1. Organization

The Company is a global professional services firm that drives digitally-led innovation and runs digitally-enabled intelligent operations for its clients, guided by its experience running thousands of processes for hundreds of Fortune Global 500 clients.  The Company has over 80,000 employees serving clients in key industry verticals from more than 20 countries. 

 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

 

(a) Basis of preparation and principles of consolidation

 

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for these periods. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and reflect the financial statements of Genpact Limited, a Bermuda company, and all of its subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and controlled. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity but exerts significant influence on the entity, the Company applies the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Non-controlling interest in subsidiaries that is redeemable outside of the Company’s control for cash or other assets is reflected in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity in the consolidated balance sheets at the redeemable value, which approximates fair value. Redeemable non-controlling interest is adjusted to its fair value at each balance sheet date. Any resulting increases or decreases in the estimated redemption amount are affected by corresponding changes to additional paid in capital. The share of non-controlling interest in subsidiary earnings is reflected in net loss (income) attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of income.

 

(b) Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangibles and goodwill, revenue recognition, reserves for doubtful receivables, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, the valuation of derivative financial instruments, measurements of stock-based compensation, assets and obligations related to employee benefits, determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, determining the standalone selling price of performance obligations, variable consideration, and other obligations for revenue recognition

and income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are reasonable. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any changes in estimates are adjusted prospectively in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

(c) Business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets

 

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, by recognizing the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired business, measured at their acquisition date fair values. Contingent consideration is included within the acquisition cost and is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date. A liability resulting from contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value as of each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. All assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses, including goodwill, are assigned to reporting units. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred under selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Goodwill represents the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible net assets purchased. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis on December 31, based on a number of factors, including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. The Company performs an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on the assessment of events or circumstances, the Company performs a quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment if it determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, based on the quantitative impairment analysis, the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of such goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. In addition, the Company performs a qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. See Note 10 for information and related disclosures.

 

Intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other assets or in a business combination and developed internally are carried at cost less accumulated amortization based on their estimated useful lives as follows:

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using a method of amortization that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise realized.

In business combinations where the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible net assets purchased exceeds the cost of the acquired business, the Company recognizes the resulting gain under “Other operating (income) expense, net” in the consolidated statements of income.

 

(d) Financial instruments and concentration of credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are reflected principally in cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments with corporations and banks with high investment grade ratings, limits the amount of credit exposure with any one corporation or bank and conducts ongoing evaluations of the creditworthiness of the corporations and banks with which it does business. To reduce its credit risk on accounts receivable, the Company conducts ongoing credit evaluations of its clients. GE accounted for 11% and 12% of receivables as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018, respectively. GE accounted for 10% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018.   

 

(e) Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced or to be invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Amounts collected on trade accounts receivable are included in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and clients’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables’ aging and current payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its clients.

 

(f) Changes in accounting policies

 

Except as described below, the Company has applied accounting policies consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, effective January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition as detailed below. The Company applied Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method, which involves recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 as an adjustment to the Company’s opening equity balance as of January 1, 2018. Therefore, comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under Topic 605. As a result of the Company’s adoption of this new standard, certain sales incentive programs meet the requirements for capitalization. Such costs are amortized over the period of expected benefit rather than expensed as incurred as was the Company’s prior practice. The cumulative impact of the adoption of this standard resulted in an increase in retained earnings of $17,924 as of January 1, 2018 with a corresponding impact on contract cost assets of $23,227 and deferred tax liabilities of $5,303. As of January 1, 2018, contract assets and contract liabilities of $21,348 relating to the same customer contracts have been offset against each other.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives its revenue primarily from business process outsourcing and information technology services, which are provided primarily on a time-and-material, transaction or fixed-price basis. The Company recognizes revenue when the promised services are delivered to customers for an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. Revenues from services rendered under time-and-material and transaction-based contracts are recognized as the services are provided. The Company’s fixed-price contracts include contracts for application development, maintenance and support services. Revenues from these contracts are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. The Company accrues for revenue and unbilled receivables for services rendered between the last billing date and the balance sheet date.

 

The Company’s customer contracts sometimes also include incentive payments received for discrete benefits delivered or promised to be delivered to clients or service level agreements that could result in credits or refunds to the customer. Revenues relating to such arrangements are accounted for as variable consideration when the amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur.

 

The Company records deferred revenue attributable to certain process transition activities where such activities do not represent separate performance obligations. Revenues relating to such transition activities are classified under contract liabilities and subsequently recognized ratably over the period in which the related services are performed. Costs relating to such transition activities are fulfillment costs which are directly related to the contract and result in the generation or enhancement of resources. Such costs are expected to be recoverable under the contract and are therefore classified as contract cost assets and recognized ratably over the estimated expected period of benefit under cost of revenue.

 

Revenues are reported net of value-added tax, business tax and applicable discounts and allowances. Reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses received from clients have been included as part of revenues.

 

Revenue for performance obligations that are satisfied over time is recognized in accordance with the methods prescribed for measuring progress. The input (effort or cost expended) method has been used to measure progress towards completion as there is a direct relationship between input and productivity. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates.

 

The Company enters into multiple-element revenue arrangements in which a client may purchase a combination of products or services. Revenue from multiple-element arrangements is recognized, for each element, based on an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone basis.

 

Certain contracts may include offerings such as sale of licenses, which may be perpetual or subscription-based. Revenue from distinct perpetual licenses is recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer. Revenue from subscription-based licenses is recognized ratably over the subscription term.

 

All incremental and direct costs incurred for acquiring contracts, such as certain sales commissions, are classified as contract cost assets. Such costs are amortized over the expected period of benefit and recorded under selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Other upfront fees paid to customers are classified as contract assets. Such costs are amortized over the expected period of benefit and recorded as an adjustment to the transaction price and subtracted from revenue.

 

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing. If a payment is received in respect of services prior to the delivery of services, the payment is recognized as an advance from customers and classified as a contract liability. Contract assets and contract liabilities relating to the same customer contract are offset against each other and presented on a net basis in the consolidated financial statements. See note 19 for information and related disclosures regarding contract balances.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

 

For a description of the Company’s revenue recognition accounting policy in effect before the Company’s adoption of ASC 606, see Note 2—“Summary of significant accounting policies” to the consolidated financial statements and Part II, Item 7—“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”—“Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Significant judgements

 

The Company often enters into contracts with customers that include promises to transfer multiple products and services to the customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately rather than together may require significant judgment.

 

Judgment is also required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. In instances where the standalone selling price is not directly observable, it is determined using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs.

 

Customer contracts sometimes include incentive payments received for discrete benefits delivered to clients or service level agreements that could result in credits or refunds to the customer. Such amounts are estimated at contract inception and are adjusted at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

 

(g) Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

The authoritative bodies release standards and guidance which are assessed by management for their impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company has adopted the following recently released accounting standards:

 

The Company adopted Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, with a date of initial application of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The cumulative impact of the adoption of this standard has been described in section (f) above.

 

In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The new standard provides guidance to “allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.” The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years, and the guidance may be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. Early adoption is permitted. On January 1, 2018, the Company elected the early adoption of ASU 2018-02, which was adopted at the beginning of the period and no prior periods have been adjusted.

 

In addition, the Company has adopted the following recently released accounting standards. Adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position or disclosures:

 

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in this update clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. An entity performing the assessment under the amendments in this update is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with a four-step decision sequence.

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The new guidance revises the definition of a business. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting (e.g., acquisitions, disposals, goodwill impairment, consolidation).

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-16, “Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory.” The new guidance eliminates the exception for deferment of tax recognition until the transferred asset is sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use for all intra-entity sales of assets other than inventory.

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” The ASU requires entities to (1) disaggregate the current-service-cost component from the other components of net benefit cost (the “other components”) and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement and (2) present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if that subtotal is presented. In addition, the

(Unaudited)

(In thousands, except per share data and share count)

 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

 

ASU requires entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the other components if they are not presented on appropriately described separate lines.

 

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company early adopted FASB ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows.

 

The following recently released accounting standards have not yet been adopted by the Company:

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases.” The core principle of the ASU is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from its leases other than those that meet the definition of a short-term lease. The ASU requires extensive qualitative and quantitative disclosures, including with respect to significant judgments made by management. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-13, in September 2017, which amends and clarifies ASU 2016-02. The ASU will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019, including interim periods in the fiscal year 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will use a modified retrospective adoption approach. The Company expects to complete its assessment of adopting ASU No. 2016-02 in the third quarter of 2018. The Company’s implementation efforts include reviewing existing leases and service contracts, which may include embedded leases. The Company expects a gross-up on its consolidated statements of financial position upon recognition of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2016-02, which may identify additional impacts this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position and disclosures.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of credit losses on financial instruments.” The ASU requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held by the Company. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, including interim periods in fiscal year 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position and disclosures.

 

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The amendment expands an entity’s ability to hedge accounting to non-financial and financial risk components and requires changes in fair value of hedging instruments to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The ASU also amends the presentation and disclosure requirements for the effect of hedge accounting. The ASU must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the initial application date. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019, including interim periods in the fiscal year 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position and disclosures.

 

(h) Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in the consolidated financial statements of prior periods to conform to the classification used in the current period. The impact of such reclassifications on the consolidated financial statements is not material.

3. Business acquisitions

 

A. Certain acquisitions

 

(a) Strategic Sourcing Excellence Limited

 

On January 8, 2016, the Company acquired 51% of the outstanding equity interest in Strategic Sourcing Excellence LLC (“SSE”), a Delaware limited liability company. The total consideration paid by the Company to the selling equity holders for the acquired interest in SSE was $14,541. This amount includes the fair value of earn-out consideration, cash consideration of $2,550, adjusted for working capital, transaction expenses, indebtedness and measurement period adjustments which did not have a significant impact on the Company’ consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or cash flows in the adjustment periods. The equity purchase agreement between the Company and the selling equity holders of SSE also provided for contingent earn-out consideration of up to $20,000, payable by the Company to the selling equity holders based on the future performance of the acquired business relative to the thresholds specified in the earn-out calculation. Up to $9,800 of the total potential earn-out consideration, representing the selling equity holders’ redeemable, non-controlling 49% interest in SSE, was payable only if either the put or call option, each as described below, was exercised. This acquisition enhanced the Company’s sourcing and procurement consulting domain expertise.

 

The equity purchase agreement granted the Company a call option to purchase the remaining 49% equity interest in SSE, which the Company had the right to exercise between January 1, 2018 and January 31, 2018. As the Company did not exercise its call option during such period, the selling equity holders exercised their put option on March 1, 2018 in accordance with the terms of the equity purchase agreement to require the Company to purchase their 49% interest in SSE for $2,950. The Company also paid $1,780 in earn-out consideration to the selling equity holders during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The amount paid in excess of carrying amount has been recorded in additional paid-in capital.

 

Acquisition-related costs of $164 have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred. Through this transaction, the Company acquired assets with a value of $412 and assumed liabilities amounting to $617. The results of operations of the acquired business, the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, and redeemable non-controlling interest are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements with effect from the date of the acquisition.

 

In connection with the transaction, the Company recorded $300 in customer-related intangible assets with an amortization period of five years. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounted to $14,445, which has been allocated to the Company’s India reporting unit and is deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill represents future economic benefits the Company expects to derive from its expanded presence in the sourcing and procurement consulting domains, operating synergies and other anticipated benefits of combining the acquired operations with those of the Company.

 

(b) TandemSeven, Inc.

 

On September 5, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interest in TandemSeven, Inc. (“TandemSeven”), a Massachusetts corporation, for total purchase consideration of $35,637. This amount includes cash consideration of $31,784, net of cash acquired of $3,853, and an adjustment for working capital and indebtedness. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded certain measurement period adjustments. These adjustments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or cash flows. TandemSeven’s focus on improving the design of customer experiences complements the Company’s existing capabilities aimed at transforming clients’ processes end-to-end.

3. Business acquisitions (Continued)

 

In connection with the acquisition of TandemSeven, the Company recorded $2,000 in customer-related intangibles, $1,700 in marketing-related intangibles and $800 in technology-related intangible assets, which have a weighted average amortization period of two years. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounted to $25,227, which has been allocated to the Company’s India reporting unit and is deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill represents primarily the acquired design expertise, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the acquired operations with those of the Company.

 

Acquisition-related costs of $932 have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred. In connection with the transaction, the Company also acquired certain assets with a value of $7,378, assumed certain liabilities amounting to $1,207 and recognized a net deferred tax liability of $260. The results of operations of the acquired business and the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements with effect from the date of the acquisition.

 

(c) BrightClaim LLC and associated companies

 

On May 3, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interest in each of BrightClaim LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, BrightServe LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, National Vendor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and BrightClaim Blocker, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively referred to as “BrightClaim”) for total purchase consideration of $56,461. This amount includes cash consideration of $52,395, net of cash acquired of $4,002, adjusted for working capital, net debt, transaction expenses and measurement period adjustments which did not have a significant impact on the Company’ consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or cash flows in the period of adjustments. This acquisition enhanced the Company’s breadth and depth of service offerings for clients in the insurance industry.

 

In connection with the acquisition of BrightClaim, the Company recorded $8,000 in customer-related intangibles, $3,200 in marketing related intangibles, $2,200 in technology-related intangibles and $200 in other intangibles, which have a weighted average amortization period of four years. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounted to $42,638, which has been allocated to the Company’s India reporting unit and is partially deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill represents primarily the capabilities, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the acquired operations with those of the Company.

 

Acquisition-related costs of $1,563 have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred. In connection with the transaction, the Company also acquired certain assets with a value of $10,367, assumed certain liabilities amounting to $7,415, and recognized a net deferred tax liability of $2,728. The results of operations of the acquired business and the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements with effect from the date of the acquisition.

7. Derivative financial instruments

 

The Company is exposed to the risk of rate fluctuations on its foreign currency assets and liabilities and on foreign currency denominated forecasted cash flows and interest rate. The Company has established risk management policies, including the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency assets and liabilities, foreign currency denominated forecasted cash flows and interest rate risk. These derivative financial instruments are largely deliverable and non-deliverable forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. The Company enters into these contracts with counterparties that are banks or other financial institutions, and the Company considers the risk of non-performance by such counterparties not to be material. The forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps mature during a period of up to 54 months and the forecasted transactions are expected to occur during the same period.

 

The following table presents the aggregate notional principal amounts of outstanding derivative financial instruments together with the related balance sheet exposure: 

 

 

 

FASB guidance on derivatives and hedging requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. In accordance with the FASB guidance on derivatives and hedging, the Company designates foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. Foreign exchange forward contracts are entered into to cover the effects of future exchange rate variability on forecasted revenues and purchases of services, and interest rate swaps are entered into to cover interest rate fluctuation risk. In addition to this program, the Company uses derivative instruments that are not accounted for as hedges under the FASB guidance in order to hedge foreign exchange risks related to balance sheet items, such as receivables and intercompany borrowings, that are denominated in currencies other than the Company’s underlying functional currency.

Under the 2007 Omnibus Plan, shares underlying options forfeited, expired, terminated or cancelled under any of the Company’s predecessor plans were added to the number of shares otherwise available for grant under the 2007 Omnibus Plan. The 2007 Omnibus Plan was amended and restated on April 11, 2012 to increase the number of common shares authorized for issuance by 5,593,200 shares to 15,000,000 shares.

On May 9, 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the Genpact Limited 2017 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2017 Omnibus Plan”), pursuant to which 15,000,000 Company common shares are available for issuance. No grants may be made under the 2007 Omnibus Plan after the date of adoption of the 2017 Omnibus Plan.  Grants that were outstanding under the 2007 Omnibus Plan as of the date of Company’s adoption of the 2017 Omnibus Plan remain subject to the terms of the 2007 Omnibus Plan.

Stock-based compensation costs relating to the foregoing plans during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2018 were $12,078 and $18,343, respectively, and for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 were $7,233 and $10,746, respectively.

Stock options

 

All options granted under the 2007 and 2017 Omnibus Plans are exercisable into common shares of the Company, have a contractual period of ten years and vest over four to five years unless specified otherwise in the applicable award agreement. The Company recognizes compensation cost over the vesting period of the option.

 

Compensation cost is determined at the date of grant by estimating the fair value of an option using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

The following table shows the significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of options granted in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2018.

A summary of stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2018 is set out below:

 

  (a) Options expected to vest reflect an estimated forfeiture rate.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the total remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation cost for options expected to vest amounted to $25,160, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite vesting period of 4.4 years.

Restricted share units

The Company has granted restricted share units, or RSUs, under the 2007 and 2017 Omnibus Plans. Each RSU represents the right to receive one common share. The fair value of each RSU is the market price of one common share of the Company on the date of the grant. The RSUs granted to date have graded vesting schedules of three months to four years. The compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. A summary of RSU activity during the six months ended June 30, 2018 is set out below:

 

 

 

52,482 RSUs vested in the year ended December 31, 2016, in respect of which 52,055 shares were issued during the six months ended June 30, 2018 after withholding shares to the extent of minimum statutory withholding taxes.

As of June 30, 2018, the total remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to RSUs amounted to $22,709, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite vesting period of 2.4 years.

 

Performance units

 

The Company also grants stock awards in the form of performance units, or PUs, and has granted PUs under both the 2007 and 2017 Omnibus Plans.

 

Each PU represents the right to receive one common share at a future date based on the Company’s performance against specified targets. PUs granted to date have vesting schedules of six months to three years. The fair value of each PU is the market price of one common share of the Company on the date of grant and assumes that performance targets will be achieved. PUs granted under the plans are subject to cliff vesting. The compensation expense for such awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting terms. During the performance period, the Company’s estimate of the number of shares to be issued is adjusted upward or downward based upon the probability of achievement of the performance targets. The ultimate number of shares issued and the related compensation cost recognized is based on a comparison of the final performance metrics to the specified targets.

 

A summary of PU activity during the six months ended June 30, 2018 is set out below:

 

 

 

As of June 30, 2018, the total remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to PUs amounted to $56,414, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining requisite vesting period of 2.3 years.

Under the program, shares may be purchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

On March 29, 2017, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (the “Dealer”) to repurchase Company common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000. Pursuant to the ASR agreement, as amended in November 2017, the Company paid the aggregate purchase price to the Dealer upfront and received an initial delivery of 6,578,947 common shares on March 30, 2017, an additional delivery of 350,006 common shares on December 29, 2017 and a final delivery of 163,975 common shares on January 17, 2018 upon final settlement of the transaction. The weighted average price per share of the common shares delivered was $28.20. The Company’s purchase of its common shares under the ASR has been recorded as a reduction in retained earnings. All repurchased shares have been retired.

 

The final number of common shares repurchased by the Company under the ASR agreement was based on the volume-weighted average share price of the Company’s common shares during the term of the transaction, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms of the ASR agreement.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2018, the Company also purchased 808,293 and 4,114,882 of its common shares, respectively, on the open market at a weighted average price of $24.48 and $31.62 per share, respectively, for an aggregate cash amount of $19,784 and $130,103, respectively. All repurchased shares have been retired.

 

The Company records repurchases of its common shares on the settlement date of each transaction. Shares purchased and retired are deducted to the extent of their par value from common stock and from retained earnings for the excess over par value. Direct costs incurred to acquire the shares are included in the total cost of the shares purchased. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2018, $16 and $82, respectively, was deducted from retained earnings in direct costs related to share repurchases.

 

Dividend

 

In February 2017, the Company’s board of directors approved a dividend program under which the Company paid a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share to holders of its common shares, representing an annual dividend of $0.24 per share. On March 28, 2017 and June 28, 2017, the Company paid dividends of $0.06 per share, amounting to $11,957 and $11,558 in the aggregate, to shareholders of record as of March 10, 2017 and June 12, 2017, respectively.

 

On February 12, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a 25% increase in its quarterly cash dividend to $0.075 per share, up from $0.06 per share in 2017, representing a planned annual dividend of $0.30 per common share, up from $0.24 per share in 2017, payable to holders of the Company’s common shares. On March 21, 2018 and June 20, 2018, the Company paid dividends of $0.075 per share, amounting to $14,408 and $14,240 in the aggregate, to shareholders of record as of March 9, 2018 and June 8, 2018, respectively.

18. Earnings per share

 

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with FASB guidance on earnings per share. Basic and diluted earnings per common share give effect to the change in the number of Company common shares outstanding. The calculation of basic earnings per common share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. Potentially dilutive shares, consisting of outstanding options on common shares, restricted share units, performance units and common shares to be issued under the employee stock purchase plan, have been included in the computation of diluted net earnings per share and the weighted average shares outstanding, except where the result would be anti-dilutive.

 

The number of stock awards outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their effect was anti-dilutive is 1,127,185 and 1,465,442 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively, and 1,251,323 and 2,270,885 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

24. Income taxes

 

The Company determines its tax provision for interim periods using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if its estimated tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment.

 

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code. The Tax Act also establishes new tax laws that will affect 2018 and subsequent years, including a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%.

 

On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. 

 

The Company’s estimate of transition tax on mandatory repatriation introduced under the Tax Act was provisional as of December 31, 2017 and remains provisional as of June 30, 2018 based on information available as of June 30, 2018. The Company has not recorded any tax liability for transition tax as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 pending the calculation of the earnings and profit pool of its controlled foreign corporations. The Company will recognize any changes to provisional amounts as it refines its estimates and interpretations of the application of the Tax Act. The Company expects to complete its analysis of the provisional items during the second half of 2018. The effects of other provisions of the Tax Act are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

24. Income taxes (Continued)

 

The Company reports its gain/loss on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, actuarial gain/loss on retirement benefits and currency translation adjustment, net of taxes to the extent applicable, in accumulated other comprehensive

income. The Company follows the specific identification approach for releasing stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) upon recognition of these AOCI items in the statement of income.

 

As of December 31, 2017, due to a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate under the Tax Act, the Company revalued its net deferred tax assets, including deferred tax liabilities recorded through AOCI. Based on this revaluation, the Company recorded a tax gain of $2,265 relating to derivatives, reducing its net deferred tax liability balance, which was recorded as an income tax benefit in continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

In the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2018-02, effective January 1, 2018, and made an election to reclassify the stranded income tax effects of the Tax Act from AOCI to retained earnings for all items of AOCI. The Company has elected to adopt the new guidance at the beginning of the period, and no prior periods have been adjusted. Accordingly, a stranded tax effect in AOCI of $2,265 resulting from the Tax Act has been adjusted through retained earnings.

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits amounting to $26,060, including an amount of $24,877, which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate.

 

The following table summarizes activities related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018: 

 

The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2018 include an amount of $23,254, which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had accrued approximately $4,634 and $4,614, respectively, in interest relating to unrecognized tax benefits. During the year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018, the company recognized approximately $(224) and $345, respectively, excluding the impact of exchange rate differences, in interest on unrecognized tax benefits. As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018, the Company had accrued approximately $1,033 and $951, respectively, for penalties.

These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance, which in some cases may be based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In particular, you should consider the numerous risks outlined in Part I, Item 1A—“Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are reasonable at the time they are made, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties, and potentially inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could differ materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. You should bear this in mind as you consider forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this filing to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K reports to the SEC.

Acquisitions

On January 8, 2016, we acquired 51% of the outstanding equity interest in Strategic Sourcing Excellence LLC (“SSE”), a Delaware limited liability company, for total consideration of $14.5 million. This amount includes the fair value of earn-out consideration and cash consideration of $2.6 million, adjusted for working capital, transaction expenses, indebtedness and measurement period adjustments, which did not have a significant impact on the our consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or cash flows in the periods in which the adjustments were made. This acquisition strengthens our procurement consulting, transformation and strategic sourcing capabilities. The equity purchase agreement between us and the selling equity holders provides for contingent earn-out consideration of up to $20.0 million, payable by us to the selling equity holders based on the performance of SSE following closing relative to the thresholds specified in the earn-out calculation. Up to $9.8 million of the total potential earn-out consideration, representing the selling equity holders’ 49% interest in SSE, was payable by us to the selling equity holders only if either the put or call option, each as described below, was exercised. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounted to $14.4 million, which has been allocated to our India reporting unit and is deductible for tax purposes.  The equity purchase agreement granted us a call option to purchase the remaining 49% equity interest in SSE, which option we had the right to exercise between January 1, 2018 and January 31, 2018. Since we did not exercise our call option during such period, the selling equity holders exercised their put option on March 1, 2018 in accordance with the terms of the equity purchase agreement to require us to purchase their 49% interest in SSE for $3.0 million. We also paid the selling equity holders $1.8 million in earn-out consideration in the first quarter of 2018. The amount we paid in excess of the carrying amount has been recorded in additional paid-in capital. The goodwill represents future economic benefits we expect to derive from our expanded presence in the sourcing and procurement consulting domains, operating synergies and other anticipated benefits of combining the acquired operations with our existing operations.

On September 5, 2017, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interest in TandemSeven, Inc. (“TandemSeven”), a Massachusetts corporation, for estimated total purchase consideration of $35.6 million. This amount includes cash consideration of $31.8 million, net of cash acquired of $3.9 million, and an adjustment for working capital and indebtedness. TandemSeven’s focus on improving the design of customer experiences complements our existing capabilities aimed at transforming clients’ processes end-to-end. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounted to $25.2 million, which has been allocated to our India reporting unit and is deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill represents primarily the acquired expertise, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the acquired operations with our existing operations.

On May 3, 2017, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interest in each of BrightClaim LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, BrightServe LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, National Vendor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and BrightClaim Blocker, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively referred to as “BrightClaim”). The total purchase consideration for the acquisition of BrightClaim was $56.5 million. This amount includes cash consideration of $52.4 million, net of cash acquired of $4.0 million, adjusted for working capital, net debt, transaction expenses and measurement period adjustments which did not have a significant impact on our consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or cash flows in the applicable adjustment periods. This acquisition enhances our breadth and depth of service offerings for clients in the insurance industry. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounted to $42.6 million, which has been allocated to our India reporting unit and is partially deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill represents primarily the capabilities, operating synergies and other benefits expected to be derived from combining the acquired operations with our existing operations.

On April 13, 2017, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interest in RAGE Frameworks, Inc. (“RAGE”), a Delaware corporation for total purchase consideration of $125.3 million. This amount includes cash consideration of $124.1 million, net of cash acquired of $1.6 million, and an adjustment for working capital and indebtedness. This acquisition enhances our digital and artificial intelligence capabilities by adding knowledge-based automation technology and services. Goodwill arising from the acquisition amounted to $105.5 million, which has been allocated to our India reporting unit and is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill represents primarily the acquired digital and artificial intelligence capabilities, operating synergies and other benefits expected to be derived from combining the acquired operations with our existing operations.

During 2017, we also completed five individually immaterial business acquisition transactions, namely the acquisition of a supply chain management delivery center in the U.S. (“U.S. Delivery Center”), the purchase of all of the outstanding equity interest in OnSource, LLC (“OnSource”), the purchase of the IT business of Birlasoft (“Birlasoft”), the purchase of the image processing business of Fiserv Solutions of Australia Pty Ltd. (“Fiserv”) and the purchase of all of the outstanding equity interest in Lease Dimensions, Inc. (“Lease Dimensions”). The aggregate total estimated consideration to consummate these acquisitions was $87.6 million. This aggregate amount includes the estimated fair value of contingent earn-out consideration, cash consideration of $76.6 million, net of cash acquired of $0.3 million, and

adjustments for closing date working capital, indebtedness, value transfer, seller transaction expenses and certain employee-related liabilities. In addition, this amount reflects measurement period adjustments related to the Birlasoft and Fiserv transactions. These adjustments did not have a significant impact on our consolidated statements of income, balance sheets or cash flows in the periods in which the adjustments were made.

The U.S. Delivery Center acquisition enhances our supply chain management capabilities for clients in the consumer packaged goods industry. The OnSource acquisition brings incremental digital capabilities to our insurance service offerings. The Birlasoft transaction expands our end-to-end capabilities for clients in the healthcare and aviation industries. The Fiserv transaction strengthens our financial services portfolio and expands our Australia footprint. The Lease Dimensions acquisition enhances our capabilities in commercial lending and leasing.

The purchase agreement for the acquisition of the U.S. Delivery Center provides for contingent earn-out consideration ranging from $0 to $10.0 million, payable by us to the seller based on the achievement of certain milestones relative to the thresholds specified in the earn-out calculation. The purchase agreement for the Lease Dimensions acquisition provides for contingent earn-out consideration ranging from $0 to $3.0 million, payable by us to the sellers based on the performance of the business following closing relative to the thresholds specified in the earn-out calculation.

Goodwill arising from these acquisitions amounted to $56.5 million. This goodwill represents primarily the capabilities, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the acquired operations with our existing operations. The following table sets forth, with respect to each of the five acquisitions, the acquisition date, goodwill reporting unit and goodwill deductibility for tax purposes:

 

 

On July 16, 2018, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire the outstanding equity interests in Barkawi Management Consultants GmbH & Co. KG and certain related entities (collectively referred to as “Barkawi”) for estimated cash consideration of $100.1 million, subject to certain adjustments. The closing of the transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions. Barkawi is a leading supply chain management consulting business.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net revenues. Our net revenues were $728.6 million in the second quarter of 2018, up $57.9 million, or 8.6%, from $670.7 million in the second quarter of 2017. The growth in our net revenues was driven primarily by an increase in business process outsourcing, or BPO, services – including our transformation services – delivered to our Global Clients, and incremental revenue from acquisitions completed in 2017. Adjusted for foreign exchange, primarily the impact of changes in the value of the euro against the U.S. dollar, our net revenues grew 8% compared to the second quarter of 2017 on a constant currency basis. Revenue growth on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure. We provide information about our revenue growth on a constant currency basis so that our revenue may be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Total net revenues on a constant currency basis are calculated by restating current-period activity using the prior fiscal period’s foreign currency exchange rates and adjusted for hedging gains/losses.

Our average headcount increased by 4.3% to approximately 78,400 in the second quarter of 2018 from approximately 75,200 in the second quarter of 2017.

 

 

Net revenues from Global Clients in the second quarter of 2018 were $663.1 million, up $55.6 million, or 9.2%, from $607.5 million in the second quarter of 2017. This increase was primarily driven by growth in several of our chosen verticals, including banking and financial services, high tech and infrastructure, manufacturing and services. As a percentage of total net revenues, net revenues from Global Clients increased from 90.6% in the second quarter of 2017 to 91.0% in the second quarter of 2018.

Net revenues from GE in the second quarter of 2018 were $65.4 million, up $2.3 million, or 3.6%, from the second quarter of 2017. The increase is attributable to a large IT services engagement with GE which more than offset the impact of a decline in services delivered to certain GE businesses in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. Prior to 2016, we reclassified revenues from GE-divested businesses as Global Client revenues in each fiscal quarter beginning on the dates of divestiture. However, beginning with 2016, we reclassify such revenue as Global Client revenue only at the end of each fiscal year. We believe that this change allows us to provide a more consistent view of quarterly trends underlying our Global Client and GE businesses. Net revenues from GE declined as a percentage of our total net revenues from 9.4% in the second quarter of 2017 to 9.0% in the second quarter of 2018.

Net revenues from BPO services in the second quarter of 2018 were $605.9 million, up $49.7 million, or 8.9%, from $556.2 million in the second quarter of 2017. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in services delivered to our Global Clients, particularly transformation services. Net revenues from IT services were $122.7 million in the second quarter of 2018, up $8.2 million, or 7.1%, from $114.5 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Net revenues from BPO services as a percentage of total net revenues increased to 83.2% in the second quarter of 2018 from 82.9% in the second quarter of 2017, with a corresponding decline in the percentage of total net revenues attributable to IT services.

Cost of revenue and gross margin. The following table sets forth the components of our cost of revenue and the resulting gross margin:

 

 

Cost of revenue was $462.9 million in the second quarter of 2018, up $48.4 million, or 11.7%, from the second quarter of 2017. Wage inflation, increases in our operational headcount, including in the number of onshore personnel, incremental expenses from acquisitions completed in 2017, the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange on our expenditures in certain currencies, primarily the Indian rupee and U.K. pound sterling, and higher stock-based compensation expense contributed to the increase in cost of revenue in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates result in gains and losses on our foreign currency hedges and a translation impact when we convert our non-U.S. dollar income statement items to the U.S. dollar, our reporting currency. These increases were partially offset by improved operational efficiencies in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017.

Our gross margin decreased from 38.2% in the second quarter of 2017 to 36.5% in the second quarter of 2018 due to the factors described above and a reduction in the utilization of personnel.

Personnel expenses. Personnel expenses as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 42.4% in the second quarter of 2017 to 44.3% in the second quarter of 2018. Personnel expenses in the second quarter of 2018 were $322.8 million, up $38.2 million, or 13.4%, from $284.6 million in the second quarter of 2017. The impact of wage inflation, incremental expenses from acquisitions consummated in 2017, an approximately 1,800-person, or 2.7%, increase in our operational headcount, including in the number of onshore personnel, and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange all contributed to higher personnel expenses in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. Higher stock-based compensation expense also resulted in higher personnel expenses in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017.

Operational expenses. Operational expenses as a percentage of total net revenues decreased from 17.8% in the second quarter of 2017 to 17.4% in the second quarter of 2018. Operational expenses in the second quarter of 2018 were $127.1 million, up $7.5 million, or 6.3%, from the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to incremental expenses from acquisitions completed in 2017 and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. The increase in operational expenses was partially offset by improved operational efficiencies and lower IT expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 1.5% in the second quarter of 2017 to 1.8% in the second quarter of 2018. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a component of cost of revenue were $13.0 million, up $2.6 million, or 25.4%, from the second quarter of 2017. This increase was primarily due to the expansion of certain existing facilities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The following table sets forth the components of our selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses:

 

 

62

---

 

SG&A expenses as a percentage of total net revenues decreased from 25.0% in the second quarter of 2017 to 24.2% in the second quarter of 2018. SG&A expenses were $176.2 million, up $8.4 million, or 5.0%, from the second quarter of 2017. Incremental expenses from acquisitions completed in 2017, higher stock-based compensation expenses, an increase in marketing expenditures, incremental sales headcount and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange on our expenses in certain currencies, primarily the Indian rupee and U.K. pound sterling, all contributed to higher SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. These increases were partially offset by cost efficiencies in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. Our sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total net revenues in the second quarter of 2018 were approximately 7.3%, marginally higher than in the second quarter of 2017.

Personnel expenses. As a percentage of total net revenues, personnel expenses decreased from 18.3% in the second quarter of 2017 to 17.4% in the second quarter of 2018. Personnel expenses as a component of SG&A expenses were $126.6 million, up $4.1 million, or 3.3%, from the second quarter of 2017. This increase is primarily due to incremental expenses from acquisitions completed in 2017, wage inflation, and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. Higher stock-based compensation expense also resulted in higher personnel expenses in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017.

Operational expenses. As a percentage of total net revenues, operational expenses were 6.4% in the second quarter of 2018, unchanged from the second quarter of 2017. Operational expenses as a component of SG&A expenses were $46.9 million, up $4.1 million, or 9.5%, from the second quarter of 2017. This increase is primarily due to incremental expenses from acquisitions consummated in 2017, an increase in marketing expenditures and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. These increases were partially offset by cost efficiencies and lower infrastructure and travel expenses in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of total net revenues were 0.4% in the second quarter of 2018, unchanged from the second quarter of 2017. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a component of SG&A expenses were $2.6 million, up $0.3 million, or 11.6%, from the second quarter of 2017.

Amortization of acquired intangibles. Non-cash charges on account of amortization of acquired intangibles were $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2018, up $1.4 million, or 17.2%, from the second quarter of 2017. This increase was primarily due to the amortization of intangibles acquired after the second quarter of 2017.

Other operating (income) expense, net. The following table sets forth the components of other operating (income) expense, net:

 

 

Other operating expense, net of income, was $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to other operating income of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2017. We recorded a gain of $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to a $0.1 million gain in the second quarter of 2018, primarily as a result of partially writing back certain liabilities. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2017 we recorded an expense of $1.7 million due to changes in the fair value of earn-out consideration payable in connection with certain acquisitions, compared to a gain of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2018. We also recorded a $0.9 million non-recurring charge relating to a computer software and technology-related intangible asset, which charge we discuss in Note 9—“Property, plant and equipment, net” under Part I, Item 1—“Financial Statements” above. No such charge was recorded in the second quarter of 2017.

Income from operations. As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations as a percentage of total net revenues decreased from 12.1% in the second quarter of 2017 to 10.9% in the second quarter of 2018. Income from

63

operations decreased by $1.4 million to $79.5 million in the second quarter of 2018 from $81.0 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Foreign exchange gains (losses), net. Foreign exchange gains (losses), net represents the impact of the re-measurement of our non-functional currency assets and liabilities and related foreign exchange contracts. We recorded a net foreign exchange gain of $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2017. The gain in the second quarter of 2018 resulted primarily from the depreciation of the Indian rupee and the U.K. pound sterling against the U.S. dollar. The gain in the second quarter of 2017 resulted primarily from the appreciation of the euro and the Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar.

Interest income (expense), net. The following table sets forth the components of interest income (expense), net:

 

 

Our net interest expense increased by $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to a $1.5 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by an increase in interest income. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to (i) an increase in LIBOR, resulting in higher interest expense on the term loan under our LIBOR-linked credit facility, partially offset by gains on interest rate swaps in the second quarter of 2018 compared to losses in the second quarter of 2017, which we discuss in the section titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition” below, and (ii) higher drawdown on our revolving credit facility in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. Our interest income increased by $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to higher account balances in India, where we earn higher interest rates on our deposits than in other jurisdictions where we have deposits. The weighted average rate of interest on our debt, including the net impact of interest rate swaps, increased from 2.9% in the second quarter of 2017 to 3.2% in the second quarter of 2018.

Other income (expense), net. The following table sets forth the components of other income (expense), net:

 

 

Our net other income was $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2018, down $0.9 million from $11.6 million in the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to lower income recorded in connection with an export subsidy in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. This subsidy was introduced under the Foreign Trade Policy of India to encourage the export of specified services from India and is currently available for eligible export services through March 31, 2019.

Equity-method investment activity, net. Equity-method investment activity, net primarily represents our share of loss in one of our non-consolidated affiliates that we divested on June 30, 2017.

Income tax expense. Our income tax expense was $17.1 million in the second quarter of 2018, up from $15.5 million in the second quarter of 2017, representing an effective tax rate, or ETR, of 20.9%, up from 18.3% in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in our ETR is primarily due to certain special economic zone units in India becoming partially taxable

in the second quarter of 2018, a change in the jurisdictional mix of our income quarter-over-quarter and the absence in the second quarter of 2018 of certain discrete benefits that we recorded in the second quarter of 2017.

Net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest. Non-controlling interest primarily refers to the loss associated with the redeemable non-controlling interest in the operations of SSE, which we acquired in the first quarter of 2016. We purchased the remaining share of the outstanding equity interest in SSE in the first quarter of 2018. See Note 3—“Business acquisitions” under Part I, Item 1—“Financial Statements” above.

Net income attributable to Genpact Limited shareholders. As a result of the foregoing factors, net income attributable to our common shareholders as a percentage of total net revenues was 8.9% in the second quarter of 2018, down from 10.3% in the second quarter of 2017. Net income attributable to our common shareholders decreased by $4.4 million from $68.9 million in the second quarter of 2017 to $64.6 million in the second quarter of 2018.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Net revenues. Our net revenues were $1,417.5 million in first half of 2018, up $123.8 million, or 9.6%, from $1,293.7 million in first half of 2017. The growth in our net revenues was driven by an increase in BPO services – including our transformation services – delivered to our Global Clients, and incremental revenue from acquisitions completed in 2017. Adjusted for foreign exchange, primarily the impact of changes in the value of the euro against the U.S. dollar, our net revenues grew 8% compared to the first half of 2017. Revenue growth on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure. We provide information about our revenue growth on a constant currency basis so that our revenue may be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Total net revenues on a constant currency basis are calculated by restating current-period activity using the prior fiscal period’s foreign currency exchange rates and adjusted for hedging gains/losses.

Our average headcount increased by 3.3% to approximately 77,700 in first half of 2018 from approximately 75,200 in first half of 2017.

 

 

Net revenues from Global Clients in the first half of 2018 were $1,294.0 million, up $132.7 million, or 11.4%, from $1,161.2 million in first half of 2017. This increase was driven by growth in several of our chosen verticals, including banking and financial services, high tech and infrastructure, manufacturing and services. As a percentage of total net revenues, net revenues from Global Clients increased from 89.8% in the first half of 2017 to 91.3% in the first half of 2018.

Net revenues from GE in the first half of 2018 were $123.5 million, down $9.0 million, or 6.8%, from the first half of 2017. The decline in net revenues from GE was largely due to the impact of a decline in services delivered to certain GE businesses and was partially offset by an increase in services delivered to GE in the first half of 2018 under an IT services engagement. Prior to 2016, we reclassified revenues from GE-divested businesses as Global Client revenues in each fiscal quarter beginning on the dates of divestiture. However, beginning with 2016, we reclassify such revenue as Global Client revenue only at the end of each fiscal year. We believe that this change allows us to provide a more consistent view of quarterly trends underlying our Global Client and GE businesses. Net revenues from GE declined as a percentage of our total net revenues from 10.2% in first half of 2017 to 8.7% in first half of 2018.

Net revenues from BPO services in the first half of 2018 were $1,180.0 million, up $112.5 million, or 10.5%, from $1,067.5 million in the first half of 2017. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in services delivered to our Global Clients, particularly transformation services. Net revenues from IT services were $237.5 million in the first half of 2018, up $11.3 million, or 5.0%, from $226.2 million in the first half of 2017.

Net revenues from BPO services as a percentage of total net revenues increased to 83.2% in first half of 2018 from 82.5% in first half of 2017, with a corresponding decline in the percentage of total net revenues attributable to IT services.

Cost of revenue and gross margin. The following table sets forth the components of our cost of revenue and the resulting gross margin:

 

 

Cost of revenue was $907.2 million in the first half of 2018, up $109.4 million, or 13.7%, from the first half of 2017. Wage inflation, increases in our operational headcount, including in the number of onshore personnel, incremental expenses from acquisitions consummated in 2017, the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange on our expenditures in certain currencies, primarily the Indian rupee and U.K. pound sterling, and higher stock-based compensation expense contributed to the increase in cost of revenue in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates result in gains and losses on our foreign currency hedges and a translation impact when we convert our non-U.S. dollar income statement items to the U.S. dollar, our reporting currency. These increases were partially offset by improved operational efficiencies and a decrease in IT expenses in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017.

Our gross margin decreased from 38.3% in the first half of 2017 to 36.0% in the first half of 2018 due to the factors described above and a reduction in the utilization of personnel.

Personnel expenses. Personnel expenses as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 42.8% in the first half of 2017 to 44.7% in the first half of 2018. Personnel expenses were $632.9 million in the first half of 2018, up $79.2 million, or 14.3%, from $553.7 million in the first half of 2017. The impact of wage inflation, incremental expenses from acquisitions completed in 2017,  an approximately 1,200-person, or 1.8%, increase in our operational headcount, including the number of onshore personnel, and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange all contributed to higher personnel expenses in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017. Higher stock-based compensation expense also resulted in higher personnel expenses in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017.

Operational expenses. Operational expenses as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 17.2% in the first half of 2017 to 17.5% in the first half of 2018. Operational expenses were $248.5 million in the first half of 2018, up $26.2 million, or 11.8%, from the first half of 2017 primarily due to incremental expenses from acquisitions completed in 2017 and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. The increase in operational expenses was partially offset by improved operational efficiencies and lower IT expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of total net revenues increased from 1.7% in the first half of 2017 to 1.8% in the first half of 2018. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a component of cost of revenue were $25.8 million in the first half of 2018, up $4.0 million, or 18.5%, from the first half of 2017. This increase was primarily due to the expansion of certain existing facilities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The following table sets forth the components of our selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses:

 

 

SG&A expenses as a percentage of total net revenues decreased from 25.4% in the first half of 2017 to 24.5% in the first half of 2018. SG&A expenses were $347.3 million in the first half of 2018, up $18.7 million, or 5.7%, from the first half of 2017. Incremental expenses from acquisitions consummated in 2017, higher stock-based compensation expenses, an increase in marketing expenditures, incremental sales headcount and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange on our expenses in certain currencies, primarily the Indian rupee and U.K. pound sterling, all contributed to higher SG&A expenses in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017. These increases were partially offset by cost efficiencies in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017. Our sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total net revenues also decreased marginally from approximately 7.2% in the first half of 2017 to approximately 7.1 % in the first half of 2018.

Personnel expenses. As a percentage of total net revenues, personnel expenses decreased from 18.9% in the first half of 2017 to 18.0% in the first half of 2018. Personnel expenses as a component of SG&A expenses were $254.7 million in the first half of 2018, up $9.6 million, or 3.9%, from the first half of 2017. This increase is primarily due to incremental expenses from acquisitions consummated in 2017, wage inflation, and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. Higher stock-based compensation expense also resulted in higher personnel expenses in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017.

Operational expenses. As a percentage of total net revenues, operational expenses increased from 6.1% in the first half of 2017 to 6.2% in the first half of 2018. Operational expenses as a component of SG&A expenses were $87.3 million in the first half of 2018, up $8.6 million, or 11.0%, from the first half of 2017. This increase is primarily due to incremental expenses from acquisitions completed in 2017, an increase in marketing expenditures and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. These increases were partially offset by cost efficiencies and lower infrastructure expenses in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of total net revenues were 0.4% in the first half of 2018, unchanged from the first half of 2017. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a component of SG&A expenses were $5.3 million in the first half of 2018, up $0.4 million, or 9.3%, from the first half of 2017.

Amortization of acquired intangibles. Non-cash charges on account of amortization of acquired intangibles were $19.8 million in the first half of 2018, up $4.1 million, or 26.4%, from the first half of 2017. This increase was primarily due to the amortization of intangibles acquired after the first half of 2017.

Other operating (income) expense, net. The following table sets forth the components of other operating (income) expense, net:

 

 

Other operating income, net of expense, was $0.1 million in the first half of 2018, down $8.4 million from $8.5 million in the first half of 2017. We recorded a gain of $7.0 million in other operating income in the first half of 2017, primarily due to a gain on the sale of certain real property and as a result of writing back certain liabilities, compared to a gain of $0.3 million in the first half of 2018. We also recorded a gain of $1.4 million in the first half of 2017 due to changes in the fair value of earn-out consideration payable in connection with certain acquisitions compared to a gain of $0.6 million in the first half of 2018. Additionally, we recorded a $0.9 million non-recurring charge in the first half of 2018 relating to a computer software and technology-related intangible asset, which charge we discuss in Note 9—“Property, plant and equipment, net” under Part I, Item 1—“Financial Statements” above. No such charge was recorded in the first half of 2017.

Income from operations. As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations as a percentage of total net revenues decreased from 12.4% in the first half of 2017 to 10.1% in the first half of 2018. Income from operations was $143.3 in the first half of 2018, down $16.8 million from $160.1 million in the first half of 2017.

Foreign exchange gains (losses), net.  We recorded a net foreign exchange gain of $7.6 million in the first half of 2018 compared to a net foreign exchange loss of $3.0 million in the first half of 2017. The gain in the first half of 2018 resulted primarily from the depreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar. The loss in the first half of 2017 resulted primarily from the appreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar.

Interest income (expense), net. The following table sets forth the components of interest income (expense), net:

 

 

Our net interest expense was $18.5 million in the first half of 2018, up $3.2 million from $15.3 million in the first half of 2017, primarily due to a $6.3 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $3.2 million increase in interest income. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to (i) $3.1 million in interest on the senior notes we issued in March 2017, (ii) an increase in LIBOR, resulting in higher interest expense on the term loan under our LIBOR-linked credit facility, partially offset by gains on interest rate swaps in the first half of 2018 compared to losses in the first half of 2017, which we discuss in the section titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financial Condition” below, and (iii) higher drawdown on our revolving credit facility in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017. Our interest income increased by $3.2 million in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017, primarily due to higher account balances in India, where we earn higher interest rates on our deposits than in other jurisdictions where we have deposits. The weighted average rate of interest on our debt, including the net impact of interest rate swaps, increased from 2.7% in the first half of 2017 to 3.2% in the first half of 2018.

Other income (expense), net. The following table sets forth the components of other income (expense), net:

 

 

Our net other income was $26.1 million in the first half of 2018, up $14.0 million from $12.1 million in the first half of 2017, primarily due to one of our subsidiaries in India recording higher income in connection with an export subsidy in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017. This subsidy was introduced under the Foreign Trade Policy of India to encourage the export of specified services from India and is currently available for eligible export services through March 31, 2019.

Equity-method investment activity, net. Equity-method investment activity, net primarily represents our share of loss in one of our non-consolidated affiliates that we divested on June 30, 2017.

Income tax expense. Our income tax expense was $29.2 million in the first half of 2018, up $1.4 million from $27.7 million in the first half of 2017, representing an ETR of 18.4%, compared to 18.5% in the first half of 2017. The increase in our income tax expense is primarily due to higher pre-tax income.

Net income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest. Non-controlling interest primarily refers to the loss associated with the redeemable non-controlling interest in the operations of SSE, which we acquired in the first quarter of 2016. We purchased the remainder of the outstanding equity interest in SSE in the first quarter of 2018. See Note 3—“Business acquisitions” under Part I, Item 1—“Financial Statements” above.

Net income attributable to Genpact Limited shareholders. As a result of the foregoing factors, net income attributable to our common shareholders as a percentage of total net revenues decreased from 9.5% in the first half of 2017 to 9.1% in the first half of 2018. Net income attributable to our common shareholders was $129.3 million in the first half of 2018, up $7.0 million from $122.3 million in the first half of 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Information about our financial position as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 is presented below:

 

 

Financial Condition

We have historically financed our operations and our expansion, including acquisitions, with cash from operations and borrowing facilities.

In February 2017, our board of directors approved a dividend program under which we paid a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share to holders of our common shares, representing a planned annual dividend of $0.24 per share.

69

---

 

On March 28, 2017 and June 28, 2017, we paid dividends of $0.06 per share, amounting to $12.0 million and $11.6 million in the aggregate, to shareholders of record as of March 10, 2017 and June 12, 2017, respectively.

In February 2018, our board of directors approved a 25% increase in our quarterly cash dividend, to $0.075 per share to holders of our common shares, representing a planned annual dividend of $0.30 per common share.  On March 21, 2018 and June 20, 2018, we paid dividends of $0.075 per share, amounting to $14.4 million and $14.2 million in the aggregate, to shareholders of record as of March 9, 2018 and June 8, 2018, respectively.

On July 25, 2018, our board of directors declared a dividend for the third quarter of 2018 of $0.075 per common share, which will be paid on September 19, 2018 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 10, 2018. The declaration of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the board of directors.

As of June 30, 2018, $332.5 million of our $333.9 million in cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign (non-Bermuda) subsidiaries. $9.2 million of this cash was held by foreign subsidiaries for which we expect to incur and have accrued a deferred tax liability on the repatriation of $7.0 million of retained earnings. $82.1 million of the cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries in jurisdictions where no tax is expected to be imposed upon repatriation. The remaining $241.2 million in cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries is being indefinitely reinvested.

As of December 31, 2016, our board of directors had authorized repurchases of up to $750.0 million in value of our common shares under our existing share repurchase program. On February 10, 2017, our board of directors approved up to an additional $500.0 million in share repurchases, bringing the total authorization under our existing program to $1,250.0 million. On March 29, 2017, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase, or ASR, agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC to repurchase an aggregate of $200.0 million of our common shares. We received an initial delivery of 6,578,947 common shares on March 30, 2017, an additional delivery of 350,006 common shares on December 29, 2017 and a final delivery of 163,975 common shares on January 17, 2018 upon final settlement of the transaction. The weighted average price per share of the common shares delivered to us pursuant to the ASR agreement was $28.20.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, we purchased 4,114,882 and 808,293 of our common shares, respectively, on the open market at a weighted average price of $31.62 and $24.48 per share, respectively, for an aggregate cash amount of $130.1 million and $19.8 million, respectively. All repurchased shares have been retired

For additional information, see Note 17—“Capital stock” under Part I, Item 1—“Financial Statements” above.

We expect that in the future our cash from operations, cash reserves and debt capacity will be sufficient to finance our operations, our growth and expansion plans, dividend payments and additional share repurchases we may make under our share repurchase program. In addition, we may raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings. Our working capital needs are primarily to finance our payroll and other administrative and information technology expenses in advance of the receipt of accounts receivable. Our primary capital requirements include opening new delivery centers, expanding related operations to support our growth, financing acquisitions and enhancing capabilities.

Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows, are summarized in the following table:

 

 

Cash flows from operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $49.5 million in the first half of 2018 compared to $115.3 million in the first half of 2017. This decrease is primarily due to a $79.5 million net change in our operating assets and liabilities in the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017, mainly driven by the timing

of certain payments to employees and vendors, higher interest and tax payments and higher income recorded in connection with an export subsidy which will be realized in the future.

Cash flows from investing activities. Our net cash used for investing activities was $54.4 million in the first half of 2018, down $191.0 million from $245.4 million in the first half of 2017. We made a payment of $4.7 million in the first half of 2018 to purchase the remaining 49% equity interest in SSE. We also made a payment of $0.7 million related to the settlement of closing adjustments for an acquisition completed in 2017, compared to payments of $207.2 million related to acquisitions completed in the first half of 2017. Payments for internally generated intangible assets and purchases of property, plant and equipment (net of sales proceeds) were $11.2 million higher in the first half of 2018 than in the first half of 2017. Additionally, investments we made in a non-consolidated affiliate that ceased to be a non-consolidating affiliate as of June 30, 2017 were $0.5 million in the first half of 2017.

Cash flows from financing activities. Our net cash used for financing activities was $141.3 million in the first half of 2018, compared to net cash generated from financing activities of $127.9 million in the first half of 2017. In March 2017, we issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.70% senior notes in a private offering. We also made principal repayments of $20.0 million on our long-term debt in each of the first half of 2018 and 2017. We received proceeds from short-term borrowings of $105.0 million and $230.0 million in the first half of 2018 and 2017, respectively. Of the short-term borrowings, we also repaid $60.0 million and $185.0 million during the first half of 2018 and 2017, respectively. For additional information, see Notes 11 and 12 to our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, payments in connection with the issuance of common shares under stock-based compensation plans (net of proceeds) were $4.8 million in the first half of 2018 compared to proceeds of $0.1 million in the first half of 2017. Payments related to earn-out or deferred consideration were $0.2 million higher in the first half of 2018 than in the first half of 2017. In the first half of 2017, we paid cash dividends in an aggregate amount of $23.5 million compared to $28.6 million in the first half of 2018. Payments for share repurchases (net of expenses) were $130.1 million in the first half of 2018 compared to $219.8 million in the first half of 2017.

Financing Arrangements

In June 2015, we refinanced our 2012 credit facility through a new credit facility comprised of a term loan of $800 million and a revolving credit facility of $350 million. As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018, our outstanding term loan, net of debt amortization expense of $1.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, was $698.2 million and $678.5 million, respectively. We also have fund-based and non-fund based credit facilities with banks, which are available for operational requirements in the form of overdrafts, letters of credit, guarantees and short-term loans. As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018, the limits available under such facilities were $15.1 million and $14.5 million, respectively, of which $7.9 million and $7.6 million, respectively, was utilized, constituting non-funded drawdown. As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018, a total of $171.0 million and $217.1, respectively, of our revolving credit facility was utilized, of which $170.0 million and $215.0, respectively, constituted funded drawdown and $1.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, constituted non-funded drawdown.

In March 2017, we issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.70% senior notes in a private offering, resulting in cash proceeds of approximately $348.5 million and an underwriting fee of approximately $1.5 million. In addition, there were other debt issuance related costs of $1.2 million. The total debt issuance cost of $2.6 million incurred in connection with the offering of the notes is being amortized over the life of the notes as additional interest expense. As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018, the amount outstanding under the notes, net of debt amortization expense of $2.2 million and $2.0 million, was $347.8 million and 348.0 million, respectively, which is payable on April 1, 2022 when the notes mature. For additional information, see Notes 11 and 12—“Short-term borrowings” and “Long-term debt” under Part I, Item 1—“Financial Statements” above.

On August 9, 2018, we refinanced our 2015 credit facility with certain amended terms and net settled the outstanding borrowings of $910 million through a new credit facility comprised of a $680 million term loan and a $500 million revolving credit facility, each having a term of five years. Borrowings under the new facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at our election, either LIBOR plus an applicable margin equal to 1.375% per annum or a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.375% per annum, in each case subject to adjustment based on our debt ratings provided by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Based on our election and current credit rating, the applicable interest rate is equal to LIBOR plus 1.375% per annum. For additional information about the refinancing, see “Part II, Item 5—Other Information.”

We are exposed to interest rate risk arising from changes in interest rates on the floating rate indebtedness under our term loan and 3.70% senior notes issued in March 2017. Borrowings under our term loan bear interest at floating rates based on LIBOR, but in no event less than the floor rate of 0.0% plus an applicable margin. The interest rate on our 3.70% senior notes is subject to adjustment based on the ratings assigned to the notes by Moody’s and S&P from time to time. A decline in such ratings could result in an increase of up to 2% in the rate of interest on the notes. Accordingly, fluctuations in market interest rates or decline in ratings may increase or decrease our interest expense which will, in turn, increase or decrease our net income and cash flow.

We manage a portion of our interest rate risk related to floating rate indebtedness by entering into interest rate swaps under which we receive floating rate payments based on the greater of LIBOR and the floor rate under our term loan and make payments based on a fixed rate. As of June 30, 2018, we were party to interest rate swaps covering a total notional amount of $419.8 million. Under these swap agreements, the rate that we pay to banks in exchange for LIBOR ranges between 0.88% and 1.20%.

For a discussion of our market risk associated with foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and credit risk, see Part II, Item 7A—“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company’s controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Our amended and restated credit agreement, or the 2018 Credit Agreement, is between Genpact International, GGH, and Genpact Luxembourg S.à r.l., a société à responsabilité limitée organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, which we refer to together with Genpact International and GGH as the Borrowers, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing bank, and the lenders party thereto.  The 2018 Credit Agreement provides for a $680 million term credit facility and a $500 million revolving credit facility. The Borrowers have an option to increase the commitments under the 2018 Credit Agreement, subject to certain approvals, compliance with the consolidated leverage ratio covenants, and other conditions as set forth in the 2018 Credit Agreement.  As of August 9, 2018, $680 million was outstanding pursuant to the term credit facility and $230 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

In connection with our entry into the 2018 Credit Agreement, borrowings of $910 million outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement have been net settled. Other borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement will be used (i) to pay related fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing and (ii) for our and our subsidiaries’ general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions.

The term credit facility and the revolving credit facility under the 2018 Credit Agreement each have a term of five years. The 2018 Credit Agreement is guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries, and the obligations under the 2018 Credit Agreement are unsecured.

Borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at the election of the Borrowers, either LIBOR plus an applicable margin equal to 1.375% per annum or a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.375% per annum, in each case subject to adjustment based on the Borrowers’ debt ratings provided by S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. from time to time, or the Debt Ratings.  The revolving credit commitments under the 2018 Credit Agreement are subject to a commitment fee equal to 0.20% per annum, subject to adjustment based on the Debt Ratings. The commitment fee accrues on the actual daily amount by which the aggregate revolving commitments exceed the sum of outstanding revolving loans and letter of credit obligations.

The 2018 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants (which are in some cases subject to certain exceptions), including, but not limited to, restrictions on the ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make certain investments, make certain dividends and related distributions, enter into, or undertake, certain liquidations, mergers, consolidations or acquisitions and dispose of certain assets or subsidiaries. In addition, the 2018 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain certain consolidated leverage ratios and consolidated interest coverage ratios.  The 2018 Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default (which are in some cases subject to certain exceptions, thresholds, notice requirements and grace periods), including, but not limited to, nonpayment of principal or interest, breaches of representations and warranties, failure to perform or observe covenants, cross-defaults with certain other agreements or indebtedness, final judgments or orders, certain change of control events and certain bankruptcy-related events or proceedings.

The foregoing description of the 2018 Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information set forth above is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Items 1.01, 1.02 and 2.03 of Form 8-K.
