Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

Company Overview - We are a global software company that simplifies the development, deployment and management of business applications on-premise or in the cloud, on any platform or device, to any data source, with enhanced performance, minimal IT complexity and low total cost of ownership. Our comprehensive portfolio of products provides leading solutions for rapid development, broad data integration and efficient data analysis. Our solutions are used across a variety of industries.

Our products are generally sold as perpetual licenses, but certain products and business activities also use term licensing models and our cloud-based offerings use a subscription based model. More than half of our worldwide license revenue is realized through relationships with indirect channel partners, principally application partners and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Application partners are independent software vendors (ISVs) that develop and market applications using our technology and resell our products in conjunction with sales of their own products that incorporate our technology. OEMs are companies that embed our products into their own software products or devices.

We operate in North America and Latin America (the Americas); Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and the Asia Pacific region, through local subsidiaries as well as independent distributors.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies - We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for complete financial statements and these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2014.

We made no significant changes in the application of our significant accounting policies that were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2014. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach to adopt the guidance. In April 2015, the FASB voted to propose a delay in the effective date of this ASU for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date. As a result, the proposed new effective date for the Company will be December 1, 2018. This update could impact the timing and amounts of revenue recognized. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU 2015-03). ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The guidance in ASU 2015-03 is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within the reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company is considering early adoption of the new standard and expects the impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheets to be a reclassification of approximately $1.4 million from other assets to long-term debt as of December 1, 2015.

Note 3: Derivative Instruments

We generally use forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to hedge economically the impact of the variability in exchange rates on accounts receivable denominated in certain foreign currencies. We generally do not hedge the net assets of our international subsidiaries. All forward contracts are recorded at fair value in other current assets, other current liabilities, or other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at the end of each reporting period and expire from 90 days to two years. In the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, realized and unrealized losses of $1.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively, from our forward contracts were recognized in foreign currency gain (loss), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, realized and unrealized losses of $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, from our forward contracts were recognized in foreign currency gain (loss), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. These losses were substantially offset by realized and unrealized gains on the offsetting positions.

When developing fair value estimates, we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When available, we use quoted market prices to measure fair value. The valuation technique used to measure fair value for our Level 1 and Level 2 assets is a market approach, using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. If market prices are not available, the fair value measurement is based on models that use primarily market based parameters including yield curves, volatilities, credit ratings and currency rates. In certain cases where market rate assumptions are not available, we are required to make judgments about assumptions market participants would use to estimate the fair value of a financial instrument.

We have also classified contingent consideration related to the Rollbase, Inc. (Rollbase) and Modulus LLC (Modulus) acquisitions, which occurred in the second quarter of fiscal years 2013 and 2014, respectively, within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair values are derived using significant unobservable inputs, which include discount rates and probability-weighted cash flows. We determined the fair value of our contingent consideration obligations based on a probability-weighted income approach derived from probability assessments of the attainment of certain milestones. We establish discount rates to be utilized in our valuation models based on the cost to borrow that would be required by a market participant for similar instruments. In determining the probability of attaining certain milestones, we utilize data regarding similar milestone events from our own experience. On a quarterly basis, we reassess the probability factors associated with the milestones for our contingent consideration obligations. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these key assumptions as of the acquisition date and for each subsequent period.

The key assumptions as of May 31, 2015 related to the contingent consideration for the acquisition of Modulus used in the model are probabilities of 0% and approximately 40% that the year one and year two milestones associated with the contingent consideration will be achieved, respectively, and a discount rate of 33.0%. The year one milestone was not achieved as of May 31, 2015, which was the end of the first milestone period. A decrease in the probability of achievement of the year two milestone could result in a decrease to the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability.

In regard to the contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Rollbase, the contingency was relieved as of May 31, 2015 as the milestones associated with the contingent consideration were achieved as of this date. As such, the amount of the payment related to the contingent consideration was known as of May 31, 2015 and was based on actual results. We transferred the contingent earn out liability to a Level 2 fair value measurement as the value as of May 31, 2015 was based on observable inputs. The payment was made in June 2015 in the amount of $0.2 million.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, we recorded a $3.9 million asset impairment charge related to our cloud-based mobile application development technology as a result of our decision to replace our existing cloud-based mobile application development technology with technology acquired in connection with the acquisition of Telerik (Note 11). The fair value measurement was determined using an income-based valuation methodology, which incorporates unobservable inputs, including discounted expected cash flows over the remaining estimated useful life of the technology, thereby classifying the fair value as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The expected cash flows include subscription fees to be collected from existing customers using the platform, offset by hosting fees and compensation related costs to be incurred over the remaining estimated useful lives.

We did not have any nonrecurring fair value measurements as of November 30, 2014.

As a result of the acquisition of Telerik AD in December 2014 (Note 6), we recorded $64.8 million of purchased technology, $47.1 million of customer-related and other, and $11.2 million of trademarks and trade names as intangible assets during the six months ended May 31, 2015. These intangibles have a weighted average useful life of 5 years.

In the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, amortization expense related to intangible assets was $7.3 million and $15.1 million, respectively. In the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, amortization expense related to intangible assets was $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

As of May 31, 2015, no triggering events have occurred that would indicate a potential impairment of goodwill exists.

Note 6: Business Combinations

Telerik Acquisition

On December 2, 2014, we, through a wholly owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding securities of Telerik AD (Telerik), a leading provider of application development tools based in Sofia, Bulgaria, for total consideration of $262.5 million. Approximately $10.5 million of the total consideration was paid to Telerik’s founders and certain other key employees in restricted stock units, subject to a vesting schedule and continued employment. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, 10% of the total consideration was deposited into an escrow account to secure certain indemnification and other obligations of the sellers to Progress.

Through this acquisition, we now provide comprehensive cloud and on-premise platform offerings that enable developers to rapidly create applications, driven by data for any web, desktop or mobile platform. We funded the acquisition through a combination of existing cash resources and a $150 million term loan (Note 7).

The total consideration, less the fair value of the granted restricted stock units discussed above, which are considered compensation arrangements, has been allocated to Telerik’s tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The preliminary fair value estimates of the net assets acquired are based upon preliminary calculations and valuations, and those estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for those estimates during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The excess of the total consideration, less the fair value of the restricted stock units, over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill.

The preliminary fair value of the intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach in which the after-tax cash flows are discounted to present value. The cash flows are based on estimates prepared by management, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model as well as the weighted average cost of capital. Based on the preliminary valuation, the acquired intangible assets are comprised of existing technology of approximately $64.8 million, customer relationships of approximately $47.1 million, and trademarks and trade names of approximately $11.2 million.

Deferred taxes include deferred tax liabilities resulting from the tax effects of fair value adjustments related to identifiable intangible assets and deferred revenue, partially offset by the fair value of deferred tax assets acquired from Telerik. Tangible assets acquired and assumed liabilities were recorded at fair value. The valuation of the assumed deferred revenue was based on our contractual commitment to provide post-contract customer support to Telerik customers and future contractual performance obligations under existing hosting arrangements. The fair value of this assumed liability was based on the estimated cost plus a reasonable margin to fulfill these service obligations. A significant portion of the deferred revenue is expected to be recognized in the 12 months following the acquisition.

We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. We believe that the investment value of the future enhancement of our product and solution offerings created as a result of this acquisition has principally contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of $137.9 million of goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

As discussed above, approximately $10.5 million of the total consideration was paid to Telerik’s founders and certain other key employees in restricted stock units, subject to a vesting schedule and continued employment. We concluded that the restricted stock units are compensation arrangements and we have been recognizing stock-based compensation expense in accordance with the vesting schedule over the service period of the awards, which is 2 years. We recorded $0.7 million and $1.4 million of stock-based compensation expense related to these restricted stock units for the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, respectively. This amount is recorded as operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Acquisition-related transaction costs (e.g., legal, due diligence, valuation, and other professional fees) and certain acquisition restructuring and related charges are not included as a component of consideration transferred, but are required to be expensed as incurred. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, we incurred approximately $1.1 million and $1.9 million of acquisition-related costs, respectively, which are included in acquisition-related expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

In connection with the acquisition of Telerik, we agreed to provide retention bonuses to certain Telerik employees as an incentive for those employees to remain with Telerik for at least one year following the acquisition. We concluded that the retention bonuses for these individuals, which total approximately $2.5 million, are compensation arrangements and we have been accruing the maximum payouts ratably over the one-year service period. We have incurred $0.6 million and $1.2 million of expense related to the retention bonuses for the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, respectively, which are included in the acquisition-related expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations discussed above.

The operations of Telerik are included in our operating results as part of the Application Development and Deployment business unit from the date of acquisition. The amount of revenue of Telerik included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 were approximately $9.2 million and $13.7

Table of Contents

million, respectively. The amount of pretax losses of Telerik included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015 were approximately $7.8 million and $18.7 million, respectively. The revenue of Telerik is primarily being recognized ratably over the maintenance period, which is generally one year, as vendor specific objective evidence (or VSOE) of fair value cannot be established for such maintenance. The pretax loss does not include the amortization expense of approximately $12.3 million related to the acquired intangible assets discussed above as the intangible assets and related amortization were recorded by the acquiring entity.

Pro Forma Information

The following pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of Progress and Telerik as if the acquisition had occurred on December 1, 2013 after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflected herein include only those adjustments that are directly attributable to the Telerik acquisition and factually supportable. These pro forma adjustments include (i) a decrease in revenue from Telerik due to the beginning balance of deferred revenue being adjusted to reflect the fair value of the acquired balance, (ii) a net increase in amortization expense to eliminate historical amortization of Telerik intangible assets and to record amortization expense for the $123.1 million of acquired identifiable intangible assets, (iii) stock-based compensation expense relating to the consideration paid to Telerik’s founders and certain other key employees in restricted stock units, as discussed above, (iv) a net increase in interest expense to eliminate historical interest expense of Telerik as a result of the repayment of all Telerik outstanding debt in connection with the acquisition and to record interest expense for the period presented as a result of the new credit facility entered into by Progress in connection with the acquisition, (v) acquisition-related costs, including transaction costs incurred by Progress related to the accrual of retention bonuses discussed above, and (vi) the income tax effect of the adjustments made at either the statutory tax rate of Bulgaria (10%) or the statutory tax rate of the U.S. (approximately 37%) depending on which jurisdiction the adjustment impacts.

The pro forma financial information does not reflect any adjustments for anticipated synergies resulting from the acquisition and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have actually occurred had the transaction been consummated on December 1, 2013.

BravePoint Acquisition

On October 1, 2014, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of BravePoint, Inc. (BravePoint) from Chesapeake Utilities Corporation in exchange for $12.0 million in cash. BravePoint is based in Norcross, Georgia and is a provider of OpenEdge consulting, training and application development services designed to increase customers' profitability and competitiveness through the use of technology. This acquisition significantly extends our services capabilities and enhances our ability to quickly enable our partners and customers to take greater advantage of new technologies.  The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and accordingly, the results of operations of BravePoint are included in our operating results as part of the OpenEdge business unit from the date of acquisition. We paid the purchase price in cash from available funds.

We recorded the excess of the purchase price over the identified tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. We believe that the investment value of the future enhancement of our product and solution offerings created as a result of this acquisition has principally contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of $2.3 million of goodwill. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. The allocation of the purchase price was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014 upon the finalization of our valuation of identifiable intangible assets.

We incurred approximately $0.6 million and $0.9 million of acquisition-related costs during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, respectively, which are included in acquisition-related expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. We have not disclosed the amount of revenues and earnings of BravePoint since acquisition, nor pro forma financial information, as those amounts are not significant to our consolidated financial statements.

Modulus Acquisition

On May 13, 2014, we acquired 100% of the membership interests of Modulus LLC (Modulus), a privately held platform-as-a-service (PaaS) provider based in Cincinnati, Ohio, for $15.0 million. The purchase consideration consisted of $12.5 million in cash paid and $2.5 million of contingent consideration, payable over a two year period, if earned. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be $1.5 million at the date of acquisition; as such, the fair value of the purchase consideration allocated to the assets acquired totaled $14.0 million. Note that the year one milestone was not achieved as of May 31, 2015, which was the end of the first milestone period (Note 4).

Modulus provides a PaaS for easily hosting, deploying, scaling and monitoring data-intensive, real-time applications using powerful, rapidly growing Node.js and MongoDB technologies. The purpose of the acquisition is to capitalize on the expected market growth of the core technologies that Modulus supports and drive new revenue through the Pacific platform. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and accordingly, the results of operations of Modulus are included in our operating results from the date of acquisition. We paid the purchase price in cash from available funds.

deductible for tax purposes. The allocation of the purchase price was completed in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 upon the finalization of our valuation of identifiable intangible assets.

We recorded credits of approximately $1.1 million and $1.2 million during the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, respectively, due to the change in fair value of the contingent consideration obligation, which is included in acquisition-related expenses in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. We have not disclosed the amount of revenues and earnings of Modulus since acquisition, nor pro forma financial information, as those amounts are not significant to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 7: Term Loan and Line of Credit

On December 2, 2014, we entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with each of the lenders party thereto (the Lenders), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Citizens Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agents, Bank of America, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Silicon Valley Bank, as Documentation Agents, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as Sole Bookrunner and Sole Lead Arranger, providing for a $150 million secured term loan and a $150 million secured revolving credit facility, which may be made available in U.S. Dollars and certain other currencies. The revolving credit facility may be increased by up to an additional $75 million if the existing or additional lenders are willing to make such increased commitments.

This Credit Agreement replaces our previous unsecured revolving credit facility dated August 15, 2011. The previous credit facility was to mature on August 15, 2016. Loans under the previous credit agreement could be paid before maturity in whole or in part at our option without penalty or premium. There were no revolving loans and $0.7 million of letters of credit outstanding at the time of the termination of the previous credit agreement, which letters of credit were incorporated into the new credit facility. In addition, there was $0.3 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the previous credit agreement remaining at the time of the termination that was written off to interest income (expense) and other, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The term loan included in the Credit Agreement was used to partially fund our acquisition of Telerik, as described in Note 6. The revolving credit facility has sublimits for swing line loans up to $25.0 million and for the issuance of standby letters of credit in a face amount up to $25.0 million. We expect to use the revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of other businesses, and may also use it for working capital.

Interest rates for the term loan and revolving credit facility are determined based on an index selected at our option and would range from 1.50% to 2.25% above the Eurodollar rate for Eurodollar-based borrowings or would range from 0.50% to 1.25% above the defined base rate for base rate borrowings, in each case based upon our leverage ratio. Additionally, we may borrow certain foreign currencies at rates set in the same range above the respective London interbank offered interest rates (LIBOR) for those currencies, based on our leverage ratio. A quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility is required, ranging from 0.25% to 0.40% per annum, based upon our leverage ratio. The average interest rate of the credit facility during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2015 was 1.94%.

The credit facility matures on December 2, 2019, when all amounts outstanding will be due and payable in full. The revolving credit facility does not require amortization of principal. The term loan requires repayment of principal at the end of each fiscal quarter, beginning with the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2015. The first eight payments are in the principal amount of $1.9 million each, the following eight payments are in the principal amount of $3.8 million each, the following three payments are in the principal amount of $5.6 million each, and the last payment is of the remaining principal amount. Any amounts outstanding under the term loan thereafter would be due on the maturity date. The term loan may be prepaid before maturity in whole or in part at our option without penalty or premium. As of May 31, 2015, the carrying value of the term loan approximates the fair value, based on Level 2 inputs (observable market prices in less than active markets), as the interest rate is variable over the selected interest period and is similar to current rates at which we can borrow funds. Based on Level 2 inputs, the fair value of the term loan was $146.3 million as of May 31, 2015, with $7.5 million due in the next 12 months.

Costs incurred to obtain our long-term debt are recorded as debt issuance costs within other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2015 and are amortized over the term of the debt agreement using the effective interest rate method. During the first six months of fiscal year 2015, we recorded $1.7 million of debt issuance costs. Amortization expense related to the debt issuance costs is recorded within interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, this amount was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, amortization expense related to the debt issuance costs of our previous credit agreement was minimal and $0.1 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until December 2, 2019, at which time all amounts outstanding must be repaid. Accrued interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears with respect to base rate loans and at the end of each interest rate period (or at each three month interval in the case of loans with interest periods greater than three months) with respect to LIBOR rate loans. We may prepay the loans or terminate or reduce the commitments in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions and reimbursement of certain costs in the case of LIBOR rate loans. As of May 31, 2015, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving line and $0.5 million of letters of credit.

We are the sole borrower under the credit facility. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of our material domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of our assets and such material domestic subsidiaries, as well as 100% of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of our first-tier foreign subsidiaries, in each case, subject to certain exceptions as described in the Credit Agreement. Future material domestic subsidiaries will be required to guaranty our obligations under the Credit Agreement, and to grant security interests in substantially all of their assets to secure such obligations. The Credit Agreement generally prohibits, with certain exceptions, any other liens on our assets, subject to certain exceptions as described in the Credit Agreement.

The credit facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict our ability to, among other things, grant liens, make investments, make acquisitions, incur indebtedness, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, pay dividends or make distributions, repurchase stock, change the nature of the business, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and enter into burdensome agreements, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type. We are also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, a consolidated total leverage ratio and a consolidated senior secured leverage ratio.

Note 8: Common Stock Repurchases

We repurchased and retired 1.0 million shares of our common stock for $25.0 million in the three months ended May 31, 2015 and 1.3 million shares for $32.9 million in the six months ended May 31, 2015. In the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, we repurchased and retired 1.2 million shares for $25.2 million and 1.6 million shares for $35.0 million, respectively. The shares were repurchased in both periods as part of our Board of Directors authorized $100.0 million share repurchase program, with $14.5 million remaining under the current authorization.

Note 9: Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards measured at the grant date and recognized over the relevant service period. We estimate the fair value of each stock-based award on the measurement date using the current market price of the stock or the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 and each of the first two quarters of fiscal year 2015, we granted performance-based restricted stock units that include a three-year market condition. In order to estimate the fair value of such awards, we used a Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model. The Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo Simulation valuation models incorporate assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options or awards, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. We recognize stock-based compensation expense related to options and restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the service period of the award, which is generally 4 or 5 years for options and 3 years for restricted stock units. We recognize stock-based compensation expense related to performance stock units and our employee stock purchase plan using an accelerated attribution method.

The following table provides the classification of stock-based compensation as reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of income (in thousands):

Note 11: Restructuring Charges

2015 Restructuring

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, we restructured our operations in connection with the acquisition of Telerik. This restructuring resulted in a reduction in redundant positions primarily within the administrative functions. This restructuring also resulted in the closing of two facilities as well as asset impairment charges for assets no longer deployed as a result of the acquisition.

Restructuring expenses are related to employee costs, including severance, health benefits and outplacement services (but excluding stock-based compensation), facilities costs, which include fees to terminate lease agreements and costs for unused space, net of sublease assumptions, and other costs, which include asset impairment charges.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, we decided to replace our existing cloud-based mobile application development technology with technology acquired in connection with the acquisition of Telerik. Accordingly, we evaluated the ongoing value of the assets associated with this prior mobile technology and, based on this evaluation, we determined that the long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $3.9 million were no longer recoverable and were in fact impaired and wrote them down to their estimated fair value of $0.1 million. Fair value was based on expected future cash flows using Level 3 inputs under ASC 820.

As part of the 2015 restructuring, for the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, we incurred expenses of $3.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As we continue to evaluate the combined entities, we may incur additional costs with respect to the 2015 restructuring, including excess facilities and other costs as well as asset impairment charges for assets no longer deployed as a result of the acquisition.

Cash disbursements for expenses incurred to date under the 2015 restructuring are expected to be made through the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. As a result, the total amount of the restructuring reserve of $0.2 million is included in other accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2015.

2014 Restructuring

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to make strategic changes to our organization to provide greater focus and agility in the delivery of next generation application development, deployment and integration solutions. Effective September 1, 2014, we began to operate as three distinct business units: OpenEdge, Data Connectivity and Integration, and Application Development and Deployment, each with dedicated sales, product management and product marketing functions. In connection with the new organizational structure, we eliminated the position of global head of sales, as well as certain other positions within the sales and administrative organizations.

As part of the 2014 restructuring, for the three months ended May 31, 2015, we recorded an immaterial credit, and for the six months ended May 31, 2015, we incurred expenses of $1.3 million, which are related to employee costs, including severance, health benefits, and outplacement services, but excluding stock-based compensation, and facilities costs, which include fees to terminate lease agreements and costs for unused space, net of sublease assumptions. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We do not expect to incur additional material costs with respect to the 2014 restructuring.

2013 and 2012 Restructurings

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to restructure and improve efficiencies in our operations as a result of the sale of the Apama product line and the divestitures completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. We reduced our global workforce primarily within the administrative and sales organizations. This workforce reduction was conducted across all geographies and also resulted in the closing of certain facilities.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, our management approved, committed to and initiated certain operational restructuring initiatives to reduce annual costs, including the simplification of our organizational structure and the consolidation of facilities. In addition, as part of the strategic plan announced during fiscal year 2012, we divested the product lines not considered core to our business. Our restructuring actions included both cost reduction efforts and qualifying costs associated with our divestitures.

Restructuring expenses for both restructurings related to employee costs, including severance, health benefits, outplacement services and transition divestiture arrangements (but excluding stock-based compensation), and facilities costs, which include fees to terminate lease agreements and costs for unused space, net of sublease assumptions. Other costs include costs to terminate automobile leases of employees included in the workforce reduction, asset impairment charges for assets no longer deployed as part of cost reduction strategies, costs for unused software licenses as part of the workforce reduction and other costs directly associated with the restructuring actions taken.

As part of the 2013 and 2012 restructuring actions, for the three and six months ended May 31, 2015, we did not incur any expenses, and for the six months ended May 31, 2014, we incurred expenses of $0.3 million. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We do not expect to incur additional material costs with respect to the 2013 and 2012 restructuring actions.

Cash disbursements for expenses incurred to date under the 2013 and 2012 restructuring actions are expected to be made through fiscal year 2017. The short-term portion of the restructuring reserve of $0.1 million is included in other accrued liabilities and the long-term portion of $0.1 million is included in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2015.

Note 12: Income Taxes

Our income tax provision for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 and 2014 reflects our estimates of the effective tax rates expected to be applicable for the full fiscal years, adjusted for any discrete events which are recorded in the period they occur. The estimates are reevaluated each quarter based on our estimated tax expense for the full fiscal year.

The research and development credit was retroactively reinstated in December 2014. As a result, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 we recorded a tax benefit of $0.8 million related to qualifying research and development activities for the period from January 2014 to November 2014.

Our Federal income tax returns have been examined or are closed by statute for all years prior to fiscal year 2011, and we are no longer subject to audit for those periods. Our state income tax returns have been examined or are closed by statute for all years prior to fiscal year 2009, and we are no longer subject to audit for those periods.

Note 13: Earnings Per Share

We compute basic earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We compute diluted earnings per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding dilutive stock options, restricted stock units and deferred stock units, using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share on an interim basis (in thousands, except per share data):

were anti-dilutive. In the three and six months ended May 31, 2014, we excluded stock awards representing 501,000 shares and 399,000 shares of common stock, respectively, from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Note 14: Business Segments and International Operations

Operating segments are components of an enterprise that engage in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer.

Effective September 1, 2014, we began operating as three distinct business units: OpenEdge, Data Connectivity and Integration, and Application Development and Deployment, each with dedicated sales, product management and product marketing functions. As a result of these changes, we began segment reporting for our three business units beginning in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014. The segment information for the prior periods presented has been restated to reflect the change in our reportable segments.

We do not manage our assets or capital expenditures by segment or assign other income (expense) and income taxes to segments. We manage and report such items on a consolidated company basis.

The following table provides revenue and contribution from our reportable segments and reconciles to the consolidated (loss) income before income taxes:

Note 15: Related Party Transaction

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, we entered into a license agreement with Emdeon Inc. (Emdeon) to provide Emdeon access to certain of our software. Philip M. Pead, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is a member of Emdeon’s board of directors. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, we deployed the software and recorded revenue of $0.4 million. We also recorded $0.1 million of deferred maintenance revenue related to the arrangement as of May 31, 2015, which will be recorded as revenue on a straight-line basis over the remaining maintenance period. As Emdeon paid us the total amount upon deployment, there is no outstanding accounts receivable balance as of May 31, 2015.

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

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains certain safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. This Form 10-Q, and other information provided by us or statements made by our directors, officers or employees from time to time, may contain “forward-looking” statements and information, which involve risks and uncertainties. Actual future results may differ materially. Statements indicating that we “expect,” “estimate,” “believe,” “are planning” or “plan to” are forward-looking, as are other statements concerning future financial results, product offerings or other events that have not yet occurred. There are various factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the following: (1) Market acceptance of Progress’s strategy and product development initiatives; (2) pricing pressures and the competitive environment in the software industry and Platform-as-a-Service market; (3) Progress's ability to successfully manage transitions to new business models and markets, including an increased emphasis on a cloud and subscription strategy; (4) uncertainties relating to Progress’ acquisition of Telerik, including whether Progress will be able to realize expected benefits and anticipated synergies of the acquisition and whether Telerik’s business will be successfully integrated with Progress Software's business; (5) Progress's ability to make acquisitions and to realize the expected benefits and anticipated synergies from such acquisitions; (6) the continuing uncertainty in the U.S. and international economies, which could result in fewer sales of Progress's products and may otherwise harm Progress's business; (7) business and consumer use of the Internet and the continuing adoption of Cloud technologies; (8) the receipt and shipment of new orders; (9) Progress's ability to expand its relationships with channel partners and to manage the interaction of channel partners with its direct sales force; (10) the timely release of enhancements to Progress's products and customer acceptance of new products; (11) the positioning of Progress's products in its existing and new markets; (12) variations in the demand for professional services and technical support; (13) Progress's ability to penetrate international markets and manage its international operations; and (14) changes in exchange rates; and those factors discussed in Part II, Item 1A (Risk Factors) in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in Part I, Item 1A (Risk Factors) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2014. Although we have sought to identify the most significant risks to our business, we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized. We also cannot assure you that we have identified all possible issues which we might face. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements that we make.

Use of Constant Currency

Revenue from our international operations has historically represented more than half of our total revenue. As a result, our revenue results have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. For example, if the local currencies of our foreign subsidiaries weaken, our consolidated results stated in U.S. dollars are negatively impacted.

As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period to period comparisons, we believe the presentation of revenue growth rates on a constant currency basis enhances the understanding of our revenue results and evaluation of our performance in comparison to prior periods. The constant currency information presented is calculated by translating current period results using prior period weighted average foreign currency exchange rates. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

Overview

We are a global software company that simplifies the development, deployment and management of business applications on-premise or in the cloud, on any platform or device, to any data source, with enhanced performance, minimal IT complexity and low total cost of ownership. We intend to become a leading provider of next-generation application development and deployment capabilities in the cloud for the PaaS market. In furtherance of this strategy, we began to unify the product capabilities of our core product lines with the goal of refining and enhancing our next generation, feature-rich application development and deployment solution targeting the new market category of PaaS.

We made acquisitions in fiscal year 2014 in furtherance of our PaaS strategy and designed to accelerate our growth. In May 2014, we acquired Modulus LLC (Modulus), a PaaS provider offering a platform for easily hosting, deploying, scaling and monitoring data-intensive, real-time applications using powerful, rapidly growing Node.js and MongoDB technologies. In October, we acquired BravePoint, Inc. (BravePoint), a leading provider of consulting, training and application development services designed to increase customers' profitability and competitiveness through the use of technology. The acquisition of BravePoint significantly extends our services capabilities and enhances our ability to quickly enable our partners and customers to take greater advantage of new technologies.

Table of Contents


Following the end of fiscal year 2014, we acquired Telerik AD, a leading provider of application development tools. Telerik enables its 1.7 million strong developer community to create compelling user experiences across cloud, web, mobile and desktop applications. Through this acquisition, we now provide comprehensive cloud and on-premise platform offerings that enable developers to rapidly create applications, driven by data for any web, desktop or mobile platform. Our operating performance in fiscal year 2015 may be impacted by the disruption caused by the acquisition of Telerik as we finalize our integration efforts.

In addition, the revenue of Telerik is primarily being recognized ratably over the maintenance period, which is generally one year, as vendor specific objective evidence (or VSOE) of fair value cannot be established for such maintenance. As a result of acquisition accounting, the acquired deferred revenue balance was significantly reduced to reflect its fair value as of the acquisition date. However, we are still incurring the associated costs to fulfill the acquired deferred revenue, which are reflected in our consolidated statement of operations. As a result, our expenses as a percentage of total revenue are higher than we expect they will be in future periods once this acquired deferred revenue balance is recognized.

Effective September 1, 2014, we began operating as three distinct business units: OpenEdge, Data Connectivity and Integration, and Application Development and Deployment, each with dedicated sales, product management and product marketing functions. As a result of these changes, we began segment reporting for our three business units beginning in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014. The segment information for the prior periods presented has been restated to reflect the change in our reportable segments.

In January 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a $100.0 million share repurchase program. Under this authorization, we repurchased 1.3 million shares for $32.9 million during the first six months of fiscal year 2015. The approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the program as of May 31, 2015 is $14.5 million.

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from international operations, which are primarily conducted in foreign currencies. As a result, changes in the value of these foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar have significantly impacted our results of operations and may impact our future results of operations. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014, the value of the U.S. dollar strengthened in comparison to certain foreign currencies, including in Europe, Brazil and Australia, and has continued to strengthen during 2015. Since approximately 40% of our revenue is denominated in foreign currency, our revenue results have been negatively impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

We have evaluated, and expect to continue to evaluate, possible acquisitions and other strategic transactions designed to expand our business and/or add complementary products and technologies to our existing product sets. As a result, our expected uses of cash could change, our cash position could be reduced and we may incur additional debt obligations to the extent we complete additional acquisitions.

We believe that existing cash balances, together with funds generated from operations and amounts available under our credit facility will be sufficient to finance our operations and meet our foreseeable cash requirements through at least the next twelve months.

Total revenue increased $8.0 million, or 10%, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the same quarter last year. Revenue would have increased by 19% if exchange rates had been constant during the period as compared to exchange rates in the same quarter last year. In addition, total revenue increased $14.8 million, or 17% on a constant currency basis and 10% using actual exchange rates, in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the same period last year. The

increase was primarily a result of the impact of our acquisition of Telerik AD in December 2014 and BravePoint Inc. during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2014. Changes in prices from fiscal year 2014 to 2015 did not have a significant impact on our revenue.

Total revenue generated in North America increased $10.7 million, and total revenue generated outside North America decreased $2.7 million, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the same quarter last year. The increase in North America was primarily due to the impact of the Telerik and BravePoint acquisitions during the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 and the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, respectively. The decrease in revenue in our international regions was primarily due to the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar. Total revenue generated in markets outside North America represented 46% of total revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 and 54% of total revenue in the same quarter last year. If exchange rates had remained constant in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the exchange rates in effect in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, total revenue generated in markets outside North America would have been 51% of total revenue.

Total revenue generated in North America increased $18.2 million, and total revenue generated outside North America decreased $3.4 million, in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the same period last year. The increase in North America was primarily due to the impact of the Telerik and BravePoint acquisitions during the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 and the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, respectively. In the first six months of fiscal year 2015, revenue in all international regions was negatively impacted by the weaker local currencies. Total revenue generated in markets outside North America represented 47% of total revenue in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 and 54% of total revenue in the same period last year. If exchange rates had remained constant in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the exchange rates in effect in the same period of fiscal year 2014, total revenue generated in markets outside North America would have been 53% of total revenue.

Revenue in the OpenEdge segment decreased $1.3 million, or 2%, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the same quarter last year. However, on a constant currency basis, revenue in the OpenEdge segment, including revenue related to the BravePoint acquisition during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, increased 8% quarter over quarter, with strong license sales in both the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions. Data Connectivity and Integration revenue remained relatively flat year over year. Application Development and Deployment revenue increased $9.4 million year over year as a result of the impact of the Telerik acquisition, which closed during the first quarter of fiscal year 2015.

Revenue in the OpenEdge segment increased $1.5 million, or 1%, in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to incremental services revenues as a result of the BravePoint acquisition during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, offset by a decrease in maintenance revenue primarily in the EMEA region. On a constant currency basis, revenue in the OpenEdge segment increased 9% period over period. Data Connectivity and Integration revenue decreased $0.6 million, or 4%, year over year primarily in North America due to lower license revenue. Application Development and Deployment revenue increased $14.0 million, year over year, as a result of the impact of the Telerik acquisition, which closed during the first quarter of fiscal year 2015.

Amortization of acquired intangibles included in costs of revenue primarily represents the amortization of the value assigned to technology-related intangible assets obtained in business combinations. Amortization of acquired intangibles increased $3.6 million, or 672%, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the same quarter last year and increased $7.7 million, or 724%, in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the same period last year. The increase was due to amortization of intangible assets acquired with the Modulus, BravePoint and Telerik acquisitions, which were completed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, and the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, respectively, partially offset by decreases due to the completion of amortization of certain intangible assets acquired in prior years.

Our gross profit as a percentage of total revenue decreased from 91% to 82% and 90% to 80% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods of fiscal year 2014. The decrease is primarily related to the increase of cost of maintenance and services, mainly due to the impact of the BravePoint acquisition, and the increase of amortization of acquired intangible assets. In addition, as a result of acquisition accounting, the deferred revenue balance acquired from Telerik in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 was significantly reduced to reflect its fair value as of the acquisition date. However, we are still incurring the associated costs to fulfill the acquired deferred revenue, which are reflected in our consolidated statement of operations. As a result, our expenses as a percentage of total revenue are higher than we expect they will be in future periods once this acquired deferred revenue balance is recognized.

The increase was due to amortization of intangible assets acquired with the Modulus, BravePoint and Telerik acquisitions, which were completed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, and the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, respectively, partially offset by decreases due to the completion of amortization of certain intangible assets acquired in prior years.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and include those costs incurred as a result of a business combination. These costs consist of professional service fees, including third-party legal and valuation-related fees, as well as retention fees, including earn-out payments treated as compensation expense. Acquisition-related expenses decreased in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 compared to the same quarter last year due to expenses incurred related to the Modulus acquisition completed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, offset by expenses related to earn-out provisions which were part of the BravePoint and Telerik acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, and the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, respectively. Acquisition-related expenses remained relatively flat in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 compared to the same period last year. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Income from operations decreased $23.0 million, or 113%, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the same quarter last year. Income from operations decreased $48.2 million, or 141%, in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the same period last year. As discussed above, the decrease in both periods was primarily the result of higher expenses resulting from acquisitions, partially offset by higher revenue during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2015 compared to the same periods last year.

Other (expense) income decreased $0.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the same quarter last year primarily due to the increase in interest expense due to the new credit facility, partially offset by a decrease in foreign currency losses. Other (expense) income increased 24% in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the same period last year primarily due to an increase in foreign currency gains, partially offset by an increase in interest expense due to the new credit facility. The change in foreign currency gains is a result of movements in exchange rates and the impact in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2015 on our intercompany receivables and payables denominated in currencies other than local currencies.

Our effective tax rate was 253% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 compared to 36% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, and 134% in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 compared to 30% in the same period last year. The increase in the effective rate is primarily due to the jurisdictional mix of profits as a result of the acquisition of Telerik, where substantial losses are being incurred in Bulgaria and tax effected at a 10% statutory rate and other jurisdictions’ earnings, primarily in the United States, are being taxed at higher rates. The loss in Bulgaria is primarily due to amortization expense and other purchase accounting adjustments related to the Telerik acquisition. Without these purchase accounting adjustments we expect Telerik to be profitable for fiscal year 2015. Deferred tax liabilities have been established in purchase accounting for the tax effect of the Telerik amortization expense and other purchase accounting adjustments.

The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $84.1 million from the end of fiscal year 2014 was primarily due to the purchase of Telerik for cash consideration of $246.3 million, which is net of cash acquired, and repurchases of our common stock of $32.9 million, offset by cash inflows from operations of $57.9 million and net proceeds of $146.4 million from the issuance of debt. Except as described below, there are no limitations on our ability to access our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

As of May 31, 2015, $87.5 million of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments was held by our foreign subsidiaries. This amount is considered to be permanently reinvested; as such, it is not available to fund our domestic operations. If we were to repatriate these funds, they would be subject to taxation in the U.S., but would be offset by foreign tax credits. We do not believe this has a material impact on our liquidity.

Share Repurchase Program

In January 2014, our Board of Directors authorized a $100.0 million share repurchase program. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors, and the Board of Directors may choose to suspend, expand or discontinue the repurchase program at any time. During the first six months of fiscal year 2015, we repurchased 1.3 million shares of our common stock for $32.9 million, with $14.5 million remaining under the current authorization.

Restructuring Activities

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to make strategic changes to its organization to provide greater focus and agility in the delivery of next generation application development, deployment and integration solutions. Effective September 1, 2014, we began to operate as three distinct business units: OpenEdge, Data Connectivity and Integration, and Application Development and Deployment, each with dedicated sales, product management and product marketing functions. In connection with the new organizational structure, we no longer have a global head of sales, as well as certain other positions within the sales and administrative organizations.

As part of the 2014 restructuring, for the six months ended May 31, 2015, we incurred expenses of $1.3 million, which are related to employee costs, including severance, health benefits, and outplacement services, but excluding stock-based compensation, and facilities costs, which include fees to terminate lease agreements and costs for unused space, net of sublease assumptions. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We do not expect to incur additional material costs with respect to the 2014 restructuring. Cash disbursements for expenses incurred to date under the 2014 restructuring are expected to be made through the first quarter of fiscal year 2016.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, we restructured our operations in connection with the acquisition of Telerik. This restructuring resulted in a reduction in redundant positions primarily within the administrative functions. This restructuring also resulted in the closing of two facilities as well as asset impairment charges for assets no longer deployed as a result of the acquisition.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, we decided to replace our existing cloud-based mobile application development technology with technology acquired in connection with the acquisition of Telerik. Accordingly, we evaluated the ongoing value of the assets associated with this prior mobile technology and, based on this evaluation, we determined that the long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $3.9 million were no longer recoverable and were in fact impaired and wrote them down to their estimated fair value of $0.1 million.

As part of the 2015 restructuring, for the six months ended May 31, 2015, we incurred expenses of $4.9 million, which includes the impairment charge discussed above. The expenses are recorded as restructuring expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As we continue to evaluate the combined entities, we may incur additional costs with respect to the 2015 restructuring, which could be significant, including excess facilities and other costs as well as asset impairment charges for assets no longer deployed as a result of the acquisition.

Term Loan and Line of Credit

On December 2, 2014, in connection with entering into the new credit facility described below, we terminated our prior revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and the other lenders party to the credit facility.  Our prior credit facility was to mature on August 15, 2016.  Loans under the prior credit facility could be paid before maturity in whole or in part at our option without penalty or premium.  As of November 30, 2014 and at the time of termination, there were no revolving loans and $0.7 million of letters of credit outstanding. The outstanding letters of credit were incorporated into the new credit facility.

On December 2, 2014, we entered into a new credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and the other lenders party to the credit agreement providing for a $150 million secured term loan and a $150 million secured revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility may be increased by up to an additional $75 million if the existing or additional lenders are willing to make increased commitments. The term loan was used to partially fund our acquisition of Telerik. The revolving credit facility has sublimits for swing line loans up to $25.0 million and for the issuance of standby letters of credit in a face amount up to $25.0 million. We expect to use the revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of other businesses, and may also use it for working capital.

Interest rates for the term loan and revolving credit facility are determined at our option and would range from 1.50% to 2.25% above the Eurodollar rate for Eurodollar-based borrowings or would range from 0.50% to 1.25% above the defined base rate for base rate borrowings, in each case based upon our leverage ratio.  Additionally, we may borrow certain foreign currencies at rates set in the same range above the respective London interbank offered interest rates for those currencies, based on our leverage ratio.  A quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility is required, ranging from 0.25% to 0.40% per annum, based upon our leverage ratio. The average interest rate of the credit facility during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2015 was 1.94%.


35
Table of Contents

The credit facility matures on December 2, 2019, when all amounts outstanding will be due and payable in full.  The revolving credit facility does not require amortization of principal.  The term loan requires repayment of principal at the end of each fiscal quarter, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending February 28, 2015.  The first eight payments are in the principal amount of $1.9 million each, the following eight payments are in the principal amount of $3.8 million each, the following three payments are in the principal amount of $5.6 million each, and the last payment is of the remaining principal amount. Any amounts outstanding under the term loan thereafter would be due on the maturity date.  The term loan may be prepaid before maturity in whole or in part at our option without penalty or premium. As of May 31, 2015, the outstanding balance of the term loan was $146.3 million, with $7.5 million due in the next 12 months.

Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until December 2, 2019, at which time all amounts outstanding must be repaid. Accrued interest on the loans is payable quarterly in arrears with respect to base rate loans and at the end of each interest rate period (or at each three month interval in the case of loans with interest periods greater than three months) with respect to LIBOR rate loans. We may prepay the loans or terminate or reduce the commitments in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty, subject to certain conditions and reimbursement of certain costs in the case of LIBOR rate loans. As of May 31, 2015, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving line and $0.5 million of letters of credit.

We are the sole borrower under the credit facility. Our obligations are guaranteed by each of our material domestic subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of our assets and those of our material domestic subsidiaries, as well as 100% of the capital stock of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of our first-tier foreign subsidiaries, in each case, subject to certain exceptions. Future material domestic subsidiaries will be required to guaranty our obligations under the credit facility, and to grant security interests in substantially all of their assets to secure such obligations.

The credit facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict our ability to, among other things, grant liens, make investments, make acquisitions, incur indebtedness, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, pay dividends or make distributions, repurchase stock, change the nature of the business, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and enter into burdensome agreements, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type. We are also required to maintain compliance with a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, a consolidated total leverage ratio and a consolidated senior secured leverage ratio. We are in compliance with these covenants as of May 31, 2015.

The increase in cash generated from operations in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 as compared to the first six months of fiscal year 2014 was primarily due to changes in operating assets and liabilities. Our gross accounts receivable as of May 31, 2015 decreased by $12.2 million from the end of fiscal year 2014, which is primarily due to greater collections than billings during the period. Days sales outstanding (DSO) in accounts receivable was 50 days compared to 63 days at the end of fiscal year 2014. In addition, our total deferred revenue as of May 31, 2015 increased by $33.4 million from the end of fiscal year 2014.

Net cash outflows and inflows of our net investment activity are generally a result of the timing of our purchases and maturities of securities, which are classified as cash equivalents or short-term securities. In addition, we purchased $4.4 million of property and equipment in the first six months of fiscal year 2015, as compared to $6.1 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2014. Most significantly, however, we acquired Telerik during the first quarter of fiscal year 2015 for a net cash amount of $246.3 million, compared to the acquisition of Modulus during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 for a net cash amount of $12.5 million.

During the first six months of fiscal year 2015, we received net proceeds of $144.5 million from the issuance of debt. We also received $6.4 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of shares under our employee stock purchase plan as compared to $6.9 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2014. In addition, in the first six months of fiscal year 2015, we repurchased $32.9 million of our common stock under our share repurchase plan compared to $35.0 million in the same period of the prior year.

Indemnification Obligations

We include standard intellectual property indemnification provisions in our licensing agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to our product license agreements, we will indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally business partners or customers, in connection with certain patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by third parties with respect to our products. Other agreements with our customers provide indemnification for claims relating to property damage or personal injury resulting from the performance of services by us or our subcontractors. Historically, our costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to such indemnity agreements have been insignificant. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of these indemnification provisions is immaterial.

Liquidity Outlook

We believe that existing cash balances, together with funds generated from operations and amounts available under our new credit facility, will be sufficient to finance our operations and meet our foreseeable cash requirements through at least the next twelve months. We do not contemplate a need for any foreign repatriation of the earnings which are deemed permanently reinvested. Our foreseeable cash needs include our planned capital expenditures and share repurchases, lease commitments, restructuring obligations and other long-term obligations.

Our backlog of orders not included on the balance sheet is not subject to our normal accounting controls for information that is either reported in or derived from our basic financial statements. Note that approximately $17.4 million of the multi-year licensing arrangements as of May 31, 2015 relate to DataDirect OEM arrangements, while the remaining amount relates to arrangements in our OpenEdge business unit.
We typically fulfill most of our software license orders within 30 days of acceptance of a purchase order. Assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met, we recognize software license revenue upon shipment of the product, or if delivered electronically, when the customer has the right to access the software. Because there are many elements governing when revenue is recognized, including when orders are shipped, credit approval obtained, completion of internal control processes over revenue recognition and other factors, management has some control in determining the period in which certain revenue is recognized. In addition, there is no industry standard for the definition of backlog and there may be an element of estimation in determining the amount. As such, direct comparisons with other companies may be difficult or potentially misleading.

Legal and Other Regulatory Matters

See discussion regarding legal and other regulatory matters in Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our only significant off-balance sheet commitments relate to operating lease obligations. Future annual minimum rental lease payments are detailed in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2014. We have no “off-balance sheet arrangements” within the meaning of Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach to adopt the guidance. In April 2015, the FASB voted to propose a delay in the effective date of this ASU for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted as of the original effective date. As a result, the proposed new effective date for the Company will be December 1, 2018. This update could impact the timing and amounts of revenue recognized. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU 2015-03). ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The guidance in ASU 2015-03 is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within the reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company is considering early adoption of the new standard and expects the impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheets to be a reclassification of approximately $1.4 million from other assets to long-term debt as of December 1, 2015.

Our management maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated our “internal control over financial reporting” as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) to determine whether any changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2015 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
