NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC or the Company) has prepared the unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included herein, as of and for the quarter ended June 29, 2012, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. It is recommended that these Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2012 (fiscal 2012). In the opinion of management, the unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included herein reflect all adjustments necessary, including those of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and the cash flows for such interim periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Income from continuing operations, before taxes, included the following adjustments due to changes in estimated profitability on long term contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method:
|
| | | | | | | | |

| | $ | 2 |
|
Gross unfavorable | | (28 | ) | | (45 | ) |
Total net adjustments | | $ | (19 | ) | | $ | (43 | ) |
Unbilled recoverable amounts under contracts in progress do not have an allowance for credit losses, and any adjustments to unbilled recoverable amounts under contracts in progress related to credit quality, should they occur, would be accounted for as a reduction of revenue. Unbilled recoverable amounts under contracts in progress resulting from sales primarily to the United States and other governments that are expected to be collected after one year totaled $70 million and $78 million as of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012, respectively.
Depreciation expense was $178 million and $182 million for the quarters ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively.
The changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows:

Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Standards
On June 16, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. On December 23, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications
COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05,” which defers the requirement under ASU 2011-05 to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income for all periods presented. As this guidance impacts presentation only, it had no effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company adopted the amendments in the updates effective at the beginning of fiscal 2013 using the two-statement approach.
On September 15, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” which revises guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. The amendments in the ASU allow an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines that it is not more likely than not, then performing the two-step impairment is unnecessary. However, if the entity concludes that fair value is more likely than not less than its carrying value, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test and calculate the fair value of the reporting unit to compare with the carrying value of the reporting unit as described in ASC 350-20-35-4. The entity may bypass the initial qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to the first step of the two-step impairment test. The entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The Company adopted the amendments in the update effective at the beginning of fiscal 2013 on a prospective basis, and they did not have a material effect on CSC's Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
On December 16, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which provides guidance on disclosure of information pertaining to the offsetting (netting) of assets and liabilities in the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU affect all entities that have financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset in accordance with either ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45, or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASU 2011-11 amends the existing disclosure requirements on offsetting in ASC 210-20-50 by requiring disclosures relating to gross amounts of recognized assets and liabilities, the amounts that are offset, net amounts presented in the balance sheet, and amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The amendments in the update become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of the amendments of this update is not expected to have a material effect on CSC's Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
On July 27, 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment,” which will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. Under the amendments in the ASU an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with Subtopic 350-30. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The amendments in the ASU are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012 if the most recent annual or interim financial statements have not yet been issued. The adoption of the amendments of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on CSC's consolidated financial statements.
iSOFT Acquisition in Fiscal 2012
On July 29, 2011, CSC completed the acquisition of iSOFT Group Limited (iSOFT), a publicly-held company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. iSOFT is a global healthcare information technology company providing advanced application solutions principally to secondary care providers across both the public and private sectors. The acquisition complements and strengthens CSC’s software products, healthcare integration and services portfolio, and its healthcare research and development capabilities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
CSC acquired all of the outstanding shares in iSOFT for cash consideration of $200 million and the assumption of debt of $315 million, of which $298 million was repaid immediately after the acquisition.
The results of iSOFT have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statement from the date of acquisition within its Business Solutions and Services (BSS) segment. For the three months ended June 29, 2012, iSOFT contributed revenues of $54 million and a net operating loss of $28 million. The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of the Company as if the acquisition of iSOFT had occurred on April 3, 2010 for all periods presented:

The pro forma financial information above is not indicative of the results that would have actually been obtained if the acquisition had occurred on April 3, 2010, or that may be obtained in the future. No effect has been given to cost reductions or operating synergies relating to the integration of iSOFT in the Company’s operations. The information for the three months ended July 1, 2011 has been adjusted to exclude $37 million of goodwill impairment recorded by iSOFT in June 2011.

Also during fiscal 2012, CSC acquired two small privately-held entities for $28 million in all-cash transactions plus additional consideration of up to $2 million contingent on achievement of agreed revenue targets for future periods through the end of May 2014. The acquisitions will enhance CSC’s offerings in the healthcare information technology and financial services industries.
The results of the acquired businesses have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements from the dates of acquisition. The pro forma financial information for these acquisitions is not presented as these acquisitions, both individually and in the aggregate, are not material to CSC’s consolidated results.
The purchase prices were allocated to net assets acquired based on estimates of fair values at the dates of acquisition as: $8 million to current assets, $2 million to property and equipment, $7 million to intangible assets, $6 million to liabilities and $17 million to goodwill. Identified intangible assets consist primarily of customer related intangibles with useful lives of 4-10 years. Of the $17 million goodwill, $14 million is associated with the Company’s North American Public Sector (NPS) segment and $3 million with the BSS segment. The $14 million goodwill associated with the NPS segment is expected to be tax deductible.

Note 4 – | Investigations and Out of Period Adjustments |
Summary of Audit Committee and SEC Investigations Related to the Out of Period Adjustments
Background
As previously disclosed in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012, the Company initiated an investigation into out of period adjustments resulting from certain accounting errors in our MSS segment, primarily involving accounting irregularities in the Nordic region. Initially, the investigation was conducted by Company personnel, but outside Company counsel and forensic accountants retained by such counsel later assisted in the Company’s investigation. On January 28, 2011, the Company was notified by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement that it had commenced a formal civil investigation relating to these matters, which investigation has subsequently been expanded to other matters subsequently identified by the SEC, including matters specified in subpoenas issued to the Company from time to time by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement as well as matters under investigation by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, as further described below. The Company is cooperating in the SEC’s investigation.
On May 2, 2011, the Audit Committee commenced an independent investigation into the matters relating to the MSS segment and the Nordic region, matters identified by subpoenas issued by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, and certain other accounting matters identified by the Audit Committee and retained independent counsel to represent CSC on behalf of, and under the exclusive direction of, the Audit Committee in connection with such independent investigation. Independent counsel retained forensic accountants to assist their work. Independent counsel also represents CSC on behalf of, and under the exclusive direction of, the Audit Committee in connection with the investigation by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement.
COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
The Audit Committee’s investigation was expanded to encompass (i) the Company’s operations in Australia, (ii) certain aspects of the Company’s accounting practices within its Americas Outsourcing operation, and (iii) certain of the Company’s accounting practices that involve the percentage of completion accounting method, including the Company’s contract with the U.K. National Health Service (NHS). In the course of the Audit Committee's expanded investigation, accounting errors and irregularities were identified. As a result, certain personnel have been reprimanded, suspended, terminated and/or resigned. The Audit Committee determined in August 2012 that its independent investigation is complete and the Committee has instructed its independent counsel to cooperate with the SEC Division of Enforcement by completing production of documents and providing any further information requested by the SEC Division of Enforcement.
In fiscal 2012 and subsequently during fiscal 2013, certain additional items have been identified but not yet recorded related to the NHS contract that could have an effect on the amount and the allocation of the out of period adjustments for fiscal 2013 and prior fiscal years. At this time, management does not believe that the effect of these additional items will be material to the Company's financial statements. However, the Company's investigation into these additional items is ongoing, and the amount could change and the allocation across years is likely to change.
Any out of period adjustments identified, including items that self corrected within a fiscal year, by the Company to date are hereinafter identified in this Note 4.
The Company believes the SEC also has expanded its investigation into the foregoing areas as well as into certain related disclosure matters. The SEC's investigative activities are ongoing. In addition, the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance has issued comment letters to the Company requesting, among other things, additional information regarding its previously disclosed adjustments in connection with the above-referenced accounting errors, the Company's conclusions relating to materiality of such adjustments, and the Company's analysis of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting. The Division of Corporation Finance's comment letter process is ongoing, and the Company is continuing to cooperate with that process.
The investigation being conducted by the SEC's Division of Enforcement and the review of our financial disclosures by the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance are continuing and could identify other accounting errors, irregularities or other areas of review. As a result, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant legal and accounting expenditures, and a significant amount of time of our senior management has been focused on these matters that otherwise would have been focused on the growth of the Company. We are unable to predict how long the Division of Enforcement's investigation will continue or whether, at the conclusion of its investigation, the SEC will seek to impose fines or take other actions against us. In addition, we are unable to predict the timing of the completion of the Division of Corporation Finance's review of our financial disclosures or the outcome of such review. Publicity surrounding the foregoing or any enforcement action as a result of the SEC's investigation, even if ultimately resolved favorably for us, could have an adverse impact on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Fiscal 2013 Financial Impact Summary
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded various adjustments primarily in its NPS and BSS segments
COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
reducing income from continuing operations before taxes by $1 million and increasing net income by $5 million that should have been recorded in prior fiscal years. The out of period adjustments recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were comprised of $17 million of charges reducing income from continuing operations before taxes and $16 million of adjustments increasing income from continuing operations before taxes. The $17 million of pre-tax charges and $16 million of offsetting pre-tax credits included $10 million and $4 million, respectively of adjustments identified by the Company late in the fiscal 2012 closing process, and due to the immaterial amounts involved, were not included in the Company's consolidated fiscal 2012 financial statements. The $17 million of pre-tax charges also included $7 million of adjustments identified and recorded by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily related to a $2 million software revenue recognition correction and a $2 million adjustment to prepaid expenses. Included in the $16 million of offsetting pre-tax credits were $12 million of adjustments identified and recorded by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 consisting of $10 million of reductions to accrued expenses related to the restructuring costs recorded by the Company in fiscal 2012 and a $2 million correction of incentive compensation costs recorded in fiscal 2012. As noted above, the NPS and BSS segments were primarily impacted by the net out of period adjustments recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 with income from continuing operations before taxes for NPS and BSS reduced by $6 million and increased by $4 million, respectively. The Company also recorded a $2 million tax benefit in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 related to prior periods. The $2 million tax benefit was attributable to the adjustment of the deferred tax liability related to intellectual property assets.
In fiscal 2012 and subsequently during fiscal 2013 certain additional items have been identified but not yet recorded related to the NHS contract that could have an effect on the amount and the allocation of the out of period adjustments for fiscal 2013 and prior fiscal years. At this time, management does not believe that the effect of these additional items will be material to the Company's financial statements. However, the Company's investigation into these additional items is ongoing, and the amount could change and the allocation across years is likely to change.

The out of period adjustments impacting income from continuing operations before taxes recorded by the Company in the three months ended June 29, 2012 are related to the following consolidated balance sheet line items:
| |
• | Prepaid expenses ($2 million decrease) |
| |
• | Property and equipment ($1 million decrease) |
| |
• | Deferred revenue ($8 million increase) |
| |
• | Accrued expenses and other current liabilities ($10 million decrease) |
The Company has determined that the impact of the consolidated out of period adjustments recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 is immaterial to the consolidated results, financial position and cash flows for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and prior years. Consequently, the cumulative effect of these adjustments was recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
Effect of Adjustments on Prior Year Financial Statements
As previously disclosed, during fiscal 2012, the Company recorded various pre-tax adjustments that should have been recorded in prior fiscal years. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, based on information then known by the Company, the Company identified and recorded out of period adjustments primarily to cost of services reducing income from continuing operations before taxes by $5 million within its MSS segment. The $5 million in pre-tax adjustments were comprised of $4 million of charges in MSS' Nordic operations and $1 million related to other MSS operations attributable to an understatement of accrued expenses in fiscal 2011 due to errors in the calculation of management incentive compensation. As a result of the ongoing investigation, the $1 million error was subsequently determined by the Company to be a $3 million out of period adjustment. This item included multiple components, a portion of which the Company previously considered not to be related to out of period errors. Based on the results of the independent investigation, the Company now attributes the $3 million adjustment to Other Errors, which include both unintentional errors and errors for which the categorization is unclear.
Further out of period adjustments were identified in subsequent quarters of fiscal 2012. The aggregate fiscal 2012 adjustments, including those noted above with respect to the first quarter of fiscal 2012, reduced income from continuing operations before taxes by $79 million ($63 million net of tax) and were comprised of $13 million of charges in the Nordic region, $23 million of charges in the Company's operations in Australia, and $25 million of charges originating from the NHS contract in the Company's BSS segment. Additionally, $16 million and $2 million of charges were recorded in the NPS segment and other operations of the Company, respectively. The fiscal 2012 out of period adjustments primarily related to the Company’s MSS and BSS segments, with $37 million and $26 million within MSS and BSS, respectively.
The select line items of the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended July 1, 2011 impacted by the out of period adjustments, including those recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, under the rollover method are shown below.

The money market funds and deposit accounts and time deposits are reported in cash and cash equivalents; short-term investments and derivative assets are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets; and derivative liabilities are included in other accrued expenses. Gains and losses from changes in the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities are included in earnings and reported in other (income) expense. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.
Derivative assets and liabilities include foreign currency forward contracts and currency options. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts represents the estimated amount required to settle the contracts using current market exchange rates, and is based on the year-end foreign currency exchange rates and forward points. The fair value of currency options is estimated based on external valuation models that use the original strike price, movement and volatility in foreign currency exchange rates, and length of time to expiration as inputs.

Fair value measurements on a non-recurring basis
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include goodwill, tangible assets, intangible assets, and other contract related long-lived assets. Such assets are reviewed quarterly for impairment indicators and remeasured when the estimated fair value of the corresponding asset or asset group is less than the carrying value. The fair value measurements, in such instances, are based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). There were no significant impairments recorded during the three months ended June 29, 2012.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments with short-term maturities are deemed to approximate their market values. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt, excluding capital leases, was $1,060 million and $1,073 million and the estimated fair value was $1,150 million and $1,190 million as of June 29, 2012, and March 30, 2012, respectively. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on the current interest rates offered to the Company for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities and are classified as Level 2. The Company's company-owned-life-insurance policies are recorded at their cash surrender value.
The primary financial instruments other than derivatives (see Note 7) which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are accounts receivable. The Company’s customer base includes Fortune 500 companies, the U.S. federal and other governments and other significant, well-known companies operating in North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim. Credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is minimized because of the nature and diversification of the Company’s customer base. Furthermore, the Company continuously reviews its accounts receivable and records provisions for doubtful accounts as needed.
The Company’s credit risk is also affected by customers in bankruptcy proceedings; however, because most of these proceedings involve business reorganizations rather than liquidations and the nature of the Company’s services are often considered essential to the operational continuity of these customers, the Company is generally able to avoid or mitigate significant adverse financial impact in these cases. As of June 29, 2012, the Company had $24 million of accounts receivable, $8 million of related allowance for doubtful accounts, and $4 million of other assets with customers involved in bankruptcy proceedings.

Note 7 – | Foreign Currency Derivative Instruments |
As a large global organization, the Company faces exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. During the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into certain contracts denominated in foreign currency. Potential foreign currency exposures arising from these contracts are analyzed during the contract bidding process. The Company generally manages these transactions by incurring costs to service contracts in the same currency in which revenue is received. Short-term contract financing requirements are met by borrowing in the same currency. By generally matching revenues, costs and borrowings to the same currency, the Company has been able to substantially mitigate foreign currency risk to earnings. However, as business practices evolve, the Company is increasing its use of offshore support and is therefore becoming more exposed to currency fluctuations.
The Company established policies and procedures to manage the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency by using short-term foreign currency forward and option contracts to hedge certain foreign currency assets and liabilities, including intercompany loans and certain revenues denominated in non-functional currencies. For accounting purposes, these foreign currency contracts are not designated as hedges, as defined under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and all changes in fair value are reported as part of other (income) expense. The Company uses these instruments as economic hedges and not for speculative or trading purposes.
The notional amount of the foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012 was $1,964 million and $2,138 million, respectively. The notional amount of option contracts outstanding as of June 29, 2012 and March 30, 2012 was $526 million and $785 million, respectively.
The estimated fair values of the foreign currency derivative assets and liabilities were $2 million and $18 million, respectively, as of June 29, 2012, and $12 million and $14 million, respectively, as of March 30, 2012 (see Note 6).
COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company is subject to counterparty credit risks. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into forward and option contracts with several financial institutions and regularly reviews its credit exposure and the creditworthiness of the counterparties. As of June 29, 2012, there were five counterparties with concentration of credit risk. The maximum amount of loss, based on gross fair value of the foreign currency derivative instruments that the Company could incur, is $2 million.

During the quarter ended June 29, 2012, the Company recorded additional contractual termination benefits for a certain U.K. pension plan of $5 million based on revised estimates related to the restructuring plan to reduce headcount initiated in March 2012. These contractual termination benefits are reflected in the projected benefit obligation at the end of the quarter and recognized in net periodic pension cost during the first quarter.
The Company contributed $56 million to the defined benefit pension plans during the quarter ended June 29, 2012 and expects to contribute approximately $251 million during fiscal 2013. Additional contributions may be required to meet funding levels as required by Section 430 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006, the amount of which will be determined based upon actuarial valuations that will be performed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
The components of net periodic benefit cost for postretirement benefit plans, reported on a global basis, included the following:

During the quarter ended June 29, 2012, the Company contributed $1 million to the postretirement benefit plans. The Company expects to contribute approximately $10 million to the postretirement benefit plans during fiscal 2013.
The Company received a $1 million subsidy in the quarter ended June 29, 2012 in connection with the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003.
The Company's effective tax rate (ETR) was 43.2% and (84.2)% for the first quarters ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively. The primary driver of the ETR in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was a net increase in valuation allowances in non-US jurisdictions and the global mix of income. The primary driver of the ETR in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was an election made by the Company to change the tax status of one of its foreign subsidiaries. This change in tax status resulted in a deemed liquidation for U.S. tax purposes and triggered various deductions which resulted in an income tax benefit of approximately $121 million and reduced ETR by 119.8%
There were no material changes to uncertain tax positions in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal year-end 2012.
The Company may settle tax examinations, have lapses in statutes of limitations, or voluntarily settle income tax positions in negotiated settlements for different amounts than the Company has accrued as uncertain tax positions. The Company may need to accrue and ultimately pay additional amounts for tax positions that previously met a more likely than not standard if such positions are not upheld. Conversely, the Company could settle positions with the tax authorities for amounts lower than have been accrued or extinguish a position through payment. The Company believes the outcomes which are reasonably possible within the next twelve months may result in a reduction in the liability for uncertain tax positions of up to $7 million, excluding interest, penalties, and tax carryforwards.

Note 11 – | Stock Incentive Plans |
As of June 29, 2012, the Company had outstanding stock-based incentive awards issued pursuant to various shareholder-approved plans. For the quarters ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | |
| | Quarter Ended |
(Amounts in millions) | | June 29, 2012 | | July 1, 2011 |
Cost of services | | $ | 3 |

| | 3 |
|
Total | | $ | 7 |
| | $ | 5 |
|
Total, net of tax | | $ | 4 |
| | $ | 3 |
|
The Company’s overall stock-based compensation granting practice has not changed year over year, except that starting with fiscal 2012's long-term incentive program, restricted stock units (RSUs) represent a larger portion of total stock-based compensation awards than in the past. Adjustments for actual and expected achievement of the specified performance criteria for certain performance-based RSUs decreased stock-based compensation expense recognized for the quarter
ended June 29, 2012 by $3 million, which is predominantly represented by participants in selling, general and administrative positions. An adjustment to reflect actual forfeiture experience for the prior fiscal year decreased stock-based compensation expense recognized for the quarters ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011 by $3 million and $5 million, respectively.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton model in determining the fair value of options granted. The weighted average grant date fair values of stock options granted during the quarters ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011 were $7.03, and $10.28 per share, respectively. In calculating the compensation expense for its stock incentive plans, the Company used the following weighted average assumptions:
|
| | | | | |
| Quarter Ended |
| June 29, 2012 | | July 1, 2011 |
Risk-free interest rate | 1.13 | % | | 1.83 | % |
Expected volatility | 36 | % | | 31 | % |
Expected term (in years) | 6.45 | | 6.13 |
Dividend yield | 2.87 | % | | 1.75 | % |
During the quarters ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, the Company's actual tax benefit realized for tax deductions from exercising stock options and RSU releases was $2 million and $5 million, respectively, and an excess tax benefit of $0 million and $2 million, respectively, related to all of its stock incentive plans.
Employee Incentives
The Company has three stock incentive plans which authorize the issuance of stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based incentives to employees upon terms approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company issues authorized but previously unissued shares upon the exercise of stock options, the granting of restricted stock and the redemption of RSUs. As of June 29, 2012, 10,293,825 shares of CSC common stock were available for the grant of future stock options, equity awards or other stock-based incentives to employees.
Stock Options
The Company’s standard vesting schedule for stock options is one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. Stock options are generally granted for a term of ten years. Information concerning stock options granted under stock incentive plans is as follows:

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the quarters ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, was $0 million and $5 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options is based on the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s common stock less the applicable exercise price. The cash received from stock options exercised during the quarters ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, was $0 million and $13 million, respectively.
As of June 29, 2012, there was $41 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options, net of expected forfeitures. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.01 years.

Other Equity Awards
Other Equity Awards include RSUs that generally vest over periods of three to five years. RSUs consist of shares of common stock of the Company issued at a price of $0. Upon the vesting date, RSUs are automatically redeemed for shares of CSC common stock and dividend equivalents. If, prior to the redemption in full of the RSU, the employee’s status as a full-time employee is terminated, then the RSU is automatically canceled on the employment termination date and any unvested shares are forfeited.
A portion of the Other Equity Awards granted during the quarter ended June 29, 2012 consisted of performance-based RSUs. The number of units that ultimately vest pursuant to such awards is dependent upon the Company’s achievement of certain specified performance criteria over a three-year period. Awards are redeemed for shares of CSC common stock and dividend equivalents upon the filing with the SEC of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year of the performance period. Compensation expense during the performance period is estimated at each reporting date using management’s expectation of the probable achievement of the specified performance criteria and is adjusted to the extent the expected achievement changes. In the table below, such awards are reflected at the number of shares to be redeemed upon achievement of target performance measures.
During the quarter ended June 29, 2012, certain executives were awarded service-based RSUs for which the shares are redeemable over the ten anniversaries following the executive’s termination, provided the executive remains a full-time employee of the Company until reaching the earlier of age 65 or age 55 or over with at least ten years of service and after termination complies with certain non-competition covenants during the ten-year period.

When a holder of RSUs ceases to be a director of the Company, the RSUs are automatically redeemed for shares of CSC common stock and dividend equivalents with respect to such shares. The number of shares to be delivered upon redemption is equal to the number of RSUs that are vested at the time the holder ceases to be a director. At the holder’s election, the RSUs may be redeemed (i) in their entirety, upon the day the holder ceases to be a director, or (ii) in substantially equal amounts upon the first five, ten or fifteen anniversaries of such termination of service.

The foreign currency translation amount relates to the impact of currency movements on non-U.S. dollar denominated goodwill balances.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, as of the first day of the second fiscal quarter, and between annual tests if an event occurs, or circumstances change, that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred between annual testing dates. Such indicators may include: a significant decline in expected future cash flows; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; unanticipated competition; and the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company evaluated whether there were factors which would indicate there is a potential impairment of goodwill as of June 29, 2012. The Company considered, among other factors, the Company's fiscal 2013 forecast, the outlook for the Company's business and industry, the Company's market capitalization, and the potential US federal government budget sequestration to determine if an interim goodwill impairment test was required. Based on that evaluation, the Company determined that there have been no events or changes in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of its reporting units below their carrying amounts, and an interim impairment test was not necessary as of June 29, 2012. The Company will perform its annual goodwill analysis in the second quarter, and any further significant declines in CSC’s stock price or any further significant adverse changes in the business climate or operating results could result in impairment charges.

Note 15 – | Restructuring Costs |
In March 2012, the Company initiated restructuring actions primarily impacting its MSS segment. The objectives of this plan were to (i) align the Company's workforce across various geographies with business needs, (ii) increase use of lower cost off-shore resources, and (iii) optimize utilization of facilities. Actions under this plan commenced in March 2012 and are expected to be carried out through fiscal 2013, which will result in additional charges.
The net restructuring costs accrued in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 comprise costs associated with employee terminations. The net restructuring costs also include pension benefit augmentations that are due to certain employees in accordance with legal or contractual obligations, which will be paid out over several years as part of normal pension distributions. Total additional net restructuring costs recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were $27 million. Of the total $27 million, $13 million relates to MSS and $14 million to BSS.

Note 16 – | Contract with the U.K. National Health Service |
The Agreement
The Company and the U.K. National Health Service (NHS) are parties to a £2.9 billion (approximately $5.4 billion at originally announced exchange rates) contract under which the Company is developing and deploying an integrated electronic patient records system. The NHS contract was amended in April 2009 and the parties have entered into variation agreements subsequent to the 2009 amendment agreeing to various operational terms and conditions. The 2009 amendment included mutual releases of all claims existing at the time of the amendment.
In 2010, as part of the U.K. government’s austerity program and to address delays in development and deployments, the Company and NHS discussed modification of the contract scope in order to reduce the total contract value by £500 million. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, additional scope modification and total contract value reduction were discussed, bringing the combined total contract value reductions to £764 million which would reduce the total contract value to approximately £2.1 billion or $3.3 billion. Terms related to this scope modification and contract value reduction were included in a negotiated but unsigned memorandum of understanding (MOU), which is described in greater detail below.
As previously disclosed, CSC was informed by NHS in December 2011 that neither the MOU nor the related contract amendment then under discussion would be approved by the U.K. government. Based on subsequent discussions between CSC and the NHS regarding proposals advanced by both parties reflecting significant scope modifications, a reduced commitment by the NHS for deployment of the Lorenzo software product, revised delivery and payment terms, payments by the NHS for CSC-incurred costs and commitment and contract value reductions that differed materially from those contemplated by the MOU, on March 2, 2012, CSC and the NHS entered into a non-binding letter of intent that included the statement of principles that would serve as the basis for an interim agreement between the parties. The letter of intent, which is without prejudice and is described in greater detail below, contemplates that under the interim agreement the NHS would provide a commitment of a certain number of trusts, some to be named in the interim agreement and the remainder within six months, to receive the Lorenzo software product, the principal software product under the contract owned and licensed by the Company’s subsidiary, iSOFT Group Limited, and which has been redefined into deployment units categorized as "base product" and "additional product" for pricing purposes.
While the parties intended to conclude a binding interim agreement by June 29, 2012, as previously disclosed, no agreement was reached by this date. On May 31, 2012, the previously disclosed Lorenzo-related standstill agreement was extended to August 31, 2012. Discussions concerning the interim agreement are continuing positively.
There can be no assurance that CSC and NHS will enter into the interim agreement or any amendment to the existing agreement or if the parties do not enter into the interim agreement or an amendment by August 31, 2012 that the Lorenzo-related standstill arrangement will be further extended. Likewise, there can be no assurance that if the interim agreement

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
or any amendment are negotiated and entered into, that such documents as finally negotiated will be on terms favorable to CSC or as provided in the letter of intent.
Background
Since CSC and NHS signed the 2009 contract amendment discussed above, various disputes have arisen between the parties, primarily related to delays in development and deployment of the Lorenzo software product. NHS notified the Company of various alleged events of default under the contract related to these delays and other alleged operational issues. In response, the Company has cured or is in the process of curing the alleged events of default, asserted that failures and breaches of contract on the part of NHS have caused these delays and issues, paid certain immaterial amounts as delay deductions into escrow under the contract for final resolution as part of the expected contract amendment, or otherwise disputed these allegations. Except as described below with regard to NHS’ allegations related to Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust (Pennine), when NHS has notified the Company of alleged events of default, it has generally reserved its rights without demanding, pursuing or otherwise asserting further remedies.
On February 4, 2011, NHS formally notified the Company that it believed the Company’s failure to achieve a key milestone related to the Pennine Lorenzo deployment by January 28, 2011, constituted a breach of contract and NHS was considering its position on termination of all or parts of the contract; however, NHS subsequently clarified that its notice was not intended to suggest that termination was the only option which it was considering and, in fact, NHS was considering the full range of options it believed were available to NHS. The Company has disputed the alleged breach. NHS is not at this time actively pursuing this claim under the dispute resolution procedures of the contract. Notwithstanding the dispute, both NHS and the Company continued discussions with the intention of finalizing the terms of the MOU. Pennine subsequently elected not to continue with the Lorenzo deployment, and Humber NHS Foundation Trust (Humber) became the early adopter for mental health functionality to replace Pennine Care Mental Health Trust. CSC and the NHS negotiated an agreement to document this replacement under the contract and the deployment to Humber went live in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
As described above, NHS and the Company were in discussions in 2010 and 2011 regarding an MOU which would set forth an agreement in principle to the key terms of a reduction in scope, and related total contract value. Beginning in the second half of fiscal year 2011, the MOU discussions also included negotiation of terms and conditions which would form the basis for the parties’ future obligations under the contract and final resolution of all claims and disputes between the parties. The MOU generally represented a non-binding agreement in principle; however, it included a legally binding standstill agreement which provided that, while the parties were negotiating a contract amendment to implement the terms of the MOU, neither party would pursue any claims against the other party. Negotiation of the terms of the MOU was confirmed by the NHS to be substantially completed in May 2011. Subsequent government reviews of the MOU occurred as follows. A review of the overall NHS IT program for delivery of an integrated electronic patient records system, including but not limited to the Company’s contract with NHS, was conducted by the U.K. Major Projects Authority, the joint U.K. Cabinet Office-Treasury body which oversees large public sector projects, and is described further below. The U.K. House of Commons Public Accounts Committee also undertook a review of the overall NHS IT program and issued its report on August 3, 2011. The Committee’s report was critical of the performance of the IT suppliers involved in the program, including that of the Company, and of NHS’ management of the program, as well as the benefits achieved under the program to date. Further, the Committee recommended that the Department of Health should review whether to continue the program and whether the remaining program funding should be spent elsewhere. The Committee also recommended that the Major Projects Authority exercise close scrutiny over the NHS’ continuing negotiations with the Company and that the government give serious consideration to whether the Company has proved itself fit to tender for other government work. The NHS advised the Public Accounts Committee in the Committee’s May 23, 2011, public hearing that it intended to go forward with the IT program and to complete negotiations with the Company.
On September 22, 2011 the U.K. Major Projects Authority published in redacted form its “Programme Assessment Review of the National Programme for IT” (NPfIT) following completion of its review of the overall NHS IT program for delivery of an integrated electronic patient records system. The review included a review of the Company’s Local Service Provider contract. The Major Projects Authority concluded that the elements and vision of NPfIT relating to connectivity and flexibility remain valid, however the view of a single all encompassing service delivering full integration does not align with the needs of clinicians and should be simplified. The report also concluded that the Local Service Provider contracts, including the Company’s contract, are owned centrally but delivered into a care setting that is the responsibility of
COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
individual trusts and, therefore, authority and responsibility under these contracts in the future should be clearly aligned in the new NHS environment of local decision making. The Company publicly expressed its full support for this direction, which was first announced by the NHS in September 2010, and believes that the significantly modified, more flexible approach proposed by the Company in the MOU to drive faster deployment and support more localized decision making would enable the U.K. government to reap the benefits required from past investments. In a statement issued on September 22, 2011, Cabinet Office ministers and NHS officials stated that they would continue to work with existing suppliers, such as the Company, to determine the best way to deliver services in a way which allows the local NHS to exercise choice while delivering the best value for money. The Company reiterated to the U.K. government its view that these factors were key principles on which the parties conceived and negotiated the MOU.
In November 2011, the Company, the NHS and Cabinet officials resumed discussions on the MOU and the way forward, which included discussions regarding a proposed contract amendment with different scope modifications and contract value reductions than those contemplated by the MOU. In late December 2011, CSC was informed that neither the MOU nor the contract amendment then under discussion would be approved by the government. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CSC and the NHS continue discussions in 2012 regarding proposals advanced by both parties, which led to the execution of the letter of intent discussed above.
Under the March 2, 2012 letter of intent executed by CSC and NHS, the parties have agreed to a set of high-level principles, which are intended to be reflected in a binding interim agreement to be entered into by the parties. The non-binding letter of intent contemplates that under the interim agreement, NHS will provide a commitment of a certain number of trusts, some to be named in the interim agreement and the remainder within six months, to receive the Lorenzo software product, which has been redefined into deployment units categorized as “base product” and “additional product” for pricing purposes. In addition to the amounts committed by NHS for the base product, additional amounts will be available from centrally available funds for additional products, supplemental trust activity and local configuration. The letter of intent also contemplates that the interim agreement will provide for a structured set of payments following certain product deliveries, as well as additional payments to CSC, which would cover, among other items, various deployments for the named trusts and payments for work already performed. Any payments would be made only if the binding interim agreement is entered into by the parties.
The letter of intent provides that the interim agreement will contain an optional purchase arrangement for those additional trusts (other than the committed named trusts) that choose to take a deployment of Lorenzo. Pricing will be the same as that applicable to the committed named trusts.
The letter of intent provides for an interim Lorenzo-related standstill arrangement and contemplates that a mutual release of all accrued claims with respect to the Lorenzo deployments will be included as part of the interim agreement. The interim agreement, if agreed, will form the basis of an amendment and restatement of the existing NHS contract to be negotiated by the parties. Entry into the interim agreement, and ultimately the amendment, will require U.K. government approvals. There can be no assurance that such approvals will be obtained.
While the parties intended to conclude a binding interim agreement by June 29, 2012, as previously disclosed, no agreement was reached by this date. On May 31, 2012, the previously disclosed Lorenzo-related standstill agreement was extended to August 31, 2012. Discussions concerning the interim agreement are continuing positively.
There can be no assurance that CSC and NHS will enter into the interim agreement or any amendment to the existing agreement or if the parties do not enter into the interim agreement or an amendment by August 31, 2012 that the Lorenzo-related standstill arrangement will be further extended. Likewise, there can be no assurance that if the interim agreement or any amendment are negotiated and entered into, that such documents as finally negotiated will be on terms favorable to CSC or as provided in the letter of intent.

Contract accounting
The contract has been accounted for using the percentage of completion method based on management’s best estimates of total contract revenue and costs. While software development and deployment activities continue in cooperation with the NHS, because of the December 2011 communication rejecting the MOU referred to above, the proposals to significantly reduce the scope and value of the Lorenzo deployments, and the uncertainty over the results of these negotiations, CSC revised its estimate of revenues and costs at completion under this method during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 to include only those revenues reasonably assured of collection. As a result of this change in estimate, the Company recorded a $1,485 million contract charge in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, resulting in no material remaining net assets. The Company concluded that an additional forward loss was not evident at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012, so no further loss was accrued. This conclusion was re-affirmed at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.
The Company continues to account for the contract under the percentage of completion method, and will evaluate on a quarterly basis whether or not a forward loss is evident. The Company will also evaluate whether it is appropriate to record contract-related net assets, which should only be recorded if recoverability of the assets is considered probable. Costs will be recorded as incurred and revenue recorded as earned. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, expenses exceeded revenue, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $32 million. Under percentage of completion accounting guidance, the excess costs could be deferred and an asset recorded, if no future loss is expected. However, the Company determined that costs should not be deferred at fiscal 2012 year-end due to uncertainty over whether such an asset could be recovered given the uncertainty surrounding ongoing negotiations.
During the quarter, the Company earned revenues of $88 million and incurred costs of $68 million. The excess revenue was primarily a result of achieving a key milestone associated with the Lorenzo Care Management software on the contract that was agreed to by the NHS, as well as from delivery of the software at three sites. Because of uncertainty over the future profitability of the contract, the Company accrued additional costs of $20 million so as to record no profit for the quarter. The Company has concluded that a further loss is not evident based on the current status of its negotiations with the NHS. The Company's net investment in the contract at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was approximately $97 million, consisting primarily of $144 million of billed and unbilled receivables, partially offset by deferred revenue and accrued expenses. The receivables included $56 million associated with the Lorenzo Care Management revenue noted above as well as additional balances associated with ongoing non-Lorenzo activities.
While the contract is in a cumulative loss position, and while a forward loss is not evident and has not been accrued, further losses could be incurred by CSC depending on the outcome of negotiations, the terms of any potential agreement, or if no agreement is concluded. The Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs; however, such costs could be material. In addition, depending on the outcome of the negotiations discussed above, it is also reasonably possible that an agreement amending the terms of the NHS contract, if concluded, could result in a payment to the Company for the recovery of a portion of the amounts that have been written off and therefore generate a gain in the near term, net of the Company's net investment in the contract of approximately $97 million. However, there can be no assurance that an agreement with NHS will be concluded, that the terms of any such agreement would be favorable to CSC or as provided in the letter of intent, that any gain will be generated in the event such an agreement is concluded or that any recovery will occur.
Other matters
On April 1, 2011, pursuant to the Company's Local Service Provider contract, the NHS made an advance payment to the Company of £200 million (currently approximately $319 million) related to the forecasted charges expected by the Company during fiscal year 2012. The amount of this advance payment contemplated the scope and deployment schedule expected under the MOU and the parties had anticipated that the MOU would be completed and contract amendment negotiations would be underway by September 30, 2011. The advance payment agreement provided the NHS the option to require repayment of the advance payment if the parties were not progressing satisfactorily toward completion of the expected contract amendment by September 30, 2011. Because completion of the MOU had been subject to delays in government approvals and, as a result, contract amendment negotiations had not progressed, the NHS required the Company to repay approximately £170 million (approximately $265 million) of the April 1, 2011 advance payment on September 30, 2011, and the Company agreed and made the repayment as requested. The Company repaid the remaining advance contract payment during March 2012.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
NHS has the right to terminate the contract for convenience, in which case NHS would owe significant termination fees to the Company and would be subject to claims by the Company as further described below. The Company believes that NHS, when considering its alternatives of maintaining the contract in existing or varied form or terminating the contract, will consider costs and risks that NHS may incur over and above those related to termination fees, damages and costs that may be payable to the Company and the associated legal processes, including the cost of initiating and managing a public tender procedure or procedures to obtain one or more suitable replacement suppliers, the operational risk of switching suppliers at this stage in the contract with the Company, the cost of alternative suppliers, and the cost of obtaining exit management services from the Company to ensure an orderly transition to one or more replacement suppliers. In addition, if NHS terminated the contract for convenience, possible claims that the Company has against NHS include claims for compensation due to delays and excess costs caused by NHS or for contractual deployment delay remedies or for costs associated with change. In the event of termination for convenience, the contract states that the total amount recoverable by the Company solely from termination fees payable by NHS is determined in accordance with a contractual formula. This formula includes a cap which varies by reference to the date of termination, but in any event decreases on a monthly basis with total elimination of termination fees by April 2015. Based upon events to date, the Company does not anticipate that the NHS will terminate the contract.
However, if NHS had terminated the entire contract for convenience with immediate effect at June 29, 2012, the termination fee would have been capped at approximately £329 million ($515 million). In addition, the Company would be entitled by way of termination fee to a sum to compensate for the profit that CSC would have earned over the following twelve months had the contract not been terminated. Additional amounts recoverable from claims by the Company or any mitigation efforts by the Company are uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company’s total recovery in a termination for convenience scenario, therefore, would depend on a number of factors but would likely be greater than the net asset value associated with the contract, which at June 29, 2012 is $97 million. Future deployment delays caused by the Company could, however, result in reduced recovery by the Company.
If the parties do not successfully conclude an amendment, either or both parties could elect to assert claims against the other for breach of contract or similar claims. Subject to a legal obligation to mitigate its damages and subject to contractual limits of the Company’s liability, NHS could elect in this event to seek delay damages under the contract or terminate the contract and seek damages from the Company, including alleged damages for the cost of a replacement system and for unrealized savings and benefits under the contract. The Company could assert claims against NHS for breach of contract and seek damages from NHS, including compensation due to delays and excess costs caused by NHS or for contractual deployment delay remedies. If NHS wrongfully seeks to terminate the contract and refuses to withdraw its termination notice following the Company's demand, the Company could assert a claim for wrongful termination and seek damages for repudiatory breach of contract. Although the parties have not asserted claims formally in any arbitration or other legal proceeding, there can be no assurance that in any such proceeding NHS will not assert claims against the Company for damages in a material amount. The Company believes that the NHS contract is enforceable and that NHS has no existing right to terminate the contract. However, contractual disputes and litigation of this nature are complex and inherently uncertain and the Company’s position is subject to the ongoing review and evaluation of new facts and information which may come to the Company’s attention. If a contractual dispute or litigation ensues, the outcome is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the Company would prevail or that the NHS would not obtain a judgment and a material award of damages against the Company which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. If the NHS wrongfully terminated the contract on the basis of alleged material breach by the Company, the Company believes that it would be entitled to recovery for damages; however, the amount of any such recovery is uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Commitments
In the normal course of business, the Company may provide certain clients, principally governmental entities, with financial performance guarantees, which are generally backed by stand-by letters of credit or surety bonds. In general, the Company would only be liable for the amounts of these guarantees in the event that nonperformance by the Company permits termination of the related contract by the Company’s client. As of June 29, 2012, the Company had $211 million of outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds relating to these performance guarantees. The Company believes it is in
COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
compliance with its performance obligations under all service contracts for which there is a financial performance guarantee, and the ultimate liability, if any, incurred in connection with these guarantees will not have a material adverse affect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.
The Company also uses stand-by letters of credit, in lieu of cash, to support various risk management insurance policies. These letters of credit represent a contingent liability and the Company would only be liable if it defaults on its payment obligations towards these policies. As of June 29, 2012, the Company had $79 million of outstanding stand-by letters of credit. The Company also guarantees working capital lines of credit for certain of its non-U.S. business units with local financial institutions. Generally, such guarantees have a one-year term and are renewed annually.
The foreign subsidiary debt guarantees are corporate guarantees issued to secure uncommitted credit facilities for the benefit of the Company's foreign business units.
The following table summarizes the expiration of the Company’s financial guarantees and stand-by letters of credit outstanding as of June 29, 2012:

The Company generally indemnifies licensees of its proprietary software products against claims brought by third parties alleging infringement of their intellectual property rights (including rights in patents (with or without geographic limitations), copyright, trademarks and trade secrets). CSC’s indemnification of its licensees relates to costs arising from court awards, negotiated settlements and the related legal and internal costs of those licensees. The Company maintains the right, at its own costs, to modify or replace software in order to eliminate any infringement. Historically, CSC has not incurred any significant costs related to licensee software indemnification.
Contingencies
The Company has a contract with the U.K.'s National Health Service (NHS) to develop and deploy an integrated patient records system as a part of the U.K. Government's NHS IT program. The Company is currently in discussions with the NHS with respect to a binding interim agreement reflecting principles agreed to by the parties in a letter of intent dated March 2, 2012. See Note 16 for the status of the negotiations and the contingencies associated with the NHS contract.
On May 29, 2009, a class action lawsuit entitled Shirley Morefield vs. Computer Sciences Corporation, et al., Case # A-09-591338-C, was brought in state court in Clark County, Nevada, against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors asserting claims for declarative and injunctive relief related to stock option backdating. The alleged factual basis for the claims is the same as that which was alleged in a prior derivative case, In re CSC Shareholder Derivative Litigation, CV 06-5288, filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, which was dismissed on August 9, 2007, by such court. This dismissal was affirmed on appeal by the Ninth Circuit, which judgment is final. The defendants in the Morefield case deny the allegations in the complaint. On June 30, 2009, the Company removed the case to the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, Case No. 2:09-cv-1176-KJD-GWF. On motion made by the plaintiffs, the District Court remanded the case to state court on February 18, 2010. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on April 30, 2010, and plaintiffs filed their opposition on June 14, 2010. On July 16, 2012, the court dismissed the plaintiff's case with prejudice.
As previously disclosed in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, the Company initiated an investigation into out of period

adjustments resulting from certain accounting errors in our MSS segment, primarily involving accounting irregularities in the Nordic region. Initially, the investigation was conducted by Company personnel, but outside Company counsel and forensic accountants retained by such counsel later assisted in the Company's investigation. On January 28, 2011, the Company was notified by the SEC's Division of Enforcement that it had commenced a formal civil investigation relating to these matters, which investigation has subsequently been expanded to other matters subsequently identified by the SEC, including matters specified in subpoenas issued to the Company from time to time by the SEC's Division of Enforcement as well as matters under investigation by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, as further described below. The Company is cooperating in the SEC's investigation.
On May 2, 2011, the Audit Committee commenced an independent investigation into the matters relating to the MSS segment and the Nordic region, matters identified by subpoenas issued by the SEC's Division of Enforcement, and certain other accounting matters identified by the Audit Committee and retained independent counsel to represent CSC on behalf of, and under the exclusive direction of, the Audit Committee in connection with such independent investigation. Independent counsel retained forensic accountants to assist their work. Independent counsel also represents CSC on behalf of, and under the exclusive direction of, the Audit Committee in connection with the investigation by the SEC's Division of Enforcement.
The Audit Committee’s investigation was expanded to encompass (i) the Company’s operations in Australia, (ii) certain aspects of the Company’s accounting practices within its Americas Outsourcing operation, and (iii) certain of the Company’s accounting practices that involve the percentage of completion accounting method, including the Company’s contract with NHS. In the course of the Audit Committee's expanded investigation, accounting errors and irregularities were identified. As a result, certain personnel have been reprimanded, suspended, terminated and/or resigned. The Audit Committee determined in August 2012 that its independent investigation is complete and the Committee has instructed its independent counsel to cooperate with the SEC Division of Enforcement by completing production of documents and providing any further information requested by the SEC Division of Enforcement.
The Company believes the SEC also has expanded its investigation into the foregoing areas as well as into certain related disclosure matters. The SEC's investigative activities are ongoing. In addition, the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance has issued comment letters to the Company requesting, among other things, additional information regarding its previously disclosed adjustments in connection with the above-referenced accounting errors, the Company's conclusions relating to materiality of such adjustments, and the Company's analysis of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting. The Division of Corporation Finance's comment letter process is ongoing, and the Company is continuing to cooperate with that process.
The investigation being conducted by the SEC's Division of Enforcement and the review of our financial disclosures by the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance are continuing and could identify other accounting errors, irregularities or other areas of review. As a result, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant legal and accounting expenditures, and a significant amount of time of our senior management has been focused on these matters that otherwise would have been focused on the growth of the Company. We are unable to predict how long the Division of Enforcement's investigation will continue or whether, at the conclusion of its investigation, the SEC will seek to impose fines or take other actions against us. In addition, we are unable to predict the timing of the completion of the Division of Corporation Finance's review of our financial disclosures or the outcome of such review. Publicity surrounding the foregoing or any enforcement action as a result of the SEC's investigation, even if ultimately resolved favorably for us, could have an adverse impact on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Between June 3, 2011, and July 21, 2011, four putative class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, entitled City of Roseville Employee's Retirement System v. Computer Sciences Corporation, et al. (No. 1:11-cv-00610-TSE-IDD), Murphy v. Computer Sciences Corporation, et al. (No. 1:11-cv-00636-TSE-IDD), Kramer v. Computer Sciences Corporation, et al. (No. 1:11-cv-00751-TSE-IDD) and Goldman v. Computer Sciences Corporation, et al. (No. 1:11-cv-777-TSE-IDD). On August 29, 2011, the four actions were consolidated as In re Computer Sciences Corporation Securities Litigation (No. 1:11-cv-610-TSE-IDD) and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board was appointed lead plaintiff. A consolidated class action complaint was filed by plaintiff on September 26, 2011, and names as defendants CSC, Michael W. Laphen, Michael J. Mancuso and Donald G. DeBuck. A corrected complaint was filed on October 19, 2011. The complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged misrepresentations and omissions regarding the business and operations of the Company. Specifically, the allegations arise from the Company's disclosure of the Company's investigation into certain accounting irregularities in the Nordic

region and its disclosure regarding the status of the Company's agreement with NHS. Among other things, the plaintiff seeks unspecified monetary damages. The plaintiff filed a motion for class certification with the court on September 22, 2011, and the defendants filed a motion to dismiss on October 18, 2011. Both motions are fully briefed, a hearing was held on November 4, 2011, and the motions are now pending before the court. The defendants deny the allegations and intend to defend their position vigorously. It is not possible to make reasonable estimates of the amounts or range of losses that could result from this matter at this time.
On September 13, 2011, a shareholder derivative action entitled Che Wu Hung v. Michael W. Laphen, et al. (CL 2011 13376) was filed in Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia, against Michael W. Laphen, Michael J. Mancuso, the members of the Audit Committee and the Company as a nominal defendant asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty and contribution and indemnification relating to alleged failure by the defendants to disclose accounting and financial irregularities in the MSS segment, primarily in the Nordic region, and the Company's performance under the NHS agreement and alleged failure to maintain effective internal controls. The plaintiff seeks damages, injunctive relief and attorneys fees and costs. On October 24, 2011, the defendants removed the action to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. On November 23, 2011, the plaintiff filed a motion to remand the case to state court. Argument was held on December 15, 2011. During argument the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed his complaint without prejudice to refiling the action in state court. The Court granted the plaintiff's request, dismissed the complaint without prejudice and denied the motion to remand as moot. On December 22, 2011, the plaintiff refiled his complaint in Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia in a shareholder derivative action entitled Che Wu Hung v. Michael W. Laphen, et al. (CL 2011 18046). Named as defendants are Michael W. Laphen, Michael J. Mancuso, the members of the Audit Committee and the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint asserts claims for (i) breach of fiduciary duty relating to alleged failure by the defendants to disclose accounting and financial irregularities in the MSS segment, primarily in the Nordic region, and the Company's performance under the NHS agreement and alleged failure to maintain effective internal controls and (ii) corporate waste. The plaintiff seeks damages, injunctive relief and attorneys fees and costs. On April 6, 2012, the state court stayed the action until the earlier of (i) entry of an order on the pending motion to dismiss In re Computer Sciences Corporation Securities Litigation (No. 1:11-cv-610-TSE-IDD) or (ii) July 5, 2012. On July 20, 2012, the state court renewed the stay until the earlier of (i) entry of an order on the pending motion to dismiss In re Computer Sciences Corporation Securities Litigation or (ii) October 18, 2012.
On May 11, 2012, a separate shareholder derivative action entitled Judy Bainto v. Michael W. Laphen et al. (No. A-12-661695-C), was filed in District Court, Clark County, Nevada, against Messrs. Laphen and Mancuso, members of the Board of Directors and the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint is substantively similar to the second Hung complaint. On or about August 1, 2012, the court granted the parties' joint motion to extend the time for defendants to respond to the complaint to sixty days after the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia's entry of an order on the pending motion to dismiss the complaint in In re Computer Sciences Corporation Securities Litigation. A status check is scheduled for September 18, 2012.
In addition to the matters noted above, the Company is currently party to a number of disputes which involve or may involve litigation. The Company consults with legal counsel on those issues related to litigation and seeks input from other experts and advisors with respect to such matters in the ordinary course of business. Whether any losses, damages or remedies ultimately resulting from such matters could reasonably have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operation, or cash flows will depend on a number of variables, including, for example, the timing and amount of such losses or damages (if any) and the structure and type of any such remedies. For these reasons, it is not possible to make reasonable estimates of the amount or range of loss that could result from these other matters at this time. Company management does not, however, presently expect any of such other matters to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

General
The following discussion and analysis provides information management believes relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC or the Company). The discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and notes thereto and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2012. The following discusses the Company's results of operations and financial condition as of and for the first quarter ended June 29, 2012, and the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.
First Quarter Overview
The key operating results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 include:
| |
• | Revenues decreased $76 million or 1.9%, and increased 0.7% on a constant currency basis(1). The revenue decrease includes an increase in revenue of 2.3% from the fiscal 2012 acquisitions. |
| |
• | Income from continuing operations before taxes was $74 million, compared to $101 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, a decrease of $27 million, or 26.7%. |
| |
• | Operating income(2) increased 1.7% to $183 million as compared to $180 million for the same period of fiscal 2012, and operating income margin increased to 4.62% from last year's first quarter margin of 4.46%. |
| |
• | Earnings before interest and taxes(3) (EBIT) of $114 million decreased by $17 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2012. EBIT margin declined to 2.9% from last year's first quarter margin of 3.2%. |
| |
• | Net income attributable to CSC common shareholders was $40 million, a decrease of $143 million, or 78.1%, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by a first quarter fiscal 2012 discrete tax benefit of $121 million, which did not recur in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. |
| |
• | Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.26 for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, a decrease of $0.91 as compared to the same period in the prior year. |
| |
• | The Company announced contract awards of $4.0 billion, including new NPS segment awards of $0.9 billion, MSS segment awards of $2.2 billion, and BSS segment awards of $0.9 billion. Total backlog(4) at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $36.1 billion, an increase of $0.6 billion as compared to the backlog at the end of fiscal 2012 of $35.5 billion. Of the total $36.1 billion backlog, $8.4 billion is expected to be realized as revenue in the remainder of fiscal 2013. Of the total $36.1 billion, $12 million is not yet funded. |
| |
• | Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)(5) was 72 days at June 29, 2012, an improvement from 87 days at the end of the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. A contract settlement with the U.S. Government as well as operational improvements contributed to the DSO improvement. |
| |
• | Debt-to-total capitalization ratio(6) was 49.9% at June 29, 2012, an increase of 0.7 percentage points from 49.2% at March 30, 2012, primarily due to a reduction in equity from foreign currency translation adjustments. |
| |
• | Cash provided by operating activities was $221 million, as compared to cash used of $46 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. |
| |
• | Cash used in investing activities was $179 million, as compared to $334 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. |
| |
• | Cash used in financing activities was $97 million, as compared to cash provided of $194 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. |
| |
• | Free cash flow(7) of $(25) million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was favorable to the $(403) million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, driven primarily by reduced payments for purchases for property and equipment and software, and improved operating cash flow primarily due to higher collections of accounts receivable. |
| |
(1) | Selected references are made on a “constant currency basis” so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period. Financial results on a “constant currency basis” are calculated by translating current period activity into U.S. dollars using the comparable prior period’s currency conversion rates. This approach is used for all results where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. |
| |
(2) | Operating income is a non-U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) measure used by management to assess performance at the segments and on a consolidated basis. The Company’s definition of such measure may differ from other companies. We define operating income as revenue less costs of services, depreciation and amortization expense, restructuring costs and segment general and administrative (G&A) expense, excluding corporate G&A. Operating margin is defined as operating income as a percentage of revenue. Management compensates for the limitations of this non-GAAP measure by also reviewing income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes, which includes costs excluded from the operating income definition such as goodwill impairment, corporate G&A, interest and other income (expense). A reconciliation of consolidated operating (loss) income to (loss) income from continuing operations before taxes is as follows: |
|

Income from continuing operations before taxes | | $ | 74 |

|
| |
(3) | Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) is a non-U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) measure that provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's results of operations as it provides another measure of the Company's profitability, and is considered an important measure by financial analysts covering CSC and its peers. The Company’s definition of such measure may differ from other companies. We define EBIT as revenue less costs of services, selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, goodwill impairment, restructuring costs, and other income (expense). EBIT margin is defined as EBIT as a percentage of revenue. A reconciliation of EBIT to net income from continuing operations is as follows: |
|

| | $ | 186 |
|
| |
(4) | Backlog represents total estimated contract value of predominantly long-term contracts, based on customer commitments that the Company believes to be firm. Backlog value is based on contract commitments, management’s judgment and assumptions about volume of services, availability of customer funding and other factors. Backlog estimates for government contracts include both the funded and unfunded portions and all of the option periods. Backlog estimates are subject to change and may be affected by factors including modifications of contracts and foreign currency movements. |
For NPS, announced award values for competitive indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity (IDIQ) awards represent the expected contract value at the time a task order is awarded under the contract. Announced values for non-competitive IDIQ awards represent management’s estimate at the award date. Business awards for MSS are estimated at the time of contract signing based on then existing projections of service volumes and currency exchange rates, and include option years. BSS award values are based on firm commitments.
| |
(5) | DSO is calculated as total receivables at the fiscal period end divided by revenue-per-day. Revenue-per-day equals total revenues divided by the number of days in the fiscal period. Total receivables includes unbilled receivables but excludes income tax receivables and long-term receivables. |
| |
(6) | Debt-to-total capitalization ratio is defined as total current and long-term debt divided by total debt and equity, including noncontrolling interest. |
| |
(7) | Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and the Company's definition of such measure may differ from that of other companies. We define free cash flow as equal to the sum of (1) operating cash flows, (2) investing cash flows, excluding business acquisitions, dispositions and investments (including short-term investments and purchase or sale of available for sale securities) and (3) payments on capital leases and other long-term asset financings. |
CSC’s free cash flow measure does not distinguish operating cash flows from investing cash flows as they are required to be presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered a substitute for operating and investing cash flows as determined in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow is one of the factors CSC management uses in reviewing the overall performance of the business. Management compensates for the limitations of this non-GAAP measure by also reviewing the GAAP measures of operating, investing and financing cash flows as well as debt levels measured by the debt-to-total capitalization ratio.
A reconciliation of free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is presented below:

(1) | Certain fiscal 2012 amounts were reclassified from Department of Defense to Civil Agencies to conform to the current year presentation. |
| |
(2) | Other revenues consist of foreign, state and local government work as well as commercial contracts performed by the NPS segment. |
NPS first quarter revenue decreased $116 million, or 7.8%, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012. This decrease was due to revenue decreases in the Department of Defense group (DOD) contracts, which decreased $95 million, or 9.4%, revenue decreases from contracts with Civil Agencies, which decreased $16 million, or 4.0%, and revenue decreases from Other contracts, which decreased $5 million, or 7.8%.
The decrease in revenue on DOD contracts was due to a combination of completion of task orders on Iraq and Afghanistan related contracts and a contract termination, partially offset by net increases in scope and tasking on existing contracts. The decrease in revenue from Civil Agencies was primarily due to reduced scope on existing contracts, timing of certain contractual milestones, and contract termination, partially offset by increased revenue on new fiscal 2012 contracts.
NPS' first quarter revenue decrease continues to reflect the ongoing uncertainty in government budgets and the difficulties customers are facing in awarding new initiatives. Delays in award decisions continue to be the most significant issue in the industry, with delays ranging from six to eighteen months on submitted proposals.
In August 2011, President Obama signed into law the Budget Control Act of 2011, which increased the U.S. Government's debt ceiling and enacted 10-year discretionary spending caps expected to generate over $1 trillion in savings for the U.S. Government. According to the Office of Management and Budget, these savings include $487 billion in DOD baseline spending reductions over the next 10 years, starting in 2013. In addition, barring Congressional action, further budget cuts (or sequestration) as outlined in the Budget Control Act of 2011 will be implemented starting in January 2013. Sequestration would lead to additional reductions of approximately $500 billion from the Pentagon's top line budget over the next decade, resulting in aggregate reductions of about $1 trillion over 10 years. In June 2012, the Office of Management and Budget announced that the budget for Overseas Contingency Operations and any unobligated balances in prior year funds will also be included in aggregate reductions. The DOD has taken the position that such reductions would generate significant operational risks and may require the termination of certain, as yet undetermined, procurement programs. Any reduction in levels of DOD spending, cancellations or delays impacting existing contracts or programs, including through sequestration, could have a material impact on the operating results of the NPS business. While DOD would sustain the bulk of sequestration cuts affecting the Company, Civil Agencies may be significantly impacted as well.
During the first quarters of both fiscal 2013 and 2012, NPS won new contracts of $0.9 billion.
Managed Services Sector
MSS segment revenue increased $16 million, or 1.0%, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012. In constant currency, revenue increased $78 million, or 4.8%. The adverse foreign currency impact was primarily due to the movement in the U.S. dollar against the Euro, the Danish Kroner and the British Pound. MSS' fiscal 2012 acquisition of AppLabs provided revenue of $28 million, or 1.7% of the revenue growth. Excluding the impact of foreign currency effects and the acquisition, net internal revenue for the first quarter increased $50 million, or 3.1% as compared to the same period in the prior year.
The increase in MSS' net internal revenue was primarily due to revenue from new client engagements acquired in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013 of $79 million, partially offset by revenue declining due to contract terminations, conclusions and
modifications of existing contracts of $43 million. MSS revenue comparisons were also favorably impacted by one time adverse revenue adjustments in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 which did not recur in fiscal 2013.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company announced contract awards with a total value of $2.2 billion compared to $0.5 billion during the same period in fiscal 2012.
Business Solutions & Services
BSS segment revenue increased $24 million, or 2.5%, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012. In constant currency, revenue increased $67 million, or 7.0%. The adverse foreign currency impact was due to the movement in the U.S. dollar primarily against the Euro, the Australian Dollar and the British Pound. The acquisition of iSOFT provided $54 million, or 5.6% of revenue increase. Excluding the impact of foreign currency and the iSOFT acquisition, revenue for the first quarter increased $13 million, or 1.4%, over the same period in the prior year.
The increase in BSS net internal revenue was primarily from a contract with the U.K.'s National Health Service (NHS) , mostly offset by a revenue decrease in a BSS value-added reseller business in Asia. Revenue on the NHS contract was higher by approximately $40 million primarily due to recording revenue from achieving a key milestone associated with the Lorenzo Care Management software. The milestone was related to delivering the patient administration software functionality to the NHS. Revenue was also favorably impacted by deployment of Lorenzo Care Management software at three NHS trust sites. The revenue from BSS' reseller business in Asia decreased due to conclusion of certain key contracts in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and as a result revenue from these contracts did not recur.
BSS year-over-year revenue trend was also adversely impacted by out of period adjustments. Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was adversely impacted by $7 million of out of period adjustments, whereas revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was favorably impacted by $7 million, resulting in a year-over-year adverse impact of $14 million (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).
During the first quarters of both fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, BSS had contract awards of $0.9 billion.

Investigations and Out of Period Adjustments
Summary of Audit Committee and SEC Investigations Related to the Out of Period Adjustments
Background
As previously disclosed in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012, the Company initiated an investigation into out of period adjustments resulting from certain accounting errors in our MSS segment, primarily involving accounting irregularities in the Nordic region. Initially, the investigation was conducted by Company personnel, but outside Company counsel and forensic accountants retained by such counsel later assisted in the Company’s investigation. On January 28, 2011, the Company was notified by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement that it had commenced a formal civil investigation relating to these matters, which investigation has subsequently been expanded to other matters subsequently identified by the SEC, including matters specified in subpoenas issued to the Company from time to time by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement as well as matters under investigation by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, as further described below. The Company is cooperating in the SEC’s investigation.
On May 2, 2011, the Audit Committee commenced an independent investigation into the matters relating to the MSS segment and the Nordic region, matters identified by subpoenas issued by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, and certain other accounting matters identified by the Audit Committee and retained independent counsel to represent CSC on behalf of, and under the exclusive direction of, the Audit Committee in connection with such independent investigation. Independent counsel retained forensic accountants to assist their work. Independent counsel also represents CSC on behalf of, and under the exclusive direction of, the Audit Committee in connection with the investigation by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement.
The Audit Committee’s investigation was expanded to encompass (i) the Company’s operations in Australia, (ii) certain aspects of the Company’s accounting practices within its Americas Outsourcing operation, and (iii) certain of the Company’s accounting practices that involve the percentage of completion accounting method, including the Company’s contract with the U.K. National Health Service (NHS). In the course of the Audit Committee's expanded investigation, accounting errors and irregularities were identified. As a result, certain personnel have been reprimanded, suspended, terminated and/or resigned. The Audit Committee determined in August 2012 that its independent investigation is complete and the Committee has instructed its independent counsel to cooperate with the SEC Division of Enforcement by completing production of documents and providing any further information requested by the SEC Division of Enforcement.
In fiscal 2012 and subsequently during fiscal 2013, certain additional items have been identified but not yet recorded related to the NHS contract that could have an effect on the amount and the allocation of the out of period adjustments for fiscal 2013 and prior fiscal years. At this time, management does not believe that the effect of these additional items will be material to the Company's financial statements. However, the Company's investigation into these additional items is ongoing, and the amount could change and the allocation across years is likely to change.
Any out of period adjustments identified, including items that self corrected within a fiscal year, by the Company to date are identified in Note 4 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
The Company believes the SEC also has expanded its investigation into the foregoing areas as well as into certain related disclosure matters. The SEC's investigative activities are ongoing. In addition, the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance has issued comment letters to the Company requesting, among other things, additional information regarding its previously disclosed adjustments in connection with the above-referenced accounting errors, the Company's conclusions relating to materiality of such adjustments, and the Company's analysis of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting. The Division of Corporation Finance's comment letter process is ongoing, and the Company is continuing to cooperate with that process.
The investigation being conducted by the SEC's Division of Enforcement and the review of our financial disclosures by the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance are continuing and could identify other accounting errors, irregularities or other areas of review. As a result, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant legal and accounting expenditures, and a significant amount of time of our senior management has been focused on these matters that otherwise would have been focused on the growth of the Company. We are unable to predict how long the Division of Enforcement's investigation will continue or whether, at the conclusion of its investigation, the SEC will seek to impose fines or take other actions against us. In addition, we are unable to predict the timing of the completion of the Division of
Corporation Finance's review of our financial disclosures or the outcome of such review. Publicity surrounding the foregoing or any enforcement action as a result of the SEC's investigation, even if ultimately resolved favorably for us, could have an adverse impact on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Fiscal 2013 Financial Impact Summary
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded various adjustments primarily in its NPS and BSS segments reducing income from continuing operations before taxes by $1 million and increasing net income by $5 million that should have been recorded in prior fiscal years. The out of period adjustments recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 were comprised of $17 million of charges reducing income from continuing operations before taxes and $16 million of adjustments increasing income from continuing operations before taxes. The $17 million of pre-tax charges and $16 million of offsetting pre-tax credits included $10 million and $4 million, respectively of adjustments identified by the Company late in the fiscal 2012 closing process, and due to the immaterial amounts involved, were not included in the Company's consolidated fiscal 2012 financial statements. The $17 million of pre-tax charges also included $7 million of adjustments identified and recorded by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily related to a $2 million software revenue recognition correction and a $2 million adjustment to prepaid expenses. Included in the $16 million of offsetting pre-tax credits were $12 million of adjustments identified and recorded by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 consisting of $10 million of reductions to accrued expenses related to the restructuring costs recorded by the Company in fiscal 2012 and a $2 million correction of incentive compensation costs recorded in fiscal 2012. As noted above, the NPS and BSS segments were primarily impacted by the net out of period adjustments recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 with income from continuing operations before taxes for NPS and BSS reduced by $6 million and increased by $4 million, respectively. The Company also recorded a $2 million tax benefit in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 related to prior periods. The $2 million tax benefit was attributable to the adjustment of the deferred tax liability related to intellectual property assets.
In fiscal 2012 and subsequently during fiscal 2013 certain additional items have been identified but not yet recorded related to the NHS contract that could have an effect on the amount and the allocation of the out of period adjustments for fiscal 2013 and prior fiscal years. At this time, management does not believe that the effect of these additional items will be material to the Company's financial statements. However, the Company's investigation into these additional items is ongoing, and the amount could change and the allocation across years is likely to change.
The select line items of the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended June 29, 2012, impacted by the consolidated out of period adjustments under the rollover method are shown below.

The out of period adjustments impacting income from continuing operations before taxes recorded by the Company in the three months ended June 29, 2012 are related to the following consolidated balance sheet line items:
| |
• | Prepaid expenses ($2 million decrease) |
| |
• | Property and equipment ($1 million decrease) |
| |
• | Deferred revenue ($8 million increase) |
| |
• | Accrued expenses and other current liabilities ($10 million decrease) |
The Company has determined that the impact of the consolidated out of period adjustments recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 is immaterial to the consolidated results, financial position and cash flows for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and prior years. Consequently, the cumulative effect of these adjustments was recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
Effect of Adjustments on Prior Year Financial Statements
As previously disclosed, during fiscal 2012, the Company recorded various pre-tax adjustments that should have been recorded in prior fiscal years. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, based on information then known by the Company, the Company identified and recorded out of period adjustments primarily to cost of services reducing income from continuing operations before taxes by $5 million within its MSS segment. The $5 million in pre-tax adjustments were comprised of $4 million of charges in MSS' Nordic operations and $1 million related to other MSS operations attributable to an understatement of accrued expenses in fiscal 2011 due to errors in the calculation of management incentive compensation. As a result of the ongoing investigation, the $1 million error was subsequently determined by the Company to be a $3 million out of period adjustment. This item included multiple components, a portion of which the Company previously considered not to be related to out of period errors. Based on the results of the independent investigation, the Company now attributes the $3 million adjustment to Other Errors, which include both unintentional errors and errors for which the categorization is unclear.
Further out of period adjustments were identified in subsequent quarters of fiscal 2012. The aggregate fiscal 2012 adjustments, including those noted above with respect to the first quarter of fiscal 2012, reduced income from continuing operations before taxes by $79 million ($63 million net of tax) and were comprised of $13 million of charges in the Nordic region, $23 million of charges in the Company's operations in Australia, and $25 million of charges originating from the NHS contract in the Company's BSS segment. Additionally, $16 million and $2 million of charges were recorded in the NPS segment and other operations of the Company, respectively. The fiscal 2012 out of period adjustments primarily related to the Company’s MSS and BSS segments, with $37 million and $26 million within MSS and BSS, respectively.
The select line items of the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended July 1, 2011 impacted by the out of period adjustments, including those recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, under the rollover method are shown below.

The out of period adjustments impacting income from continuing operations before taxes recorded by the Company for the three months ended July 1, 2011 are related to the following consolidated balance sheet line items:
| |
• | Accounts receivable ($6 million increase) |
| |
• | Prepaid expenses ($1 million decrease) |
| |
• | Deferred revenue ($2 million decrease) |
| |
• | Accrued expenses ($16 million increase) |
The Company determined that the impact of the consolidated out of period adjustments recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was immaterial to the consolidated results, financial position and cash flows for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and prior years. Consequently, the cumulative effect of these adjustments was recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Costs of Services
Costs of services (COS), excluding the restructuring charges, as a percentage of revenue decreased to 82.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 from 83.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease was primarily driven by a lower MSS ratio, partially offset by a higher BSS ratio. The NPS ratio remained flat. Out of period adjustments impacted COS for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 favorably by $3 million and the first quarter of fiscal 2012 adversely by $15 million, resulting in a year-over-year favorable impact of $18 million (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).
The MSS COS ratio was favorably impacted primarily by operational improvements on contracts which experienced adverse performance-based adjustments in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, including service-level penalties and adjustments on contracts accounted for under percentage of completion, which did not repeat in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Improvements in the COS ratio were partially offset by start-up issues on certain new contracts.
BSS' COS ratio was adversely impacted primarily by the core NHS contract. While revenues were slightly higher on the NHS contract in the first quarter versus the prior year, the Company recorded no margin on this revenue under the percentage of completion accounting method, as it is unable to estimate the final outcome of the contract other than to conclude that a further loss is not considered evident. See further discussion in Note 16 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. In addition, the recent acquisition of iSOFT, which had a relatively higher COS ratio than other BSS businesses, adversely impacted BSS' COS ratio.
The NPS COS ratio was flat. The impact of net adverse adjustments on certain contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion method of $23 million was offset by the higher profit margins on other fixed price contracts. The fiscal 2013 net adjustments included $28 million of adverse adjustments, primarily relating to a U.S. Department of Labor contract and $5 million of favorable adjustments.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 7.4% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 from 6.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The increase was primarily driven by increases in the BSS and MSS ratios. The NPS ratio remained flat.
The BSS ratio increased primarily due to iSOFT and the BSS financial services business, partially offset by a reduced ratio associated with a NHS contract. iSOFT's SG&A ratio was adversely impacted primarily by continuing transition costs. The financial services business had higher marketing and selling expenses and the NHS ratio was favorable due to higher fiscal 2013 revenues while the costs remained flat. The MSS ratio increased due to higher marketing and selling costs and higher costs associated with a U.K. sales center established late in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The SG&A ratio was also impacted by higher Corporate G&A mainly due to higher professional fees and sales and marketing costs.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization (D&A) as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 from 6.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease was due to a decrease in the MSS ratio, partially offset by increases in the NPS and BSS ratios.
The decreased MSS ratio was due to reduced depreciation and amortization expense as a result of significant impairment of fixed and intangible assets recorded in fiscal 2012 and reduced amortization on certain contracts due to contract conclusions, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization on assets acquired from Applabs. The BSS ratio was higher primarily due to the acquisition of iSOFT, primarily offset by reduced depreciation on the NHS contract due to certain assets reaching the end of their useful lives. The NPS ratio increased due to higher capital expenditures on certain Civil contracts.
Restructuring Costs
In March 2012, the Company initiated a series of restructuring actions primarily to address excess capacity issues across Europe and to align its workforce with current business needs. In addition to reducing headcount, these actions contemplate increased use of lower cost off-shore resources and optimal utilization of facilities, which includes vacating and consolidating office space. Actions under these plans commenced in March 2012 and are expected to be carried out through fiscal 2013.
Restructuring costs recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 of $27 million included $5 million of pension benefit augmentations that are due to certain employees in accordance with legal or contractual obligations, and which will be paid out over several years as part of normal pension distributions, and was net of $7 million of reversal of accrual based on revised estimated headcount. Of the total $27 million, $13 million relates to MSS and $14 million to BSS.
Excluding the pension liability, the restructuring liability as of June 29, 2012, was $104 million of which $100 million is expected to be paid in fiscal 2013 and $4 million thereafter.
Interest Expense and Interest Income
Interest expense of $45 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 increased $3 million when compared to the same period in fiscal 2012 due to higher interest on capital leases and interest on borrowings by iSOFT, which was acquired at the end of the second quarter.
Interest income of $5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased $7 million when compared to the same period in fiscal 2012 due to reduced cash balances outside the U.S.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
Other (income) expense, was a net expense of $9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to a net income of $5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The increase in net expense of $14 million was primarily due to the impact of movement in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company's foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and related hedges.
Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate (ETR) was 43.2% and (84.2)% for the first quarters ended June 29, 2012 and July 1, 2011, respectively. The primary driver of the ETR in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was a net increase in valuation allowances in non-US jurisdictions and the global mix of income. The primary driver of the ETR in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was an election made by the Company to change the tax status of one of its foreign subsidiaries. This change in tax status resulted in a deemed liquidation for U.S. tax purposes and triggered various deductions which resulted in an income tax benefit of approximately $121 million and reduced the ETR by 119.8%.
There were no material changes to uncertain tax positions in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal year-end 2012.
The Finance Act 2012 ("the Act") was signed into law in India on May 28th, 2012. The Act provides for the taxation of indirect foreign investment in India, including on a retroactive basis. The Act overrides the recent Vodafone ruling by the Supreme Court of India which held that the Indian Tax Authorities cannot assess capital gains taxes on the sale of shares of non-Indian companies that indirectly own shares in an Indian company. The retroactive nature of these changes in law has been strongly criticized. The Act has been challenged in the Indian courts. However, there is no assurance that such a challenge will be successful.
CSC has engaged in the purchase of shares of foreign companies that indirectly own shares of an Indian company and internal reorganizations. The Indian tax authorities may seek to apply the provisions of the Act to these prior transactions and seek to tax CSC directly or as a withholding agent or representative assessee of the sellers involved in prior acquisitions. The Company believes that the Act does not apply to these prior acquisitions and that is has strong defenses against any claims that might be raised by the Indian tax authorities.
Earnings Per Share and Share Base
Earnings per share (EPS), on a diluted basis, for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $0.26 and decreased $0.91 from the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in EPS was the result of a decrease in income before taxes of $27 million and increase in tax expense of $117 million. The increase in the tax expense was primarily due to recognition of valuation allowances associated with certain non-U.S. CSC subsidiaries, change in global mix of income before taxes and non-recurrence of discrete tax benefits that were recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

| | $ | 1,666 |
|
For the first quarter of fiscal 2013, net cash from operating activities of $221 million increased $267 million as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The increase is primarily due to higher collections of accounts receivable across all segments of $350 million, partially offset by higher payroll payments of $75 million, primarily due to annual salary increases and acquisitions that occurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.
Net cash used in investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $179 million, a decrease of $155 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease is primarily due to lower expenditures on software of $65 million, lower purchases of property and equipment of $39 million, and lower expenditures on outsourcing contract costs of $19 million.
Net cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $97 million, a decrease of $291 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012. This decrease is primarily due to $200 million in net borrowings of commercial paper in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 that did not recur in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
Contractual Obligations
The Company has contractual obligations for long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, minimum purchase obligations, bank debt, unrecognized tax positions, and other obligations as summarized in the Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations section of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 30, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $1 billion at June 29, 2012 and $1.1 billion at March 30, 2012. At June 29, 2012, the Company had approximately $684 million of cash and cash equivalents held outside of the U.S. A substantial amount of cash held outside of the U.S. can be made available through the settlement of intercompany loans in a tax efficient manner to fund U.S. obligations. However, should the Company determine to repatriate cash held by the Company outside the U.S. as dividends, it could be required to pay additional taxes. It is generally management's intent to permanently reinvest the earnings of its foreign operations. The fiscal 2012 acquisitions of iSOFT and AppLabs were made with the use of non-U.S. cash.
At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013, CSC’s ratio of debt to total capitalization was 49.9%, an increase from 49.2% at the end of fiscal 2012. The increase in the debt ratio was primarily the result of a decrease in total equity, which was driven by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) of $114 million and dividend declared of $31 million, partially offset by an increase in net income of $40 million. The increase in AOCL was primarily due to adverse foreign currency translation adjustments. The following table summarizes the Company’s debt to total capitalization ratios as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and as of fiscal year end 2012:
|
| | | | | | | | |
| | As of |
(Amounts in millions) | | June 29, 2012 | | March 30, 2012 |
Debt | | $ | 2,718 |

|
Total capitalization | | $ | 5,446 |
| | $ | 5,574 |
|
Debt to total capitalization | | 49.9 | % | | 49.2 | % |
At June 29, 2012, the Company had $46 million of short-term borrowings under uncommitted lines of credit with foreign banks, $1,211 million of current maturities of long-term debt, $1,461 million of long-term debt, and no borrowings outstanding against the Company's commercial paper program.
The Company has a committed line of credit of $1.5 billion, which serves as collateral to the Company's commercial paper program. This facility, which expires on March 18, 2015, requires the Company to: (1) maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization adjusted for other non-cash charges as defined by the credit agreement (EBITDA), to consolidated interest expense for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or immediately prior to such period not to be less than 3.00 to 1.00; and (2) not permit at the end of any quarterly financial reporting period the ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or immediately prior to such date, to exceed 3.00 to 1.00. The Company is in compliance with these requirements.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company paid quarterly cash dividends to its common stockholders of $0.20 per share or approximately $31 million. The Company has sufficient liquidity and expects to continue paying quarterly cash dividends although such payments are subject to continued approval by the Board of Directors.
The Company’s total liquidity is comprised of cash and cash equivalents plus any borrowing available under its credit facility. As of June 29, 2012, the Company’s total liquidity was approximately $2.5 billion, consisting of $1.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents and the full $1.5 billion available under the 2015 credit facility. In the opinion of management, CSC will be able to meet its liquidity and cash needs for the foreseeable future, including repayment of $1 billion of its long-term debt which is due in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and the fiscal 2013 pension and other post employment benefits funding obligations, through the combination of cash flows from operating activities and current cash balances. If these resources need to be augmented, additional cash requirements would likely be financed by the issuance of debt and/or equity securities and/or the exercise of the put option with Equifax. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to issue debt with acceptable terms in the future.
The Company’s exposure to operational liquidity risk is primarily from long-term contracts which require significant investment of cash during the initial phases of the contracts. The recovery of these investments is over the life of the contract and is dependent upon the Company’s performance as well as customer acceptance. Continued uncertainty in the global economic conditions may also affect the Company’s business as customers and suppliers may decide to downsize, defer or cancel contracts which could negatively affect operating cash flow.
The three major rating agencies that rate the Company's debt have taken ratings actions during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. On May 17, 2012, Moody's lowered the Company's long term credit rating from Baa1 with a negative watch to Baa2 with a stable outlook. Moody's confirmed its short term rating at P-2. In December 2011, S&P lowered the Company's rating from A- to BBB+ with a negative credit watch. On May 22, 2012, S&P and Fitch lowered the credit rating to BBB with a negative outlook and a short term rating of A-2 and F-3 respectively. These changes in our credit ratings had no material impact on our current borrowing costs, and we believe they will not have a material impact on our ability to raise further debt financing in the future although the costs of such borrowing would increase. The ratings and outlooks issued by Moody's, S&P and Fitch are described in the table below:
|
| | | |
Rating Agency | Rating | Outlook | Short Term Ratings |
Fitch | BBB | Negative | F-3 |
Moody's | Baa2 | Stable | P-2 |
S&P | BBB | Negative | A-2 |
Credit rating agencies review their ratings periodically and, therefore, the credit rating assigned to us by each agency may be subject to revision at any time. Accordingly, we are not able to predict whether our current credit ratings will remain as disclosed above. Factors that can affect our credit ratings include changes in our operating performance, our financial position, resolution of the issues relating to the NHS contract and changes in our business strategy. If further changes in our credit ratings were to occur, they could impact, among other things, our future borrowing costs and access to capital markets.
On December 13, 2010, CSC’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing up to $1.0 billion in share repurchases of the Company’s outstanding common stock (“2011 Repurchase Program”). The timing, volume, and nature of future share repurchases will be at the discretion of management, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. CSC’s Board has not established an end date for the 2011 Repurchase Program. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
Contract with the U.K. National Health Services
As more fully discussed in Note 16 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, CSC and NHS are parties to a £2.9 billion (approximately $5.4 billion at originally announced exchange rates) contract under which the Company is developing and deploying an integrated electronic patient records system. The contract has been accounted for using the percentage of completion method based on management’s best estimates of total contract revenue and costs. As described more fully below, the Company is currently in negotiations with the NHS to agree on a modified contract.
On February 4, 2011, NHS formally notified the Company that it believed the Company’s failure to achieve a key milestone constituted a breach of contract and NHS was considering its position on termination of all or parts of the contract; however, NHS subsequently clarified that its notice was not intended to suggest that termination was the only option which it was considering and, in fact, NHS was considering the full range of options it believed were available to NHS. Notwithstanding this dispute, both NHS and the Company continued discussions leading to agreement on the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the terms of which would ultimately be reflected in a contract amendment. Negotiation of the terms of the MOU were substantially completed in May 2011. Subsequent government reviews of the MOU occurred. In November 2011, the Company, the NHS and Cabinet officials resumed discussions on the MOU and the way forward, which included discussions regarding a proposed contract amendment with different scope modifications and contract value reductions than those contemplated by the MOU. In late December 2011, CSC was informed that neither the MOU nor the contract amendment then under discussion would be approved by the government. Notwithstanding the failure to reach agreement, CSC and the NHS continued discussions in 2012 regarding proposals advanced by both parties reflecting scope modifications and contract value reductions that differed materially from those contemplated by the MOU.
As a result of these discussions, CSC and the NHS entered into a non-binding letter of intent on March 2, 2012.
Under the letter of intent, the NHS and CSC have agreed to a set of high-level principles, which are intended to be reflected in a binding interim agreement to be entered into by the parties. The non-binding letter of intent contemplates that under the interim agreement, NHS will provide a commitment of a certain number of trusts, some to be named in the interim agreement and the remainder within six months, to receive the Lorenzo software product, which has been redefined into deployment units categorized as “base product” and “additional product” for pricing purposes. In addition to the amounts committed by NHS for the base product, additional amounts will be available from centrally available funds for additional products, supplemental trust activity and local configuration. The letter of intent also contemplates that the interim agreement will provide for a structured set of payments following certain product deliveries, as well as additional payments to CSC, which would cover, among other items, various deployments for the named trusts and payments for work already performed. Any payments would be made only if the binding interim agreement is entered into by the parties.
The letter of intent provides that the interim agreement will contain an optional purchase arrangement for those additional trusts (other than the committed named trusts) that choose to take a deployment of Lorenzo. Pricing will be the same as that applicable to the committed named trusts.
The letter of intent provides for an interim Lorenzo-related standstill arrangement and contemplates that a mutual release of all accrued claims with respect to the Lorenzo deployments will be included as part of the interim agreement. The interim agreement, if agreed, will form the basis of an amendment and restatement of the existing NHS contract to be negotiated by the parties. Entry into the interim agreement, and ultimately the amendment, will require U.K. government
approvals. There can be no assurance that such approvals will be obtained.
While the parties intended to conclude a binding interim agreement by June 29, 2012, as previously disclosed, no agreement was reached by this date. On May 31, 2012, the previously disclosed Lorenzo-related standstill agreement was extended to August 31, 2012. Discussions concerning the interim agreement are continuing positively.
There can be no assurance that CSC and NHS will enter into the interim agreement or any amendment to the existing agreement or if the parties do not enter into the interim agreement or an amendment by August 31, 2012 that the Lorenzo-related standstill arrangement will be further extended. Likewise, there can be no assurance that if the interim agreement or any amendment are negotiated and entered into, that such documents as finally negotiated will be on terms favorable to CSC or as provided in the letter of intent.
The contract has been accounted for using the percentage of completion method based on management’s best estimates of total contract revenue and costs. While software development and deployment activities continue in cooperation with the NHS, because of the December 2011 communication rejecting the MOU referred to above, the proposals to significantly reduce the scope and value of the Lorenzo deployments, and the uncertainty over the results of these negotiations, CSC revised its estimate of revenues and costs at completion under the percentage of completion method during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 to include only those revenues reasonably assured of collection. As a result of this change in estimate, the Company recorded a $1,485 million contract charge in fiscal 2012. The Company concluded that an additional forward loss was not evident at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2012, so no further loss was accrued. This conclusion was re-affirmed at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company continues to account for the contract under the percentage of completion method, and will evaluate on a quarterly basis whether or not a forward loss is evident. The Company will also evaluate whether it is appropriate to record contract-related net assets, which should only be recorded if recoverability of the assets is considered probable. Costs will be recorded as incurred and revenue recorded as earned. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, expenses exceeded revenue, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $32 million. Under percentage of completion accounting guidance, the excess costs could be deferred and an asset recorded, if no future loss is expected. However, the Company determined that costs should not be deferred at fiscal 2012 year-end due to uncertainty over whether such an asset could be recorded given the uncertainty surrounding ongoing negotiations.
During the quarter, the Company earned revenues of $88 million and incurred costs of $68 million. The excess revenue was primarily a result of achieving a key milestone associated with the Lorenzo Care Management software on the contract that was agreed to by the NHS, as well as from delivery of the software at three sites. Because of uncertainty over the future profitability of the contract, the Company accrued additional costs of $20 million so as to record no profit for the quarter. The Company has concluded that a further loss is not evident based on the current status of its negotiations with the NHS. The Company's net investment in the contract at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was approximately $97 million, consisting primarily of $144 million of billed and unbilled receivables, partially offset by deferred revenue and accrued expenses. The receivables included $56 million associated with the Lorenzo Care Management revenue noted above as well as additional balances associated with ongoing non-Lorenzo activities.
While the contract is in a cumulative loss position, and while a forward loss is not evident and has not been accrued, further losses could be incurred by CSC depending on the outcome of negotiations, the terms of any potential agreement, or if no agreement is concluded. The Company is unable to estimate the amount of such additional costs; however, such costs could be material. In addition, depending on the outcome of the negotiations, it is also reasonably possible that an agreement amending the terms of the NHS contract, if concluded, could result in a payment to the Company for the recovery of a portion of the amounts that have been written off as of June 29, 2012 and therefore generate a gain in the near term, net of the Company's net investment in the contract of approximately $97 million. However, there can be no assurance that an agreement with NHS will be concluded, that the terms of any such agreement would be favorable to CSC or as provided in the letter of intent, that any gain will be generated in the event such an agreement is concluded or that any recovery will occur.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Recent accounting pronouncements and the anticipated impact to the Company are described in the notes to the interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q as well as in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2012.
The Company has identified several critical accounting estimates which are described in "Management's Discussion and Analysis" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2012. An accounting estimate is considered critical if both: (a) the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment involved, and (b) the impact of changes in the estimates and assumptions would have a material effect on the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. The Company's critical accounting estimates relate to: revenue recognition and cost estimation and recoverability on long term, fixed-price contracts; revenue recognition on software license sales that require significant customization; estimates used to determine deferred income taxes; capitalization of outsourcing contract costs and software development costs; assumptions related to purchase accounting and goodwill; assumptions to determine retirement benefits costs and liabilities; and assumptions and estimates used to analyze legal and tax contingencies and litigation. Modifications to contract scope, schedule, and price may be required on development contracts accounted for on a percentage-of-completion basis and other contracts with the U.S. federal government. Accounting for such changes prior to formal contract modification requires evaluation of the characteristics and circumstances of the effort completed and assessment of probability of recovery. If recovery is deemed probable, the Company may, as appropriate, either defer the costs until the parties have agreed on the contract change or recognize the costs and related revenue as current period contract performance. The Company routinely negotiates such contract modifications. For all these estimates, we caution that future events may not develop as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment.
PART I, ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of the Company's market risk associated with interest rates and foreign currencies, see "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in the Part II, Item 7A, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2012. For the quarter ended June 29, 2012, there has been no significant change in related market risk factors.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
“Disclosure controls and procedures” are the controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. “Disclosure controls and procedures” include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in its Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the direction of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of June 29, 2012 to ensure (i) that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 29, 2012.
Changes in Internal Controls
“Internal controls over financial reporting” is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer's principal executive and financial officers, and effected by the issuer's board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
| |
(1) | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer; |
| |
(2) | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the issuer; and |
| |
(3) | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer's assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. |
During the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2012, there was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
The information required by this Item is set forth in Note 17, Commitments & Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements under the caption “Contingencies”, contained in Part I - Item 1 of this filing. Such information is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.
Past performance may not be a reliable indicator of future financial performance. Future performance and historical trends may be adversely affected by the following factors, as well as other variables, and should not be relied upon to project future period results.
| |
1. | Our business may be adversely impacted as a result of changes in demand, both globally and in individual market segments, for information technology outsourcing, business process outsourcing and consulting and systems integration services. In addition, worldwide economic weakness and uncertainty could adversely affect our revenue and expenses. |
Current weakness in worldwide economic conditions and political uncertainty may adversely impact our customers' demand for our services in the markets in which we compete, including our customers' demand for consulting, systems integration and other IT services. Our government customers' demand may also be affected by budgetary and political uncertainties, changing priorities, military conflicts and other events.
| |
2. | We are the subject of an ongoing SEC investigation and an SEC comment letter process, which could divert management's focus, result in substantial investigation expenses and have an adverse impact on our reputation and financial condition and results of operations. |
On May 2, 2011, the Audit Committee commenced its investigation into certain accounting errors and irregularities, primarily in our Nordic region and in our operations in Australia. This investigation also reviewed certain aspects of our accounting practices within our Americas Outsourcing operation and certain of our contracts that involve the percentage of completion accounting method, including our contract with the U.K. National Health Service (NHS). As a result of this investigation, we have recorded certain out of period adjustments to our historical financial statements and taken certain remedial measures. The SEC is conducting its own investigation into the foregoing areas as well as certain related disclosure matters. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a discussion of these investigations and adjustments.
In addition, the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance has issued comment letters to the Company requesting, among other things, additional information regarding the Company's previously disclosed accounting adjustments, the Company's conclusions regarding the materiality of such adjustments and the Company's analysis of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting. The Division of Corporation Finance's comment letter process is ongoing, and the Company is continuing to cooperate with that process.
The investigation being conducted by the SEC's Division of Enforcement and the review of our financial disclosures by the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance, are continuing and could identify other accounting errors, irregularities and other areas of review. As a result, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant legal and accounting expenditures, and a significant amount of time of our senior management has been focused on these matters that otherwise would have been focused on the growth of our business. We are unable to predict how long the Division of Enforcement's investigation will continue or whether, at the conclusion of its investigation, the SEC will seek to impose fines or take other actions against us. In addition, we are unable to predict the timing of the completion of the Division of Corporation Finance's review of our financial disclosures or the outcome of such review. Publicity surrounding the foregoing or any enforcement action as a result of the SEC's investigation, even if ultimately resolved favorably for us, could have an adverse impact on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
| |
3. | We are currently in negotiations with the United Kingdom's NHS to modify the terms of our contractual relationship. Failure to conclude a satisfactory resolution could materially adversely affect our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. |
CSC and the NHS are parties to a £2.9 billion (approximately $5.4 billion at originally announced exchange rates) contract under which the Company is developing and deploying an integrated electronic patient records system. As a result of unresolved and continuing discussions between the Company and the NHS concerning possible modifications to such contract, the Company materially impaired its net investment in the contract and recorded a $1.5 billion contract charge as of December 31, 2011. In connection with continuing contract discussions, on March 2, 2012, CSC and the NHS entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “letter of intent”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to a set of high-level principles regarding contract scope modifications and value reductions and expressed their mutual intention to enter into a binding interim agreement (the “interim agreement”) reflecting such principles. The letter of intent also included a Lorenzo-related standstill agreement. Discussions concerning the interim agreement are still ongoing. The interim agreement, if agreed, will form the basis of an amendment and restatement of the existing NHS contract to be negotiated by the parties. Entry into the interim agreement, and ultimately the amendment, will require U.K. government approvals. There can be no assurance that such approvals will be obtained. While the parties intended to conclude a binding interim agreement by June 29, 2012, as previously disclosed, no agreement was reached by this date. On May 31, 2012, the previously disclosed Lorenzo-related standstill agreement was extended to August 31, 2012. Discussions concerning the interim agreement are continuing positively.
There can be no assurance that CSC and NHS will enter into the interim agreement or any amendment to the existing agreement, or if the parties do not enter into the interim agreement or an amendment by August 31, 2012, that the Lorenzo-related standstill arrangement will be further extended. Likewise, there can be no assurance that if the interim agreement or any amendment are negotiated and entered into, that such documents as finally negotiated will be on terms favorable to CSC or as provided in the letter of intent.
A significant delay in entering into the interim agreement or any amendment to the existing agreement or the execution of the interim agreement or any amendment on terms unfavorable to CSC could result in additional costs to CSC, which could be material. Failure to enter into the interim agreement, any amendment or other contract modifications could lead to material litigation between the Company and the NHS, including possible claims for breach of contract. Any of the foregoing circumstances could have a material adverse effect on CSC's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
See Note 16 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for further discussion concerning the foregoing matters.

4. | Our largest customer, the U.S. federal government, accounts for a significant portion of our revenue and earnings. |
Our NPS segment generated approximately 36% of our revenue for fiscal 2012. While the pipeline for government projects continues to be generally less affected by economic downturns, the U.S. budget deficit, including deficit reduction measures, the cost of ongoing military conflicts, the cost of rebuilding infrastructure as a result of natural disasters, and the costs of other one-time adverse events such as the recent financial industry liquidity crisis, may reduce the U.S. federal government's demand and available funds for information technology projects, adversely impacting our NPS segment and our business. In August 2011, President Obama signed into law the Budget Control Act of 2011, which increased the U.S. Government's debt ceiling and enacted 10-year discretionary spending caps expected to generate over $1 trillion in savings for the U.S. Government. According to the Office of Management and Budget, these savings include $487 billion in DOD baseline spending reductions over the next 10 years, starting in 2013. In addition, barring Congressional action, further budget cuts (or sequestration) as outlined in the Budget Control Act of 2011 will be implemented starting in January 2013. Sequestration would lead to additional reductions of approximately $500 billion from the Pentagon's top line budget over the next decade, resulting in aggregate reductions of about $1 trillion over 10 years. In June 2012, the Office of Management and Budget announced that the budget for Overseas Contingency Operations and any unobligated balances in prior year funds will also be included in aggregate reductions. The DOD has taken the position that such reductions would generate significant operational risks and may require the termination of certain, as yet undetermined, procurement programs. Any reduction in levels of DOD spending, cancellations or
delays impacting existing contracts or programs, including through sequestration, could have a material impact on the operating results of our NPS business. While DOD would sustain the bulk of sequestration cuts affecting the Company, civil programs and agencies may be significantly impacted as well. While we believe that our business is well-positioned in areas that the DOD has indicated area areas of focus for future defense spending, the impact of the Budget Control Act remains uncertain and our business and industry could be materially adversely affected.
In addition, federal government budget uncertainty has resulted in a delay in government contract awards. Our revenue could be adversely affected by significant changes in federal spending priorities or policies, including:
| |
◦ | decreases in spending by federal agencies we support; |
| |
◦ | changes in funding priorities; |
| |
◦ | use of government employees for services previously provided by third party contractors; |
| |
◦ | failure of Congress to pass legislation necessary to fund pending projects or to continue to fund projects that extend over multiple years; or |
| |
◦ | delays in payment of invoices due to policy changes. |
Any of these events could result in reductions to existing contracts and fewer future projects, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
| |
5. | Our contracts with the U.S. federal government contain provisions giving government customers certain rights that are unfavorable to us. Such provisions may materially and adversely affect our business and profitability. |
Federal government contracts contain provisions and are subject to laws and regulations that give the government rights and remedies not typically found in commercial contracts. Our exposure to the risks inherent in the government contracting process is material. These risks include government audits of billable contract costs and reimbursable expenses, project funding and requests for equitable adjustment, compliance with government reporting requirements as well as the consequences if improper or illegal activities are discovered.
If any of these should occur, our reputation may be adversely impacted and our relationship with the government agencies we work with may be damaged, resulting in a material and adverse effect on our profitability.
| |
6. | Our ability to continue to develop and expand our service offerings to address emerging business demands and technological trends will impact our future growth. If we are not successful in meeting these business challenges, our results of operations and cash flows will be materially and adversely affected. |
Our ability to implement solutions for our customers incorporating new developments and improvements in technology which translate into productivity improvements for our customers and to develop service offerings that meet the current and prospective customers' needs are critical to our success. The markets we serve are highly competitive. Our competitors may develop solutions or services which make our offerings obsolete. Our ability to develop and implement up to date solutions utilizing new technologies which meet evolving customer needs in consulting and systems integration and technology outsourcing markets will impact our future revenue growth and earnings.
| |
7. | Our primary markets, technology outsourcing and consulting and systems integration, are highly competitive markets. If we are unable to compete in these highly competitive markets, our results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. |
Our competitors include large, technically competent and well capitalized companies, some of which have emerged as a result of industry consolidation, as well as “pure play” companies that have a single product focus. This competition created by these companies may place downward pressure on operating margins in our industry, particularly for technology outsourcing contract extensions or renewals. As a result, we may not be able to maintain our current or achieve favorable operating margins for technology outsourcing contracts extended or renewed in the future.
Any reductions in margins will require that we effectively manage our cost structure. If we fail to effectively manage our cost structure during periods with declining margins, our results of operations will be adversely affected.
| |
8. | Our ability to raise additional capital for future needs will impact our ability to compete in the markets we serve. |
In fiscal 2012, Standard and Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") downgraded the Company from A- to BBB+ with a negative credit watch. On May 17, 2012, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. downgraded the Company's senior unsecured rating to Baa2 from Baa1 with a stable outlook and confirmed its short term rating at Prime-2. On May 22, 2012, S&P and Fitch Ratings LTD ("Fitch") lowered the Company's credit rating to BBB with a negative outlook.
Our credit ratings are based upon information furnished by us or obtained by a rating agency from its own sources and are subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal by one or more rating agencies at any time. Rating agencies may review the ratings assigned to us due to developments that are beyond our control, including as a result of new standards requiring the agencies to reassess rating practices and methodologies.
If further downgrades in our credit ratings were to occur, it could result in higher interest costs for certain of our credit facilities. It would also cause our future borrowing costs to increase and limit our access to capital markets. Further downgrades could negatively impact the perception of the Company by lenders and other third parties. In addition, certain of the Company's major contracts provide customers with a right of termination in certain circumstances in the event of a rating downgrade below investment grade.
| |
9. | We may be unable to identify future attractive acquisitions, which may adversely affect our growth. In addition, our ability to consummate and integrate acquisitions we consummate may materially and adversely affect our profitability if we fail to achieve anticipated revenue improvements and cost reductions. |
We intend to identify strategic acquisitions that will allow us to expand our operations. However, we may be unable to identify attractive candidates or complete acquisitions on terms favorable to us. In addition, our ability to successfully integrate the operations we acquire and leverage these operations to generate revenue and earnings growth will significantly impact future revenue and earnings as well as investor returns. Integrating acquired operations is a significant challenge and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to manage the integrations successfully. Failure to successfully integrate acquired operations may adversely affect our cost structure thereby reducing our margins and return on investment.
| |
10. | We could suffer additional losses due to asset impairment charges. |
We test our goodwill for impairment during the second quarter every year, and on an interim date should events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC 350 (Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets). If the fair value of a reporting unit is revised downward due to declines in business performance or other factors, an impairment under ASC 350 could result and a non-cash charge could be required. This could materially affect our reported net earnings.
We also test certain equipment and deferred cost balances associated with contracts when the contract is materially underperforming or is expected to materially underperform in the future, as compared to the original bid model or budget. If the projected cash flows of the particular contract are not adequate to recover the unamortized cost balance of the asset group, the balance is adjusted in the tested period based on the contract's fair value. These impairments could materially affect our reported net earnings.
| |
11. | Our customers may experience financial difficulties or may request out-of-scope work, and we may not be able to collect our receivables, materially and adversely affecting our profitability. |
Over the course of a long-term contract, our customers' financial condition may change affecting their ability to pay their obligations and our ability to collect our fees for services rendered. Additionally, we may perform work for the federal government, for which we must file requests for equitable adjustment or claims with the proper agency to seek recovery in whole or in part for out-of-scope work directed or caused by the customers in support of their critical missions. While we may resort to other methods to pursue our claims or collect our receivables, these methods are expensive and time consuming and success is not guaranteed. Failure to collect our receivables or prevail on our claims would have an adverse affect on our profitability.
| |
12. | If we are unable to accurately estimate the cost of services and the timeline for completion of contracts, the profitability of our contracts may be materially and adversely affected. |
Our commercial and federal government contracts are typically awarded on a competitive basis. Our bids are based upon, among other items, the cost to provide the services. To generate an acceptable return on our investment in these contracts, we must be able to accurately estimate our costs to provide the services required by the contract and to be able to complete the contracts in a timely manner. In addition, revenues from some of our contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, which requires estimates of total costs at completion, fees earned on the contract, or both. This estimation process, particularly due to the technical nature of the services being performed and the long-term nature of certain contracts, is complex and involves significant judgment. Adjustments to original estimates are often required as work progresses, experience is gained and additional information becomes known, even though the scope of the work required under the contract may not change. If we fail to accurately estimate our costs or the time required to complete a contract, the profitability of our contracts may be materially and adversely affected.
| |
13. | We are defendants in pending litigation which may have a material and adverse impact on our profitability. |
As noted in Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings and Note 17 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, we are currently party to a number of disputes which involve or may involve litigation. We are not able to predict the ultimate outcome of these disputes or the actual impact of these matters on our profitability. If we agree to settle these matters or judgments are secured against us, we may incur charges which may have a material and adverse impact on our liquidity and earnings.
| |
14. | Our contracts with U.S. governmental agencies are subject to regulations, audits and cost adjustments by the U.S. government, which could materially and adversely affect our operations. |
We are engaged in providing services under contracts with agencies of the U.S. government. These contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from time to time, agencies of the U.S. government investigate whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements. These investigations may include a review of our performance on contracts, pricing practices, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. U.S. government investigations of us, whether related to the Company's federal government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. government contracting. In addition, we could suffer serious reputational harm.
| |
15. | Our ability to provide our customers with competitive services is dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. |
Our ability to grow and provide our customers with competitive services is partially dependent on our ability to attract and retain highly motivated people with the skills to serve our customers. As we noted above, the markets we serve are highly competitive and competition for skilled employees in the technology outsourcing and consulting and systems integration markets is intense for both on-shore and offshore locales. The loss of personnel could impair our ability to perform under certain of our contracts, which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
| |
16. | Our ability to perform services for certain of our government clients is dependent on our ability to maintain necessary security clearances. |
Select U.S. and non-U.S. government clients require CSC to maintain security clearances for certain Company facilities used in performance of classified contracts. Employees who perform under certain government contracts are required to possess appropriate personnel security clearances for access to classified information granted by their respective governments. The competition for qualified personnel who possess security clearance is very competitive in certain public sector markets. In the event that a government customer were to revoke the facility and/or personal clearances of all or substantially all of the employees performing work under a classified contract, such revocation could be grounds for termination of the contract by the government customer. Similarly, if the Company was unable to hire sufficient qualified and cleared personnel to meet its contractual commitments, its contract could be terminated for non-performance. Under either circumstance such termination, depending on
the contract value, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
| |
17. | Our international operations are exposed to risks, including fluctuations in exchange rates, which may be beyond our control. |
For fiscal 2012, approximately 38% of our recognized revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The exposure to currencies other than the U.S. dollar may impact our results as they are expressed in U.S. dollars. In particular, the uncertainty with respect to the ability of certain European countries to continue to service their sovereign debt obligations and the related European financial restructuring efforts may cause the value of the euro to fluctuate. Currency variations also contribute to variations in sales of products and services in impacted jurisdictions. For example, in the event that one or more European countries were to replace the euro with another currency, sales in that country or in Europe generally may be adversely affected until stable exchange rates are established. While currency risk, including exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, is partially mitigated by largely matching costs with revenues in a given currency, our exposure to fluctuations in other currencies against the U.S. dollar increases as revenue in currencies other than the U.S. dollar increase and as more of the services we provide are shifted to lower cost regions of the world. We believe that the percentage of our revenue denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar will continue to represent a significant portion of our revenue. Also, we believe that some of our ability to match revenue and expenses in a given currency will decrease as more work is performed at offshore locations.
We operate in approximately ninety countries and our operations in these countries are subject to the local legal and political environments. Our operations are subject to, among other things, employment, taxation, statutory reporting, trade restrictions and other regulations. Notwithstanding our best efforts, we may not be in compliance with all regulations around the world and may be subject to penalties and/or fines as a result. These penalties or fines may materially and adversely impact our profitability.
| |
18. | We may be exposed to negative publicity and other potential risks if we are unable to maintain effective internal controls. |
We are required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to include a report of management on the Company's internal controls that contains an assessment by management of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the public accounting firm auditing our financial statements must report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting or, if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide us with an unqualified report as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of each fiscal year end, we may be exposed to negative publicity. The resulting negative publicity may materially and adversely affect our business and stock price.
| |
19. | In the course of providing services to customers, we may inadvertently infringe on the intellectual property rights of others and be exposed to claims for damages. |
The solutions we provide to our customers may inadvertently infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties resulting in claims for damages against us or our customers. Our contracts generally indemnify our clients from claims for intellectual property infringement for the services and equipment we provide under our contracts. The expense and time of defending against these claims may have a material and adverse impact on our profitability. Additionally, the publicity we may receive as a result of infringing intellectual property rights may damage our reputation and adversely impact our ability to develop new business.
| |
20. | Generally our contracts contain provisions under which a customer may terminate the contract prior to completion. Early contract terminations may materially and adversely affect our revenues and profitability. |
Our contracts contain provisions by which customers may terminate the contract prior to completion of the term of the contract. These contracts generally allow the customer to terminate the contract for convenience upon providing written notice. In these cases, we seek, either by defined contract schedules or through negotiations, recovery of our property, plant, equipment, outsourcing costs, investments, and other intangibles. There is no assurance we will be able to fully recover our investments.
We may not be able to replace the revenue and earnings from these contracts in the short-term. In the long-term, our reputation may be harmed by the publicity generated from contract terminations.
| |
21. | Our ability to compete in certain markets we serve is dependent on our ability to continue to expand our capacity in certain offshore locations. However, as our presence in these locations increases, we are exposed to risks inherent to these locations which may adversely impact our revenue and profitability. |
A significant portion of our application outsourcing and software development activities have been shifted to India, and we plan to continue to expand our presence there and in other lower cost locations. As such, we are exposed to the risks inherent to operating in India including (1) a highly competitive labor market for skilled workers which may result in significant increases in labor costs as well as shortages of qualified workers in the future, (2) the possibility that the U.S. federal government or the European Union may enact legislation which may provide significant disincentives to customers to offshore certain of their operations which would reduce the demand for the services we provide in India and may adversely impact our cost structure and profitability. In addition, India has recently experienced civil unrest and acts of terrorism and has been involved in confrontations with Pakistan. If India continues to experience this civil unrest or if its conflicts with Pakistan escalate, our operations in India could be adversely affected.
| |
22. | Our performance on contracts, including those on which we have partnered with third parties, may be adversely affected if we or the third parties fail to deliver on commitments. |
Our contracts are increasingly complex, and in some instances, require that we partner with other parties including software and hardware vendors to provide the complex solutions required by our customers. Our ability to deliver the solutions and provide the services required by our customers is dependent on our and our partners' ability to meet our customers' delivery schedules. If we or our partners fail to deliver services or products on time, our ability to complete the contract may be adversely affected, which may have a material and adverse impact on our revenue and profitability.
| |
23. | Security breaches or service interruptions could expose us to liability or impair our reputation, which could cause significant financial loss. |
As a U.S. government contractor and a provider of information technology services operating in a number of regulated industries and countries, we handle sensitive data of our clients, including personal information and information relating to sensitive government functions. In the ordinary course of our business, we develop, install and maintain systems and networks that manage and store this data. The security and privacy of information stored or managed by our systems is subject to numerous international, U.S. federal and state laws. While we maintain information security policies and procedures designed to comply with relevant privacy and security laws and restrictions, if a system or network that we develop, install or maintain were to fail or experience a security breach or service interruption, we may be subject to significant legal and financial exposure, damage to our reputation, and loss of confidence in the security of our products and services.
| |
24. | Changes in the Company's tax rates could affect its future results. |
The Company's future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, or by changes in tax laws or their interpretation. The Company is subject to the continuous examination of its income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these examinations will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and operating results.
The recently proposed international tax provisions and expiring temporary tax provisions may adversely affect our results. The Company has significant operations overseas, and the new proposals may adversely affect our costs and margins. Also, some of these proposals may cause the Company to be less globally competitive as a U.S. tax liability would increase costs of doing business globally.
| |
25. | We may be adversely affected by disruptions in the credit markets, including reduced access to credit and higher costs of obtaining credit. |
The credit markets have historically been volatile and therefore it is not possible for the Company to predict the ability of its clients and customers to access short-term financing and other forms of capital. If a disruption in the credit markets were to occur, it could also pose a risk to the Company's business as customers and suppliers may be unable to obtain financing to meet payment or delivery obligations to the Company. In addition, customers may decide to downsize, defer or cancel contracts which could negatively affect revenue.
| |
26. | Our foreign currency hedging program is subject to counterparty default risk. |
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts and options with a number of counterparties. As of June 29, 2012, we had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts with a notional value of $1,964 million and outstanding option contracts with a notional value of $526 million. The terms of these contracts are often customized and complex. As a result, we are subject to the risk that the counterparty to one or more of these contracts defaults on its performance under the contract. During an economic downturn, the counterparty's financial condition may deteriorate rapidly and with little notice and we may be unable to take action to protect our exposure. In the event of a counterparty default, we could incur significant losses, which may harm our business and financial condition. In the event that one or more of our counterparties becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, our ability to eventually recover any losses suffered as a result of that counterparty's default may be limited by the liquidity of the counterparty.
| |
27. | We derive significant revenue and profit from contracts awarded through a competitive bidding process, which can impose substantial costs on us, and we will not achieve revenue and profit objectives if we fail to bid on such projects effectively. |
We derive significant revenue and profit from contracts that are awarded through a competitive bidding process. We expect that most of the government business we seek in the foreseeable future will be awarded through competitive bidding. Competitive bidding imposes substantial costs and presents a number of risks, including:
| |
• | the substantial cost and managerial time and effort that we spend to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may or may not be awarded to us; |
| |
• | the need to estimate accurately the resources and costs that will be required to service any contracts we are awarded, sometimes in advance of the final determination of their full scope and design; |
| |
• | the expense and delay that may arise if our competitors protest or challenge awards made to us pursuant to competitive bidding, and the risk that such protests or challenges could result in the requirement to resubmit bids, and in the termination, reduction, or modification of the awarded contracts; and |
| |
• | the opportunity cost of not bidding on and winning other contracts we might otherwise pursue. |
| |
28. | Catastrophic events or climate conditions may disrupt CSC's business. |
The Company and its customers are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign government requirements relating to the protection of the environment. Our revenues and results of operations may be adversely affected by the passage of climate change and other environmental legislation and regulations. For example, new legislation or regulations may result in increased costs directly for our compliance or indirectly to the extent that such requirements increase prices charged to us by vendors because of increased compliance costs. At this point, we are unable to determine the impact that climate change and other environmental legislation and regulations could have on our overall business.

(2) | On December 13, 2010, the Company publicly announced that its board of directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing up to $1 billion in share repurchases of the Company’s outstanding common stock. CSC expects to implement the program through purchases made in open market transactions in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-18, subject to market conditions, and applicable state and federal legal requirements. Share repurchases will be funded with available cash. The timing, volume, and nature of share repurchases will be at the discretion of management, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. CSC’s Board has not established an end date for the new repurchase program. The approximate amount for which shares may yet be purchased under this program at June 29, 2012 is $935 million. |
The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock in the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2012.
