contract renewals occurring in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Generally, quarters with smaller renewal inventories result in a lower level of bookings not only because renewal bookings will be less but because renewals remain an important selling opportunity for new products. The renewal portfolio is weighted more heavily towards the second half of fiscal 2011. We expect momentum in mainframe bookings to build as the renewal portfolio increases in the second half of fiscal 2011, which should also drive our mix of new business more to subscription and maintenance bookings than in the current period. Thus, we would expect higher levels of bookings in the second half of fiscal 2011, compared with the first half of fiscal 2011. Currently, we expect total fiscal 2011 renewals to be about 10% lower than total fiscal 2010 renewals although this generally does not include new product and capacity sales and professional services arrangements.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2011, annualized subscription and maintenance bookings decreased $10 million from the prior year period to $249 million. The weighted average subscription and maintenance duration in years increased to 3.47 from 3.26 in the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to the longer duration of the larger contracts executed during the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
Total Revenue
As more fully described below, the increase in total revenue in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 compared with the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2010 was primarily attributable to an increase in our software fees and other revenue and to a lesser extent an increase in professional services revenue. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, revenue reflected an unfavorable foreign exchange effect of $15 million compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2010. For the first half of fiscal 2011, the unfavorable foreign exchange effect was less than $1 million compared with the first half of fiscal 2010.
Price changes do not have a material impact on revenue in a given period as a result of our ratable subscription model.
Subscription and Maintenance Revenue
The decrease in subscription and maintenance revenue for the second quarter of 2011 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was due to an unfavorable foreign exchange effect of $15 million. Excluding the unfavorable foreign exchange effect, subscription and maintenance revenue would have increased by $7 million.
The increase in subscription and maintenance revenue for the first half of fiscal 2011 compared with the first half of fiscal 2010 was primarily due to revenue associated with our acquisitions of NetQoS, Inc., Nimsoft AS and 3Tera, Inc. (our fiscal 2010 acquisitions), which occurred during the second half of fiscal 2010. For the first half of fiscal 2011, revenue reflected an unfavorable foreign exchange effect of $1 million.
Professional Services
Professional services revenue increased in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 compared with the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2010, due to the increased execution of engagements under service contracts during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and an increase in professional services revenue associated with our fiscal 2010 acquisitions, which occurred during the second half of fiscal 2010.

32


 

Software Fees and Other
Software fees and other revenue primarily consists of revenue that is recognized on an up-front basis. This includes revenue associated with distributed products sold on an up-front basis, through transactions with distributors and volume partners, value-added resellers and exclusive representatives (sometimes referred to as our “indirect” or “channel” revenue). Software fees and other revenue increased for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2010 primarily due to $39 million in revenue from existing application management products sold on an up-front basis and products acquired in our fiscal 2010 acquisitions (including integration of acquired technologies into our existing product portfolio). Approximately $15 million of this revenue was primarily from products acquired in one of our fiscal 2010 acquisitions, which occurred during the second half of fiscal 2010.
Software fees and other revenue increased for the first half of fiscal 2011, compared with the first half of fiscal 2010 primarily due to $51 million in revenue from existing application management products sold on an up-front basis and acquired new products from our fiscal 2010 acquisitions. Approximately $26 million of this revenue was primarily from products acquired in one of our fiscal 2010 acquisitions, which occurred during the second half of fiscal 2010.
Total Revenue by Geography

Revenue in the United States increased by $50 million, or 9%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 primarily due to higher software fees and other revenue, as described above. International revenue decreased by $7 million, or 1%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Excluding an unfavorable foreign exchange effect of $15 million, international revenue would have increased $8 million.
Revenue in the United States increased by $94 million, or 8%, for the first half of fiscal 2011 primarily due to higher software fees and other revenue, as described above. International revenue decreased by $4 million, or 1%, for the first half of fiscal 2011, compared with the first half of fiscal 2010.

Expenses
Costs of Licensing and Maintenance
Costs of licensing and maintenance include technical support, royalties, and other manufacturing and distribution costs. The increase in costs of licensing and maintenance for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was primarily due to a $6 million increase in support and manufacturing costs associated with our fiscal 2010 acquisitions, which occurred during the second half of fiscal 2010.
The increase in costs of licensing and maintenance for the first half of fiscal 2011, compared with the first half of fiscal 2010 was primarily due to a $13 million increase in support and manufacturing costs associated with our fiscal 2010 acquisitions.
Costs of Professional Services
Costs of professional services consist primarily of our personnel-related costs associated with providing professional services and training to customers. For the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the costs of professional services increased compared with the prior year period primarily due to an increase in services projects with customers, as reflected by the $9 million increase in revenue. These costs increased at a higher rate than revenue primarily as a result of a higher mix of engagements that required additional effort to meet customer requirements. These engagements resulted in lower margins. As a result, margins on professional services decreased to 5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with 16% in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
For first half of fiscal 2011, the costs of professional services increased compared with the prior year period primarily due to an increase in services projects, as reflected by the $17 million increase in revenue. These costs increased at a higher rate than revenue primarily as a result of a higher mix of engagements that required additional effort to meet customer requirements during the second quarter of fiscal 2011. These engagements resulted in lower margins. As a result, margins on professional services decreased to 7% for the first half of fiscal 2011, compared with 11% for first half of fiscal 2010.
Amortization of Capitalized Software Costs
Amortization of capitalized software costs consists of the amortization of both purchased software and internally generated capitalized software development costs. Internally generated capitalized software development costs relate to new products and significant enhancements to existing software products that have reached the technological feasibility stage.
The increases in amortization of capitalized software costs for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 compared with the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2010 was primarily due to the increase in amortization expense associated with our fiscal 2010 acquisitions and the increase in activities relating to projects that have reached technological feasibility in recent periods.
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses include the costs relating to our sales force, our channel partners, our corporate and business marketing and our customer training programs. The increase in selling and marketing expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was primarily related to a $14 million increase in commission expense and a $8 million increase in personnel costs associated with our fiscal 2010 acquisitions.
The increase in selling and marketing expenses for the first half of fiscal 2011 compared with the first half of fiscal 2010 was primarily due to a $21 million increase in personnel costs associated with our fiscal 2010 acquisitions and promotion expenses of $14 million attributable to CA World, our flagship customer and partner trade show, which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The previous CA World event occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2009.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses include the costs of corporate and support functions, including our executive leadership and administration groups, finance, legal, human resources, corporate communications and other costs such as provisions for doubtful accounts. For the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011,

34


 

general and administrative costs were relatively consistent with the prior year periods. We incurred increased costs in the first half of fiscal 2011 associated with our fiscal 2010 acquisitions offset by reduced personnel costs. During the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2010, we recognized severance and other related expenses of $7 million for amounts owed to our former Chief Executive Officer pursuant to his employment agreement and other items relating to the transition to his successor.
Product Development and Enhancements
For both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 and 2010, product development and enhancements expenses represented approximately 11% of total revenue. For the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011, the increase in product development and enhancements expense was due to our continued investment in technologies to support our strategy, as well as a broadening of our enterprise product offerings. In addition, expenses also increased as a result of our fiscal 2010 acquisitions, which occurred during the second half of fiscal 2010.
Depreciation and Amortization of Other Intangible Assets
The increase in depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 compared with the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2010 was primarily due to the increase in depreciation and amortization expenses for acquired assets.
Other Expenses, Net
Other expenses, net includes gains and losses attributable to divested assets, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, and certain other items. For the second quarter of fiscal 2011, other expenses, net included $21 million of expenses relating to changes to the marked-to-market value of our foreign exchange derivative contracts, partially offset by a $10 million gain associated with the sale of an equity investment. For the second quarter of fiscal 2010, other expenses, net primarily related to $5 million of expenses relating to our foreign exchange derivative contracts.
For the first half of fiscal 2011, other expenses, net included $8 million of expenses relating to our foreign exchange derivative contracts and $6 million of expenses in connection with litigation claims. These expenses were partially offset by a $10 million gain associated with the aforementioned sale of an equity investment. For the first half of fiscal 2010, other expenses, net included $7 million of expenses in connection with litigation claims.
Restructuring and Other
For the first half of fiscal 2011, we recorded a credit of approximately $2 million related to the reduction of the severance costs related to the Fiscal 2010 Plan and Fiscal 2007 Plan. The severance portion of the remaining liability balance is included in the “Accrued salaries, wages and commissions” line item on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The facilities abandonment portion of the remaining liability balance is included in the “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “Other noncurrent liabilities” line items on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Final payment of these amounts is dependent upon settlement with the works councils in certain international locations and our ability to negotiate lease terminations. (Refer to Note H, “Restructuring,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.)
Interest Expense, Net
The decreases in interest expense, net, for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 compared with the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2010 were primarily due to the decrease in interest expense resulting from our overall decrease in debt. During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, we reduced our debt outstanding and increased our weighted average maturity, enhancing our capital structure and financial flexibility.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 was $73 million and $161 million, respectively, compared with income tax expense for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2010 of $99 million and $212 million, respectively.
During the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011, we recognized a net tax benefit of $23 million and $36 million, respectively, resulting primarily from refinements of tax positions taken in prior periods,

35


 

assertion of affirmative claims in the context of tax audits and the resolutions and accruals of uncertain tax positions relating to non-U.S. jurisdictions. During the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2010, we recognized a net tax benefit of $7 million resulting primarily from the resolution of uncertain tax positions relating to non-U.S. jurisdictions.
Income taxes receivable of $87 million as of September 30, 2010 are included in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additions to the liability for uncertain tax positions in the first half of fiscal 2011 were $139 million.
Our effective tax rate, excluding the impact of discrete items, for the first half of fiscal 2011 of 32.6% was different from the effective tax rate of 33.9% for the first half of fiscal 2010 primarily due to the worldwide mix of estimated consolidated earnings before taxes and additional accruals and changes in estimates related to uncertain tax positions. The results of our international operations, the outcome of tax audits and any other changes in potential tax liabilities may result in additional tax expense or benefit in future periods, which are not considered in our estimated annual effective tax rate. We do not currently view any such items as individually material to the results of our operations or financial position. However, the impact of such items may yield additional tax expense in the second half of fiscal year 2011 and future periods and we are anticipating a fiscal 2011 effective tax rate of approximately 33% to 34%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash and cash equivalent balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world, with 48% held in our subsidiaries outside the United States at September 30, 2010. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $2,525 million as of September 30, 2010, representing a decrease of $58 million from the March 31, 2010 balance of $2,583 million. The decrease in Cash and cash equivalents during the first half of fiscal 2011 included a $32 million favorable translation effect that foreign currency exchange rates had on cash held outside the United States in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Under our subscription and maintenance agreements, customers generally make installment payments over the term of the agreement, often with at least one payment due at contract execution, for the right to use our software products and receive product support, software fixes and new products when available. The timing and actual amounts of cash received from committed customer installment payments under any specific agreement can be affected by several factors, including the time value of money and the customer’s credit rating. Often, the amount received is the result of direct negotiations with the customer when establishing pricing and payment terms. In certain instances, the customer negotiates a price for a single up-front installment payment and seeks its own internal or external financing sources. In other instances, we may assist the customer by arranging financing on their behalf through a third-party financial institution. Alternatively, we may decide to transfer our rights to the future committed installment payments due under the license agreement to a third-party financial institution in exchange for a cash payment. Once transferred, the future committed installments are payable by the customer to the third-party financial institution. Whether the future committed installments have been financed directly by the customer with our assistance or by the transfer of our rights to future committed installments to a third party, such financing agreements may contain limited recourse provisions with respect to our continued performance under the license agreements. Based on our historical experience, we believe that any liability that we may incur as a result of these limited recourse provisions will be immaterial.
Amounts billed or collected as a result of a single installment for the entire contract value, or a substantial portion of the contract value, rather than being invoiced and collected over the life of the license agreement are reflected in the liability section of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Deferred revenue (billed or collected).” Amounts received from either a customer or a third-party financial institution that are attributable to later years of a license agreement have a positive impact on billings and cash provided by operating activities in the current period. Accordingly, to the extent such collections are attributable to the later years of a license agreement, billings and cash provided by operating activities during the license’s later years will be lower than if the payments were received over the license term. We are unable to predict with certainty the amount of cash to be collected from single installments for the entire contract value,

36


 

or a substantial portion of the contract value, under new or renewed license agreements to be executed in future periods.
For the first half of fiscal 2011, gross receipts related to single installments for the entire contract value, or a substantial portion of the contract value, were $214 million compared with $228 million in the first half of fiscal 2010.
In any quarter, we may receive payments in advance of the contractually committed date on which the payments were otherwise due. In limited circumstances, we may offer discounts to customers to ensure payment in the current period of invoices that have been billed, but might not otherwise be paid until a subsequent period because of payment terms or other factors. Historically, any such discounts have not been material.
Our estimate of the fair value of net installment accounts receivable recorded under the prior business model approximates carrying value. Amounts due from customers under our current business model are offset by deferred revenue related to these license agreements, leaving no or minimal net carrying value on the balance sheets for such amounts. The fair value of such amounts may exceed or be less than this carrying value but cannot be practically assessed since there is no existing market for a pool of customer receivables with contractual commitments similar to those owned by us. The actual fair value may not be known until these amounts are sold, securitized or collected. Although these customer license agreements commit the customer to payment under a fixed schedule, to the extent amounts are not yet due and payable by the customer, the agreements are considered executory in nature due to our ongoing commitment to provide maintenance and unspecified future software products as part of the agreement terms.
We can estimate the total amounts to be billed from committed contracts, referred to as our “Billings backlog,” and the total amount to be recognized as revenue from committed contracts, referred to as our “Revenue backlog.” The aggregate amounts of our billings backlog and trade and installment receivables already reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the amounts we expect to collect in the future from committed contracts.

Generally, we believe that an increase in the current portion of revenue backlog is a positive indicator of future revenue growth. Total revenue backlog decreased from March 31, 2010, primarily because of the lower bookings in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 attributable to the smaller renewal portfolio compared with the renewals in the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

In any fiscal year, cash generated by operating activities typically increases in each consecutive quarter throughout the fiscal year, with the fourth quarter being the highest and the first quarter being the lowest, which may even be negative. The timing of cash generated during the fiscal year is affected by many factors, including the timing of new or renewed contracts and the associated billings, as well as the timing of any customer financing or transfer of our interest in such contractual installments. Other factors that influence the levels of cash generated throughout the quarter can include the level and timing of expenditures.

Second Quarter Comparison — Fiscal Year 2011 versus Fiscal Year 2010
Operating Activities:
Cash generated by operating activities for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $130 million, representing an increase of $10 million compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2010. This growth reflects a year-over-year increase in single installment payments, which were $124 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with $64 million in the year-ago period. The second quarter of fiscal 2011 also reflected an increase in vendor disbursements and payroll of $77 million, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2010, primarily due to our fiscal 2010 acquisitions.
Investing Activities:
Cash used in investing activities for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $62 million, compared with $69 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the decrease of $19 million in capitalized software development costs and the receipt of $10 million in cash proceeds from the sale of an equity investment. These amounts were offset by an increase of $17 million in cash paid for acquisitions during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
Financing Activities:
Cash used in financing activities for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $124 million compared with $67 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily

39


 

due to the increase of $55 million in common shares repurchased during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
First Half Comparison — Fiscal Year 2011 versus Fiscal Year 2010
Operating Activities:
Cash generated by operating activities for the first half of fiscal 2011 was $247 million, representing a decrease of $135 million compared with the first half of fiscal 2010. For the first half of fiscal 2011, gross receipts related to single installments for the entire contract value or a substantial portion of the contract value were $214 million, compared with $228 million in the first half of fiscal 2010. Vendor disbursements and payroll increased $121 million in the first half of fiscal 2011, compared with the first half of fiscal 2010, primarily attributable to personnel related costs associated with our fiscal 2010 acquisitions.
Investing Activities:
Cash used in investing activities for the first half of fiscal 2011 was $138 million compared with $136 million for the first half of fiscal 2010. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the increase of $23 million in cash paid for acquisitions that occurred in the first half of fiscal 2011, compared with the first half of fiscal 2010, which was partially offset by a decrease in capitalized development costs of $14 million.
Financing Activities:
Cash used in financing activities for the first half of fiscal 2011 was $199 million compared with $89 million in the first half of fiscal 2010. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the increase of $110 million in common shares repurchased during the first half of fiscal 2011, compared with the first half of fiscal 2010.
Debt Obligations
As of September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, our debt obligations consisted of the following:

Total
          $ 1,567             $ 1,545  
 
                           
Our debt obligations at September 30, 2010 remain unchanged from March 31, 2010, except for the fair value adjustment of $29 million relating to our interest rates swaps on our 6.125% Senior Notes due December 2014.
For additional information concerning our debt obligations, refer to our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our 2010 Form 10-K.
Other Matters
As of September 30, 2010, our senior unsecured notes were rated Baa2 (stable outlook), BBB (positive outlook), and BBB+ (stable outlook) by Moody’s Investors Service, Standard and Poor’s and Fitch Ratings, respectively. In August 2010, Moody’s upgraded our rating to Baa2.
Peak borrowings under all debt facilities during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled $1,567 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 4%.
As of September 30, 2010, we remained authorized to purchase an aggregate amount of up to $365 million of additional common shares under our $500 million stock repurchase program that was approved by our Board of Directors in May 2010.

40


 

We expect that existing cash, cash equivalents, the availability of borrowings under existing and renewable credit lines, and cash expected to be provided from operations will be sufficient to meet ongoing cash requirements. We expect our long-standing history of providing extended payment terms to our customers to continue.
We expect to use existing cash balances and future cash generated from operations to fund capital spending, including our continued investment in our enterprise resource planning implementation, future acquisitions and financing activities such as the repayment of our debt balances as they mature, the payment of dividends, and the potential repurchase of shares of common stock in accordance with any plans approved by our Board of Directors.
Effect of Exchange Rate Changes
There was a $32 million favorable impact to our cash balances in the first half of fiscal 2011 predominantly due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro, the Australian dollar, and the Brazilian real of 1%, 5%, and 6%, respectively.
There was a $156 million favorable impact to our cash balances in the first half of fiscal 2010 predominantly due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro, the Australian dollar, the British pound and the Brazilian real of 10%, 27%, 11% and 31%, respectively.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BUSINESS PRACTICES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our estimates form the basis for making judgments about amounts and timing of revenue and expenses, the carrying values of assets and the recorded amounts of liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such estimates may change if the underlying conditions or assumptions change. Information with respect to our critical accounting policies that we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported results or require subjective or complex judgments by management is contained in our 2010 Form 10-K under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. We believe that at September 30, 2010, there has been no material change to this information.

Item 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to a variety of risks, including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate changes and changes in the market value of our investments. In the normal course of business, we employ established policies and procedures to manage these risks including the use of derivative instruments. There have been no material changes in our financial risk management strategy or our portfolio management strategy, which is described in our 2010 Form 10-K, subsequent to March 31, 2010.
Item 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

During April 2010, we completed the stock repurchase program of $250 million authorized by our Board of Directors on October 29, 2008, by repurchasing approximately 0.8 million shares of our common stock for approximately $19 million.
On May 12, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorizes us to acquire up to $500 million of our common stock. We will fund the program with available cash on hand and repurchase shares on the open market from time to time based on market conditions and other factors.
Under the new program, we have repurchased approximately 7.1 million shares of our common stock for approximately $136 million as of September 30, 2010.
