1. Nature of Operations

 

(a) Organization

 

Genpact Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated in Bermuda on March 29, 2007 as a subsidiary of Genpact Global Holdings SICAR S.à.r.l. (“GGH”) with the intent of making it the new holding company of our business. On July 13, 2007, the Company effectuated a transaction that resulted in the shareholders of GGH exchanging their common stock in GGH for common shares of the Company, and the shareholders of Genpact Global (Lux) S.à.r.l. (“GGL”) exchanging their preferred and common stock in GGL for common shares of the Company. As a result, Genpact Limited became the owner of all the capital stock of GGL and GGH. This transaction and other related transactions commencing on this date are referred to as the “2007 Reorganization”.

 

We use the terms “Genpact”, “Company”, “we” and “us” to refer to both GGH and its subsidiaries prior to July 13, 2007 and Genpact Limited and its subsidiaries after such date.

 

Prior to December 30, 2004, the business of the Company was conducted through various entities and divisions of the General Electric Company (“GE”). On December 30, 2004, in a series of transactions referred to as the “2004 Reorganization”, GE transferred such operations to a newly formed entity, GGH.

 

(b) Nature of Operations

 

The Company is a leader in the globalization of services and technology and a pioneer in managing business processes for companies around the world. The Company combines its process expertise, information technology expertise and analytical capabilities, together with operational insight derived from its experience in diverse industries, to provide a wide range of services using its global delivery platform. The Company’s service offerings include finance and accounting, collections and customer service, insurance services, supply chain and procurement, analytics, enterprise application services and IT infrastructure services. The Company delivers services from a global network of more than 30 locations in ten countries. The Company’s service delivery locations, referred to as Delivery Centers, are in India, the United States (“U.S.”), China, Mexico, Romania, the Netherlands, Hungary, the Philippines, Spain and Guatemala.

 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

 

(a) Basis of preparation and principles of consolidation

 

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

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

 

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

 

The minority interest disclosed in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements represents the minority partners’ interest in the operation of Genpact Netherlands B.V. and the profits associated with the minority partners’ interest in those operations. The minority partners are individually liable for the tax obligations on their share of profit and, accordingly, minority interest has been computed prior to tax and disclosed accordingly in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

(b) Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, intangibles and goodwill, the provision for doubtful receivables and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, valuation of derivative financial instruments, the measurements of share-based compensation, assets and obligations related to employee benefits, income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are reasonable. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any changes in estimates are adjusted prospectively in the financial statements.

 

(c) Financial instruments and concentration of credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are reflected principally in cash and cash equivalents, short term deposits, derivative financial instruments and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with corporations and banks with high investment grade ratings. Short term deposits are with GE, a significant shareholder, and with other financial institutions. To reduce its credit risk on accounts receivable, the Company performs an ongoing credit evaluation of customers. GE accounted for 48% and 36% of receivables as of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2008, respectively. GE accounted for 62% and 48% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and for 57% and 46% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

 

(d) Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines “fair value”, establishes a framework for the measurement of fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement does not require any new fair value measures but its provisions apply when fair value measurements are performed as required or permitted under other accounting pronouncements. In February 2008, the FASB approved FASB Staff Position No.157-2, “Effective Date of FASB statement No. 157”, which grants a one-year deferral of SFAS No. 157’s fair-value measurement requirements for non-financial assets and liabilities, except for items that are measured or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis. The partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. See note 5 for information and related disclosures regarding our fair value measurements.

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other eligible items at fair value. The issuance of SFAS No. 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement in the preparation of financial statements. However, SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159. The Company has not elected to use fair value measurements under SFAS No. 159 with respect to any existing eligible instruments.

 

(e) Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”), which is a revision of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Company will be required to comply with the provisions of SFAS No. 141R for acquisitions made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 141R on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require (i) the ownership interest in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent to be clearly identified and presented in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity, (ii) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, and (iii) changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary to be accounted for consistently. SFAS No. 160 applies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities with a view toward improving the transparency of financial reporting. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged, however does not require comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 161 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS No. 142-3”). FSP FAS No. 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP FAS No. 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP FAS No. 142-3 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

(f) Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of prior periods to conform to the classification used in the current period.

 

In the second quarter of 2008, the Company reclassified certain amounts relating to the effective portion of the (gains) losses on foreign currency derivative contracts in order to more clearly reflect the Company’s costs, including the impact of its foreign exchange hedging strategy. Such (gains) losses have been reclassified from “Foreign exchange (gains) losses, net” to the underlying hedged item and disclosed within “Income from operations” as part of “Total net revenues”, “Cost of revenue” or “Selling, general and administrative expenses”, as applicable. Further, “Foreign exchange (gains) losses, net” have been reclassified from operating income to non-operating income, and disclosed separately, and include the ineffective portion of the (gains) losses on foreign currency derivative contracts as well as all other foreign exchange (gains) losses.

Accounts receivable from a significant shareholder, GE, were $95,018 and $86,983, and provision for doubtful receivables was $1,711 and $2,244, resulting in net accounts receivable balances of $93,307 and $84,739, as of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2008, respectively.

 

5. Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including derivative instruments and loans held for sale.

6. Derivative financial instruments

 

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets and foreign currency denominated forecasted cash flows. The Company has established risk management policies, including the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency assets and foreign currency denominated forecasted cash flows. These derivative financial instruments are largely forward foreign exchange contracts. The counterparties are banks and the Company considers the risks of non-performance by the counterparties as non-material. The forward foreign exchange contracts mature between one and thirty-nine months and the forecasted transactions are expected to occur during the same period.

 

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

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

 

Effective April 1, 2007, an amendment was made to the Indian Income Tax Act to subject specified securities allotted or transferred by an employer to its employees resident in India to fringe benefit tax, or FBT. When an employee covered under the Indian Income Tax Act exercises a stock option, the shares issued, or allocated and transferred, by the Company to such employee attract FBT.  The employer liability for FBT arises and is expensed by the Company at the time of such employee’s exercise of the stock option.

 

The employer may collect the FBT payable by it in connection with a stock option exercise from the employee exercising the stock option, which the Company currently does. As the amount collected from the employee reduces the employee’s ultimate benefit from such stock option exercise, it is treated similarly to a reset of the terms of the stock option and deemed to increase the exercise price payable by the employee. The FBT recovery by the Company from an employee is recorded as additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

The weighted average exercise price set forth in the table above is based on the contractual exercise price of the stock option and is not affected by the deemed increase in the exercise price resulting from recovery of FBT. However, the weighted average grant date fair value of grants during the period set forth in the table above does reflect such deemed increase in the exercise price.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

 

On May 1, 2008, the Company adopted the Genpact Limited U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Genpact Limited International Employee Stock Purchase Plan (together, the “ESPP”). The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase the Company’s common shares through payroll deductions at 95% of the fair value per share on the last business day of each purchase interval. The dollar amount of common shares purchased under the ESPP shall not exceed the greater of 15% of the participating employee’s base salary or $25 per calendar year. The initial offering period shall commence on October 1, 2008 and shall terminate on the last business day in February 2009. Subsequent offering periods would commence on the first business day in March and September each year, and end on the last business day in August and February each year. 4,200,000 common shares have been reserved for issuance in the aggregate over the term of the ESPP.

 

12. Earnings (loss) per share

 

The Company calculates earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share give effect to the change in the common shares of the Company resulting from the 2007 Reorganization and are therefore based on the retrospective adjustment to the common stock of GGH outstanding prior to the date of the 2007 Reorganization. The exchange of GGL preferred stock for common shares of Genpact Limited was accounted for as a conversion of such preferred stock.  Such conversion has been given effect after the 2007 Reorganization. In the 2007 Reorganization, shareholders of GGH exchanged their common stock of GGH for common shares of Genpact Limited, and the shareholders of GGL exchanged their preferred and common stock of GGL for common shares of Genpact Limited. The GGL preferred stock was entitled to cumulative dividends that were not paid in cash and were accrued and added to the accreted value prior to the date of the 2007 Reorganization.

 

The calculation of earnings (loss) per common share was determined by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. Since the preferred stock was participative in nature, profits of the Company before the 2007 Reorganization continued to be apportioned towards the preferred stockholders in accordance with their entitlement to participate in the undistributed profits. The potentially dilutive shares, consisting of such preferred shares as well as outstanding options on common shares, have been included in the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share and the weighted average shares outstanding, except where the result would be anti-dilutive.

16. Income taxes

 

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No, 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, as interpreted by FIN 18, “Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods”, the effective tax rate reflects the partial expiry of the tax holiday applicable to one of the Company’s Indian subsidiaries on March 31, 2008.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company reassessed the need for a valuation allowance in respect of the deferred tax assets existing at the end of December 2007 and recorded a net valuation allowance of approximately $1,099.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability on unrealized gains on certain effective hedges through consolidated statement of income as a result of the change in tax status of one of its subsidiaries in the U.S. The Company recognized a reversal of deferred tax liability amounting to $6,712 for hedges that have been identified as maturing in the period ended September 30, 2008.

 

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits amounting to $11,898 including an amount of $5,564 that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company reassessed its uncertain tax positions outstanding on December 31, 2007 based on certain favorable rulings obtained from the taxing authorities in India and accordingly has recognized a tax benefit on these tax positions amounting to $5,423, including interest. Of that amount, $2,761 has been recorded in the income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The remaining amount of $2,662 pertains to the tax positions prior to the 2004 Reorganizations which are indemnified by GE and hence do not affect the income tax expense (benefit) of the Company. The Company does not anticipate further significant changes to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the current financial year.

 

The following table summarizes the activities related to our unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions from January 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008:

16. Income taxes (continued)

 

With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax audits by taxing authorities for years prior to 2005. During the first quarter of 2008, the audit of one of the Company’s subsidiaries in Hungary was completed through 2006 without significant impact, and the Company’s subsidiaries in India and China are open to examination by the taxing authorities for fiscal tax years beginning on April 1, 2004, and 2000 respectively. The Company regularly reviews the likelihood of additional tax assessments and adjusts its reserves as additional information or events require.

 

17. Related party transactions

 

The Company has entered into related party transactions with GE, a significant shareholder, and companies in which GE has a majority ownership interest or on which it exercises significant influence (collectively referred to as “GE” herein). The Company has also entered into related party transactions with its non-consolidating affiliates.

 

The related party expenses and income can be categorized as follows:

 

Revenue from services

 

Prior to December 31, 2004, substantially all of the revenues of the Company were derived from services provided to GE entities. In connection with the 2004 Reorganization, GE entered into a Master Service Agreement, or MSA, with the Company. The GE MSA, as amended, provides that GE will purchase services in an amount not less than a minimum volume commitment, or MVC, of $360,000 per year for seven years beginning January 1, 2005, $270,000 in 2012, $180,000 in 2013 and $90,000 in 2014. Revenues in excess of the MVC can be credited, subject to certain limitations, against shortfalls in the subsequent years.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, the Company recognized net revenues from GE of $368,214 and $363,678, respectively, representing 62% and 48%, respectively, of the consolidated total net revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, the Company recognized net revenues from its non-consolidating affiliate of $0 and $177, respectively.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, the Company recognized net revenues from GE of $122,981 and $123,504, respectively, representing 57% and 46%, respectively, of the consolidated total net revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, the Company recognized net revenues from its non-consolidating affiliate of $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Cost of revenue from services

 

The Company purchases certain services from GE mainly relating to communication and leased assets, which are included as part of operational expenses included in cost of revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, cost of revenue included amounts of $4,481 and $1,372, respectively, and for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, cost of revenue included amounts of $1,186 and $(1,621), respectively, relating to services procured from GE.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

The Company purchases certain services from GE mainly relating to communication and leased assets, which are included as part of operational expenses included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, selling, general and administrative expenses included amounts of $465 and $342, respectively, and for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, selling, general and administrative expenses included amounts of $24 and $(11), respectively, relating to services procured from GE. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, selling, general, and administrative expenses also include a cost credit of $77 and $83, respectively, and for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008 include $8 and $19, respectively, in relation to cost recovery from its non-consolidating affiliates.

 

Other operating (income) expense, net

 

The Company provides certain shared services such as facility, recruitment, training, and communication to GE. Recovery for such services has been included as other operating income in the consolidated statements of income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, income from these services was $2,533 and $3,783, respectively, and for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, income from these services was $810 and $1,442, respectively.

The acquisition has been treated as a purchase of net assets and not a business combination under SFAS. No.141 as the acquired entities did not fall under the definition of business as established in EITF No. 98-3, “Determining Whether a Nonmonetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business”.

Overview

 

We are a leader in the globalization of services and technology and a pioneer in managing business processes for companies around the world. We began in 1997 as the India-based captive business process services operation for GE Capital, GE’s financial services business. As the value of offshore outsourcing was demonstrated to the management of GE, it became a widespread practice at GE and our business grew in size and scope. We took on a wide range of complex and critical processes and we became a significant provider to many of GE’s businesses, including Consumer Finance (GE Money), Commercial Finance, Insurance, Healthcare, Industrial, NBC Universal and GE’s corporate offices.

Prior to December 30, 2004, the business of the Company was conducted through various entities and divisions of GE. On December 30, 2004, in a series of transactions we refer to as the “2004 Reorganization,” GE reorganized these operations by placing them all under Genpact Global Holdings, a newly formed Luxembourg entity, and subsequently an affiliate of GE sold an indirect 60% interest in that entity to General Atlantic and Oak Hill. Since the 2004 Reorganization, affiliates of GE have sold a portion of its equity in us pursuant to several separate transactions. As of September 30, 2008, GE (through its affiliates) owned approximately 18.6% of our outstanding equity.

 

Following the 2004 Reorganization, we began operating as an independent company. We separated ourselves operationally from GE and began building the capabilities necessary to be successful as an independent company. Among other things, we expanded our management infrastructure and business development capabilities so that we could secure business from clients other than GE, which we refer to as “Global Clients”. We substantially expanded administrative functions for which we had previously relied primarily on GE, such as finance, legal, accounting and human resources. We created separate employee benefit and retirement plans, developed our own leadership training capability and enhanced our management information systems. We began actively pursuing business from Global Clients as of January 1, 2005.

 

On July 13, 2007, prior to the commencement of our initial public offering, we completed a series of transactions we refer to as the “2007 Reorganization”. See “—the 2007 Reorganization” below. In August 2007, we completed an initial public offering of our common shares, pursuant to which the Company and our selling shareholders sold 22,941,177 and 17,647,059 common shares, respectively, at a price of $14 per share. The offering resulted in gross proceeds of $568.2 million and net proceeds to the Company and the selling shareholders of approximately $303.5 million and $233.5 million, respectively, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. Additionally, we incurred offering-related expenses of approximately $9.0 million.

 

The 2004 Reorganization

 

As noted above, the 2004 Reorganization was consummated on December 30, 2004, pursuant to which we became an independent company. The 2004 Reorganization has been accounted for under the purchase method under SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations”, which resulted in a new basis of accounting. The total purchase consideration was $780 million. The allocation of the total consideration to the fair values of the net assets acquired resulted in goodwill of $485.2 million and intangible assets of $223.5 million. The intangible assets are being amortized over periods ranging from 1 to 10 years. As a result, for periods after December 31, 2004, we have had, and will continue to have, significant non-cash charges related to the amortization of such intangible assets. See notes 1 and 8 to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

 

The 2007 Reorganization

 

Genpact Limited was incorporated in Bermuda on March 29, 2007 as a subsidiary of Genpact Global Holdings Sicar S.à.r.l., or GGH, with the intent of making it the new holding company of our business. On July 13, 2007, Genpact Limited effectuated a transaction that resulted in the shareholders of GGH exchanging their common shares in GGH for common shares of Genpact Limited, and the shareholders of Genpact Global (Lux) S.à.r.l., or GGL, exchanging their preferred and common shares in GGL for common shares of Genpact Limited. As a result, Genpact Limited became the owner of all the capital stock of GGL and GGH.

 

Pursuant to the above transaction, the ownership interests of the shareholders of GGH, including the minority shareholders, were exchanged for shares of Genpact Limited irrespective of whether such shareholders owned equity directly in GGH or indirectly through GGL. Such shareholders acquired the same proportionate economic interest in Genpact Limited as they had in GGH immediately prior to the 2007 Reorganization.

 

The above legal reorganization of GGH and GGL into the Company has been accounted for as a transfer of net assets or exchange of equity interests between entities under common control. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities transferred are recorded at their carrying value in a manner similar to as-if pooling of interest accounting. Since the accounts of these entities were stated at their historical amounts for all periods presented, no adjustments were required for purposes of restating the financial statements on a consolidated basis for the current and the prior periods.

 

As part of the 2007 Reorganization, GGH became a Bermuda company and its name changed to Genpact Global Holdings (Bermuda) Limited. In addition, GGL also became a Bermuda company, in accordance with the laws of Bermuda and Luxembourg and its name changed to Genpact Global (Bermuda) Limited.

 

The effect of the exchange of common shares of the Company in the 2007 Reorganization with the common shares of GGH has been retrospectively applied to stockholders’ equity and per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements. This retrospective application had no material effect on other amounts. The effect of the exchange of preferred shares in the 2007 Reorganization has been applied to stockholders’ equity and per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the 2007 Reorganization.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

For a description of our critical accounting policies, see Note 2-”Summary of significant accounting policies” under Item 1-”Financial Statements” above and Part-II Item-7-”Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Reclassification

 

In order to more clearly reflect our costs, including the impact of our long-term foreign exchange hedging strategy, we have reclassified our foreign exchange gains or losses from a separate line item above income from operations to the underlying hedged items, namely, selling, general and administrative expenses, cost of revenue or net revenues, as applicable.  The residual foreign exchange gains or losses, primarily relating to the re-measurement of foreign currency assets or liabilities, mainly accounts receivable, and the ineffective portion of foreign exchange gains or losses, if any, are now reclassified on the income statement below income from operations as foreign exchange (gains) losses, net.  This reclassification does not affect net income or earnings per share. Our financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2008 reflect such reclassification.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2007

 

Net revenues.    Our net revenues increased by $56.0 million, or 26.1%, in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007. We continue to grow our net revenues primarily through relationships with existing clients.  In addition, our net revenue per employee increased due to a higher volume of more expensive service offerings including re-engineering and increased price. Our revenue per employee increased from $28.1 thousand per employee in the third quarter of 2007 to $31.3 thousand in the third quarter of 2008.

 

We delivered 7% of our net revenues from our European Delivery Centers (other than ICE) in the third quarter of 2008 up from 6% in the third quarter of 2007. This represented an increase of 47% compared to the third quarter of 2007. Our revenue per employee is significantly higher from services delivered out of our European Delivery Centers.

 

Net revenues from GE increased by $0.5 million, or 0.4%. As described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Overview —Classification of Certain Net Revenues” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, certain businesses in which GE ceased to be a 20% shareholder in 2007 were classified as GE net revenues for part of the year until the divesture by GE and as Global Clients net revenues after the divesture by GE. GE revenues for the third quarter of 2008 grew by 5.8% over the third quarter of 2007 after the adjustments for such dispositions by GE. GE net revenues declined as a percentage of our total net revenues from 57.3% in the third quarter of 2007 to 45.6% in the third quarter of 2008, due to growth in revenues from our Global Clients.

 

Net revenues from Global Clients increased by $55.6 million, or 60.6%. This increase resulted from revenues from several clients with which we entered into master service agreements, or MSAs, in 2005, 2006 and 2007. A portion of the increase in net revenues from Global Clients was also related to GE ceasing to be a 20% shareholder in certain businesses and the reclassification of related net revenues as described above. As a percentage of total net revenues, net revenues from Global Clients increased from 42.7% in the third quarter of 2007 to 54.4% in the third quarter of 2008. Excluding revenues from businesses divested by GE in 2007, Global Client revenues increased organically by approximately 61.1%.

 

Revenues from business process services increased to 81% of total net revenues in the third quarter of 2008 from 74% in the third quarter of 2007. Our business process services business grew 37% to $219 million in the third quarter of 2008 primarily due to high growth with several existing clients.  Revenues from our  information technology business declined to 19% of total net revenues in the third quarter of 2008 from 26% in the third quarter of 2007 due to a general slowdown in the information technology sector.

 

Cost of revenue.    The following table sets forth the components of our cost of revenue in absolute amounts and as a percentage of net revenues:

Cost of revenue increased by $33.1 million, or 27.0%. This increase reflected the general growth of our business. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of revenue increased from 57.1% in the third quarter of 2007 to 57.5% in the third quarter of 2008. This increase was primarily due to the increase of the operational expenses partially off-set by internal efficiencies.

 

The largest component of the increase in cost of revenue was personnel expenses, which increased by $19.2 million, or 24.5%. This increase in absolute amount was primarily due to the hiring of new resources to manage growth. We added approximately 4,800 employees during the twelve months ended September 30, 2008, the majority of whom are directly working for our clients and generating revenue. The increase also reflects overall wage inflation. Personnel expenses as a percentage of net revenues marginally decreased from 36.4% in the third quarter of 2007 to 36.0% in the third quarter of 2008.

 

Operational expenses increased by $13.2 million, or 37.3%. The increase was largely due to the addition of new Delivery Centers and the expansion of existing Delivery Centers over the last twelve months in India (Kolkata, Gurgaon, Hyderabad and Mumbai), Poland, Romania, China and the Philippines to support the growth in the business including acquisition of a Delivery Center in Guatemala from GE in the third quarter of 2008. GE uses a portion of the Guatemala Delivery Center for certain of its support functions it manages and operates with its own employees. The income from such services is recorded in other operating income. In addition, we

received a subsidy from the Hungarian government in the third quarter of 2007 which reduced operational expenses. As a percentage of net revenues, operational expenses increased from 16.5% in the third quarter of 2007 to 17.9% in the third quarter of 2008. Depreciation and amortization expenses as a component of cost of revenue increased by $0.7 million to $9.8 million in the third quarter of 2008 primarily due to the opening of new Delivery Centers in the fourth quarter of 2007 and the first nine months of 2008.

 

As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit increased by $22.9 million, or 24.9% and our gross margin slightly decreased from 42.9% in the third quarter of 2007 to 42.5% in the third quarter of 2008.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A expenses, increased by $12.1 million, or 20.6%. This increase reflects general growth in our business. As a percentage of net revenues, SG&A expenses decreased from 27.5% in the third quarter of 2007 to 26.3% in the third quarter of 2008. This was primarily due to a decrease in operational expenses.

 

Personnel expenses increased by $11.1 million, or 30.9%, reflecting the general growth in our business. As a percentage of net revenues, personnel expenses increased from 16.7% in the third quarter of 2007 to 17.3% in the third quarter of 2008 due to a higher charge of $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2007 for share based compensation. In addition, there was a charge of $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2008 for Indian fringe benefit tax on share based compensation, which has generally been recovered from employees and accounted for under shareholders’ equity. The increase in personnel expenses reflects an increase in the number of higher cost senior employees in certain of our internal functions as well as general wage inflation.

 

The operational expenses component of SG&A expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 2.9%. This increase is attributable primarily to general growth in our business partially off-set by a one-time increase in operational expenses in the third quarter of 2007 due to a $1.6 million reserve that was established for loans subject to repurchase in Genpact Mortgage Services. As a percentage of net revenues, such costs decreased from 9.8% in the third quarter of 2007 to 8.0% in the third quarter of 2008 primarily due to more efficient use of employees in internal support functions such as finance, legal and human resources.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses as a component of SG&A expenses increased by $0.5 million to $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2008. This increase in depreciation and amortization expenses reflects the general growth of the business.

 

Amortization of acquired intangibles.    In the third quarter of 2007 and 2008, we continued to incur significant non-cash charges of $9.4 million and $9.0 million, respectively, consisting primarily of the amortization of acquired intangibles resulting from the 2004 Reorganization.

 

Other operating (income) expense, net.     Other operating income, consisting primarily of income from shared services from GE for the use of our Delivery Centers and certain support functions that they manage and operate with their own employees, increased to $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2007 primarily due to addition of a new Delivery Center in Guatemala and expansion in the Philippines. We do not recognize this income as net revenues because it is not currently one of the primary service offerings; however, our costs are included in cost of revenue and SG&A.

 

Income from operations.    Primarily due to the decrease in SG&A expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles as a percentage of net revenue, income from operations increased by $11.8 million to $36.3 million. As a percentage of net revenues, income from operations increased from 11.4% in the third quarter of 2007 to 13.4% in the third quarter of 2008.

 

Foreign exchange (gains) losses, net.    We recorded a foreign exchange gain of $1.6 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to a gain of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2007. This gain primarily relates to the re-measurement of our non-functional currency assets and liabilities resulting from movements in the Indian rupee and US dollar exchange rates in the third quarter of 2008.

Other income (expense), net.    We recorded other income, net of interest expense, of $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to a net expense of $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2007. The change was driven by higher interest income of $2.8 million primarily relating to deposits made from the proceeds of our initial public offering and a decrease in interest expense by $0.7 million primarily due to repayment of a short-term loan in the third quarter of 2007 and repayment of a portion of a long-term loan during the fourth quarter of 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008. In addition, the weighted average rate of interest with respect to outstanding long-term loans under the credit facility was reduced from 6.3% in the third quarter of 2007 to 3.5% in the third quarter of 2008.

 

Income before share of equity in loss of affiliate, minority interest and income taxes.    As a result of the foregoing factors, income before income taxes increased by $16.2 million or from 11.6% of net revenues in the third quarter of 2007 to 15.2% of net revenues in the third quarter of 2008.

 

Equity in (gain) loss of affiliate.    This represents our share of (gain) loss from our non-consolidated affiliate, NGEN Media Services Private Limited, a joint venture with NDTV Networks Plc.

 

Minority interest.    The minority interest is due to the acquisition of E-Transparent B.V. and certain related entities, or ICE, in 2007. It represents the apportionment of profits to the minority partners of ICE. The minority interest decreased from $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2007 to $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2008.

 

Income taxes.    Our income tax expense decreased from $6.5 million in the third quarter of 2007 to $5.7 million for the third quarter of 2008. Our income tax expense included $4.1 million resulting from the application of a Hungarian statutory minimum tax to the operations of our Hungarian branch in the third quarter of 2007, which was not applicable in the third quarter of 2008. In addition to the above, this decrease was attributable to a $2.3 million benefit related to the maturing of certain hedges for which we had recorded a deferred tax liability at U.S. Federal and state tax rates pursuant to the restructuring of our legal entities as of October 1, 2007. These are offset by higher taxes resulting from higher profits including the partial expiration of our tax holiday in India as of March 31, 2008 and taxes on interest income in India.

 

Net income.    As a result of the foregoing factors, net income increased by $17.3 million from $16.3 million in the third quarter of 2007 to $33.6 million in the third quarter of 2008. As a percentage of net revenues, our net income was 7.6% in the third quarter of 2007 and 12.4% in the third quarter of 2008.

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007

 

Net revenues.    Our net revenues increased by $167.4 million, or 28.3%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We continue to grow our net revenues primarily through relationships with existing clients. Net revenues also increased because of the acquisition of ICE in the first quarter of 2007 and Axis in the fourth quarter of 2007. In addition, our net revenue per employee increased to $30.3 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 up from $28.2 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2007 due to increased volumes of more expensive service offerings including re-engineering, increased price and favorable exchange rates for translating non-US dollar revenues to US dollars.

 

We delivered 7% of our net revenues from our European centers (other than ICE) up from 6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This represented an increase of 53% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Our revenue per employee is significantly higher from services delivered out of our European Delivery Centers.

 

Revenues from business process services increased to 80% of total net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from 75% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Our business process services business grew 36% to $603 million in the third quarter of 2008 primarily due to high growth with several existing clients. Revenues from our information technology business declined to 20% of total net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to 25% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 due to a general slowdown in the information technology sector.

 

Net revenues from GE decreased by $4.5 million, or 1.2%. As described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Overview —Classification of Certain Net Revenues” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, certain businesses in which GE ceased to be a 20% shareholder in 2007 were classified as GE net revenues for part of the year until the divesture by GE and as Global Clients net revenues after the divesture by GE. GE revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 grew by 5.6% over the nine months ended September 30, 2007 after the adjustments for such dispositions by GE. GE net revenues declined as a percentage of our total net revenues from 62.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 47.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, due to growth in revenues from our Global Clients.

 

Net revenues from Global Clients increased by $173.4 million, or 78.1%. This increase resulted from revenues from several new clients with which we entered into master service agreements, or MSAs, in 2005, 2006 and 2007. In addition, a portion of the overall

increase (approximately $12.0 million) was attributable to the inclusion of the results of ICE, which we acquired in March 2007 and Axis, which we acquired in December 2007. A portion of the increase in net revenues from Global Clients was also related to GE ceasing to be a 20% shareholder in certain businesses and the reclassification of related net revenues as described above. As a percentage of total net revenues, net revenues from Global Clients increased from 37.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 52.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Excluding revenues from businesses divested by GE in 2007, Global Client revenues increased organically by approximately 71.5%.

Cost of revenue increased by $96.7 million, or 27.5%. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of revenue decreased by 0.4%. The increase in the absolute amount is primarily due to the general growth of our business.

 

The largest component of the increase in cost of revenue was personnel expenses, which increased by $68.4 million, or 32.3%. Such increase reflected the general growth of our business. We added approximately 4,800 employees during the twelve months ended September 30, 2008, the majority of whom are directly working for our clients and generating revenue. The increase also reflects overall wage inflation. Personnel expenses as a percentage of net revenues increased from 35.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 36.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, primarily due to growth in our European business, which has a higher compensation cost as a percentage of revenue compared to other regions.

 

Operational expenses increased by $24.0 million, or 21.1%. The increase was largely due to the addition of new Delivery Centers and the expansion of existing Delivery Centers over the last twelve months in India (Kolkata, Gurgaon, Hyderabad and Mumbai), Poland, Romania, China and the Philippines to support the growth in the business, including the acquisition of a Delivery Center in Guatemala from GE in the third quarter of 2008. In addition, the increase is attributable to the acquisition of ICE in the first quarter of 2007. However, as a percentage of net revenues, operational, expenses decreased from 19.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 18.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses as a component of cost of revenue increased by $4.3 million to $31.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This increase relates to a write-off in the first quarter of 2008 of certain software licenses amounting to $3.3 million that do not have any further useful life, which were subsequently disposed of in the second quarter of 2008, and to the general growth of our businesses. This increase was partially off-set by certain assets related to 2004 Reorganization being fully depreciated in 2007.

 

As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit increased by $70.7 million, or 29.5%, and our gross margin increased from 40.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 40.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A expenses, increased by $40.2 million, or 25.2%. This was primarily due to an increase in operational expenses and depreciation and amortization. This increase reflects general growth in our business. As a percentage of net revenues, SG&A expenses decreased from 27.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 26.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Table of Contents

 

Personnel expenses increased by $22.7 million, or 21.5%. This increase reflects the general growth in our business, higher share based compensation expenses and an increase in the number of higher cost senior employees in certain of our internal functions as well as general wage inflation. As a percentage of net revenues, personnel expenses decreased from 17.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 16.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 primarily due to increased internal efficiencies partially offset by a higher charge of $12.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $8.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 for share based compensation. In addition, there was a charge of $2.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 for the Indian fringe benefit tax on share based compensation, which has generally been recovered from employees and accounted for under shareholders’ equity.

 

The operational expenses component of SG&A expenses increased by $15.0 million, or 31.1%. As a percentage of net revenues, such costs increased from 8.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 8.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. In addition to the general growth in our business, the absolute increase reflected increases in facilities maintenance expenses and communications expenses to support growth, as well as expenses incurred in relation to our annual management and client conference. These increases also included certain professional fees and other expenses related to being a public company.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses as a component of SG&A expenses increased by $2.6 million to $8.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. As a percentage of net revenues, depreciation and amortization expenses increased from 1.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 1.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This increase in depreciation and amortization expenses reflects the general growth of our business.

 

Amortization of acquired intangibles.    In 2008, we continued to incur significant non-cash charges consisting primarily of the amortization of acquired intangibles resulting from the 2004 Reorganization. Such charges increased marginally by $0.8 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007, primarily due to changes in currency exchange rates.

 

 Other operating (income) expense, net.    Other operating income, which primarily consists of income from shared services from GE for the use of our Delivery Centers and certain support functions that they manage and operate with their own employees, decreased by $1.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. We do not recognize this income as net revenues because it is not currently one of the primary service offerings; however, our costs are included in cost of revenue and SG&A. Income from shared services increased by $1.3 million compared to the nine months ended September 2007 due to the acquisition of a Delivery Center in Guatemala from GE and expansion in the Philippines. This increase was off-set by one-time losses of $2.3 million incurred in connection with the sale of certain software licenses and the sale of a facility in Mexico in the second quarter of 2008.

 

Income from operations.    Primarily due to decrease in SG&A expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles as a percentage of net revenue, income from operations increased by $28.6 million to $82.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. As a percentage of net revenues, income from operations increased from 9.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 10.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

 

Foreign exchange (gains) losses, net.    We recorded a foreign exchange gain of $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $1.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This gain primarily relates to the re-measurement of our non-functional currency assets and liabilities in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

 

Other income (expense), net.    We recorded other income, net of interest expense, of $8.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to a net expense of $7.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The change was driven by higher interest income of $10.9 million primarily relating to deposits made from the proceeds of our initial public offering and a decrease in interest expense by $3.8 million on short term loans and $0.7 million on long term loans. This decrease was primarily due to repayment of a short-term loan in the third quarter of 2007 and repayment of a portion of a long-term loan during the fourth quarter of 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008. In addition, the weighted average rate of interest with respect to outstanding long-term loans under the credit facility was reduced from 6.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 4.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

 

Income before share of equity in loss of affiliate, minority interest and income taxes.    As a result of the foregoing factors, income before income taxes increased by $50.5 million or from 8.1% of net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 13.0% of net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

 

Equity in loss of affiliate.    This represents our share of loss from our non-consolidated affiliate, NGEN Media Services Private Limited, a joint venture with NDTV Networks Plc.

 

Minority interest.    The minority interest is due to the acquisition of ICE in March 2007. It represents the apportionment of profits to the minority partners of ICE. Minority interest increased from $5.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $7.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Income taxes.     Our income tax expense decreased from $16.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Our income tax expense included $10.1 million resulting from the application of a Hungarian statutory minimum tax to the operations of our Hungarian branch in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 which is not included in 2008. In addition to the above, this decrease was attributable to (i) a $2.7 million reversal of prior period tax provisions following a favorable ruling from tax authorities in India in the first quarter of 2008 and (ii) a $6.7 million benefit related to the maturing of certain hedges for which we had recorded a deferred tax liability at U.S. Federal and state tax rates pursuant to the restructuring of our legal entities as of October 1, 2007. These are offset by higher taxes resulting from higher profits including the partial expiration of our tax holiday in India as of March 31, 2008 and taxes on interest income in India.

 

Net income.    As a result of the foregoing factors, net income increased by $52.9 million from $25.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $78.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. As a percentage of net revenues, our net income was 4.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 10.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Financial Condition

 

We finance our operations and our expansion with cash from operations and short-term borrowing facilities. We also incurred $180 million of long-term debt to finance in part the 2004 Reorganization.

 

Our shareholders’ equity decreased from $1,250.7 million as of December 31, 2007 to $942.7 million as of September 30, 2008. This primarily relates to a change in the balance sheet exposure on the outstanding derivative financial instruments from an asset of $150.4 million as of December 31, 2007 to a liability of $247.5 million as of September 30, 2008 resulting from the mark to market adjustment required due to depreciation of the Indian rupee and other currencies against the US dollar.

 

Under the terms of the acquisition agreement for ICE, we were obligated to pay contingent consideration in 2009 to the former shareholders of ICE if certain profitability targets were met. In May 2008, as a result of the profitability targets being achieved, we agreed with the sellers of ICE that additional consideration of euro 15.6 million (approximately $21.1 million) would be paid unconditionally on February 16, 2009.

 

We expect that in the future our cash from operations, cash reserves and debt capacity will be sufficient to finance our operations as well as our growth and expansion. Our working capital needs are primarily to finance our payroll expenses in advance of the receipt of accounts receivable. Our capital requirements include the opening of new Delivery Centers, as well as acquisitions.

 

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

Cash flow from operating activities.    Our net cash provided by operating activities increased by $47.7 million from $80.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $128.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This increase was due to an increase in our net income adjusted for amortization and depreciation and other non-cash items, which increased by $53.5 million. This increase was partially offset by an increase in working capital of $5.8 million primarily driven by increase in taxes paid in advance due to increased taxation in India.

 

Cash flow from investing activities.    Our net cash used in investing activities was $37.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $75.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We invested $53.0 million in purchases of property, plant and equipment in connection with the opening of new Delivery Centers, including Guatemala and acquiring land, which is intended to be used for Special Economic Zone, or SEZ, qualifying operations in India, in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $42.8 million the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We paid $15.0 million as partial payment for the acquisition of ICE in March 2007, including acquisition-related expenses and net of cash acquired.

 

Cash flow from financing activities.    Our net cash used by financing activities was $18.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to cash provided of $193.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We repaid $20.1 million of our long term debt as part of our scheduled repayments under our credit arrangement and paid the minority partners of ICE $8.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we received $13.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of common shares to employees to satisfy stock option exercises compared to $1.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. In addition, we had received proceeds from the issuance of common shares in our initial public offering of $303.5 million partly used to repay our short term debt of $83.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

 

Financing Arrangements

 

Total debt excluding capital lease obligations was $104.1 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $123.7 million at December 31, 2007, which represented long-term debt primarily related to the 2004 Reorganization. The weighted average rate of interest with respect to outstanding long-term loans under the credit facility was 6.3% and 4.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

 

We finance our short-term working capital requirements through cash flow from operations and credit facilities from banks and financial institutions. As of September 30, 2008, short-term credit facilities available to the Company aggregated $145 million, which are under the same agreement as our long-term debt facility. As of September 30, 2008, a total of $7.4 million was utilized, which represented unfunded draw down.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Our off-balance sheet arrangements consist of foreign exchange contracts and certain operating leases. For additional information, see the Risk Factor entitled “Currency exchange rate fluctuations in various currencies in which we do business, especially the Indian rupee and the U.S. dollar, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, “—Contractual Obligations” below and note 6 of our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines “fair value”, establishes a framework for the measurement of fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement does not require any new fair value measures but its provisions apply when fair value measurements are performed as required or permitted under other accounting pronouncements. In February 2008, the FASB approved FASB Staff Position No.157-2, “Effective Date of FASB statement No. 157”, which grants a one-year deferral of SFAS No. 157’s fair-value measurement requirements for non-financial assets and liabilities, except for items that are measured or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis. The partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. See note 5 to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for information and related disclosures regarding our fair value measurements.

 

We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. These mainly include derivative instruments and loans held for sale. The derivative instruments primarily consist of forward contracts taken to mitigate the risk of foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets and forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies.

 

The valuation techniques required by SFAS No. 157 are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

 

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

 

Level 3 - Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

 

We maintain policies and procedures to value instruments using the best and most relevant data available. We have constituted a Foreign Exchange Committee which oversees and sets guidelines for our hedging strategy and execution. In addition, our treasury team reviews valuation, including independent price validation for certain instruments and validates the information from multiple independent sources including financial institutions.

 

The following section describes the valuation methodologies we use to measure different financial instruments at fair value:

 

Derivatives

 

We value our derivatives based on market observable inputs including both forward and spot prices for currencies. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent foreign currency forward contracts. The quotes are taken from multiple independent sources including financial institutions.

 

Loans Held for Sale

 

Loans held for sale were $2.4 million as of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2008. We had provisions against loans held for sale of $0.7 million and $1.2 million, resulting in loans held for sale balances of $1.7 million and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2008, respectively. Loans held for sale included in Level 3 primarily represent loans disbursed by the mortgage business we acquired in August 2006. Loans held for sale are valued using collateral values based on inputs from a single source where we are not able to corroborate the inputs and assumptions with other relevant market information.

Table of Contents

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other eligible items at fair value. The issuance of SFAS No. 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement in the preparation of financial statements. However, SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159. The Company has not elected to use fair value measurements under SFAS No. 159 with respect to any existing eligible instruments.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”), which is a revision of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Company will be required to comply with the provisions of SFAS No. 141R for acquisitions made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 141R on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require (i) the ownership interest in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent to be clearly identified and presented in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity, (ii) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, and (iii) changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary to be accounted for consistently. SFAS No. 160 applies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities with a view toward improving the transparency of financial reporting. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged, however does not require comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 161 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS No. 142-3”). FSP FAS No. 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP FAS No. 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FSP FAS No. 142-3 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2008, there were no material changes in our market risk exposure. For a discussion of our market risk associated with foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and credit risk, see Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Item 4T.    Controls and Procedures

 

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

Table of Contents

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Use of Proceeds

 

On August 1, 2007, we commenced an initial public offering of our common shares, pursuant to which the Company and our selling shareholders sold 17,647,059 common shares at a price of $14 per share. On August 14, 2007, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase 5,294,118 additional common shares from the Company at the initial offering price of $14 per share to cover over-allotments. The sales were made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-142875), which was declared effective by the SEC on August 1, 2007. The managing underwriters in the offering were Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. The underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us aggregated $9.0 million, resulting in net proceeds to us of $294.5 million. We did not receive any proceeds from common shares sold by the selling shareholders.

 

We used $98.1 million of the net proceeds from our initial public offering to repay revolving loan indebtedness outstanding under our credit facility. In addition, we used $25.0 million of the net proceeds from our initial public offering to partially repay long term indebtedness outstanding under our credit facility in accordance with the regular payment schedule for such indebtedness. The remaining proceeds are invested in short-term deposit accounts. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) on August 2, 2007.

37



 

denial of any amortization or depreciation deductions, or the reduction of any loss or credit carry forwards) without the prior written consent of the Tax Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, unless the Tax Indemnifying Party agrees to fully indemnify the Tax Indemnified Party and its Affiliates against the Taxes resulting from such settlement.  The Tax Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be informed of the developments with respect to such Tax Claim at any administrative meeting, conference, hearing or other proceeding.

 

c)                                  With respect to any Tax Claim for a Straddle Period, the Party which would bear the burden of the greater portion of the sum of any adjustments shall control such Tax Claim; provided, however, that such controlling Party shall (i) keep the non-controlling Party informed of all developments, (ii) permit the non-controlling Party to participate at its own expense and (iii) not settle or compromise such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the non-controlling Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

d)                                 In the event of a Tax Claim that involves issues (A) relating to a potential adjustment for which the Tax Indemnifying Party has liability and (B) that are required to be dealt with in a proceeding that also involves separate issues that could affect the Taxes of the Tax Indemnified Party, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (x) the Tax Indemnifying Party shall have the right at its expense to control the Tax Claim but only with respect to the former issues and (y) the Tax Indemnified Party shall have the right at its expense to control the Tax Claim but only with respect to the latter issues.

assert any and all defenses available to the Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law; provided that such assumption and control shall not be permitted if (1) the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief, or relief other than monetary damages, against the Indemnified Party, which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines (x) if successful would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party or would otherwise materially impair the Indemnified Party’s ability to conduct its business and (y) after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be readily separated from any related Third Party Claim for monetary damages; (2) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by its outside counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of the defense of such Third Party Claim; (3) taking into account all other bona fide pending claims for indemnification, the Indemnified Parties would not reasonably be expected to be indemnified with respect to any material portion of the Losses arising from such Third Party Claim in the event of an adverse determination; or (4) the Third Party Claim alleges criminal conduct or involves criminal penalties with respect to the Acquired Companies or the then current directors, officers or employees of (x) the Acquired Companies, Buyers or their Affiliates, in the case of Sellers as the Indemnifying Parties or (y) Sellers or their Affiliates, in the case of Buyers as the Indemnifying Party provided, further, that, from the date of any such assumption and control of the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party, regardless of whether it is otherwise required to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim, shall be responsible for the costs and fees of the Indemnifying Party’s attorneys and related litigation expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such Third Party Claim.

 

c)                                     If the Indemnifying Party shall undertake to compromise or defend any such Third Party Claim, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the compromise of, or defense against, any such Third Party Claim.  Such cooperation shall include (1) furnishing and, upon request, procuring the attendance of potential witnesses for interview, preparation, submission of witness statements and the giving of evidence at any related hearing; (2) promptly furnishing documentary evidence to the extent available to it or its Affiliates; and (3) providing access to any other relevant party, including any representatives of the Parties as reasonably needed; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge, or admit any liability with respect to, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless the relief consists solely of money Losses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party and includes a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto.  Notwithstanding an election to assume and control the defense of such action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ

 

42



 

separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action or proceeding, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if the (A) Indemnified Party shall have determined in good faith that an actual or potential conflict of interest makes representation by the same counsel or the counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party inappropriate or (B) Indemnifying Party shall have authorized the Indemnified Party to employ separate counsel at the Indemnifying Party’s expense.  In any event, the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party and their counsel shall cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim subject to this Article XIII and keep such Persons informed of all developments relating to any such Third Party Claims, and provide copies of all relevant correspondence and documentation relating thereto.  All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Indemnified Party’s cooperation shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party.  In any event, the Indemnified Party shall have the right at its own expense to participate in the defense of such asserted liability.

 

d)                                    If the Indemnifying Party, after receiving a written notice that complies with Section 13.4(a) of a Third Party Claim, does not elect to defend such Third Party Claim within 45 days after receipt of such written notice, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have hereunder, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to defend such Third Party Claim (upon providing further written notice to the Indemnifying Party), subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to approve the counsel selected by the Indemnified Party (“Indemnified Party Counsel”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge, or admit any liability with respect to any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless expressly agreed by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party Counsel shall not assume any representation of the Indemnified Party in a dispute between the Parties during the time of its retention as Indemnified Party Counsel.

 

e)                                     If the Indemnified Party wishes to admit liability or agree or compromise in respect of any Third Party Claim it is defending pursuant to d), it must provide a written notification to the Indemnifying Party specifying the course of action proposed by the Indemnified Party to be taken (including the amount of any proposed settlement).  If no reply is received from the Indemnifying Party within 30 days of such written notification being made to it by the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have consented to the course of action proposed by the Indemnified Party to be taken; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not consent, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to agree, to the entry into any settlement that (1) requires an express admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnifying Party or (2) provides for

 

43



 

injunctive or other non-monetary relief affecting the Indemnifying Party in any way.  If the Indemnifying Party provides written notice to the Indemnified Party within the 30-day period that it does not consent to the intended course of action, it shall set out the reasons therefor, as well as the course of action which should be followed in respect of any proposed admission of liability, agreement or compromise with respect to the Third Party Claim.

 

f)                                       If an Indemnified Party otherwise settles a Third Party Claim it is defending pursuant to d) without obtaining the Indemnifying Party’s written consent to such settlement (or waiting the required 30 days), then the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim unless the Indemnified Party demonstrates that (1) it was actually liable to the third party claimant; (2) there was no good defense available; and (3) the settlement amount was reasonable; and if the Indemnified Party does demonstrate the matters listed in the foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3), then any right to indemnification for such Third Party Claim shall be subject to the requirements and limitations of this Article XIII.

 

g)                                    In the event that any Indemnified Party has a claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Article XIII for Losses not involving a Third Party Claim that such Indemnified Party believes gives rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that any delay or failure by the Indemnified Party to give notice to the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure.  Such written notice shall (i) describe such claim in reasonable detail including the facts underlying each particular claim and the specific section(s) of this Agreement pursuant to which indemnification is being sought for each such set of facts, (ii) attach copies of all material written evidence upon which such claim is based (provided that to the extent that such evidence is not reasonably available at such time, the written notice shall instead indicate that the notifying party will, and the notifying party shall, promptly provide such evidence when available); and (iii) set forth the estimated amount of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.

 

Section 13.5           Maximum Indemnification Amount.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall either Sellers’ or Buyers’ obligation to indemnify the other exceed the Purchase Price in the aggregate.

 

Section 13.6           Remedies Exclusive.  Except in cases of fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or as otherwise specifically provided herein, the remedies provided in this Article XIII shall be the exclusive monetary remedies (including equitable remedies that involve monetary payment, such as restitution or disgorgement, other than specific performance to

 

44



 

enforce any payment or performance due hereunder) of the Parties from and after the Closing in connection with any breach of a representation or warranty, or non performance, partial or total, of any covenant or agreement contained herein.

 

Section 13.7           Risk of Loss.  Until the Closing, any loss of or damage to any tangible asset or assets of the Business as a result of fire, casualty, theft or similar occurrence shall be the sole responsibility of Sellers and Sellers shall repair, replace or reimburse Buyer for such asset or assets; provided, that Seller’s liability under this Section 13.7 shall have no effect on the determination of whether or not a Business Material Adverse Effect has occurred or would be reasonably expected to occur.

 

Section 13.8           Characterization of Indemnification Payments. .  Unless otherwise required by Law, any payment made pursuant to this Article XIII shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

 

Section 13.9           Tax Indemnification.  This Article XIII shall not apply to indemnification with respect to Taxes, which is exclusively covered by Article XI.

 

ARTICLE XIV
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

Section 14.1           Assignment.  Neither any of the Sellers nor the Buyers shall assign or transfer any of their rights under this Agreement whether in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other party, except that a Buyer or a Seller may assign this contract to an Affiliate without the other Parties’ consent.

 

Section 14.2           Costs.  Except where this Agreement provides otherwise, each Party shall pay its own costs relating to the negotiation, preparation, execution and performance by it of this Agreement and of each document referred to in it.  The Sellers shall pay all costs and expenses related to the transfer of any Purchased Shares or assets of the Sellers in accordance with applicable law.

Section 14.9                               Informal Dispute Resolution

 

a)                                     The Parties will attempt to informally resolve any and all claims, disputes, demands and/or proceedings regarding and/or in any way arising under this Agreement or in connection with this Agreement or with the Transactions, including the Agreement’s enforcement and/or interpretation (“Disputes”).   Any party to the Dispute may provide written notice to the other party that it desires to submit such Dispute to the applicable Site Leader for resolution, which notice will set forth the subject of the Dispute and the relief requested.  Within a reasonable period (but in no event more than thirty (30) days from the date such notice is received by the other party), the Site Leaders will meet and negotiate in good faith to resolve the Dispute.

 

b)                                    In the event of any Dispute that the Site Leaders are unable to resolve within such thirty (30) day period, any party to the Dispute may provide written notice to the other party thereto that it desires to submit such Dispute to a higher level of management of the other Party for resolution, which notice will set forth the subject of the Dispute and the relief requested.  Within a reasonable period (but in no event more than thirty (30) days from the date such notice is received by the other party), a higher of management of both Parties (the “Executives”) will meet and negotiate in good faith to resolve the Dispute.  If the Executives are unable to

 

47



 

resolve such Dispute within such period, either Party may proceed to arbitration of the Dispute in accordance with Section 14.10 below.

 

Section 14.10         Arbitration of Disputes.

 

a)                                     Any and all Disputes that are not resolved under Section 14.9 above shall be exclusively and finally resolved and decided by binding arbitration, in the City of Miami, Florida, pursuant to the then-applicable arbitration rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”).  The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language, provided that testimony and documents may be submitted in a foreign language accompanied by an English translation.  The arbitral proceedings shall be confidential, and any information disclosed therein shall be treated by the parties as Proprietary Information.  There shall be three (3) arbitrators to be selected in the following manner.  Within 30 days after the date of the notice initiating arbitration, one arbitrator shall be selected by the petitioning party (“Petitioning Party”) and one arbitrator shall be selected by the party defending the arbitration (“Defending Party”), within 30 days thereafter, failing which such arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC pursuant to ICC rules.  The third arbitrator shall be selected by the two arbitrators selected by the Petitioning Party and the Defending Party, or, if such arbitrators cannot agree within 30 days on the third arbitrator, such arbitrator will be selected by the ICC pursuant to ICC rules.

 

b)                                    The decision of the arbitral panel shall be in writing and shall set forth in detail the facts of the Dispute and the reasons for the decision.  Each party accepts and consents to the jurisdiction of the arbitral panel and, solely for purposes of the enforcement of the arbitral award, any court of competent jurisdiction, for itself and in respect of its property, and waives in respect of both itself and its property, any defense it may have as to or based on sovereign immunity, lack of jurisdiction, improper venue or inconvenient forum.  The arbitral award shall be binding on the parties hereto, who hereby waive any appeal of such award.  In the event that the losing party fails or refuses to comply with the arbitral award within 14 days following the date of receipt of notice of the award, then the prevailing party, the arbitrators or their respective attorneys-in-fact may immediately proceed to request the judicial approval necessary for execution before a competent court or before any other court where such party or its assets and properties may be found.  The arbitral panel shall not have the authority to award punitive damages to any injured party.

 

c)                                     Each of the parties irrevocably consents to the service of process, notices or other papers in connection with or in any way arising from the arbitration or the enforcement of any arbitral award, by use of any of the methods and to the addresses set forth for the giving of notices herein. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right of any party to serve such processes, notices or other papers in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

 

48



 

d)                                    At the commencement of the arbitration proceedings, the Petitioning Party and Defending Party shall deposit with the ICC, in equal shares, an amount sufficient to cover all expenses and fees of the ICC and the arbitrators, which amount shall be determined in accordance with the ICC rules.  All of the expenses that arise from the arbitral proceeding as well as the fees of the arbitrators shall be paid by the losing party, if any, as determined by the arbitrators.  Said losing party shall reimburse the prevailing party the amounts deposited by the prevailing party at the commencement of the arbitration or thereafter as required by the arbitrators.  The parties shall each bear the costs and fees of their respective counsel, irrespective of the outcome of the arbitration.

 

Section 14.11         Governing Language.  This Agreement is drawn up in the English language.  If this Agreement is translated into another language, the English language text prevails.  Each notice, demand, request, statement, instrument, certificate or other communication given, delivered or made by a Party to any other Party under or in connection with this Agreement shall be:  (a) in English; or (b) if not in English, accompanied by an English translation made by a translator, and certified by such translator to be accurate. The receiving Party shall be entitled to assume the accuracy of and rely upon any English translation of any document provided pursuant to this section.

 

Section 14.12         No Third Party Beneficiary.  Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights or remedies under this agreement.

 

Section 14.13         Section Headings.  The section and other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 14.14         Litigation; Prevailing Party.  In the event of any litigation with regard to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the non-prevailing party and the non-prevailing party shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the prevailing party.

 

Section 14.15         Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

 

a)                                     THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTING PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO BE APPLIED.

 

b)                                    Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the State Courts of the State of New York sitting in

 

49



 

the Borough of Manhattan or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement to the extent such action or proceeding is not inconsistent with the Parties choice of arbitration above, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  The Parties hereby irrevocably waive to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of forum non conveniens to the maintenance of such action or proceeding.

 

c)                                     EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREUNDER.

 

Section 14.16         Construction.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and neither for nor against any party hereto irrespective of which party caused such provisions to be drafted.  Each of the parties acknowledges that it, he or she has been represented by legal counsel in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement.

 

Section 14.17         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which, taken together constitute one agreement and any Party may enter into this Agreement by executing a counterpart.
