Business Overview
iGATE's service offerings include Information Technology ("IT") and IT enabled operations offshore outsourcing solutions and services to large and medium-sized organizations using an offshore/onsite model.
The use of offshore outsourcing for IT and IT enabled operations offshore outsourcing solutions and services has emerged as a global trend in numerous countries and industries. Our clients recognize that offshore outsourcing is an effective way to provide high quality and cost-effective services.
Our principal strategy is to offer offshore-based Integrated Technology and Operations ("iTOPS") solutions that integrate IT outsourcing and IT enabled operations offshore outsourcing solutions and services in a seamless offering as well as conventional IT and business process outsourcing services to our clients in various industries. Some of our current service offerings are non-IT related and include services as diverse as call centers and mortgage and claims processing. We may continue to expand our IT enabled operations offshore outsourcing service offerings through acquisitions and strategic relationships and internal initiatives.
Our iTOPs offerings include outsourcing solutions focused primarily on insurance, banking, financial services and capital markets industries as well as finance and accounting process outsourcing delivered out of our offshore facilities in India that targets diverse industries
IT services that we deliver using our offshore centers include software application development and maintenance, system integration, implementation and support of enterprise applications, package evaluation and implementation, re-engineering, data warehousing, business intelligence, analytics, data management and integration, software testing and IT infrastructure management services. We believe that we deliver high quality solutions to our clients at a substantial savings by using our global pool of highly talented people.
IT enabled operations offshore outsourcing solutions and services offered include business process outsourcing, transaction processing services and call center services. The call center services are offered to clients in several industries and are not industry specific. The transaction processing services offered are focused on the mortgage banking, financial services, insurance and capital market industries, except for the delivery of finance and accounting functions such as accounts payable which can be performed for clients across all industries.
iGATE has offshore development centers ("ODCs") located in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and Noida in India. iGATE has global development centers ("GDCs") located in Canada, Malaysia, Mexico and the U.S. The centers can deliver both near shore (work performed primarily at the client site) and offshore services, dependent upon customer location and expectations. iGATE operates in India, Canada, the U.S., Europe, Mexico, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and Australia.
A majority of our clients have headquarters in North America and operate internationally. iGATE has 6,430 employees as of June 30, 2009.
iGATE markets its service offerings to large and medium-sized organizations. Certain contracts are based upon a fixed price with payment based upon deliverables and/or project milestones reached. Certain contracts are time-and-materials based where contract payments are based on the number of consultant hours worked on the project. Certain contracts with no stated deliverables have a designated workforce and are based on fixed periodic payments. Some process outsourcing contracts provide pricing per transaction. Customers typically have the right to cancel contracts with minimal notice. Contracts with deliverables or project milestones can provide for certain penalties if the deliverables or project milestones are not met within contract timelines.
iGATE services customers in a wide range of industries. Our largest customer is Royal Bank of Canada which accounted for approximately 26% and 24% of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the corresponding figures are 18%. Our second largest customer, General Electric Company ("GE"), accounted for approximately 24% of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the corresponding figures are 25% and 24%, respectively. iGATE is a Global Preferred Partner of GE. Our Global Preferred Partnership status extends through the end of 2009.
Reportable Financial Segments
The Company's reportable segments through June 30, 2008 were iGATE Solutions ("iGS"), iGATE Professional Services ("iPS") and iGATE Shared Services ("iSS"). The iGS segment's service offerings include IT and IT enabled operations offshore outsourcing solutions and services to large and medium-sized organizations. The iPS segment's offerings included a variety of client-managed and supervised IT staffing service offerings. This segment's services are offered principally in the United States of America. The iSS segment's offerings included the operations of the clinical research business (i.e. iGATE Clinical Research International Inc. and iGATE Clinical Research International Private Limited collectively "iCRI") and the corporate shared service division of the Company.
On July 31, 2008, the Company sold its clinical research business. Additionally, pursuant to an enterprise reorganization, the Company assigned the resources, including employees, relating to the corporate shared service division in the iSS segment to the iGS segment of its business. Also, as more fully explained in Note 2 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, effective September 30, 2008, the Company spun off the iPS segment of its business into a newly formed company known as Mastech Holdings, Inc ("Mastech").
As a consequence of the above mentioned events, currently the business of the Company is comprised solely of what was formerly known as the iGS segment, which is conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary, iGATE Global Solutions Limited.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting polices are described in the summary of significant accounting policies as discussed in Note 1 of our Form 10-K.
Results of Operations from Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008:
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $46.8 million, a decrease of $9.4 million, or 16.7%, as compared to $56.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Our revenue decrease for the periods presented is directly attributable to a combination of reduced customer demand, pricing pressure, volatility in currency markets, and customer insolvencies. The top 10 customers accounted for 80% and 70% of the revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.
The gross margin as a percentage of sales ("gross margin percentage") was 38.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to 35.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily on account of increase in utilization rates and strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against other currencies.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G&A") include all costs that are not directly associated with revenue-generating activities. S,G&A expenses include employee costs, corporate costs and facilities costs. Employee costs include selling, marketing and administrative salaries and related employee benefits, travel, recruiting and training costs. Corporate costs include costs such as legal, accounting and outside consulting fees. Facilities costs primarily include rent and communications costs.
S,G&A costs for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $8.9 million or 18.9% of revenues, as compared to $10.3 million or 18.4% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Our net employee cost decreased by $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to three months ended June 30, 2008, mainly due to a decrease in variable pay, reduction of support headcount from 525 to 483, recruitment, travel and related costs. Our net corporate cost increased by $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to increase in provision for doubtful debts and legal costs, offset by the decrease in marketing, accounting, insurance and administrative charges. Our net facilities costs increased by $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, mainly due to increase in rental and communication related expenses. The decrease in S,G&A cost includes a favorable impact of strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against other currencies amounting to $0.9 million.
Depreciation and amortization costs for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $1.9 million or 4.0% of revenues, as compared to $2.4 million or 4.3% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Operating income was 15.3% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 12.6% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008. This increase was due primarily to the decrease in S,G&A costs and increased gross margin.
Other (Expense) Income Components
Other (expense) income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2009, totaled $
(1.0) million, compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30,
2008.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, our net investment income totaled $0.9 million as compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents from $19.6 million in June 30, 2008 to $24.3 million in June 30, 2009 and a consequential increase in investable funds. The increase in cash was mainly due to the cash flow from operating activity which offset the payment of our first annual dividend and investment in new properties. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized $2.0 million of foreign currency loss in our income statement as compared to a gain of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. These are primarily due to loss on settlement of foreign currency derivative contracts amounting to $2.5 million, offset by $0.5 million gain on account of remeasurement of foreign currency monetary items. As of June 30, 2009, all the outstanding forward contracts met the qualifying criteria to apply hedge accounting.
Income Taxes
Federal income taxes, calculated at the U.S. statutory rate, totaled $2.1 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. State income taxes, which totaled $0.03 million and $nil for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were calculated using a blended statutory rate, and are net of federal income tax benefit. Our income tax provision was $0.13 million at an effective rate of 2.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Our income tax provision was $0.48 million at an effective rate of 6.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Several items caused variations from our statutory tax provision. iGS is eligible to claim a tax holiday on the majority of its operating income through March 31, 2010. Taxable income for determining the income tax provision of iGS includes non operating income, such as interest income and capital gains income and operating income of one of its units for which the tax holiday has
expired. The tax holiday and foreign taxes have resulted in a benefit of $2.2 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Other variations typically arise because certain expenses or benefits recorded in our financial statements are either limited or disallowed when calculating our income tax provision. Certain expenses such as meals and entertainment and executive compensation are limited for income tax purposes. Losses in the current year will result in a set off of future taxable income. The impact of the limited or disallowed items and benefit of losses discussed above was $0.18 million and ($0.08) million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Results of Operations from Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 as Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008:
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $91.6 million, a decrease of $20.2 million, or 18.1%, as compared to $111.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Our revenue decrease for the period presented is directly attributable to a combination of reduced customer demand, pricing pressure, volatility in currency markets, and customer insolvencies. The top 10 customers accounted for 80% and 68% of the revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.
The gross margin as a percentage of sales ("gross margin percentage") was 37.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to 35.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily on account of increase in utilization rate and strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against other currencies.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("S,G&A") include all costs that are not directly associated with revenue-generating activities. S,G&A expenses include employee costs, corporate costs and facilities costs. Employee costs include selling, marketing and administrative salaries and related employee benefits, travel, recruiting and training costs. Corporate costs include costs such as legal, accounting and outside consulting fees. Facilities costs primarily include rent and communications costs.
S,G&A costs for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $17.4 million or 19.0% of revenues, as compared to $22.3 million or 19.9% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Our net employee cost decreased by $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to six months ended June 30, 2008, mainly due to decrease in variable pay, reduction of support headcount from 527 to 482, recruitment, travel and related costs. Our net corporate cost was lower by $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to decrease in marketing, legal, accounting and administrative charges offset by increase in provision for doubtful debts. Our net facilities costs increased by $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in S,G&A cost includes favorable impact of strengthening of U.S. Dollar against other currencies amounting to $2.4 million.
Depreciation and amortization costs for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $3.8 million or 4.1% of revenues, as compared to $5.3 million or 4.8% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Operating income was 13.9% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 11.3% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This increase was due primarily to the decrease in S,G&A costs and increased gross margin.
Other (Expense) Income Components
Other (expense) income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2009, totaled $(1.7) million, compared to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, our net investment income totaled $1.8 million as compared to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents from $19.6 million in June 30, 2008 to $24.3 million in June 30, 2009 and a consequential increase in investable funds. The increase in cash was mainly due to the cash flow from operating activity which offsets the payment of dividend and investment in new properties. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized a $3.8 million of foreign currency loss in our income statement as compared to a gain of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. These are primarily due to loss on settlement of foreign currency derivative contracts amounting to $4.7 million, offset by $0.9 million gain on account of remeasurement of foreign currency monetary items. As of June 30, 2009 all the outstanding forward contracts met the qualifying criteria to apply hedge accounting.
Income Taxes
Federal income taxes, calculated at the U.S. statutory rate, totaled $3.8 million and $5.06 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. State income taxes, which totaled $0.04 million and $nil for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were calculated using a blended statutory rate, and are net of federal income tax benefits. We had an income tax benefit of $0.03 million at an effective rate of 0.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Our income tax provision was $0.58 million at an effective rate of 4.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
