(Tabular amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Open Text Corporation and our ~~wholly-owned and majority-owned~~ subsidiaries, collectively referred to as "OpenText" or the "Company". ~~Our majority owned~~We wholly own all of our subsidiaries ~~include~~with the exception of Open Text South Africa Proprietary Ltd. (OT South Africa), GXS, Inc. (GXS Korea) and EC1 Pte. Ltd. (GXS Singapore), which as of December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, were 90%, 85% and 81% owned, respectively, by OpenText.

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q: (i) the term “Fiscal 2016” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2016; (ii) the term “Fiscal 2015” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2014 and ~~ending~~ended June 30, 2015; ~~(ii)~~(iii) the term “Fiscal 2014” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2013 and ~~ending~~ended June 30, 2014; ~~(iii)~~and (iv) the term “Fiscal 2013” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2012 and ending June 30, ~~2013; and (iv) the term “Fiscal 2012” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2011 and ending June 30, 2012.~~2013.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.

Additionally, as a result of a two-for-one stock-split effected February 18, 2014 by way of a stock dividend, all historical per share data, number of Common Shares outstanding, and share-based compensation awards presented in the unaudited ~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~ ~~and Notes to the~~ ~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~ ~~have been presented on a post stock-split basis.~~

Use of 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. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In particular, significant estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts, (iii) testing of goodwill for impairment, (iv) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, (v) the valuation of long-lived assets, (vi) the recognition of contingencies, (vii) restructuring accruals, (viii) acquisition accruals and pre-acquisition contingencies, (ix) asset retirement obligations, (x) the realization of investment tax credits, (xi) the valuation of stock options granted and obligations related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plan, (xii) the valuation of financial instruments, (xiii) the valuation of pension assets and obligations, and (xiv) accounting for income taxes.

Reclassifications

Certain prior ~~year~~period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current ~~year's presentation. Such~~period presentation including the reclassification related to a change in the method of allocating operating expenses within the Company. As a result of such reclassifications, the following expenses have been reclassified for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 as follows:



	Three Months Ended December 31,			Six Months Ended December 31,
	2014			2014
Reclassifications within cost of revenue
Decrease to cost of revenue - Cloud services and subscriptions	$	(376	)	$	(704	)
Decrease to cost of revenue - Customer support	(117		)	(366		)
Decrease to cost of revenue - Professional services and other	(295		)	(647		)
Reclassifications within operating expenses
Decrease to operating expense - General and administrative	(182		)	(195		)
Increase to operating expense - Sales and marketing	970			1,912

Starting in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2015, we combined revenues from cloud services and revenues from subscriptions into one line item named "Cloud services and subscriptions" revenue. In addition, we reclassified certain license revenue, customer support revenue and professional services revenue to “Cloud services and subscriptions” revenue to better align the nature of revenues that are now depicted under “Cloud services and subscriptions” revenue. As a result, revenue and cost of

revenues previously reflected in "License", "Customer support" and "Professional services and other" were ~~not considered material~~reclassified to “Cloud services and ~~did not affect our consolidated total~~subscriptions”. These revenues ~~consolidated~~and expenses have been reclassified in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2014 to conform with the current period presentation as follows:



	Three Months Ended December 31,			Six Months Ended December 31,
	2014			2014
Reclassifications within revenue
Decrease to License	$	(443	)	$	(863	)

There was no change to income from operations, net income or ~~consolidated~~ net ~~income.~~income per share in any of the periods presented as a result of these reclassifications.

NOTE 2—~~ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE AND~~ RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

~~Recent Accounting Pronouncements~~

~~Disclosure of Going Concern Uncertainties:~~Financial Instruments

In ~~August 2014,~~January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) ~~No. 2014-15 "Disclosure~~2016-01 “Financial Instruments - Overall (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of ~~Uncertainties about~~Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (ASU 2016-01). This update requires that all equity investments be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). This update also requires an ~~Entity's Ability~~entity to ~~Continue~~present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. Additionally, this update eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities and eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public entities. ASU 2016-01 is effective for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-01 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (ASU 2015-17). This update eliminates the current requirement to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a ~~Going Concern" (ASU 2014-15).~~classified balance sheet. Instead, under ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management2015-17, entities will be required to ~~evaluate~~classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. ASU 2015-17 is effective for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. We are still evaluating whether ~~there~~to early adopt this guidance. We expect adoption will cause significant balance sheet reclassifications.

Business Combinations - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16 “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments” (ASU 2015-16). This update amended Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805 “Business Combinations” to simplify the presentation of adjustments to the initial purchase price allocation identified during the measurement period of a business combination. ASU 2015-16 requires that the acquirer record, in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are ~~conditions~~determined, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization or ~~events that raise substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue~~their income effects, if any, as a ~~going concern within one~~result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. An entity must present separately on the face of the income statement, or disclose in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 eliminates the requirement to retrospectively account for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination. ASU 2015-16 is

effective for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 is not expected to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" (ASU 2015-03). This update amended the ASC Subtopic 835-30, "Interest - Imputation of Interest" to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the ~~date~~carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the ~~financial statements are issued.~~amendments in this update. ASU ~~2014-15~~2015-03 is effective for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, with early adoption permitted. ~~We do not believe the pending~~The adoption of ASU ~~2014-15 will~~2015-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our ~~consolidated financial statements.~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606” (ASU 2014-09). This update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ~~Accounting Standard Codification (ASC)~~ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition" and nearly all other existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 identifies five steps to be followed to achieve this core principal, which includes (i) identifying contract(s) with customers, (ii) identifying performance obligations in the ~~contract,~~contract(s), (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s) and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In August 2015 the FASB voted to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 isfor one year. The new guidance will now be effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, ~~2018.~~2019. Early adoption, prior to the original effective date, is not permitted. When applying ASU 2014-09 we can either apply the amendments: (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09 or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined within ASU 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the ~~impact of~~effect that the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our ~~consolidated~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Although it is expected to have a significant impact on our revenue recognition policies and disclosures, we have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined when we will adopt the standard and the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial ~~statements.~~reporting.

Defined Benefit Plans

CDT Plan

CDT sponsors an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all CDT employees (CDT pension plan) which provides for old age, disability and survivors’ benefits. Benefits under the CDT pension 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. No 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 December 31, ~~2014~~,2015, there is approximately $0.2 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the CDT pension plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the next fiscal year.

GXS Germany Plan

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we acquired 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. No contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. ~~If actuarial~~Actuarial gains or losses ~~are~~ in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation ~~such gains or losses will be~~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. ~~All information presented below for~~As of December 31, 2015, there is approximately $10.0 thousand in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the GXS GER plan that is ~~presented for~~expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the ~~period indicated, starting on January 16, 2014, when such plan was assumed by us with the acquisition of GXS.~~next fiscal year.

GXS Philippines Plan

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we acquired 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 ~~had~~has a fair value of approximately ~~$36.0~~$35.0 thousand as of December 31, ~~2014~~2015, no additional contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. If actuarial gains or losses are in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation, such gains or losses will be amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan’s active employees. ~~All information presented below for the~~ ~~GXS PHP plan~~ ~~is presented for the period indicated, starting on January 16, 2014, when such plan was assumed by us with the acquisition of GXS.~~

Summary of Outstanding Stock Options

As of December 31, ~~2014~~2015, options to purchase an aggregate of ~~4,178,091~~4,257,350 Common Shares were outstanding and ~~3,402,267~~2,904,833 Common Shares were available for issuance under our stock option plans. Our stock options generally vest over four years and expire between seven and ten years from the date of the grant. Currently we also have options outstanding that vest over five years, as well as options outstanding that vest based on meeting certain market conditions. The exercise price of ~~the~~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 six months ended December 31, ~~2014~~2015 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 ~~technique~~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.

As of December 31, ~~2014~~2015, the total compensation cost related to the unvested stock option awards not yet recognized was approximately ~~$32.3~~$29.4 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 32.3 years.

No cash was used by us to settle equity instruments granted under share-based compensation arrangements.

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

For the three and six months endedDecember 31, ~~2014~~2015, cash in the amount of $2.0 million and $6.3 million, respectively, was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

We incentivize our executive officers, 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 satisfaction 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. LTIP grants that have recently vested, or have yet to vest, are described below. LTIP grants will be referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q based upon the year in which the grants are expected to ~~vest and be settled.~~vest.

~~Grants made in~~ Fiscal ~~2012 under the~~2015 LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2014 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2012 starting on February 3, 2012. Grants made under the Fiscal 2014 LTIP consisted of PSUs and the Performance Conditions for vesting relating to grants were based solely on market conditions. We met these performance conditions and settled Fiscal 2014 LTIP by issuing 355,553 Common Shares from our treasury stock, with a cost of approximately $8.5 million.

Grants made in Fiscal 2013 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2015 LTIP), took effect in Fiscal 2013 starting on November 2, 2012 for the RSUs and December 3, 2012 for the PSUs. ~~The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions.

Grants made in Fiscal 2014 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2016 LTIP) consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2014 starting on November 1, 2013. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. RSUs granted are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2016 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2016 LTIP awards in stock.

Fiscal 2017 LTIP

Grants made in Fiscal 2015 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2017 LTIP), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2015 starting on September 4, 2014. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. The RSUs are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2017 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2017 LTIP awards in stock.

Fiscal 2018 LTIP

Grants made in Fiscal 2016 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2018 LTIP), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2016 starting on August 23, 2015. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. The RSUs are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2018 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2018 LTIP awards in stock.

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.

OfDecember 31, 2015, the total expected ~~LTIP expense of $38.3 million noted in the table above, $22.6 million has been recognized to date and the remaining expected total~~ compensation cost ~~of $15.7~~related to the unvested LTIP awards not yet recognized was $17.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

Restricted Share Units (RSUs)

During the three and six months ended December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, we ~~granted 2,500 and 15,000~~did not grant any RSUs ~~respectively,~~ to ~~certain~~ employees in accordance with ~~their~~ employment ~~agreements.~~agreements (three and six months ended December 31, 2014—2,500 and 15,000, respectively).

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, we issued 5,000 Common Shares from our treasury stock, with a cost of $0.1 million, in connection with the settlement of vested RSUs.

Deferred Stock Units (DSUs)

The DSUs were issued under our Deferred Share Unit Plan. DSUs granted as compensation for directors 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.

Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP)

During the three and six months endedDecember 31, ~~2014~~,2015, cash in the amount of approximately $0.7 million and ~~$1.5~~$1.7 million, respectively, was received from employees that will be used to purchase Common Shares in future periods (three and six months ended December 31, ~~2013—~~2014—$~~0.6~~0.7 million and ~~$1.3 million)~~$1.5 million, respectively).

We recently implemented a number of amendments to our ESPP, including increasing the purchase price discount from 5% to 15% and permitting Common Shares to be purchased on the open market by the trustee of a trust, or by an agent or broker designated by an administrator, and transferred to eligible employees under the ESPP, as an alternative to the issuance of Common Shares from treasury (the Amendments). The Amendments were subsequently approved by shareholders at the annual and special meeting held on October 2, 2015, and will apply to purchase periods commencing on or after January 1, 2016 unless otherwise determined by our Board of Directors or the compensation committee of the Board.

~~See note 22 “Subsequent Events - Senior Unsecured Fixed Rate Notes and Repayment of Term Loan A” and “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”.~~

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 ~~aggregated~~estimated losses were not material to our consolidated financial position or result 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.

Contingencies

~~EasyLink Services International Corporation (EasyLink) and its~~As we have previously disclosed, the United States ~~subsidaries~~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.

As part of these examinations, (which are ongoing), on July 17, 2015 we received from the IRS a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (NOPA) in draft form proposing a one-time approximately $280 million increase to our U.S. federal taxes arising from the reorganization in Fiscal 2010 and proposing penalties equal to 20% of the additional taxes, plus interest at the applicable statutory rate (which will continue to accrue until the matter is resolved and may be substantial). A NOPA is an IRS position and does not impose an obligation to pay tax. The draft NOPA may be changed before the final NOPA is issued, including because the IRS reserved the right in the draft NOPA to increase the adjustment. Based on our discussions with the IRS, we expect we will receive an additional NOPA proposing an approximately $80 million increase to our U.S. federal taxes for Fiscal 2012 arising from the integration of Global 360 Holding Corp. into the structure that resulted from the reorganization, accompanied by proposed penalties and interest (although there can be no assurance that this will be the amount reflected in the NOPA when received). Depending upon the outcome of these matters, additional state income taxes plus penalties and interest may be due. We currently being assessed by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance for the potential applicability of telecommunications excise and franchise taxes to its New York State revenues for certain pre-acquisition EasyLink revenue. Asestimate that, as of December 31, ~~2014~~2015, adjustments under the draft NOPA in its present form and the anticipated additional NOPA could result in an aggregate liability of approximately $550 million, inclusive of U.S. federal and state taxes, penalties and interest.

We strongly disagree with the IRS’ position and intend to vigorously contest the proposed adjustments to our taxable income. We are examining various alternatives available to taxpayers to contest the proposed adjustments. 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 ~~accrued approximately $6.3 million based~~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 ~~revised estimate~~financial position and results of ~~the liability.~~operations.

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we have inherited a tax dispute in Brazil between the Company’s subsidiary, GXS Tecnologia da Informação (Brasil) Ltda. (GXS Brazil), and the municipality of São Paulo, in connection with GXS Brazil’s judicial appeal of a tax claim in the amount of ~~$2.5~~$2.0 million as of December 31, ~~2014.~~2015. We currently have in place a bank guarantee in the amount of ~~$3.4~~$3.0 million in recognition of this dispute. However, we believe that the position of the São Paulo tax authorities is not consistent with the relevant facts and based on information available on the case and other similar matters provided by local counsel, we believe that we can defend our position and that no tax is owed. Although we believe that the facts support our position, the ultimate outcome of this matter could result in a loss of up to the claim amount discussed above, plus future interest or penalties that may accrue.

to services provided by the parent company to the subject subsidiary. GXS recorded taxes on amounts billed, that were considered to be due based on the intercompany charges. GXS subsequently re-evaluated its intercompany charges to GXS Brazil and related taxes and, upon taking into consideration the current environment and judicial proceedings in Brazil, concluded that it was probable that certain indirect taxes would be assessable and payable based upon the accrual of such intercompany charges and ~~accrued~~has approximately ~~$7.5~~$4.8 million accrued for the probable amount of a settlement related to the indirect taxes, interest and penalties.

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 ~~$1.4~~$1.5 million to cover our anticipated financial exposure in this matter.

The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is examining certain of our tax returns for Fiscal 2010 through 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. These examinations may lead to proposed adjustments to our taxes, which may be material, individually or in the aggregate. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no adjustments have been proposed by the IRS, and we have not recorded any material accruals for any such potential adjustments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 14—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.

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

For the three and six months ended December 31, ~~2014~~2015, and ~~2013,~~2014, we recognized the following amounts as income tax-related interest expense and penalties:


	Three Months Ended December 31,						Six Months Ended December 31,					Three Months Ended December 31,						Six Months Ended December 31,
	2014			2013			2014			2013		2015			2014			2015			2014
Interest expense	1,507			1,904			$	3,511		$	4,232	$	1,195		$	1,507		$	2,972		$	3,511
Penalties expense (recoveries)	(343		)	(78		)	(295		)	160		(2,596		)	(343		)	(2,726		)	(295		)
Total	$	1,164		$	1,826		$	3,216		$	4,392	$	(1,401	)	$	1,164		$	246		$	3,216

As of December 31, ~~2014~~2015 and June 30, ~~2014~~2015, the following amounts have been accrued on account of income tax-related interest expense and penalties:


	As of December 31, 2014		As of June 30, 2014		As of December 31, 2015		As of June 30, 2015
Interest expense accrued *	$	29,048	$	26,235	$	30,753	$	28,827
Penalties accrued *	$	6,856	$	7,858	$	1,756	$	5,040


*	These balances have been 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 December 31, ~~2014~~2015, could decrease tax expense in the next 12 months by ~~$25.9~~$5.4 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. ~~Tax~~The earliest fiscal years ~~that remain~~ open ~~to tax audits by local taxing authorities vary by jurisdiction up to~~ ~~ten years~~.for examination are 2008 for both Canada and Germany, 2010 for the United States, and 2011for Luxembourg.

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, Spain, Germany, India, ~~Japan~~the Netherlands and ~~the Netherlands.~~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 audits are included in note 13.

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 13.

As at December 31, ~~2014~~2015, we have provided ~~$8.5~~$12.8 million (June 30, ~~2014—~~2015—$~~7.6~~12.1 million) in respect of both additional foreign withholding 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 Luxembourg subsidiaries, that will be subject to withholding taxes upon distribution. 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 ~~GAAP~~ tax rate (which is the provision for taxes expressed as a percentage of net income before taxes) decreased to 4.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to 19.7% for the three months ended December 31, ~~2014, from 23.7% for~~2014. The decrease to tax expense of $14.2 million is primarily the ~~three months ended December 31, 2013, primarily due to a decrease~~result of (i) variances in income among jurisdictions, resulting in the ~~net change in valuation allowance~~impact of foreign rates in the amount of ~~$0.8~~$8.8 million, and (ii) a decrease in the net expense of unrecognized tax benefits with related interest and penalties in the amount of ~~$0.6 million, and a decrease~~$11.7 million. These impacts were partially offset by an increase in ~~the impact of adjustments on filing of tax returns~~valuation allowance in the amount of ~~$2.1~~$1.8 million, tax filings in excess of amounts previously booked of $1.9 million and additional accruals in respect of future distributions from foreign subsidiaries of $1.2 million. The remainder of the differences are due to normal course movements and non-material items.

The effective ~~GAAP~~ tax rate ~~(which is~~decreased to 10.6% for the ~~provision for taxes expressed as a percentage of income before taxes) decreased~~six months ended December 31, 2015, compared to 20.4% for the six months ended December 31, ~~2014, from 29.7% for~~2014. The decrease to tax expense of $20.4 million is primarily the ~~six months ended December 31, 2013, primarily due to a decrease in the~~result of (i) lower net ~~change in valuation allowance in the amount~~income, having an impact of ~~$2.8~~$14.1 million, and (ii) a decrease in the net expense of unrecognized tax benefits with related interest and penalties in the amount of ~~$1.8 million, and a decrease~~$13.9 million. These impacts were partially offset by an increase in ~~the impact of adjustments on filing of tax returns~~valuation allowance in the amount of ~~$2.4~~$3.1 million, tax filings in excess of amounts previously booked of $2.0 million and additional accruals in respect of future distributions from foreign subsidiaries of $1.1 million. The remainder of the differences are due to normal course movements and non-material items.

NOTE 15—FAIR VALUE ~~MEASUREMENTS~~MEASUREMENT

ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value ~~Measurements and Disclosures”~~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 December 31, ~~2014~~2015 and June 30, ~~2014:~~2015:

*~~Marketable securities relate to our investment~~These assets in ~~Actuate Corporation, a company we acquired on January 16, 2015. For more details relating to this acquisition see note 22 "Subsequent Events - Acquisition of Actuate Corporation".~~

~~Our valuation technique used to measure~~ the ~~fair values of our marketable securities were derived from~~table above are classified as Level 2 as certain specific assets included within may not have quoted ~~market~~ prices asthat are readily accessible in an active market ~~for these securities exist.~~ or we may have relied on alternative pricing methods that do not rely exclusively on quoted prices to determine the fair value of the investments.

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 ~~the derivative~~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.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the three and six months ended December 31, ~~2014~~2015 and ~~2013,~~2014, no indications of impairment were identified and therefore no fair value measurements were required.

If applicable, we will recognize transfers ~~into and out of~~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 six months ended December 31, ~~2014~~2015 and ~~2013,~~2014, we did not have any transfers ~~in or out of~~between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

Short-term Investments

Short-term investments are classified as available for sale securities and are recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

A summary of our short-term investments outstanding as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 is as follows:



	As of December 31, 2015									As of June 30, 2015

NOTE 16—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We are engaged in hedging programs with ~~Canadian chartered~~relationship 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 ~~derivative instruments~~foreign currency forward contracts to hedge portions of our payroll ~~exposure.~~exposure with typical maturities of between one and twelve months. We do not use ~~these forward contracts~~derivatives for ~~trading or~~ speculative purposes. ~~These forward contracts typically mature between one and twelve months.~~

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 December 31, ~~2014~~2015, is recorded within “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”.

As of December 31, ~~2014~~2015, the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was ~~$49.8~~$57.3 million (June 30, ~~2014~~2015—$~~99.6~~76.4 million).

~~OpenText/GXS~~Fiscal 2015 Restructuring Plan

In the third quarter of Fiscal ~~2014~~2015 and in the context of the acquisition of ~~GXS,~~Actuate Corporation (Actuate), we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (OpenText/~~GXS~~Actuate Restructuring Plan). We subsequently announced, on May 20, 2015 that we were initiating a restructuring program in conjunction with organizational changes to

support our cloud strategy and drive further operational efficiencies. These charges are combined with the OpenText/Actuate Restructuring Plan (collectively referred to as the Fiscal 2015 Restructuring Plan) and are presented below. The Fiscal 2015 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 December 31, ~~2014~~,2015, we expect total costs to be incurred in conjunction with the ~~OpenText/GXS~~Fiscal 2015 Restructuring Plan to be approximately ~~$30.0~~$32.0 to $35.0 million, of which ~~$23.5~~$29.3 million has already been recorded within Special charges to date. We expect the ~~OpenText/GXS~~Fiscal 2015 Restructuring Plan to be substantially completed by the end of ~~our current fiscal year.~~Fiscal 2016.

OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan

In the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 and in the context of the acquisition of GXS, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan). These charges relate to workforce reductions, facility consolidations and other miscellaneous direct costs. 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.

Since the inception of the plan $25.3 million has been recorded within Special charges. We do not expect to incur any further significant charges related to this plan.

~~Included within "Other charges"~~NOTE 18—ACQUISITIONS

Fiscal 2016 Acquisitions

Acquisition of Daegis Inc.

On November 23, 2015, we acquired Daegis Inc. (Daegis), a global information governance, data migration solutions and development company, based in Irvine, Texas, United States. Total consideration for Daegis was $23.3 million ($22.1 million - net of cash acquired). In accordance with Topic 805 "Business Combinations" (Topic 805), this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. We believe this acquisition enables OpenText to strengthen our current information governance capabilities.

The finalization of the purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the fair value for taxation-related balances, intangible assets and for potential unrecorded liabilities.

Acquisition-related costs for Daegis included in Special charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended December 31, ~~2013 is a~~2015 were $0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

The results of operations of Daegis have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning November 23, 2015.

The acquisition had no significant impact on revenues and net ~~recovery of nil~~earnings for the three and $3.8 million, respectively, relating to a reduction of certain pre-acquisition tax liabilities, including related interest. This recovery was offset by a charge of $1.4 million relating to a settlement agreement reached in connection with the acquisition of IXOS Software AG in February 2004.

Acquisition of Informative Graphics Corporation

On January 2, 2015, we acquired Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC), based in Scottsdale, Arizona, United States. IGC was a leading developer of viewing, annotation, redaction and publishing commercial software. Total consideration for IGC was $40.0 million ($38.7 million - net of cash acquired), of which $36.5 million was paid in cash, and $3.5 million was held back and unpaid as of December 31, 2015 in accordance with the purchase agreement. On January 19, 2016, we paid and released the amount held back. In accordance with Topic 805, this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

NOTE 20—EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income, attributable to OpenText, by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income, attributable to OpenText, by the shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share plus the dilutive effect of Common Share equivalents, such as stock options, using the treasury stock method. Common Share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 21—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 our Board and the transaction be approved by a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Board 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 determining whether to approve a related party transaction, the Board 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 six months ended December 31, ~~2014~~,2015, Mr. Stephen Sadler, a director, earned ~~$10~~$17.5 thousand ~~(six months ended~~ (December 31, ~~2013~~—2014—$~~0.2 million)~~10.0 thousand) in consulting fees from OpenText for assistance with acquisition-related business activities. Mr. Sadler abstained from voting on all transactions from which he would potentially derive consulting fees.

NOTE 22—SUBSEQUENT ~~EVENTS~~EVENT

~~Senior Unsecured Fixed Rate Notes and Repayment of Term Loan A~~

On January 15, 2015, we issued $800.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 in a private placement to initial purchasers in connection with offerings pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The notes bear interest at a rate of 5.625% per annum and are payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15, commencing on July 15, 2015. The notes will mature on January 15, 2023, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased.

On January 15, 2015, we used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering of the notes to repay in full the outstanding Term Loan A. We have added the remaining net proceeds of the offering to our cash balances for general corporate purposes, including potential future acquisitions.

~~Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement~~

On January 15, 2015, concurrently with the closing of the offering of the notes and effective upon the repayment in full of Term Loan A, using a portion of the net proceeds of the offering, the 2011 Credit Agreement was amended and restated to, among other things, remove the provisions related to Term Loan A and modify certain provisions related to the incurrence of debt and liens and the making of acquisitions, investments and restricted payments, replace the covenants to maintain a "consolidated leverage" ratio of no more than 3:1 and a "consolidated interest coverage" ratio of 3:1 or more with a covenant to maintain a "consolidated net leverage" ratio of no more than 4:1, and make other changes, in each case, generally to conform with Term Loan B.

Cash Dividends

As part of our quarterly, non-cumulative cash dividend program, we declared, on ~~January 26, 2015,~~February 8, 2016, a dividend of ~~$0.1725~~$0.20 per Common Share. The record date for this dividend is ~~February 26, 2015~~March 10, 2016 and the payment date is March ~~19, 2015.~~31, 2016.

~~Acquisition of Informative Graphics Corporation~~

On January 2, 2015, we closed the acquisition of Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC), based in Arizona, United States, for approximately $39.1 million, net of cash acquired. IGC is a leading developer of viewing, annotation, redaction and publishing commercial software. The results of operations of IGC will be consolidated with OpenText during the third quarter of Fiscal 2015, beginning on the date of closing.

~~Acquisition of Actuate Corporation~~

On January 16, 2015, we closed the acquisition of Actuate Corporation (Actuate), based in San Francisco, California, United States, in an all cash transaction for approximately $311.5 million, net of cash acquired. Prior to the acquisition closing, we purchased shares of Actuate in the open market with a fair market value of approximately $9.5 million as of December 31, 2014. Actuate is a leader in personalized analytics and insights and we believe the acquisition will compliment our OpenText Content Suite. The results of operations of Actuate will be consolidated with OpenText during the third quarter of Fiscal 2015, beginning on the date of closing.

Acquisitions

Our competitive position in the marketplace requires us to maintain a complex and evolving array of technologies, products, services and capabilities. In light of the continually evolving marketplace in which we operate, we regularly evaluate various acquisition opportunities within the EIM market.

Acquisition of Daegis Inc.

On November 23, 2015, we acquired Daegis Inc. (Daegis), a global information governance, data migration solutions and development company, based in Irvine, Texas, United States. Total consideration for Daegis was $23.3 million ($22.1 million - net of cash acquired). We believe this acquisition enables OpenText to strengthen our current information governance capabilities. The results of operations of Daegis have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning November 23, 2015.

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 increase shareholder value. We expect to continue to strategically acquire companies, products, services and technologies to augment our existing business. Our acquisitions, particularly significant ones, ~~such as GXS Group, Inc. (GXS), acquired in January 2014,~~can affect the period-to-period comparability of our results. See note 18 "Acquisitions" ~~and note 22 "Subsequent Events"~~ to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

~~Acquisition of Informative Graphics Corporation~~

On January 2, 2015, we closed the acquisition of Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC), an Arizona, United States based company for approximately $39.1 million, net of cash acquired. IGC is a leading developer of viewing, annotation, redaction and publishing commercial software. We believe this acquisition will enable OpenText to engineer solutions that further increase a user's experience within our OpenText content suite. The financial results of operations of IGC will be consolidated with Open Text's financial results during the third quarter of Fiscal 2015, beginning on the date of closing.

~~Acquisition of Actuate Corporation~~

Outlook for remainder of Fiscal ~~2015~~2016

We believe we have a strong position in the EIM market. ~~Our goal~~We look to grow our Cloud-based EIM strategy through acquisitions, innovation and with new ways to purchase our solutions, such as our subscription pricing and managed service offerings. While we continue to offer on-premises solutions, we realize the EIM market is broad and we are agnostic to ~~strengthen~~whether a customer prefers an on-premises solution, cloud solution, or combination of both (hybrid). We believe giving the customer choice and flexibility with their payment option will help us to strive to obtain long-term customer value. In addition to reviewing our ~~position in EIM~~earnings and cash flows, we measure long-term value by ~~building~~looking at our "recurring revenue", which we define as revenue from Cloud services and subscriptions, Customer support and Professional service and other. In the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, recurring revenue was $383.5 million, down 2.3% compared to the second quarter of Fiscal 2015, but up 3.7% after considering the negative impact of $23.6 million of foreign exchange. Recurring revenues represented 82.4% of our total revenues.

We believe customers are looking for more choice and flexibility on how they consume technology. We are committed to delivering our ~~leadership in ECM, BPM, CEM,~~products and ~~IX and expanding our position in Discovery.~~services to customers via multiple delivery models, including a hybrid delivery model.

Additionally, Customer support revenues, which are ~~generally~~ a recurring source of income for us, ~~and makes~~make up a significant portion of our revenue mix. ~~With~~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 three months ended December 31, 2015, our Customer support renewal rate was approximately 90%, consistent with the customer support renewal rate during the three months ended December 31, 2014.

We see an opportunity to help our customers become “digital businesses” and with our acquisition of ~~GXS, our cloud services revenue has grown and we expect cloud services revenue to continue to be a recurring and growing stream of revenue in the future. Our focus~~Actuate Corporation (Actuate) in Fiscal 2015, ~~will increasingly be on "recurring revenue",~~we believe we have acquired a strong platform to integrate personalized analytics and insights onto our OpenText EIM suites of products, which we ~~define as revenue from cloud services, customer support~~believe will further our vision to enable a “digital first world” and ~~professional service and other.~~

~~In Fiscal 2015, we recently unveiled a strategy to actively deploy~~strengthen our software through a subscription model, whereby we combine the benefits of a cloud solution with the security and control of an on-premises deployment enabling organizations to manage, exchange, and socialize enterprise informationposition among leaders in ~~an easy and scalable cloud. This would include our existing managed cloud services in the form of subscriptions and B2B managed services and also our "public cloud" services.~~EIM.

We also believe our diversified geographic profile helps strengthen our position and helps to reduce the impact of a downturn in the economy that may occur in any one specific region.

2) Cloud Services:

Cloud services and subscription revenues consist of (i) software as a service offerings (ii) managed service arrangements ~~that~~and (iii) subscription revenues relating to on premise offerings. These offerings allow our customers to make use of OpenText software, services and content over Internet enabled networks supported by OpenText data centers. These web applications allow customers to transmit a variety of content between various mediums and to securely manage enterprise information without the commitment of investing in related hardware infrastructure. Revenues are generated on several transactional usage-based models, are typically billed monthly in arrears, and can therefore fluctuate from period to period. Certain service fees are occasionally charged to customize hosted software for some customers and are either amortized over the estimated customer life, in the case of setup fees, or recognized in the period they are provided.

In addition, ~~the acquisition of GXS combines GXS' portfolio of~~we offer business-to-business (B2B) integration solutions, such as messaging services, and managed ~~services, with offerings in OpenText’s iX portfolio.~~services. Messaging services allow for the automated and reliable exchange of electronic transaction information, such as purchase orders, invoices, shipment notices and other business documents, among businesses worldwide. Managed services provide an end-to-end fully outsourced B2B integration solution to our customers, including program implementation, operational management, and customer support. These services enable customers to effectively manage the flow of electronic transaction information with their trading partners and reduce the complexity of disparate standards and communication protocols. Revenues are primarily generated through transaction processing. Transaction processing fees are recurring in nature and are recognized on a per transaction basis in the period in which the related transactions are processed. Revenues from contracts with monthly, quarterly or annual minimum transaction levels are recognized based on the greater of the actual transactions or the specified contract minimum amounts during the relevant period. Customers who are not committed to multi-year contracts generally are under contracts for transaction processing solutions that automatically renew every month or year, depending on the terms of the specific contracts.

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, amortization of customer set up and implementation costs, and some third party royalty costs.

3) Customer Support Revenues:

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. 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 Revenues:

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. These revenues 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. 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.

Acquired customer-based intangible assets amortization expense increased during the three and six months ended December 31, ~~2014~~2015 by ~~$12.9~~$2.4 million and ~~$21.5~~$4.4 million, respectively. This is primarily due to ~~the acquisition~~additions of ~~GXS during the third quarter~~new acquired customer-based intangible assets from our acquisitions of ~~Fiscal 2014,~~Daegis, Actuate and IGC, partially offset by the intangible customer-based assets pertaining to our acquisitions of ~~Hummingbird, IXOS,~~Global 360, Captaris Inc., and Vignette Corporation becoming fully amortized.

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. Generally, we implement such plans in the context of integrating existing OpenText operations with that of acquired entities. 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.

Net Other Income (Expense)

Net other income (expense) relates to certain non-operational charges consisting primarily of transactional foreign exchange gains (losses). This income (expense) is dependent upon the change in foreign currency exchange rates vis-à-vis the functional currency of the legal entity.

For more details see note 10 "Long-Term Debt" ~~and note 22 "Subsequent Events"~~ to our Condensed Consolidated Financial ~~Statements~~.Statements.

Provision for Income Taxes

We initiated an internal reorganization of our international subsidiaries in our fiscal year which began on July 1, 2009 and ended June 30, 2010 and we ~~continue to integrate~~integrated certain acquisitions into this new organizational structure, ~~where appropriate,~~ for the following reasons: 1) to consolidate our intellectual property within certain jurisdictions, 2) to effect an operational reduction of our global subsidiaries with a view to, eventually, having a single operating legal entity in each jurisdiction, 3) to better safeguard our intellectual property in jurisdictions with well established legal regimes and protections and 4) to simplify the management of our intellectual property ownership.

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 Luxembourg.

The effective ~~GAAP~~ tax rate (which is the provision for taxes expressed as a percentage of net income before taxes) decreased to 4.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to 19.7% for the three months ended December 31, ~~2014, from 23.7% for~~2014. The decrease to tax expense of $14.2 million is primarily the ~~three months ended December 31, 2013, primarily due to a decrease~~result of (i) variances in income among jurisdictions, resulting in the ~~net change in valuation allowance~~impact of foreign tax rates in the amount of ~~$0.8~~$8.8 million, and (ii) a decrease in the net expense of unrecognized tax benefits with related interest and penalties in the amount of ~~$0.6 million, and a decrease~~$11.7 million. These impacts were partially offset by an increase in ~~the impact of adjustments on filing of tax returns~~valuation allowance in the amount of ~~$2.1~~$1.8 million, tax filings in excess of amounts previously booked of $1.9 million and additional accruals in respect of future distributions from foreign subsidiaries of $1.2 million. The remainder of the differences are 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 are calculated as net income or earnings per share on a diluted basis, excluding the amortization of acquired intangible assets, other income (expense), share-based compensation, and special charges, all net of tax. Non-GAAP-based gross profit is the arithmetical sum of GAAP-based gross profit and the amortization of acquired technology-based intangible assets. Non-GAAP-based gross margin is calculated as Non-GAAP-based gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue. Non-GAAP-based income from operations is calculated as income from operations, excluding the amortization of acquired intangible assets, special charges (recoveries), and share-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP-based operating margin is calculated as Non-GAAP-based income from operations expressed as a percentage of revenue.

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 and is based upon the way the Company's management evaluates the performance of the Company's business for use in the Company's internal reports. In the course of such evaluation and for the purpose of making operating decisions, the Company's management excludes certain items from its analysis, including amortization of acquired intangible assets, special charges (recoveries), share-based compensation, other income (expense), and the taxation impact of these items. These items are excluded based upon the manner in which management evaluates the business of the Company and are not excluded in the sense that they may be used under U.S. GAAP.

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:

Also excluded are tax expense items unrelated to current period income such as changes in reserves for tax uncertainties and valuation allowance reserves, tax arising on internal reorganizations, and “book to return” adjustments for tax return filings and tax assessments (in total “adjusted expenses”). In arriving at our non-GAAP-based tax rate of 20%, we analyzed the individual adjusted expenses and took into consideration the impact of statutory tax rates from local jurisdictions incurring the expense.

(1)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of ~~share based~~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 revenue.
(4)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of Special charges (recoveries) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as Special charges are generally incurred in the periods following the relevant acquisitions and are not indicative or related to continuing operations and are therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(5)	GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based income from operations stated in dollars and operating margin stated as a percentage of revenue.
(6)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of Other income (expense) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as Other income (expense) relates primarily 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.
(7)	Adjustment relates to differences between the GAAP-based tax provision ~~(recovery)~~rate of approximately 11% and a ~~Non-GAAP-based~~non-GAAP-based tax ~~rate;~~rate of 20%; these rate differences are due to the income tax effects of expenses that are excluded for the purpose of calculating ~~Non-GAAP-based~~non-GAAP-based adjusted net income. Such excluded expenses include amortization, share-based compensation, special charges and other income (expense), net. Also excluded are tax expense items unrelated to current period income such as changes in reserves for tax uncertainties and valuation allowance reserves, tax arising on internal reorganizations, and “book to return” adjustments for tax return filings and tax assessments (in total “adjusted expenses”). In arriving at our non-GAAP-based tax rate of 20%, 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 deposits held at major banks with original maturities of 90 days or less.

We 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, potential acquisitions under our normal course issuer bid, and operating needs for the next 12 months. However, 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.

~~We do not~~As at December 31, 2015, we have ~~any material restrictions on repatriation~~provided $12.8 million (June 30, 2015—$12.1 million) in respect of ~~cash~~both additional foreign withholding 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 ~~foreign~~certain United States and Luxembourg subsidiaries, ~~nor do we expect~~that will be subject to withholding taxes ~~on repatriation of cash held in foreign subsidiaries to have a material effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.~~upon distribution.

Cash flows provided by operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$107.3~~$31.4 million due to ~~an increase~~a decrease in net income before the impact of non-cash items of ~~$93.9~~$5.6 million and ~~an increase~~a decrease in changes from working capital of ~~$13.4~~$25.8 million. The decrease in operating cash flow from changes in working capital of $25.8 million is primarily due to the net impact of the following changes: (i) $29.3 million relating to a higher accounts receivable balance, (ii) $15.9 million relating to a higher deferred revenue balance, and (iii) $11.3 million relating to the net impact of changes in income taxes payable and deferred charges and credits. These decreases were partially offset by the net impact of the following changes: (i) $22.5 million relating to a higher accounts payable and accrued liabilities balance, (ii) $6.9 million due to a lower other assets balance, and (iii) $1.3 million due to a lower prepaid and other current assets balance.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2016 our Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) was 54 days compared to a DSO of 50 days during the second quarter of Fiscal 2015 and the per day impact of our DSO in the second quarters of Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2015 on our cash flows was $3.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

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 ~~$4.9~~$2.9 million. This is primarily due to ~~incremental~~(i) the purchase consideration for Daegis in the amount of $22.1 million, (ii) a payment of $7.7 million relating to Actuate equity-based liabilities that were accrued for but unpaid at the time of acquisition, and (iii) a payment of $2.0 million relating to an amount previously held back on a prior period acquisition in accordance with the terms of the agreement. These increases were partially offset by (i) a decrease in additions to property and equipment of ~~$28.0~~$18.4 million, ~~and~~(ii) a ~~$7.5 million increase~~decrease in other investing activities ~~offset by the impact~~ of $4.8 million, primarily due the purchase ~~consideration for our~~of shares of Actuate in the open market prior to the date of acquisition ~~of Cordys Holding B.V.~~ in the first quarter of Fiscal ~~2014.~~2015, and (iii) proceeds of $5.3 million received from the maturity of short-term investments.

Cash flows from 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 used in financing activities increased by ~~$11.2~~$60.1 million. This is primarily due to (i) the repurchase of approximately 1.5 million Common Shares for approximately $65.5 million under our Share Repurchase Plan, (ii) the repurchase of approximately 0.2 million Common Shares for approximately $10.6 million for potential reissuance under our Long Term Incentive Plans (LTIP) or other plans, and (iii) a ~~$7.7 million increase in principal payments on our credit facilities, and a $6.6~~$5.4 million increase in dividend payments made to our shareholders. Additionally, we incurred approximately $1.1 million in debt issuance costs associated with the second amendment to the 2011 Credit Agreement (as defined below) (see note 7 "Other Assets", note 10 "Long-term Debt" and note 22 "Subsequent Events" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).TheseThese increases were partially offset by a ~~$3.7 million increase~~reduction in ~~cash collected from the issuance~~principal payments on our credit facilities of ~~Common Shares.~~$22.8 million.

Cash Dividends

During the three and six months ended December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, we declared and paid cash dividends of ~~$0.1725~~$0.20 per Common Share and ~~$0.3450~~$0.40 per Common Share, respectively, that totaled ~~$21.1~~$24.2 million and ~~$42.1~~$47.5 million, respectively. Future

declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination and discretion of our Board of Directors.

Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities

~~Term Loan A and Revolver~~Senior Unsecured Fixed Rate Notes

~~As of December 31, 2014, one of our credit facilities consisted of a~~ ~~$600 million~~ ~~term loan facility (Term Loan A) and a~~ ~~$300 million~~ committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver), together defined as the "2011 Credit Agreement". Borrowings under Term Loan A and the Revolver are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets, and as of January 16, 2014, on a pari passu basis with Term Loan B (as defined below). We entered into this credit facility and borrowed the full amount under Term Loan A on November 9, 2011.

On December 22, 2014, we entered into a second amendment to the 2011 Credit Agreement (the Second Amendment) whereby the 2011 Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) increase the total commitments under the Revolver to $300 million from $100 million, (ii) reduce the interest rate margin for the Revolver, (iii) extend the maturity date of the Revolver to December 22, 2019, (iv) make certain technical and other amendments to the 2011 Credit Agreement and (v) provide for the further amendment and restatement of the 2011 Credit Agreement in the event of certain circumstances and the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent (which were satisfied upon the repayment of Term Loan A). The Revolver will mature on December 22, 2019 with no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. As of ~~December 31, 2014, we have not drawn any amounts on the Revolver.~~

On January 15, 2015, we ~~used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering~~issued $800 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 ~~(the notes)~~(Senior Notes) in an unregistered offering to ~~repay~~qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain persons in ~~full~~offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the ~~outstanding Term Loan A. On~~Securities Act. Senior Notes bear 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. Senior Notes will mature on January 15, 2023, unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms, or repurchased.

We may redeem all or a portion of Senior Notes at any time prior to January 15, 2018 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Senior Notes plus an applicable premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, we may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes, on one or more occasions, prior to January 15, 2018, using the net proceeds from certain qualified equity offerings at a redemption price of 105.625% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, subject to compliance with certain conditions. We may, on one or more occasion, redeem Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on and after January 15, 2018 at the applicable redemption prices set forth in the indenture, dated as of January 15, 2015, ~~concurrently with~~among the ~~closing~~Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, Citibank, N.A., as U.S. trustee, and Citi Trust Company Canada, as Canadian Trustee (the Indenture), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

If we experience one of the ~~offering~~kinds of changes of control triggering events specified in the Indenture, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the ~~notes~~principal amount of Senior Notes, plus accrued and ~~effective upon~~unpaid interest, if any, to the ~~repayment in full~~date of ~~Term Loan A with a portion~~purchase.

The Indenture contains covenants that limit our and certain of ~~the net proceeds of the offering, the 2011 Credit Agreement was amended and restated as described in the Second Amendment~~our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other ~~things, remove the provisions related to Term Loan A and modify~~things: (i) create certain ~~provisions related to the incurrence of debt and~~ liens and enter into sale and lease-back transactions; (ii) create, assume, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness of the ~~making~~Company or the subsidiary guarantors without such subsidiary becoming a subsidiary guarantor of ~~acquisitions, investments~~Senior Notes; and ~~restricted payments, replace~~(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 ~~covenants~~Indenture. The 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 ~~maintain~~be due and payable immediately.

Senior Notes are initially guaranteed on a ~~“consolidated leverage” ratio of no more than 3:1~~senior unsecured basis by our existing and ~~a “consolidated interest coverage” ratio of 3:1~~future wholly-owned subsidiaries that borrow or ~~more with a covenant to maintain a “consolidated net leverage” ratio of no more than 4:1,~~guarantee the obligations under the Revolver and ~~make other changes, in each case, generally to conform with~~ Term Loan B ~~as further described below. As~~(each defined below). Senior Notes and the guarantees rank equally in right of ~~December 31, 2014~~,payment with all of our ~~consolidated leverage ratio was 2.1:1~~ and our ~~consolidated interest coverage ratio was 14.5:1.~~

The foregoing description of the ~~amendment and restatement as described in the Second Amendment~~Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ~~Second Amendment,~~Indenture, which is filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on ~~December 23, 2014.~~January 15, 2015.

~~For more details relating to our Term Loan A, see note 10 "Long-Term Debt" and note 22 "Subsequent Events" to our~~ ~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~.

Term Loan B

In connection with the acquisition of GXS, on January 16, 2014, we entered into a second credit facility, which provides for a $800 million term loan facility with certain lenders named therein, Barclays Bank PLC (Barclays), as sole administrative agent and collateral agent, and with Barclays and RBC Capital Markets as lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (Term Loan B). Repayments made under Term Loan B are equal to 0.25% of the original 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 ~~Term Loan A (prior to the repayment of Term Loan A) and~~ the Revolver. We entered into Term Loan B and borrowed the full amount of $800 million on January 16, 2014. Term Loan B has a seven year term.

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 determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the prime rate of Barclays, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum and (iii) the one month eurodollar rate plus 1.00% per annum. The applicable margin for borrowings under Term Loan B will be 2.5% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 1.5% with respect to ABR rate borrowings.

Currently we have chosen for our borrowings under Term Loan B to bear a floating rate of interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.5% plus the higher of LIBOR or 0.75%. As of December 31, ~~2014~~,2015, the interest rate was 3.25%.

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 December 31, ~~2014~~,2015, our consolidated net leverage ratio was ~~1.2:~~1.4:1.

For further details relating to our Term Loan B, please see note 10 "Long-Term Debt" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~Mortgage~~Revolver

We currently have ~~an "open" mortgage with~~ a ~~bank where we can pay all or a portion of~~$300 million committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver). Borrowings under the ~~mortgage on or before~~ ~~August 1, 2015. The original principal amount of the mortgage was Canadian~~ ~~$15.0 million~~ ~~and interest accrues monthly at a variable rate of Canadian prime plus~~ ~~0.50%. Principal and interest~~Revolver are ~~payable in monthly installments of Canadian~~ ~~$0.1 million~~ ~~with a final lump sum principal payment due on maturity. The mortgage is~~ secured by a ~~lien on our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. We entered into this mortgage in December 2005. As of~~ ~~December 31, 2014, the carrying value of the mortgage was~~ ~~$8.5 million. As of~~ ~~December 31, 2014, the carrying value of the Waterloo building that secures the mortgage was~~ ~~$15.5 million~~.

~~Senior Unsecured Fixed Rate Notes and Repayment of Term Loan A~~

~~On January 15, 2015, we issued $800.0 million in aggregate principal amount~~first charge over substantially all of our ~~5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 in a private placement to initial purchasers in connection with offerings pursuant to Rule 144A~~assets, and Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes bear 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 notes will mature on January 15, 2023, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased.

We may redeem all or a portion of the notes at any time prior to January 15, 2018 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus an applicable premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, we may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes, on one or more occasions, prior to January 15, 2018, using the net proceeds from certain qualified equity offerings at a redemption price of 105.625% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, subject to compliance with certain conditions. We may, on one or more occasion, redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time on and after January 15, 2018 at the applicable redemption prices set forth in the indenture, dated as of January 15, 2015, among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, Citibank, N.A., as U.S. trustee, and Citi Trust Company Canada, as Canadian Trustee (the Indenture), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

If we experience one of the kinds of changes of control triggering events specified in the Indenture, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

The Indenture contains covenants that limit our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: (i) create certain liens and enter into sale 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 the notes; 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 Indenture. The 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.

~~The notes are initially guaranteed~~ on a ~~senior unsecured~~pari passu basis ~~by our existing and future wholly-owned subsidiaries that borrow or guarantee the obligations under the Revolver and~~with Term Loan B. The ~~notes~~Revolver will mature on December 22, 2019 with no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. As of December 31, 2015, we have not drawn any amounts on the Revolver.

Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP)

In order to encourage further participation by eligible employees in the ESPP, we implemented a number of amendments to our ESPP, including increasing the purchase price discount from 5% to 15% and permitting Common Shares to be purchased on the ~~guarantees rank equally in right~~open market by the trustee of ~~payment with all~~a trust, or by an agent or broker designated by an administrator, and transferred to eligible employees under the ESPP, as an alternative to the issuance of ~~our~~Common Shares from treasury (the Amendments). The Amendments were subsequently approved by shareholders at the annual and ~~our subsidiary guarantors’ existing and future senior unsubordinated debt~~special meeting held on October 2, 2015, and will ~~rank senior~~apply to purchase periods commencing on or after January 1, 2016 unless otherwise determined by our Board of Directors or the compensation committee of the Board.

Share Repurchase Plan

On July 28, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200 million of Common Shares (Share Repurchase Plan). Shares may be repurchased from time to time in ~~right~~the open market, private purchases through forward, derivative, accelerated repurchase or automatic repurchase transactions or otherwise.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, we repurchased and cancelled approximately 0.3 million and 1.5 million, respectively, Common Shares for approximately $15.5 million and $65.5 million, respectively, under our Share Repurchase Plan (three and six months ended December 31, 2014—nil). Of the $65.5 million repurchased, $55.7 million was recorded to retained earnings to reflect the difference between the market price of ~~payment to all~~Common Shares repurchased and its book value.

As of our and our subsidiary guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The notes and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all of ours and our guarantors’ existing and future secured debt, including the obligationsDecember 31, 2015, approximately $134.5 million remained available for repurchase under the ~~Revolver and Term Loan B, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such secured debt.~~

The foregoing description of the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 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.Share Repurchase Plan.

Shelf Registration Statement

In response to the demand and piggyback registration requests we received pursuant to the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of GXS, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the Shelf Registration Statement) with the SEC, which became effective automatically. The Shelf Registration Statement allows for primary and secondary ~~offering~~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 prospectus qualifying the distribution of such securities was also filed with certain Canadian securities regulators. 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 such Canadian securities regulators.

Pensions

As of December 31, ~~2014~~,2015, our total unfunded pension plan obligations were ~~$66.9~~$56.4 million,, of which ~~$1.6~~$1.5 million is payable within the next 12 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.

See note 10 "Long-Term Debt" ~~and note 22 "Subsequent Events"~~ to our Condensed Consolidated Financial ~~Statements~~.Statements.

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~~.Statements.

Litigation

We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.

Contingencies

As part of these examinations, (which are ongoing), on July 17, 2015 we received from the IRS a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (“NOPA”) in draft form proposing a one-time approximately $280 million increase to our U.S. federal taxes arising from the reorganization in Fiscal 2010 and proposing penalties equal to 20% of the additional taxes, plus interest at the applicable statutory rate (which will continue to accrue until the matter is resolved and may be substantial). A NOPA is an IRS position and does not impose an obligation to pay tax. The draft NOPA may be changed before the final NOPA is issued, including because the IRS reserved the right in the draft NOPA to increase the adjustment. Based on our discussions with the IRS, we expect we will receive an additional NOPA proposing an approximately $80 million increase to our U.S. federal taxes for Fiscal 2012 arising from the integration of Global 360 Holding Corp. into the structure that resulted from the reorganization, accompanied by proposed penalties and interest (although there can be no assurance that this will be the amount reflected in the NOPA when received). Depending upon the outcome of these matters, additional state income taxes plus penalties and interest may be due. We currently being assessed by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance for the potential applicability of telecommunications excise and franchise taxes to its New York State revenues for certain pre-acquisition EasyLink revenue. Asestimate that, as of December 31, ~~2014~~2015, adjustments under the draft NOPA in its present form and the anticipated additional NOPA could result in an aggregate liability of approximately $550 million, inclusive of U.S. federal and state taxes, penalties and interest.

Historically, prior to our acquisition of GXS, GXS would charge certain costs to its subsidiaries, including GXS Brazil, primarily based on historical transfer pricing studies that were intended to reflect the costs incurred by subsidiaries in relation to services provided by the parent company to the subject subsidiary. GXS recorded taxes on amounts billed, that were considered to be due based on the intercompany charges. GXS subsequently re-evaluated its intercompany charges to GXS Brazil and related taxes and, upon taking into consideration the current environment and judicial proceedings in Brazil, concluded that it was probable that certain indirect taxes would be assessable and payable based upon the accrual of such

intercompany charges and ~~accrued~~has approximately ~~$7.5~~$4.8 million accrued for the probable amount of a settlement related to the indirect taxes, interest and penalties.

Please also see "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for ~~our fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.~~Fiscal 2015.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not enter into off-balance sheet financing as a matter of practice except for 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.

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 and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest rate risk

Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations relate primarily to our Term Loan ~~A and Term Loan~~ B.

As of December 31, ~~2014~~,2015, we had an outstanding balance of ~~$491.3 million on Term Loan A. Term Loan A bears a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus a fixed amount, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. As of~~ ~~December 31, 2014~~, this fixed amount was 2.5%. An adverse change of one percent on the interest rate would have the effect of increasing our annual interest payment on Term Loan A by approximately $4.9 million, assuming that the loan balance as of December 31, 2014 is outstanding for the entire period.

~~As of~~ ~~December 31, 2014, we had an outstanding balance of $792.0~~$784.0 million on Term Loan B. Term Loan B bears a floating interest rate of 2.5% plus the higher of LIBOR or 0.75%. As of December 31, ~~2014~~,2015, 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 ~~$7.9~~$7.8 million, assuming that the loan balance as of December 31, ~~2014~~2015 is outstanding for the entire period.

At June 30, ~~2014,~~2015, an adverse change of one percent would have had the effect of increasing our annual interest payments on Term Loan ~~A and Term Loan~~ B by approximately ~~$5.1~~$7.9 million, ~~and $8.0 million, respectively,~~ assuming that the loan ~~balances were~~balance was outstanding for the entire period.

On January 15, 2015, we used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering of the notes to repay in full the outstanding Term Loan A. See notes 22 "Subsequent Events" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 at December 31, ~~2014~~,2015, a one cent change in the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate would have caused a change of approximately ~~$0.5~~$0.6 million in the mark to market on our existing foreign exchange forward contracts.

At June 30, ~~2014,~~2015, a one cent change in the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate would have caused a change of approximately ~~$1.1~~$0.8 million in the mark to market on our existing foreign exchange forward contracts.

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~~)Sheets).

The following table shows our cash and cash equivalents denominated in certain major foreign currencies as of December 31, ~~2014~~2015 (equivalent in U.S. dollar):


(In thousands)	U.S. Dollar Equivalent at December 31, 2014		U.S. Dollar Equivalent at June 30, 2014		U.S. Dollar Equivalent at December 31, 2015		U.S. Dollar Equivalent at June 30, 2015

Canadian Dollar	13,923		6,182		22,452		21,358
Swiss Franc	4,215		11,735		17,947		12,364
Other foreign currencies	53,546		60,791		60,507		55,996
Total cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies	203,914		188,989		323,109		243,763
U.S. dollar	338,896		238,901		402,854		456,236
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	542,810	$	427,890	$	725,963	$	699,999

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 ~~$20.4~~$32.3 million (June 30, ~~2014—~~2015—$~~18.9 million~~)24.4 million).

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 December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, 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 December 31, ~~2014~~2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
