OPEN TEXT CORPORATIONNOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2019(Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

(unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Open Text Corporation and our subsidiaries, collectively referredto as "OpenText" or the "Company". We wholly own all of our subsidiaries with the exception of Open Text South Africa Proprietary Ltd. (OT South Africa) andEC1 Pte. Ltd. (GXS Singapore), which as of December 31, 2019, were 70% and 81% owned, respectively, by OpenText. All inter-company balances andtransactions have been eliminated.

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q: (i) the term “Fiscal 2020” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2019 and ending June 30, 2020; (ii)the term “Fiscal 2019” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2018 and ended June 30, 2019; (iii) the term “Fiscal 2018” means our fiscal year beginning onJuly 1, 2017 and ended June 30, 2018; (iv) the term “Fiscal 2017” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2016 and ended June 30, 2017; and (v) the term“Fiscal 2016” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2015 and ended June 30, 2016.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally acceptedaccounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented andincludes certain assets and liabilities of Dynamic Solutions Group Inc. (The Fax Guys), with effect from December 2, 2019, and the financial results of Carbonite,Inc. (Carbonite), with effect from December 24, 2019 (see note 19 "Acquisitions").

Use of estimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the

amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for makingjudgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Inparticular, key estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) accounting for income taxes, (iii) testing of goodwill forimpairment, (iv) the valuation of acquired intangible assets, (v) the valuation of long-lived assets, (vi) the recognition of contingencies, (vii) restructuring accruals,(viii) acquisition accruals and pre-acquisition contingencies, (ix) the realization of investment tax credits, (x) the valuation of stock options granted and obligationsrelated to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plans, and (xi) the valuation of pension obligations.

Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

LeasesEffective July 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (Topic 842) using the modified retrospective

transition approach. In accordance with this adoption method, results for reporting periods as of July 1, 2019 are presented under the new standard, while priorperiod results continue to be reported under the previous standard. Additionally, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transitionguidance within Topic 842, which allowed us to (i) carry forward the historical lease classification for any expired or existing leases, (ii) not reassess whether anyexpired or existing contracts contain leases and (iii) not reassess any initial direct cost for existing leases. We did not elect the practical expedient of hindsightwhen determining the lease term of existing contracts at the effective date. As a result of this adoption, we recorded the following adjustments as of July 1, 2019 onthe Consolidated Balance Sheets:

• An increase in operating lease right of use assets of approximately $217.5 million;• An increase in total operating lease liabilities of approximately $253.5 million;• A decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of approximately $6.6 million in connection with lease fair value adjustments and prepaid rent;• A decrease in other assets of approximately $0.2 million in connection with lease fair value adjustments; and

• A decrease in total accrued liabilities of approximately $42.8 million in connection with tenant allowances, deferred rent, lease fair value adjustments, andamounts payable in respect of restructured facilities.

The adoption of Topic 842 had no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Condensed Consolidated Statements of ComprehensiveIncome, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Please refer to Note 6, “Leases,” foradditional information.

NOTE 2—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in Fiscal 2020During Fiscal 2020, we have adopted the following ASUs, in addition to those discussed in note 1 "Basis of Presentation". The ASUs listed below did not

have a material impact to our reported financial position, results of operations or cash flows:

• ASU No. 2017-12 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (ASU 2017-12)

• ASU No. 2018-15 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurredin a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract”

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Retirement BenefitsIn August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2018-14 “Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans -

General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” (ASU 2018-14), which modifies thedisclosure requirements for defined benefit pension plans and other post retirement plans. ASU 2018-14 is effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal yearending June 30, 2021. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2018-14 on our consolidated financial statements.

Financial InstrumentsIn June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)” and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial

guidance under ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05 and ASU 2019-11 (collectively Topic 326). Topic 326 requires the measurement and recognition ofexpected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. This replaces the existing incurred loss model with an expected loss model and requires the use offorward looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. Topic 326 is effective for us in our first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. Topic 326must be adopted by applying a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. We are currently evaluating Topic 326, including its potential impact to ourprocess and controls. We believe the effect on our consolidated financial statements will largely depend on the composition and credit quality of our financialassets and the economic conditions at the time of adoption.

NOTE 3—REVENUES

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), we account for a customercontract when we obtain written approval, the contract is committed, the rights of the parties, including the payment terms, are identified, the contract hascommercial substance and consideration is probable of collection. Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of a promised product or service is transferred to ourcustomers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for our products and services (at its transaction price). Estimates ofvariable consideration and the determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based on readily available information, whichmay include historical, current and forecasted information, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and specific facts andcircumstances of each arrangement. We report revenue net of any revenue-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrentwith specific revenue producing transactions.

We have four revenue streams: license, cloud services and subscriptions, customer support, and professional service and other.License revenue

Our license revenue can be broadly categorized as perpetual licenses, term licenses and subscription licenses, all of which are deployed on the customer’spremises (on-premise).

10

Page 14: OPEN TEXT CORP ORATION · 2020. 1. 30. · Provision for (recovery of) income taxes (note 15) 46,818 36,236 69,909 66,086 Net income for the period $ 107,518 $ 104,461 $ 181,945 $

Perpetual licenses: We sell perpetual licenses which provide customers the right to use software for an indefinite period of time in exchange for a one-timelicense fee, which is generally paid at contract inception. Our perpetual licenses provide a right to use intellectual property (IP) that is functional in natureand have significant stand-alone functionality. Accordingly, for perpetual licenses of functional IP, revenue is recognized at the point-in-time when controlhas been transferred to the customer, which normally occurs once software activation keys have been made available for download.

Term licenses and Subscription licenses: We sell both term and subscription licenses which provide customers the right to use software for a specifiedperiod in exchange for a fee, which may be paid at contract inception or paid in installments over the period of the contract. Like perpetual licenses, both ourterm licenses and subscription licenses are functional IP that have significant stand-alone functionality. Accordingly, for both term and subscription licenses,revenue is recognized at the point-in-time when the customer is able to use and benefit from the software, which is normally once software activation keyshave been made available for download at the commencement of the term.

Cloud services and subscriptions revenueCloud services and subscriptions revenue are from hosting arrangements where in connection with the licensing of software, the end user does not take

possession of the software, as well as from end-to-end fully outsourced business-to-business (B2B) integration solutions to our customers (collectively referred toas cloud arrangements). The software application resides on our hardware or that of a third party, and the customer accesses and uses the software on an as-neededbasis. Our cloud arrangements can be broadly categorized as "platform as a service" (PaaS), "software as a service" (SaaS), cloud subscriptions and managedservices.

PaaS/ SaaS/ Cloud Subscriptions (collectively referred to here as cloud-based solutions): We offer cloud-based solutions that provide customers theright to access our software through the internet. Our cloud-based solutions represent a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have thesame pattern of transfer to the customer. These services are made available to the customer continuously throughout the contractual period, however, theextent to which the customer uses the services may vary at the customer’s discretion. The payment for cloud-based solutions may be received either atinception of the arrangement, or over the term of the arrangement.These cloud-based solutions are considered to have a single performance obligation where the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit,and as such we recognize revenue for these cloud-based solutions ratably over the term of the contractual agreement. For example, revenue related to cloud-based solutions that are provided on a usage basis, such as the number of users, is recognized based on a customer’s utilization of the services in a givenperiod.Additionally, a software license is present in a cloud-based solutions arrangement if all of the following criteria are met:

(i) The customer has the contractual right to take possession of the software at any time without significant penalty; and(ii) It is feasible for the customer to host the software independent of us.

In these cases where a software license is present in a cloud-based solutions arrangement it is assessed to determine if it is distinct from the cloud-basedsolutions arrangement. The revenue allocated to the distinct software license would be recognized at the point in time the software license is transferred to thecustomer, whereas the revenue allocated to the hosting performance obligation would be recognized ratably on a monthly basis over the contractual termunless evidence suggests that revenue is earned, or obligations are fulfilled in a different pattern over the contractual term of the arrangement.

Managed services: We provide comprehensive B2B process outsourcing services for all day-to-day operations of a customers’ B2B integration program.Customers using these managed services are not permitted to take possession of our software and the contract is for a defined period, where customers pay amonthly or quarterly fee. Our performance obligation is satisfied as we provide services of operating and managing a customer's electronic data interchange(EDI) environment. Revenue relating to these services is recognized using an output method based on the expected level of service we will provide over theterm of the contract.In connection with cloud subscription and managed service contracts, we often agree to perform a variety of services before the customer goes live, such as

for example, converting and migrating customer data, building interfaces and providing training. These services are considered an outsourced suite of professionalservices which can involve certain project-based activities. These services can be provided at the initiation of a contract, during the implementation or on anongoing basis as part of the customer life cycle. These services can be charged separately on a fixed fee or time and materials basis, or the costs associated may berecovered as part of the ongoing cloud subscription or managed services fee. These outsourced professional services are considered to be distinct from the ongoinghosting services and represent a separate performance obligation within our cloud subscription or managed services arrangements. The obligation to provideoutsourced professional services is satisfied over time, with the customer simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits as we satisfy our performance

Page 15: OPEN TEXT CORP ORATION · 2020. 1. 30. · Provision for (recovery of) income taxes (note 15) 46,818 36,236 69,909 66,086 Net income for the period $ 107,518 $ 104,461 $ 181,945 $

obligations. For outsourced professional services, we recognize revenue by measuring progress toward the satisfaction of our performance obligation. Progress forservices that are contracted for a fixed price is generally measured based on hours incurred as a portion of total estimated hours. As a practical expedient, when weinvoice a customer at an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance to date, we recognize revenue at that amount.

Customer support revenueCustomer support revenue is associated with perpetual, term license and on-premise subscription arrangements. As customer support is not critical to the

customer's ability to derive benefit from its right to use our software, customer support is considered as a distinct performance obligation when sold together in abundled arrangement along with the software.

Customer support consists primarily of technical support and the provision of unspecified updates and upgrades on a when-and-if-available basis. Customersupport for perpetual licenses is renewable, generally on an annual basis, at the option of the customer. Customer support for term and subscription licenses isrenewable concurrently with such licenses for the same duration of time. Payments for customer support are generally made at the inception of the contract term orin installments over the term of the maintenance period. Our customer support team is ready to provide these maintenance services, as needed, to the customerduring the contract term. As the elements of customer support are delivered concurrently and have the same pattern of transfer, customer support is accounted foras a single performance obligation. The customer benefits evenly throughout the contract period from the guarantee that the customer support resources andpersonnel will be available to them, and that any unspecified upgrades or unspecified future products developed by us will be made available. Revenue forcustomer support is recognized ratably over the contract period based on the start and end dates of the maintenance term, in line with how we believe services areprovided.

Professional service and other revenueOur professional services, when offered along with software licenses, consists primarily of technical services and training services. Technical services may

include installation, customization, implementation or consulting services. Training services may include access to online modules or delivering a training packagecustomized to the customer’s needs. At the customer’s discretion, we may offer one, all, or a mix of these services. Payment for professional services is generally afixed fee or is a fee based on time and materials.

Professional services can be arranged in the same contract as the software license or in a separate contract.As our professional services do not significantly change the functionality of the license and our customers can benefit from our professional services on their

own or together with other readily available resources, we consider professional services as distinct within the context of the contract.Professional service revenue is recognized over time so long as: (i) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as we perform them, (ii)

our performance creates or enhances an asset the customer controls as we perform, and (iii) our performance does not create an asset with alternative use and wehave enforceable right to payment.

If all of the above criteria are met, we use an input-based measure of progress for recognizing professional service revenue. For example we may considertotal labor hours incurred compared to total expected labor hours. As a practical expedient, when we invoice a customer at an amount that corresponds directlywith the value to the customer of our performance to date, we will recognize revenue at that amount.

Material rightsTo the extent that we grant our customer an option to acquire additional products or services in one of our arrangements, we will account for the option as a

distinct performance obligation in the contract only if the option provides a material right to the customer that the customer would not receive without entering intothe contract. For example if we give the customer an option to acquire additional goods or services in the future at a price that is significantly lower than the currentprice, this would be a material right as it allows the customer to, in effect, pay in advance for the option to purchase future products or services. If a material rightexists in one of our contracts then revenue allocated to the option is deferred and we would recognize revenue only when those future products or services aretransferred or when the option expires.

Based on history, our contracts do not typically contain material rights and when they do, the material right is not significant to our consolidated financialstatements.

Arrangements with multiple performance obligationsOur contracts generally contain more than one of the products and services listed above. Determining whether goods and services are considered distinct

performance obligations that should be accounted for separately or as a single performance obligation may require judgment, specifically when assessing whetherboth of the following two criteria are met:

12

Page 16: OPEN TEXT CORP ORATION · 2020. 1. 30. · Provision for (recovery of) income taxes (note 15) 46,818 36,236 69,909 66,086 Net income for the period $ 107,518 $ 104,461 $ 181,945 $

• the customer can benefit from the product or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer; and• our promise to transfer the product or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.

If these criteria are not met, we determine an appropriate measure of progress based on the nature of our overall promise for the single performanceobligation.

If these criteria are met, each product or service is separately accounted for as a distinct performance obligation and the total transaction price is allocated toeach performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price (SSP) basis.

Standalone selling priceThe SSP reflects the price we would charge for a specific product or service if it was sold separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. Inmost cases we are able to establish the SSP based on observable data. We typically establish a narrow SSP range for our products and services and assess thisrange on a periodic basis or when material changes in facts and circumstances warrant a review.If the SSP is not directly observable, then we estimate the amount using either the expected cost plus a margin or residual approach. Estimating SSP requiresjudgment that could impact the amount and timing of revenue recognized. SSP is a formal process whereby management considers multiple factors including,but not limited to, geographic or regional specific factors, competitive positioning, internal costs, profit objectives, and pricing practices.

Transaction Price AllocationIn bundled arrangements, where we have more than one distinct performance obligation, we must allocate the transaction price to each performanceobligation based on its relative SSP. However, in certain bundled arrangements, the SSP may not always be directly observable. For instance, in bundledarrangements with license and customer support, we allocate the transaction price between the license and customer support performance obligations usingthe residual approach because we have determined that the SSP for licenses in these arrangements are highly variable. We use the residual approach only forour license arrangements. When the SSP is observable but contractual pricing does not fall within our established SSP range, then an adjustment is requiredand we will allocate the transaction price between license and customer support at a constant ratio reflecting the mid-point of the established SSP range.When two or more contracts are entered into at or near the same time with the same customer, we evaluate the facts and circumstances associated with thenegotiation of those contracts. Where the contracts are negotiated as a package, we will account for them as a single arrangement and allocate theconsideration for the combined contracts among the performance obligations accordingly.

Sales to resellersWe execute certain sales contracts through resellers, distributors and channel partners (collectively referred to as resellers). For these type of agreements, we

assess whether we are considered the principal or the agent in the arrangement. We consider factors such as, but not limited to, whether or not the reseller has theability to set the price for which they sell our software products to end users and whether or not resellers distribution rights are limited such that any potential salesare subject to OpenText’s review and approval before delivery of the software product can be made. If we determine that we are the principal in the arrangement,then revenue is recognized based on the transaction price for the sale of the software product to the end user at the gross amount. If that is not known, then the netamount received from the reseller is the transaction price. If we determine that we are the agent in the agreement, then revenue is recognized based on thetransaction price for the sale of the software product to the reseller, less any applicable commissions paid or discounts or rebates, if offered. Costs or commissionspaid to the reseller would be recognized as a reduction of revenue unless we received a distinct good or service in return. Similarly, any discounts or rebatesoffered by the reseller would be recognized as a reduction of revenue.

Typically, we conclude that we are the principal in our reseller agreements, as we have control over the service and products prior to being transferred to theend customer.

We also assess the creditworthiness of each reseller and if they are newly formed, undercapitalized or in financial difficulty, we defer any revenues expectedto emanate from such reseller and recognize revenue only when cash is received, and all other revenue recognition criteria under Topic 606 are met.

Rights of return and other incentivesWe do not generally offer rights of return or any other incentives such as concessions, product rotation, or price protection and, therefore, do not provide for

or make estimates of rights of return and similar incentives. However, we do offer consumers who purchase certain of our products on-line directly from us anunconditional full 70-days money-back guarantee. Distributors and resellers are also permitted to return the consumer products, subject to certain limitations.Revenue is reduced for such rights based on the estimate of future returns originating from contractual agreements with these customers.

Additionally, in some contracts, however, discounts may be offered to the customer for future software purchases and other additional products or services.Such arrangements grant the customer an option to acquire additional goods or services in the future at a discount and therefore are evaluated under guidancerelated to “material rights” as discussed above.

Other policiesPayment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days of the invoice date. In

certain arrangements, we will receive payment from a customer either before or after the performance obligation to which the invoice relates has been satisfied. Asa practical expedient, we do not account for significant financing components if the period between when we transfer the promised good or service to the customerand when the customer pays for the product or service will be one year or less. On that basis, our contracts for license and maintenance typically do not contain asignificant financing component, however, in determining the transaction price we consider whether we need to adjust the promised consideration for the effects ofthe time value of money if the timing of payments provides either the customer or OpenText with a significant benefit of financing. Our managed servicescontracts may not include an upfront charge for outsourced professional services performed as part of an implementation and are recovered through an ongoing fee.Therefore, these contracts may be expected to have a financing component associated with revenue being recognized in advance of billings.

We may modify contracts to offer customers additional products or services. The additional products and services will be considered distinct from thoseproducts or services transferred to the customer before the modification and will be accounted for as a separate contract. We evaluate whether the price for theadditional products and services reflects the SSP adjusted as appropriate for facts and circumstances applicable to that contract. In determining whether anadjustment is appropriate, we evaluate whether the incremental consideration is consistent with the prices previously paid by the customer or similar customers.

Certain of our subscription services and product support arrangements generally contain performance response time guarantees. For subscription servicesarrangements, we estimate variable consideration using a portfolio approach because performance penalties are tied to standard response time requirements. Forproduct support arrangements, we estimate variable consideration on a contract basis because such arrangements are customer-specific. For both subscriptionservices and product support arrangements, we use an expected value approach to estimate variable consideration based on historical business practices and currentand future performance expectations to determine the likelihood of incurring penalties.

Contract BalancesA contract asset will be recorded if we have recognized revenue but do not have an unconditional right to the related consideration from the customer. For

example, this will be the case if implementation services offered in a cloud arrangement are identified as a separate performance obligation and are provided to acustomer prior to us being able to bill the customer. In addition, a contract asset may arise in relation to subscription licenses if the license revenue that isrecognized upfront exceeds the amount that we are able to invoice the customer at that time. Contract assets are reclassified to accounts receivable when the rightsbecome unconditional.

The balance for our contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e. deferred revenues) for the periods indicated below were as follows:

As of December 31, 2019 As of June 30, 2019

Short-term contract assets $ 22,794 $ 20,956Long-term contract assets $ 17,975 $ 15,386Short-term deferred revenue $ 718,861 $ 641,656Long-term deferred revenue $ 77,335 $ 46,974

The difference in the opening and closing balances of our contract assets and deferred revenues primarily results from the timing difference between ourperformance and the customer’s payments. We fulfill our obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products and services in exchange forconsideration from the customer. During the six months ended December 31, 2019, we reclassified $13.3 million of contract assets to receivables as a result of theright to the transaction consideration becoming unconditional. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, respectively, there was no significantimpairment loss recognized related to contract assets.

We recognize deferred revenue when we have received consideration or an amount of consideration is due from the customer for future obligations totransfer products or services. Our deferred revenues primarily relate to customer support agreements which have been paid for by customers prior to theperformance of those services. The amount of revenue that was recognized during the six months ended December 31, 2019 that was included in the deferredrevenue balances at June 30, 2019 was approximately $491 million.

Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract with a CustomerIncremental costs of obtaining a contract include only those costs that we incur to obtain a contract that we would not have incurred if the contract had not

been obtained, such as sales commissions. We have determined that certain of our commission programs meet the requirements to be capitalized. Somecommission programs are not subject to capitalization as the commission expense is paid and recognized as the related revenue is recognized. In assessing costs toobtain a contract, we apply a practical expedient that allows us to assess our incremental costs on a portfolio of contracts with similar characteristics instead ofassessing the incremental costs on each individual contract. We do not expect the financial statement effects of applying this practical expedient to the portfolio ofcontracts to be materially different than if we were to apply the new standard to each individual contract.

We pay commissions on the sale of new customer contracts as well as for renewals of existing contracts to the extent the renewals generate incrementalrevenue. Commissions paid on renewal contracts are limited to the incremental new revenue and therefore these payments are not commensurate with thecommission paid on the original sale. We allocate commission costs to the performance obligations in an arrangement consistent with the allocation of thetransaction price. Commissions allocated to the license performance obligation are expensed at the time the license revenue is recognized. Commissions allocatedto professional service performance obligations are expensed as incurred, as these contracts are generally for one year or less and we apply a practical expedient toexpense costs as incurred if the amortization period would have been one year or less. Commissions allocated to maintenance, managed services, on-going hostingarrangements or other recurring services, are capitalized and amortized consistent with the pattern of transfer to the customer of the services over the periodexpected to benefit from the commission payment. As commissions paid on renewals are not commensurate with the original sale, the period of benefit considersanticipated renewals. The benefit period is estimated to be approximately six years which is based on our customer contracts and the estimated life of ourtechnology.

Expenses for incremental costs associated with obtaining a contract are recorded within sales and marketing expense in the Condensed ConsolidatedStatements of Income.

Our short term capitalized costs to obtain a contract are included in "Prepaid expenses and other assets", while our long-term capitalized costs to obtain acontract are included in "Other assets" on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table summarizes the changes in total capitalized costs since June 30, 2019:

Capitalized costs to obtain a contract as of June 30, 2019 $ 48,284New capitalized costs incurred 10,590Amortization of capitalized costs (7,715)Adjustments on account of foreign exchange (228)

Capitalized costs to obtain a contract as of December 31, 2019 $ 50,931

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, respectively, there was no significant impairment loss recognized in relation to costs capitalized.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance ObligationsAs of December 31, 2019, approximately $1.3 billion of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations on existing contracts.

We expect to recognize approximately 50% of this amount over the next 12 months and the remaining balance thereafter. We apply the practical expedient and donot disclose performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

NOTE 6—LEASESWe enter into operating leases, both domestically and internationally, for certain facilities, automobiles, data centers and equipment for use in the ordinary

course of business. The duration of the majority of these leases generally range from 1 to 10 years, some of which include options to extend for an additional 3 to 5years after the initial term. Additionally, the land upon which our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario Canada is located, is leased from the University of Waterloofor a period of 49 years beginning in December 2005, with an option to renew for an additional term of 49 years. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or lessare not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and we do not have any material finance leases.

We account for a contract as a lease when we have the right to direct the use of the asset for a period of time while obtaining substantially all of the asset’seconomic benefits. We determine the initial classification and measurement of our right of use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement dateand thereafter if modified.

ROU assets represent our right to control the underlying assets under lease, and the lease liability is our obligation to make the lease payments related to theunderlying assets under lease, over the contractual term. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the presentvalue of future minimum lease payments to be made over the lease term. When available, we will use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments topresent value. However, real estate leases generally do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rateto discount the lease payments. We estimate our incremental borrowing rate based on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, in an economicenvironment where the leased asset is located.

The ROU asset equals the lease liability, adjusted for any initial direct costs, prepaid rent and lease incentives. Fixed lease costs are included in therecognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease costs are not included in the measurement of the lease liability. These variable lease payments arerecognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Consistent with previous leaseaccounting rules under ASC Topic 840, lease expense for minimum lease payments continue to be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income on astraight-line basis over the lease term.

We have not elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components in the determination of lease costs for our facility leases. For allother asset classes, we have elected the practical expedient to combine the lease and the non-lease components. The lease liability includes lease payments relatedto options to extend or renew the lease term only if we are reasonably certain we will exercise those options. Our leases typically do not contain any materialresidual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

In certain circumstances, we sublease all or a portion of a leased facility, to various other companies through a sublease agreement.

Deposits and restricted cash primarily relate to security deposits provided to landlords in accordance with facility lease agreements and cash restricted per theterms of certain contractual-based agreements.

Capitalized costs to obtain a contract relate to incremental costs of obtaining a contract, such as sales commissions, which are eligible for capitalization oncontracts to the extent that such costs are expected to be recovered (see note 3 "Revenues").

Investments relate to certain non-marketable equity securities in which we are a limited partner. Our interests in each of these investees range from 4% tobelow 20%. These investments are accounted for using the equity method. Our share of net income or losses based on our interest in these investments is recordedas a component of other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2019,our share of income (loss) from these investments was $1.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, (three and six months ended December 31, 2018 — $5.5 millionand $7.9 million, respectively).

Long-term prepaid expenses and other long-term assets includes advance payments on long-term licenses that are being amortized over the applicable termsof the licenses and other miscellaneous assets.

Senior Unsecured Fixed Rate Notes

Senior Notes 2026On May 31, 2016, we issued $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (Senior Notes 2026) in an unregistered offering to

qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), and to certain persons in offshore transactionspursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Senior Notes 2026 bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 andDecember 1, commencing on December 1, 2016. Senior Notes 2026 will mature on June 1, 2026, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms, orrepurchased.

On December 20, 2016, we issued an additional $250 million in aggregate principal amount by reopening our Senior Notes 2026 at an issue price of102.75%. The additional notes have identical terms, are fungible with and are a part of a single series with the previously issued $600 million aggregate principalamount of Senior Notes 2026. The outstanding aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes 2026, after taking into consideration the additional issuance, is $850million.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, we recorded interest expense of $12.5 million and $25.0 million, respectively, relating to SeniorNotes 2026 (three and six months ended December 31, 2018— $12.5 million and $25.0 million, respectively).

Senior Notes 2023On January 15, 2015, we issued $800 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (Senior Notes 2023) in an unregistered

offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to certain persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation Sunder the Securities Act. Senior Notes 2023 bear interest at a

rate of 5.625% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15, commencing on July 15, 2015. Senior Notes 2023 will mature on January15, 2023, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms, or repurchased.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, we recorded interest expense of $11.2 million and $22.5 million, respectively, relating to SeniorNotes 2023 (three and six months ended December 31, 2018— $11.2 million and $22.5 million, respectively).

Notes due 2022As part of our acquisition of Carbonite, our consolidated debt reflects $143.8 million of principal debt convertible notes (Notes due 2022). Notes due 2022

were originally issued by Carbonite, on April 4, 2017, in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.The Notes due 2022 were issued under an Indenture (the 2022 Notes Indenture) between Carbonite and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the 2022 NotesTrustee). The Notes due 2022 accrue interest at 2.5% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The Notes due 2022 willmature on April 1, 2022, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Carbonite, now a subsidiary of OpenText, remains the sole obligor on the Notes due2022.

In connection with our acquisition of Carbonite, and as required by the 2022 Notes Indenture, Carbonite and the 2022 Notes Trustee entered into a firstsupplemental indenture, dated as of December 24, 2019 (the 2022 Notes Supplemental Indenture). The 2022 Notes Supplemental Indenture provides that, at andafter the effective time of our acquisition of Carbonite, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes due 2022 was changed into the right toconvert such principal amount of the Notes due 2022 solely into cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate (as defined in the 2022 Notes Indenture) in effecton the Conversion Date (as defined in the 2022 Notes Indenture) multiplied by $23.00, which was the price per share we paid in connection with our acquisition ofCarbonite.

As a result of our acquisition of Carbonite, the Conversion Rate for the Notes due 2022 was temporarily increased by 7.7633 per $1,000 principal amount ofNotes due 2022 to yield a Conversion Rate of 46.4667 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes due 2022. The increased Conversion Rate will remain in effect untilthe close of business (5:00 P.M. New York City time) on February 27, 2020. During the period between our acquisition of Carbonite and that date, each $1,000principal amount of Notes due 2022 surrendered for conversion will be converted into $1,068.7341 in cash.

Term Loan BOn May 30, 2018, we refinanced our existing term loan facility, by entering into a new $1 billion term loan facility (Term Loan B), whereby we borrowed $1

billion on that day and repaid in full the loans under our prior $800 million term loan facility originally entered into on January 16, 2014. Borrowings under TermLoan B are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets on a pari passu basis with the Revolver (defined below).

Term Loan B has a seven year term, maturing in May 2025, and repayments made under Term Loan B are equal to 0.25% of the principal amount in equalquarterly installments for the life of Term Loan B, with the remainder due at maturity. Borrowings under Term Loan B currently bear a floating rate of interestequal to 1.75% plus LIBOR. As of December 31, 2019, the outstanding balance on the Term Loan B bears an interest rate of approximately 3.45%.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, we recorded interest expense of $9.0 million and $19.1 million, respectively, relating to Term LoanB (three and six months ended December 31, 2018—$10.3 million and $20.1 million).

RevolverOn October 31, 2019, we amended our committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver) to increase the total commitments under the Revolver from $450

million to $750 million as well as to extend the maturity from May 5, 2022 to October 31, 2024. Borrowings under the Revolver are secured by a first charge oversubstantially all of our assets, on a pari passu basis with Term Loan B. The Revolver has no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. Borrowings underthe Revolver bear interest per annum at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a fixed margin dependent on our consolidated net leverage ratio ranging from 1.25% to1.75%. As of December 31, 2019, the outstanding balance on the Revolver bears an interest rate of approximately 3.29%.

During the three months ended December 31, 2019 we drew down $750 million from the Revolver to partially fund the acquisition of Carbonite. As ofDecember 31, 2019, the full amount drawn remained outstanding (June 30, 2019—nil). During the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, we recordedinterest expense relating to amounts drawn of approximately $0.6 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2018, we had no outstanding balance on the Revolver. There was no activity during the three and six months ended December 31, 2018and we recorded no interest expense.

Debt Issuance Costs and Premium on Senior NotesDebt issuance costs relate primarily to costs incurred for the purpose of obtaining our credit facilities and issuing our Senior Notes 2023 and Senior Notes

2026 (collectively referred to as the Senior Notes) and are being amortized over the respective terms of the Senior Notes and Term Loan B and the Revolver usingthe effective interest method.

The premium on Senior Notes 2026 represents the excess of the proceeds received over the face value of Senior Notes 2026. This premium is amortized as areduction to interest expense over the term of Senior Notes 2026 using the effective interest method.

Defined Benefit Plans

CDT PlanCDT sponsors an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all CDT employees (CDT plan) which provides for old age, disability and

survivors’ benefits. Benefits under the CDT plan are generally based on age at retirement, years of service and the employee’s annual earnings. The net periodiccost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rateand estimated service costs. No contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the projected benefitobligation are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan's activeemployees. As of December 31, 2019, there is approximately $0.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the CDT plan that is expected tobe recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remainder of Fiscal 2020.

GXS GER PlanAs part of our acquisition of GXS Group, Inc. (GXS) in Fiscal 2014, we assumed an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering certain German

employees which provides for old age, disability and survivors' benefits. The GXS GER plan has been closed to new participants since 2006. Benefits under theGXS GER plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, date of hire, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of thispension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the

discount rate and estimated service costs. No contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of theprojected benefit obligation are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of theplan’s active employees. As of December 31, 2019, there is approximately $0.1 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the GXS GER planthat is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remainder of Fiscal 2020.

GXS PHP PlanAs part of our acquisition of GXS in Fiscal 2014, we assumed a primarily unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of the GXS

Philippines employees which provides for retirement, disability and survivors' benefits. Benefits under the GXS PHP plan are generally based on a participant’sremuneration, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method andseveral actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. Aside from an initial contribution which has a fairvalue of approximately $0.03 million as of December 31, 2019, no additional contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains orlosses in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the averageremaining service period of the plan’s active employees. As of December 31, 2019, there is approximately $0.1 million in accumulated other comprehensiveincome related to the GXS PHP plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the remainder of Fiscal 2020.

We estimate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or, where appropriate, the Monte Carlo Valuation Method,consistent with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation" (Topic 718) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The option-pricing models require input of subjective assumptions, including the estimated life of the option and the expected volatility of the underlying stock over theestimated life of the option. We use historical volatility as a basis for projecting the expected volatility of the underlying stock and estimate the expected life of ourstock options based upon historical data.

We believe that the valuation techniques and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair value of ourstock option grants. Estimates of fair value are not intended, however, to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receiveequity awards.

For the periods indicated, the weighted-average fair value of options and weighted-average assumptions were as follows:

As of December 31, 2019, the total compensation cost related to the unvested stock option awards not yet recognized was approximately $24.5 million,which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.9 years.

No cash was used by us to settle equity instruments granted under share-based compensation arrangements in any of the periods presented.We have not capitalized any share-based compensation costs as part of the cost of an asset in any of the periods presented.For the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, cash in the amount of $6.8 million and $11.4 million, respectively, was received as the result of the

exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three and six months ended December 31, 2019from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2018, cash in the amount of $1.8 million and $14.2 million, respectively, was received as the result of theexercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements.

Long-Term Incentive PlansWe incentivize certain eligible employees, in part, with long-term compensation pursuant to our LTIP. The LTIP is a rolling three year program that grants

eligible employees a certain number of target Performance Share Units (PSUs) and/or Restricted Share Units (RSUs). Target PSUs become vested upon theachievement of certain financial and/or operational performance criteria (the Performance Conditions) that are determined at the time of the grant. Target RSUsbecome vested when an eligible employee remains employed throughout the vesting period.

PSUs and RSUs granted under the LTIPs have been measured at fair value as of the effective date, consistent with Topic 718, and will be charged to share-based compensation expense over the remaining life of the plan. Stock options granted under the LTIPs have been measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, consistent with Topic 718. We estimate the fair value of PSUs using the Monte Carlo pricing model and RSUs have been valued based upon theirgrant date fair value.

As of December 31, 2019, the total expected compensation cost related to the unvested LTIP awards not yet recognized was $24.1 million, which is expectedto be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

LTIP grants that have recently vested, or have yet to vest, are described below. LTIP grants are referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q based uponthe year in which the grants are expected to vest.

on August 14, 2016. We settled the Fiscal 2019 LTIP awards by issuing 255,502 Common Shares from treasury stock during the three months ended December 31,2019, with a cost of $9.1 million.

Fiscal 2020 LTIPGrants made in Fiscal 2018 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2020 LTIP), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2018 starting

on August 7, 2017. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. The RSUs are employee service-based awardsand vest over the life of the Fiscal 2020 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2020 LTIP awards in stock.

Fiscal 2021 LTIPGrants made in Fiscal 2019 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2021 LTIP), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2019 starting

Fiscal 2022 LTIPGrants made in Fiscal 2020 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2022 LTIP), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2020 starting

on August 5, 2019. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. The RSUs are employee service-based awardsand vest over the life of the Fiscal 2022 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2022 LTIP awards in stock.

Restricted Share Units (RSUs)During the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, we did not grant any RSUs to employees in accordance with employment and other non-LTIP

related agreements (three and six months ended December 31, 2018—nil). RSUs vest over a specified contract date, typically three years from the respective dateof grants. We expect to settle RSU awards in stock.

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, we did not issue any Common Shares from treasury stock in connection with the settlement ofvested RSUs (three and six months ended December 31, 2018—5,826 and 8,794 Common Shares, respectively, with a cost of $0.2 million and $0.3 million,respectively).

Deferred Stock Units (DSUs)During the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, we granted 70,609 and 74,408 DSUs, respectively, to certain non-employee directors (three and

six months ended December 31, 2018—90,184 and 93,342 DSUs, respectively). The DSUs were issued under our Deferred Share Unit Plan. DSUs granted ascompensation for director fees vest immediately, whereas all other DSUs granted vest at our next annual general meeting following the granting of the DSUs. NoDSUs are payable by us until the director ceases to be a member of the Board.

Such agreements have not had a material effect on our results of operations, financialposition or cash flows.

LitigationWe are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.Quarterly, we review the status of each significant legal matter and evaluate such matters to determine how they should be treated for accounting and

disclosure purposes in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450-20 "Loss Contingencies" (Topic 450-20). Specifically, this evaluation process includesthe centralized tracking and itemization of the status of all our disputes and litigation items, discussing the nature of any litigation and claim, including any disputeor claim that is reasonably likely to result in litigation, with relevant internal and external counsel, and assessing the progress of each matter in light of its meritsand our experience with similar proceedings under similar circumstances.

If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for theestimated loss in accordance with Topic 450-20. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the aggregate of such accrued liabilities was not material toour consolidated financial position or results of operations and we do not believe as of the date of this filing that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding theamounts already recognized will be incurred that would be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations. As described more fully below,we are unable at this time to estimate a possible loss or range of losses in respect of certain disclosed matters.

Contingencies

IRS MatterAs we have previously disclosed, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is examining certain of our tax returns for our fiscal year ended June 30,

2010 (Fiscal 2010) through our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 (Fiscal 2012), and in connection with those examinations is reviewing our internal reorganizationin Fiscal 2010 to consolidate certain intellectual property ownership in Luxembourg and Canada and our integration of certain acquisitions into the resultingstructure. We also previously disclosed that the examinations may lead to proposed adjustments to our taxes that may be material, individually or in the aggregate,and that we have not recorded any material accruals for any such potential adjustments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We previously disclosed that, as part of these examinations, on July 17, 2015 we received from the IRS an initial Notice of Proposed Adjustment (NOPA) indraft form, that, as revised by the IRS on July 11, 2018 proposes a one-time approximately $335 million increase to our U.S. federal taxes arising from thereorganization in Fiscal 2010 (the 2010 NOPA), plus penalties equal to 20% of the additional proposed taxes for Fiscal 2010, and interest at the applicablestatutory rate published by the IRS.

On July 11, 2018, we also received, consistent with previously disclosed expectations, a draft NOPA proposing a one time approximately $80 millionincrease to our U.S. federal taxes for Fiscal 2012 (the 2012 NOPA) arising from the integration of Global 360 Holding Corp. into the structure that resulted fromthe internal reorganization in Fiscal 2010, plus penalties equal to 40% of the additional proposed taxes for Fiscal 2012, and interest.

On January 7, 2019, we received from the IRS official notification of proposed adjustments to our taxable income for Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2012, togetherwith the 2010 NOPA and 2012 NOPA in final form. In each case, such documentation was as expected and on substantially the same terms as provided for in thepreviously disclosed respective draft NOPAs, with the exception of an additional proposed penalty as part of the 2012 NOPA.

A NOPA is an IRS position and does not impose an obligation to pay tax. We continue to strongly disagree with the IRS’ positions within the NOPAs and weare vigorously contesting the proposed adjustments to our taxable income, along with any proposed penalties and interest.

As of our receipt of the final 2010 NOPA and 2012 NOPA, our estimated potential aggregate liability, as proposed by the IRS, including additional stateincome taxes plus penalties and interest that may be due, was approximately $770 million, comprised of approximately $455 million in U.S. federal and state taxes,approximately $130 million of penalties, and approximately $185 million of interest. Interest will continue to accrue at the applicable statutory rates until thematter is resolved and may be substantial.

As previously disclosed and noted above, we strongly disagree with the IRS’ positions and we are vigorously contesting the proposed adjustments to ourtaxable income, along with the proposed penalties and interest. We are examining various alternatives available to taxpayers to contest the proposed adjustments,including through IRS Appeals and U.S. Federal court. Any such alternatives could involve a lengthy process and result in the incurrence of significant expenses.As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not recorded any material accruals in respect of these examinations in our Condensed ConsolidatedFinancial Statements. An adverse outcome of these tax examinations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

For additional information regarding the history of this IRS matter, please see Note 13 "Guarantees and Contingencies" in our Annual Report on Form 10-Kfor Fiscal 2018.

CRA MatterAs part of its ongoing audit of our Canadian tax returns, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has disputed our transfer pricing methodology used for certain

intercompany transactions with our international subsidiaries and has issued notices of reassessment for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014. Assuming theutilization of available tax attributes (further described below), we estimate our potential aggregate liability, as of December 31, 2019, in connection with theCRA's reassessments for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014 to be limited to penalties and interest that may be due of approximately $25 million.

The notices of reassessment for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014 would, as drafted, increase our taxable income by approximately $90 million to$100 million for each of those years, as well as impose a 10% penalty on the proposed adjustment to income.

We strongly disagree with the CRA's positions and believe the reassessments of Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014 (including any penalties) arewithout merit. We have filed notices of objection for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014, and we are currently seeking competent authority considerationunder applicable international treaties in respect of these reassessments.

31

Page 35: OPEN TEXT CORP ORATION · 2020. 1. 30. · Provision for (recovery of) income taxes (note 15) 46,818 36,236 69,909 66,086 Net income for the period $ 107,518 $ 104,461 $ 181,945 $

Even if we are unsuccessful in challenging the CRA's reassessments to increase our taxable income for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014, or potentialreassessments that may be proposed for subsequent years currently under audit, we have elective deductions available for those years (including carry-backs fromlater years) that would offset such increased amounts so that no additional cash tax would be payable, exclusive of any assessed penalties and interest, as describedabove.

We will continue to vigorously contest the proposed adjustments to our taxable income and any penalty and interest assessments. As of the date of thisQuarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not recorded any accruals in respect of these reassessments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Auditsby the CRA of our tax returns for fiscal years prior to Fiscal 2012 have been completed with no reassessment of our income tax liability in respect of ourinternational transactions, including the transfer pricing methodology applied to them. The CRA is currently auditing Fiscal 2015, Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2017 andhave proposed to reassess Fiscal 2015 in a manner consistent with Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014. We are engaged in ongoing discussions with the CRAand continue to vigorously contest the CRA's audit positions.

GXS India MatterOur Indian subsidiary, GXS India Technology Centre Private Limited (GXS India), is subject to potential assessments by Indian tax authorities in the city of

Bangalore. GXS India has received assessment orders from the Indian tax authorities alleging that the transfer price applied to intercompany transactions was notappropriate. Based on advice from our tax advisors, we believe that the facts that the Indian tax authorities are using to support their assessment are incorrect. Wehave filed appeals and anticipate an eventual settlement with the Indian tax authorities. We have accrued $1.3 million to cover our anticipated financial exposure inthis matter.

Carbonite Class Action ComplaintOn August 1, 2019, prior to our acquisition of Carbonite, a purported stockholder of Carbonite filed a putative class action complaint against Carbonite, its

former Chief Executive Officer, Mohamad S. Ali, and its former Chief Financial Officer, Anthony Folger, in the United States District Court for the District ofMassachusetts captioned Ruben A. Luna, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Carbonite, Inc., Mohamad S. Ali, and Anthony Folger (No.1:19-cv-11662-LTS). The complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, asamended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint generally alleges that the defendants made materially false and misleading statements inconnection with Carbonite’s Server Backup VM Edition, and seeks, among other things, the designation of the action as a class action, an award of unspecifiedcompensatory damages, costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees, and other relief as the court deems appropriate. On August 23, 2019, a nearlyidentical complaint was filed in the same court captioned William Feng, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Carbonite, Inc., MohamadS. Ali, and Anthony Folger (No. 1:19- cv-11808-LTS) (together with the Luna Complaint, the “Securities Actions”). On November 21, 2019, the courtconsolidated the Securities Actions, appointed a lead plaintiff, and designated a lead counsel. On January 15, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amendedcomplaint generally making the same allegations and seeking the same relief as the complaint filed on August 1, 2019. The defendants' answer or responsivepleading is due by March 10, 2020. In light of, among other things, the early stage of the litigation, we are unable to predict the outcome of this action and areunable to reasonably estimate the amount or range of loss, if any, that could result from this proceeding.

Carbonite vs Realtime DataOn February 27, 2017, prior to our acquisition of Carbonite, a non-practicing entity named Realtime Data LLC (“Realtime Data”) filed a lawsuit against

Carbonite in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas "Realtime Data LLC v. Carbonite, Inc. et al (No 6:17-cv-00121-RWS-JDL)", alleging thatcertain of Carbonite’s cloud storage services infringe upon certain patents held by Realtime Data. Realtime Data’s complaint against Carbonite sought damages inan unspecified amount and injunctive relief. On December 19, 2017, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas transferred the case to the U.S DistrictCourt for the District of Massachusetts (No. 1:17-cv-12499). Realtime Data has also filed numerous other patent suits on the asserted patents against othercompanies around the country. In one of those suits, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, the Delaware Court on July 29, 2019 dismissed thelawsuit after declaring invalid three of the four patents asserted by Realtime Data against Carbonite. By way of Order dated August 19, 2019, the U.S. DistrictCourt for the District of Massachusetts stayed the action against Carbonite pending appeal of the dismissal in the Delaware lawsuit. As to the fourth patent, theU.S. Patent & Trademark Office Patent Trial and Appeal Board on September 24, 2019 invalidated certain claims of that patent. No trial date has been set in theaction against Carbonite. The Company is defending Carbonite vigorously. We have not accrued a loss contingency related to this matter because litigation relatedto a non-practicing entity is inherently unpredictable. Although a loss is reasonably possible, an unfavorable outcome is not considered by management to beprobable at this time and we remain unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of loss associated with this litigation.

Please also see "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2019.

NOTE 15—INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate represents the net effect of the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions that are subject to a wide range of income tax rates.The effective tax rate increased to a provision of 30.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to 25.8% for the three months ended

December 31, 2018. The increase in tax expense of $10.6 million was primarily due to (i) an increase of $16.8 million relating mainly to a one-time reversal ofaccruals for repatriations from subsidiaries in the United States in Fiscal 2019 that did not recur in Fiscal 2020, (ii) an increase in tax filings in excess of estimatesof $6.0 million and (iii) an increase in net income taxed at foreign rates of $3.3 million. These were partially offset by (i) a decrease of $11.6 million in reserves forunrecognized tax benefits resulting from clarifications provided by tax regulations and taxation years becoming statute barred and (ii) a decrease of $4.5 millionrelated to tax costs of internal reorganizations that did not recur in Fiscal 2020. The remainder of the difference was due to normal course movements and non-material items.

The effective tax rate decreased to a provision of 27.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2019, compared to 31.9% for the six months endedDecember 31, 2018. Tax expense increased by $3.8 million primarily due to (i) the increase in net income taxed at foreign rates of $11.8 million, (ii) an increase of$14.9 million relating to a one-time reversal of accruals for repatriations from subsidiaries in the United States in Fiscal 2019 that did not recur in Fiscal 2020 and(iii) an increase in tax filing in excess of estimates of $7.3 million. These were partially offset by (i) a decrease of $22.4 million in reserves for unrecognized taxbenefit resulting from clarifications provided by tax regulations and taxation years becoming statute barred and (ii) a decrease of $7.9 million relating to the taximpact of internal reorganizations of subsidiaries that did not reoccur Fiscal 2020. The remainder of the difference was due to normal course movements and non-material items.

We recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2019 and2018, we recognized the following amounts as income tax-related interest expense and penalties:

Three Months Ended December 31, Six Months Ended December 31,

2019 2018 2019 2018

Interest expense (recoveries) $ 2,652 $ 1,570 $ 1,234 $ 4,607Penalties expense (recoveries) (156) 67 75 559

Total $ 2,496 $ 1,637 $ 1,309 $ 5,166

The following amounts have been accrued on account of income tax-related interest expense and penalties:

As of December 31, 2019 As of June 30, 2019Interest expense accrued * $ 65,870 $ 64,530Penalties accrued * $ 2,526 $ 2,525

* These balances are primarily included within "Long-term income taxes payable" within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.We believe that it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits, as of December 31, 2019, could decrease tax expense in the next 12 months

by $7.1 million, relating primarily to the expiration of competent authority relief and tax years becoming statute barred for purposes of future tax examinations bylocal taxing jurisdictions.

Our four most significant tax jurisdictions are Canada, the United States, Luxembourg and Germany. Our tax filings remain subject to audits by applicabletax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. The earliest fiscal years open for examination are 2012 for Germany,2010 for the United States, 2012 for Luxembourg, and 2012 for Canada.

We are subject to tax audits in all major taxing jurisdictions in which we operate and currently have tax audits open in Canada, the United States, Germany,India, and the United Kingdom. On a quarterly basis we assess the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse outcomes to determine the adequacyof the provision for income and other taxes. Statements regarding the United States and Canada audits are included in note 14 "Guarantees and Contingencies".

The timing of the resolution of income tax audits is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by thetaxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued. It is reasonably possible that

33

Page 37: OPEN TEXT CORP ORATION · 2020. 1. 30. · Provision for (recovery of) income taxes (note 15) 46,818 36,236 69,909 66,086 Net income for the period $ 107,518 $ 104,461 $ 181,945 $

within the next 12 months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities or possibly reach resolution of income tax audits in one or morejurisdictions. These assessments or settlements may or may not result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on tax filings. The actual amount of anychange could vary significantly depending on the ultimate timing and nature of any settlements. We cannot currently provide an estimate of the range of possibleoutcomes. For more information relating to certain tax audits, please refer to note 14 "Guarantees and Contingencies".

As at December 31, 2019, we have recognized a provision of $19.3 million (June 30, 2019—$17.4 million) in respect of both additional foreign taxes ordeferred income tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the undistributed earnings of certain non-United States subsidiaries and planned periodicrepatriations from certain German subsidiaries, that will be subject to withholding taxes upon distribution. We have not provided for additional foreign withholdingtaxes or deferred income tax liabilities related to undistributed earnings of all other non-Canadian subsidiaries, since such earnings are considered permanentlyinvested in those subsidiaries or are not subject to withholding taxes. It is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amount of additional deferred income taxliabilities or foreign withholding taxes that may be payable should these earnings be distributed in the future.

NOTE 16—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (Topic 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and addresses disclosurerequirements for fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderlytransaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value, in thiscontext, should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. Inaddition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including our own credit risk.

In addition to defining fair value and addressing disclosure requirements, Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchyprioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement isreported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

• Level 1—inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.• Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that

are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated byobservable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

• Level 3—inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing theasset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models,and similar techniques.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following types of instruments as of December 31, 2019 and

from or corroborated by observable market data, as no quoted market prices exist for these instruments. Our discounted cash flow techniques use observablemarket inputs, such as, where applicable, foreign currency spot and forward rates.

Our cash and cash equivalents, along with our accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances, are measured and recognized in ourCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements at an amount that approximates their fair value (a Level 2 measurement) due to their short maturities.

If applicable, we will recognize transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the actual event or changein circumstance occurs. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we did not have any transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring BasisWe measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value when they are deemed

to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, no indications of impairment were identified andtherefore no fair value measurements were required.

NOTE 17—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Foreign Currency Forward ContractsWe are engaged in hedging programs with various banks to limit the potential foreign exchange fluctuations incurred on future cash flows relating to a

portion of our Canadian dollar payroll expenses. We operate internationally and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normalcourse of our business, in particular to changes in the Canadian dollar on account of large costs that are incurred from our centralized Canadian operations, whichare denominated in Canadian dollars. As part of our risk management strategy, we use foreign currency forward contracts to hedge portions of our payroll exposurewith typical maturities of between one and twelve months. We do not use foreign currency forward contracts for speculative purposes.

We have designated these transactions as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions under ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (Topic 815). As thecritical terms of the hedging instrument and of the entire hedged forecasted transaction are the same, in accordance with Topic 815, we have been able to concludethat changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged are expected to completely offset at inception and on an ongoing basis. Accordingly,quarterly unrealized gains or losses on the effective portion of these forward contracts have been included within other comprehensive income. The fair value ofthe contracts, as of December 31, 2019, is recorded within "Prepaid expenses and other current assets".

As of December 31, 2019, the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was $64.0 million (June 30,2019—$62.0 million).

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments and Effect of Derivative Instruments on Financial PerformanceThe effect of these derivative instruments on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods indicated below were as follows (amounts

presented do not include any income tax effects).

Fiscal 2019 Restructuring PlanDuring Fiscal 2019, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (Fiscal 2019 Restructuring Plan), including in connection

with our acquisitions of Catalyst Repository Systems Inc. (Catalyst) and Liaison Technologies, Inc. (Liaison), to take further steps to improve our operationalefficiency. The Fiscal 2019 Restructuring Plan charges relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations. These charges require management to makecertain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to itsrecognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expensesand revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

Since the inception of the plan, approximately $30.0 million has been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date. We do not expect to incur anyfurther significant charges relating to this plan.

Total consideration for Carbonite was approximately $1.4 billion, comprised of$1.3 billion paid in cash (inclusive of cash acquired) and approximately $0.1 billion currently held back and unpaid in accordance with the purchase agreement.We believe the acquisition will increase our position in the data protection and endpoint security space, further strengthen our cloud capabilities and open a newroute to connect with customers through Carbonite's marquee SMB and consumer channels and products. The results of operations of Carbonite have beenconsolidated with those of OpenText beginning December 24, 2019.

held back and unpaid in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. The results of operations of The Fax Guys have been consolidated with those ofOpenText beginning December 2, 2019.

We believe our acquisitions support our long-term strategic direction, strengthen our competitive position, expand our customer base, provide greater scale toaccelerate innovation, grow our earnings and provide superior shareholder value. We expect to continue to strategically acquire companies, products, services andtechnologies to augment our existing business. Our acquisitions, particularly significant ones, can affect the period-to-period comparability of our results. See note19 "Acquisitions" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

through our direct and indirect sales distribution channels. With an emphasis on improving productivity, increasing recurring revenues and expanding our margins,we believe our “Total Growth” strategy will ultimately drive overall cash flow generation, thus helping to fuel our disciplined capital allocation approach andfurther drive our ability to deepen our account coverage and identify and execute strategic acquisitions. With strategic acquisitions, we are better positioned toexpand our product portfolio and improve our ability to innovate and grow organically, which then further helps us to meet our long-term growth targets. Webelieve this “Total Growth” strategy is a durable model that will create shareholder value over both the near and long-term.

We are committed to continuous innovation. Our investments in research and development (R&D) drive product innovation, increasing the value of ourofferings to our installed customer base, which includes Global 10,000 companies, SMBs and consumers. More valuable products, coupled with our establishedglobal partner program, lead to greater distribution and cross-selling opportunities which further help us to achieve organic growth. On a fiscal year to date basis,we have invested approximately $161 million or approximately 11% of revenue in R&D, in line with our target to spend approximately 11% to 13% of revenuesfor R&D this fiscal year.

The cloud is quickly becoming a business imperative. What used to be discussed as a potential option for managing budgets, is now a strategic direction thatdrives competitive positioning, product innovation, business agility, and cost management. We are committed to continue our investment in The OpenText Cloud,which is a purpose-built cloud environment for solutions spanning Information Management, Compliance, and B2B Integration. Supported by a global, scalable,and secure infrastructure, OpenText Cloud includes a foundational platform of technology services, and packaged business applications for industry and businessprocesses. The OpenText Cloud enables organizations to protect and manage information in public, private or hybrid deployments.

We remain a value oriented and disciplined strategic acquirer, having efficiently deployed approximately $7.5 billion on acquisitions over the last 10 years.Mergers and acquisitions are one of our leading growth drivers. We believe in creating value by focusing on acquiring strategic businesses, integrating them intoour business model and using our acquired assets to innovate. We have developed a philosophy, which we refer to as “The OpenText Business System”, that isdesigned to create value by leveraging a clear set of operational mandates for integrating newly acquired companies and assets. We see our ability to successfullyintegrate acquired companies and assets into our business as a strength and pursuing strategic acquisitions is an important aspect to our Total Growth strategy.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amountsreported in the Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates onhistorical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. Thepolicies listed below are areas that may contain key components of our results of operations and are based on complex rules requiring us to make judgments andestimates and consequently, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Some of these accounting policies involve complex situations and require ahigher degree of judgment, either in the application and interpretation of existing accounting literature or in the development of estimates that affect our financialstatements. The critical accounting policies which we believe are the most important to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial resultsinclude the following:

(i) Revenue recognition,(ii) Goodwill,(iii) Acquired intangibles, and(iv) Income taxes.

For a full discussion of all our accounting policies, please see Note 2 "Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements" to our ConsolidatedFinancial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

The software application resides on our hardware or that of a third party, and the customer accesses and uses the software on an as-neededbasis via an identified line. Our cloud arrangements can be broadly categorized as "platform as a service" (PaaS), "software as a service" (SaaS), cloudsubscriptions and managed services.

Cost of Cloud services and subscriptions revenues is comprised primarily of third party network usage fees, maintenance of in-house data hardware centers,technical support personnel-related costs, and some third party royalty costs.

3) Customer Support:Customer support revenues consist of revenues from our customer support and maintenance agreements. These agreements allow our customers to receive

technical support, enhancements and upgrades to new versions of our software products when and if available. Customer support revenues are generated fromsupport and maintenance relating to current year sales of software products and from the renewal of existing maintenance agreements for software licenses sold inprior periods. Therefore, changes in Customer support revenues do not always correlate directly to the changes in license revenues from period to period. Theterms of support and maintenance agreements are typically twelve months, and are renewable, generally on an annual basis, at the option of the customer. Ourmanagement reviews our Customer support renewal rates on a quarterly basis and we use these rates as a method of monitoring our customer service performance.For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, our Customer support renewal rate was approximately 93%, up slightly compared with the Customer support renewalrate of 91% during the quarter ended December 31, 2018.

Cost of Customer support revenues is comprised primarily of technical support personnel and related costs, as well as third party royalty costs.

4) Professional Service and Other:Professional service and other revenues consist of revenues from consulting contracts and contracts to provide implementation, training and integration

services (professional services). Other revenues consist of hardware revenues, which are grouped within the “Professional service and other” category because theyare relatively immaterial to our service revenues. Professional services are typically performed after the purchase of new software licenses. Professional serviceand other revenues can vary from period to period based on the type of engagements as well as those implementations that are assumed by our partner network.

Cost of professional service and other revenues consists primarily of the costs of providing integration, configuration and training with respect to our varioussoftware products.

Special charges typically relate to amounts that we expect to pay in connection with restructuring plans, acquisition-related costs and other similar chargesand recoveries. Generally, we implement such plans in the context of integrating acquired entities with existing OpenText operations. Actions related to suchrestructuring plans are typically completed within a period of one year. In certain limited situations, if the planned activity does not need to be implemented, or anexpense lower than anticipated is paid out, we record a recovery of the originally recorded expense to Special charges.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresIn addition to reporting financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides certain financial measures that are not in accordance with

U.S. GAAP (Non-GAAP). These Non-GAAP financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not have a standardized meaning and thus the Company'sdefinition may be different from similar Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts and may differ from period to period. Thus it maybe more difficult to compare the Company's financial performance to that of other companies. However, the Company's management compensates for theselimitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of these Non-GAAP financial measures both in its reconciliation to theU.S. GAAP financial measures and its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's results.

The Company uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to supplement the information provided in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, whichare presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be a substitute for financial measures presentedin accordance with U.S. GAAP, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with and as a supplement to such U.S. GAAP measures. OpenText stronglyencourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure. The Company therefore believes that despitethese limitations, it is appropriate to supplement the disclosure of the U.S. GAAP measures with certain Non-GAAP measures defined below.

Non-GAAP-based net income and Non-GAAP-based EPS, attributable to OpenText, is consistently calculated as GAAP-based net income or earnings pershare, attributable to OpenText, on a diluted basis, excluding the effects of the amortization of acquired intangible assets, other income (expense), share-basedcompensation, and Special charges (recoveries), all net of tax and any tax benefits/expense items unrelated to current period income, as further described in thetables below. Non-GAAP-based gross profit is the arithmetical sum of GAAP-based gross profit and the amortization of acquired technology-based intangibleassets and share-based compensation within cost of sales. Non-GAAP-based gross margin is calculated as Non-GAAP-based gross profit expressed as a percentageof total revenue. Non-GAAP-based income from operations is calculated as GAAP-based income from operations, excluding the amortization of acquiredintangible assets, Special charges (recoveries), and share-based compensation expense.

Adjusted earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is consistently calculated as GAAP-based net income,attributable to OpenText excluding interest income (expense), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, other income(expense), share-based compensation and Special charges (recoveries).

The Company's management believes that the presentation of the above defined Non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investorsbecause they portray the financial results of the Company before the impact of certain non-operational charges. The use of the term “non-operational charge” isdefined for this purpose as an expense that does not impact the ongoing operating decisions taken by the Company's management. These items are excluded basedupon the way the Company's management evaluates the performance of the Company's business for use in the Company's internal reports and are not excluded inthe sense that they may be used under U.S. GAAP.

The Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and therefore believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures, which in certain casesadjust for the impact of amortization of intangible assets and the related tax effects that are primarily related to acquisitions, will provide readers of financialstatements with a more consistent basis for comparison across accounting periods and be more useful in helping readers understand the Company’s operatingresults and underlying operational trends. Additionally, the Company has engaged in various restructuring activities over the past several years, primarily due toacquisitions, that have resulted in costs associated with reductions in headcount, consolidation of leased facilities and related costs, all which are recorded under theCompany’s “Special Charges (recoveries)” caption on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Each restructuring activity is a discrete event based on aunique set of business objectives or circumstances, and each differs in terms of its operational implementation, business impact and scope, and the size of eachrestructuring plan can vary significantly from period to period. Therefore, the Company believes that the exclusion of these special charges (recoveries) will alsobetter aid readers of financial statements in the understanding and comparability of the Company's operating results and underlying operational trends.

In summary, the Company believes the provision of supplemental Non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the operational and financialperformance of the Company's core business using the same evaluation measures that management uses, and is therefore a useful indication of OpenText'sperformance or expected performance of future operations and facilitates period-to-period comparison of operating performance (although prior performance is notnecessarily indicative of future performance). As a result, the Company considers it appropriate and reasonable to provide, in addition to U.S. GAAP measures,supplementary Non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items from the presentation of its financial results.

The following charts provide unaudited reconciliations of U.S. GAAP-based financial measures to Non-GAAP-based financial measures for the followingperiods presented.

(1) Adjustment relates to the exclusion of share-based compensation expense from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as this expense is excluded from our internal analysis ofoperating results.

(2) Adjustment relates to the exclusion of amortization expense from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as the timing and frequency of amortization expense is dependent on ouracquisitions and is hence excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.

(3) GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based gross profit stated in dollars and gross margin stated as a percentage of total revenue.(4) Adjustment relates to the exclusion of Special charges (recoveries) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as Special charges (recoveries) are generally incurred in the

periods relevant to an acquisition and include certain charges or recoveries that are not indicative or related to continuing operations, and are therefore excluded from our internalanalysis of operating results. See note 18 "Special Charges (Recoveries)" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

(5) GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based income from operations stated in dollars.(6) Adjustment relates to the exclusion of Other income (expense) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as Other income (expense) generally relates to the transactional impact

of foreign exchange and is generally not indicative or related to continuing operations and is therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results. Other income(expense) also includes our share of income (losses) from our holdings in non-marketable securities investments as a limited partner. We do not actively trade equity securities inthese privately held companies nor do we plan our ongoing operations based around any anticipated fundings or distributions from these investments. We exclude gains and losses onthese investments as we do not believe they are reflective of our ongoing business and operating results.

(7) Adjustment relates to differences between the GAAP-based tax provision rate of approximately 30% and a Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 14%; these rate differencesare due to the income tax effects of items that are excluded for the purpose of calculating Non-GAAP-based adjusted net income. Such excluded items include amortization, share-based compensation, Special charges (recoveries) and other income (expense), net. Also excluded are tax benefits/expense items unrelated to current period income such as changesin reserves for tax uncertainties and valuation allowance reserves, and “book to return” adjustments for tax return filings and tax assessments. Included is the amount of net taxbenefits arising from the internal reorganization that occurred in Fiscal 2017 assumed to be allocable to the current period based on the forecasted utilization period. In arriving at ourNon-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 14%, we analyzed the individual adjusted expenses and took into consideration the impact of statutory tax rates from local jurisdictionsincurring the expense.

Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents primarily consist of balances with banks as well as deposits with original maturities of 90 days or less.We continue to anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents, as well as available credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated cash requirements

for working capital, contractual commitments, capital expenditures, dividends and operating needs for the next twelve months. Any further material or acquisition-related activities may require additional sources of financing and would be subject to the financial covenants established under our credit facilities. For moredetails, see "Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities" below.

As of December 31, 2019, we recognized a provision of $19.3 million (June 30, 2019—$17.4 million) in respect of both additional foreign taxes or deferredincome tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the undistributed earnings of certain non-United States subsidiaries, and planned periodic repatriationsfrom certain United States and German subsidiaries, that will be subject to withholding taxes upon distribution.

Cash flows provided by operating activitiesCash flows from operating activities decreased by $15.8 million due to a decrease in changes from working capital of $69.5 million, partially offset by an

increase in net income before the impact of non-cash items of $53.7 million. The change in operating cash flow from changes in working capital was primarily dueto the net impact of the following decreases: (i) $30.9 million relating to higher accounts receivable balances, (ii) $18.2 million relating to changes in income taxespayable, (iii) $13.0 million relating to an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, (iv) $4.3 million relating to higher contract assets, (v) $3.5 millionrelating to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, (vi) $2.6 million relating to an increase in other assets and (vii) $2.1 million net operating leaseassets and liabilities. These decreases in operating cash flows were partially offset by an increase of $5.1 million relating to deferred revenues.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2020 our days sales outstanding (DSO) was 57 days, compared to a DSO of 59 days during the second quarter of Fiscal2019. The per day impact of our DSO in the second quarter of Fiscal 2020 on our cash flows was $8.5 million before the impact of acquired accounts receivablefrom Carbonite. The per day impact of our DSO in the second quarter of Fiscal 2019 was $8.2 million. In arriving at DSO, we exclude contract assets as theseassets do not provide an unconditional right to the related consideration from the customer.

Cash flows used in investing activitiesOur cash flows used in investing activities is primarily on account of acquisitions and additions of property and equipment.Cash flows used in investing activities increased by $911.1 million, primarily due to an increase in consideration paid for acquisitions during the first half of

Fiscal 2020, which included cash paid for the acquisition of Carbonite of approximately $1.2 billion.

Cash flows used in financing activitiesOur cash flows from financing activities generally consist of long-term debt financing and amounts received from stock options exercised by our employees.

These inflows are typically offset by scheduled and non-scheduled repayments of our long-term debt financing and, when applicable, the payment of dividendsand/or the repurchases of our Common Shares.

Cash flows provided by financing activities increased by $747.9 million. This was primarily due to proceeds from drawings on the Revolver of $750 millionduring the second quarter of Fiscal 2020, which were used, in part, to fund the acquisition of Carbonite.

Cash DividendsDuring the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, we declared and paid cash dividends of $0.1746 and $0.3492 per Common Share, respectively, in

the aggregated amount of $47.1 million and $94.1 million, respectively. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment datesare subject to the final determination and discretion of the Board.

Notes due 2022As part of our acquisition of Carbonite, our consolidated debt reflects $143.8 million of principal debt convertible notes (Notes due 2022). Notes due 2022

were originally issued by Carbonite, on April 4, 2017, in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.The Notes due 2022 were issued under an Indenture (the 2022 Notes Indenture) between Carbonite and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the 2022 NotesTrustee). The Notes due 2022 accrue interest at 2.5% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The Notes due 2022 willmature on April 1, 2022, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Carbonite, now a subsidiary of OpenText, remains the sole obligor on the Notes due2022.

In connection with our acquisition of Carbonite, and as required by the 2022 Notes Indenture, Carbonite and the 2022 Notes Trustee entered into a firstsupplemental indenture, dated as of December 24, 2019 (the 2022 Notes Supplemental Indenture). The 2022 Notes Supplemental Indenture provides that, at andafter the effective time of our acquisition of Carbonite, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes due 2022 was changed into the right toconvert such principal amount of the Notes due 2022 solely into cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate (as defined in the 2022 Notes Indenture) in effecton the Conversion Date (as defined in the 2022 Notes Indenture) multiplied by $23.00, which was the price per share we paid in connection with our acquisition ofCarbonite.

As a result of our acquisition of Carbonite, the Conversion Rate for the Notes due 2022 was temporarily increased by 7.7633 per $1,000 principal amount ofNotes due 2022 to yield a Conversion Rate of 46.4667 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes due 2022. The increased Conversion Rate will remain in effect untilthe close of business (5:00 P.M. New York City

time) on February 27, 2020. During the period between our acquisition of Carbonite and that date, each $1,000 principal amount of Notes due 2022 surrenderedfor conversion will be converted into $1,068.7341 in cash.

Term Loan BOn May 30, 2018, we entered into a credit facility, which provides for a $1 billion term loan facility with certain lenders named therein, Barclays Bank PLC

(Barclays), as sole administrative agent and collateral agent, and as lead arranger and joint bookrunner (Term Loan B) and borrowed the full amount on May 30,2018 to, among other things, repay in full the loans under our prior $800 million term loan credit facility originally entered into on January 16, 2014. Repaymentsmade under Term Loan B are equal to 0.25% of the principal amount in equal quarterly installments for the life of Term Loan B, with the remainder due atmaturity.

Borrowings under Term Loan B are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets on a pari passu basis with the Revolver. Term Loan B has aseven year term, maturing in May 2025.

Borrowings under Term Loan B bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the borrower’s option, either (1) the eurodollar ratefor the interest period relevant to such borrowing or (2) an ABR rate. The applicable margin for borrowings under Term Loan B is 1.75%, with respect to LIBORadvances and 0.75%, with respect to ABR advances. The interest on the current outstanding balance for Term Loan B is equal to 1.75% plus LIBOR (subject to a0.00% floor). As of December 31, 2019, the outstanding balance on the Term Loan B bears an interest rate of approximately 3.45%.

Term Loan B has incremental facility capacity of (i) $250 million plus (ii) additional amounts, subject to meeting a “consolidated senior secured netleverage” ratio not exceeding 2.75:1.00, in each case subject to certain conditions. Consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio is defined for this purpose as theproportion of our total debt reduced by unrestricted cash, including guarantees and letters of credit, that is secured by our or any of our subsidiaries’ assets, overour trailing twelve months net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges.

Under Term Loan B, we must maintain a “consolidated net leverage” ratio of no more than 4:1 at the end of each financial quarter. Consolidated net leverageratio is defined for this purpose as the proportion of our total debt reduced by unrestricted cash, including guarantees and letters of credit, over our trailing twelvemonths net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges. As ofDecember 31, 2019, our consolidated net leverage ratio was 2.3:1.

RevolverOn October 31, 2019, we amended our committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver) to increase the total commitments under the Revolver from $450

million to $750 million as well as to extend the maturity from May 5, 2022 to October 31, 2024. Borrowings under the Revolver are secured by a first charge oversubstantially all of our assets, on a pari passu basis with Term Loan B. The Revolver has no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. Borrowings underthe Revolver bear interest per annum at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a fixed margin dependent on our consolidated net leverage ratio ranging from 1.25% to1.75%. As of December 31, 2019, the outstanding balance on the Revolver bears an interest rate of approximately 3.29%.

During the three months ended December 31, 2019 we drew down $750 million from the Revolver to partially fund the acquisition of Carbonite. As ofDecember 31, 2019, the full amount drawn remains outstanding (June 30, 2019—nil). During the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, we recordedinterest expense relating to amounts drawn of approximately $0.6 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2018, we had no outstanding balance on the Revolver. There was no activity during three and six months ended December 31, 2018 andwe recorded no interest expense.

For further details relating to our debt, please see note 11 "Long-Term Debt" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Shelf Registration Statement

On November 29, 2019, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which became effective automatically (the ShelfRegistration Statement). The Shelf Registration Statement allows for primary and secondary offerings from time to time of equity, debt and other securities,including Common Shares, Preference Shares, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, purchase contracts, units and subscription receipts.

Guarantees and IndemnificationsWe have entered into customer agreements which may include provisions to indemnify our customers against third party claims that our software products or

services infringe certain third party intellectual property rights and for liabilities related to a breach of our confidentiality obligations. We have not made anymaterial payments in relation to such indemnification provisions and have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our CondensedConsolidated Financial Statements.

Occasionally, we enter into financial guarantees with third parties in the ordinary course of our business, including, among others, guarantees relating to taxesand letters of credit on behalf of parties with whom we conduct business. Such agreements have not had a material effect on our results of operations, financialposition or cash flows.

LitigationWe are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.Quarterly, we review the status of each significant legal matter and evaluate such matters to determine how they should be treated for accounting and

disclosure purposes in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450-20 "Loss Contingencies" (Topic 450-20). Specifically, this evaluation process includesthe centralized tracking and itemization of the

Page 75: OPEN TEXT CORP ORATION · 2020. 1. 30. · Provision for (recovery of) income taxes (note 15) 46,818 36,236 69,909 66,086 Net income for the period $ 107,518 $ 104,461 $ 181,945 $

status of all our disputes and litigation items, discussing the nature of any litigation and claim, including any dispute or claim that is reasonably likely to result inlitigation, with relevant internal and external counsel, and assessing the progress of each matter in light of its merits and our experience with similar proceedingsunder similar circumstances.

If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for theestimated loss in accordance with Topic 450-20. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the aggregate of such accrued liabilities was not material toour consolidated financial position or results of operations and we do not believe as of the date of this filing that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding theamounts already recognized will be incurred that would be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations. As more fully described below,we are unable at this time to estimate a possible loss or range of losses in respect of certain disclosed matters.

Contingencies

IRS MatterAs we have previously disclosed, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is examining certain of our tax returns for our fiscal year ended June 30,

2010 (Fiscal 2010) through our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 (Fiscal 2012), and in connection with those examinations is reviewing our internal reorganizationin Fiscal 2010 to consolidate certain intellectual property ownership in Luxembourg and Canada and our integration of certain acquisitions into the resultingstructure. We also previously disclosed that the examinations may lead to proposed adjustments to our taxes that may be material, individually or in the aggregate,and that we have not recorded any material accruals for any such potential adjustments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We previously disclosed that, as part of these examinations, on July 17, 2015 we received from the IRS an initial Notice of Proposed Adjustment (NOPA) indraft form, that, as revised by the IRS on July 11, 2018 proposes a one-time approximately $335 million increase to our U.S. federal taxes arising from thereorganization in Fiscal 2010 (the 2010 NOPA), plus penalties equal to 20% of the additional proposed taxes for Fiscal 2010, and interest at the applicablestatutory rate published by the IRS.

On July 11, 2018, we also received, consistent with previously disclosed expectations, a draft NOPA proposing a one time approximately $80 millionincrease to our U.S. federal taxes for Fiscal 2012 (the 2012 NOPA) arising from the integration of Global 360 Holding Corp. into the structure that resulted fromthe internal reorganization in Fiscal 2010, plus penalties equal to 40% of the additional proposed taxes for Fiscal 2012, and interest.

On January 7, 2019, we received from the IRS official notification of proposed adjustments to our taxable income for Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2012, togetherwith the 2010 NOPA and 2012 NOPA in final form. In each case, such documentation was as expected and on substantially the same terms as provided for in thepreviously disclosed respective draft NOPAs, with the exception of an additional proposed penalty as part of the 2012 NOPA.

A NOPA is an IRS position and does not impose an obligation to pay tax. We continue to strongly disagree with the IRS’ positions within the NOPAs and weare vigorously contesting the proposed adjustments to our taxable income, along with any proposed penalties and interest.

As of our receipt of the final 2010 NOPA and 2012 NOPA, our estimated potential aggregate liability, as proposed by the IRS, including additional stateincome taxes plus penalties and interest that may be due, was approximately $770 million, comprised of approximately $455 million in U.S. federal and state taxes,approximately $130 million of penalties, and approximately $185 million of interest. Interest will continue to accrue at the applicable statutory rates until thematter is resolved and may be substantial.

As previously disclosed and noted above, we strongly disagree with the IRS’ positions and we are vigorously contesting the proposed adjustments to ourtaxable income, along with the proposed penalties and interest. We are examining various alternatives available to taxpayers to contest the proposed adjustments,including through IRS Appeals and U.S. Federal court. Any such alternatives could involve a lengthy process and result in the incurrence of significant expenses.As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not recorded any material accruals in respect of these examinations in our Condensed ConsolidatedFinancial Statements. An adverse outcome of these tax examinations could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

For additional information regarding the history of this IRS matter, please see Note 13 "Guarantees and Contingencies" in our Annual Report on Form 10-Kfor Fiscal 2018.

CRA MatterAs part of its ongoing audit of our Canadian tax returns, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has disputed our transfer pricing methodology used for certain

intercompany transactions with our international subsidiaries and has issued notices of

71

Page 76: OPEN TEXT CORP ORATION · 2020. 1. 30. · Provision for (recovery of) income taxes (note 15) 46,818 36,236 69,909 66,086 Net income for the period $ 107,518 $ 104,461 $ 181,945 $

reassessment for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014. Assuming the utilization of available tax attributes (further described below), we estimate our potentialaggregate liability, as of December 31, 2019, in connection with the CRA's reassessments for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014 to be limited to penaltiesand interest that may be due of approximately $25 million.

The notices of reassessment for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014 would, as drafted, increase our taxable income by approximately $90 million to$100 million for each of those years, as well as impose a 10% penalty on the proposed adjustment to income.

We strongly disagree with the CRA's positions and believe the reassessments of Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014 (including any penalties) arewithout merit. We have filed notices of objection for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014, and we are currently seeking competent authority considerationunder applicable international treaties in respect of these reassessments.

Even if we are unsuccessful in challenging the CRA's reassessments to increase our taxable income for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014, or potentialreassessments that may be proposed for subsequent years currently under audit, we have elective deductions available for those years (including carry-backs fromlater years) that would offset such increased amounts so that no additional cash tax would be payable, exclusive of any assessed penalties and interest, as describedabove.

We will continue to vigorously contest the proposed adjustments to our taxable income and any penalty and interest assessments. As of the date of thisQuarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not recorded any accruals in respect of these reassessments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Auditsby the CRA of our tax returns for fiscal years prior to Fiscal 2012 have been completed with no reassessment of our income tax liability in respect of ourinternational transactions, including the transfer pricing methodology applied to them. The CRA is currently auditing Fiscal 2015, Fiscal 2016 and Fiscal 2017 andhave proposed to reassess Fiscal 2015 in a manner consistent with Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2014. We are engaged in ongoing discussions with the CRAand continue to vigorously contest the CRA's audit positions.

GXS India MatterOur Indian subsidiary, GXS India Technology Centre Private Limited (GXS India), is subject to potential assessments by Indian tax authorities in the city of

Bangalore. GXS India has received assessment orders from the Indian tax authorities alleging that the transfer price applied to intercompany transactions was notappropriate. Based on advice from our tax advisors, we believe that the facts that the Indian tax authorities are using to support their assessment are incorrect. Wehave filed appeals and anticipate an eventual settlement with the Indian tax authorities. We have accrued $1.3 million to cover our anticipated financial exposure inthis matter.

Carbonite Class Action ComplaintOn August 1, 2019, prior to our acquisition of Carbonite, a purported stockholder of Carbonite filed a putative class action complaint against Carbonite, its

former Chief Executive Officer, Mohamad S. Ali, and its former Chief Financial Officer, Anthony Folger, in the United States District Court for the District ofMassachusetts captioned Ruben A. Luna, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Carbonite, Inc., Mohamad S. Ali, and Anthony Folger (No.1:19-cv-11662-LTS). The complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, asamended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint generally alleges that the defendants made materially false and misleading statements inconnection with Carbonite’s Server Backup VM Edition, and seeks, among other things, the designation of the action as a class action, an award of unspecifiedcompensatory damages, costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees, and other relief as the court deems appropriate. On August 23, 2019, a nearlyidentical complaint was filed in the same court captioned William Feng, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Carbonite, Inc., MohamadS. Ali, and Anthony Folger (No. 1:19- cv-11808-LTS) (together with the Luna Complaint, the “Securities Actions”). On November 21, 2019, the courtconsolidated the Securities Actions, appointed a lead plaintiff, and designated a lead counsel. On January 15, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amendedcomplaint generally making the same allegations and seeking the same relief as the complaint filed on August 1, 2019. The defendants' answer or responsivepleading is due by March 10, 2020. In light of, among other things, the early stage of the litigation, we are unable to predict the outcome of this action and areunable to reasonably estimate the amount or range of loss, if any, that could result from this proceeding.

Carbonite vs Realtime DataOn February 27, 2017, prior to our acquisition of Carbonite, a non-practicing entity named Realtime Data LLC (“Realtime Data”) filed a lawsuit against

Carbonite in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas "Realtime Data LLC v. Carbonite, Inc. et al (No 6:17-cv-00121-RWS-JDL)", alleging thatcertain of Carbonite’s cloud storage services infringe upon certain patents held by Realtime Data. Realtime Data’s complaint against Carbonite sought damages inan unspecified

amount and injunctive relief. On December 19, 2017, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas transferred the case to the U.S District Court for theDistrict of Massachusetts (No. 1:17-cv-12499). Realtime Data has also filed numerous other patent suits on the asserted patents against other companies around thecountry. In one of those suits, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, the Delaware Court on July 29, 2019 dismissed the lawsuit afterdeclaring invalid three of the four patents asserted by Realtime Data against Carbonite. By way of Order dated August 19, 2019, the U.S. District Court for theDistrict of Massachusetts stayed the action against Carbonite pending appeal of the dismissal in the Delaware lawsuit. As to the fourth patent, the U.S. Patent &Trademark Office Patent Trial and Appeal Board on September 24, 2019 invalidated certain claims of that patent. No trial date has been set in the action againstCarbonite. The Company is defending Carbonite vigorously. We have not accrued a loss contingency related to this matter because litigation related to a non-practicing entity is inherently unpredictable. Although a loss is reasonably possible, an unfavorable outcome is not considered by management to be probable atthis time and we remain unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of loss associated with this litigation.

Please also see Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsWe do not enter into off-balance sheet financing as a matter of practice, except for guarantees relating to taxes and letters of credit on behalf of parties with

whom we conduct business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskWe are primarily exposed to market risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on our term loans, revolving loans and foreign currency exchange

rates.

Interest rate riskOur exposure to interest rate fluctuations relate primarily to our Term Loan B and the Revolver.As of December 31, 2019, we had an outstanding balance of $982.5 million on Term Loan B. Term Loan B bears a floating interest rate of 1.75% plus

LIBOR. As of December 31, 2019, an adverse change of one percent on the interest rate would have the effect of increasing our annual interest payment on TermLoan B by approximately $9.8 million, assuming that the loan balance as of December 31, 2019 is outstanding for the entire period (June 30, 2019—$9.9 million).

As of December 31, 2019, we had an outstanding balance of $750.0 million on the Revolver. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest per annum at afloating rate of LIBOR plus a fixed rate that is dependent on our consolidated net leverage ratio ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. As at December 31, 2019, anadverse change of one percent on the interest rate would have the effect of increasing our annual interest payment on the Revolver by approximately $7.5 million,assuming that the full balance as of December 31, 2019 is outstanding for the entire period (June 30, 2019—nil).

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency transaction riskWe transact business in various foreign currencies. Our foreign currency exposures typically arise from intercompany fees, intercompany loans and other

intercompany transactions that are expected to be cash settled in the near term. We expect that we will continue to realize gains or losses with respect to our foreigncurrency exposures. Our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to foreign currency exposures will generally depend on the size and type of cross-currencytransactions that we enter into, the currency exchange rates associated with these exposures and changes in those rates. Additionally, we have hedged certain of ourCanadian dollar foreign currency exposures relating to our payroll expenses in Canada.

Based on the foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2019, a one cent change in the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange ratewould have caused a change of approximately $0.6 million in the mark to market on our existing foreign exchange forward contracts (June 30, 2019—$0.6million).

Foreign currency translation riskOur reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in foreign currencies impact the amount of total assets and liabilities that we report for our foreign

subsidiaries upon the translation of these amounts into U.S. dollars. In particular, the amount of cash and cash equivalents that we report in U.S. dollars for asignificant portion of the cash held by these subsidiaries is subject to translation variance caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as of the end ofeach

If overall foreign currency exchange rates in comparison to the U.S. dollar uniformly weakened by 10%, the amount of cash and cash equivalents we wouldreport in equivalent U.S. dollars would decrease by approximately $23.6 million (June 30, 2019—$32.9 million), assuming we have not entered into anyderivatives discussed above under "Foreign Currency Transaction Risk".

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(A) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and ProceduresAs of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief

Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that informationrequired to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periodsspecified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under theExchange Act (according to Rule 13(a)-15(e)) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief FinancialOfficer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(B) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR)Based on the evaluation completed by our management, in which our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer participated, our management has

concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscalquarter ended December 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June30, 2019 in addition to the risk factors set forth below. These are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us. Additional risks not currently known to us or thatwe currently believe are immaterial may also impair our operating results, financial condition and liquidity. Our business is also subject to general risks anduncertainties that affect many other companies.

We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Carbonite or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected.

We may be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the business practices and operations of OpenText andCarbonite. As we continue to integrate, we may experience disruptions to our business and, if implemented ineffectively, it could restrict the realization of the fullexpected benefits. The failure to meet the challenges involved in the integration process and to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Carbonite couldcause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, our operations and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, as we continue the integration of Carbonite, it may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, charges, liabilities, competitiveresponses, loss of customers and other business relationships, and diversion of management’s attention. Additional integration challenges may include:

• Difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects from the acquisition;• Difficulties in the integration of operations and systems, including pricing and marketing strategies, which may hurt the sale of hybrid backup solutions

which are sensitive to price; and• Difficulties in conforming standards, controls, procedures and accounting and other policies, business cultures and compensation structures.

Many of these factors will be outside of our control and any one of them could result in increased costs, including restructuring charges, decreases in theamount of expected revenues and diversion of management’s time and energy, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results ofoperations.

We may be unable to maintain or expand our base of SMB and professional consumer customers, which could adversely affect our anticipated future growthand operating results.

With the acquisition of Carbonite, we have expanded our presence in the SMB market as well as the consumer market. To expand in this market may requiresubstantial resources and increased marketing efforts, different to what we are accustomed to. If we are unable to market and sell our solutions to the SMB marketand consumers with competitive pricing and in a cost-effective manner, it may harm our ability to grow our revenues and adversely affect our results of operation.In addition, SMBs frequently have limited budgets and are more likely to be significantly affected by economic downturns than larger, more establishedcompanies. As such, SMBs may choose to spend funds on items other than our solutions, particularly during difficult economic times, which may hurt ourprojected revenues, business financial condition and results of operations.

If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at any one time by the same Holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes shall becomputed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered.

(iv) The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Company promptly following thelast VWAP Trading Day of the related Observation Period.

(e) If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issuance of any shares ofCommon Stock upon conversion of such Note, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name,in which case the Holder shall pay that tax. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in aname other than the Holder’s name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is due by such Holder in accordance with the immediatelypreceding sentence.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, if Notes are converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date for the payment of interest, butprior to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, Holders of such Notes shall receive the full amount of interest payable on suchNotes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of businesson any Regular Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount ofinterest payable on the Notes so converted on the corresponding Interest Payment Date (regardless of whether the converting Holder was the Holder of record onthe corresponding Regular Record Date); provided that no such payment need be made:

(i) if the Notes are surrendered for conversion following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date;

(ii) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the second Scheduled Trading Day immediatelyfollowing the corresponding Interest Payment Date;

(iv) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note.

Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders of record on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, any Redemption Date asdescribed in clause (ii) above and any Fundamental Change Repurchase Date as described in clause (iii) above shall receive and retain the full interest payment dueon the Maturity Date or other applicable Interest Payment Date regardless of whether their Notes have been converted following such Regular Record Date.

(h) The Person in whose name any shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion is registered shall become the holder of record of such shares as of theclose of business on (i) the relevant Conversion Date if the Company elects Physical Settlement or (ii) the last VWAP Trading Day of the relevant ObservationPeriod if the Company elects or is deemed to elect Combination Settlement. Upon a conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notessurrendered for conversion; provided that (a) the converting Holder shall have the right to receive the Settlement Amount due upon conversion and (b) in the caseof a conversion between a Regular Record Date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Holder of record as of the close of business on such RegularRecord Date shall have the right to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date, in accordance with Section 14.02(g).

Section 14.03. Increase in Conversion Rate Upon Conversion in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or Redemption Notice. (a) If the EffectiveDate of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date or the Company gives a Redemption Notice with respect to any or all of the Notespursuant to Section 16.02 and, in either case, a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or RedemptionNotice, the Company shall, under the circumstances described below, increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number ofadditional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”), as described below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connectionwith” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the period from the Effective Date of the Make-Whole FundamentalChange to the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-WholeFundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediatelyfollowing the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change) (such period, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period”). A conversion of Notesshall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” a Redemption Notice if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the period from the date of theRedemption Notice to (i) the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date or (ii) if the Company fails topay the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date, the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the Redemption Price hasbeen duly paid or duly provided for.

(b) Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or in connection with a Redemption Notice, the Companyshall, at its option, satisfy its Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement in accordance with Section 14.02;provided, however, that, if the consideration for the Common Stock in any Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition ofFundamental Change is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, theConversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1,000 principalamount of converted Notes equal to (i) the Conversion Rate (including any increase to reflect the Additional Shares as described in this Section 14.03), multipliedby (ii) such Stock Price. In such event, the Conversion Obligation shall be determined and paid to Holders in cash on the

third Business Day following the Conversion Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of theEffective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date (the “Make-Whole Fundamental ChangeCompany Notice”).

(c) The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on: (x) thedate on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective, or the date of the Redemption Notice, as the case may be (in each case, the“Effective Date”), and (y) the price paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change or with respect to theOptional Redemption, as the case may be (the “Stock Price”). If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Changedescribed in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be theaverage of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Dayimmediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change or the date of the Redemption Notice, as the case may be. The Board ofDirectors shall make appropriate adjustments to the Stock Price, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomeseffective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, during such five Trading Day period.

(d) The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is otherwise adjusted. Theadjusted Stock Prices shall equal (i) the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is theConversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as soadjusted.

The exact Stock Price and Effective Date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

(i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares bywhich the Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higherand lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

(ii) if the Stock Price is greater than $120.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the tableabove), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate; and

(iii) if the Stock Price is less than $19.50 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the tableabove), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes exceed 51.2820 shares of Common Stock, subject toadjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.04.

(f) Nothing in this Section 14.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

Section 14.04. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs,except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (other than in the case of a share split or sharecombination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactionsdescribed in this Section 14.04, without having to convert their Notes, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the Conversion Rate,multiplied by (ii) the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.

(a) If the Company exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a sharesplit or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x OS1

Any increase made under this Section 14.04(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effectiveimmediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after theexpiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase withrespect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. Ifsuch rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-DividendDate for such issuance had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 14.04(b) and Section 14.01(b)(ii)(A), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for orpurchase shares of the Common Stock at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day periodending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price ofsuch shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amountpayable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Company in good faith.

If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if suchdividend or distribution had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of aNote shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive theDistributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of CommonStock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of sharesof Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, that are, or, when issued, willbe, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

MP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; providedthat (x) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Physical Settlement is applicable, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the Valuation Period, thereferences to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Dividend Date ofsuch Spin-Off and the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate and (y) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Cash Settlement orCombination Settlement is applicable, for any Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such conversion and within the Valuation Period,the references to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-DividendDate of such Spin-Off and such Trading Day in determining the Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day.

occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if anyis required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 14.04(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options orwarrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable topurchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date ofdistribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall bedeemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) ofrights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was countedfor purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.04(c) was made:

If the Specified Corporate Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration(determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then the Reference Property used to calculate the Daily VWAP shall be deemed to be based on:(A) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election; and (B) ifno holder of Common Stock affirmatively make such an election, the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holder of Common Stock.
