Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting:Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments:In MarchJune 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade accounts receivable, upon initial recognition of that financial asset. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses when the fair value is below the amortized cost of the asset, removing the concept of “other-than-temporary” impairments. The effective date for the Company will be January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting:In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which is intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payments transactions, including accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The effective date for the Company will be January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Leases:In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets, recognizing a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The effective date for the Company will be January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company currently expects that most of its operating lease commitments will be subject to this ASU and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption.

Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes:In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.” The guidance requires that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The effective date for the Company will be January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers:In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. This ASU amends the guidance for revenue recognition to replace numerous, industry-specific requirements and converges areas under this topic with those of the International Financial Reporting Standards. This ASU implements a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards. This ASU also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. Other major provisions include ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain

circumstances. This ASU originally had an effective date for the Company of January 1, 2017. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Deferral of the Effective Date,” which defers the effective date by one year while providing the option to adopt the standard on the original effective date. In addition, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, ASU No. 2016-10, and ASU No. 2016-12 in March 2016, April 2016, and May 2016, respectively, to help provide interpretive clarifications on the new guidance in ASC Topic 606. The effective date for these ASUs for the Company will be January 1, 2018. The Company has not yet selected a transitionthe full retrospective method and is currently evaluating theits effect that these ASUs will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company considers debt securities with maturities of three months or less from the purchase date to be cash equivalents. Interest is recorded when earned. All of the Company’s investments are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses considered to be temporary in nature are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related income taxes. The Company reviews all investments for reductions in fair value that are other-than-temporary. When such reductions occur, the cost of the investment is adjusted to fair value through recording a loss on investments in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses on investments are calculated on the basis of specific identification. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2016, the Company did not hold any investments with unrealized losses that are considered to be other-than-temporary.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2016, remaining maturities of marketable debt securities ranged from AugustOctober 2016 to August 2019, with a weighted-average remaining maturity of approximately 1716 months.

4. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

4.DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts (“forward contracts”) to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its foreign currency denominated cash, accounts receivable, and intercompany receivables and payables held by its U.S. operatingparent company and United Kingdom (“U.K.”) subsidiary.

The Company is primarily exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the U.S. dollar, the Euro, and the Australian dollar relative to the British pound and the Euro and the Indian rupee relative to the U.S. dollar. At the end of June 2016, the U.K. held a referendum in which U.K. voters approved an exit from the European Union (the “E.U.”), commonly referred to as “Brexit”. The announcement of Brexit resulted in a sharp decline in the value of the British pound, as compared to the U.S. dollar and other currencies. This decline primarily resulted in foreign currency transaction lossesgains from the remeasurement of U.S. dollar-denominated liabilitiesforeign currency denominated cash and accounts receivable held by the Company’s U.K. subsidiary and majority of the unrealized loss from the change in fair value ofwith corresponding losses on the Company’s forward contracts.contracts included in other expense, net.

The forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. As a result, the Company records the fair value of these contracts at the end of each reporting period in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as other current assets for unrealized gains and accrued expenses for unrealized losses, with any fluctuations in the value of these contracts recognized in other expense, net, in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The cash flows related to these forward contracts are classified as operating activities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company does not enter into any forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total notional amount of the Company’s outstanding forward contracts was $155.8$106.6 million and $32.3 million, respectively.

The fair value of the Company’s outstanding forward contracts was as follows:

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

5.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company records its marketable securities and forward contracts at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for classifying the fair value measurements, a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which classifies the fair value measurements based on the inputs used in measuring fair value, was established as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (Level 2) significant other inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) significant unobservable inputs on which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

The Company’s money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s investments classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued based on a market approach using quoted prices, when

available, or matrix pricing compiled by third party pricing vendors, using observable market inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, and credit risk. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts, which are all classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, are valued based on the notional amounts and rates under the contracts and observable market inputs such as currency exchange rates and credit risk. If applicable, the Company will recognize transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the actual event or change in circumstance occurs. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016.

The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following:

8. ACQUISITION

8.ACQUISITION

On April 11, 2016, the Company acquired OpenSpan, Inc. (“OpenSpan”), a privately held software provider of robotic process automation and workforce analytics software for $48.8 million in cash, net of $1.8 million in cash acquired. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2016, $7.4 million of the cash consideration remains in escrow and will remain for up to an 18-month period after the acquisition as security for the indemnification obligations of the selling shareholders.

During the secondthird quarter and first sixnine months of 2016, the Company incurred $1.6$0.1 million and $2.5$2.6 million, respectively, of direct and incremental expenses that were primarily legal and advisory fees and due diligence costs to affect the acquisition.

In allocating the total purchase consideration based on estimated fair values, the Company recorded $27.8$27.3 million of goodwill, which is nondeductible for income tax purposes, and $24.3 million of intangible assets with a weighted-average amortization period of 9.7 years.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE

12.EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding options and RSUs, using the treasury stock method and the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the applicable period. Certain shares related to some of the Company’s outstanding stock options and RSUs were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive in the periods presented, but could be dilutive in the future.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains or incorporates forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our future financial performance and business plans, the adequacy of our liquidity and capital resources, the continued payment of quarterly dividends by the Company, the timing of recognizing revenue under existing license and cloud arrangements. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate, and management’s beliefs and assumptions. In addition, other written or oral statements that constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “may,” “target,” “strategy,” “is intended to,” “project,” “guidance,” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Important factors that could cause actual future activities and results to differ include, among others, variation in demand for our products and services and the difficulty in predicting the completion of product acceptance and other factors affecting the timing of license revenue recognition; the ongoing consolidation in the financial services, insurance, healthcare, and communications markets; reliance on third party relationships; the potential loss of vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) for our consulting services; the inherent risks associated with international operations and the continued weakness in international economies; foreign currency

exchange rates; the financial impact of the Company’s past acquisitions, including the recent OpenSpan acquisition, and any future acquisitions; and management of the Company’s growth.

In addition, we license our Pega® 7 platformPlatform for clients that wish to build and extend their own applications. The Pega® 7 Platform assists our clients in building, deploying, and evolving enterprise applications, creating an environment in which business and IT can collaborate to manage back office operations, front office sales, marketing, and/or customer service needs. We also provide consulting services, maintenance, and training for our software. Our software and our applications. Our applications and Pega® 7 Platform can be deployed in the cloud or on-premises.

Our strategy is to sell a client a series of licenses, each focused on a specific purpose or area of operations.operations in support of longer term enterprise-wide digital transformation initiatives.

Our license revenue is primarily derived from sales of our applications and our Pega® 7 Platform. Our consulting services revenue is primarily related to new license implementations. We offer training for our staff, clients, and partners at our regional training facilities and at third-party facilities, including client sites. Our online training through Pega® Academy provides an alternative way to learn our software in a virtual environment. We believe that this online training will continue to expand the number of trained experts at a faster pace.

At the end of June 2016, the United Kingdom (the “U.K.”) held a referendum in which U.K. voters approved an exit from the European Union (the “E.U.”), commonly referred to as “Brexit”. The announcement ofWhile Brexit has not had a meaningful impact on our business momentum, it has resulted in a sharp decline in the value of the British pound, as compared to the U.S. dollar and other currencies. Foreign currency fluctuations as a result of Brexit did not have a material effect on ourslightly reducing revenue during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016.

Prolonged weakening of the British pound relative to the U.S. dollar may adversely affect our revenue and results of operations in future periods.

Our license revenue is primarily derived from sales of our applications in the areas of marketing, sales and onboarding, customer service, and operations, as well as our Pega 7 platform. Our consulting services revenue is primarily related to new license implementations. Our consulting services revenue may be lower in future periods as our clients become enabled to perform their own implementation and our partners lead more projects. We offer training for our staff, clients, and partners at our regional training facilities and at third-party facilities, including client sites. Our online training through PegaACADEMY provides an alternative way to learn our software in a virtual environment.

During the nine months of 2016 and 2015, approximately 81% and 62%, respectively, of the value of new license arrangements were executed with existing clients.

We compute license and cloud backlog by adding deferred license and cloud revenue as recorded on the balance sheet and license and cloud commitments, which are not yet billed and not recorded on our balance sheet. License and cloud backlog may vary in any given period depending on the amount and timing of when arrangements are executed, as well as the mix between perpetual, term, and cloud license arrangements, which is dependent on our clients’ needs.

Critical accounting policies

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, knowledge of current conditions, and beliefs of what could occur in the future given available information.

There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. For more information regarding our critical accounting policies, we encourage you to read the discussion contained in Item 7 under the heading “Critical Accounting Estimates and Significant Judgments” and Note 2 “Significant Accounting Policies” included in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The aggregate value of new license arrangements executed during the first six months of 2016 decreased compared to the same period of 2015, primarily due to two license arrangements, each greater than $10 million, executed in the first six months of 2015. The aggregate value of new license arrangements executed fluctuates quarter to quarter. During the first six months of 2016 and 2015, approximately 87% and 56%, respectively, of the value of new license arrangements were executed with existing clients.

The mix between perpetual and term license arrangements executed in a particular period varies based on client needs. A change in the mix between perpetual and term license arrangements executed may cause our revenues to vary materially from period to period. A higher proportion of term license arrangements executed would generally result in more license revenue being recognized over longer periods. Additionally, some of our perpetual license arrangements include extended payment terms or additional rights of use, which may also result in the recognition of revenue over longer periods.

The increasesincrease in perpetual license revenue wereduring the nine months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily due to the higher aggregate valuepercentage of perpetual arrangements executed and recognized in revenue during the secondnine months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The aggregate value of future payments due under noncancellable perpetual licenses was $19.7 million as of September 30, 2016 compared to $36.5 million as of September 30, 2015. We expect to recognize $3.9 million of the $19.7 million as revenue during the fourth quarter of 2016.

The increase in term license revenue during the third quarter of 2016 compared to the same period of 2015. The aggregate value of payments due under noncancellable perpetual licenses was $31.4 million as of June 30, 2016 compared to $58.3 million as of June 30, 2015. We expect to recognize $10.7 million of the $31.4 million as revenue during the remainder of 2016.

The decrease in term license revenue during the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period of 2015 was primarily due to a large term license renewal for which the firstsecond year of the term was prepaid and recognized as revenue in the secondthird quarter of 2015.2016. The increase in term license revenue during the first sixnine months of 2016 compared to the same period ofin 2015 was primarily due to a term license arrangement greater than $10 million for which the license fee for the fullthree year license term was paid and recognized in full in the first quarter of 2016. The aggregate value of future payments due under noncancellable term licenses and our cloud arrangements grew to $309.3$352.8 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2016 compared to $271.7$287.9 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2015. We expect to recognize $50.7$26.7 million of the $309.3$352.8 million as revenue during the remainderfourth quarter of 2016 in addition to new term license and Pega Cloud arrangements we may complete or prepayments we may receive from existing term license agreements.

Consulting services revenue represents revenue primarily from new license implementations. Our consulting services revenue may fluctuate in future periods depending on the mix of new implementation projects we perform as compared to those performed by our enabled clients or led by our partners. The increase in consulting services revenue during the secondthird quarter of 2016 compared to the same period inof 2015 was primarily due to higher realization rates and the higher number ofrevenue from two large projects. The increase in consulting services revenue during the first sixnine months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily due to the higher realization rates and revenue from the large projects discussed above, as well as unusually low demand in the first quarter of 2015 and was also due to revenue recognized on another two large projects in the first six monthsquarter of 2016, which had been delayed from 2015.

Cloud revenue represents revenue from our Pega Cloud offerings. The increaseincreases in cloud revenue waswere primarily due to growth of our cloud client base.

The increase in the first sixnine months of 2016 compared to the same period ofin 2015 was primarily due to the fact that the first quarter of 2016 did not include the following benefits, which reduced our general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2015: a $1.8 million benefit from the settlement of our indemnification claims against the former Antenna, Inc. shareholders and a $1.6 million benefit from the settlement of certain indirect tax liabilities.liabilities, which reduced our general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2015. The increase was also due to a $1.2 million increase in legal expenses in first six months of 2016 compared to first six months of 2015 and a $0.9$2.6 million increase in compensation and benefits expenses associated with higher headcount.headcount and a $1.2 million increase in legal expenses in the nine months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

We use foreign currency forward contracts (“forward contracts”) to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our foreign currency denominated cash, accounts receivable, and intercompany receivables and payables held by our U.S. operatingparent company in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and by our U.K. subsidiary in currencies other than the British pound.

These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. As a result, we record the fair value of the outstanding contracts at the end of the reporting period in our consolidated balance sheet, with any fluctuations in the value of these contracts recognized in other expense, net.

See Note 4 “Derivative Instruments” in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of our use of forward contracts.

Provision for income taxes

We account for income taxes at each interim period using our estimated annual effective tax rate and adjust for discrete tax items recorded in the same period. The provision for income taxes represents current and future amounts owed for federal, state, and foreign taxes. During the secondthird quarter of 2016 and 2015, we recorded tax provisions of $1.9$3.1 million and $1.4$3.9 million, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 33.7%56.2% and 31.0%38.3%, respectively. During the first sixnine months of 2016 and 2015, we recorded tax provisions of $6.3$9.4 million and $4.7$8.6 million, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 33.4%38.5% and 34.3%36.0%, respectively. The slight increase in our effective tax rate duringfor the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily due to the reversal of uncertain tax positions that benefited the effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in our effective tax rate during the first sixnine months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was primarily due to an increasethe lower amount of favorable discrete items recognized in the third quarter of 2016. The quarterly effective tax rate may fluctuate depending on quarterly pre-tax income levels, the impact of discrete items, and changes in our anticipated deduction associated with U.S.-based software development activities and the benefit of the research and experimentation credit (“R&E credit”), which was not available in the first six months of 2015. In December 2015, the R&E credit was permanently extended retroactively to January 1, 2015.estimated annual effective tax rate.

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the first sixnine months of 2016 was primarily due to cash used in financing activities primarily for share repurchases under our current common stock repurchase program. We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations, our dividend payments, and our share repurchase program for at least the next 12 months.

We evaluate acquisition opportunities from time to time, which if pursued, could require use of our funds. On April 11, 2016, we acquired OpenSpan for $48.8 million in cash, net of $1.8 million in cash acquired. $7.4 million of the cash consideration remains in escrow for up to an 18-month period after the acquisition as security for the indemnification obligations of the selling shareholders. During the first sixnine months of 2016, we incurred direct and incremental expenses associated with the transaction of $2.5$2.6 million and expect to incur an additional estimated $0.1 million of such expenses that are primarily professional fees to affect the acquisition. In addition, during the first sixnine months of 2016 and 2015, we paid $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, representing additional cash consideration to the selling shareholders of one of the three companies acquired in 2014 based on the achievement of certain performance milestones. We may be required to pay an additional $0.4 million in cash to the same selling shareholders based on the achievement of additional performance milestones through the end of 2016.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2016, approximately $48.7$46.5 million of our cash and cash equivalents was held in our foreign subsidiaries. If it becomes necessary to repatriate these funds, we may be required to pay U.S. tax, net of any applicable foreign tax credits, upon repatriation. We consider the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be permanently reinvested and, as a result, U.S. taxes on such earnings are not provided. It is impractical to estimate the amount of U.S. tax we could have to pay upon repatriation due to the complexity of the foreign tax credit calculations. There can be no assurance that changes in our plans or other events affecting our operations will not result in materially accelerated or unexpected expenditures.

Cash provided by operating activities

The primary driver during the first sixnine months of 2016 was net income of $12.7$15.1 million.

The primary drivers during the first sixnine months of 2015 were net income of $9$15.4 million and a $16.6$21.4 million decrease in trade accounts receivable as a result of collections, partially offset by a $10.5 million decreasean increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses primarily due to the timing of payments for compensation-related accruals.collections.

Cash provided by / used in investing activities

During the first sixnine months of 2016, we acquired OpenSpan for $48.8 million, net of cash used in investing activities wasacquired, and invested $15.3 million primarily for investments in internally developed software and leasehold improvements at our corporate headquarters, in Cambridge, Massachusetts of $11.5 million.

Duringpartially offset by proceeds received from the first six months of 2015, cash used in investing activities was primarily for purchasessales of marketable debt securities of $31.5$62.3 million.

During the nine months of 2015, we purchased marketable debt securities of $66.9 million and invested $10 million primarily in leasehold improvements to our office in Hyderabad, India, partially offset by the proceeds received from the maturities of marketable debt securities of $21.1$33.9 million. We also invested $7.3 million primarily in leasehold improvements for the build-out of our new office in Hyderabad, India.

Cash used in financing activities

CashWe used in financing activities during the first six months of 2016 and 2015 wascash primarily for repurchases of our common stock, share repurchases for tax withholdings for the net settlement of our equity awards, and the payment of our quarterly dividend.

Since 2004, our Board of Directors has approved annual stock repurchase programs that have authorized the repurchase in the aggregate of up to $195 million of our common stock. Purchases under these programs have been made on the open market.

In addition to the share repurchases made under our repurchase programs, we net settled the majority of our employee stock option exercises and RSU vestings, which resulted in the withholding of shares to cover the option exercise price and the minimum statutory tax withholding obligations.

During the first sixnine months of 2016 and 2015, option and RSU holders net settled a total of 1,129,0001,569,000 shares and 944,0001,422,000 shares, respectively, of which only 591,000775,000 shares and 536,000745,000 shares, respectively, were issued to the option and RSU holders. The balance of the shares were surrendered to us to pay for the exercise price with respect to stock options and the applicable taxes for both options and RSUs. During the first sixnine months of 2016 and 2015, instead of receiving cash from the equity holders, we withheld shares with a value of $8.2$10.8 million and $4.4$7.1 million, respectively, for withholding taxes, and $5.8$10.1 million and $4.2$8.5 million, respectively, for the exercise price of options.

Dividends

We declared a cash dividend of $0.06$0.09 per share and paid cash dividends of $4.6$6.9 million in each of the first sixnine months of 2016 and 2015. It is our current intention to pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share, however, the Board of Directors may terminate or modify this dividend program at any time without notice.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may affect us due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily related to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

We use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge our exposures to fluctuations in non-functional currency exchange rates. See Note 4 “Derivative Instruments” in the notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

There were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk during the first sixnine months of 2016. Please refer to Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for a more complete discussion of our market risk exposure.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of JuneSeptember 30, 2016. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of JuneSeptember 30, 2016.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II—Other Information:

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Item 1A.Risk Factors

We encourage you to carefully consider the risk factors identified in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition, and future results and could cause our actual business and financial results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or elsewhere by management from time to time. Except for the information presented below, which updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and information disclosed in our Form 10-K, there have been no material changes during the first sixnine months of 2016 to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Factors relating to our products and markets

We face risks from operations and clients based outside of the U.S. Sales to clients based outside of the U.S. represented approximately 45% of our total revenue in the last three fiscal years and approximately 47%44% of our total revenue in the first sixnine months of 2016. We market products and render consulting and training services to clients based outside of the U.S. including clients based in Canada, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Australia. We have established offices in North America, Europe (including Russia and Turkey), Asia (including India), and Australia. We believe that growth will necessitate expanded international operations, requiring a diversion of managerial attention and increased costs. We anticipate hiring additional personnel to accommodate international growth, and we may also enter into agreements with local distributors, representatives, or resellers. If we are unable to do one or more of these things in a timely manner, our growth, if any, in our foreign operations may be restricted, and our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, we may not be able to maintain or increase international market demand for our products. Additional risks inherent in our international business activities generally include:

 

laws and business practices favoring local competitors;

 

compliance with multiple, conflicting and changing governmental laws and regulations, including employment, tax, privacy and data privacy and protection laws and regulations, increased tariffs and other trade barriers;

 

the costs of localizing products for local markets, including translation into foreign languages and associated expenses;

 

longer payment cycles and credit and collectability risk on our foreign trade receivables;

 

difficulties in enforcing contractual and intellectual property rights;

 

heightened fraud and anti-bribery awareness risks;

 

treatment of revenue from international sources and changes to tax codes, including being subject to foreign tax laws, being liable for paying withholding income or other taxes in foreign jurisdictions, and other potentially adverse tax consequences (including restrictions on repatriating earnings and the threat of “double taxation”);

 

managing our international operations, including increased accounting and internal control expenses;

 

heightened risks of political and economic instability; and

 

foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and controls.

One or more of these factors may have a material adverse effect on our foreign operations, and, consequently, on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

On June 23, 2016, the U.K. held a referendum in which U.K. voters approved an exit from the E.U., commonly referred to as “Brexit”. As a result of the referendum, it is expected that the British government will begin negotiating the future terms of the U.K.’s relationship with the E.U., including the terms of trade between the U.K. and the E.U. The announcement of Brexit caused significant volatility in global stock markets and currency exchange rate fluctuations that resulted in the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies in which we conduct business. The future effects of Brexit will depend on any agreements the U.K. makes to retain access to E.U. markets either during a transitional period or more permanently. The measures could potentially disrupt the markets

we serve and may cause our customers to closely monitor their costs and reduce their spending budget on our products and services. In addition, Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the U.K. determines which E.U. laws to replace or replicate. Given the lack of comparable precedent, it is unclear what financial, trade and legal implications the withdrawal of the U.K. from the E.U. would have and how such withdrawal would affect us. Adverse consequences such as deterioration in economic conditions, volatility in currency exchange rates, and prohibitive laws and regulations could have a negative impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates that could negatively impact our financial results and cash flows. Because a significant portion of our business is conducted outside the U.S., we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our international sales are usually denominated in foreign currencies. The operating expenses of our foreign operations are also primarily denominated in foreign currencies, which partially offset our foreign currency exposure on our international sales. Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the U.S. dollar, the Euro, and the Australian dollar relative to the British pound and the Euro and Indian rupee as comparedrelative to the U.S. dollar and the Euro and Australian dollar as compared to the British pound.dollar. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve, and they could have a material adverse impact on our financial results and cash flows. We use foreign currency forward contracts (“forward contracts”) to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with our foreign currency denominated cash, accounts receivable, and intercompany receivables and payables held by our U.S. operatingparent company and Pegasystems Limited, its U.K. subsidiary. These forward contracts have terms not greater than six months and are intended to partially mitigate exposure to the foreign currency transaction gains and losses. We do not enter into any hedging contracts for trading or speculative purposes. Our realized gain or loss with respect to foreign currency fluctuations will generally depend on the size and type of cross-currency exposures that we enter into; the currency exchange rates associated with these exposures and changes in those rates; whether we have entered into forward contracts to offset these exposures; and other factors. All of these factors could materially impact our operating results, financial condition, and cash flows.

The announcement of Brexit adversely impacted global markets, including currencies, and resulted in a sharp decline in the value of the British pound, as compared to the U.S. dollar and other currencies. Volatility in exchange rates is expected to continue in the short term as the U.K. negotiates its exit from the E.U. A weaker British pound compared to the U.S. dollar during a reporting period causes our international revenue to be translated into fewer U.S. dollars. Continued weakening of the British pound relative to the U.S. dollar may adversely affect our results of operations.

(1)Since 2004, our Board of Directors has approved stock repurchase programs that have authorized the repurchase, in the aggregate, of up to $195 million of our common stock. On May 20, 2016, we announced that our Board of Directors extended the expiration date of the current stock repurchase program to June 30, 2017 and increased the amount of stock the Company is authorized to repurchase to $50 million between May 18, 2016 and June 30, 2017 (the “Current Program”). Under the Current Program, purchases may be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Shares may be repurchased in such amounts as market conditions warrant, subject to regulatory and other considerations. We have established a pre-arranged stock repurchase plan, intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act (the “10b5-1 Plan”). All share repurchases under the Current Program during closed trading window periods will be made pursuant to the 10b5-1 Plan.
