Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Open Text Corporation and our subsidiaries, collectively referred to as "OpenText" or the "Company". We wholly own all of our subsidiaries 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 September 30, 2017 , were 70% , 85% and 81% owned, respectively, by OpenText. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q: (i) the term “Fiscal 2018” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2017 and ending June 30, 2018; (ii) the term “Fiscal 2017” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2016 and ended June 30, 2017; (iii) the term “Fiscal 2016” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2015 and ended June 30, 2016; (iv) the term "Fiscal 2015" means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2014 and ended June 30, 2015; and (v) the term "Fiscal 2014" means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2013 and ended June 30, 2014. 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 and includes the financial results of Covisint Corporation (Covisint), with effect from July 26, 2017 and Guidance Software Inc. (Guidance), with effect from September 14, 2017 (see note 18 "Acquisitions"). 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) testing of goodwill for impairment, (iii) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, (iv) the valuation of long-lived assets, (v) the recognition of contingencies, (vi) restructuring accruals, (vii) acquisition accruals and pre-acquisition contingencies, (viii) the realization of investment tax credits, (ix) the valuation of stock options granted and obligations related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plans, (x) the valuation of pension assets and obligations, and (xi) accounting for income taxes. Share Split As a result of the two -for-one share split, effected January 24, 2017 by way of a share sub-division, all comparative period per share data and number of Common Shares outstanding in these accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented on a post share split basis. See note 12 "Share Capital, Option Plans and Share-based Payments" for additional information about the share split.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Leases In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (ASU 2016-02), which supersedes the guidance in former Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 840 “Leases”. The most significant change will result in the recognition of lease assets for the right to use the underlying asset and lease liabilities for the obligation to make lease payments by lessees, for those leases classified as operating leases under current guidance. The new guidance will also require significant additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows related to leases. This standard is effective for us for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, entities are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. We have formed a sub-committee consisting of internal members from various departments to assess the effect that the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Although the sub-committee has not completed their assessment, we expect the majority of the impact to come from our facility leases, and that most of our operating lease commitments will be recognized as right of use assets and operating lease liabilities, which will increase our total assets and total liabilities, as reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, relative to such amounts prior to adoption. The sub-committee continues to evaluate the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, December 2016 and September 2017 within ASU 2015-04, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20, and ASU 2017-13 respectively, (collectively referred to as Topic 606). These updates supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition" and nearly all other existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of Topic 606 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 and permits the use of the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Topic 606 identifies five steps to be followed to achieve its core principal, which include (i) identifying contract(s) with customers, (ii) identifying performance obligations in the 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. We anticipate that we will adopt Topic 606 using the cumulative effect approach when this guidance becomes effective for us, starting in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. We have established a project team with the primary objective of evaluating the effect that Topic 606 will have on our business processes, systems and controls in order to support the requirements of the new standard. We have utilized a bottoms-up approach to determine the impact of the new standard on our contracts and have completed our review of current accounting policies and practices as compared to the new standard. This has resulted in the identification of differences that will result from applying the requirements of Topic 606 to our revenue contracts that will be open at the time of the transition. While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of Topic 606, we currently believe the most significant impacts will relate to our accounting for implementation services on cloud arrangements and accounting for on premise subscription offerings. Under current U.S. GAAP, fees charged for professional services to implement hosted software within a cloud arrangement are deferred and amortized over the longer of the non-cancellable contract term or the estimated customer life because the activities are not deemed to be a separate element for which stand-alone value exists. The requirements for the identification of distinct performance obligations within a contract have changed under the new revenue recognition standard. Under this new standard we will be required to recognize certain implementation services that meet the criteria of being distinct as a separate performance obligation from the on-going cloud arrangement with corresponding revenues recognized as the services are provided to the customer. Costs relating to these implementation services will be expensed as they are incurred. Under current U.S. GAAP, revenue attributable to subscription services related to on premise offerings is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement because Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (VSOE) does not exist for the undelivered maintenance and support element as it is not sold separately. The requirement to have VSOE for undelivered elements to enable the separation of the delivered software licenses is eliminated under the new revenue recognition standard. Accordingly, under this new standard we will be required to recognize as revenue a portion of the arrangement fee upon delivery of the initial software at the outset of the arrangement. This difference will result in allocating a transaction price to the delivered software component of a subscription offering and thus an earlier recognition of that transaction price. The accounting for the recognition of costs related to obtaining customer contracts under Topic 606 is not significantly different from our current policy to defer commissions. There will be certain modifications to reflect the changes in the pattern and timing of recognition of certain arrangements as discussed above. We are still in the process of quantifying the impacts of Topic 606 and the methodology of estimating Standalone Selling Price for certain of the separately identified performance obligations under the new revenue recognition standard. It is important to note, however, that certain contracts are complex, and actual determination of revenue recognition under both existing and new guidance is dependent on contract-specific terms, which can cause variability in the timing and quantum of revenue recognized. We will continue to assess all of the impacts that the application of Topic 606 will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and, if material, will provide updated disclosures with regard to the expected impact. ASUs adopted in Fiscal 2018 During Fiscal 2018 we adopted the following ASUs, none of which had a material impact to our reported financial position, results of operations or cash flows: • ASU 2016-09 "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)"

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 September 30, 2017 , there is approximately $0.4 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 remainder of Fiscal 2018. GXS Germany Plan As part of our acquisition of GXS Group, Inc. (GXS) in Fiscal 2014, we assumed an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering certain German employees which provides for old age, disability and survivors' benefits. The GXS GER plan has been closed to new participants since 2006. Benefits under the GXS GER plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, date of hire, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. 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 September 30, 2017 , there is approximately $53.7 thousand in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the GXS GER plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remainder of Fiscal 2018. GXS Philippines Plan As part of our acquisition of GXS in Fiscal 2014, we assumed a primarily unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of the GXS Philippines employees which provides for retirement, disability and survivors' benefits. Benefits under the GXS PHP plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. Aside from an initial contribution which has a fair value of approximately $32.8 thousand as of September 30, 2017 , no additional contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan’s active employees. As of September 30, 2017 , there is approximately $0.2 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the GXS PHP plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remainder of Fiscal 2018.

SHARE CAPITAL, OPTION PLANS AND SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS	SHARE CAPITAL, OPTION PLANS AND SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS Share Split As a result of the two -for-one share split effected last fiscal year on January 24, 2017, whereby shareholders of record on the record date received one additional Common Share for each Common Share held, all comparative period per share data, number of Common Shares outstanding and share-based compensation awards are presented on a post share split basis. Cash Dividends For the three months ended September 30, 2017 , pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, we declared total non-cumulative dividends of $0.1320 , per Common Share in the aggregate amount of $35.0 million , which we paid during the same period. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 , pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, we paid total non-cumulative dividends of $0.1150 , per Common Share in the aggregate amount of $27.8 million . Share Capital Our authorized share capital includes an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of Preference Shares. No Preference Shares have been issued. Treasury Stock Repurchase During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we did no t repurchase any of our Common Shares for potential reissuance under our Long Term Incentive Plans (LTIP) or other plans ( three months ended September 30, 2016 — nil ). See below for more details on our various plans. Reissuance During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we reissued 8,332 Common Shares, from treasury stock ( three months ended September 30, 2016 — 8,334 Common Shares), in connection with the settlement of awards. Share-Based Payments Total share-based compensation expense for the periods indicated below is detailed as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 Stock options $ 3,302 $ 3,888 Performance Share Units (issued under LTIP) 1,035 881 Restricted Share Units (issued under LTIP) 1,886 1,602 Restricted Share Units (other) 479 752 Deferred Share Units (directors) 547 511 Employee Share Purchase Plan 986 506 Total share-based compensation expense $ 8,235 $ 8,140 Summary of Outstanding Stock Options As of September 30, 2017 , an aggregate of 8,461,042 options to purchase Common Shares were outstanding and an additional 11,332,788 options to purchase 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 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 three months ended September 30, 2017 is as follows: Options Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($’000s) Outstanding at June 30, 2017 8,977,830 $ 24.57 Granted 543,130 34.49 Exercised (1,048,002 ) 15.42 Forfeited or expired (11,916 ) 29.80 Outstanding at September 30, 2017 8,461,042 $ 26.33 4.53 $ 52,658 Exercisable at September 30, 2017 3,255,710 $ 21.65 3.21 $ 34,657 We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or, where appropriate, the Monte Carlo Valuation Method, consistent with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation" (Topic 718) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The option-pricing models require input of subjective assumptions, including the estimated life of the option and the expected volatility of the underlying stock over the estimated life of the option. We use historical volatility as a basis for projecting the expected volatility of the underlying stock and estimate the expected life of our stock options based upon historical data. We believe that the valuation techniques and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair value of our stock option grants. Estimates of fair value are not intended, however, to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards. For the periods indicated, the weighted-average fair value of options and weighted-average assumptions were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 Weighted–average fair value of options granted $ 7.44 $ 6.53 Weighted-average assumptions used: Expected volatility 27.35 % 29.42 % Risk–free interest rate 1.74 % 1.03 % Expected dividend yield 1.43 % 1.45 % Expected life (in years) 4.34 4.33 Forfeiture rate (based on historical rates) 6 % 5 % Average exercise share price $ 34.49 $ 29.75 As of September 30, 2017 , the total compensation cost related to the unvested stock option awards not yet recognized was approximately $23.1 million , which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 years . No cash was used by us to settle equity instruments granted under share-based compensation arrangements in any of the periods presented. We have no t capitalized any share-based compensation costs as part of the cost of an asset in any of the periods presented. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 , cash in the amount of $16.2 million was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three months ended September 30, 2017 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.1 million . For the three months ended September 30, 2016 , cash in the amount of $2.4 million was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three months ended September 30, 2016 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.1 million . 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 achievement of certain financial and/or operational performance criteria (the Performance Conditions) that are determined at the time of the grant. Target RSUs become vested when an eligible employee remains employed throughout the vesting period. LTIP grants that have recently vested, or have yet to vest, are described below. LTIP grants are referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q based upon the year in which the grants are expected to vest. 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 during the second quarter of Fiscal 2018. 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. Fiscal 2019 LTIP Grants made in Fiscal 2017 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2019 LTIP), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2017 starting on August 14, 2016. 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 2019 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2019 LTIP awards in stock. Fiscal 2020 LTIP Grants made in Fiscal 2018 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2020 LTIP), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2018 starting on August 7, 2017. 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 2020 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2020 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. As of September 30, 2017 , the total expected compensation cost related to the unvested LTIP awards not yet recognized was $22.4 million , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years . Restricted Share Units (RSUs) During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we granted 2,968 RSUs to employees in accordance with employment and other agreements ( three months ended September 30, 2016 — 7,800 ). The RSUs vest over a specified contract date, typically three years from the respective date of grants. We expect to settle the awards in stock. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we issued 8,332 Common Shares from treasury stock, with a cost of $0.2 million , in connection with the settlement of these vested RSUs ( three months ended September 30, 2016 — 8,334 with a cost of $0.1 million ). Deferred Stock Units (DSUs) During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we granted 3,203 DSUs to certain non-employee directors ( three months ended September 30, 2016 — 2,442 ). The DSUs were issued under our Deferred Share Unit Plan. DSUs granted as compensation for director fees vest immediately, whereas all other DSUs granted vest at our next annual general meeting following the granting of the DSUs. No DSUs are payable by us until the director ceases to be a member of the Board. Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP) Our ESPP offers employees a purchase price discount of 15% . During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , 192,369 Common Shares were eligible for issuance to employees enrolled in the ESPP ( three months ended September 30, 2016 — 103,632 ). During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , cash in the amount of approximately $5.7 million was received from employees relating to the ESPP ( three months ended September 30, 2016 — $2.9 million ).

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES	GUARANTEES AND CONTINGENCIES We have entered into the following contractual obligations with minimum payments for the indicated fiscal periods as follows: Payments due between Total October 1, 2017— July 1, 2018— July 1, 2020— July 1, 2022 Long term debt obligations (1) $ 3,581,923 $ 479,853 $ 255,219 $ 952,101 $ 1,894,750 Operating lease obligations (2) 382,347 56,758 125,449 93,400 106,740 Purchase obligations 27,193 14,607 12,096 490 — $ 3,991,463 $ 551,218 $ 392,764 $ 1,045,991 $ 2,001,490 (1) Includes interest up to maturity and principal payments. We currently have borrowings outstanding under the Revolver, which we expect to repay within the next 12 months. Please see note 10 "Long-Term Debt" for more details. (2) Net of $7.9 million of sublease income to be received from properties which we have subleased to third parties. Guarantees and Indemnifications We have entered into customer agreements which may include provisions to indemnify our customers against third party claims that our software products or services infringe certain third party intellectual property rights and for liabilities related to a breach of our confidentiality obligations. We have not made any material payments in relation to such indemnification provisions and have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements . Occasionally, we enter into financial guarantees with third parties in the ordinary course of our business, including, among others, guarantees relating to taxes and letters of credit on behalf of parties with whom we conduct business. Such agreements have not had a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings. Quarterly, we review the status of each significant legal matter and evaluate such matters to determine how they should be treated for accounting and disclosure purposes in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450-20 "Loss Contingencies" (Topic 450-20). Specifically, this evaluation process includes the centralized tracking and itemization of the status of all our disputes and litigation items, discussing the nature of any litigation and claim, including any dispute or claim that is reasonably likely to result in litigation, with relevant internal and external counsel, and assessing the progress of each matter in light of its merits and our experience with similar proceedings under similar circumstances. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with Topic 450-20. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q , the aggregate of such estimated losses was 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 IRS Matter As we have previously disclosed, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is examining certain of our tax returns for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 (Fiscal 2010) through our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 (Fiscal 2012), and in connection with those examinations is reviewing our internal reorganization in Fiscal 2010 to consolidate certain intellectual property ownership in Luxembourg and Canada and our integration of certain acquisitions into the resulting structure. We also previously disclosed that the examinations may lead to proposed adjustments to our taxes that may be material, individually or in the aggregate, and that we have not recorded any material accruals for any such potential adjustments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements . As part of these examinations, which remain ongoing, on July 17, 2015 we received from the IRS an initial 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 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, including because the IRS may assign a higher value to our intellectual property). Depending upon the outcome of these matters, additional state income taxes plus penalties and interest may be due. We currently estimate that, as of September 30, 2017 , adjustments under the draft NOPA in its present form and the anticipated additional NOPA could result in an aggregate liability of approximately $590 million , inclusive of U.S. federal and state taxes, penalties and interest. The increase from the initially disclosed estimated aggregate liability is solely due to an estimate of interest that has accrued. 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 not recorded any material accruals in respect of these examinations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements . An adverse outcome of these tax examinations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. CRA Matter As part of its ongoing audit of our Canadian tax returns, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has disputed our transfer pricing methodology used for certain intercompany transactions with our international subsidiaries. The CRA has issued a notice of reassessment for Fiscal 2012 that would, as currently proposed, increase our taxable income for that year by approximately $90 million (offset by the tax attributes referred to below). We strongly disagree with the CRA position, believe the reassessment of Fiscal 2012 is without merit, and intend to vigorously contest the proposed adjustments to our taxable income. We will be filing a notice of objection and will also seek competent authority consideration under applicable international treaties in respect of this reassessment. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q , we have not recorded any accruals in respect of this reassessment in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements . Even if we are unsuccessful in challenging the CRA’s reassessment to increase our taxable income for Fiscal 2012, we have elective deductions available in Fiscal 2012 that would offset such increased amount so that no additional cash tax would be payable for Fiscal 2012. Audits by the CRA of our tax returns for fiscal years prior to Fiscal 2012 have been completed with no reassessment of our income tax liability in respect of our international transactions, including the transfer pricing methodology applied to them. GXS Brazil Matter As part of our acquisition of GXS, we 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. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 the courts ruled in favour of the municipality of São Paulo. The Company has decided not to pursue further appeal. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2017 we accrued approximately $1.4 million towards the settlement of this matter. Subsequently on October 1, 2017, the Company reached a settlement with the municipality and paid $1.4 million . 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 has approximately $4.1 million accrued for the probable amount of a settlement related to the indirect taxes, interest and penalties. GXS India Matter Our Indian subsidiary, GXS India Technology Centre Private Limited (GXS India), is subject to potential assessments by Indian tax authorities in the city of Bangalore. GXS India has received assessment orders from the Indian tax authorities alleging that the transfer price applied to intercompany transactions was not appropriate. Based on advice from our tax advisors, we believe that the facts that the Indian tax authorities are using to support their assessment are incorrect. We have filed appeals and anticipate an eventual settlement with the Indian tax authorities. We have accrued $1.4 million to cover our anticipated financial exposure in this matter. Please also see "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2017.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	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 months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , we recognized the following amounts as income tax-related interest expense and penalties: Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 Interest expense $ 2,086 $ 1,282 Penalties expense (recoveries) 81 (106 ) Total $ 2,167 $ 1,176 As of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 , the following amounts have been accrued on account of income tax-related interest expense and penalties: As of September 30, 2017 As of June 30, 2017 Interest expense accrued * $ 50,039 $ 47,402 Penalties accrued * $ 3,018 $ 2,160 * 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 September 30, 2017 , could decrease tax expense in the next 12 months by $1.6 million , relating primarily to the expiration of competent authority relief and tax years becoming statute barred for purposes of future tax examinations by local taxing jurisdictions. Our four most significant tax jurisdictions are Canada, the United States, Luxembourg and Germany. Our tax filings remain subject to audits by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. The earliest fiscal years open for examination are 2009 for Germany, 2010 for the United States, 2011 for Luxembourg, and 2012 for Canada. We are subject to tax audits in all major taxing jurisdictions in which we operate and currently have tax audits open in Canada, the United States, France, Germany, India, Italy, Malaysia, and the United Kingdom. On a quarterly basis we assess the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse outcomes to determine the adequacy of the provision for income and other taxes. Statements regarding the United States and Canada audits are included in note 13 "Guarantees and Contingencies". The timing of the resolution of income tax audits is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities or possibly reach resolution of income tax audits in one or more jurisdictions. These assessments or settlements may or may not result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on tax filings. The actual amount of any change could vary significantly depending on the ultimate timing and nature of any settlements. We cannot currently provide an estimate of the range of possible outcomes. For more information relating to certain tax audits, please refer to note 13 "Guarantees and Contingencies". As at September 30, 2017 , we have provided $24.6 million ( June 30, 2017 — $22.1 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 German 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 tax rate increased to an expense of 42.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 , compared to a recovery of 1,606.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 . The increase in tax expense of $886.8 million was primarily due to (i) a significant tax benefit of $876.1 million resulting from the Fiscal 2017 internal reorganization as described below which did not reoccur in Fiscal 2018, (ii) an increase of $2.2 million relating to differences in tax filings from provisions, (iii) an increase of $3.8 million on account of the Company having higher income before taxes, including the impact of foreign tax rates, and (iv) an increase of $3.6 million resulting from the reversals of reserves in Fiscal 2017 that did not reoccur in Fiscal 2018, offset by a decrease of $1.0 million relating to a decrease in amortization of deferred charges. The remainder of the difference was due to normal course movements and non-material items. In July 2016, we implemented a reorganization of our subsidiaries worldwide with the view to continuing to enhance operational and administrative efficiencies through further consolidated ownership, management, and development of our intellectual property (IP) in Canada, continuing to reduce the number of entities in our group and working towards our objective of having a single operating legal entity in each jurisdiction. A significant tax benefit of $876.1 million , associated primarily with the recognition of a net deferred tax asset arising from the entry of the IP into Canada, was recognized in the first quarter of Fiscal 2017. For more information relating to this, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Measurement	3 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (Topic 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and addresses disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value, in this context, should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including our own credit risk. In addition to defining fair value and addressing disclosure requirements, Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are: • Level 1—inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. • Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. • Level 3—inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis: Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following types of instruments as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 : September 30, 2017 June 30, 2017 Fair Market Measurements using: Fair Market Measurements using: September 30, 2017 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets/ (liabilities) Significant other observable inputs Significant unobservable inputs June 30, 2017 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets/ (liabilities) Significant other observable inputs Significant unobservable inputs (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Financial Assets: Marketable securities N/A N/A N/A N/A $ 3,023 N/A $ 3,023 N/A Derivative financial instrument asset (note 16) 1,838 N/A 1,838 N/A 1,174 N/A 1,174 N/A $ 1,838 N/A $ 1,838 N/A $ 4,197 N/A $ 4,197 N/A Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of the derivative instruments, the counterparty to which has high credit ratings, were derived from pricing models including discounted cash flow techniques, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data, as no quoted market prices exist for these instruments. Our discounted cash flow techniques use observable market inputs, such as, where applicable, foreign currency spot and forward rates. Our cash and cash equivalents, along with our accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances, are measured and recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at an amount that approximates their fair value (a Level 2 measurement) due to their short maturities. If applicable, we will recognize transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the actual event or change in circumstance occurs. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , we did not have any transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 , no indications of impairment were identified and therefore no fair value measurements were required. Marketable Securities Marketable securities are classified as available for sale securities and are recorded within "Other assets" on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of Accumulated other comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2017 , we no longer hold any marketable securities. A summary of our marketable securities outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017 is as follows: As of September 30, 2017 As of June 30, 2017 Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized (Losses) Estimated Fair Value Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized (Losses) Estimated Fair Value Marketable securities N/A N/A N/A N/A $ 2,406 $ 617 $ — $ 3,023

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES Foreign Currency Forward Contracts We are engaged in hedging programs with 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 foreign currency forward contracts to hedge portions of our payroll exposure with typical maturities of between one and twelve months . We do not use derivatives for speculative purposes. We have designated these transactions as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions under ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (Topic 815). As the critical terms of the hedging instrument and of the entire hedged forecasted transaction are the same, in accordance with Topic 815, we have been able to conclude that changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged are expected to completely offset at inception and on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, quarterly unrealized gains or losses on the effective portion of these forward contracts have been included within other comprehensive income. The fair value of the contracts, as of September 30, 2017 , is recorded within "Prepaid expenses and other current assets”. As of September 30, 2017 , the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was $46.3 million ( June 30, 2017 — $39.0 million ). Fair Value of Derivative Instruments and Effect of Derivative Instruments on Financial Performance The effect of these derivative instruments on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods indicated below were as follows (amounts presented do not include any income tax effects).

The Fiscal 2018 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 September 30, 2017 , we expect total costs to be incurred in conjunction with the Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Plan to be approximately $12.0 million , of which $6.4 million has already been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the three months ended September 30, 2017 is shown below.

Other charges (recoveries) ERP Implementation Costs We have implemented a broad enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 , we incurred costs of $3.7 million relating to the implementation of this project ( three months ended September 30, 2016 — $2.4 million ). Other charges (recoveries) For the three months ended September 30, 2017 , "Other charges" primarily include $1.4 million relating to miscellaneous other charges. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 , "Other charges" primarily include (i) $1.3 million relating to post-acquisition integration costs necessary to streamline an acquired company into our operations, (ii) $1.0 million relating to commitment fees, and (iii) $0.1 million relating to certain interest on pre-acquisition liabilities. These charges were offset by a recovery of $1.2 million relating to certain pre-acquisition sales and use tax liabilities being released upon becoming statute barred.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
ACQUISITIONS	ACQUISITIONS Fiscal 2018 Acquisitions Acquisition of Guidance Software Inc. On September 14, 2017, we acquired all of the equity interest in Guidance, a leading provider of forensic security solutions, for approximately $240.5 million . In accordance with ASC Topic 805 "Business Combinations" (Topic 805), this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. We believe this acquisition complements and extends our Enterprise Information Management (EIM) portfolio. The results of operations of this acquisition have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning September 14, 2017. The following tables summarize the preliminary consideration paid for Guidance and the amount of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the goodwill recorded as of the acquisition date: Cash consideration* $ 237,291 Guidance shares already owned by OpenText through open market purchases (at fair value) 3,247 Preliminary purchase consideration $ 240,538 *Inclusive of $10.8 million accrued for but unpaid as of September 30, 2017 . See "Appraisal Proceedings" below for more information. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation The recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their preliminary fair values as of September 14, 2017, are set forth below: Current assets (inclusive of cash acquired of $5.7 million) $ 25,395 Non-current tangible assets 13,287 Intangible customer assets 69,826 Intangible technology assets 51,851 Liabilities assumed (46,943 ) Total identifiable net assets 113,416 Goodwill 127,122 Net assets acquired $ 240,538 The goodwill of $127.1 million is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. Of this goodwill, approximately $1.9 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Included in total identifiable net assets is acquired deferred revenue with a fair value of $26.7 million , which represents our estimate of the fair value of the contractual obligations assumed based on a preliminary valuation. In arriving at this fair value, we reduced the acquired company’s original carrying value by $8.1 million . The fair value of current assets acquired includes accounts receivable with a fair value of $10.9 million . The gross amount receivable was $11.8 million of which $0.9 million of this receivable is expected to be uncollectible. An amount of $0.8 million , representing the mark to market gain on the shares we held in Guidance prior to the acquisition, was recorded to "Other income" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Acquisition-related costs for Guidance included in "Special charges (recoveries)" in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $1.2 million . The acquisition had no significant impact on revenues and net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2017 since the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because they are not material to the consolidated results of operations. The finalization of the purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the valuation of fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including tax balances. We expect to finalize this determination on or before September 30, 2018. Appraisal Proceedings Under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, shareholders who did not tender their shares in connection with our tender offer were entitled to have their shares appraised by the Delaware Court of Chancery and receive payment of the “fair value” of such shares. On August 31, 2017 we received notice from the record holder of approximately 1,519,569 shares or 5% of the issued and outstanding Guidance shares as of the date of acquisition, on behalf of certain beneficial owners of shares of Guidance, demanding an appraisal of the fair value of Guidance shares as they believed the price we paid for Guidance shares was less than its fair value. As of September 30, 2017, we have accrued $10.8 million in connection with these claims, which is equivalent to paying $7.10 per Guidance share, the amount these Guidance shareholders otherwise would have received had they tendered their shares in our offer. The amount accrued has been included within "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets , with no impact to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income provided the courts rule within the open measurement period of 12 months from acquisition date. Acquisition of Covisint Corporation On July 26, 2017, we acquired all of the equity interest in Covisint, a leading cloud platform for building Identity, Automotive, and Internet of Things applications, for approximately $102.8 million . In accordance with Topic 805, this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. We believe this acquisition complements and extends our EIM portfolio. The results of operations of this acquisition have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning July 26, 2017. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation The recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their preliminary fair values as of July 26, 2017, are set forth below: Current assets (inclusive of cash acquired of $31.5 million) $ 41,586 Non-current tangible assets 3,426 Intangible customer assets 36,600 Intangible technology assets 17,300 Liabilities assumed (23,033 ) Total identifiable net assets 75,879 Goodwill 26,905 Net assets acquired $ 102,784 The goodwill of $26.9 million is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. Of this goodwill, approximately $26.8 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Included in total identifiable net assets is acquired deferred revenue with a fair value of $12.2 million , which represents our estimate of the fair value of the contractual obligations assumed based on a preliminary valuation. In arriving at this fair value, we reduced the acquired company’s original carrying value by $4.6 million . The fair value of current assets acquired includes accounts receivable with a fair value of $7.8 million . The gross amount receivable was $7.9 million of which $0.1 million of this receivable was expected to be uncollectible. Acquisition-related costs for Covisint included in "Special charges (recoveries)" in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $0.8 million . The acquisition had no significant impact on revenues and net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2017 since the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because they are not material to the consolidated results of operations. The finalization of the purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the valuation of fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including tax balances. We expect to finalize this determination on or before June 30, 2018. Fiscal 2017 Acquisitions Purchase of an Asset Group Constituting a Business - ECD Business On January 23, 2017 , we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of the enterprise content division of EMC Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation, and certain of its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as Dell-EMC (ECD Business) for approximately $1.62 billion . In accordance with Topic 805, this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. ECD Business offers OpenText a suite of leading Enterprise Content Management solutions with deep industry focus, including the Documentum TM , InfoArchive TM , and LEAP TM product families. We believe this acquisition complements and extends our EIM portfolio. The results of operations of this acquisition have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning January 23, 2017. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation The recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their preliminary fair values as of January 23, 2017, are set forth below: Current assets $ 10,931 Non-current tangible assets 103,822 Intangible customer assets 407,000 Intangible technology assets 459,000 Liabilities assumed (183,426 ) Total identifiable net assets 797,327 Goodwill 825,067 Net assets acquired $ 1,622,394 The goodwill of $825.1 million is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. Of this goodwill, approximately $378.5 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Included in total identifiable net assets is acquired deferred revenue with a fair value of $ 163.6 million , which represents our estimate of the fair value of the contractual obligations assumed based on a preliminary valuation. In arriving at this fair value, we reduced the acquired company’s original carrying value by $52.0 million . Further, included within total identifiable net assets are also certain contract assets which represent revenue earned by the ECD Business on long-term projects for which billings had not yet occurred as of January 23, 2017 . As these long-term projects have now been inherited by OpenText, we will be responsible for billing and collecting cash on these projects at the appropriate time, yet we will not recognize revenue for these billings. The fair value assigned to these contract assets as of January 23, 2017 was $7.6 million . The finalization of the purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of the valuation of fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including tax balances. We expect to finalize this determination on or before December 31, 2017. Purchase of an Asset Group Constituting a Business - CCM Business On July 31, 2016 , we acquired certain customer communications management software and services assets and liabilities from HP Inc. (CCM Business) for approximately $315.0 million . In accordance with Topic 805, this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. We believe this acquisition complements our current software portfolio, and allows us to better serve our customers by offering a wider set of CCM capabilities. The results of operations of this acquisition have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning July 31, 2016. Purchase Price Allocation The recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their fair values as of July 31, 2016, are set forth below: Current assets $ 683 Non-current deferred tax asset 11,861 Non-current tangible assets 2,348 Intangible customer assets 64,000 Intangible technology assets 101,000 Liabilities assumed (38,090 ) Total identifiable net assets 141,802 Goodwill 173,198 Net assets acquired $ 315,000 The goodwill of $173.2 million is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition. Of this goodwill, approximately $105.1 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Acquisition of Recommind, Inc. O n July 20, 2016, we acquired all of the equity interest in Recommind, Inc. (Recommind), a leading provider of eDiscovery and information analytics, for approximately $170.1 million . In accordance with Topic 805, this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. We believe this acquisition complements our EIM solutions, and through eDiscovery and analytics, provides increased visibility into structured and unstructured data. The results of operations of Recommind, have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning July 20, 2016. Purchase Price Allocation The recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon their fair values as of July 20, 2016, are set forth below: Current assets $ 30,034 Non-current tangible assets 1,245 Intangible customer assets 51,900 Intangible technology assets 24,800 Long-term deferred tax liabilities (1,780 ) Other liabilities assumed (27,497 ) Total identifiable net assets 78,702 Goodwill 91,405 Net assets acquired $ 170,107 The goodwill of $91.4 million is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS PER SHARE	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. Per share data and number of Common Shares included in the table below are presented on a post share split basis.

Related Party Transaction, Due from (to) Related Party [Abstract]
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Our procedure regarding the approval of any related party transaction requires that the material facts of such transaction be reviewed by the independent members of the Audit Committee and the transaction be approved by a majority of the independent members of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews all transactions in which we are, or will be, a participant and any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest in the transaction. In determining whether to approve a related party transaction, the Audit Committee generally takes into account, among other facts it deems appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; the extent and nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction; the benefits to the Company of the proposed transaction; if applicable, the effects on a director’s independence; and if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable services or products. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 , Mr. Stephen Sadler, a director, earned $0.7 million ( three months ended September 30, 2016 — $0.7 million ) 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.

Recent Accounting Pronounceme31

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Policies)	3 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
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) testing of goodwill for impairment, (iii) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, (iv) the valuation of long-lived assets, (v) the recognition of contingencies, (vi) restructuring accruals, (vii) acquisition accruals and pre-acquisition contingencies, (viii) the realization of investment tax credits, (ix) the valuation of stock options granted and obligations related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plans, (x) the valuation of pension assets and obligations, and (xi) accounting for income taxes.
Leases	In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (ASU 2016-02), which supersedes the guidance in former Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 840 “Leases”. The most significant change will result in the recognition of lease assets for the right to use the underlying asset and lease liabilities for the obligation to make lease payments by lessees, for those leases classified as operating leases under current guidance. The new guidance will also require significant additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows related to leases. This standard is effective for us for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, entities are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. We have formed a sub-committee consisting of internal members from various departments to assess the effect that the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Although the sub-committee has not completed their assessment, we expect the majority of the impact to come from our facility leases, and that most of our operating lease commitments will be recognized as right of use assets and operating lease liabilities, which will increase our total assets and total liabilities, as reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, relative to such amounts prior to adoption. The sub-committee continues to evaluate the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, December 2016 and September 2017 within ASU 2015-04, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20, and ASU 2017-13 respectively, (collectively referred to as Topic 606). These updates supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition" and nearly all other existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of Topic 606 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 and permits the use of the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Topic 606 identifies five steps to be followed to achieve its core principal, which include (i) identifying contract(s) with customers, (ii) identifying performance obligations in the 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. We anticipate that we will adopt Topic 606 using the cumulative effect approach when this guidance becomes effective for us, starting in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. We have established a project team with the primary objective of evaluating the effect that Topic 606 will have on our business processes, systems and controls in order to support the requirements of the new standard. We have utilized a bottoms-up approach to determine the impact of the new standard on our contracts and have completed our review of current accounting policies and practices as compared to the new standard. This has resulted in the identification of differences that will result from applying the requirements of Topic 606 to our revenue contracts that will be open at the time of the transition. While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of Topic 606, we currently believe the most significant impacts will relate to our accounting for implementation services on cloud arrangements and accounting for on premise subscription offerings. Under current U.S. GAAP, fees charged for professional services to implement hosted software within a cloud arrangement are deferred and amortized over the longer of the non-cancellable contract term or the estimated customer life because the activities are not deemed to be a separate element for which stand-alone value exists. The requirements for the identification of distinct performance obligations within a contract have changed under the new revenue recognition standard. Under this new standard we will be required to recognize certain implementation services that meet the criteria of being distinct as a separate performance obligation from the on-going cloud arrangement with corresponding revenues recognized as the services are provided to the customer. Costs relating to these implementation services will be expensed as they are incurred. Under current U.S. GAAP, revenue attributable to subscription services related to on premise offerings is recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement because Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (VSOE) does not exist for the undelivered maintenance and support element as it is not sold separately. The requirement to have VSOE for undelivered elements to enable the separation of the delivered software licenses is eliminated under the new revenue recognition standard. Accordingly, under this new standard we will be required to recognize as revenue a portion of the arrangement fee upon delivery of the initial software at the outset of the arrangement. This difference will result in allocating a transaction price to the delivered software component of a subscription offering and thus an earlier recognition of that transaction price. The accounting for the recognition of costs related to obtaining customer contracts under Topic 606 is not significantly different from our current policy to defer commissions. There will be certain modifications to reflect the changes in the pattern and timing of recognition of certain arrangements as discussed above. We are still in the process of quantifying the impacts of Topic 606 and the methodology of estimating Standalone Selling Price for certain of the separately identified performance obligations under the new revenue recognition standard. It is important to note, however, that certain contracts are complex, and actual determination of revenue recognition under both existing and new guidance is dependent on contract-specific terms, which can cause variability in the timing and quantum of revenue recognized. We will continue to assess all of the impacts that the application of Topic 606 will have on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and, if material, will provide updated disclosures with regard to the expected impact.
