The information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented and includes ~~the financial results~~certain assets and liabilities of ~~Liaison Technologies,~~Dynamic Solutions Group Inc. ~~(Liaison)~~(The Fax Guys), with effect from December ~~17, 2018, and Catalyst Repository Systems~~2, 2019, the financial results of Carbonite, Inc. ~~(Catalyst)~~(Carbonite), with effect from ~~January 31,~~December 24, 2019 and the financial results of XMedius with effect from March 9, 2020 (see note 1819 "Acquisitions").

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In particular, ~~more material~~key estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) accounting for income taxes, (iii) testing of goodwill for impairment, ~~(iii)~~(iv) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, ~~(iv)~~(v) the valuation of long-lived assets, ~~(v)~~(vi) the recognition of contingencies, ~~(vi)~~(vii) restructuring accruals, ~~(vii)~~(viii) acquisition accruals and pre-acquisition contingencies, ~~(viii)~~(ix) the realization of investment tax credits, ~~(ix)~~(x) the valuation of stock options granted and obligations related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plans, ~~(x)~~and (xi) the valuation of pension ~~assets~~obligations.

On March 3, 2020, COVID-19 was characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The spread of COVID-19 has significantly impacted the global economy. We will continue to monitor the potential impact of COVID-19 on our financial statements and ~~obligations,~~related disclosures, including the need for additional estimates going forward, which could include costs related to potential items such as special charges, restructurings, asset impairments and ~~(xi) accounting for income taxes.~~other non-recurring costs. As of March 31, 2020, we have not recorded any estimated amounts with respect to COVID-19 in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Please also see "Risk Factors" included within Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

~~Revenue Recognition~~Leases

Effective July 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606) using the cumulative effect approach. We applied the standard to contracts that were not completed as of the date of the initial adoption. Results for reporting periods commencing on July 1, 2018 are presented under the new revenue standard, while prior period results continue to be reported under the previous standard. As a result of this adoption, we recorded a net increase of approximately $30 million to retained earnings as of July 1, 2018 on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the following corresponding impacts:

~~A decrease to deferred revenues of approximately $31 million;~~

~~A decrease to other assets of approximately $22 million in connection with lower deferred implementation costs;~~

~~An increase to other assets of approximately $14 million in connection with higher capitalized sales commission costs;~~

~~An increase in contract assets of approximately $18 million representing future billings in excess of revenues; and~~

~~An increase in net deferred tax liabilities of approximately $11 million.~~

~~Please refer to Note 3 "Revenues" for additional information relating to Topic 606, including our updated revenue recognition policies.~~

Additionally, certain prior period balances have been reclassified within other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, to conform to the current period presentation as a result of this adoption. Please refer to Note 8 "Other Assets" for details.

~~Income Taxes~~

~~Effective July 1, 2018,~~2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. ~~2016-16, "Income Taxes~~2016-02 “Leases (Topic ~~740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory" (ASU 2016-16) which requires entities to recognize~~842)” (Topic 842) using the ~~income tax consequence of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. We adopted ASU 2016-16 on a~~ modified retrospective ~~basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. Results~~transition approach. In accordance with this adoption method, results for reporting periods ~~effective~~ as of July 1, ~~2018~~2019 are presented under the new standard, while prior period results continue to be reported under the previous standard. Additionally, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within Topic 842, which allowed us to (i) carry forward the historical lease classification for any expired or existing leases, (ii) not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and (iii) not reassess any initial direct cost for existing leases. We did not elect the practical expedient of hindsight when determining the lease term of existing contracts at the effective date. As a result of this adoption, we recorded ~~a net decrease of approximately $27 million to retained earnings~~the following adjustments as of July 1, ~~2018~~2019 on the ~~Condensed~~ Consolidated Balance ~~Sheets, with the following corresponding impacts:~~Sheets:

~~A decrease to deferred charges~~

An increase in operating lease right of use assets of approximately ~~$38~~$217.5 million;

A decrease ~~to deferred credits~~in total accrued liabilities of approximately ~~$3 million.~~$42.8 million in connection with tenant allowances, deferred rent, lease fair value adjustments, and amounts payable in respect of restructured facilities.

~~There was~~The adoption of Topic 842 had no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, or Condensed Consolidated ~~Statements of Cash Flows as a result of this adoption.~~

~~Restricted Cash~~

Effective July 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (ASU 2016-18), which requires amounts described as restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts in the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-18 using the retrospective method. As a result, certain prior period comparative figures in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been adjusted to conform to current period presentation as follows:

There was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as a result of this adoption.

~~Pension Expense~~

Effective July 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2017-07, “Retirement Benefits - Presentation of Net Period Pension Costs (Topic 715)” (ASU 2017-07), which provides guidance on the capitalization, presentation and disclosure of net benefit costs related to postretirement benefit plans. Upon adoption, only service-related net periodic pension costs will be recorded within operating expense. All other non-service related net periodic pension costs will be classified under "Interest and other related expense" on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. We adopted ASU 2017-07 on a retrospective basis. As a

result, certain prior period comparative figures in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 have been adjusted to conform to current period presentation as follows:

NOTE 2—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in Fiscal 2020

During Fiscal 2020, we have adopted the following ASUs, in addition to those discussed in note 1 "Basis of Presentation". The ASUs listed below did not have a material impact to our reported financial position, results of operations or cash flows:

ASU No. 2017-12 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (ASU 2017-12)

ASU No. 2018-15 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract”

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Retirement Benefits

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2018-14 “Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans - General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” (ASU 2018-14), which modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension plans and other post retirement plans. ASU 2018-14 is effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, ~~2022.~~2021. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2018-14 on our consolidated financial statements.

~~Leases~~Financial Instruments

In ~~February~~June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. ~~2016-02 “Leases~~2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic ~~842)~~326)” and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance under ASU ~~2017-13,~~2018-19, ASU ~~2018-10,~~2019-04, ASU ~~2018-11~~2019-05, ASU 2019-11, and ASU ~~2018-20~~2020-02 (collectively Topic ~~842)~~326). Topic ~~842 supersedes~~326 requires the ~~guidance in former ASC Topic 840 “Leases”. Topic 842 requires companies to generally recognize on the balance sheet operating~~measurement and ~~financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets. For OpenText, the most significant change will result in the~~ recognition of ~~lease~~expected credit losses for financial assets ~~for~~held at amortized cost. This replaces the ~~right~~existing incurred loss model with an expected loss model and requires the use of forward-looking information to use the underlying asset and lease liabilities for the obligation to make lease payments by lessees, for those leases classified as operating leases under current guidance. The new guidance will also require significant additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows related to leases.calculate credit loss estimates.

We expect to adopt Topic 842 using this optional transition method. Upon adoption, we also expect to elect the transition package of permitted practical expedients, which among other things, allows the carryforward of the historical lease classification. Furthermore, upon adoption, we expect to make an accounting policy election that will keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off our Consolidated Balance Sheets and we will recognize these short-term lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

~~While we~~ are ~~still~~ currently evaluating Topic 326, including its potential impact to our process and controls. We believe the ~~impact of our pending adoption of Topic 842~~effect on our consolidated financial statements ~~we expect~~will largely depend on the ~~majority~~composition and credit quality of ~~the impact of adopting Topic 842 to come from~~ our ~~facility leases, and that most of our~~

NOTE 3—REVENUES

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), we account for a customer contract when we obtain written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including the payment terms, are identified, the contract has commercial substance and consideration is probable of collection. Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of a promised product or service is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for our products and services (at its transaction price). Estimates of variable consideration and the determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based on readily available information, which may include historical, current and forecasted information, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and specific facts and circumstances of each arrangement.

We report revenue net of any revenue-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue producing transactions.

We have ~~four~~4 revenue streams: license, cloud services and subscriptions, customer support, and professional service and other.

License revenue

Our license revenue can be broadly categorized as perpetual licenses, term licenses and subscription licenses, all of which are deployed on the customer’s premises (on-premise).

Perpetual licenses: We sell perpetual licenses which provide customers the right to use software for an indefinite period of time in exchange for a one-time license fee, which is generally paid at contract inception. Our perpetual licenses provide a right to use intellectual property (IP) that is functional in nature and have significant stand-alone functionality. Accordingly, for perpetual licenses of functional IP, revenue is recognized at the point-in-time when control has been transferred to the customer, which normally occurs once software activation keys have been made available for download.

Term licenses and Subscription licenses: We sell both term and subscription licenses which provide customers the right to use software for a specified period in exchange for a fee, which may be paid at contract inception or paid in installments over the period of the contract. Like perpetual licenses, both our term licenses and subscription licenses are functional IP that have significant stand-alone functionality. Accordingly, for both term and subscription licenses, revenue is recognized at the point-in-time when the customer is able to use and benefit from the software, which is normally once software activation keys have been made available for download at the commencement of the term.

Cloud services and subscriptions revenue

Cloud services and subscriptions revenue are from hosting arrangements where in connection with the licensing of software, the end user ~~doesn’t~~does not take possession of the software, as well as from end-to-end fully outsourced business-to-business (B2B) integration solutions to our customers (collectively referred to as cloud arrangements). The software application resides on our hardware or that of a third party, and the customer accesses and uses the software on an as-needed ~~basis via an identified line.~~basis. Our cloud arrangements can be broadly categorized as "platform as a service" (PaaS), "software as a service" (SaaS), cloud subscriptions and managed services.

PaaS/ SaaS/ Cloud Subscriptions (collectively referred to here as cloud-based solutions): We offer cloud-based solutions that provide customers the right to access our software through the internet. Our cloud-based solutions represent a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. These services are made available to the customer continuously throughout the contractual period, however, the extent to which the customer uses the services may vary at the customer’s discretion. The payment for cloud-based solutions may be received either at inception of the arrangement, or over the term of the arrangement.

These cloud-based solutions are considered to have a single performance obligation where the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit, and as such we recognize revenue for these cloud-based solutions ratably over the term of the contractual agreement. For example, revenue related to cloud-based solutions that are provided on a usage basis, such as the number of users, is recognized based on a customer’s utilization of the services in a given period.

Additionally, a software license is present in a cloud-based solutions arrangement if all of the following criteria are met:

(i) The customer has the contractual right to take possession of the software at any time without significant penalty; and

(ii) It is feasible for the customer to host the software independent of us.

In these cases where a software license is present in a cloud-based solutions arrangement it is assessed to determine if it is distinct from the cloud-based solutions arrangement. The revenue allocated to the distinct software license would be recognized at the point in time the software license is transferred to the customer, whereas the revenue allocated to the hosting performance obligation would be recognized ratably on a monthly basis over the contractual term unless evidence suggests that revenue is earned, or obligations are fulfilled in a different pattern over the contractual term of the arrangement.

Managed services: We provide comprehensive B2B process outsourcing services for all day-to-day operations of a customers’ B2B integration program. Customers using these managed services are not permitted to take possession of our software and the contract is for a defined period, where customers pay a monthly or quarterly fee. Our performance obligation is satisfied as we provide services of operating and managing a customer's electronic data interchange (EDI) environment. Revenue relating to these services is recognized using an output method based on the expected level of service we will provide over the term of the contract.

In connection with cloud subscription and managed service contracts, we often agree to perform a variety of services before the customer goes live, such as for example, converting and migrating customer data, building interfaces and providing training. These services are considered an outsourced suite of professional services which can involve certain project-based activities. These services can be provided at the initiation of a contract, during the implementation or on an ongoing basis as part of the customer life cycle. These services can be charged separately on a fixed fee or time and materials basis, or the costs associated may be recovered as part of the ongoing cloud subscription or managed services fee. These outsourced professional services are considered to be distinct from the ongoing hosting services and represent a separate performance obligation within our cloud subscription or managed services arrangements. The obligation to provide outsourced professional services is satisfied over time, with the customer simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits as we satisfy our performance obligations. For outsourced professional services, we recognize revenue by measuring progress toward the satisfaction of our performance obligation. Progress for services that are contracted for a fixed price is generally measured based on hours incurred as a portion of total estimated hours. As a practical expedient, when we invoice a customer at an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance to date, we recognize revenue at that amount.

Customer support revenue

Customer support revenue is associated with perpetual, term license and on-premise subscription arrangements. As customer support is not critical to the customer's ability to derive benefit from its right to use our software, customer support is considered as a distinct performance obligation when sold together in a bundled arrangement along with the software.

Customer support consists primarily of technical support and the provision of unspecified updates and upgrades on a when-and-if-available basis. Customer support for perpetual licenses is renewable, generally on an annual basis, at the option of the customer. Customer support for term and subscription licenses is renewable concurrently with such licenses for the same duration of time. Payments for customer support are generally made at the inception of the contract term or in installments over the term of the maintenance period. Our customer support team is ready to provide these maintenance services, as needed, to the customer during the contract term. As the elements of customer support are delivered concurrently and have the same pattern of transfer, customer support is accounted for as a single performance obligation. The customer benefits evenly throughout the contract period from the guarantee that the customer support resources and personnel will be available to them, and that any unspecified upgrades or unspecified future products developed by us will be made available. Revenue for customer support is recognized ratably over the contract period based on the start and end dates of the maintenance term, in line with how we believe services are provided.

Professional service and other revenue

Our professional services, when offered along with software licenses, consists primarily of technical services and training services. Technical services may include installation, customization, implementation or consulting services. Training services may include access to online modules or delivering a training package customized to the customer’s needs. At the customer’s discretion, we may offer one, all, or a mix of these services. Payment for professional services is generally a fixed fee or is a fee based on time and materials.

Professional services can be arranged in the same contract as the software license or in a separate contract.

As our professional services do not significantly change the functionality of the license and our customers can benefit from our professional services on their own or together with other readily available resources, we consider professional services as distinct within the context of the contract.

Professional service revenue is recognized over time so long as: (i) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as we perform them, (ii) our performance creates or enhances an asset the customer controls as we perform, and (iii) our performance does not create an asset with alternative use and we have enforceable right to payment.

If all of the above criteria are met, we use an input-based measure of progress for recognizing professional service revenue. For example we may consider total labor hours incurred compared to total expected labor hours. As a practical expedient, when we invoice a customer at an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance to date, we will recognize revenue at that amount.

Material rights

To the extent that we grant our customer an option to acquire additional products or services in one of our arrangements, we will account for the option as a distinct performance obligation in the contract only if the option provides a material right to the customer that the customer would not receive without entering into the contract. For example if we give the customer an option to acquire additional goods or services in the future at a price that is significantly lower than the current price, this would be a material right as it allows the customer to, in effect, pay in advance for the option to purchase future products or services.

If a material right exists in one of our contracts then revenue allocated to the option is deferred and we would recognize revenue only when those future products or services are transferred or when the option expires.

Based on history, our contracts do not typically contain material rights and when they do, the material right is not significant to our consolidated financial statements.

Arrangements with multiple performance obligations

Our contracts generally contain more than one of the products and services listed above. Determining whether goods and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or as a single performance obligation may require ~~significant~~ judgment, specifically when assessing whether both of the following two criteria are met:

the customer can benefit from the product or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer; and

our promise to transfer the product or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.

If these criteria are not met, we determine an appropriate measure of progress based on the nature of our overall promise for the single performance obligation.

If these criteria are met, each product or service is separately accounted for as a distinct performance obligation and the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price (SSP) basis.

Standalone selling price

The SSP reflects the price we would charge for a specific product or service if it was sold separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. In most cases we are able to establish the SSP based on observable data. We typically establish a narrow SSP range for our products and services and assess this range on a periodic basis or when material changes in facts and circumstances warrant a review.

If the SSP is not directly observable, then we estimate the amount using either the expected cost plus a margin or residual approach. Estimating SSP requires judgment that could impact the amount and timing of revenue recognized. SSP is a formal process whereby management considers multiple factors including, but not limited to, geographic or regional specific factors, competitive positioning, internal costs, profit objectives, and pricing practices.

Transaction Price Allocation

In bundled arrangements, where we have more than one distinct performance obligation, we must allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative SSP. However, in certain bundled arrangements, the SSP may not always be directly observable. For instance, in bundled arrangements with license and customer support, we allocate the transaction price between the license and customer support performance obligations using the residual approach because we have determined that the SSP for ~~certain goods and services~~licenses in these arrangements are highly variable. We use the residual approach only for our license arrangements. When the SSP is observable but contractual pricing does not fall within our established SSP range, then an adjustment is required and we will allocate the transaction price between license and customer support at a constant ratio reflecting the mid-point of the established SSP range.

When two or more contracts are entered into at or near the same time with the same customer, we evaluate the facts and circumstances associated with the negotiation of those contracts. Where the contracts are negotiated as a package, we will account for them as a single arrangement and allocate the consideration for the combined contracts among the performance obligations accordingly.

Sales to resellers

We execute certain sales contracts through resellers, distributors and channel partners (collectively referred to as resellers). For these type of agreements, we assess whether we are considered the principal or the agent in the arrangement. We consider factors such as, but not limited to, whether or not the reseller has the ability to set the price for which they sell our software products to end users and whether or not resellers distribution rights are limited such that any potential sales are subject to OpenText’s review and approval before delivery of the software product can be made. If we determine that we are the principal in the arrangement, then revenue is recognized based on the transaction price for the sale of the software product to the end user at the gross amount. If that is not known, then the net amount received from the reseller is the transaction price. If we determine that we are the agent in the agreement, then revenue is recognized based on the transaction price for the sale of the software product to the reseller, less any applicable commissions paid or discounts or rebates, if offered. Costs or commissions paid to the reseller would be recognized as a reduction of revenue unless we received a distinct good or service in return. Similarly, any discounts or rebates offered by the reseller would be recognized as a reduction of revenue.

Typically, we conclude that we are the principal in our reseller agreements, as we have control over the service and products prior to being transferred to the end customer.

We also assess the creditworthiness of each reseller and if they are newly formed, undercapitalized or in financial difficulty, we defer any revenues expected to emanate from such reseller and recognize revenue only when cash is received, and all other revenue recognition criteria under Topic 606 are met.

Rights of return and other incentives

We do not generally offer rights of return or any other incentives such as concessions, product rotation, or price protection and, therefore, do not provide for or make estimates of rights of return and similar incentives. InHowever, we do offer consumers who purchase certain of our products on-line directly from us an unconditional full 70-days money-back guarantee. Distributors and resellers are also permitted to return the consumer products, subject to certain limitations. Revenue is reduced for such rights based on the estimate of future returns originating from contractual agreements with these customers.

Additionally, in some contracts, however, discounts may be offered to the customer for future software purchases and other additional products or services. Such arrangements grant the customer an option to acquire additional goods or services in the future at a discount and therefore are evaluated under guidance related to “material rights” as discussed above.

Other policies

Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days of the invoice date. In certain arrangements, we will receive payment from a customer either before or after the performance obligation to which the invoice relates has been satisfied. As a practical expedient, we do not account for significant financing components if the period between when we transfer the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for the product or service will be one year or less. On that basis, our contracts for license and maintenance typically do not contain a significant financing component, however, in determining the transaction price we consider whether we need to adjust the promised consideration for the effects of the time value of money if the timing of payments provides either the customer or OpenText with a significant benefit of financing. Our managed services contracts may not include an upfront charge for outsourced professional services performed as part of an implementation and are recovered through an ongoing fee. Therefore, these contracts may be expected to have a financing component associated with revenue being recognized in advance of billings.

We may modify contracts to offer customers additional products or services. The additional products and services will be considered distinct from those products or services transferred to the customer before the modification and will be accounted for as a separate contract. We evaluate whether the price for the additional products and services reflects the SSP adjusted as appropriate for facts and circumstances applicable to that contract. In determining whether an adjustment is appropriate, we evaluate whether the incremental consideration is consistent with the prices previously paid by the customer or similar customers.

Certain of our subscription services and product support arrangements generally contain performance response time guarantees. For subscription services arrangements, we estimate variable consideration using a portfolio approach because performance penalties are tied to standard response time requirements. For product support arrangements, we estimate variable consideration on a contract basis because such arrangements are customer-specific. For both subscription services and product support arrangements, we use an expected value approach to estimate variable consideration based on historical business practices and current and future performance expectations to determine the likelihood of incurring penalties.

Performance Obligations

A summary of our typical performance obligations and when the obligations are satisfied are as follows:



Performance Obligation	When Performance Obligation is Typically Satisfied
License revenue:
Software licenses (Perpetual,Term, Subscription)	When software activation keys have been made available for download (point in time)
Cloud services and subscriptions revenue:
Outsourced Professional Services	As the services are provided (over time)
Managed Services / Ongoing Hosting / SaaS	Over the contract term, beginning on the date that service is made available (i.e. "Go live") to the customer (over time)
Customer support revenue:
When and if available updates and upgrades and technical support	Ratable over the course of the service term (over time)
Professional service and other revenue:
Professional services	As the services are provided (over time)

Contract Balances

A contract asset will be recorded if we have recognized revenue but do not have an unconditional right to the related consideration from the customer. For example, this will be the case if implementation services offered in a cloud arrangement are identified as a separate performance obligation and are provided to a customer prior to us being able to bill the customer. In addition, a contract asset may arise in relation to subscription licenses if the license revenue that is recognized upfront exceeds

the amount that we are able to invoice the customer at that time. When we perform services, such as during the design and build phase of a service contract, the right to consideration is typically subject to milestone completion or customer acceptance and the unbilled accounts receivable are classified as a contract asset. Contract assets are reclassified to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional.

The balance for our contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e. deferred revenues) for the periods indicated below were as follows:


	As of March 31, 2019		As of July 1, 2018		As of March 31, 2020		As of June 30, 2019
Short-term contract assets	$	19,737	$	5,474	$	27,057	$	20,956
Long-term contract assets	$	15,794	$	12,382	$	14,225	$	15,386
Short-term deferred revenue	$	664,208	$	618,197	$	819,273	$	641,656
Long-term deferred revenue	$	50,905	$	64,743	$	92,341	$	46,974

The difference in the opening and closing balances of our contract assets and deferred revenues primarily results from the timing difference between our performance and the customer’s payments. We fulfill our obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products and services in exchange for consideration from the customer. During the nine months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we reclassified ~~$11.2~~$23.5 million of contract assets to receivables as a result of the right to the transaction consideration becoming unconditional. During the three and nine months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, there was ~~no material~~0 significant impairment loss recognized related to contract assets.

We recognize deferred revenue when we have received consideration or an amount of consideration is due from the customer for future obligations to transfer products or services. Our deferred revenues primarily relate to customer support agreements which have been paid for by customers prior to the performance of those services. The amount of revenue that was recognized during the nine months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 that was included in the deferred revenue balances at ~~July 1, 2018~~June 30, 2019 was approximately ~~$576~~$591 million.

Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract with a Customer

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract include only those costs that we incur to obtain a contract that we would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained, such as sales commissions. We have determined that certain of our commission programs meet the requirements to be capitalized. Some commission programs are not subject to capitalization as the commission expense is paid and recognized as the related revenue is recognized. In assessing costs to obtain a contract, we apply a practical expedient that allows us to assess our incremental costs on a portfolio of contracts with similar characteristics instead of assessing the incremental costs on each individual contract. We do not expect the financial statement effects of applying this practical expedient to the portfolio of contracts to be materially different than if we were to apply the new standard to each individual contract.

We pay commissions on the sale of new customer contracts as well as for renewals of existing contracts to the extent the renewals generate incremental revenue. Commissions paid on renewal contracts are limited to the incremental new revenue and therefore these payments are not commensurate with the commission paid on the original sale. We allocate commission costs to the performance obligations in an arrangement consistent with the allocation of the transaction price. Commissions allocated to the license performance obligation are expensed at the time the license revenue is recognized. Commissions allocated to professional service performance obligations are expensed as incurred, as these contracts are generally for one year or less and we apply a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred if the amortization period would have been one year or less. ~~Commission~~Commissions allocated to maintenance, managed services, on-going hosting arrangements or other recurring services, are capitalized and amortized consistent with the pattern of transfer to the customer of the services over the period expected to benefit from the commission payment. As commissions paid on renewals are not commensurate with the original sale, the period of benefit considers anticipated renewals. The benefit period is estimated to be approximately six years which is based on our customer contracts and the estimated life of our technology.

Expenses for incremental costs associated with obtaining a contract are recorded within sales and marketing expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Our short term capitalized costs to obtain a contract are included in "Prepaid expenses and other assets", while our long-term capitalized costs to obtain a contract are included in "Other assets" on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table summarizes the changes in total capitalized costs since ~~July 1, 2018:~~June 30, 2019:


Capitalized costs to obtain a contract as of July 1, 2018	$	35,151
Capitalized costs to obtain a contract as of June 30, 2019				$	48,284
New capitalized costs incurred	16,157			19,207
Amortization of capitalized costs	(6,843		)	(12,106		)
Adjustments on account of foreign exchange	(169		)	(1,357		)
Capitalized costs to obtain a contract as of March 31, 2019	$	44,296
Capitalized costs to obtain a contract as of March 31, 2020				$	54,028

During the three and nine months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, there was ~~no material~~0 significant impairment loss recognized in relation to costs capitalized.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, approximately ~~$1.1~~$1.3 billion of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations on existing contracts. We expect to recognize approximately ~~40%~~50% of this amount over the next 12 months and the remaining balance thereafter. We apply the practical expedient and do not disclose performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

The adjustment on license revenue for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 of $17.3 million and $35.5 million, respectively, is primarily due to new contracts entered into during Fiscal 2019 for which a timing difference of revenue recognition exists between Topic 606 and Topic 605. See above for an explanation of how license revenues are recognized under Topic 606. The Fiscal 2019 contracts pertaining to the respective adjustments are recognized up front under Topic 606, whereas such revenues would have been recognized over time under Topic 605.

NOTE 6—LEASES

We enter into operating leases, both domestically and internationally, for certain facilities, automobiles, data centers and equipment for use in the ordinary course of business. The duration of the majority of these leases generally range from 1 to 10 years, some of which include options to extend for an additional 3 to 5 years after the initial term. Additionally, the land upon which our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada is located, is leased from the University of Waterloo for a period of 49 years beginning in December 2005, with an option to renew for an additional term of 49 years. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and we do not have any material finance leases.

We account for a contract as a lease when we have the right to direct the use of the asset for a period of time while obtaining substantially all of the asset’s economic benefits. We determine the initial classification and measurement of our right of use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter if modified.

ROU assets represent our right to control the underlying assets under lease, and the lease liability is our obligation to make the lease payments related to the underlying assets under lease, over the contractual term. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the present value of future minimum lease payments to be made over the lease term. When available, we will use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value. However, real estate leases generally do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments. We estimate our incremental borrowing rate based on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, in an economic environment where the leased asset is located.

The ROU asset equals the lease liability, adjusted for any initial direct costs, prepaid rent and lease incentives. Fixed lease costs are included in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease costs are not included in the measurement of the lease liability. These variable lease payments are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Consistent with previous lease accounting rules under ASC Topic 840, lease expense for minimum lease payments continue to be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We have not elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components in the determination of lease costs for our facility leases. For all other asset classes, we have elected the practical expedient to combine the lease and the non-lease components. The lease liability includes lease payments related to options to extend or renew the lease term only if we are reasonably certain we will exercise those options. Our leases typically do not contain any material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

In certain circumstances, we sublease all or a portion of a leased facility, to various other companies through a sublease agreement.

Deposits and restricted cash primarily relate to security deposits provided to landlords in accordance with facility lease agreements and cash restricted per the terms of certain contractual-based agreements.

Deferred implementation costs relate to direct and relevant costs on implementation of long-term contracts, to the extent such costs can be recovered through guaranteed contract revenues. As a result of the adoption of Topic 606, deferred implementation costs are no longer capitalized, but rather expensed as incurred as these costs do not relate to future performance obligations. Accordingly, these costs were adjusted through opening retained earnings as of July 1, 2018.

Capitalized costs to obtain a contract relate to incremental costs of obtaining a contract, such as sales commissions, which are eligible for capitalization on contracts to the extent that such costs are expected to be ~~recovered.~~recovered (see note 3 "Revenues").

Investments relate to certain ~~non-marketable equity securities~~investment funds in which we are a limited partner. Our interests in each of these investees range from 4% to below 20%. These investments are accounted for using the equity method. Our share of net

income or losses based on our interest in these investments is recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of ~~Income.~~Income (see note 21 "Other income (expense), net"). During the three and nine months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, our share of income (loss) from these investments was ~~$2.8~~approximately $4.5 million and ~~$10.7~~$6.5 million, respectively, (three and nine months ended March 31, ~~2018 —$(0.3)~~2019 — $2.8 million and ~~$(0.5)~~$10.7 million, respectively).

On December 20, 2016, we issued an additional $250 million in aggregate principal amount by reopening our Senior Notes 2026 at an issue price of 102.75%. The additional notes have identical terms, are fungible with and are a part of a single series with the previously issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes 2026. The outstanding aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes 2026, after taking into consideration the additional issuance, is $850 million.

Senior Notes 2023

On January 15, 2015, we issued $800 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (Senior Notes 2023) in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to certain persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

A portion of the proceeds from the offerings of Senior Notes 2028 and Senior Notes 2030 was used to redeem Senior Notes 2023. Upon redemption, Senior Notes 2023 were cancelled and any obligation thereunder was extinguished. The resulting loss of $17.9 million has been recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. See note 21 "Other income (Expense), net".

For the three and nine months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we recorded interest expense of ~~$11.2~~$8.1 million and ~~$33.7~~$30.6 million, respectively, relating to Senior Notes 2023 (three and nine months ended March 31, ~~2018—$11.2~~2019— $11.2 million and $33.7 million, respectively).

Notes due 2022

Following our acquisition of Carbonite (see note 19 "Acquisitions"), our consolidated debt reflected $143.8 million of principal debt convertible notes (Notes due 2022). Notes due 2022 were originally issued by Carbonite, on April 4, 2017, in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Notes due 2022 were issued under an Indenture (the 2022 Notes Indenture) between Carbonite and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the 2022 Notes Trustee). The Notes due 2022 accrued interest at 2.5% per year, which was payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The Notes due 2022 were to mature on April 1, 2022, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Carbonite, now a subsidiary of OpenText, was the sole obligor on the Notes due 2022.

In connection with our acquisition of Carbonite, and as required by the 2022 Notes Indenture, Carbonite and the 2022 Notes Trustee entered into a first supplemental indenture, dated as of December 24, 2019 (the 2022 Notes Supplemental Indenture). The 2022 Notes Supplemental Indenture provides that, at and after the effective time of our acquisition of Carbonite, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes due 2022 was changed into the right to convert such principal amount of the Notes due 2022 solely into cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate (as defined in the 2022 Notes Indenture) in effect on the Conversion Date (as defined in the 2022 Notes Indenture) multiplied by $23.00, which was the price per share we paid in connection with our acquisition of Carbonite.

As a result of our acquisition of Carbonite, the Conversion Rate for the Notes due 2022 was temporarily increased by 7.7633 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes due 2022 to yield a Conversion Rate of 46.4667 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes due 2022. The increased Conversion Rate was in effect until the close of business (5:00 P.M. New York City time) on February 27, 2020. As of February 27, 2020, all Notes due 2022 had been surrendered and converted at a rate of $1,068.7341 in cash for each $1,000 principal amount. As of March 31, 2020, all Notes due 2022 have been fully settled in cash and there are 0 remaining Notes due 2022 outstanding.

Term Loan B

On May 30, 2018, we refinanced our existing term loan facility, by entering into a new $1 billion term loan facility (Term Loan B), whereby we borrowed $1 billion on that day and repaid in full the loans under our prior $800 million term loan facility originally entered into on January 16, 2014. Borrowings under Term Loan B are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets on a pari passu basis with the Revolver (defined below).

Term Loan B has a seven year term, maturing in May 2025, and repayments made under Term Loan B are equal to 0.25% of the principal amount in equal quarterly installments for the life of Term Loan B, with the remainder due at maturity. Borrowings under Term Loan B currently bear a floating rate of interest equal to 1.75% plus LIBOR. As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the outstanding balance on the Term Loan B bears an interest rate of approximately ~~4.24%~~3.35%.

Under Term Loan B, we must maintain a “consolidated net leverage” ratio of no more than 4:1 at the end of each financial quarter. Consolidated net leverage ratio is defined for this purpose as the proportion of our total debt reduced by unrestricted cash, including guarantees and letters of credit, over our trailing twelve months net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges. As of March 31, 2020, our consolidated net leverage ratio was 2.3:1.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we recorded interest expense of ~~$10.5~~$8.5 million and ~~$30.6~~$27.6 million, respectively, relating to Term Loan B (three and nine months ended March 31, ~~2018—~~2019—$~~6.9~~10.5 million and ~~$19.7 million, respectively)~~$30.6 million).

Revolver

~~We currently have a $450 million~~On October 31, 2019, we amended our committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver) ~~with a~~to increase the total commitments under the Revolver from $450 million to $750 million as well as to extend the maturity ~~date of~~from May 5, ~~2022.~~2022 to October 31, 2024. Borrowings under the Revolver are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets, on a pari passu basis with Term Loan B. The Revolver has no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest per annum at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a fixed margin dependent on our consolidated net leverage ratio ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding balance on the Revolver bears an interest rate of approximately 2.50%.

Under the Revolver, we must maintain a “consolidated net leverage” ratio of no more than 4:1 at the end of each financial quarter. As of March 31, 2020, our consolidated net leverage ratio was 2.3:1.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2020, we drew down $750 million from the Revolver to partially fund the acquisition of Carbonite. In February 2020, we repaid $750 million drawn under the Revolver with a portion of the use of proceeds from the Senior Notes 2030 and Senior Notes 2028. In March 2020, we drew down $600 million from the Revolver as a preemptive measure in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. The proceeds from the $600 million draw down are presented within cash and cash equivalents and within the current portion of long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2020.

As of March 31, 2020, we have outstanding borrowings of $600 million under the Revolver (June 30, 2019—nil) and $150 million remains available to be drawn.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded interest expense relating to amounts drawn of approximately $3.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2019, we ~~have no~~had 0 outstanding balance on the Revolver. There was no activity during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and we recorded no0 interest expense.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, we drew down nil and $200 million, respectively, from the Revolver, partially to finance acquisitions. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, we also repaid $100 million, respectively, and recorded interest expense of $2.7 million and $7.3 million, respectively, relating to amounts drawn on the Revolver.

Debt Issuance Costs and Premium on Senior Notes

Debt issuance costs relate primarily to costs incurred for the purpose of obtaining our credit facilities and issuing our Senior Notes ~~2023~~2026, Senior Notes 2028 and Senior Notes ~~2026~~2030 (collectively referred to as the Senior Notes) and are being amortized over the respective terms of the Senior Notes and Term Loan B and the Revolver using the effective interest method.

The premium on Senior Notes 2026 represents the excess of the proceeds received over the face value of Senior Notes 2026. This premium is amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the term of Senior Notes 2026 using the effective interest method.

Defined Benefit Plans

CDT Plan

CDT sponsors an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all CDT employees (CDT plan) which provides for old age, disability and survivors’ benefits. Benefits under the CDT plan are generally based on age at retirement, years of service and the employee’s annual earnings. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. NoNaN contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan's active employees. As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, there is approximately $0.2 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the CDT plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remainder of Fiscal ~~2019.~~2020.

GXS GER Plan

As part of our acquisition of GXS Group, Inc. (GXS) in Fiscal 2014, we assumed an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering certain German employees which provides for old age, disability and survivors' benefits. The GXS GER plan has been closed to new participants since 2006. Benefits under the GXS GER plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, date of hire, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. NoNaN contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan’s active employees. As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, there is approximately ~~$0.03~~$0.1 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the GXS GER plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remainder of Fiscal ~~2019.~~2020.

GXS PHP Plan

As part of our acquisition of GXS in Fiscal 2014, we assumed a primarily unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of the GXS Philippines employees which provides for retirement, disability and survivors' benefits. Benefits under the GXS PHP plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. Aside from an initial contribution which has a fair value of approximately $0.03 million as of March 31, ~~2019, no~~2020, 0 additional contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan’s active employees. As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, there is approximately $0.1 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the GXS PHP plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remainder of Fiscal ~~2019.~~

Other Plans

Other plans include defined benefit pension plans that are offered by certain of our foreign subsidiaries. Many of these plans were assumed through our acquisitions or are required by local regulatory requirements. These other plans are primarily unfunded, with the aggregate projected benefit obligation included in our pension liability. The net periodic costs of these plans are determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs.

The exercise price of all our options is set at an amount that is not less than the closing price of our Common Shares on the NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable grant date.

A summary of activity under our stock option plans for the nine months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 is as follows:

We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or, where appropriate, the Monte Carlo Valuation Method, consistent with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation" (Topic 718) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The option-pricing models require input of subjective assumptions, including the estimated life of the option and the expected volatility of the underlying stock over the estimated

life of the option. We use historical volatility as a basis for projecting the expected volatility of the underlying stock and estimate the expected life of our stock options based upon historical data.

We believe that the valuation techniques and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair value of our stock option grants. Estimates of fair value are not intended, however, to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards.

For the periods indicated, the weighted-average fair value of options and weighted-average assumptions were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,						Nine Months Ended March 31,						Three Months Ended March 31,						Nine Months Ended March 31,

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the total compensation cost related to the unvested stock option awards not yet recognized was approximately ~~$21.5~~$30.3 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately ~~2.7~~3.0 years.

NoNaN cash was used by us to settle equity instruments granted under share-based compensation arrangements in any of the periods presented.

We have ~~not~~0t capitalized any share-based compensation costs as part of the cost of an asset in any of the periods presented.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, cash in the amount of $23.4 million and $34.8 million, respectively, was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, cash in the amount of $11.6 million and $25.8 million, respectively, was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, cash in the amount of $30.5 million and $50.1 million, respectively, was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

We incentivize ~~our executive officers,~~certain eligible employees, in part, with long-term compensation pursuant to our LTIP. The LTIP is a rolling three year program that grants eligible employees a certain number of target Performance Share Units (PSUs) and/or Restricted Share Units (RSUs). Target PSUs become vested upon the achievement of certain financial and/or operational performance criteria (the Performance Conditions) that are determined at the time of the grant. Target RSUs become vested when an eligible employee remains employed throughout the vesting period.

PSUs and RSUs granted under the LTIPs have been measured at fair value as of the effective date, consistent with Topic 718, and will be charged to share-based compensation expense over the remaining life of the plan. Stock options granted under the LTIPs have been measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, consistent with Topic 718. We estimate the fair value of PSUs using the Monte Carlo pricing model and RSUs have been valued based upon their grant date fair value.

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the total expected compensation cost related to the unvested LTIP awards not yet recognized was ~~$16.4~~$21.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

LTIP grants that have recently vested, or have yet to vest, are described below. LTIP grants are referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q based upon the year in which the grants are expected to vest.

The DSUs were issued under our Deferred Share Unit Plan. DSUs granted as compensation for director fees vest immediately, whereas all other DSUs granted vest at our next annual general meeting following the granting of the DSUs. No DSUs are payable by us until the director ceases to be a member of the Board.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, we issued 51,794 Common Shares from treasury stock, respectively, with a cost of $2.0 million, respectively, in connection with the settlement of vested DSUs (three and nine months ended March 31, 2018—nil DSUs, respectively).

Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP)

Guarantees and Indemnifications

We have entered into customer agreements which may include provisions to indemnify our customers against third party claims that our software products or services infringe certain third party intellectual property rights and for liabilities related to a breach of our confidentiality obligations. We have not made any material payments in relation to such indemnification provisions and have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Occasionally, we enter into financial guarantees with third parties in the ordinary course of our business, including, among others, guarantees relating to taxes and letters of credit on behalf of parties with whom we conduct business. Such agreements have not had a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Litigation

We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.

Quarterly, we review the status of each significant legal matter and evaluate such matters to determine how they should be treated for accounting and disclosure purposes in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450-20 "Loss Contingencies" (Topic 450-20). Specifically, this evaluation process includes the centralized tracking and itemization of the status of all our disputes and litigation items, discussing the nature of any litigation and claim, including any dispute or claim that is reasonably likely to result in litigation, with relevant internal and external counsel, and assessing the progress of each matter in light of its merits and our experience with similar proceedings under similar circumstances.

If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with Topic 450-20. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the aggregate of such ~~estimated losses~~accrued liabilities was not material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations and we do not believe as of the date of this filing that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding the amounts already recognized will be incurred that would be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations. As described more fully below, we are unable at this time to estimate a possible loss or range of losses in respect of certain disclosed matters.

Contingencies

IRS Matter

As we have previously disclosed, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is examining certain of our tax returns for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 (Fiscal 2010) through our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 (Fiscal 2012), and in connection with those examinations is reviewing our internal reorganization in Fiscal 2010 to consolidate certain intellectual property ownership in Luxembourg and Canada and our integration of certain acquisitions into the resulting structure. We also previously disclosed that the examinations may lead to proposed adjustments to our taxes that may be material, individually or in the aggregate, and that we have not recorded any material accruals for any such potential adjustments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We previously disclosed that, as part of these examinations, on July 17, 2015 we received from the IRS an initial Notice of Proposed Adjustment (NOPA) in draft form, that, as revised by the IRS on July 11, 2018 proposes a one-time approximately $335 million increase to our U.S. federal taxes arising from the reorganization in Fiscal 2010 (the 2010 NOPA), plus penalties equal to 20% of the additional proposed taxes for Fiscal 2010, and interest at the applicable statutory rate published by the IRS.

On July 11, 2018, we also received, consistent with previously disclosed expectations, a draft NOPA proposing a one time approximately $80 million increase to our U.S. federal taxes for Fiscal 2012 (the 2012 NOPA) arising from the integration of Global 360 Holding Corp. into the structure that resulted from the internal reorganization in Fiscal 2010, plus penalties equal to 40% of the additional proposed taxes for Fiscal 2012, and interest.

On January 7, 2019, we received from the IRS official notification of proposed adjustments to our taxable income for Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2012, together with the 2010 NOPA and 2012 NOPA in final form. In each case, such documentation was as expected and on substantially the same terms as provided for in the previously disclosed respective draft NOPAs, with the exception of an additional proposed penalty as part of the 2012 NOPA.

A NOPA is an IRS position and does not impose an obligation to pay tax. We continue to strongly disagree with the IRS’ positions within the NOPAs and we are vigorously contesting the proposed adjustments to our taxable income, along with any proposed penalties and interest.

As of our receipt of the final 2010 NOPA and 2012 NOPA, our estimated potential aggregate liability, as proposed by the IRS, including additional state income taxes plus penalties and interest that may be due, was approximately $770 million, comprised of approximately $455 million in U.S. federal and state taxes, approximately $130 million of penalties, and approximately $185 million of interest. Interest will continue to accrue at the applicable statutory rates until the matter is resolved and may be substantial.

As previously disclosed and noted above, we strongly disagree with the IRS’ positions and we are vigorously contesting the proposed adjustments to our taxable income, along with the proposed penalties and interest. We are examining various alternatives available to taxpayers to contest the proposed adjustments, including through IRS Appeals and U.S. Federal court. Any such alternatives could involve a lengthy process and result in the incurrence of significant expenses. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not recorded any material accruals in respect of these examinations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. An adverse outcome of these tax examinations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

For additional information regarding the history of this IRS matter, please see Note 13 "Guarantees and Contingencies" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2018.

CRA Matter

As part of its ongoing audit of our Canadian tax returns, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has disputed our transfer pricing methodology used for certain intercompany transactions with our international subsidiaries and has issued notices of reassessment for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal ~~2013.~~2014. Assuming the utilization of available tax attributes (further described below), we estimate our potential aggregate liability, as of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, in connection with the CRA's reassessments for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal ~~2013~~2014 to be limited to penalties and interest that may be due of approximately ~~$23~~$25 million.

The notices of reassessment for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal ~~2013~~2014 would, as drafted, increase our taxable income by approximately $90 million to $100 million for each of those years, as well as impose a 10% penalty on the proposed adjustment to income.

We strongly disagree with the CRA's positions and believe the reassessments of Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal ~~2013~~2014 (including any penalties) are without merit. We have filed notices of objection for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal ~~2013,~~2014, and we are currently seeking competent authority consideration under applicable international treaties in respect of these reassessments.

Even if we are unsuccessful in challenging the CRA's reassessments to increase our taxable income for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal ~~2013,~~2014, or potential reassessments that may be proposed for subsequent years currently under audit, we have elective deductions available for those years (including carry-backs from later years) that would offset such increased amounts so that no additional cash tax would be payable, exclusive of any assessed penalties and interest, as described above.

We will continue to vigorously contest the proposed adjustments to our taxable income and any penalty and interest assessments. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not recorded any accruals in respect of these reassessments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Audits by the CRA of our tax returns for fiscal years prior to Fiscal 2012 have been completed with no reassessment of our income tax liability in respect of our international transactions, including the transfer pricing methodology applied to them. The CRA is currently auditing Fiscal ~~2014~~2015, Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal ~~2015~~2017 and ~~has~~have proposed to reassess ~~such years~~Fiscal 2015 in a manner consistent with Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal ~~2013.~~2014. We are engaged in ongoing discussions with the CRA and continue to vigorously contest the CRA's audit positions.

~~GXS Brazil Matter~~

As previously disclosed and in connection with the intercompany charges between GXS Group, Inc. and its subsidiary, GXS Tecnologia da Informação (Brasil) Ltda., based on the historical transfer pricing studies, approximately $1.5 million accrued in relation to this matter became statute barred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and accordingly was released as a recovery under "Special charges".

GXS India Matter

Our Indian subsidiary, GXS India Technology Centre Private Limited (GXS India), is subject to potential assessments by Indian tax authorities in the city of Bangalore. GXS India has received assessment orders from the Indian tax authorities alleging that the transfer price applied to intercompany transactions was not appropriate. Based on advice from our tax advisors, we believe that the facts that the Indian tax authorities are using to support their assessment are incorrect. We have filed appeals and anticipate an eventual settlement with the Indian tax authorities. We have accrued ~~$1.3~~$1.2 million to cover our anticipated financial exposure in this matter.

Carbonite Class Action Complaint

On August 1, 2019, prior to our acquisition of Carbonite, a purported stockholder of Carbonite filed a putative class action complaint against Carbonite, its former Chief Executive Officer, Mohamad S. Ali, and its former Chief Financial Officer, Anthony Folger, in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts captioned Ruben A. Luna, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Carbonite, Inc., Mohamad S. Ali, and Anthony Folger (No. 1:19-cv-11662-LTS). The complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint generally alleges that the defendants made materially false and misleading statements in connection with Carbonite’s Server Backup VM Edition, and seeks, among other things, the designation of the action as a class action, an award of unspecified compensatory damages, costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees, and other relief as the court deems appropriate. On August 23, 2019, a nearly identical complaint was filed in the same court captioned William Feng, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Carbonite, Inc., Mohamad S. Ali, and Anthony Folger (No. 1:19- cv-11808-LTS) (together with the Luna Complaint, the “Securities Actions”). On November 21, 2019, the court consolidated the Securities Actions, appointed a lead plaintiff, and designated a lead counsel. On January 15, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint generally making the same allegations and seeking the same relief as the complaint filed on August 1, 2019. The defendants moved to dismiss the Securities Actions on March 10, 2020. The lead counsel's opposition is currently due May 4, 2020. In light of, among other things, the early stage of the litigation, we are unable to predict the outcome of this action and are unable to reasonably estimate the amount or range of loss, if any, that could result from this proceeding.

Carbonite vs Realtime Data

On February 27, 2017, prior to our acquisition of Carbonite, a non-practicing entity named Realtime Data LLC (Realtime Data) filed a lawsuit against Carbonite in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas "Realtime Data LLC v. Carbonite, Inc. et al (No 6:17-cv-00121-RWS-JDL)", alleging that certain of Carbonite’s cloud storage services infringe upon certain patents held by Realtime Data. Realtime Data’s complaint against Carbonite sought damages in an unspecified amount and injunctive relief. On December 19, 2017, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas transferred the case to the U.S District Court for the District of Massachusetts (No. 1:17-cv-12499). Realtime Data has also filed numerous other patent suits on the asserted patents against other companies around the country. In one of those suits, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, the Delaware Court on July 29, 2019 dismissed the lawsuit after declaring invalid three of the four patents asserted by Realtime Data against Carbonite. By way of Order dated August 19, 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts stayed the action against Carbonite pending appeal of the dismissal in the Delaware lawsuit. As to the fourth patent, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office Patent Trial and Appeal Board on September 24, 2019 invalidated certain claims of that patent. No trial date has been set in the action against Carbonite. The Company is defending Carbonite vigorously. We have not accrued a loss contingency related to this matter because litigation related to a non-practicing entity is inherently unpredictable. Although a loss is reasonably possible, an unfavorable outcome is not considered by management to be probable at this time and we remain unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of loss associated with this litigation.

Please also see "Risk Factors" included within Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal ~~2018.~~2019.

NOTE ~~14—~~15—INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate represents the net effect of the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions that are subject to a wide range of income tax rates.

The effective tax rate decreased to a provision of 25.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to a provision of 30.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in tax expense of $23.7 million was primarily due to (i) a decrease of $20.0 million relating to lower net income including the impact of foreign rates, (ii) a decrease of $9.0 million from tax rate differential in tax years applicable to United States loss carryforwards that became eligible for carryback under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act enacted in the third quarter of Fiscal 2020, and (iii)

a decrease of $7.9 million related to tax costs of internal reorganizations that did not recur in Fiscal 2020. These were partially offset by (i) an increase of $4.8 million related to the US Base Erosion Anti-avoidance Tax (US BEAT), (ii) an increase in tax filings in excess of estimates of $3.0 million, (iii) a decrease in tax credits for research and development of $2.9 million resulting from filings in excess of estimates in Fiscal 2019 that did not recur in Fiscal 2020 and (iv) an increase in accruals for repatriations from foreign subsidiaries of $1.7 million. The remainder of the difference was due to normal course movements and non-material items.

The effective tax rate decreased to a provision of 27.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, compared to a provision of 31.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. Tax expense decreased by $19.8 million primarily due to (i) a decrease of $21.5 million in reserves for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from clarifications provided by tax regulations and taxation years becoming statute barred, (ii) a decrease of $15.8 million relating to the tax impact of internal reorganizations of subsidiaries that did not recur in Fiscal 2020, (iii) a decrease of $9.0 million from tax rate differential in tax years applicable to United States loss carryforwards that became eligible for carryback under the CARES Act enacted in the third quarter of Fiscal 2020, (iv) a decrease in net income taxed at foreign rates of $8.3 million, and (v) an increase in tax credits for research and development of $2.9 million. These were partially offset by (i) an increase of $16.6 million relating to a one-time reversal of accruals for repatriations from subsidiaries in the United States in Fiscal 2019 that did not recur in Fiscal 2020, (ii) an increase in tax filings in excess of estimates of $10.4 million, and (iii) the impact of US BEAT of $9.9 million. The remainder of the difference was due to normal course movements and non-material items.

We recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, we recognized the following amounts as income tax-related interest expense and penalties:



	Three Months Ended March 31,				Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Interest expense (recoveries)	$	2,814	$	2,823	$	4,048	$	7,430
Penalties expense (recoveries)	100		9		175		568
Total	$	2,914	$	2,832	$	4,223	$	7,998

Three Months Ended March 31, Nine Months Ended March 31,
2019 2018 2019 2018
Interest expense $ 2,823
$ 18
$ 7,430
$ 3,915
Penalties expense (recoveries) 9
453
568
(90 )
Total $ 2,832
$ 471
$ 7,998
$ 3,825

The following amounts have been accrued on account of income tax-related interest expense and penalties:


	As of March 31, 2019		As of June 30, 2018		As of March 31, 2020		As of June 30, 2019
Interest expense accrued *	$	61,397	$	54,058	$	68,707	$	64,530
Penalties accrued *	$	2,579	$	2,438	$	2,580	$	2,525

* These balances ~~have been~~are primarily included within "Long-term income taxes payable" within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We believe that it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits, as of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, could decrease tax expense in the next 12 months by ~~$13.7~~$9.3 million, relating primarily to the expiration of competent authority relief and tax years becoming statute barred for purposes of future tax examinations by local taxing jurisdictions.

Our four most significant tax jurisdictions are Canada, the United States, Luxembourg and Germany. Our tax filings remain subject to audits by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. The earliest fiscal years open for examination are 2012 for Germany, 2010 for the United States, 2012 for Luxembourg, and 2012 for Canada.

We are subject to tax audits in all major taxing jurisdictions in which we operate and currently have tax audits open in Canada, the United States, ~~France,~~ Germany, India, the United Kingdom, Italy and ~~Belgium.~~Japan. On a quarterly basis we assess the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse outcomes to determine the adequacy of the provision for income and other taxes. Statements regarding the United States and Canada audits are included in note 1314 "Guarantees and Contingencies".

The timing of the resolution of income tax audits is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities or possibly reach resolution of income tax audits in one or more jurisdictions. These assessments or settlements may or may not result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on tax filings. The actual amount of any change could vary significantly depending on the ultimate timing and nature of any settlements. We cannot currently provide an estimate of the range of possible outcomes. For more information relating to certain tax audits, please refer to note 1314 "Guarantees and Contingencies".

As at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we have ~~provided $15.1~~recognized a provision of $21.7 million (June 30, ~~2018—~~2019—$~~28.5~~17.4 million) in respect of both additional foreign taxes or deferred income tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the undistributed earnings of

certain non-United States subsidiaries and planned periodic repatriations from certain German subsidiaries, that will be subject to withholding taxes upon distribution. ~~During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, we reversed previous accruals~~

related to the undistributed earnings of our United States subsidiaries in the amount of nil and $14.8 million, respectively. These earnings are now considered to be permanently reinvested in the United States, as there is no expectation of future distributions of earnings in the foreseeable future. We have not provided for additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities related to undistributed earnings of all other non-Canadian subsidiaries, since such earnings are considered permanently invested in those subsidiaries or are not subject to withholding taxes. It is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amount of additional deferred income tax liabilities or foreign withholding taxes that may be payable should these earnings be distributed in the future.

The effective tax rate increased to a provision of 30.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 25.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in tax expense of $12.4 million was primarily due to an increase of $7.6 million arising from increased net income taxed at foreign tax rates, an increase of $3.1 million arising on the introduction of the United States Base Erosion Avoidance Tax (“BEAT”) in Fiscal 2019, and an increase of $8.0 million relating to the tax impact of internal reorganizations of subsidiaries in Fiscal 2018, partially offset by the Fiscal 2018 impact of United States tax reform of $5.1 million which did not recur in Fiscal 2019. The remainder of the difference was due to normal course movements and non-material items.

The effective tax rate decreased to a provision of 31.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 35.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in tax expense of $2.0 million was primarily due to the reversal of accruals for undistributed United States earnings of $14.8 million, and the Fiscal 2018 impact of United States tax reform of $15.9 million which did not recur in Fiscal 2019, partially offset by an increase of $16.1 million arising on the introduction of BEAT in Fiscal 2019, and an increase of $16.3 million relating to the tax impact of internal reorganizations of subsidiaries. The remainder of the difference was due to normal course movements and non-material items.

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which significantly changed the existing US tax laws, including a reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, and the transition of US international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a partially territorial tax system. As a result of the enactment of the legislation, the Company incurred a one-time tax expense of $19.0 million in the year ended June 30, 2018, primarily related to the transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings and the re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, there was a reduction of nil and $0.9 million, respectively, to this amount, mainly attributable to evaluating the portion of our existing Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) credit carryforwards expected to be refundable as a result of the repeal of corporate AMT. The portion of the tax expense attributable to the transition tax is payable over a period of up to eight years.

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 “Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (SAB 118), the Company completed its analysis of the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act by December 22, 2018. The Company's final determination of the total one-time tax expense as a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is $18.1 million.

NOTE ~~15—~~16—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (Topic 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and addresses disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value, in this context, should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including our own credit risk.

In addition to defining fair value and addressing disclosure requirements, Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

Level 1—inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following types of instruments as of March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and June 30, ~~2018:~~2019:


	March 31, 2019								June 30, 2018								March 31, 2020								June 30, 2019

Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of the derivative instruments, the counterparty to which has high credit ratings, were derived from pricing models including discounted cash flow techniques, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data, as no quoted market prices exist for these instruments. Our discounted cash flow techniques use observable market inputs, such as, where applicable, foreign currency spot and forward rates.

Our cash and cash equivalents, along with our accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances, are measured and recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at an amount that approximates their fair value (a Level 2 measurement) due to their short maturities.

If applicable, we will recognize transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the actual event or change in circumstance occurs. During the three and nine months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, we did not have any transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the three and nine months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, no indications of impairment were identified and therefore no fair value measurements were required.

NOTE ~~16—~~17—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We are engaged in hedging programs with various banks to limit the potential foreign exchange fluctuations incurred on future cash flows relating to a portion of our Canadian dollar payroll expenses. We operate internationally and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business, in particular to changes in the Canadian dollar on account of large costs that are incurred from our centralized Canadian operations, which are denominated in Canadian dollars. As part of our risk management strategy, we use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge portions of our payroll exposure with typical maturities of between one and twelve months. We do not use foreign currency forward contracts for speculative purposes.

We have designated these transactions as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions under ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (Topic 815). As the critical terms of the hedging instrument and of the entire hedged forecasted transaction are the same, in accordance with Topic 815, we have been able to conclude that changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged are expected to completely offset at inception and on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, quarterly unrealized gains or losses on the effective portion of these forward contracts have been included within other comprehensive income. The fair value of the contracts, as of March 31, ~~2019~~2020, is recorded within "Accounts payable and accrued ~~liabilities”~~liabilities".

As of March 31, ~~2019~~,2020, the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was ~~$58.6~~$63.2 million (June 30, ~~2018~~2019—$~~47.1~~62.0 million).

Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan

During Fiscal 2020, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan), including in connection with our acquisitions of Carbonite and XMedius, to take further steps to improve our operational efficiency. The Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan charges relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations. These charges require management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

As of March 31, 2020, we expect total costs to be incurred in connection with the Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan to be approximately $26 million to $34 million, of which approximately $5.9 million has been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending restructuring liability, which is included within "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 is shown below.

NOTE ~~18—~~19—ACQUISITIONS

Fiscal ~~2019~~2020 Acquisitions

~~Catalyst Repository Systems Inc.~~Acquisition of XMedius

On ~~January 31, 2019,~~March 9, 2020, we acquired all of the equity interest in ~~Catalyst~~XMedius for approximately ~~$70.8~~$73.3 million in an all cash transaction. ~~Catalyst~~XMedius is a ~~leading~~ provider of ~~eDiscovery that designs, develops~~secure information exchange and ~~supports market-leading cloud eDiscovery software.~~unified communication solutions. In accordance with ASC Topic 805 "Business Combinations" (Topic 805), this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. We believe ~~this~~the acquisition ~~complements~~will complement our Customer Experience Management (CEM) and ~~extends our Enterprise Information Management (EIM) portfolio.~~Business Network (BN) platforms.

The results of operations of this acquisition have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning ~~January 31, 2019.~~March 9, 2020.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their preliminary fair values as of March 9, 2020, are set forth below:



Current assets	$	8,433
Non-current tangible assets	3,792
Intangible customer assets	35,910
Intangible technology assets	11,143
Liabilities assumed	(35,842		)
Total identifiable net assets	23,436
Goodwill	49,899
Net assets acquired	$	73,335

The goodwill of approximately $49.9 million is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. Of this goodwill, approximately $0.1 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Included in total identifiable net assets is acquired deferred revenue with a fair value of $18.5 million, which represents our estimate of the fair value of the contractual obligations assumed based on a valuation. In arriving at this fair value, we reduced the acquired company’s original carrying value by approximately $2.7 million.

The fair value of current assets acquired includes accounts receivable with a fair value of $6.5 million. The gross amount receivable was $6.7 million, of which $0.2 million is expected to be uncollectible.

Acquisition-related costs for XMedius included in "Special charges (recoveries)" in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 were $0.8 million, respectively.

The finalization of the above purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the valuation of fair value for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including intangible assets and taxation-related balances as well as for potential unrecorded liabilities. We expect to finalize this determination on or before our quarter ending March 31, 2021.

Since the date of acquisition, the acquisition had no significant impact on revenues and net earnings for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because they are not material to our consolidated results of operations.

Acquisition of Carbonite

On December 24, 2019, we acquired all of the equity interest in Carbonite, a leading provider of cloud-based subscription backup, disaster recovery and endpoint security to small and medium-sized businesses (SMB), consumers, and a wide variety of partners. Total consideration for Carbonite was approximately $1.4 billion paid in cash (inclusive of cash acquired) and inclusive of approximately $0.1 billion, relating to the cash settlement of pre-acquisition stock compensation that was previously accrued but since paid as of March 31, 2020. In accordance with ASC Topic 805, this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. We believe the acquisition will increase our position in the data protection and endpoint security space, further strengthen our cloud capabilities and open a new route to connect with customers through Carbonite's marquee SMB and consumer channels and products.

The results of operations of Carbonite have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning December 24, 2019.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their preliminary fair values as of December 24, 2019, are set forth below:



Current assets (inclusive of cash acquired of $62.9 million)	$	129,779
Non-current tangible assets (inclusive of restricted cash acquired of $2.4 million)	102,936
Intangible customer assets	549,000
Intangible technology assets	291,000
Liabilities assumed	(570,656		)
Total identifiable net assets	502,059
Goodwill	868,365
Net assets acquired	$	1,370,424

The goodwill of approximately $868.4 million is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. Of this goodwill, approximately $6.9 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Included in total identifiable net assets is acquired deferred revenue with a fair value of approximately $171.0 million, which represents our estimate of the fair value of the contractual obligations assumed. In arriving at this fair value, we reduced the acquired company’s original carrying value by approximately $74.7 million.

The fair value of current assets acquired includes accounts receivable with a fair value of $45.7 million. The gross amount receivable was $47.1 million of which $1.4 million of this receivable was expected to be uncollectible.

Acquisition-related costs for Carbonite included in "Special charges (recoveries)" in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 were $1.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively.

NOTE ~~21—~~23—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Our procedure regarding the approval of any related party transaction requires that the material facts of such transaction be reviewed by the independent members of the Audit Committee and the transaction be approved by a majority of the independent members of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews all transactions in which we are, or will be, a participant and any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest in the transaction. In determining whether to approve a related party transaction, the Audit Committee generally takes into account, among other facts it deems appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; the extent and nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction; the benefits to the Company of the proposed transaction; if applicable, the effects on a director’s independence; and if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable services or products.

During the nine months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, Mr. Stephen Sadler, a ~~director,~~member of the Board of Directors, earned approximately $~~0.6~~0.7 million (nine months ended March 31, ~~2018 —$0.8~~2019—$0.6 million) in consulting fees from OpenText for assistance with acquisition-related business activities.

COVID-19 Restructuring Plan

On March 3, 2020, COVID-19 was characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The spread of COVID-19 has significantly impacted the global economy and is expected to adversely impact our operational and financial performance. The extent of the adverse impact of the pandemic on the global economy and markets will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the measures taken to limit the spread of the virus and, in part, on the size and effectiveness of the compensating measures taken by governments. We are closely monitoring the potential effects and impact on our operations, businesses and financial performance, including liquidity and capital usage, though the extent of the impact is difficult to fully predict at this time due to the rapid evolution of this uncertain situation.

On April 29, 2020, our Board approved a restructuring plan that will impact our global workforce and execute a significant reduction in our real estate footprint around the world. The estimated total cost of the plan is expected to be in the range of $80 million to $100 million and the plan is expected to be implemented over the next six to twelve months.

The Company has made a strategic decision to move towards a significant work from home (WFH) model. As a result of COVID-19, more than 95% of our employees are currently WFH, and we are now making plans for the future return to office strategy for our nearly 15,000 employees. We currently have approximately 120 offices around the world, and our intent, over time, is to make a significant reduction in the number of offices, anticipated to be over 50% of our global offices impacting approximately 15% of our employees. Based upon our plan, we estimate that this transition can be executed over the next six to twelve months. Management has estimated cost of this restructuring to be in the range of $65 million to $80 million, including the write-off of ROU assets relating to leases, the write-off of leases and fixed assets and other related costs.

We have also approved and begun executing an employee rationalization program across various departments in order to further reduce our cost base in light of the anticipated adverse effects and impact of COVID-19. We estimate severance costs to be in the range of $15 million to $20 million.

See "Acquisitions" below for the impact of acquisitions on the period-to-period comparability of results.

Acquisitions

Our competitive position in the marketplace requires us to maintain ~~a complex and~~an evolving array of technologies, products, services and capabilities. In light of the continually evolving marketplace in which we operate, on an ongoing basis we regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities within ~~the EIM~~our market and at any time may be in various stages of discussions with respect to such opportunities.

Acquisition of XMedius

On March 9, 2020, we acquired all of the equity interest in XMedius for approximately $73.3 million in an all cash transaction. XMedius is a provider of secure information exchange and unified communication solutions. We believe the acquisition will complement our Customer Experience Management (CEM) and Business Network (BN) platforms. The results of operations of this acquisition have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning March 9, 2020.

Acquisition of Carbonite

On December 24, 2019, we acquired all of the equity interest in Carbonite, a leading provider of cloud-based subscription backup, disaster recovery and endpoint security to SMB, consumers, and a wide variety of partners. Total consideration for Carbonite was approximately $1.4 billion, paid in cash (inclusive of cash acquired) and inclusive of approximately $0.1 billion relating to the cash settlement of pre-acquisition stock compensation that was previously accrued but since paid as of March 31, 2020. We believe the acquisition will increase our position in the data protection and endpoint security space, further strengthen our cloud capabilities and open a new route to connect with customers through Carbonite's marquee SMB and consumer channels and products. The results of operations of Carbonite have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning December 24, 2019.

Acquisition of Dynamic Solutions Group Inc. (The Fax Guys)

On December 2, 2019, we acquired certain assets and certain liabilities of The Fax Guys, for approximately $5.1 million, of which $1.0 million is currently held back and unpaid in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. The results of operations of The Fax Guys have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning December 2, 2019.

We believe our acquisitions support our long-term strategic direction, strengthen our competitive position, expand our customer base, provide greater scale to accelerate innovation, grow our earnings and provide superior shareholder value. We expect to continue to strategically acquire companies, products, services and technologies to augment our existing business. Our acquisitions, particularly significant ones, can affect the period-to-period comparability of our results. See note 1819 "Acquisitions" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

~~Catalyst Repository Systems Inc. (Catalyst)~~

On January 31, 2019, we acquired all of the equity interest in Catalyst, a leading provider of eDiscovery that designs, develops and supports market-leading cloud eDiscovery software, for approximately $70.8 million in an all cash transaction. This acquisition complements and extends our EIM portfolio. The results of operations of this acquisition have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning January 31, 2019.

~~Liaison Technologies, Inc. (Liaison)~~

On December 17, 2018, we acquired all of the equity interest in Liaison, a leading provider of cloud-based business to business integration, for approximately $310.6 million in an all cash transaction. This acquisition complements and extends our EIM portfolio. The results of operations of this acquisition have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning December 17, 2018.

Outlook for remainder of Fiscal ~~2019~~2020

As an organization, our management believes in delivering “Total Growth”, meaning we strive towards delivering value through organic initiatives, innovations and acquisitions, as well as financial performance. This growth is further enhanced through our direct and indirect sales distribution channels. With an emphasis on improving productivity, increasing recurring revenues and expanding our margins, we believe our “Total Growth” strategy will ultimately drive overall cash flow generation, thus helping to fuel our disciplined capital allocation approach and further drive our ability to deepen our account coverage and identify and execute strategic acquisitions. With strategic acquisitions, we are better positioned to expand our product portfolio and improve our ability to innovate and grow organically, which then further helps us to meet our long-term growth targets. We believe this “Total Growth” strategy is a durable model that will create shareholder value over both the near and long-term.

We ~~expect~~are committed to continuous innovation. Our investments in research and development (R&D) drive product innovation, increasing the value of our offerings to our installed customer base, which includes Global 10,000 companies, SMBs and consumers. More valuable products, coupled with our established global partner program, lead to greater distribution and cross-selling opportunities which further help us to achieve organic growth. On a fiscal year to date basis, we have invested approximately $270 million or approximately 12% of revenue in R&D, in line with our target to spend approximately 11% to 13% of revenues for R&D this fiscal year.

The cloud has become a business imperative. What used to be discussed as a potential option for managing budgets, is now a strategic direction that drives competitive positioning, product innovation, business agility, and cost management. We are committed to continue ~~to pursue strategic acquisitions~~our investment in the ~~future~~OpenText Cloud, which is a purpose-built cloud environment for solutions spanning Information Management, Compliance, and B2B Integration. Supported by a global, scalable, and secure

infrastructure, the OpenText Cloud includes a foundational platform of technology services, and packaged business applications for industry and business processes. The OpenText Cloud enables organizations to ~~strengthen our service offerings~~protect and manage information in ~~the EIM market, and at any time may be in various stages of discussions with respect to such opportunities.~~ public, private or hybrid deployments.

We ~~believe we are~~remain a value oriented and disciplined strategic acquirer, having efficiently deployed approximately ~~$6.9~~$7.4 billion on acquisitions over the last 10 years. Mergers and acquisitions are one of our leading growth drivers. We believe in creating value by focusing on acquiring strategic businesses, integrating them into our business model and using our acquired assets to innovate. We have developed a philosophy, which we refer to as “The OpenText Business System”, that is designed to create value by leveraging a clear set of operational mandates for integrating newly acquired companies and assets. We see our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and assets into our business as a strength and pursuing strategic acquisitions is an important aspect to our ~~growth~~Total Growth strategy.

~~While acquiring companies~~On March 3, 2020, COVID-19 was characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The spread of COVID-19 has significantly impacted the global economy and is ~~one~~expected to adversely impact our operational and financial performance. The extent of the adverse impact of the pandemic on the global economy and markets will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the measures taken to limit the spread of the virus and, in part, on the size and effectiveness of the compensating measures taken by governments. We are closely monitoring the potential effects and impact on our operations, businesses and financial performance, including liquidity and capital usage, though the extent is difficult to fully predict at this time due to the rapid evolution of this uncertain situation.

We are conducting business with substantial modifications to employee travel, employee work locations and virtualization or cancellations of all sales and marketing events, along with substantially modified interactions with customers and suppliers, among other modifications. In March 2020, we also drew down $600 million from the Revolver as a preemptive measure in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. We will continue to actively monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our ~~leading growth drivers,~~business and geographies, including customer purchasing decisions, and may take further actions that alter our ~~growth strategy also includes organic growth through ongoing innovation. We believe~~business operations as may be required by governments, or that we ~~create sustained value through new innovation by expanding distribution~~determine are in the best interest of our employees, customers, partners, suppliers, and ~~continually adding value~~shareholders. It is uncertain and difficult to predict what the potential effects any such alterations or modifications may have on our ~~installed base of customers. This quarter we invested approximately $85 million in research~~business including the effects on our customers and ~~development (R&D)~~prospects, or ~~approximately 11.8% of revenue. On a year to date basis, we have invested approximately $238 million in R&D~~our financial results and ~~are on target to spend 11% to 13% of revenues for R&D this fiscal year. We believe~~ our ability to ~~leverage~~successfully execute our ~~global presence is helpful~~business strategies and initiatives. As a precaution, we have temporarily significantly reduced all hiring and reduced discretionary spending, while taking note of some savings to be achieved through travel restrictions and the cancellation of certain events.

In addition, in order to further mitigate the operational impacts of COVID-19, our Compensation Committee and Board have approved the following measures effective for the period May 15, 2020 through June 30, 2021, subject to review and modification as the situation warrants:

15% base salary reduction and forbearance of any annual variable cash compensation effective May 15, 2020 for Fiscal 2020 and for all of Fiscal 2021, totaling an approximate 60% reduction in targeted cash compensation, for our CEO & CTO;

15% base salary reduction and 15% reduction in target annual variable cash compensation for our other Named Executive Officers and members of the executive leadership team (ELT);

10% base salary reduction and 10% reduction in target annual variable cash compensation, as applicable, for Vice-President- director-, and manager-level employees;

5% base salary reduction for all other employees subject to exception for certain of our employees, such as our employees in Asia who are earning less than the equivalent of $20,000 per year;

15% reduction in cash retainer compensation fees payable to the Board of Directors; and

Suspend employer paid contributions to retirement benefits in the United States and Canada for the remainder of Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2021.

These cost reduction measures are in addition to other previously disclosed facilities and workforce related actions as part of our COVID-19 restructuring plan. Please see Note 24 "Subsequent Events" for more information.

The ongoing and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our operations and financial performance depends on many factors that are not within our control. For more information, please see note 24 "Subsequent Events" to our ~~organic growth initiatives.~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that ~~time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.~~time. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. ~~Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes~~The policies listed below are areas that may contain key components of our results of operations and are based on complex rules requiring us to ~~the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements contains a summary of the significant~~make judgments and estimates and consequently, we consider these to be our critical accounting ~~policies that we use.

Some of these accounting policies involve complex situations and require a ~~high~~higher degree of judgment, either in the application and interpretation of existing accounting literature or in the development of estimates that affect our financial statements.

(i)	Revenue recognition,


(ii)	Goodwill,


(iii)	Acquired intangibles, and


(iv)	Income taxes.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2019, we adopted Topic 606 using the cumulative effect approach and ASU No. 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory" (ASU 2016-16) on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings.

We will continue to monitor the potential impact of COVID-19 on our financial statements and related disclosures, including the need for additional estimates going forward, which could include costs related to items such as special charges, restructurings, asset impairments and other non-recurring costs. For more information, please see note 24 "Subsequent Events" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of March 31, 2020, we have not recorded any estimated amounts with respect to COVID-19 in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Three Months Ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, ~~2018~~2019

License revenues ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$14.6~~$17.7 million or ~~17.4%~~17.9% during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year; ~~up 22.2%~~down 17.0% after factoring in the impact of ~~$4.0~~$0.9 million of foreign exchange rate changes. Geographically, the overall change was attributable to ~~an increase~~a decrease in Americas of ~~$18.9~~$18.6 million and ~~an increase in EMEA of $0.1 million, partially offset by~~ a decrease in Asia Pacific of ~~$4.4~~$1.3 million, partially offset by an increase in EMEA of $2.2 million.

During the third quarter of Fiscal ~~2019,~~2020, we closed 2923 license deals greater than $0.5 million, of which 8 deals were greater than $1.0 million, contributing approximately $25.0 million of license revenues. This was compared to 29 deals greater than $0.5 million closed during the third quarter of Fiscal 2019, of which 12 deals were greater than $1.0 million, contributing ~~approximately~~ $43.3 million of license revenues. This was compared to 25 deals greater than $0.5 million in the third quarter of Fiscal 2018, of which 12 deals were greater than $1.0 million, contributing approximately $25.1 million of license revenues.

Cost of license revenues decreased by ~~$0.4~~$0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of lower third party technology costs. Overall, the gross margin percentage on license revenues ~~increased slightly~~remained stable at approximately 97%.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to ~~approximately 97% from approximately 96%.~~Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019

~~For illustrative purposes only, had we accounted for~~License revenues ~~under proforma Topic 605, license revenues would have been $81.4~~decreased by $11.3 million ~~for~~or 3.7% during the ~~three~~nine months ended March 31, ~~2019, which would have been lower by approximately $2.7 million or 3.2%,~~2020 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year; ~~but would have been up 1.0%~~down 2.3% after factoring in the impact of $3.5 million of foreign exchange rate changes. Geographically, the overall change in proforma Topic 605 license revenue was attributable to a decrease in Asia Pacific of $6.2 million, and a decrease in EMEA of $0.5 million, partially offset by an increase in Americas of $4.1 million.

The $17.3 million difference between license revenues recognized under Topic 606 and those proforma Topic 605 revenues described above is the result of timing differences, where under Topic 605, revenues would have been deferred and recognized over time, but under Topic 606 these revenues are fully recognized up front. For more details, see note 3 "Revenues" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 2018~~

License revenues increased by $10.8 million or 3.6% during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year; up 5.9% after factoring the impact of $6.8 million of foreign exchange rate changes. Geographically, the overall change was attributable to an increase in Americas of $22.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in Asia Pacific of $9.1 million and a decrease in EMEA of $2.9 million.

During the first nine months of Fiscal 2019, we closed 100 license deals greater than $0.5 million, of which 36 deals were greater than $1.0 million, contributing approximately $115.8 million of license revenues. This was compared to 88 deals greater than $0.5 million during the same period in Fiscal 2018, of which 35 deals were greater than $1.0 million, contributing $102.3 million of license revenues.

Cost of license revenues decreased by $0.4 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The gross margin percentage on license revenues remained at approximately 97%.

For illustrative purposes only, had we accounted for revenues under proforma Topic 605, license revenues would have been $272.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, which would have been lower by approximately $24.7 million or 8.3% as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year; and would have been lower by 6.2% after factoring the impact of $6.1$4.3 million of foreign exchange rate changes. Geographically, the overall change was attributable to a decrease in ~~Asia Pacific~~Americas of ~~$12.5 million, a decrease in EMEA of $7.8~~$18.5 million and a decrease in ~~Americas~~Asia Pacific of ~~$4.5~~$2.6 million, partially offset by an increase in EMEA of $9.8 million.

2) Cloud Services and Subscriptions:

Cloud services and subscriptions revenues are from hosting arrangements where in connection with the licensing of software, the end user ~~doesn’t~~does not take possession of the software, as well as from end-to-end fully outsourced business-to-business (B2B) integration solutions to our customers (collectively referred to as cloud arrangements). The software application resides on our hardware or that of a third party, and the customer accesses and uses the software on an as-needed basis via an identified line. Our cloud arrangements can be broadly categorized as "platform as a service" (PaaS), "software as a service" (SaaS), cloud subscriptions and managed services.

Cost of Cloud services and subscriptions revenues is comprised primarily of third party network usage fees, maintenance of in-house data hardware centers, technical support personnel-related costs, and some third party royalty costs.

For more details, see note 3 "Revenues" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 2018~~

Cloud services and subscriptions revenues increased by $54.8 million or 9.0% during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year; up 10.0% after factoring the impact of $6.2 million of foreign exchange rate changes.

3) Customer Support:

Customer support revenues consist of revenues from our customer support and maintenance agreements. These agreements allow our customers to receive technical support, enhancements and upgrades to new versions of our software products when ~~and if~~ available. Customer support revenues are generated from support and maintenance relating to current year sales of software products and from the renewal of existing maintenance agreements for software licenses sold in prior periods. Therefore, changes in Customer support revenues do not always correlate directly to the changes in license revenues from period to period. The terms of support and maintenance agreements are typically twelve months, ~~with customer renewal options.~~and are renewable, generally on an annual basis, at the option of the customer. Our management reviews our Customer support renewal rates on a quarterly basis and we use these rates as a method of monitoring our customer service performance. For the quarter ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, our Customer support renewal rate was approximately ~~91%~~94%, ~~stable~~ compared with the Customer support renewal rate of 91% during the quarter ended March 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Cost of Customer support revenues is comprised primarily of technical support personnel and related costs, as well as third party royalty costs.

4) Professional Service and Other:

Professional service and other revenues consist of revenues from consulting contracts and contracts to provide implementation, training and integration services (professional services). Other revenues consist of hardware revenues, which are grouped within the “Professional service and other” category because they are relatively immaterial to our service revenues. Professional services are typically performed after the purchase of new software licenses. Professional service and other revenues can vary from period to period based on the type of engagements as well as those implementations that are assumed by our partner network.

Cost of professional service and other revenues consists primarily of the costs of providing integration, configuration and training with respect to our various software products. The most significant components of these costs are personnel-related expenses, travel costs and third party subcontracting.

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $3.0 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to (i) a decrease in commissions expense of $2.5 million, of which approximately $7.0 million is the net result of the Company capitalizing more commission expense under Topic 606, whereas previously, under Topic 605, such costs would have been expensed as incurred, (ii) a decrease in travel and communication expenses of $2.2 million, (iii) a decrease in marketing expenses of $2.2 million and (iv) a decrease in other miscellaneous expenses of $1.1 million. These were partially offset by (i) an increase in bad debt expense of $4.5 million as certain low dollar receivables were provided for entirely as they became aged greater than one year and (ii) an increase in the use of facility and related resources of $1.1$6.2 million.

Payroll and payroll-related benefits increased by $28.1 million, marketing expenses increased by $10.9 million, and facility related expenses increased by $7.7 million. Additionally, commission expense increased by $7.0 million. These were partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense of $4.7 million. Overall, our sales and marketing expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, increased to approximately 19% from approximately 18% in the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Special charges (recoveries):

Special charges typically relate to amounts that we expect to pay in connection with restructuring plans, ~~relating to employee workforce reduction and abandonment of excess facilities,~~ acquisition-related costs and other similar charges and recoveries. Generally, we implement such plans in the context of integrating acquired entities with existing OpenText operations. Actions related to such restructuring plans are typically completed within a period of one year. In certain limited situations, if the planned activity does not need to be implemented, or an expense lower than anticipated is paid out, we record a recovery of the originally recorded expense to Special charges.

Interest and other related expense, net increased by $0.6 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to additional interest incurred relating to Term Loan B (as defined herein) of $3.6 million and $10.9 million, respectively. This was partially offset by a decrease of $2.7 million and $7.3 million, respectively, relating to interest on the Revolver (as defined herein). As of March 31, 2019, we have no outstanding balance on the Revolver nor was there activity during the nine months ended March 31, 2019. Additionally, interest income earned increased by $0.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, primarily as result of additional cash balances held in anticipation of the acquisition of Catalyst and Liaison.

Provision for (Recovery of) Income Taxes

We operate in several tax jurisdictions and are exposed to various foreign tax rates. We also note that we are subject to tax rate discrepancies between our domestic tax rate and foreign tax rates that are significant and these discrepancies are primarily related to earnings in the United States.

The ~~increase~~decrease in tax expense of ~~$12.4~~$23.7 million was primarily due to ~~an increase~~(i) a decrease of $7.6 million arising from increased net income taxed at foreign tax rates, an increase of $3.1 million arising on the introduction of the United States Base Erosion Avoidance Tax (“BEAT”) in Fiscal 2019, and an increase of $8.0$20.0 million relating to the decrease in net income including the impact of foreign rates, (ii) a decrease of $9.0 million from tax ~~impact~~rate differential in tax years applicable to United States loss carryforwards that became eligible for carryback under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act enacted in the third quarter of Fiscal 2020, and (iii) a decrease of $7.9 million related to tax costs of internal reorganizations ~~of subsidiaries in Fiscal 2018, partially offset by the Fiscal 2018 impact of United States tax reform of $5.1 million which~~that did not recur in Fiscal ~~2019.~~2020. These were partially offset by (i) an increase of $4.8 million related to the US Base Erosion Anti-avoidance Tax (US BEAT), (ii) an increase in tax filings in excess of estimates of $3.0 million, (iii) a decrease in tax credits for research and development of $2.9 million resulting from filings in excess of estimates in Fiscal 2019 that did not recur in Fiscal 2020 and (iv) an increase in accruals for repatriations from foreign subsidiaries of $1.7 million. The remainder of the difference was due to normal course movements and non-material items.

These were partially offset by (i) an increase of $16.6 million relating to a one-time reversal of accruals for repatriations from subsidiaries in the United States in Fiscal 2019 that did not recur in Fiscal 2020, (ii) an increase in tax filings in excess of estimates of $10.4 million, and (iii) the impact of US BEAT of $9.9 million. The remainder of the difference was due to normal course movements and non-material items.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides certain financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP (Non-GAAP). These Non-GAAP financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not have a standardized meaning and thus the Company's definition may be different from similar Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts and may differ from period to period. Thus it may be more difficult to compare the Company's financial performance to that of other companies. However, the Company's management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of these Non-GAAP financial measures both in its reconciliation to the U.S. GAAP financial measures and its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's results.

The Company uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to supplement the information provided in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be a substitute for financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with and as a supplement to such U.S. GAAP measures. OpenText strongly encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure. The Company therefore believes that despite these limitations, it is appropriate to supplement the disclosure of the U.S. GAAP measures with certain Non-GAAP measures defined below.

Non-GAAP-based net income and Non-GAAP-based EPS, attributable to OpenText, ~~are~~is consistently calculated as GAAP-based net income or earnings per share, attributable to OpenText, on a diluted basis, ~~after giving effect to~~excluding the effects of the amortization of acquired intangible assets, other income (expense), share-based compensation, and Special charges (recoveries), all net of tax and any tax benefits/expense items unrelated to current period income, as further described in the tables below. Non-GAAP-based gross profit is the arithmetical sum of GAAP-based gross profit and the amortization of acquired technology-based intangible assets and share-based compensation within cost of sales. Non-GAAP-based gross margin is calculated as Non-GAAP-based gross profit expressed as a percentage of total revenue. Non-GAAP-based income from operations is calculated as GAAP-based income from operations, excluding the amortization of acquired intangible assets, Special charges (recoveries), and share-based compensation expense.

Adjusted earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is consistently calculated as GAAP-based net income, attributable to OpenText excluding interest income (expense), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, other income (expense), share-based compensation and Special charges (recoveries).

The Company's management believes that the presentation of the above defined Non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors because they portray the financial results of the Company before the impact of certain non-operational charges. The use of the term “non-operational charge” is defined for this purpose as an expense that does not impact the ongoing operating decisions taken by the Company's management. These items are excluded based upon the way the Company's management evaluates the performance of the Company's business for use in the Company's internal reports and are not excluded in the sense that they may be used under U.S. GAAP.

The Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and therefore believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures, which in certain cases adjust for the impact of amortization of intangible assets and the related tax effects that are primarily related to acquisitions, will provide readers of financial statements with a more consistent basis for comparison across accounting periods and be more useful in helping readers understand the Company’s operating results and underlying operational trends. Additionally, the Company has engaged in various restructuring activities over the past several years, primarily due to acquisitions, that have resulted in costs associated with reductions in headcount, consolidation of leased facilities and related costs, all which are recorded under the Company’s “Special Charges (recoveries)” caption on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Each restructuring activity is a discrete event based on a unique set of business objectives or circumstances, and each differs in terms of its operational implementation, business impact and scope, and the size of each restructuring plan can vary significantly from period to period. Therefore, the Company believes that the exclusion of these special charges (recoveries) will also better aid readers of financial statements in the understanding and comparability of the Company's operating results and underlying operational trends.

In summary, the Company believes the provision of supplemental Non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the operational and financial performance of the Company's core business using the same evaluation measures that management uses, and is therefore a useful indication of OpenText's performance or expected performance of future operations and facilitates period-to-period comparison of operating performance (although prior performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance). As a result, the Company considers it appropriate and reasonable to provide, in addition to U.S. GAAP measures, supplementary Non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items from the presentation of its financial results.

The following charts provide unaudited reconciliations of U.S. GAAP-based financial measures to Non-GAAP-based financial measures for the following periods presented. Results for reporting periods commencing July 1, 2018 are presented under the new Topic 606 revenue standard, while prior period results continue to be reported under the previous standard. For more details relating to our adoption of Topic 606 please see Note 1 "Basis of Presentation" and Note 3 "Revenues" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of share-based compensation expense from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as this expense is excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(2)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of amortization expense from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as the timing and frequency of amortization expense is dependent on our acquisitions and is hence excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(3)	GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based gross profit stated in dollars and gross margin stated as a percentage of total revenue.
(4)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of Special charges (recoveries) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as Special charges (recoveries) are generally incurred in the periods relevant to an acquisition and include certain charges or recoveries that are not indicative or related to continuing operations, and are therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results. See note 1718 "Special Charges (Recoveries)" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.
(5)	GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based income from operations stated in dollars.
(6)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of Other income (expense) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as Other income (expense) generally relates to the transactional impact of foreign exchange and is generally not indicative or related to continuing operations and is therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results. Other income (expense) also includes our share of income (losses) from our holdings in ~~non-marketable~~investments as a limited partner. We do not actively trade equity securities in these privately held companies nor do we plan our ongoing operations based around any anticipated fundings or distributions from these investments. We exclude gains and losses on these investments as we do not believe they are reflective of our ongoing business and operating results.
(7)	Adjustment relates to differences between the GAAP-based tax provision rate of approximately 25% and a Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 14%; these rate differences are due to the income tax effects of items that are excluded for the purpose of calculating Non-GAAP-based adjusted net income. Such excluded items include amortization, share-based compensation, Special charges (recoveries) and other income (expense), net. Also excluded are tax benefits/expense items unrelated to current period income such as changes in reserves for tax uncertainties and valuation allowance reserves, and “book to return” adjustments for tax return filings and tax assessments. Included is the amount of net tax benefits arising from the internal reorganization that occurred in Fiscal 2017 assumed to be allocable to the current period based on the forecasted utilization period. In arriving at our Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 14%, we analyzed the individual adjusted expenses and took into consideration the impact of statutory tax rates from local jurisdictions incurring the expense.

Also excluded are tax benefits/expense items unrelated to current period income such as changes in reserves for tax uncertainties and valuation allowance reserves, and “book to return” adjustments for tax return filings and tax assessments. Included is the amount of net tax benefits arising from the internal reorganization that occurred in Fiscal 2017 assumed to be allocable to the current period based on the forecasted utilization period. In arriving at our Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 14%, we analyzed the individual adjusted expenses and took into consideration the impact of statutory tax rates from local jurisdictions incurring the expense.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of balances with banks as well as deposits with original maturities of 90 days or less.

We continue to anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents, as well as available credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated cash requirements for working capital, contractual commitments, capital expenditures, dividends and operating needs for the next twelve months. Any further material or acquisition-related activities may require additional sources of financing and would be subject to the financial covenants established under our credit facilities. For more details, see "Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities" below. Proceeds from our $600 million draw down on the Revolver (defined below), (for which notice to the lenders was provided on March 5, 2020) have resulted in total cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.5 billion as of March 31, 2020.

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we ~~have provided $15.1~~recognized a provision of $21.7 million (June 30, ~~2018—~~2019—$~~28.5~~17.4 million) in respect of both additional foreign taxes or deferred income tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the undistributed earnings of certain non-United States subsidiaries, and planned periodic repatriations from certain United States and German subsidiaries, that will be subject to withholding taxes upon distribution.

Cash flows provided by operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities increased by ~~$142.5~~$27.8 million due to an increase ~~in changes from working capital of $151.0 million, partially offset by a decrease~~ in net income before the impact of non-cash items of ~~$8.5~~$53.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in changes from working capital of $25.7 million. The ~~increase~~change in operating cash flow from changes in working capital was primarily due to the net impact of the following ~~increases:~~decreases: (i) ~~$108.5~~$55.6 million relating to changes in income taxes payable, net of receivables, (ii) $11.6 million relating to a decrease in accounts ~~receivable, (ii) $61.6~~payable and accrued liabilities, (iii) $6.8 million relating to an increase in ~~accounts payable and accrued liabilities, (iii) $43.1 million relating to an increase in income taxes payable, (iv) $10.1 million relating to a decrease in~~ prepaid expenses and other current assets, and ~~(v) $7.2~~(iv) $4.5 million relating to ~~lower balances of other assets.~~changes in net operating lease assets and liabilities. These ~~increases in operating cash flows~~decreases were partially offset by ~~decreases of~~the following increases: (i) ~~$50.6~~$33.4 million relating to a lower accounts receivable balance, (ii) $14.1 million relating to deferred revenues, (iii) $3.1 million relating to changes in other assets and ~~(ii) $28.9~~(iv) $2.2 million relating to higher contract assets.

During the third quarter of Fiscal ~~2019~~2020 our days sales outstanding (DSO) was 6051 days, compared to a DSO of 6760 days during the third quarter of Fiscal ~~2018.~~2019. The per day impact of our DSO in the third ~~quarters~~quarter of Fiscal ~~2019~~2020 and Fiscal ~~2018~~2019 on our cash flows was ~~$8.0~~$9.1 million and ~~$7.6~~$8.0 million, respectively. In arriving at DSO, we exclude contract assets as these ~~are~~ assets ~~that we~~ do not ~~have~~provide an unconditional right to the related consideration from the customer.

Cash flows used in investing activities

Our cash flows used in investing activities is primarily on account of acquisitions and additions of property and equipment.

Cash flows used in investing activities increased by ~~$27.1 million,~~approximately $1.0 billion, primarily due to an increase ~~of $62.7 million~~ in consideration paid for acquisitions during the first nine months of Fiscal ~~2019,~~2020 as compared to the same period in Fiscal ~~2018. This was partially offset by a decrease~~2019. During Fiscal 2020 we acquired Carbonite for approximately $1.4 billion, net of ~~$32.6 million in purchases of property~~cash acquired, and ~~equipment. The remainder of the change was due to miscellaneous items.~~XMedius for approximately $73.3 million.

Cash flows provided by ~~(used in)~~ financing activities

Our cash flows from financing activities generally consist of long-term debt financing and amounts received from stock options exercised by our employees. These inflows are typically offset by scheduled and non-scheduled repayments of our long-term debt financing and, when applicable, the payment of dividends and/or the repurchases of our Common Shares.

Cash flows ~~from~~provided by financing activities ~~went~~increased by approximately $1.4 billion. This was primarily due to proceeds from ~~an inflow~~the issuance of ~~$55.2~~Senior Notes 2028 and Seniors Notes 2030 (both defined below) of approximately $1.8 billion. A portion of these proceeds were used to redeem $800 million during the first nine months of Fiscal 2018 to an outflow of $114.7 million during the first nine months of Fiscal 2019. During the first nine months of Fiscal 2018, we received net cash proceeds of $94.2 million, after drawings on the Revolver of $200.0 million and repayments of our ~~long-term loan of $105.8 million. During Fiscal 2019 to date, we have not~~Senior Notes 2023 (defined below) and repay $750 million that was drawn on the Revolver in the second quarter of Fiscal 2020. Additionally, in February 2020, all Notes due 2022, inherited through our acquisition of Carbonite, were surrendered and ~~have only repaid $7.5~~converted at a rate of $1,068.7341 in cash for each $1,000 principal amount, and in March 2020, we drew $600 million of our outstanding long-term debt, in accordance with our long-term debt schedules. Other significant changes include less cash used in investing activities of $26.5 million relating to funds we provide to an independent agent to facilitate the repurchase of Common Shares on the open market, for potential reissuance under our long-term incentive and other plans. Additionally, we experienced a reduction of $24.0 million relating to less cash collected from the ~~issuance~~Revolver as a preemptive measure in light of ~~Common Shares for~~current uncertainty in the ~~exercise of options and the OpenText Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP), as well as an increase in dividend payments to our shareholders of $16.9 million.~~global markets.

Cash Dividends

During the three and nine months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we declared and paid cash dividends of ~~$0.1518~~$0.1746 and ~~$0.4554~~$0.5238 per Common Share, respectively, ~~that totaled $40.7~~in the aggregated amount of $47.3 million and ~~$121.9~~$141.4 million, respectively. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination and discretion of the Board.

Senior Notes 2023

On January 15, 2015, we issued $800 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (Senior Notes 2023) in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Senior Notes 2023 ~~bear~~bore interest at a rate of 5.625% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15, commencing on July 15, 2015.

The resulting loss of $17.9 million has been recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. See note 21 "Other income (Expense), net" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Notes due 2022

Following our acquisition of Carbonite, our consolidated debt reflected $143.8 million of principal debt convertible notes (Notes due 2022). Notes due 2022 were originally issued by Carbonite, on April 4, 2017, in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Notes due 2022 were issued under an Indenture (the 2022 Notes Indenture) between Carbonite and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the 2022 Notes Trustee). The Notes due 2022 accrued interest at 2.5% per year, which was payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The Notes due 2022 will mature on April 1, 2022, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Carbonite, now a ~~price equal~~subsidiary of OpenText, was the sole obligor on the Notes due 2022.

In connection with our acquisition of Carbonite, and as required by the 2022 Notes Indenture, Carbonite and the 2022 Notes Trustee entered into a first supplemental indenture, dated as of December 24, 2019 (the 2022 Notes Supplemental Indenture). The 2022 Notes Supplemental Indenture provides that, at and after the effective time of our acquisition of Carbonite, the right to ~~101% of the~~convert each $1,000 principal amount of ~~Senior~~the Notes ~~2023, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,~~due 2022 was changed into the right to convert such principal amount of the Notes due 2022 solely into cash in an amount equal to the ~~date~~Conversion Rate (as defined in the 2022

The increased Conversion Rate was in effect until the close of business (5:00 P.M. New York City time) on February 27, 2020. As of February 27, 2020, all Notes due 2022 had been surrendered and ~~enter into sale~~converted at a rate of $1,068.7341 in cash for each $1,000 principal amount. As of March 31, 2020, all Notes due 2022 have been fully settled in cash and ~~lease-back transactions; (ii) create, assume, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness of the Company or the subsidiary guarantors without such subsidiary becoming a subsidiary guarantor of Senior~~there are no remaining Notes 2023; and (iii) consolidate, amalgamate or merge with, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its property and assets substantially as an entirety to, another person. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions as set forth in the 2023 Indenture. The 2023 Indenture also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, may permit or, in certain circumstances, require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then-outstanding notes to be due ~~and payable immediately.~~

Senior Notes 2023 are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our existing and future wholly-owned subsidiaries that borrow or guarantee the obligations under our existing senior credit facilities. Senior Notes 2023 and the guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of our and our subsidiary guarantors’ existing and future senior unsubordinated debt and will rank senior in right of payment to all of our and our subsidiary guarantors’ future subordinated debt. Senior Notes 2023 and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all of ours and our guarantors’ existing and future secured debt, including the obligations under the Revolver and Term Loan B (as defined herein), to the extent of the value of the assets securing such secured debt.

The foregoing description of the 2023 Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2023 Indenture, which is filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 15, 2015.2022 outstanding.

Term Loan B

On May 30, 2018, we entered into a credit facility, which provides for a $1 billion term loan facility with certain lenders named therein, Barclays Bank PLC (Barclays), as sole administrative agent and collateral agent, and as lead arranger and joint bookrunner (Term Loan B) and borrowed the full amount on May 30, 2018 to, among other things, repay in full the loans under our prior $800 million term loan credit facility originally entered into on January 16, 2014. Repayments made under Term Loan B are equal to 0.25% of the principal amount in equal quarterly installments for the life of Term Loan B, with the remainder due at maturity.

Borrowings under Term Loan B are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets on a pari passu basis with the Revolver. Term Loan B has a seven year term, maturing in May 2025.

Borrowings under Term Loan B bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the borrower’s option, either (1) the eurodollar rate for the interest period relevant to such borrowing or (2) an ABR rate. The applicable margin for borrowings under Term Loan B is 1.75%, with respect to LIBOR advances and 0.75%, with respect to ABR advances. The interest on the current outstanding balance for Term Loan B is equal to 1.75% plus LIBOR (subject to a 0.00% floor). As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the outstanding balance on the Term Loan B bears an interest rate of approximately ~~4.24%~~3.35%.

Term Loan B has incremental facility capacity of (i) $250 million plus (ii) additional amounts, subject to meeting a “consolidated senior secured net leverage” ratio not exceeding 2.75:1.00, in each case subject to certain conditions. Consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio is defined for this purpose as the proportion of our total debt reduced by unrestricted cash, including guarantees and letters of credit, that is secured by our or any of our subsidiaries’ assets, over our trailing twelve months net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges.

Under Term Loan B, we must maintain a “consolidated net leverage” ratio of no more than 4:1 at the end of each financial quarter. Consolidated net leverage ratio is defined for this purpose as the proportion of our total debt reduced by unrestricted cash, including guarantees and letters of credit, over our trailing twelve months net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges. As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, our consolidated net leverage ratio was ~~1.7:~~2.3:1.

Revolver

~~We currently have a $450 million~~On October 31, 2019, we amended our committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver) ~~which matures on~~to increase the total commitments under the Revolver from $450 million to $750 million as well as to extend the maturity from May 5, ~~2022.~~2022 to October 31, 2024. Borrowings under the Revolver are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets, ~~and~~ on a pari passu basis with Term Loan B. The Revolver has no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest per annum at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a fixed margin dependent on our consolidated net leverage ratio ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding balance on the Revolver bears an interest rate of approximately 2.50%.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2020, we drew down $750 million from the Revolver to partially fund the acquisition of Carbonite. In February 2020, we repaid $750 million drawn under the Revolver with a portion of the proceeds from the Senior Notes 2030 and Senior Notes 2028. In March 2020, we drew down $600 million from the Revolver as a preemptive measure in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. The proceeds from the $600 million draw down are presented within cash and cash equivalents and within the current portion of long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2020.

Under the Revolver, we must maintain a “consolidated net leverage” ratio of no more than 4:1 at the end of each financial quarter. Consolidated net leverage ratio is defined for this purpose as the proportion of our total debt reduced by unrestricted cash, including guarantees and letters of credit, over our trailing twelve months net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges. As of March 31, 2020, our consolidated net leverage ratio was 2.3:1.

As of March 31, 2020, we have $600 million outstanding balance on the Revolver (June 30, 2019—nil) and $150 million remains available to be drawn under the Revolver.

As of March 31, 2019, we ~~have~~had no outstanding balance on the Revolver. There was no activity during ~~the~~ three and nine months ended March 31, ~~2019 and we recorded no interest expense.~~

For further details relating to our debt, please see note 1011 "Long-Term Debt" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Shelf Registration Statement

On ~~August 30, 2017,~~November 29, 2019, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which became effective automatically (the Shelf Registration Statement). The Shelf Registration Statement allows for primary and secondary offerings from time to time of equity, debt and other securities, including Common Shares, Preference Shares, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, purchase contracts, units and subscription receipts. A base shelf short-form prospectus qualifying the distribution of such securities was concurrently filed with Canadian securities regulators on ~~August 30, 2017.~~November 29, 2019. The type of securities and the specific terms thereof will be determined at the time of any offering and will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement to be filed separately with the SEC and Canadian securities regulators.

Pensions

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, our total unfunded pension plan obligations were ~~$73.8~~$69.9 million, of which ~~$2.3~~$2.5 million is payable within the next twelve months. We expect to be able to make the long-term and short-term payments related to these obligations in the normal course of operations.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

Litigation

We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.

As more fully described below, we are unable at this time to estimate a possible loss or range of losses in respect of certain disclosed matters.

Contingencies

IRS Matter

approximately $185 million of interest. Interest will continue to accrue at the applicable statutory rates until the matter is resolved and may be substantial.

For additional information regarding the history of this IRS matter, please see Note 13 "Guarantees and Contingencies" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2018.

CRA Matter

deductions available for those years (including carry-backs from later years) that would offset such increased amounts so that no additional cash tax would be payable, exclusive of any assessed penalties and interest, as described above.

We will continue to vigorously contest the proposed adjustments to our taxable income and any penalty and interest assessments. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not recorded any accruals in respect of these reassessments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Audits by the CRA of our tax returns for fiscal years prior to Fiscal 2012 have been completed with no reassessment of our income tax liability in respect of our international transactions, including the transfer pricing methodology applied to them. The CRA is currently auditing Fiscal ~~2014~~2015, Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal ~~2015~~2017 and have proposed to reassess ~~such years~~Fiscal 2015 in a manner consistent with Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal ~~2013.~~2014. We are engaged in ongoing discussions with the CRA and continue to vigorously contest the CRA's audit positions.

Carbonite Class Action Complaint

things, the designation of the action as a class action, an award of unspecified compensatory damages, costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees, and other relief as the court deems appropriate. On August 23, 2019, a nearly identical complaint was filed in the same court captioned William Feng, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Carbonite, Inc., Mohamad S. Ali, and Anthony Folger (No. 1:19- cv-11808-LTS) (together with the Luna Complaint, the “Securities Actions”). On November 21, 2019, the court consolidated the Securities Actions, appointed a lead plaintiff, and designated a lead counsel. On January 15, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint generally making the same allegations and seeking the same relief as the complaint filed on August 1, 2019. The defendants moved to dismiss the Securities Actions on March 10, 2020. The lead counsel's opposition is currently due May 4, 2020. In light of, among other things, the early stage of the litigation, we are unable to predict the outcome of this action and are unable to reasonably estimate the amount or range of loss, if any, that could result from this proceeding.

Carbonite vs Realtime Data

On February 27, 2017, prior to our acquisition of Carbonite, a non-practicing entity named Realtime Data LLC (“Realtime Data”) filed a lawsuit against Carbonite in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas "Realtime Data LLC v. Carbonite, Inc. et al (No 6:17-cv-00121-RWS-JDL)", alleging that certain of Carbonite’s cloud storage services infringe upon certain patents held by Realtime Data. Realtime Data’s complaint against Carbonite sought damages in an unspecified amount and injunctive relief. On December 19, 2017, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas transferred the case to the U.S District Court for the District of Massachusetts (No. 1:17-cv-12499). Realtime Data has also filed numerous other patent suits on the asserted patents against other companies around the country. In one of those suits, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, the Delaware Court on July 29, 2019 dismissed the lawsuit after declaring invalid three of the four patents asserted by Realtime Data against Carbonite. By way of Order dated August 19, 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts stayed the action against Carbonite pending appeal of the dismissal in the Delaware lawsuit. As to the fourth patent, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office Patent Trial and Appeal Board on September 24, 2019 invalidated certain claims of that patent. No trial date has been set in the action against Carbonite. The Company is defending Carbonite vigorously. We have not accrued a loss contingency related to this matter because litigation related to a non-practicing entity is inherently unpredictable. Although a loss is reasonably possible, an unfavorable outcome is not considered by management to be probable at this time and we remain unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of loss associated with this litigation.

Please also see Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal ~~2018.~~2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not enter into off-balance sheet financing as a matter of practice, except for guarantees relating to taxes and letters of credit on behalf of parties with whom we conduct business, and the use of operating leases for office space, computer equipment, and vehicles. None of the operating leases described in the previous sentence has, and we currently do not believe that they potentially may have, a material effect on our financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, neither the lease liability nor the underlying asset is carried on the balance sheet, as the terms of the leases do not meet the criteria for capitalization.business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are primarily exposed to market risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on our term loans, revolving loans and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest rate risk

Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations relate primarily to our Term Loan B.B and the Revolver.

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had an outstanding balance of ~~$990.0~~$980.0 million on Term Loan B. Term Loan B bears a floating interest rate of 1.75% plus LIBOR. As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, an adverse change of one percent on the interest rate would have the effect of increasing our annual interest payment on Term Loan B by approximately ~~$9.9~~$9.8 million, assuming that the loan balance as of March 31, ~~2019~~2020 is outstanding for the entire period (June 30, ~~2018—~~2019—$~~10.0~~9.9 million).

As of March 31, 2020, we had an outstanding balance of $600.0 million on the Revolver. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest per annum at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a fixed rate that is dependent on our consolidated net leverage ratio ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. As of March 31, 2020, an adverse change of one percent on the interest rate would have the effect of increasing our annual interest payment on the Revolver by approximately $6.0 million, assuming that the full balance as of March 31, 2020 is outstanding for the entire period (June 30, 2019—nil).

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency transaction risk

We transact business in various foreign currencies. Our foreign currency exposures typically arise from intercompany fees, intercompany loans and other intercompany transactions that are expected to be cash settled in the near term. We expect that we will continue to realize gains or losses with respect to our foreign currency exposures. Our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to foreign currency exposures will generally depend on the size and type of cross-currency transactions that we enter into, the currency exchange rates associated with these exposures and changes in those rates. Additionally, we have hedged certain of our Canadian dollar foreign currency exposures relating to our payroll expenses in Canada.

Based on the foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, a one cent change in the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate would have caused a change of approximately $0.6 million in the mark to market on our existing foreign exchange forward contracts (June 30, ~~2018—~~2019—$~~0.5~~0.6 million).

Foreign currency translation risk

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in foreign currencies impact the amount of total assets and liabilities that we report for our foreign subsidiaries upon the translation of these amounts into U.S. dollars. In particular, the amount of cash and cash equivalents that we report in U.S. dollars for a significant portion of the cash held by these subsidiaries is subject to translation variance caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as of the end of each respective reporting period (the offset to which is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

The following table shows our cash and cash equivalents denominated in certain major foreign currencies as of March 31, ~~2019~~2020 (equivalent in U.S. dollar):


(In thousands)	U.S. Dollar Equivalent at March 31, 2019		U.S. Dollar Equivalent at June 30, 2018		U.S. Dollar Equivalent at March 31, 2020		U.S. Dollar Equivalent at June 30, 2019
Euro	$	103,954	$	120,346	$	217,645	$	120,417
British Pound	28,810		31,211		17,708		33,703
Canadian Dollar	18,393		24,590		16,663		12,635
Swiss Franc	78,027		52,652		34,559		56,776
Other foreign currencies	108,895		117,459		101,577		105,273
Total cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies	338,079		346,258		388,152		328,804
U.S. dollar	427,145		336,684		1,064,418		612,205
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	765,224	$	682,942	$	1,452,570	$	941,009

If overall foreign currency exchange rates in comparison to the U.S. dollar uniformly weakened by 10%, the amount of cash and cash equivalents we would report in equivalent U.S. dollars would decrease by approximately ~~$33.8~~$38.8 million (June 30, ~~2018—~~2019—$~~34.6~~32.9 million), assuming we have not entered into any derivatives discussed above under "Foreign Currency Transaction Risk".

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(A) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act (according to Rule 13(a)-15(e)) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(B) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR)

Based on the evaluation completed by our management, in which our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer participated, our management has concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

~~PART~~Part II - Other Information

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, ~~2018.~~2019 in addition to the risk factors set forth below. These are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our operating results, financial condition and liquidity. Our business is also subject to general risks and uncertainties that affect many other ~~companies.yes~~companies.

The ~~vote~~outbreak of COVID-19 is expected to negatively affect our business, operations and financial performance

On March 3, 2020, COVID-19 was characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Since December 2019, COVID-19 has spread rapidly, with at least 180 countries and territories worldwide with confirmed cases of COVID-19, and a high concentration of cases in certain countries in which we sell our products and services and conduct our business operations, including the United ~~Kingdom~~States, Canada, Europe and Asia.

The spread of COVID-19 and resulting tight government controls and travel bans implemented around the world , such as declarations of states of emergency, business closures, manufacturing restrictions and a prolonged period of travel, commercial and/or other similar restrictions and limitations, have caused disruption to ~~leave~~global supply chains and economic activity, and the ~~European Union (EU) could~~market has entered a period of significantly increased volatility. The spread of COVID-19 is currently having an adverse impact on the global economy, the severity and duration of which is difficult to predict, and is expected to adversely affect us

our financial performance, as well as our ability to successfully execute our business strategies and initiatives, including by negatively impacting the demand for our products and services, restricting our sales operations and marketing efforts, disrupting the supply chain of hardware needed to operate our SaaS offerings or run our business and disrupting our ability to conduct product development and other important business activities. While the restrictions and limitations noted above may be relaxed or rolled back if and when COVID-19 abates, the actions may be reinstated as the pandemic continues to evolve. The ~~June 2016 United Kingdom referendum on its membership in the EU resulted in a majority~~scope and timing of ~~United Kingdom voters voting~~any such reinstatements is difficult to ~~exit the EU (Brexit). We have operations in the United Kingdom~~predict and ~~the EU, and as a result, we face risks associated with the potential uncertainty and disruptions that~~ may ~~follow Brexit, including with respect to volatility in exchange rates and interest rates and potential material changes to the regulatory regime applicable to~~materially affect our operations in the ~~United Kingdom. Brexit could adversely affect European or worldwide political, regulatory, economic or market conditions and could contribute~~future.

For more information, please see note 24 "Subsequent Events" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and "Outlook for remainder of Fiscal 2020" in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may also affect our business, operations or financial performance in a manner that is not presently known to us. We are closely monitoring the potential adverse effects and impact on our operations, businesses and financial performance, including liquidity and capital usage, though the extent of the impact is difficult to fully predict at this time due to the rapid evolution of this uncertain situation.

We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Carbonite or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected.

We may be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the business practices and operations of OpenText and Carbonite. As we continue to integrate, we may experience disruptions to our business and, if implemented ineffectively, it could restrict the realization of the full expected benefits. The failure to meet the challenges

involved in the integration process and to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Carbonite could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, our operations and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, as we continue the integration of Carbonite, it may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, charges, liabilities, competitive responses, loss of customers and other business relationships, and diversion of management’s attention. Additional integration challenges may include:

Difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects from the acquisition;

Difficulties in the integration of operations and systems, including pricing and marketing strategies, which may hurt the sale of hybrid backup solutions which are sensitive to price; and

Difficulties in conforming standards, controls, procedures and accounting and other policies, business cultures and compensation structures.

Many of these factors will be outside of our control and any one of them could result in increased costs, including restructuring charges, decreases in the amount of expected revenues and diversion of management’s time and energy, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be unable to maintain or expand our base of SMB and professional consumer customers, which could adversely affect our anticipated future growth and operating ~~results and financial condition.~~

Item 5. Other Matters

COVID-19 Restructuring Plan

On April 29, 2020, our Board approved a restructuring plan that will impact our global workforce and execute a significant reduction in our real estate footprint around the world. We expect to incur total charges in the range of $80 million to $100 million to be recorded in our quarter ending June 30, 2020, substantially all of which will ultimately result in cash expenditures, with the plan expected to be implemented over the next six to twelve months.

The Company has made a strategic decision to move towards a significant work from home (WFH) model. As a result of COVID-19, more than 95% of our employees are currently WFH, and we are now making plans for the future return to office strategy for our nearly 15,000 employees. We currently have approximately 120 offices around the world, and our intent, over time, is to make a significant reduction in the number of offices, anticipated to be over 50% of our global offices impacting approximately 15% of our employees. Based upon our plan, we estimate that this transition can be executed over the next six to twelve months. Management has estimated cost of this restructuring to be in the range of $65 million to $80 million, including the write-off of ROU asset relating to leases, the write-off of leases and fixed assets and other related costs.
