PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
CA, Inc.:

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of CA, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2011, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of CA, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 16, 2011, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2011
(unaudited)

NOTE A — ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of CA, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 270, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 (2011 Form 10-K).

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, these estimates may ultimately differ from actual results.

Operating results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.

Divestitures: In June 2011, the Company sold its Internet Security business and in June 2010, the Company sold its Information Governance business. The results of operations for these businesses, and the related gain (loss) on disposal have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The effects of the discontinued components were immaterial to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2011. See Note C, “Divestitures,” for additional information.

In September 2010, the Company sold an equity investment and recognized a gain of approximately $10 million, which is included in “Other (gains) expenses, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2010.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held in numerous locations throughout the world, with approximately 66% being held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries outside the United States at September 30, 2011.

Fair Value Measurements: Fair value is the price that would be received for an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company is required to classify certain assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy:

—		Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

—		Level 2: Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and

—		Level 3: Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

See Note K, “Fair Value Measurements,” for additional information.

Deferred Revenue (Billed or Collected): The Company accounts for unearned revenue on billed amounts due from customers on a gross basis. Unearned revenue on billed installments (collected or uncollected) is reported as deferred revenue in the liability section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred revenue (billed or collected) excludes unbilled contractual commitments executed under license and maintenance agreements that will be billed in future periods.

CA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2011
(unaudited)

Statements of Cash Flows: For the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, interest payments, net were approximately $30 million and $42 million, respectively, and income taxes paid were approximately $221 million and $134 million, respectively.

The Company uses a notional pooling arrangement with an international bank to help manage global liquidity requirements. Under this pooling arrangement, the Company and its participating subsidiaries may maintain either cash deposit or borrowing positions through local currency accounts with the bank, so long as the aggregate position of the global pool is a notionally calculated net cash deposit. Because the bank maintains a security interest in the cash deposits, and has the right to offset the cash deposits against the borrowings, the bank provides the Company and its participating subsidiaries favorable interest terms on both cash deposits and borrowings. At September 30, 2011 while the overall pool was positive, there was approximately $61 million of borrowing positions outstanding under this cash pooling arrangement which is included in the “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” line item on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Borrowings and repayments were approximately $164 million and $97 million, respectively, for the six months ended September 30, 2011. At March 31, 2011, there were no borrowings outstanding under the cash pooling arrangement.

Non-cash financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 consisted of treasury shares issued in connection with the following: share-based incentive awards granted under the Company’s equity compensation plans of approximately $53 million (net of approximately $26 million of taxes withheld) and $63 million (net of approximately $26 million of taxes withheld), respectively; and discretionary stock contributions to the CA, Inc. Savings Harvest Plan of approximately $13 million and $25 million, respectively.

NOTE B — ACQUISITIONS

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, their results of operations have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements since the respective dates of the acquisitions. The purchase price for each of the Company’s acquisitions is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquired entity.

In August 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the voting equity interest of Interactive TKO, Inc. (ITKO), a privately held provider of service simulation solutions for developing applications in composite and cloud environments. The acquisition expands solutions the Company offers enterprises and service providers for using and providing cloud computing to deliver business services. The total purchase price of the acquisition was approximately $317 million.

The pro forma effects of the Company’s fiscal year 2012 acquisitions to the Company’s revenues and results of operations during fiscal year 2011 and 2012 were considered immaterial. The purchase price allocation of the Company’s fiscal year 2012 acquisitions is as follows:


	ITKO						Estimated
(dollars in millions)	Acquisition⁽²⁾			Other Acquisitions			Useful Life

Finite-lived intangible assets⁽¹⁾	$	6		$	11		3-15 years
Purchased software		148			8		5-7 years
Goodwill		192			20		Indefinite
Deferred tax assets/(liabilities)		(50	)		(3	)		—
Other assets net of other liabilities assumed⁽³⁾		21			3			—


Purchase Price	$	317		$	39


⁽¹⁾		Includes customer relationships and trade names.

⁽²⁾		Purchase price allocation is preliminary due to ongoing analysis to determine the fair value of acquired intangibles and the tax basis of acquired assets and liabilities.

⁽³⁾		Includes approximately $20 million of cash acquired relating to ITKO.

CA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2011
(unaudited)

Transaction costs for acquisitions were immaterial. The excess purchase price over the estimated value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded to goodwill. The preliminary allocation of a significant portion of the purchase price to goodwill was predominantly due to the intangible assets that are not separable, such as assembled workforce and going concern. The goodwill relating to the ITKO acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill relating to the other fiscal year 2012 acquisitions is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company’s acquisitions during the first half of fiscal year 2011 were considered immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, compared with the results of the Company’s operations. Therefore, purchase accounting information and pro forma disclosure are not presented.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the voting equity interests of Arcot Systems, Inc. (Arcot), a privately held provider of authentication and fraud prevention solutions through on-premises software or cloud services. The purchase price allocation was finalized in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and no material adjustments were made to amounts previously reported. The following represents the allocation of the purchase price and estimated useful lives to the acquired net assets of Arcot:


				Estimated
(dollars in millions)	Arcot			Useful Life

Finite-lived intangible assets⁽¹⁾	$	39		2-5 years
Purchased software		86		10 years
Goodwill		60		Indefinite
Deferred tax assets/(liabilities)		(1	)		—
Other assets net of other liabilities assumed		13			—


Purchase Price	$	197


⁽¹⁾		Includes customer relationships and trade names.

The Company had approximately $44 million and $77 million of accrued acquisition-related costs at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively, all of which related to purchase price amounts withheld subject to indemnification protections.

NOTE C — DIVESTITURES

In June 2011, the Company sold its Internet Security business for approximately $14 million and recognized a gain on disposal of approximately $23 million, including tax expense of approximately $18 million. In June 2010, the Company sold its Information Governance business for approximately $19 million and recognized a loss on disposal of approximately $5 million, including tax expense of approximately $4 million.

The income (loss) from discontinued components for the sale of the Company’s Internet Security business, which occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, consists of the following:


	Six Months Ended
	September 30, 2011
	(in millions)

NOTE D — SEVERANCE AND EXIT COSTS

Fiscal 2012 workforce reduction: The Fiscal 2012 workforce reduction plan (Fiscal 2012 Plan) was announced in July 2011 and consisted of a workforce reduction of approximately 400 positions.

This action is part of our efforts to reallocate resources and divest nonstrategic parts of the business. The total amounts incurred with respect to severance under the Fiscal 2012 Plan were $44 million, of which approximately $27 million is included in “Selling and marketing,” $9 million is included in “Product development and enhancements,” $5 million is included in “General and administrative,” $2 million is included in “Costs of licensing and maintenance” and $1 million is included in “Cost of professional services” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Actions under the Fiscal 2012 Plan are expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2012.

Fiscal 2010 restructuring plan: The Fiscal 2010 restructuring plan (Fiscal 2010 Plan) was announced in March 2010 and is composed of a workforce reduction of approximately 1,000 positions and global facilities consolidations. These actions were intended to better align the Company’s cost structure with the skills and resources required to more effectively pursue opportunities in the marketplace and execute the Company’s long-term growth strategy. The total amounts incurred with respect to severance and facilities abandonment under the Fiscal 2010 Plan were $44 million and $2 million, respectively. Actions under the Fiscal 2010 Plan were substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2011.

Fiscal 2007 restructuring plan: In August 2006, the Company announced the Fiscal 2007 restructuring plan (Fiscal 2007 Plan) to significantly improve the Company’s expense structure and increase its competitiveness. The Fiscal 2007 Plan’s objectives included a workforce reduction of approximately 3,100 employees, global facilities consolidations and other cost reductions. The total amounts incurred with respect to severance and facilities abandonment under the Fiscal 2007 Plan were $220 million and $119 million, respectively. Actions under the Fiscal 2007 Plan were substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2010.

Accrued severance and exit costs at September 30, 2011 and changes in the accruals during the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 associated with the Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2007 Plans were as follows:

NOTE I — DEBT

Revolving Credit Facility: In April 2011, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of $250 million on the revolving credit facility that was due August 2012. In August 2011, the Company replaced the revolving credit facility due August 2012 with a new revolving credit facility due August 2016.

The maximum committed amount available under the revolving credit facility due August 2016 is $1 billion. The facility also provides the Company with an option to increase the available credit by an amount up to $500 million. This option is subject to certain conditions and the agreement of the facility lenders.

Advances under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate dependent on the Company’s credit ratings at the time of such borrowings and are calculated according to a Base Rate or a Eurocurrency Rate, as the case may be, plus an applicable margin. The Company must also pay facility commitment fees quarterly on the full revolving credit commitment and at rates dependent on the Company’s credit ratings.

At September 30, 2011, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility due August 2016 and, based on the Company’s current credit ratings, the rates applicable to the facility at September 30, 2011 were as follows:


Applicable margin on Base borrowing	0.25	%
Applicable margin on Eurocurrency borrowing	1.10	%
Facility commitment fee	0.15	%

The interest rate that would have applied at September 30, 2011 to a borrowing under the revolving credit facility due August 2016 would have been 3.50% for Base Rate borrowings and 1.34% for Eurocurrency Rate borrowings. The Company capitalized the transaction fees associated with the revolving credit facility due August 2016 of approximately $2 million. These fees are being amortized to “Interest expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The revolving credit facility due August 2016 contains customary covenants for borrowings of this type, including two financial covenants: (i) for the 12 months ending each quarter-end, the ratio of consolidated debt for borrowed money to consolidated cash flow, each as defined in the facility Credit Agreement, must not exceed 4.00 to 1.00; and (ii) for the 12 months ending at any date, the ratio of consolidated cash flow to the sum of interest payable on, and amortization of debt discount in respect of, all consolidated debt for borrowed money, as defined in the facility Credit Agreement, must not be less than 3.50 to 1.00. At September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

In addition, future borrowings under the revolving credit facility require, at the date of such borrowing, that (i) no event of default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) the Company reaffirm the representations and warranties it made in the facility Credit Agreement.

NOTE J — DERIVATIVES

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

Interest rate swaps: The Company has interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $500 million, that swap a total of $500 million of its 6.125% Senior Notes due December 2014 into floating interest rate debt through December 1, 2014. These swaps are designated as fair value hedges.

At September 30, 2011, the fair value of these derivatives was an asset of approximately $30 million, of which approximately $11 million is included in “Other current assets” and approximately $19 million is included in “Other noncurrent assets, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At March 31, 2011, the fair value of these derivatives was an asset of approximately $15 million, of which approximately $11 million is included in “Other current assets” and approximately $4 million is included in “Other noncurrent assets, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During fiscal year 2009, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $250 million to hedge a portion of its variable interest rate payments on its revolving credit facility. The amount of loss reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive income” into “Interest expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was approximately $1 million and $3 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. These derivatives were designated as cash flow hedges and matured in October 2010.

Foreign currency contracts: The Company enters into foreign currency option and forward contracts to manage foreign currency risks. The Company has not designated its foreign exchange derivatives as hedges. Accordingly, changes in fair value from these contracts are recorded as “Other (gains) expenses, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. At September 30, 2011, foreign currency contracts outstanding consisted of purchase and sales contracts with a total notional value of approximately $574 million and durations of less than six months. The net fair value of these contracts at September 30, 2011 was approximately $10 million, of which approximately $22 million is included in “Other current assets” and approximately $12 million is included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The net fair value of these contracts at March 31, 2011 was approximately $6 million, of which approximately $7 million is included in “Other current assets” and approximately $1 million is included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company is subject to collateral security arrangements with most of its major counterparties. These arrangements require the Company to hold or post collateral when the derivative fair values exceed contractually established thresholds. The aggregate fair values of all derivative instruments under these collateralized arrangements were in a net asset position at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011. The Company posted no collateral at September 30, 2011 or March 31, 2011. Under these agreements, if the Company’s credit ratings had been downgraded one rating level, the Company would still not have been required to post collateral.

The carrying values of financial instruments classified as current assets and current liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term debt, approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. The fair values of total debt, including current maturities, have been based on quoted market prices.

NOTE L — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In September 2010, a lawsuit captioned Uniloc USA, Inc. et ano. v. National Instruments Corp., et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against the Company and 10 other defendants. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Company technology, including Internet Security Suite Plus 2010 (ISS), infringes a patent licensed to plaintiff Uniloc USA, Inc., entitled “System for Software Registration,” U.S. Patent No. 5,490,216 (‘216 Patent). The complaint seeks monetary damages and interest in an undisclosed amount, a temporary, preliminary and permanent injunction against alleged acts of infringement, and attorneys’ fees and costs, based upon the plaintiffs’ patent infringement claims. In November 2010, the Company filed an answer that, among other things, disputes the plaintiffs’ claims and seeks a declaratory judgment that the Company does not infringe the ‘216 Patent and that the ‘216 Patent is invalid. After pre-trial motion practice, in August 2011, the parties entered into a settlement agreement, the terms of which are confidential and not material to the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flow. As part of this settlement, the case against the Company was dismissed with prejudice in its entirety.

Based on the Company’s experience, the Company believes that the damages amounts claimed in a case are not a meaningful indicator of the potential liability. Claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of cases.

The Company, various subsidiaries, and certain current and former officers have been named as defendants in various other lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses in connection with these other lawsuits and claims, and intends to vigorously contest each of them.

In the opinion of the Company’s management based upon information currently available to the Company, while the outcome of these other lawsuits and claims is uncertain, the likely results of these other lawsuits and claims against the Company, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, although the effect could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for any interim reporting period.

The Company is obligated to indemnify its officers and directors under certain circumstances to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. As a part of that obligation, the Company has advanced and will continue to advance certain attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by current and former officers and directors in various lawsuits and investigations.

NOTE M — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock Repurchases: On May 12, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorized the Company to acquire up to an additional $500 million of its common stock. At September 30, 2011, the Company remained authorized to purchase up to approximately $432 million of additional shares of common stock under its stock repurchase programs. During the six months ended September 30, 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 16.1 million shares of its common stock for approximately $350 million.

Basic net income per common share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net income allocable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income allocable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares at the balance sheet date, as adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of non-participating share-based awards.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, approximately 9 million and 8 million shares of Company common stock underlying restricted stock awards and options to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation because their effect on income per share was anti-dilutive during the respective periods.

For the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, approximately 5 million and 9 million restricted stock awards and options to purchase common stock were excluded from the calculation because their effect on income per share was anti-dilutive during the respective periods.

Weighted average restricted stock awards of approximately 6 million and 6 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were considered participating securities in the calculation of net income available to common shareholders.

There were no capitalized share-based compensation costs for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010.

Under the Company’s long-term incentive plans, the value of performance share unit (PSU) awards is determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day of the quarter until the PSUs are granted. Compensation costs for the PSUs are amortized over the requisite service periods based on the expected level of achievement of the performance targets. At the conclusion of the performance periods for the PSUs, the applicable number of shares of restricted stock awards (RSAs), restricted stock units (RSUs) or unrestricted shares granted may vary based upon the level of achievement of the performance targets and the approval of the Company’s Compensation and Human Resources Committee (which may reduce any award for any reason in its discretion).

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

At the Company’s August 3, 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP) was approved. The ESPP offer period is semi-annual and allows participants to purchase the Company’s common stock at 95% of the closing price of the stock on the last day of the plan period. A total of 30,000,000 shares may be issued under the ESPP. Shares will not be issued until the end of the first offer period, which occurs at the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

NOTE P — INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 was $91 million and $196 million, respectively, compared with the three and six months ended September 30, 2010 of $71 million and $158 million, respectively.

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized a net tax benefit of $15 million and $18 million, respectively, resulting primarily from the recognition of tax benefits related to an investment in a foreign subsidiary. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized a net tax benefit of $23 million and $36 million, respectively, resulting primarily from refinements of tax positions taken in prior periods, assertion of affirmative claims in the context of tax audits and the resolutions and accruals of uncertain tax positions relating to non-U.S. jurisdictions.

In April 2011, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed its examination of the Company’s federal income tax returns for the tax years ended March 31, 2005, March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007 and issued a report of its findings in connection with the examination. The Company disagrees with certain proposed adjustments in the report and intends to vigorously dispute these matters through applicable IRS and judicial procedures, as appropriate. While the Company believes that it has recorded reserves sufficient to cover exposures related to these issues, such that the ultimate disposition of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, the resolution of such matters involves uncertainties and there are no assurances that the ultimate resolution will not exceed the amounts recorded. The Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

The Company’s effective income tax rate, excluding the impact of discrete items, for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 was 32.4% and 32.5%, respectively. Changes in the anticipated results of the Company’s international operations, the outcome of tax audits and any other changes in potential tax liabilities may result in additional tax expense or benefit in future periods, which are not considered in the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. While the Company does not currently view any such items as individually material to the results of the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, the impact of such items may yield additional tax expense or benefit in the remaining quarters of fiscal year 2012 and future periods and the Company is anticipating a fiscal year 2012 effective tax rate of approximately 31% to 32%.

NOTE Q — SEGMENT INFORMATION

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company completed its implementation of changing the internal reporting used by its Chief Executive Officer for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources. The new reporting disaggregates the Company’s operations into Mainframe Solutions, Enterprise Solutions and Services segments, and represented a change in the Company’s operating segments under ASC 280, “Segment Reporting.” Prior to fiscal year 2012, the Company reported and managed its business based on a single operating segment under ASC 280.

The Company’s Mainframe Solutions and Enterprise Solutions operating segments comprise its software business organized by the nature of the Company’s software offerings and the product hierarchy in which the platform operates on. The Services operating segment comprises implementation, consulting, education and training services, including those directly related to the mainframe and distributed software that the Company sells to its customers.

The Company regularly enters into a single arrangement with a customer that includes Mainframe Solutions segment software products, Enterprise Solutions segment software products and Services. The amount of contract revenue assigned to segments is generally based on the manner in which the proposal is made to the customer. The software product revenue is assigned to the Mainframe Solutions and Enterprise Solutions segments based on either: (1) a list price allocation method (which allocates a discount in the total contract price to the individual products in proportion to the list price of the products); (2) allocations included within internal contract approval documents; or

CA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2011
(unaudited)

(3) the value for individual software products as stated in the customer contract. The price for the implementation, consulting, education and training services is separately stated in the contract and these amounts of contract revenue are assigned to the Services segment. The contract value assigned to each segment is then recognized in a manner consistent with the revenue recognition policies the Company applies to the customer contract for purposes of preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment expenses include costs that are controllable by segment managers (i.e., direct costs) and, in the case of the Mainframe Solutions and Enterprise Solutions segments, an allocation of shared and indirect costs (i.e., allocated costs). Segment-specific direct costs include a portion of selling and marketing costs, licensing and maintenance costs, product development costs, general and administrative costs and amortization of the cost of internally developed software. Allocated segment costs primarily include indirect selling and marketing costs and general and administrative costs that are not directly attributable to a specific segment. The basis for allocating shared and indirect costs between the Mainframe Solutions and Enterprise Solutions segments is dependent on the nature of the cost being allocated and is either in proportion to segment revenues or in proportion to the related direct cost category. Expenses for the Services segment consist only of direct costs and there are no allocated or indirect costs for the Services segment.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company incurred severance costs associated with the Fiscal 2012 Plan, of which $23 million, $20 million and $1 million were assigned to the Mainframe Solutions, Enterprise Solutions and Services segments, respectively. Refer to Note D, “Severance and Exit Costs,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Unallocated segment expenses include the following: share-based compensation expense; amortization of purchased software; amortization of other intangible assets; derivative hedging gains and losses; and severance, exit costs and related charges associated with the Company’s Fiscal 2007 Plan.

A measure of segment assets is not currently provided to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and has therefore not been disclosed. Also, goodwill by segment has not been disclosed because the Company has not yet completed its allocation of goodwill among the segments.

The Company’s segment information for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

OVERVIEW

We are the leading independent enterprise information technology (IT) management software and solutions company with expertise across IT environments — from mainframe and physical to virtual and cloud. We develop and deliver software and services that help organizations manage, secure and automate their IT infrastructures and deliver more flexible IT services. This allows companies to more effectively and efficiently respond to business needs.

We address components of the computing environment, including people, information, processes, systems, networks, applications and databases, regardless of the hardware or software customers are using. We license our products worldwide.

We service companies across most major industries worldwide, including banks, insurance companies, other financial services providers, government agencies, manufacturers, technology companies, retailers, educational organizations and health care institutions. These customers typically maintain IT infrastructures that are both complex and central to their objectives for operational excellence.

We are the leading independent software vendor in the mainframe space, and we continue to innovate on the mainframe platform, which runs many of our largest customers’ most important applications. As the IT landscape continues to evolve, more companies are seeking to improve the efficiency and availability of their IT resources and applications through virtualization, which enables users to run multiple virtual machines on each physical machine and thereby reduce operating costs associated with physical infrastructure. Virtualization is essential to the evolution of cloud computing, the on-demand access to a shared pool of computing resources that can be configured and used as needed. At the same time, the consumption of IT assets is evolving through the adoption of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), where customers can obtain software on a subscription, “pay-as-you go” model.

As more companies begin to adopt virtualization and cloud computing, data centers are becoming more complex, with mainframes, physical servers, virtualized servers and private, public and hybrid (a combination of public and private) cloud environments. We believe it is essential for companies to effectively manage and secure all of their various computing environments. We expect this evolution will allow business models to change more rapidly than in the past. While these technologies increase flexibility, they can also introduce significant management complexity. We believe that our years of experience and core strength in traditional IT management and security combined with our significant investments will position us as a leader in this portion of the IT industry.

We have a broad portfolio of software solutions that address customer needs, including mainframe; service assurance; security (identity and access management); project and portfolio management; service management; virtualization and service automation; and cloud computing. We deliver our products on-premises or, for certain products, using SaaS.

Our strategy is to help our customers manage, secure and automate IT and to make us their strategic partner as they deploy new technologies and maximize their investments in current systems and applications. This strategy emphasizes accelerating our growth by continuing to build on our portfolio of software and services to address customer needs in the above-mentioned areas of focus through a combination of internal development and acquired technologies. We believe this strategy builds on our core strengths in IT management while also positioning us to compete in high-growth markets, including virtualization, cloud and SaaS. We are also seeking to expand our business beyond our traditional core customers, generally consisting of large enterprises, to reach what we refer to as “emerging enterprises” or “growth accounts” (which we define as companies with annual revenue of $300 million to $2 billion) and customers in “emerging geographies” or “growth geographies.” We are increasing the number of our relationships and expanding existing relationships with various types of service providers, particularly global outsourcers, regional managed service providers and communication network operators.

Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we are rebalancing our sales force to add new quota carrying sales representatives in order to increase our focus on selling new products to new customers. Their compensation structure is designed to reward new business with new customers to the Company — some of these in new geographies, driving new product sales and improving penetration of our acquisition products, particularly in markets outside the United States.

As our growth strategy has evolved, our management also looks within bookings at total new product and capacity sales, which we define as sales of products or capacity that are new or in addition to products or capacity previously contracted for by a customer. The amount of new product and capacity sales for a period, as currently tracked by us, requires estimation by management and has not been historically reported. Within a given period, the amount of new product and capacity sales may not be material to the change in our total bookings or revenue compared with prior periods. New product and capacity sales can be reflected as subscription and maintenance bookings in the period (for which revenue would be recognized ratably over the term of the contract) or in software fees and other bookings (which are recognized as software fees and other revenue in the current period).

In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we completed our implementation of changing our internal reporting used by our Chief Executive Officer for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources. The new reporting disaggregates our operations into three segments, two software segments and one service segment, which are described as follows:

	•		Mainframe Solutions — Our Mainframe Solutions segment addresses the mainframe market and is focused on making significant investments in order to be innovative in key management disciplines across our broad portfolio of products. Ongoing development is guided by customer needs, our cross-enterprise management philosophy and our Mainframe 2.0 strategy, which offers management capabilities designed to appeal to the next generation of mainframe staff while also offering productivity improvements to today’s mainframe experts. Our mainframe business assists customers by addressing three major challenges: lowering costs, providing high service levels by sustaining critical workforce skills and increasing agility to help deliver on business goals.

	•		Enterprise Solutions — Our Enterprise Solutions segment includes products that operate on non-mainframe platforms, such as service assurance, security (identity and access management), project and portfolio management, service management, virtualization and service automation, SaaS, and cloud offerings. Our offerings help customers address their regulatory compliance demands, privacy needs, and internal security policies. Enterprise Solutions also focuses on delivering growth to the Company in the form of new customer acquisitions and revenue, while leveraging non-traditional routes-to-market and delivery models.

	•		Services — Our Services segment offers implementation, consulting, education and training services to customers, which is intended to promote a seamless customer experience and to increase the value that customers realize from our solutions.

The Company’s performance is evaluated by our Chief Executive Officer based on a review of revenue and operating income for each of our operating segments. While our Chief Executive Officer evaluates results in a number of different ways, the operating segments are the primary basis on which resources are allocated and financial results are assessed.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The following is a summary of the analysis of our results contained in our MD&A.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we sold our Internet Security business and during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we sold our Information Governance business. The results of these business operations are presented in income from discontinued operations.

Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 10% to $1,200 million compared with $1,088 million in the year-ago period, primarily due to growth in U.S. revenue of $68 million, which includes revenue relating to a license agreement with one large IT outsourcer that was executed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, increased professional services revenue, and an increase in software fees and other revenue relating to our SaaS offerings. The increases in professional services revenue and software fees and other revenue were both primarily attributable to our acquisitions within the last 12 months. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, revenue reflected a favorable foreign exchange effect of $50 million compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Our revenue growth was 8% from existing products and services and 2% from acquired technologies (which we define as technology acquired within the prior 12 months). Excluding the favorable foreign currency effect, our revenue growth was 5% with slightly more than 3% for existing products and services and slightly less than 2% for acquired technologies.

Total bookings in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased 3% from the year-ago period to $972 million primarily due to a decrease in bookings relating to subscription and maintenance bookings, offset by an increase in professional services and an increase in bookings that are recognized as software fees and other revenue in the current period. We previously had expected that renewal bookings for the second

quarter would be approximately 35% lower than the year-ago period. Renewal bookings for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, which generally do not include new product and capacity sales and professional services arrangements, decreased 5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. This was primarily due to the timing of renewals, including a large government contract that renewed in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, which was a quarter earlier than expected. Total new product and capacity sales declined by a high single digit percentage from the year-ago period. The decrease in new product sales within the Mainframe Solutions and Enterprise Solutions segments was partially offset by the increase in capacity sales within the Mainframe Solutions segment. These sales are reflected in subscription and maintenance bookings.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, there was an increase in duration due to several transactions that were renewed during the quarter with contract terms greater than five years. We now expect our fiscal 2012 renewal portfolio to be lower by approximately 15% compared with fiscal 2011. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, renewal yield was in the low 90% range.

Total expense before interest and income taxes of $867 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 grew 10%, compared with $786 million in the year-ago period. The increase was primarily due to the planned workforce reduction (Fiscal 2012 Plan) which was announced in July 2011. The total amount incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 in connection with Fiscal 2012 Plan was $44 million, of which $27 million is included in “Selling and marketing,” $9 million is included in “Product development and enhancements,” $5 million is included in “General and administrative,” $2 million is included in “Costs of licensing and maintenance” and $1 million is included in “Cost of professional services” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, increases in selling and marketing costs and cost of professional services were partially offset against gains relating to our foreign exchange derivative contracts. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, total expense reflected an unfavorable foreign exchange effect of $27 million compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Income before interest and income taxes increased $31 million, or 10%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with the year-ago period, which is consistent with the growth rates in revenue and expenses over the same period.

Tax expense increased $20 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with the year-ago period, primarily as a result of an increase in income before taxes in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

Diluted income from continuing operations per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $0.47, compared with $0.43 in the year-ago period, primarily reflecting an increase in operating income, and our repurchase of common shares.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, our segment performance results were as follows:

Mainframe Solutions revenue increased $40 million from the year-ago period primarily due to revenue associated with a license agreement with one large IT outsourcer executed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the decrease in Mainframe Solutions profit from $350 million to $347 million and the decrease in operating margin of 57% to 53% was primarily attributable to a severance charge of $23 million relating to our Fiscal 2012 Plan within the quarter.

Enterprise Solutions revenue increased $55 million from the year-ago period primarily due to growth in subscription and maintenance revenue within our Service Assurance and Security products. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the decrease in Enterprise Solutions profit from $32 million to $27 million and the decrease in operating margin of 8% to 6% was primarily attributable to a severance charge of $20 million relating to our Fiscal 2012 Plan within the quarter, as well as increased investments in our Enterprise Solutions segment.

Services revenue and expenses increased $17 million and $15 million, respectively, from the year-ago period primarily due to our fiscal 2012 acquisition of Base Technologies. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, margins on professional services remained consistent with the comparable prior year period.

Total revenue backlog at September 30, 2011 of $8,067 million increased 4% compared with $7,773 million at September 30, 2010. The current portion of revenue backlog at September 30, 2011 of $3,546 million increased by 4% compared with the balance of $3,418 million at September 30, 2010. The current portion of revenue backlog represents revenue to be recognized within the next 12 months. Generally, we believe that an increase in the current portion of revenue backlog on a year-over-year basis is a positive indicator of future subscription and maintenance revenue growth.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, cash flows from continuing operating activities was $190 million and grew 47% compared with the year-ago period. This growth reflects an increase in cash collections on trade receivables of $75 million and a decrease in income tax payments of $24 million, offset by an increase in disbursements of $38 million.

QUARTERLY UPDATE

	•		In September 2011, we announced the appointment of Jens Alder to our Board of Directors. Mr. Alder currently serves as chairman of Sanitas Krankenversicherung, one of Switzerland’s largest health insurers, and RTX Telecom A/S, a telecommunications component and handset producer based in Denmark.

	•		In September 2011, we announced the appointment of Marco Comastri as president, Europe, Middle East and Africa. Mr. Comastri joins the Company from Poste Italiane, Italy’s largest communications service provider, where he was chief executive officer of the technology services division. He also held management positions at Microsoft Corporation and International Business Machines Corporation.

	•		In August 2011, we acquired Interactive TKO, Inc., a leading provider of service simulation solutions for developing applications in composite and cloud environments.

Total Revenue — Total revenue is the amount of revenue recognized during the reporting period from the sale of license, maintenance and professional services agreements. Amounts recognized as subscription and maintenance revenue are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. Professional services revenue is generally recognized as the services are performed or recognized on a ratable basis over the term of the related software license. Software fees and other revenue generally represents revenue recognized at the inception of a license agreement (up-front basis) and also includes our SaaS revenue, which is recognized as services are provided.

Total Bookings — Total bookings or sales includes the incremental value of all subscription, maintenance and professional service contracts and software fees and other contracts entered into during the reporting period and is generally reflective of the amount of products and services during the period that our customers have agreed to purchase from us. Revenue for bookings attributed to sales of software products for which revenue is recognized on an up-front basis is reflected in the “Software fees and other” line item of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Subscription and Maintenance Bookings — Subscription and maintenance bookings is the aggregate incremental amount we expect to collect from our customers over the terms of the underlying subscription and maintenance agreements entered into during a reporting period. These amounts include the sale of products directly by us and may include additional products, services or other fees for which we have not established vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE). Subscription and maintenance bookings also includes indirect sales by distributors and volume partners, value-added resellers and exclusive representatives to end-users, where the contracts incorporate the right for end-users to receive unspecified future software products, and other contracts without these rights entered into in close proximity or contemplation of such agreements. These amounts are expected to be recognized ratably as subscription and maintenance revenue over the applicable term of the agreements. Subscription and maintenance bookings excludes the value associated with certain perpetual licenses, license-only indirect sales, SaaS offerings and professional services arrangements.

The license and maintenance agreements that contribute to subscription and maintenance bookings represent binding payment commitments by customers over periods that range generally from three to five years on a weighted average basis, although in certain cases customer commitments can be for longer or shorter periods. These current period bookings are often renewals of prior contracts that also had various durations, usually from three to five years. The amount of new subscription and maintenance bookings recorded in a period is affected by the volume, duration and value of contracts renewed during that period. Subscription and maintenance bookings typically increases in each consecutive quarter during a fiscal year, with the first quarter having the least bookings and the fourth quarter having the most bookings. However, subscription and maintenance bookings may not always follow the pattern of increasing in consecutive quarters during a fiscal year, and the quarter-to-quarter differences in subscription and maintenance bookings may vary. Given the varying durations of the contracts being renewed, year-over-year comparisons of bookings are not always indicative of the overall bookings trend.

Generally, we believe that an increase in the current portion of revenue backlog on a year-over-year basis is a positive indicator of future subscription and maintenance revenue growth due to the high percentage of our revenue that is recognized from license agreements that are already committed and being recognized ratably. Within bookings, we also consider the yield on our renewal portfolio. We define “renewal yield” as the percentage of prior contract value realized from renewals during the period. The baseline for calculating renewal yield is an estimate affected by various factors including contractual renewal terms and other conditions. We estimate the yield based on a review of material transactions representing a substantial majority of the dollar value of renewals during the current period. Year-over-year changes in renewal yield may not be material to year-over-year changes in bookings.

Additionally, period-to-period changes in subscription and maintenance bookings do not necessarily correlate to changes in cash receipts. The contribution to current period revenue from subscription and maintenance bookings from any single license or maintenance agreement is relatively small, since revenue is recognized ratably over the applicable term for these agreements.

Weighted Average Subscription and Maintenance License Agreement Duration in Years — The weighted average subscription and maintenance license agreement duration in years reflects the duration of all subscription and maintenance agreements executed during a period, weighted by the total contract value of each individual agreement. Weighted average subscription and maintenance license agreement duration in years can fluctuate from period to period depending on the mix of license agreements entered into during a period. Weighted average duration information is disclosed in order to provide additional understanding of the volume of our bookings.

Total Revenue Backlog— Total revenue backlog represents the aggregate amount we expect to recognize as revenue in the future as either subscription and maintenance revenue, professional services revenue or software fees and other revenue associated with contractually committed amounts billed or to be billed as of the balance sheet date. Total revenue backlog is composed of amounts recognized as liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as deferred revenue (billed or collected) as well as unearned amounts yet to be billed under subscription and maintenance and software fees and other agreements. Classification of amounts as current and non-current depends on when such amounts are expected to be earned and therefore recognized as revenue. Amounts that are expected to be earned and therefore recognized as revenue in 12 months or less are classified as current, while amounts expected to be earned in greater than 12 months are classified as non-current. The portion of the total revenue backlog that relates to subscription and maintenance agreements is recognized as revenue evenly on a monthly basis over the duration of the underlying agreements and is reported as subscription and maintenance revenue in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

“Deferred revenue (billed or collected)” is composed of: (i) amounts received from customers in advance of revenue recognition, (ii) amounts billed but not collected for which revenue has not yet been earned, and (iii) amounts received in advance of revenue recognition from financial institutions where we have transferred our interest in committed installments (referred to as “Financing obligations and other” in Note H, “Deferred Revenue” in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Revenue

Total Revenue

As more fully described below, the increase in total revenue in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 was primarily attributable to an increase in subscription and maintenance revenue and to a lesser extent an increase in our software fees and other revenue and professional services revenue. During the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012, revenue reflected a favorable foreign exchange effect of $50 million and $95 million, respectively, compared with the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011.

Subscription and Maintenance Revenue

Subscription and maintenance revenue is the amount of revenue recognized ratably during the reporting period from: (i) subscription license agreements that were in effect during the period, generally including maintenance that is bundled with and not separately identifiable from software usage fees or product sales, (ii) maintenance agreements associated with providing customer technical support and access to software fixes and upgrades that are separately identifiable from software usage fees or product sales, and (iii) license agreements bundled with additional products, maintenance or professional services for which VSOE has not been established. These amounts include the sale of products directly by us, as well as by distributors and volume partners, value-added resellers and exclusive representatives to end-users, where

the contracts incorporate the right for end-users to receive unspecified future software products, and other contracts entered into in close proximity or contemplation of such agreements. The increase in subscription and maintenance revenue for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 was primarily due to revenue associated with a license agreement with one large IT outsourcer for approximately $500 million that was executed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and to a lesser extent increased revenue in the United States that was recognized in the current period, but was attributable to prior period sales. In addition, for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012, there was a favorable foreign exchange effect of $44 million and $84 million, respectively, compared with the comparable prior year periods.

Professional Services

Professional services revenue primarily includes product implementation, consulting, customer training and customer education. Professional services revenue increased in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011, primarily due to our fiscal 2012 acquisition of Base Technologies.

Software Fees and Other

Software fees and other revenue primarily consists of revenue that is recognized on an up-front basis. This includes revenue associated with Enterprise Solutions segment products sold on an up-front basis directly by our sales force or through transactions with distributors and volume partners, value-added resellers and exclusive representatives (sometimes referred to as our “indirect” or “channel” revenue). It also includes our SaaS revenue, which is recognized as the services are provided rather than up-front. Software fees and other revenue increased in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 primarily due to increases of $11 million and $22 million, respectively, in revenue from our SaaS offerings, the majority of which was associated with one of our fiscal 2011 acquisitions that was completed during the second half of fiscal 2011.

Total Revenue by Geography

The following table presents the amount of revenue earned from sales to unaffiliated customers in the United States and international regions and corresponding percentage changes for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012 and the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011.

(1)		Previously reported information has been adjusted to exclude discontinued operations.

Revenue in the United States increased by $68 million, or 11%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2011 primarily due to higher subscription and maintenance revenue, as described above. International revenue increased by $44 million, or 9%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2011 due to a favorable foreign exchange effect of $50 million. Excluding the favorable foreign exchange effect, international revenue would have decreased by $6 million, or 1%, primarily as a result of the decline in Europe, Middle East and Africa subscription and maintenance revenue.

Revenue in the United States increased by $127 million, or 10%, for the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the first half of fiscal 2011 primarily due to higher subscription and maintenance revenue, as described above. International revenue increased by $79 million, or 9%, for the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the first half of fiscal 2011, due to a favorable foreign exchange effect of $95 million. Excluding the favorable foreign exchange effect, international revenue would have decreased by $16 million, or 2%, primarily as a result of the decline in Europe, Middle East and Africa subscription and maintenance revenue.

Price changes do not have a material effect on revenue in a given period as a result of our ratable subscription model.

Expenses

Operating expenses for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012 increased from the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 due to an increase in selling and marketing costs and cost of professional services. During the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012, operating expenses reflected an unfavorable foreign exchange effect of $27 million and $50 million, respectively, compared with the prior comparable periods.

On July 20, 2011, we announced that we would incur a charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 in connection with a workforce reduction. The total amount incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 in connection with the Fiscal 2012 Plan was $44 million, of which $27 million is included in “Selling and marketing,” $9 million is included in “Product development and enhancements,” $5 million is included in “General and administrative,” $2 million is included in “Costs of licensing and maintenance” and $1 million is included in “Cost of professional

services” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. This action is a continuation of the work we have been doing to optimize our business by reallocating resources in connection with our strategy. This workforce reduction is expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2012. Refer to Note D, “Severance and Exit Costs,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Costs of Licensing and Maintenance

Costs of licensing and maintenance include technical support, royalties, and other manufacturing and distribution costs. Costs of licensing and maintenance for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 increased slightly as a result of an increase in support costs associated with our acquisitions completed within the last 12 months.

Cost of Professional Services

Cost of professional services consists primarily of our personnel-related costs associated with providing professional services and training to customers. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with the prior year period, cost of professional services increased primarily as a result of our fiscal 2012 acquisition of Base Technologies. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, margins on professional services remained consistent with the prior comparable period.

For the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the prior year period, cost of professional services increased primarily as a result of our fiscal 2012 acquisition of Base Technologies and due to an increase in the use of external consultants to expand our capacity and improve the response time to our customers in order to deliver a higher level of customer satisfaction. As a result of the increase in expenses, margins on professional services decreased to 4% in the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with 7% in the first half of fiscal 2011.

Amortization of Capitalized Software Costs

Amortization of capitalized software costs consists of the amortization of both purchased software and internally generated capitalized software development costs. Internally generated capitalized software development costs relate to new products and significant enhancements to existing software products that have reached the technological feasibility stage.

The increase in amortization of capitalized software costs for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 was primarily due to the increase in projects that have reached general availability in recent periods and amortization associated with assets acquired from our recent acquisitions.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses include the costs relating to our sales force, channel partners, corporate and business marketing and customer training programs. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel-related costs of $57 million, which includes an unfavorable foreign exchange effect of $9 million compared with the prior comparable period. This increase includes severance costs of $27 million associated with the Fiscal 2012 Plan.

For the first half of fiscal 2012, the increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in personnel-related costs of $84 million, which includes an unfavorable foreign exchange effect of $16 million compared with the prior comparable period, and an increase in commission expense of $15 million. The increase in personnel costs includes severance costs of $27 million associated with the Fiscal 2012 Plan.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses include the costs of corporate and support functions, including our executive leadership and administration groups, finance, legal, human resources, corporate communications and other costs such as provisions for doubtful accounts. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the prior year period was primarily attributable to a decrease in consulting costs, which was partially offset by an increase in personnel expenses associated with our fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 acquisitions and severance costs of $5 million associated with the Fiscal 2012 Plan.

Product Development and Enhancements

For the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, product development and enhancements expenses represented approximately 12% and 11% of total revenue, respectively. For the first half of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, product development and enhancements expenses represented approximately 11% and 12% of total revenue, respectively. The increase in product development and enhancements expenses for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012 was primarily due to an increase in personnel-related costs, which includes $9 million of severance costs associated with the Fiscal 2012 Plan.

Depreciation and Amortization of Other Intangible Assets

Depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 was relatively consistent between periods.

Other (Gains) Expenses, Net

Other (gains) expenses, net decreased $22 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Other (gains) expenses, net includes gains and losses attributable to divested assets, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, and certain other items. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, other (gains) expenses, net included a $6 million gain relating to our foreign exchange derivative contracts. For the second quarter of fiscal 2011, other (gains) expenses, net included a $21 million expense relating to our foreign exchange derivative contracts, partially offset by a $10 million gain associated with the sale of an equity investment.

Other (gains) expenses, net increased $3 million for the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the first half of fiscal 2011. For the first half of fiscal 2012, other (gains) expenses, net included a $1 million expense relating to our foreign exchange derivative contracts and a $2 million expense in connection with litigation claims. For the first half of fiscal 2011, other (gains) expenses, net included an $8 million expense relating to our foreign exchange derivative contracts and a $6 million expense in connection with litigation claims. These expenses were partially offset by a $10 million gain associated with the aforementioned sale of an equity investment. For the first half of fiscal 2011, we recorded a credit of $2 million related to reductions in estimated severance costs related to the fiscal 2010 restructuring plan and the fiscal 2007 restructuring plan.

Interest Expense, Net

The decrease in interest expense, net, for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 was primarily due to the decrease in interest expense resulting from our overall decrease in debt outstanding. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we repaid $250 million of our revolving credit facility.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $91 million compared with income tax expense of $71 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Income tax expense for the first half of fiscal 2012 was $196 million compared with income tax expense of $158 million for the first half of fiscal 2011.

For the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012, we recognized a net tax benefit of $15 million and $18 million, respectively, resulting primarily from the recognition of tax benefits related to an investment in a foreign subsidiary. For the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011, we recognized a net tax benefit of $23 million and $36 million, respectively, resulting primarily from refinements of tax positions taken in prior periods, assertion of affirmative claims in the context of tax audits and the resolutions and accruals of uncertain tax positions relating to non-U.S. jurisdictions.

In April 2011, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed its examination of our federal income tax returns for the tax years ended March 31, 2005, March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007 and issued a report of its findings in connection with the examination. We disagree with certain proposed adjustments in the report and we intend to vigorously dispute these matters through applicable IRS and judicial procedures, as appropriate. While we believe that we have recorded reserves sufficient to cover exposures related to these issues, such that the ultimate disposition of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations, the resolution of such matters involves uncertainties and there are no assurances that the ultimate resolution will not exceed the amounts recorded. We do not believe it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

Our effective income tax rate, excluding the impact of discrete items, for the first half of fiscal 2012 and 2011 was 32.4% and 32.5%, respectively. Changes in the anticipated results of our international operations, the outcome of tax audits and any other changes in potential tax liabilities may result in additional tax expense or benefit in future periods, which are not considered in our estimated annual effective tax rate. We do not currently view any such items as individually material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations, the impact of such items may yield additional tax expense or benefit in the remaining quarters of fiscal 2012 and future periods and we are anticipating a fiscal 2012 effective tax rate of approximately 31% to 32%.

Performance of Segments

In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we completed our implementation of a change to the internal reporting used by our Chief Executive Officer for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources. The new reporting disaggregates our operations into Mainframe Solutions, Enterprise Solutions and Services segments.

Our Mainframe Solutions and Enterprise Solutions operating segments comprise our software business organized by the nature of our software offerings and the product hierarchy in which the platform operates. The Mainframe Solutions segment products, including Mainframe 2.0, help customers and partners simplify mainframe management, gain more value from existing technology and extend mainframe capabilities. Our Enterprise Solutions segment consists of various product offerings, including service assurance, security (identity and access management), project and portfolio management, service management, virtualization and service automation, SaaS, and cloud offerings. These offerings are providing us with additional access to emerging enterprises, which we define as companies with annual revenue between $300 million and $2 billion. The Services segment comprises implementation, consulting, education and training services, including those directly related to the Mainframe Solutions and Enterprise Solutions software that we sell to our customers.

We regularly enter into a single arrangement with a customer that includes Mainframe Solutions segment software products, Enterprise Solutions segment software products and Services. The amount of contract revenue assigned to segments is generally based on the manner in which the proposal is made to the customer. The software product revenue is assigned to the Mainframe Solutions and Enterprise Solutions segments based on either: (1) a list price allocation method (which allocates a discount in the total contract price to the individual products in proportion to the list price of the product); (2) allocations included within internal contract approval documents; or (3) the value for individual software products as stated in the customer contract. The price for the implementation, consulting, education and training services is separately stated in the contract and these amounts of contract revenue are assigned to the Services segment. The contract value assigned to each segment is then recognized in a manner consistent with the revenue recognition policies we apply to the customer contract for purposes of preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment expenses do not include the following: share-based compensation expense; amortization of purchased software; amortization of other intangible assets; derivative hedging gains and losses; and severance, exit costs and related charges associated with the fiscal 2007 restructuring plan.

For the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012, Mainframe Solutions revenue increased $40 million and $71 million, respectively, from the year-ago period primarily due to revenue associated with a license agreement with one large IT outsourcer executed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012 was also attributable to revenue recognized from new capacity sales that were primarily sold in the second half of fiscal 2011. For the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012, Mainframe Solutions revenue reflected a favorable foreign exchange effect of $28 million and $55 million, respectively, compared with the comparable prior year periods. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, Mainframe Solutions operating margin was unfavorably affected by a $23 million severance charge relating to our Fiscal 2012 Plan. The impact of this charge was partially offset by the benefit of improved revenue performance for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2012. Mainframe Solutions operating margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was 53% compared with 57% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. For the first half of fiscal 2012, Mainframe Solutions operating margin remained consistent with the prior comparable period.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, Enterprise Solutions revenue increased $55 million from the year-ago period primarily due to growth in subscription and maintenance revenue within our Security and Service Assurance products and our SaaS offerings recognized as software fees and other revenue. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012 Enterprise Solutions revenue reflected a favorable foreign exchange effect of $18 million compared with the prior year period. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the decrease in Enterprise Solutions profit from $32 million to $27 million and the decrease in operating margin of 8% to 6% was primarily attributable to the Fiscal 2012 Plan charge of $20 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2012, as well as increased investments in our Enterprise Solutions segment.

For the first half of fiscal 2012, Enterprise Solutions revenue increased $106 million from the year-ago period primarily due to growth in subscription and maintenance revenue within our Service Assurance and Security products and our SaaS offerings recognized as software fees and other revenue. For the first half of fiscal 2012 Enterprise Solutions revenue reflected a favorable foreign exchange effect of $32 million compared with the prior year period. For the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the first half of fiscal 2011, the increase in Enterprise Solutions profit from $57 million to $72 million and the increase in operating margin from 7% to 8% was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue for the first half of fiscal 2012, offset by the Fiscal 2012 Plan charge of $20 million during the second quarter, as well as increased investments in our Enterprise Solutions segment within the first half of fiscal 2012.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, Services revenue and expenses compared with the prior year period increased primarily as a result of our fiscal 2012 acquisition of Base Technologies. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012 Services revenue reflected a favorable foreign exchange effect of $4 million compared with the prior year period. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, Services margins remained consistent with the prior comparable period.

For the first half of fiscal 2012, Services revenue and expenses compared with the prior year period increased as a result of our fiscal 2012 acquisition of Base Technologies and due to an increase in the use of external consultants to expand our capacity and improve the response time to our customers in order to deliver a higher level of customer satisfaction. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012 Services revenue reflected a favorable foreign exchange effect of $8 million compared with the prior year period. As a result of the increase in expenses, Services margins decreased to 3% in the first half of fiscal 2012 as compared with 4% in the first half of fiscal 2011.

Bookings

Total Bookings

For the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, total bookings were $972 million and $1,001 million, respectively. The decrease in bookings reflected a decline in subscription and maintenance bookings that was partially offset by an increase in professional services bookings (primarily attributable to our fiscal 2012 acquisition of Base Technologies) and an increase in bookings that are recognized as software fees and other revenue in the current period. Total new product and capacity sales declined by a high single digit percentage from the year-ago period. The decrease in new product sales within the Mainframe and Enterprise Solutions segments was partially offset by the increase in capacity sales within the Mainframe Solutions segment. These sales are reflected in subscription and maintenance bookings. The decrease in Enterprise Solutions segment sales was primarily driven by a decrease in service assurance sales and was subject to a difficult comparison to strong new product sales in the year-ago period, which generally had longer maintenance duration periods.

Bookings in Europe, Middle East and Africa decreased for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 from the year-ago period primarily due to a decrease in renewals. This was partially offset by an increase in total bookings for the United States and Latin America, which was due to an increase in professional services bookings and mainframe capacity sales, offset by a decrease in new product sales.

For the first half of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, total bookings were $1,837 million and $1,733 million, respectively. The increase in bookings reflected an increase in professional services bookings (primarily attributable to our fiscal 2012 acquisition of Base Technologies) and an increase in bookings that are recognized as software fees and other revenue in the current period. This was partially offset by a decrease in subscription and maintenance bookings. Total new product and capacity sales declined by a low single digit percentage from the year-ago period. New product sales within the Enterprise Solutions segment which are reflected in subscription and maintenance bookings decreased and were mostly offset by an increase in capacity sales within the Mainframe Solutions segment. New product sales within the Mainframe Solutions segment were comparable to the year-ago period.

Total bookings in the United States for the first half of fiscal 2012 increased from the first half of fiscal 2011 primarily due to an increase in professional services bookings. Total bookings in Europe, Middle East and Africa for the first half of fiscal 2012 increased from the first half of fiscal 2011 primarily due to an increase in capacity sales within the Mainframe Solutions segment.

Subscription and Maintenance Bookings

For the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, subscription and maintenance bookings were $761 million and $848 million, respectively. The decrease in subscription and maintenance bookings was primarily attributable to a decrease in new product sales and renewals within the Mainframe Solutions and Enterprise Solutions segments, partially offset by an increase in capacity sales within the Mainframe Solutions segment. For the first half of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, subscription and maintenance bookings were $1,449 million and $1,467 million, respectively. The decrease in subscription and maintenance bookings was primarily attributable to a decrease in new product sales within the Mainframe Solutions and Enterprise Solutions segments, mostly offset by an increase in capacity sales within the Mainframe Solutions segment.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we renewed a total of 10 license agreements with incremental contract values in excess of $10 million each, for an aggregate contract value of $321 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we renewed a total of 14 license agreements with incremental contract values in excess of $10 million each, for an aggregate contract value of $361 million.

Generally, quarters with smaller renewal inventories result in a lower level of bookings both because renewal bookings will be reduced and, to a lesser extent, because renewals also remain an important selling opportunity for new products. We previously had expected that renewal bookings for the second quarter would be approximately 35% lower than the year-ago period. Renewal bookings for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, which generally do not include new product and capacity sales and professional services arrangements, decreased 5% primarily due to the timing of renewals, including a large government contract that was renewed in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, which was a quarter earlier than expected. In addition, there was an increase in duration for several transactions that were renewed during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. We now expect our fiscal 2012 renewal portfolio to be lower by approximately 15% compared with fiscal 2011, primarily due to a $500 million renewal contract with a large IT outsourcer, which was executed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the estimated renewal yield was in the low 90% range.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we continued taking steps to improve our performance in Europe, Middle East and Africa. Some of the steps include: (1) the appointment of a new regional executive with the intent to bring a more disciplined approach to our renewal process; and (2) the remapping of our sales coverage model to better align and focus on countries with the most resilient IT spending. Both these steps are designed to accelerate new product sales and improve account penetration. We believe that over time these steps will help improve performance in Europe, Middle East and Africa, although we also believe that the macro-economic climate will continue to be a challenge in this region.

Annualized subscription and maintenance bookings is an indicator that normalizes the bookings recorded in the current period to account for contract length. It is calculated by dividing the total value of all new subscription and maintenance license agreements entered into during

a period by the weighted average subscription and license agreement duration in years for all such subscription and maintenance license agreements recorded during the same period. For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, annualized subscription and maintenance bookings decreased from $244 million in the prior year period to $212 million. The weighted average subscription and maintenance license agreement duration in years increased from 3.47 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 to 3.59 in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. This increase was primarily attributable to the execution of several license agreement renewals with terms of five years or greater. Although each contract is subject to terms negotiated by the respective parties, we do not currently expect the weighted average subscription and maintenance agreement duration in years to change materially from current levels for end-user contracts.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash and cash equivalent balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world, with 66% held in our subsidiaries outside the United States at September 30, 2011. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $2,382 million at September 30, 2011, representing a decrease of $846 million from the March 31, 2011 balance of $3,228 million. The decrease in cash was primarily due to the utilization of cash to acquire our fiscal 2012 acquisitions, repurchases of our common stock and the repayment of our previous revolving credit facility. During the first half of fiscal 2012, there was an $85 million unfavorable translation effect from foreign currency exchange rates on cash held outside the United States in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

We expect that existing cash and cash equivalents, the availability of borrowings under existing and renewable credit lines, and cash expected to be provided from operations will be sufficient to meet ongoing cash requirements.

We expect to use existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances and future cash generated from operations to fund capital spending, financing activities such as the repayment of our debt balances as they mature, the payment of dividends, and the potential repurchase of shares of common stock in accordance with any plans approved by our Board of Directors, as well as our continued investment in our enterprise resource planning implementation and future acquisitions.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Under our subscription and maintenance agreements, customers generally make installment payments over the term of the agreement, often with at least one payment due at contract execution, for the right to use our software products and receive product support, software fixes and new products when available. The timing and actual amounts of cash received from committed customer installment payments under any specific agreement can be affected by several factors, including the time value of money and the customer’s credit rating. Often, the amount received is the result of direct negotiations with the customer when establishing pricing and payment terms. In certain instances, the customer negotiates a price for a single up-front installment payment and seeks its own internal or external financing sources. In other instances, we may assist the customer by arranging financing on its behalf through a third party financial institution. Alternatively, we may decide to transfer our rights to the future committed installment payments due under the license agreement to a third-party financial institution in exchange for a cash payment. Once transferred, the future committed installments are payable by the customer to the third-party financial institution. Whether the future committed installments have been financed directly by the customer with our assistance or by the transfer of our rights to future committed installments to a third-party, such financing agreements may contain limited recourse provisions with respect to our continued performance under the license agreements. Based on our historical experience, we believe that any liability that we may incur as a result of these limited recourse provisions will be immaterial.

Amounts billed or collected as a result of a single installment for the entire contract value, or a substantial portion of the contract value, rather than being invoiced and collected over the life of the license agreement are reflected in the liability section of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Deferred revenue (billed or collected).” Amounts received from either a customer or a third-party financial institution that are attributable to later years of a license agreement have a positive impact on billings and cash provided by operating activities in the current period. Accordingly, to the extent such collections are attributable to the later years of a license agreement, billings and cash provided

by operating activities during the license’s later years will be lower than if the payments were received over the license term. We are unable to predict with certainty the amount of cash to be collected from single installments for the entire contract value, or a substantial portion of the contract value, under new or renewed license agreements to be executed in future periods.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, gross receipts related to single installments for the entire contract value, or a substantial portion of the contract value, were $100 million compared with $124 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

In any quarter, we may receive payments in advance of the contractually committed date on which the payments were otherwise due. In certain instances, the customer may elect to make such payments without any discounts offered by us.

Amounts due from customers are offset by deferred revenue related to these license agreements, leaving no or minimal net carrying value on the balance sheets for such amounts. The fair value of such amounts may exceed or be less than this carrying value but cannot be practically assessed since there is no existing market for a pool of customer receivables with contractual commitments similar to those owned by us. The actual fair value may not be known until these amounts are sold, securitized or collected. Although these customer license agreements commit the customer to payment under a fixed schedule, to the extent amounts are not yet due and payable by the customer, the agreements are considered executory in nature due to our ongoing commitment to provide maintenance and unspecified future software products as part of the agreement terms.

We can estimate the total amounts to be billed from committed contracts, referred to as our “billings backlog,” and the total amount to be recognized as revenue from committed contracts, referred to as our “revenue backlog.” The aggregate amounts of our billings backlog and trade and installment receivables already reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the amounts we expect to collect in the future from committed contracts.

We can also estimate the total cash to be collected in the future from committed contracts, referred to as our “Expected future cash collections,” by adding the total billings backlog to the trade accounts receivable, which represent amounts already billed but not collected, from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(1)		Previously reported information has been adjusted to exclude discontinued operations.

The decreases in our total revenue and billings backlogs as well as our expected future cash collections at September 30, 2011 compared with March 31, 2011 were driven by the decrease in committed value associated with customer contracts, which are typically lower in the first half when compared to the second half of a fiscal year. Revenue to be recognized in the next 12 months decreased by 5% at September 30, 2011 compared with March 31, 2011.

The increases in our total revenue and billings backlogs as well as our expected future cash collections at September 30, 2011 compared with September 30, 2010 were driven by the increase in committed value associated with customer contracts. Total revenue backlog increased 4% at September 30, 2011 compared with September 30, 2010. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange total revenue backlog increased 4% at September 30, 2011 compared with September 30, 2010. Revenue to be recognized in the next 12 months increased by 4% at September 30, 2011 compared with September 30, 2010. This increase includes revenue to be recognized in future periods attributable to a license agreement with one large IT outsourcer for approximately $500 million that was executed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. This license agreement

extends through fiscal year 2016. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange, revenue to be recognized in the next 12 months increased by 3% at September 30, 2011 compared with September 30, 2010.

Generally, we believe that an increase in the current portion of revenue backlog on a year-over-year basis is a positive indicator of future subscription and maintenance revenue growth.

Second Quarter Comparison — Fiscal Year 2012 versus Fiscal Year 2011

Operating Activities:

Cash generated by continuing operating activities for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $190 million, representing an increase of $61 million compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase was primarily due to an increase in cash collections on trade receivables and a decrease in cash paid for income taxes. These increases were offset by increases in other disbursements of $38 million.

Investing Activities:

Cash used in investing activities for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $393 million, compared with $62 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the increase in cash paid for acquisitions of $321 million, which includes $37 million in payments of previously accrued acquisition related costs from prior period acquisitions, and an increase of $15 million in capitalized software development costs.

Financing Activities:

Cash used in financing activities for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $228 million compared with $124 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the increase of $100 million in common shares repurchased during the second quarter of fiscal 2012, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

First Half Comparison — Fiscal Year 2012 versus Fiscal Year 2011

Operating Activities:

Cash generated by continuing operating activities for the first half of fiscal 2012 was $333 million, representing an increase of $82 million compared with the first half of fiscal 2011. The increase was primarily due to an increase in cash collections on trade receivables, offset by an increase in income tax payments of $87 million and an increase in other disbursements of $56 million.

Investing Activities:

Cash used in investing activities for the first half of fiscal 2012 was $500 million compared with $154 million for the first half of fiscal 2011. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the increase in cash paid for acquisitions of $341 million, which includes $43 million in payments of previously accrued acquisition related costs from prior period acquisitions, and an increase of $23 million in capitalized software development costs. Cash used in investing activities for the first half of fiscal 2011 included a $15 million equity investment in Watermark Medical, Inc., a privately-held medical products and services company.

Financing Activities:

Cash used in financing activities for the first half of fiscal 2012 was $581 million compared with $199 million in the first half of fiscal 2011. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the repayment of $250 million under our revolving credit facility due August 2012 and an increase in common shares repurchased of $198 million, offset by an increase in borrowing positions outstanding of $61 million relating to our notional pooling arrangement.

Debt Obligations

As of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, our debt obligations consisted of the following:


	September 30,			March 31,
	2011			2011
	(in millions)

Total debt outstanding		1,310			1,551

Less the current portion		(18	)		(269	)

Total long-term debt portion	$	1,292		$	1,282

Our debt obligations at September 30, 2011 decreased by $241 million compared with March 31, 2011. This decrease was primarily a result of our repayment of the outstanding revolving credit facility balance of $250 million, offset by the fair value adjustment of $15 million relating to our interest rates swaps on our 6.125% Senior Notes due December 2014.

In August 2011, the Company terminated the revolving credit facility due August 2012 and entered into a new revolving credit facility due August 2016. The maximum committed amount available under the revolving credit facility due August 2016 is $1 billion. The facility also provides the Company with an option to increase the available credit by up to $500 million. This option is subject to certain conditions and the agreement of the facility lenders. There are no outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2011.

Refer to Note I, “Debt,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Other Indebtedness

We have available an unsecured and uncommitted multi-currency line of credit to meet short-term working capital needs for our subsidiaries operating outside the United States. We use guarantees and letters of credit issued by financial institutions to guarantee performance on certain contracts. At September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, approximately $53 million and $55 million, respectively, was pledged in support of bank guarantees and other local credit lines and none of these arrangements had been drawn down by third parties.

We use a notional pooling arrangement with an international bank to help manage global liquidity requirements. Under this pooling arrangement, the Company and its participating subsidiaries may maintain either cash deposit or borrowing positions through local currency accounts with the bank, so long as the aggregate position of the global pool is a notionally calculated net cash deposit. Because it maintains a security interest in the cash deposits, and has the right to offset the cash deposits against the borrowings, the bank provides us and our participating subsidiaries favorable interest terms on both. At September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the borrowing positions outstanding under this cash pooling arrangement were as follows:


	September 30,			March 31,
	2011			2011

For additional information concerning our debt obligations, refer to our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our 2011 Form 10-K.

Effect of Exchange Rate Changes

There was an $85 million unfavorable impact to our cash balances in the first half of fiscal 2012 predominantly due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the South African rand (20%), the Brazilian real (15%), the Swedish krona (9%), the Canadian dollar (8%), the Australian dollar (7%) and the euro (6%).

There was a $32 million favorable impact to our cash balances in the first half of fiscal 2011 predominantly due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro (1%), the Australian dollar (5%) and the Brazilian real (6%).

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BUSINESS PRACTICES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our estimates form the basis for making judgments about amounts and timing of revenue and expenses, the carrying values of assets and the recorded amounts of liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such estimates may change if the underlying conditions

or assumptions change. Information with respect to our critical accounting policies that we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported results or require subjective or complex judgments by management is contained in our 2011 Form 10-K under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. At September 30, 2011, there has been no material change to this information.

Item 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to a variety of risks, including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate changes and changes in the market value of our investments. In the normal course of business, we employ established policies and procedures to manage these risks including the use of derivative instruments. There have been no material changes in our financial risk management strategy or our portfolio management strategy, which is described in our 2011 Form 10-K, subsequent to March 31, 2011.

Item 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as disclosed in the following paragraph, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

As disclosed above, in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company changed its operating segments under ASC 280, “Segment Reporting.” This change in segments gave rise to changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that included the implementation of control procedures to address the completeness, accuracy and consistency of the processing of our business transactions to derive the segment information disclosed in our financial statements. The Company expects that further changes to internal control over financial reporting associated with our segment reporting will continue through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 as these procedures are further improved and enhanced.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Refer to Note L, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding certain legal proceedings, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Current and potential stockholders should consider carefully the risk factors described in more detail in our 2011 Form 10-K. We believe that as of September 30, 2011, there has been no material change to this information, except as noted below. Any of these factors, or others, many of which are beyond our control, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flow and stock price.

Failure by us to effectively execute on our announced workforce reductions could result in total costs that are greater than expected or revenues that are less than anticipated.

We have announced workforce reductions and other cost reduction initiatives to reallocate resources to growth areas of our business as part of our strategy. We may have further workforce reductions in the future. Risks associated with these actions and other workforce management issues include delays in implementation, changes in plans that increase or decrease the number of employees affected, adverse effects on employee morale and the failure to meet operational targets due to the loss of employees, any of which may impair our ability to achieve anticipated cost reductions or may otherwise harm our business, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flow.
