(Unaudited)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by TIBCO Software Inc. (“TIBCO,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of November 30, 2011 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position and our results of operations and cash flows. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011.

Our fiscal year ends on November 30th of each year. For purposes of presentation, we have indicated the first quarter of fiscal years 2012 and 2011 as ended on February 28, 2012 (not withstanding that February 2012 contained 29 days) and February 28, 2011, respectively; whereas in fact, the first quarter of fiscal years 2012 and 2011 actually ended on March 4, 2012 and February 27, 2011, respectively. There were 95 days and 89 days in the first quarter of fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of us and our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For majority-owned subsidiaries, we reflect the noncontrolling interest of the portion we do not own on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Equity and our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The results of operations for the three months ended February 28, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2012, or any other future period, and we make no representations related thereto.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements were described in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011. There have been no significant changes in our accounting policies for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Revenue Recognition

License revenue consists principally of revenue earned under software license agreements. License revenue is generally recognized when a signed contract or other persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been shipped or electronically delivered, the license fee is fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting receivable is probable. When contracts contain multiple software and software-related elements (for example software license, maintenance, and professional services) wherein Vendor-Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) exists for all undelivered elements, we account for the delivered elements in accordance with the “Residual Method.” VSOE of fair value for maintenance and support is established by a stated renewal rate, if substantive, included in the license arrangement or rates charged in stand-alone sales of maintenance and support. Revenue from subscription license agreements, which include software, rights to unspecified future products and maintenance, is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription period.

Provided all other revenue criteria are met, the upfront, minimum, non-refundable license fees from original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) customers are generally recognized upon delivery, and on-going royalty fees are generally recognized upon reports of units shipped. Revenue on shipments to resellers is recognized when all revenue criteria are met and is recorded net of related costs to the resellers.

Professional services revenue consists primarily of revenue received for assisting with the implementation of our software, on-site support, training and other consulting services. Many customers who license our software also enter into separate professional services arrangements with us. In determining whether professional services revenue should be accounted for separately from license revenue, we evaluate whether the professional services are considered essential to the functionality of the software using factors such as the nature of our software products; whether they are ready for use by the customer upon receipt; the nature of our implementation services, which typically do not involve significant customization to or development of the underlying software code; the availability of services from other vendors; whether the timing of payments for license revenue is coincident with performance of services; and whether milestones or acceptance criteria exist that affect the realizability of the software license fee. Substantially all of our professional services arrangements are billed on a time and materials basis and, accordingly, are recognized as the services are performed. Contracts with fixed or not-to-exceed fees are recognized on a proportional performance model based on actual services performed. If there is significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for professional services, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. Training revenue is recognized as training services are delivered. VSOE of fair value of consulting and training services is based upon stand-alone sales of those services. Payments received in advance of consulting or training services performed are deferred and recognized when the related services are performed. Work performed and expenses incurred in advance of invoicing are recorded as unbilled receivables. These amounts are billed in the subsequent month.

For arrangements that do not qualify for separate accounting for the license and professional services revenues, including arrangements that involve significant modification or customization of the software, that include milestones or customer specific acceptance criteria that may affect collection of the software license fees, or where payment for the software license is tied to the performance of professional services, software license revenue is generally recognized together with the professional services revenue using either the percentage-of-completion or completed-contract method. The completed contract method is used for contracts where there is a risk over final acceptance by the customer or for contracts that are short term in nature. Under the percentage-of-completion method, revenue recognized is equal to the ratio of costs expended to date to the anticipated total contract costs, based on current estimates of costs to complete the project. If there are milestones or acceptance provisions associated with the contract, the revenue recognized will not exceed the most recent milestone achieved or acceptance obtained. If the total estimated costs to complete a project exceed the total contract amount, indicating a loss, the entire anticipated loss would be recognized in the current period.

Maintenance revenue consists of fees for providing software updates on a when-and-if available basis and technical support for software products (“post-contract customer support” or “PCS”). Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

Payments received in advance of services performed are deferred. Allowances for estimated future returns and discounts are provided for upon recognition of revenue.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 we adopted the amended accounting guidance for certain multiple deliverable revenue arrangements that:

 

   

provides updated guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables in an arrangement should be separated, and how the consideration should be allocated;

 

   

requires an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using the estimated selling price (“ESP”) of deliverables if a vendor does not have VSOE of selling price or third-party evidence (“TPE”) of selling price; and

 

   

eliminates the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method.

We occasionally enter into multiple element revenue arrangements in which a customer may purchase a combination of software licenses, hosting services, maintenance, professional services and hardware. For multiple element arrangements that contain non-software related elements, for example our hosting services, we allocate revenue to each non-software element based upon the relative selling price of each, and if software and software-related elements are also included in the arrangement, to those elements as a group based on our ESP for the group. When applying the relative selling price method, we determine the selling price for each deliverable using VSOE of selling price, if it exists, then TPE of selling price. If neither VSOE nor TPE of selling price exist for a deliverable, we use our ESP for multiple element arrangements that include non-software components. Revenue allocated to each element is then recognized when the basic revenue recognition criteria are met for each element. The manner in which we account for multiple element arrangements that contain only software and software-related elements remains unchanged. Our non-software components of tangible products and software do not function together to provide the essential functionality of the product.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 

Consistent with our methodology under previous accounting guidance, we determine VSOE for each element based on historical stand-alone sales to third-parties or from the stated renewal rate for the elements contained in the initial software license arrangement. When we are unable to establish selling prices using VSOE or TPE, we use ESP in our allocation of arrangement consideration. The objective of ESP is to determine the price at which we would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis. We determine ESP by considering multiple factors, including, but not limited to, geographies, market conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs, gross margin objectives, and pricing practices. ESP is generally used for offerings that are not typically sold on a stand-alone basis or for new or highly customized offerings.

 

3. BUSINESS COMBINATION

While we use our best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the business combination date, our estimates and assumptions are subject to refinement. As a result, during the preliminary purchase price allocation period, which may be up to one year from the business combination date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. We record adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed subsequent to the purchase price allocation period in our operating results in the period in which the adjustments were determined.

The total purchase price allocated to the tangible assets acquired is assigned based on the fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired is determined using the income approach which discounts expected future cash flows to present value using estimated assumptions determined by management. We believe that these identified intangible assets will have no residual value after their estimated economic useful lives.

Nimbus Partners Limited

On August 30, 2011, TIBCO International Holdings B.V., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of us, acquired Nimbus Partners Limited (“Nimbus”), a private company organized under the laws of England and Wales and a provider of business process discovery and analysis applications that help companies drive adoption of business process initiatives. We paid $42.0 million of cash to acquire the outstanding equity of Nimbus. We have also incurred $1.0 million of acquisition related and other expenses associated with the acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, we assumed facility leases, certain liabilities and commitments of Nimbus. We are currently evaluating the purchase price allocation following consummation of the transaction.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the Nimbus acquisition, as of the date of the acquisition, is as follows (in thousands):

 

Cash

   $ 971   

Accounts receivable (approximate contractual value)

     3,634   

Other assets

     763

     Gross Amount

   $ 19,800         5.3 years   
  

 

 

    

The excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets, less liabilities assumed, was recorded as goodwill. We anticipate that none of the goodwill recorded in connection with the Nimbus acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes.

LoyaltyLab, Inc.

On December 7, 2010, we acquired LoyaltyLab, Inc. (“Loyalty Lab”), a private company incorporated in Delaware. Loyalty Lab is an independent provider of loyalty management solutions allowing marketers to manage loyalty programs from their desktop. This acquisition provides us international presence in the customer loyalty market. We paid $23.5 million in cash to acquire all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Loyalty Lab. We have also incurred $0.4 million of acquisition related and other expenses associated with the acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, we assumed facility leases and certain liabilities and commitments of Loyalty Lab.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Measurements

FASB guidance for fair value measurements clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require us to develop our own assumptions. This hierarchy requires us to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. On a recurring basis, we measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, including our marketable securities and foreign currency contracts.

Table of Contents

TIBCO SOFTWARE INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

 

Our cash equivalents and investment instruments are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets include most money market securities and are generally classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The types of instruments valued based on other observable inputs include investment-grade corporate bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed products and state, municipal and provincial obligations. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

We execute our foreign currency contracts primarily in the retail market in an over-the-counter environment with a relatively high level of price transparency. The market participants usually are large multi-national and regional banks. Our foreign currency contracts valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and quoted pricing intervals from public data sources and do not involve management judgment. These contracts are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value hierarchy of our cash equivalents, marketable securities and foreign currency contracts is as follows (in thousands):

Derivative Instruments

We conduct business in the Americas; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia Pacific and Japan (“APJ”). As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or changes in economic conditions in foreign markets. The U.S. dollar is our major transaction currency; we also transact business in approximately 25 foreign currencies worldwide, of which the most significant to our operations in fiscal years 2012 and 2011 was the Euro. We enter into forward contracts with financial institutions to manage our currency exposure related to net assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, and these forward contracts are generally settled monthly. Our forward contracts reduce, but do not eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rate movements. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Gains and losses on forward contracts are included in Other Income (Expense) in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Currently, we do not have master netting agreements with our counterparties for our forward contracts. We mitigate the credit risk of these derivatives by transacting with highly rated counterparties. As of February 28, 2012, we have evaluated the credit and non-performance risks associated with our derivative counterparties, and we believe that the impact of the credit risk associated with our outstanding derivatives was insignificant.

The remaining accrued excess facilities costs represent the estimated loss on abandoned excess facilities, net of estimated sublease income, which is expected to be paid over the next two years. As of February 28, 2012, $0.9 million of the $3.3 million accrued restructuring and excess facilities costs were classified as long-term liabilities.

 

8. LONG-TERM DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES

Mortgage Note

In connection with the purchase of our corporate headquarters in June 2003, we recorded a $54.0 million mortgage note to a financial institution collateralized by the commercial real property acquired. The balance on the mortgage note was $37.5 million and $38.1 million as of February 28, 2012 and November 30, 2011, respectively.

The mortgage note carries a 20-year amortization and a fixed annual interest rate of 5.50%. The $34.4 million principal balance that will be remaining at the end of the 10-year term will be due as a final lump sum payment on July 1, 2013. Under the currently applicable terms of the mortgage note agreements, we are prohibited from acquiring another company without prior consent from the lender unless we maintain at least $50.0 million of cash or cash equivalents and meet other non-financial terms as defined in the agreements. In addition, we are subject to certain non-financial covenants as provided in the agreements. As of February 28, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants under the mortgage note agreements.

Credit Facility

In November 2009, we entered into a three year $150.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2009 Credit Facility”). In December 2011, we and one of our subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2011 Credit Facility”). The 2011 Credit Facility matures on December 19, 2016 and provides for borrowings of up to $250.0 million with a sublimit for swing line loans of up to $10.0 million and standby letters of credit in a face amount of up to $50.0 million. We have an option to request that the lenders increase the available commitments by up to an additional $100.0 million for total borrowings of up to $350.0 million.

Revolving loans accrue interest at a per annum rate based on, at our option, either (i) the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.00%, depending on TIBCO’s consolidated leverage ratio or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00%, depending on TIBCO’s consolidated leverage ratio, for various interest periods. The base rate is defined as the highest of (i) the administrative agent’s prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus a margin equal to 0.50%, and (iii) the LIBOR rate for a one month interest period plus a margin of 1.00%. We are also obligated to pay commitment fees for the unused amount of the 2011 Credit Facility, letter of credit fees and other customary fees. Loan origination fees and issuance costs of approximately $1.9 million were incurred upon consummation of the 2011 Credit Facility which will be amortized through interest expense over a period of five years. Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate of 2.00% above the applicable interest rate will apply on all obligations during the existence of an event of default under the 2011 Credit Facility.

We must maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3.5:1.0 and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 2.5:1.0 in addition to other customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of February 28, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants under this facility.

As of February 28, 2012, we had borrowed $100.0 million under the 2011 Credit Facility. On April 5, 2012, we borrowed an additional $50.0 million under the 2011 Credit Facility.

Line of Credit

We also have a $20.0 million revolving line of credit that matures in November 2012 (the “Line of Credit”). The revolving Line of Credit is available for cash borrowings and for the issuance of letters of credit up to $20.0 million. The Line of Credit contains financial covenants identical to those of the 2011 Credit Facility, as well as other customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of February 28, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Line of Credit.

In connection with the mortgage note payable, we entered into an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $13.0 million collateralized under the Line of Credit which renews for successive one-year periods until the mortgage note payable has been satisfied in full. In addition, we have approximately $1.4 million of irrevocable letters of credit outstanding in connection with revenue transactions.

As of February 28, 2012, no other borrowings were outstanding under the Line of Credit.

Guarantee Credit Line

We have a revolving guarantee credit line of approximately $13.2 million available for the issuance of bank guarantees denominated in foreign currency. Issued bank guarantees were approximately $12.5 million and $11.4 million as of February 28, 2012 and November 30, 2011, respectively, and were collateralized by pledging the equivalent amount under restricted cash as required under our guarantee credit line. Other various contractual commitments also require us to pledge cash as security and record this cash under restricted cash. As of February 28, 2012 and November 30, 2011, we had restricted cash of $14.7 million and $13.8 million, respectively, which is included in Other Assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Prepaid Land Lease

In June 2003, we entered into a 51-year lease of the land upon which our corporate headquarters is located. The lease was paid in advance for a total of $28.0 million, but is subject to adjustments every ten years based upon changes in market condition. Should it become necessary, we have the option to prepay any rent increases due as a result of a change in fair market value. This prepaid land lease is being amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the lease; the portion to be amortized over the next twelve months is included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets, and the remainder is included in Other Assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Operating Commitments

At various locations worldwide, we lease office space and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases with various expiration dates through May 2019. Rental expense was $3.8 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

As of February 28, 2012, contractual commitments associated with indebtedness, lease obligations and restructuring were as follows (in thousands):

(1) 

For fiscal year 2012, the debt principal includes $100.0 million outstanding balance under the credit facility that is shown as long-term debt on the balance sheet due to the Company’s ability to extend the outstanding balance on a long-term basis under the 2011 Credit Facility.

Future minimum lease payments under restructured non-cancelable operating leases are included in Accrued Restructuring Costs on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The above commitment table does not include approximately $45.3 million of long-term income tax liabilities due to the fact that we are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of these potential future payments.

Indemnification

Our software license agreements typically provide for indemnification of customers for intellectual property infringement claims. We also warrant to customers that software products operate substantially in accordance with the software product’s specifications. Historically, we have incurred minimal costs related to product warranties, and, as such, no accruals for warranty costs have been made. In addition, we indemnify our officers and directors under the terms of indemnity agreements entered into with them, as well as pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and applicable Delaware law.

10. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

IPO Allocation Suit

We, certain of our directors and officers and certain investment bank underwriters were named in a putative class action for violation of the federal securities laws in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned “In re TIBCO Software Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation.” This was one of a number of cases challenging underwriting practices in the initial public offerings (each, an “IPO”) of more than 300 companies, which have been coordinated for pretrial proceedings as “In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation.” Plaintiffs generally alleged that the underwriters engaged in undisclosed and improper underwriting activities, namely the receipt of excessive brokerage commissions and customer agreements regarding post-offering purchases of stock in exchange for allocations of IPO shares. Plaintiffs also alleged that various investment bank securities analysts issued false and misleading analyst reports. The complaint against us claimed that the purported improper underwriting activities were not disclosed in the registration statements for our IPO and secondary public offering and sought unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of persons who purchased our securities or sold put options during the time period from July 13, 1999 to December 6, 2000.

A lawsuit with similar allegations of undisclosed improper underwriting practices, and part of the same coordinated proceedings, was filed against Talarian, which we acquired in 2002. That action was captioned “In re Talarian Corp. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation.” The complaint against Talarian, certain of its underwriters and certain of its former directors and officers claimed that the purported improper underwriting activities were not disclosed in the registration statement for Talarian’s IPO and sought unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class of persons who purchased Talarian securities during the time period from July 20, 2000 to December 6, 2000.

The coordinated litigation matters, including the actions against us and Talarian, have been resolved by a global settlement. Under the settlement, the insurers pay the full amount of settlement share allocated to us (our financial liability is limited to paying the remaining balance of the applicable retention under Talarian’s directors and officers liability insurance policy). The settlement received final approval from the district court in 2009. Various objectors to the settlement filed appeals; in January 2012, the last of those appeals was withdrawn and dismissed and the settlement became final.

JuxtaComm v. TIBCO, et al.

On January 21, 2010, JuxtaComm-Texas Software, LLC (“JuxtaComm”) filed a complaint for patent infringement against us and other defendants in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Case No. 6:10-CV-00011-LED. On April 22, 2010, JuxtaComm filed an amended complaint in which it alleges that certain TIBCO offerings, including TIBCO ActiveMatrix Business Works™, TIBCO iProcess™ Suite, TIBCO Business Studio™ and TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Service Bus infringe U.S. Patent No. 6,195,662 (“’662 patent”). JuxtaComm seeks injunctive relief and unspecified damages. On May 6, 2010, we filed an answer and counterclaims in which we denied JuxtaComm’s claims and asserted counterclaims for declaratory relief that the asserted patent is invalid and not infringed.

On May 12, 2011, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (“PTO”) issued a Final Office Action rejecting all asserted claims of the ’662 patent. On May 24, 2011, the court denied a motion to stay filed by the defendants. On August 11, 2011, the PTO issued an Advisory Action determining that JuxtaComm’s arguments submitted after May 12, 2011, failed to overcome the Final Office Action. JuxtaComm filed a Notice of Appeal from the Examiner to the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences, challenging the Final Office Action, on September 9, 2011. We joined a new motion to stay the litigation in view of the PTO’s Final Office Action and Advisory Action filed by co-defendants SAS Institute, Inc. and Dataflux Corporation on August 16, 2011. On March 27, 2012, the Court denied the August 16, 2011 motion to stay.

Trial was originally scheduled for January 9, 2012. On December 8, 2011, the Court issued an Order vacating all deadlines in the action, including the trial date, and temporarily staying the case until February 1, 2012. After the stay was lifted, on March 27, 2012 the Court issued an Order setting trial for October 9, 2012.

We intend to defend the action vigorously. While we believe that we have valid defenses to JuxtaComm’s claims, litigation is inherently unpredictable and we cannot make any predictions as to the outcome of this litigation. It is possible that our business, financial position, or results of operations could be negatively affected by an unfavorable resolution of this action, however, we are unable to estimate a range of potential loss at this time.

InvestPic, LLC v. TIBCO, et al.

On November 24, 2010, InvestPic, LLC (“InvestPic”) filed a complaint for patent infringement against us and fourteen other defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, Case No. 1:10cv01028-SLR. The complaint alleges that TIBCO Spotfire® S+® “and other similar products” infringe U.S. Patent No. 6,349,291 (the “’291 patent”). On March 29, 2011, defendant SAS Institute Inc. filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim for relief on the basis that all the asserted claims of the ’291 patent are invalid as being directed to unpatentable subject matter. On May 13, 2011, TIBCO, along with other defendants, filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on the same grounds as SAS’ motion. On September 30, 2011, the Court denied this motion to dismiss. However, the Court declined to address the merits of defendants’ arguments that the claims of the ’291 patent are directed to unpatentable subject matter, in the absence of discovery or claim construction. A Scheduling Order has been entered in the case and the Court has set a date for a jury trial commencing on September 16, 2013.

InvestPic seeks injunctive relief and unspecified damages. We intend to defend the action vigorously. While we believe that we have valid defenses to InvestPic’s claims, litigation is inherently unpredictable and we cannot make any predictions as to the outcome of this litigation. It is possible that our business, financial position, or results of operations could be negatively affected by an unfavorable resolution of this action. As InvestPic has made no specific demand for damages in this matter other than injunctive relief, we cannot currently estimate a reasonably possible range of loss for this action.

Vasudevan Software, Inc. v. TIBCO, et al.

On December 23, 2011, Vasudevan Software, Inc. (“Vasudevan”) filed a complaint for patent infringement against us and Spotfire Inc. in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Case No. 3:11-cv-06638-RS. The complaint alleges that TIBCO directly, indirectly, and willfully infringes U.S. Patent No. 7,167,864 B1 based on “Spotfire Analytics and other products.” Vasudevan further alleges in its infringement contentions that the accused products “include at least the TIBCO Spotfire Platform (e.g., TIBCO Spotfire Professional, TIBCO Spotfire Server, TIBCO Spotfire Web Player, TIBCO Spotfire Enterprise Player, TIBCO Spotfire for the Apple iPad, TIBCO Spotfire Application Data Services, TIBCO Spotfire Developer, TIBCO Spotfire Metrics, TIBCO Spotfire Network Analytics, TIBCO Spotfire Operations Analytics Bundle, and TIBCO Silver Spotfire) at least versions 4.0 to 2.1, as well as any TIBCO products and services that utilize the TIBCO Spotfire Platform.” Vasudevan amended its complaint on March 6, 2012, but continues to accuse the same products of infringement. A motion is currently pending to dismiss Vasudevan’s indirect and willful infringement claims. TIBCO’s motion to dismiss is scheduled to be heard before Judge Seeborg on April 26, 2012.

Vasudevan seeks injunctive relief and unspecified damages. The Court has scheduled a case management conference for April 19, 2012, but has not yet set a further schedule for the case. We intend to defend the action vigorously. While we believe that we have valid defenses to Vasudevan’s claims, litigation is inherently unpredictable and we cannot make any predictions as to the outcome of this litigation. It is possible that our business, financial position, or results of operations could be negatively affected by an unfavorable resolution of this action. As Vasudevan has made no specific demand for relief in this matter other than injunctive relief, we cannot currently estimate a reasonably possible range of loss for this action.

YYZ, LLCv. TIBCO Software Inc.

On February 10, 2012, YYZ, LLC (“YYZ”) filed a complaint for patent infringement against us in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, Case No. 1:12-cv-00170-SLR. YYZ alleges that certain TIBCO offerings, including TIBCO Business Studio, TIBCO Spotfire Professional, TIBCO Spotfire Server, TIBCO ActiveMatrix Business Works, TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM, TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Spotfire, TIBCO Enterprise Message Service, TIBCO Rendezvous, TIBCO Messaging Appliance, TIBCO FTL, TIBCO Web Messaging for TIBCO Enterprise Message Service and TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapters, infringe U.S. Patent No. 8,046,747 (the “747 patent”), On April 4, 2012, we filed an answer and counterclaims in which we denied YYZ’s claims and asserted counterclaims for declaratory relief that the ‘747 patent is invalid and not infringed. On April 4, 2012, we also filed a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted to the extent that YYZ is asserting allegations of indirect patent infringement.

Discovery has not yet commenced and no trial date has been set.

We intend to defend the action vigorously. While we believe that we have valid defenses to YYZ’s claims, litigation is inherently unpredictable and we cannot make any predictions as to the outcome of this litigation. It is possible that our business, financial position, or results of operations could be negatively affected by an unfavorable resolution of this action, however, we are unable to estimate a range of potential loss at this time.

13. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was approximately 14% and 11% for the three months ended February 28, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The provision for the three months ended February 28, 2012 and 2011 reflects a forecasted annual tax rate of 21% and 30%, respectively, offset by discrete items which are booked in the period they occur. The forecasted tax rate reflects the benefits resulting from the reorganization of certain foreign entities, lower foreign taxes, the release of the valuation allowance on certain domestic tax assets (fiscal year 2011), domestic manufacturing incentives, and federal and state research and development credits (federal R&D credit expired on December 31, 2011), partially offset by the impact of certain stock compensation charges and state income taxes.

In the three months ended February 28, 2012 we recognized a discrete benefit of $1.8 million primarily related to the lapse of various statutes of limitations and a true-up for prior period withholding taxes. In the three months ended February 28, 2011, we recognized a discrete benefit of $2.3 million primarily related to the reinstatement of the federal research and development credit which was retroactive to January 1, 2010.

In February 2009, the California 2009-2010 budget legislation was signed into law. One of the major components of this legislation is the ability to elect to apply a single sales factor apportionment for years beginning after January 1, 2011. As a result of our anticipated election of the single sales factor, we were required to re-measure our deferred taxes taking into account the reversal pattern and the expected California tax rate under the elective single sales factor. We estimated that by electing a single sales factor apportionment, our California deferred tax assets would decrease by approximately $1.1 million (net of federal benefit) and, accordingly, the tax impact of $1.1 million was recorded as a discrete item in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. It is possible that current and future reductions in California taxable income due to electing the single sales factor apportionment will reduce the probability of fully benefitting our research and development credit carryforwards below the more-likely-than-not threshold which would require us to book a valuation allowance against those credits.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was increased by approximately $1.7 million primarily due to current period exposures offset by the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $45.3 million as of February 28, 2012, of which $26.9 million would benefit tax expense if realized. We elected to include interest expense and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of our income tax expense. We do not expect any significant changes to the amount of unrecognized tax benefit within the next twelve months.

We are subject to periodic corporate income tax audits in both the United States and foreign jurisdictions. As of February 28, 2012 we have several tax audits at various stages of completion. We believe that we have provided adequate reserves to cover any potential audit adjustments. The statute of limitations for our fiscal years 1994 through 2011 remains open for U.S. purposes. Most foreign jurisdictions have statutes of limitations that range from three to six years.

In fiscal year 2010, we granted 4.1 million performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) that contain performance metrics based on the attainment and maintenance of specified non-GAAP EPS goals. If the performance criteria are achieved, these PRSUs will be considered outstanding for the purpose of computing diluted EPS if the effect is dilutive. The dilutive impact of these awards will be deferred until the performance criteria has been met, which at the earliest is as of the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

16. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

On December 21, 2010, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $300.0 million of our outstanding common stock from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. We repurchased 2.8 million shares for $67.5 million during the three months ended February 28, 2012 (which due to a delay in the receipt by the company from the purchasing agent, were reflected as outstanding in our Proxy Statement for the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders) and 1.2 million shares for $24.4 million during the three months ended February 28, 2011 under the stock repurchase program.

In connection with the repurchase activities during the three months ended February 28, 2012, we classified $33.4 million of the excess purchase price over the par value of our common stock to retained earnings.

Subsequent to the end of our first fiscal quarter, on March 29, 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $300.0 million of our outstanding common stock from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. In connection with the approval of this program, our Board of Directors also terminated our previous $300.0 million stock repurchase program from December 2010, and the remaining authorized amount of $38.4 million under the December 2010 stock repurchase program was canceled.

 

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Acquisition of LogLogic, Inc.

On April 10, 2012, we acquired LogLogic Inc. (“LogLogic), a private company based in San Jose, California and incorporated in the State of Delaware. LogLogic is a provider of scalable log and security management platforms. We paid approximately $130.0 million, net of cash acquired, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of LogLogic. We have also incurred transaction costs associated with the acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, TIBCO assumed facility leases, certain liabilities and commitments of LogLogic. Management is currently evaluating the purchase price allocation for this transaction.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements relate to expectations concerning future events or matters that are not historical facts. Words such as “projects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “strategy,” “continue,” “will,” “estimate,” “forecast,” and similar words and expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although these words are not the only means of identifying these statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, these expectations or any of the forward-looking statements could prove to be incorrect, and actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the factors set forth in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors.” This discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2011 and with our quarterly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q . All forward-looking statements and reasons why results may differ included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements or reasons why actual results may differ.

Executive Overview

Our products are currently licensed by companies worldwide in diverse industries such as energy, financial services, government, insurance, life sciences, logistics, manufacturing, retail, telecommunications and transportation. We sell our products through a direct sales force and through alliances with leading software vendors and system integrators.

Our revenue consists primarily of license and maintenance fees from our customers, distributors and partners (including system integrators, resellers, professional service organizations and business partners) who embed our software in their products. In addition, we receive fees from our customers for providing consulting services. Our revenue is generally derived from a diverse customer base. No single customer represented greater than 10% of our total revenue for the first three months of fiscal year 2012. As of February 28, 2012, no single customer had a balance in excess of 10% of our net accounts receivable. We establish allowances for doubtful accounts based on our evaluation of collectability and an allowance for returns and discounts based on specifically identified credits and historical experience.

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we recorded total revenue of $225.7 million, an increase of 22% from the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. License revenue was $82.3 million, an increase of 17% from the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. In addition, we generated cash flow from operations of $41.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Diluted earnings per share under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) was $0.12 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 as compared to $0.09 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. We ended the quarter with $354.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and we spent $67.5 million to repurchase shares of our common stock during the first fiscal quarter.

We currently intend to grow our business by pursuing key initiatives to: broaden our product platform through internal development and acquisitions; increase our sales capacity by expanding our direct sales organization and developing our channel partnerships; expand our product offerings to new vertical markets; and employ marketing programs to increase awareness of us and our products among existing and prospective customers. Whether or not we are successful depends on our ability to: appropriately manage our expenses as we grow our organization; identify or acquire companies or assets at attractive valuations; enter into beneficial channel relationships; develop new products; and successfully execute our marketing and sales strategies.

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that can have significant impact on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. We base our estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On a regular basis we evaluate our estimates, assumptions and judgments and make changes accordingly. We also discuss our critical accounting estimates on a regular basis with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

 

21


Table of Contents

We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, returns and discounts, stock-based compensation, business combination, impairment of goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets, and accounting for income taxes have the greatest potential impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Historically, our estimates, assumptions and judgments relative to our critical accounting policies have not differed materially from actual results. The critical accounting estimates associated with these policies are described in Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements are detailed in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011.

Service and maintenance revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 increased by $28.1 million, or 24%, compared to the same quarter last year. Maintenance revenue was 62% and professional services and training revenue was 38% of total service and maintenance revenue for the quarter ended February 28, 2012. The increase for the three months ended February 28, 2012 was primarily due to continued growth in our installed software base and an increase in both the number and size of consulting engagements, reflecting our increased focus on providing more services to our customers.

Cost of service and maintenance consisted primarily of compensation for professional services, customer support personnel and third-party contractors and associated expenses related to providing consulting services.

Cost of service and maintenance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 increased by $13.0 million, or 30%, compared to the same quarter last year. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily due to a $8.8 million increase in employee-related expenses, a $1.7 million increase in subcontractor costs, a $1.1 million increase in travel expenses, a $0.6 million increase in facilities expenses and a $0.5 million increase in information technology-related expenses. The increase in employee-related expenses and subcontractor costs was primarily due to an increase in professional services and customer support staff and was also related to increased service revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consisted primarily of employee-related expenses, including salary, bonus, benefits, stock-based compensation expenses, recruiting expense and office support, third-party contractor fees and related costs associated with the development and enhancement of our products.

The increase in employee-related expenses was primarily due to an increase in headcount and variable compensation. The increase in travel expenses was due to increased travel related to sales activities.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of employee-related expenses, including salary, bonus, benefits, stock-based compensation expenses, recruiting expense and office support and related costs for general corporate functions including executive, legal, finance, accounting and human resources, and also included accounting, tax and legal fees and charges.

The increase in employee-related expenses was primarily due to an increase in salaries and headcount. The increase in professional services, fees and charges was due to increased subcontractor costs, consulting projects and other fees and charges.

In the three months ended February 28, 2012, we recognized a discrete benefit of $1.8 million primarily related to the lapse of various statutes of limitations and a true-up for prior period withholding taxes. In the three months ended February 28, 2011, we recognized a discrete benefit of $2.3 million primarily related to the reinstatement of the federal research and development credit which was retroactive to January 1, 2010.

The tax expense for the three-month period ended February 28, 2012 and 2011 reflects a forecasted tax rate of 21% and 30%, respectively, offset by discrete items which are recognized in the period they are incurred. The forecasted tax rate reflects the benefits resulting from the reorganization of certain foreign entities, lower foreign taxes, a release of the valuation allowance on certain domestic tax assets (fiscal year 2011), domestic manufacturing incentives, and research and development credits (federal R&D credit expired on December 31, 2011), partially offset by the impact of certain stock compensation charges and state income taxes.

We are required to estimate our income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our current tax exposure under the most recent tax laws and assessing temporary differences resulting from differences in the timing of the recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. Our temporary differences primarily relate to stock-based compensation charges, amortization of intangible assets, fixed asset depreciation, deferred revenue and other similar items.

With the exception of our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Japan, net undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are generally considered to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly, no provision for U.S. income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of these earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, we will be subject to U.S. income taxes to the extent that available net operating loss carryovers and foreign tax credits are not sufficient to eliminate the additional tax liability.

In February 2009, the California 2009-2010 budget legislation was signed into law. One of the major components of this legislation is the ability to elect to apply a single sales factor apportionment for years beginning after January 1, 2011. As a result of our anticipated election of the single sales factor, we were required to re-measure our deferred taxes taking into account the reversal pattern and the expected California tax rate under the elective single sales factor. We estimated that by electing a single sales factor apportionment, our California deferred tax assets would decrease by approximately $1.1 million (net of federal benefit) and, accordingly, the tax impact of $1.1 million was recorded as a discrete item in the first quarter of

fiscal year 2009. It is possible that current and future reductions in California taxable income due to electing the single sales factor apportionment will reduce the probability of fully benefitting our research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $10.0 million below the more-likely-than-not threshold which would require us to book a valuation allowance against those credits.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits increased by approximately $1.7 million primarily due to current period exposures offset by the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $45.3 million as of February 28, 2012, of which $26.9 million would benefit tax expense if realized. We elected to include interest expense and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of our income tax expense. The change in accrued interest and penalties during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 was not material. We do not expect any significant changes to the amount of unrecognized tax benefit within the next twelve months. Recent statements from the Internal Revenue Service have indicated their intent to seek greater disclosure by companies of their reserves for uncertain tax positions.

We are subject to periodic corporate income tax audits in both the United States and foreign jurisdictions and there are several tax audits at various stages of completion as of February 28, 2012. We believe that we have provided adequate reserves to cover any potential audit adjustments. The statute of limitations for our fiscal years 1994 through 2011 remains open for U.S. purposes. Most foreign jurisdictions have statutes of limitations that range from three to six years.

Effective December 1, 2010, TIBCO changed its organizational operating structure which resulted in the centralization of the majority of our international operations in the Netherlands. As a result of the change we anticipate that a portion of our consolidated pre-tax income will be subject to foreign tax at comparatively lower tax rates than the United States federal statutory tax rate. Our future effective income tax rates could be adversely affected if tax authorities challenge our international tax structure or if the relative mix of United States and international income changes for any reason. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our income tax rate will be less than the United States federal statutory rate in future periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Current Cash Flows

As of February 28, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $354.4 million, representing an increase of $46.2 million from November 30, 2011. As of February 28, 2012, $220.1 million of our cash and cash equivalents were held by our foreign subsidiaries. Our current intention is to permanently reinvest the majority of our earnings from foreign operations. Our current plans do not anticipate a need to repatriate cash to fund our domestic operations. In the event cash from foreign operations in our foreign operations is needed to fund operations in the U.S., we would be subject to additional income taxes in the United States reduced by any foreign taxes paid on these earnings.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended February 28, 2012 was $41.1 million, resulting from net income of $20.6 million, $22.5 million in non-cash charges and $(2.0) million net change in assets and liabilities. The non-cash charges primarily included depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and tax benefits related to stock benefit plans, less deferred income tax and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation which are recorded in financing activities. Net change in assets and liabilities for the first three months of fiscal year 2012 included a decrease in accounts receivable, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets, a decrease in accounts payable, a decrease in accrued liabilities and restructuring costs and an increase in deferred revenue.

To the extent that non-cash items increase or decrease our future operating results, there will be no corresponding impact on our cash flows. After excluding the effects of these non-cash charges, the primary changes in cash flows relating to operating activities result from changes in working capital. Our primary source of operating cash flows is the collection of accounts receivable from our customers, including maintenance which is typically invoiced annually in advance. Our operating cash flows are also impacted by the timing of payments to our vendors for accounts payable and other liabilities. We generally pay our vendors and service providers in accordance with the invoice terms and conditions. The timing of cash payments in future periods will be impacted by the terms of our accounts payable arrangements.

Net cash used in investing activities was $7.3 million for the three months ended February 28, 2012, due to $6.7 million in capital expenditures and $1.0 million in restricted cash pledged as security, which were partially offset by $0.4 million in other investing activities.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by financing activities was $13.3 million for the three months ended February 28, 2012, resulting primarily from $68.1 million in borrowings under revolving credit facility, $11.9 million in cash received from the exercise of stock options and the sale of our common stock under our ESPP and $5.9 million in excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, which were partially offset by $67.5 million of repurchases of shares of our common stock in the open market pursuant to our stock repurchase program, $4.4 million in withholding taxes related to restricted stock net share settlement and a $0.6 million payment of long-term debt.

On December 21, 2010, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $300.0 million of our outstanding common stock from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.

Subsequent to the end of our first fiscal quarter, on March 29, 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $300.0 million of our outstanding common stock from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. In connection with the approval of this program, our Board of Directors also terminated our previous $300.0 million stock repurchase program from December 2010, and the remaining authorized amount of $38.4 million under the December 2010 stock repurchase program available for repurchasing common stock was canceled.

We currently anticipate that our operating expenses will grow in absolute dollars for the foreseeable future, and we intend to fund our operating expenses primarily through cash flows from operations. We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and amounts available under our line of credit together with expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, and currently approved stock repurchases for at least the next twelve months. Should demand for our products and services significantly decline over the next twelve months, the available cash provided by operations could be adversely impacted.

Credit Facility

In November 2009, we entered into a three year $150.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2009 Credit Facility”). In December 2011, we and one of our subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2011 Credit Facility”). The 2011 Credit Facility matures on December 19, 2016 and provides for borrowings of up to $250.0 million with a sublimit for swing line loans of up to $10.0 million and standby letters of credit in a face amount of up to $50.0 million. We have an option to request that the lenders increase the available commitments by up to an additional $100.0 million for total borrowings of up to $350 million.

Revolving loans accrue interest at a per annum rate based on, at our option, either (i) the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.00%, depending on TIBCO’s consolidated leverage ratio or (ii) the LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00%, depending on TIBCO’s consolidated leverage ratio, for various interest periods. The base rate is defined as the highest of (i) the administrative agent’s prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus a margin equal to 0.50%, and (iii) the LIBOR rate for a one month interest period plus a margin of 1.00%. We are also obligated to pay commitment fees for the unused amount of the 2011 Credit Facility, letter of credit fees and other customary fees. Loan origination fees and issuance costs of approximately $1.9 million were incurred upon consummation of the 2011 Credit Facility which will be amortized through interest expense over a period of five years. Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate of 2.00% above the applicable interest rate will apply on all obligations during the existence of an event of default under the 2011 Credit Facility.

We must maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3.5:1.0 and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 2.5:1.0 in addition to other customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of February 28, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants under this facility.

As of February 28, 2012, we had borrowed $100.0 million under the 2011 Credit Facility. On April 5, 2012, we borrowed an additional $50.0 million under the credit facility.

Line of Credit

We also have a $20.0 million revolving line of credit that matures in November 2012 (the “Line of Credit”). The revolving Line of Credit is available for cash borrowings and for the issuance of letters of credit up to $20.0 million. The Line of Credit, as amended, contains financial covenants identical to those of the 2011 Credit Facility, as well as other customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of February 28, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Line of Credit.

In connection with the mortgage note payable, we entered into an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $13.0 million collateralized under the Line of Credit which renews for successive one-year periods until the mortgage note payable

has been satisfied in full. In addition, we have approximately $1.4 million of irrevocable letters of credit outstanding in connection with revenue transactions.

Table of Contents

As of February 28, 2012, no other borrowings were outstanding under the Line of Credit.

Guarantee Credit Line

We have a revolving guarantee credit line of approximately $13.2 million available for the issuance of bank guarantees denominated in foreign currency. Issued bank guarantees were approximately $12.5 million and $11.4 million as of February 28, 2012 and November 30, 2011, respectively, and were collateralized by pledging the equivalent amount under restricted cash as required under our guarantee credit line. Other various contractual commitments also require us to pledge cash as security and record this cash under restricted cash. As of February 28, 2012 and November 30, 2011, we had restricted cash of $14.7 million and $13.8 million, respectively, which is included in Other Assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Commitments

In June 2003, we purchased our corporate headquarters with a $54.0 million mortgage note to lower our operating costs. The mortgage note carries a 20-year amortization and a fixed annual interest rate of 5.50%. The principal balance of $34.4 million that will be remaining at the end of the 10-year term will be due as a final lump sum payment on July 1, 2013. Under the applicable terms of the mortgage note agreements, we are prohibited from acquiring another company without prior consent from the lender unless we maintain at least $50.0 million of cash or cash equivalents and comply with other non-financial terms as defined in the agreements. We were in compliance with all covenants under the mortgage note agreements as of February 28, 2012.

In conjunction with the purchase of our corporate headquarters, we entered into a 51-year lease of the land upon which the property is located. The lease was paid in advance for a total of $28.0 million, but is subject to adjustments every 10 years based upon changes in fair market value of the land. Should it become necessary, we have the option to prepay any rent increases as a result of a change in fair market value.

As of February 28, 2012, our contractual commitments associated with indebtedness, lease obligations and restructuring were as follows (in thousands):

For fiscal year 2012, the debt principal includes $100.0 million outstanding balance under the credit facility that is shown as long-term debt on the balance sheet due to the Company’s ability to extend the outstanding balance on a long-term basis under the 2011 Credit Facility.

Future minimum lease payments under restructured non-cancelable operating leases are included in Accrued Restructuring Costs in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The above commitment table does not include approximately $45.3 million of long-term income tax liabilities due to the fact that we are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of these potential future payments.

Indemnification

Our indemnification obligations are summarized in Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and interest rate changes.

Foreign Currency Risk

We conduct business in the Americas, EMEA and APJ and transact business in approximately 25 foreign currencies worldwide. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or changes in economic conditions in foreign markets. We enter into forward contracts with financial institutions to manage our currency exposure related to net assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, and these forward contracts are generally settled monthly. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. We use natural hedges, for example, by offsetting exposures in net assets for one entity with net liabilities of the same currency for another entity. Generally, we manage our currency risk so that an increase or decrease in the value of our forward contracts would offset a corresponding decrease or increase in the US dollar value of net assets or liabilities exposed to the shift in that particular currency, thereby minimizing the impact on earnings. As of February 28, 2012, we had two outstanding forward contracts denominated in United States dollars and two outstanding forward contracts denominated in Euros, that resulted in a net loss of $0.1 million.

We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as we convert the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars in consolidation. If there is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the conversion of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars will lead to translation gains or losses, which are recorded net as a component of other comprehensive income.

Interest Rate Risk

Our investment policy is designed to protect and preserve invested funds by limiting default, market and investment risk. Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to interest paid on our credit facility and our investments.

Currently, we maintain our cash in current accounts or money market funds. In general, money market funds are not considered to be subject to interest rate risk because the interest paid on such funds fluctuates with the prevailing interest rate. As of February 28, 2012, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $354.4 million, of which $16.7 million was held in money market funds. As of February 28, 2012, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would not have a significant impact on the fair value of our investments.

Interest on borrowings under the credit facility is based at specified margins above either LIBOR or a base rate defined in the credit facility. Our exposure to interest rate risk under the credit facility will depend on the extent to which we utilize such facility. As of February 28, 2012, our credit facility had a borrowing capacity of $250.0 million and we had $100.0 million outstanding under our credit facility. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the LIBOR or Prime Rate-based interest rate on our credit facility would result in an increase in our interest expense by $1.0 million per year for every $100.0 million borrowed. See Note 8 for a discussion of our credit facility.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information 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.

 

32


Table of Contents

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, the design of a control system must reflect that there are resource constraints, thus, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the probability of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Our legal proceedings are detailed in Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the following risk factors, as well as other factors of which we may be unaware or do not currently view as significant, could materially and adversely affect our future operating results and could cause actual events to differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements we make about our business. These risk factors should be read in conjunction with the other information contained in our other SEC filings, including our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011.

Our future revenue is unpredictable, and we expect our quarterly operating results to fluctuate, which may cause our stock price to decline.

As a result of the evolving nature of the markets in which we compete and the size of our customer agreements, we have difficulty accurately forecasting our revenue in any given period. In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this section, a number of factors may cause our revenue to fall short of our expectations, or those of stock market analysts and investors, or cause fluctuations in our operating results, including:

 

   

the relatively long sales cycles for many of our products;

 

   

the timing of our new products or product enhancements or any delays in such introductions;

 

   

the delay or deferral of customer implementation of our products;

 

   

changes in customer budgets and decision making processes that could affect both the timing and size of any transaction;

 

   

reduced spending in the industries that license our products;

 

   

our dependence on large deals, which, if such deals do not close, can greatly impact revenues for a particular quarter;

 

   

the timing, size and mix of orders from customers;

 

   

the deferral of license revenue to future periods due to the timing of the execution of an agreement or our ability to deliver the products;

 

   

the impact of our provision of services and customer-required contractual terms on our recognition of license revenue;

 

   

any unanticipated difficulty we encounter in integrating acquired businesses, products or technologies;

 

   

the tendency of some of our customers to wait until the end of a fiscal quarter or our fiscal year before placing an order in the hope of obtaining more favorable terms;

 

   

the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our operations and the evaluation of strategic transactions; and

 

   

changes in accounting rules, such as recording expenses for employee stock option grants and tax accounting, including accounting for uncertain tax positions.

A substantial portion of our product license orders are usually received in the last month of each fiscal quarter, with a concentration of such orders in the final two weeks of the quarter. While we typically ship product licenses shortly after the receipt of an order, we may have license orders that have not shipped at the end of any given quarter. Because the amount of such product license orders may vary, the amount, if any, of such orders at the end of a particular quarter is not a reliable predictor of our future performance.

Because it is difficult for us to predict our quarterly operating results, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be a good indication of our future performance. If, as a result of these difficulties, our revenues and operating results do not meet the expectations of our investors or securities analysts or fall below guidance we may provide to the market, the price of our common stock may decline.

Uneven growth and periods of contraction in the infrastructure software market have caused our revenue to decline in the past and could cause our revenue or results of operations to fall below expectations in the future.

We earn a substantial portion of our revenue from licenses of our infrastructure software, including application integration software and sales of related services. We expect to earn substantially all of our revenue in the foreseeable future from sales of this software and the related services. Our future financial performance will depend on continued growth in the number of organizations demanding software and services for application integration and information delivery and companies seeking outside vendors to develop, manage and maintain this software for their critical applications. Lower spending by corporate and governmental customers around the world, which has had a disproportionate impact on information technology spending, has led to a reduction in sales in the past and may continue to do so in the future. Many of our potential customers have made significant investments in internally developed systems and would incur significant costs in switching to third-party products, which may substantially inhibit the growth of the market for infrastructure software. If the market fails to grow, or grows more slowly than we expect, our sales will be adversely affected. Also, even if corporate and governmental spending increases and companies make greater investments in information technology and infrastructure software, our revenue may not grow at the same pace.

Our success depends on our ability to overcome significant competition.

The market for our products and services is extremely competitive and subject to rapid change. We compete with a variety of large and small providers of infrastructure software, SOA, business optimization and process automation and collaboration, including companies such as IBM, Oracle, Pegasystems, Progress Software, SAP, and Software AG. We also face competition for certain aspects of our product and service offerings from major systems integrators, and our customers have alternatives to our proprietary software from open source software providers that provide software and intellectual property, typically without charging license fees, or from other competitors offering products through alternative business models, such as software as a service. Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, product development and marketing resources, greater name recognition, and larger customer bases than we do. This may allow our present or future competitors to develop products comparable or superior to those we offer; adapt more quickly than we do to new technologies, evolving industry trends or customer requirements; or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we do. For example, some of our competitors offer products outside our segment and routinely bundle these products with their infrastructure software products. Also, some of our competitors are expanding their competitive product offerings and strengthening their market position through increases in capital expenditures for internal research and development. Accordingly, we may not be able to compete effectively in our markets or against existing and future competitors, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Additionally, consolidation in the software industry has been a trend in recent years and is continuing at a rapid pace. Our current and potential competitors could make additional strategic acquisitions, consolidate their operations, or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with other solution providers, allowing them to broaden their offerings of products and solutions and more effectively address the needs of our prospective customers, including acting as sole-source vendors for our customers. If any of this were to occur, it could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our strategy contemplates future acquisitions that may result in our incurring unanticipated expenses or additional debt, difficulty in integrating our operations and dilution to our stockholders and may harm our operating results.

Our success depends in part on our ability to continually enhance and broaden our product offerings in response to changing technologies, customer demands and competitive pressures. We have acquired and expect to continue to acquire complementary businesses, products or technologies as part of our corporate strategy. In this regard, we have made a number of strategic acquisitions in recent years. We do not know if we will be able to complete any future acquisitions or that we will be able to successfully integrate any acquired business, operate it profitably or retain its key employees. Integrating any newly acquired business, product or technology could be expensive and time-consuming, could disrupt our ongoing business and financial performance, could distract our management, could increase our debt to finance such acquisition, could increase our capital expenditures to support such new business and could require us to manage larger and more complex operations. Therefore, we may not be able, either immediately post-acquisition or ever, to replicate the pre-acquisition revenues achieved by companies that we acquire or achieve the benefits of the acquisition we anticipated in valuing the businesses, products or technologies we acquire. Furthermore, the costs of integrating acquired companies in international transactions can be particularly high, due, among other things, to local laws and regulations. If we are unable to integrate any newly acquired entity, products or technology effectively, our business, financial condition and operating results would suffer. In addition, any amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation or other charges resulting from the costs of acquisitions could harm our operating results.

Table of Contents

In addition, we may face competition for acquisition targets from larger and more established companies with greater financial resources. Also, in order to finance any acquisition, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private financings or use our cash reserves. In that event, we may not be able to raise additional funds or we could be forced to obtain equity or debt financing on terms that are not favorable to us or that result in dilution to our stockholders. Use of our cash reserves for acquisitions could limit our financial flexibility in the future. The terms of existing or future loan agreements may place limits on our ability to incur additional debt to finance acquisitions. If we are not able to acquire strategically attractive businesses, products or technologies, we may not be able to remain competitive in our industry or achieve our overall growth plans.

We may not be able to achieve our key initiatives and grow our business as anticipated.

While we currently intend to grow our business by pursuing key initiatives to: broaden our product platform through internal development and acquisitions; increase our sales capacity by expanding our direct sales organization and developing our channel partnerships; expand our product offerings to new vertical markets; and employ marketing programs to increase awareness of our company and our products among existing and prospective customers, we cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve these key initiatives. Our success depends on our ability to: appropriately manage our expenses as we grow our organization; identify or acquire companies or assets at attractive valuations; enter into beneficial channel relationships; develop new products; and successfully execute our marketing and sales strategies. If we are not able to execute on these actions, our business may not grow as we anticipated, and our operating results could be adversely affected.

Our intellectual property or proprietary rights could be misappropriated, which could force us to become involved in expensive and time-consuming litigation and could harm our business and results of operations.

We regard our intellectual property as critical to our success. Accordingly, we rely upon a combination of copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade secret rights, patents, confidentiality agreements and licensing agreements to protect our intellectual property. Despite these protections, a third party could misappropriate our intellectual property. Any misappropriation of our proprietary information by third parties could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

In addition, the laws of some countries do not provide the same level of protection of our proprietary information as do the laws of the United States. If our proprietary information or material were misappropriated or challenged, we might have to engage in litigation to protect it. We might not succeed in protecting our proprietary information if we initiate intellectual property litigation, and, in any event, such litigation would be expensive and time-consuming, could divert our management’s attention away from running our business and could seriously harm our business.

Claims by others that our products may infringe their intellectual property rights may cause us to incur unexpected costs or prevent us from selling our products.

Third parties may claim that certain of our products infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights. In addition, our use of open source software components in our products may make us vulnerable to claims that our products infringe third-party intellectual property rights, in particular because many of the open source software components we may incorporate with our products may be developed by numerous independent parties over whom we exercise no supervision or control. “Open source software” is software that is covered by a license agreement which permits the user to liberally copy, modify and distribute the software, typically free of charge. Further, because patent applications in the United States and many other countries are not publicly disclosed at the time of filing, applications covering technology used in our software products may have been filed without our knowledge. We may be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time, including claims of alleged infringement of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties by us or our licensees in connection with their use of our products. Our software license agreements typically provide for indemnification of our customers for intellectual property infringement claims. Intellectual property litigation, with or without merit, is expensive and time consuming, could cause product shipment delays and could divert our management’s attention away from running our business and seriously harm our business. If we were to discover that our products violated the intellectual property rights of others, we would have to obtain licenses from these parties, which could require the payment of royalty or licensing fees, in order to continue marketing our products without substantial reengineering. We might not be able to obtain the necessary licenses on acceptable terms or at all, and if we could not obtain such licenses, we might not be able to reengineer our products successfully or in a timely fashion. If we fail to address any infringement issues successfully, we would be forced to incur significant costs, including damages and potentially satisfying indemnification obligations that we have to our customers, and we could be prevented from selling certain of our products.

We operate internationally and face risks attendant to those operations.

We earn a significant portion of our total revenues from international sales generated through our foreign direct and indirect operations. As a result of these sales operations, we face a variety of risks, including:

 

   

local political and economic instability;

 

   

tariffs, quotas and trade barriers and other varying regulatory or contractual requirements or limitations;

 

   

the engagement of activities by our employees, contractors, partners and agents, especially in countries with developing economies, that are prohibited by international and local trade and labor laws and other laws prohibiting corrupt payments to government officials, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act of 2010 and export control laws, in spite of our policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these laws;

 

   

restrictions on the transfer of funds;

 

   

currency exchange rate fluctuations;

 

   

increased expense and experience in developing, testing and making localized versions of our products;

 

   

managing our international operations; and

 

   

longer payment cycles, collecting receivables in a timely fashion and repatriating earnings.

Any of these factors, either individually or in combination, could materially impact our international operations and adversely affect our business as a whole.

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates could negatively affect our operating results.

In addition to receiving revenue and incurring expenses in U.S. dollars, we also receive revenue and incur expenses in approximately twenty-five foreign currencies. Our revenue, expenses and net income are impacted by foreign exchange rate fluctuations against the U.S. dollar. For example, customers in foreign countries may incur higher costs due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, which could result in a delay of payments or a default on credit extended to them. Any material delay or default in our collection of significant accounts could have a negative result on our results of operations. Additionally, any strengthening of the U.S. dollar could require us to offer discounts, reduce pricing or offer other incentives to mitigate any negative effects on demand from such rise in the U.S. dollar. Further, in the event that the U.S. dollar weakens compared to foreign currencies, we may incur higher operating expenses in those locations and, therefore, our business, financial condition and operating results could suffer.

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts, the majority of which mature within approximately one month, in an effort to manage our exposure from changes in value of certain foreign currency denominated net assets and liabilities. Our foreign currency forward contracts are intended to reduce, but do not eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rate movements. For example, we do not execute forward contracts in all currencies in which we conduct business. In addition, our hedging program may not reduce the impact of short-term or long-term volatility in foreign exchange rates. Accordingly, amounts denominated in such foreign currencies may fluctuate in value and produce significant earnings and cash flow volatility.

We may not be able to successfully offer products and enhancements that respond to emerging technological trends and customers’ needs.

If we are not successful in developing enhancements to existing products and new products in a timely manner, achieving customer acceptance for our existing and new product offerings or generating higher average selling prices, our gross margins may decline, and our business and operating results may suffer. Furthermore, any of our new product offerings or significant enhancements to current product offerings could cause some customers to delay making new or additional purchases while they fully evaluate any new offerings we might have introduced to the market, which in turn may slow sales and adversely affect operating results for an indeterminate period of time. Also, we may not execute successfully on our product plans because of errors in product planning or timing or acceptance by the marketplace, technical hurdles that we fail to overcome in a timely fashion or a lack of appropriate resources. This could result in competitors providing those solutions before we do and loss of market share, net sales and earnings.

Our stock price may be volatile, which could cause investors to incur significant losses.

The stock market in general and the stock prices of technology companies in particular, have experienced volatility which has often been unrelated to the operating performance of any particular company or companies. Some of the factors that may affect our common stock price other than our operating results include:

 

   

uncertainty about global economic or political conditions;

 

   

general volatility in the capital markets;

 

   

business developments by us or our competitors, including material acquisitions or dispositions and strategic investments;

 

   

industry developments and announcements by us or our competitors;

 

   

changes in estimates and recommendations by securities analysts;

 

   

speculation in the press or investment community; and

 

   

changes in the accounting rules.

Since December 1, 2010 through the end of our first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2012, our stock price has fluctuated between a low of $18.43 and a high of $31.45. If market or industry-based fluctuations continue, our stock price could decline in the future regardless of our actual operating performance and investors could incur significant losses.

Economic and market conditions have in the past adversely affected, and may in the future adversely affect, our operating results.

We are subject to risks arising from adverse changes and uncertainty in domestic and global economies. For example, past domestic and global economic downturns resulted in reduced demand for information technology, including enterprise software and services. The direction and relative strength of the global economy continues to be uncertain and volatile, and could be adversely affected by, among other things, concerns regarding Europe’s potential sovereign-debt crisis, unrest in the Middle East, tightening in the credit markets, downturns in the financial industry, issues related to the United States’ debt and budget, and other geopolitical factors, and makes it difficult for us to forecast operating results and to make decisions about future investments. We cannot predict the duration of these economic conditions or the impact they may have on our customers or business. Information technology spending has historically declined or been postponed as general economic and market conditions have worsened. During challenging and uncertain economic times and in tight credit markets, many customers delay or reduce technology purchases. Contract negotiations may become more protracted or difficult if customers institute additional internal approvals for technology purchases or require more negotiation of contract terms and conditions. These economic conditions, and uncertainty as to the general direction of the macroeconomic environment, are beyond our control and could result in reductions in sales of our products, longer sales cycles, difficulties in collection of accounts receivable or delayed payments, slower adoption of new technologies, increased price competition and reductions in the rate at which our customers renew their maintenance agreements and procure consulting services.

Increases in consulting services revenue may decrease overall margins.

We have historically realized, and may continue in the future to realize, an increasingly high percentage of our revenue from services, which has a lower profit margin than license or maintenance revenue. As a result, if consulting and training services revenue increases as a percentage of total revenue, our overall profit margin may decrease, which could impact our stock price.

If we cannot successfully recruit, retain and integrate highly skilled employees, we may not be able to execute our business strategy effectively.

If we fail to retain and recruit key management, sales and other skilled employees, our business and our ability to obtain new customers, develop new products and provide acceptable levels of customer service could suffer. As we grow, we must invest significantly in building our sales, marketing and engineering groups. Competition for these people in the software industry is intense, and we may not be able to successfully recruit, train or retain qualified personnel. We are competing against companies with greater financial resources and name recognition for these employees, and as such, there is no assurance that we will be able to meet our hiring needs or hire the most qualified candidates. The success of our business is also heavily dependent on the leadership of our key management personnel, including Vivek Ranadivé, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of one or more key employees could adversely affect our continued operations.

 

38


Table of Contents

In addition, we must successfully integrate new employees into our operations and generate sufficient revenues to justify the costs associated with these employees. If we fail to successfully integrate employees or to generate the revenue necessary to justify employee-related expenses, we may be forced to reduce our headcount, which could force us to incur significant expenses and could harm our business and operating results.

The inability to upsell to our current customers or the loss of any significant customer could harm our business and cause our stock price to decline.

We do not have long-term sales contracts with any of our customers. Our customers may choose not to purchase our products or not to use our services in the future. As a result, a customer that generates substantial revenue for us in one period may not be a source of revenue in subsequent periods. Any inability on our part to upsell to and generate revenues from our existing customers or the loss of a significant customer could adversely affect our business and operating results.

The use of open source software in our products may expose us to additional risks.

Certain open source software is licensed pursuant to license agreements that require a user who distributes the open source software as a component of the user’s software to disclose publicly part or all of the source code to the user’s software. This effectively renders what was previously proprietary software open source software. As competition in our markets increases, we must strive to be cost-effective in our product development activities. Many features we may wish to add to our products in the future may be available as open source software and our development team may wish to make use of this software to reduce development costs and speed up the development process. While we carefully monitor the use of all open source software and try to ensure that no open source software is used in such a way as to require us to disclose the source code to the related product, such use could inadvertently occur. Additionally, if a third party has incorporated certain types of open source software into its software but has failed to disclose the presence of such open source software and we embed that third party software into one or more of our products, we could, under certain circumstances, be required to disclose the source code to our product. This could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Market acceptance of new platforms, standards and technologies may require us to undergo the expense of developing and maintaining compatible product solutions.

Our software products can be licensed for use with a variety of platforms, standards and technologies, and we are constantly evaluating the feasibility of adding new platforms, standards and technologies. There may be future or existing platforms, standards and technologies that achieve popularity in the marketplace which may not be architecturally compatible with our software products. In addition, the effort and expense of developing, testing and maintaining software products will increase as more platforms, standards and technologies achieve market acceptance within our target markets. If we are unable to achieve market acceptance of our software products or adapt to new platforms, standards and technologies, our sales and revenues will be adversely affected.

Developing and maintaining different software products could place a significant strain on our resources and software product release schedules, which could harm our revenue and financial condition. If we are not able to develop software for accepted platforms, standards and technologies, our license and service revenues and our gross margins could be adversely affected. In addition, if the platforms, standards and technologies we have developed software for are not accepted, our license and service revenues and our gross margins could be adversely affected.

Any unauthorized, and potentially improper, actions of our personnel could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

The recognition of our revenue depends on, among other things, the terms negotiated in our contracts with our customers. Our personnel may act outside of their authority and negotiate additional terms without our knowledge. We have implemented policies to help prevent and discourage such conduct, but there can be no assurance that such policies will be followed. For instance, in the event that our sales personnel negotiate terms that do not appear in the contract and of which we are unaware, whether such additional terms are written or verbal, we could be prevented from recognizing revenue in accordance with our plans. Furthermore, depending on when we learn of unauthorized actions and the size of the transactions involved, we may have to restate revenue for a previously reported period, which would seriously harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

We may incur impairments to goodwill, intangible or long-lived assets.

We review our goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable.

Significant negative industry or economic trends, a decline in the market price of our common stock, reduced estimates of future cash flows or disruptions to our business could indicate that goodwill, intangible or long-lived assets might be impaired. If, in any period, our stock price decreases to the point where our market capitalization is less than our book value, this too could indicate a potential impairment and we may be required to record an impairment charge in that period.

Our valuation methodology for assessing impairment requires management to make judgments and assumptions based on historical experience and to rely on projections of future operating performance. We operate in highly competitive environments and projections of future operating results and cash flows may vary significantly from results. Additionally, if our analysis results in an impairment to our goodwill, we would be required to record a non-cash charge to earnings in our financial statements during a period in which such impairment is determined to exist.

Any of these factors could have a negative impact on our operating results.

Our debt agreements contain certain restrictions that may limit our ability to operate our business.

The agreements governing our debt agreements contain, and any other future debt agreement we enter into may contain, restrictive covenants that limit our ability to operate our business, including, in each case subject to certain exceptions, restrictions on our ability to:

 

   

incur indebtedness;

 

   

incur indebtedness at the subsidiary level;

 

   

grant liens;

 

   

enter into certain mergers or sell all or substantially all of our assets;

 

   

make certain payments on our equity, including paying dividends;

 

   

make dispositions;

 

   

make investments;

 

   

change our business;

 

   

enter into transactions with our affiliates; and

 

   

enter into certain restrictive agreements.

In addition, our debt agreements contain financial covenants and additional affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to comply with these covenants is dependent on our future performance, which will be subject to many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including prevailing economic conditions. If we are not able to comply with all of these covenants for any reason and we have debt outstanding at the time of such failure, some or all of our outstanding debt could become immediately due and payable and the incurrence of additional debt under the credit facilities would not be allowed. If our cash is utilized to repay any outstanding debt, depending on the amount of debt outstanding, we could experience an immediate and significant reduction in working capital available to operate our business.

As a result of these covenants, our ability to respond to changes in business and economic conditions and to obtain additional financing, if needed, may be significantly restricted, and we may be prevented from engaging in transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to us, such as strategic acquisitions or joint ventures.

Any losses we incur as a result of our exposure to the credit risk of our customers and partners could harm our results of operations.

We monitor individual customer payment capability in granting credit arrangements, seek to limit credit to amounts we believe the customers can pay, and maintain reserves we believe are adequate to cover exposure for doubtful accounts. As we have grown our revenue and customer base, our exposure to credit risk has increased. Any material losses we incur as a result of customer defaults could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We may have exposure to additional tax liabilities.

As a multinational corporation, we are subject to income taxes in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our global provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities. In the ordinary course of a global business, there are many intercompany transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Additionally, we may be subject to additional tax expenses to the extent we repatriate cash from our foreign jurisdictions into the United States, and the cost of such repatriation may have the effect of restricting our ability to use our cash as we would like. Our income tax returns are routinely subject to audits by tax authorities. Although we regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine our tax estimates, a final determination of tax audits or tax disputes could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We are also subject to non-income taxes, such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, net worth, property and goods and services taxes in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. We are regularly under audit by tax authorities with respect to these non-income taxes and may have exposure to additional non-income tax liabilities which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, our future effective tax rates could be favorably or unfavorably affected by changes in tax rates, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities, changes in the geographical allocation of our business, or changes in tax laws or their interpretation. Such changes could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Changes in existing financial accounting standards or practices, or taxation rules or practices may adversely affect our results of operations.

Changes in existing accounting or taxation rules or practices, new accounting pronouncements or taxation rules, or varying interpretations of current accounting pronouncements or taxation practice could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations or the manner in which we conduct our business. Further, such changes could potentially affect our reporting of transactions completed before such changes are effective. For example, on December 1, 2009, we adopted revised accounting guidance for business combinations which required acquisition related costs to be expensed as incurred, restructuring costs generally to be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date, in-process research and development to be capitalized as an intangible asset with an indefinite life until completion or abandonment, and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period. A change in existing financial accounting standards or practices may even retroactively adversely affect previously reported transactions.

In addition, the Financial Accounting Standards Board is currently working with the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to converge certain accounting principles and to facilitate more comparable financial reporting between companies that are required to follow GAAP and those that are required to follow International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). These projects may result in different accounting principles under GAAP, which may have a material impact on the way in which we report financial results in areas including, but not limited to, principles for recognizing revenue, lease accounting, and financial statement presentation. A change in accounting principles from GAAP to IFRS may have a material impact on our financial statements should IFRS be incorporated into the financial reporting system for U.S. companies.

Compliance with changing regulations of corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses.

Because we are a publicly-traded company, we are subject to certain federal, state and other rules and regulations, including those required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, new regulations promulgated by the SEC and the rules of the Nasdaq Marketplace. These and other laws relating to corporate governance and public disclosure have increased our general and administrative expenses. These new or changed laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases, and as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. As a result, we intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards result in different outcomes from those intended by regulatory or governing bodies, our business may be harmed.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that management report annually on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and identify any material weaknesses in our internal control and financial reporting environment. If management identifies any material weaknesses, their correction could require remedial measures which could be costly and time-consuming. In addition, the presence of material weaknesses could result in financial statement errors which in turn could require us to restate our operating results. Any identification by us or our independent registered public accounting firm of material weaknesses, even if quickly remedied, could damage investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could affect our stock price and potentially subject us to litigation.

The continuous process of maintaining and adapting our internal controls and complying with Section 404 is expensive and time-consuming, and requires significant management attention. We cannot be sure that our internal control measures will continue to provide adequate control over our financial processes and reporting and ensure compliance with Section 404. Any failure by us to comply with Section 404 could subject us to a variety of administrative sanctions, which could reduce our stock price.

The outcome of litigation pending against us could require us to expend significant resources and could harm our business and financial resources.

Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q describes the litigation pending against us and our directors and officers. The uncertainty associated with substantial unresolved lawsuits or future lawsuits could harm our business, financial condition and reputation. The defense of the lawsuits could result in the diversion of our management’s time and attention away from business operations, which could harm our business. Negative developments with respect to the lawsuits could cause our stock price to decline. In addition, although we are unable to determine the amount, if any, that we may be required to pay in connection with the resolution of the current lawsuits or any future lawsuit by settlement or otherwise, any such payment could seriously harm our financial condition and liquidity.

Our software may have defects or errors that could lead to a loss of revenues or product liability claims.

Our products and platforms use complex technologies and, despite extensive testing and quality control procedures, may contain defects or errors, especially when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. If defects or errors are discovered after commercial release of either new versions or enhancements of our products and platforms:

 

   

potential customers may delay purchases;

 

   

customers may react negatively, which could reduce future sales;

 

   

our reputation in the marketplace may be damaged;

 

   

we may have to defend against product liability claims;

 

   

we may be required to indemnify our customers, distributors, original equipment manufacturers or other resellers;

 

   

we may incur additional service and warranty costs; and

 

   

we may have to divert additional development resources to correct the defects and errors, which may result in the delay of new product releases or upgrades.

If any or all of the foregoing occur, we may lose revenues, incur higher operating expenses and lose market share, any of which could severely harm our financial condition and operating results.

Any failure by us to meet the requirements of current or newly-targeted customers may have a detrimental impact on our business or operating results.

We may wish to expand our customer base into markets in which we have limited experience. In some cases, customers in different markets, such as financial services or government, have specific regulatory or other requirements which we must meet. For example, in order to maintain contracts with the United States government, we must comply with specific rules and regulations relating to and that govern such contracts. Government contracts are generally subject to audits and investigations which could result in various civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, refund of a portion of fees received, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions or debarment from future government business. If we fail to meet such requirements in the future, we could be subject to civil or criminal liability or a reduction of revenue which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Aspects of our business are subject to privacy concerns and a variety of U.S. and international laws regarding data protection.

Aspects of our business are subject to federal, state and international laws regarding privacy and protection of user data. For example, in the United States regulations such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (as amended or supplemented), which protects and restricts the use of consumer credit and financial information, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (as amended or supplemented), which regulates the use and disclosure of personal health information, impose significant requirements and obligations on businesses that may affect the use and adoption of our service. The European Union has also adopted a data privacy directive that requires member states to impose restrictions on the collection and use of personal data that, in some respects, are far more stringent, and impose more significant burdens on subject businesses, than current privacy standards in the United States. We post, on our website, our privacy policies and practices concerning the use and disclosure of user data. Any failure by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or other federal, state or international privacy-related or data protection laws and regulations could result in proceedings against us by governmental entities or others which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

It is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data practices. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines and penalties, a governmental order requiring that we change our data practices could result, which in turn could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. Compliance with these regulations may involve significant costs or require changes in business practices that result in reduced revenue. Noncompliance could result in penalties being imposed on us or orders that we cease conducting the noncompliant activity.

We face a variety of risks in doing business with the U.S. and foreign governments, various state and local governments, and agencies, including risks related to the procurement process, budget constraints and cycles, termination of contracts and audits.

Our customers include the U.S. government and a number of state and local governments or agencies. There are a variety of risks in doing business with government entities, including:

Procurement. Contracting with public sector customers is highly competitive and can be time-consuming and expensive, requiring that we incur significant up-front time and expense without any assurance that we will win a contract.

Budgetary Constraints and Cycles. Demand and payment for our products and services are impacted by public sector budgetary cycles and funding availability, with funding reductions or delays adversely impacting public sector demand for our products and services.

Termination of Contracts. Public sector customers often have contractual or other legal rights to terminate current contracts for convenience or due to a default. If a contract is terminated for convenience, which can occur if the customer’s needs change, we may only be able to collect payment for products or services delivered prior to termination and settlement expenses. If a contract is terminated because of default, we may not recover even those amounts, and we may be liable for excess costs incurred by the customer for procuring alternative products or services.

Audits. The U.S. government and state and local governments and agencies routinely investigate and audit government contractors for compliance with a variety of complex laws, regulations, and contract provisions relating to the formation, administration or performance of government contracts, including provisions governing reports of and remittances of fees based on sales under government contracts, price protection, compliance with socio-economic policies, and other terms that are particular to government contracts. If, as a result of an audit or review, it is determined that we have failed to comply with such laws, regulations or contract provisions, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, refunds of a portion of fees received, suspension of payments, cost associated with the triggering of price reduction clauses, fines and suspensions or debarment from future government business, and we may suffer harm to our reputation if we are found to have violated terms of our government contracts.

Our customers also include a number of foreign governments and agencies. Similar procurement, budgetary, contract and audit risks also apply to our doing business with these foreign entities. In addition, compliance with complex regulations and contracting provisions in a variety of jurisdictions can be expensive and consume significant management resources. In certain jurisdictions our ability to win business may be constrained by political and other factors unrelated to our competitive position in the market. Each of these difficulties could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Natural or other disasters could disrupt our business and result in loss of revenue or in higher expenses.

Natural disasters, terrorist activities and other business disruptions could seriously harm our revenue and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses. Our corporate headquarters and many of our operations are located in

Table of Contents

California, a seismically active region. In addition, many of our current and potential customers are concentrated in a few geographic areas. A natural disaster in one of these regions could have a material adverse impact on our U.S. and foreign operations, operating results and financial condition. Further, any unanticipated business disruption caused by Internet security threats, damage to global communication networks or otherwise could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.

Some provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as our stockholder rights plan, may have anti-takeover effects.

We have a stockholder rights plan providing for one right for each outstanding share of our common stock. Each right, when exercisable, entitles the registered holder to purchase certain securities at a specified purchase price. The rights plan may have the anti-takeover effect of causing substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire TIBCO on terms not approved by our Board of Directors. The existence of the rights plan could limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock and could discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that stockholders may consider favorable. In addition, provisions of our current certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as Delaware corporate law, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the support of our Board of Directors, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On December 21, 2010, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $300.0 million of our outstanding common stock from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.

Subsequent to the end of our first fiscal quarter, on March 29, 2012 we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program pursuant to which we may repurchase up to $300.0 million of our outstanding common stock from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. In connection with the approval of this program, our Board of Directors also terminated our previous $300.0 million stock repurchase program from December 2010, and the remaining authorized amount of approximately $38.4 million under the December 2010 stock repurchase program was canceled.
