UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014

(Tabular amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Open Text Corporation and our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as "OpenText" or the "Company". Our majority owned subsidiaries include Open Text South Africa Proprietary Ltd. (OT South Africa), GXS, Inc. (GXS Korea) and EC1 Pte. Ltd. (GXS Singapore), which as of September 30, 2014, were 90%, 85% and 81% owned, respectively, by OpenText.

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q: (i) the term “Fiscal 2015” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2014 and ending June 30, 2015; (ii) the term “Fiscal 2014” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2013 and ending June 30, 2014; (iii) the term “Fiscal 2013” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2012 and ending June 30, 2013; and (iv) the term “Fiscal 2012” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2011 and ending June 30, 2012.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.

Additionally, as a result of a two-for-one stock-split effected February 18, 2014 by way of a stock dividend, all historical per share data, number of Common Shares outstanding, and share-based compensation awards presented in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been presented on a post stock-split basis.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In particular, significant estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts, (iii) testing of goodwill for impairment, (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) asset retirement obligations, (x) the realization of investment tax credits, (xi) the valuation of stock options granted and liabilities related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plan, (xii) the valuation of financial instruments, (xiii) the valuation of pension assets and obligations, and (xiv) accounting for income taxes.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. Such reclassifications were not considered material and did not affect our consolidated total revenues, consolidated income from operations or consolidated net income.

NOTE 2—ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Disclosure of Going Concern Uncertainties:

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-15 "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern" (ASU 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 is effective for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the pending adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

7

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606” (ASU 2014-09). This update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” and nearly all other existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 identifies five steps to be followed to achieve this core principal, which includes i) identifying contract(s) with customers, ii) identifying performance obligations in the contract, iii) determining the transaction price, iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s) and v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. Early adoption is not permitted. When applying ASU 2014-09 we can either apply the amendments: i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09 or ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined within ASU 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

Term Loan A and Revolver

As of September 30, 2014, one of our credit facilities consists of a $600 million term loan facility (Term Loan A) and a $100 million committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver). Borrowings under Term Loan A are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets, and as of January 16, 2014, on a pari passu basis with Term Loan B (as defined below). We entered into this credit facility and borrowed the full amount under Term Loan A on November 9, 2011.

Term Loan A has a five year term and repayments made under Term Loan A are equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount at each quarter for the first 2 years, approximately 1.88% for years 3 and 4 and 2.5% for year 5. Term Loan A bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a fixed amount, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2014, this fixed amount was 2.5%.

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014, we recorded interest expense of $3.7 million relating to Term Loan A (three months endedSeptember 30, 2013—$3.5 million).

The Revolver has a five year term with no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. As of September 30, 2014, we have not drawn any amounts on the Revolver.

Term Loan B

In connection with the acquisition of GXS Group, Inc. (GXS), on January 16, 2014, we entered into a second credit facility, which provides for a $800 million term loan facility (Term Loan B).

Borrowings under Term Loan B are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets on a pari passu basis with Term Loan A. We entered into Term Loan B and borrowed the full amount on January 16, 2014.

Term Loan B has a seven year term and repayments made under Term Loan B are equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount in equal quarterly 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 interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.5% plus the higher of LIBOR or 0.75%.

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014, we recorded interest expense of $6.6 million relating to Term Loan B.

Mortgage

We currently have an "open" mortgage with a Canadian bank where we can pay all or a portion of the mortgage on or before August 1, 2015. The original principal amount of the mortgage was Canadian $15.0 million and interest accrues monthly at a variable rate of Canadian prime plus 0.50%. Principal and interest are payable in monthly installments of Canadian $0.1 million with a final lump sum principal payment due on maturity. The mortgage is secured by a lien on our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. We first entered into this mortgage in December 2005.

As of September 30, 2014, the carrying value of the mortgage was approximately $9.1 million (June 30, 2014—$9.6 million).

As of September 30, 2014, the carrying value of the Waterloo building that secures the mortgage was $15.6 million (June 30, 2014—$15.6 million).

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014, we recorded interest expense of $0.1 million, relating to the mortgage (three months endedSeptember 30, 2013—$0.1 million).

Defined Benefit Plans

CDT Plan

CDT sponsors an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all CDT employees (CDT pension plan) which provides for old age, disability and survivors’ benefits. Benefits under the CDT pension plan are generally based on age at retirement, years of service and the employee’s annual earnings. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. No contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan's active employees. As of September 30, 2014, there is approximately $0.3 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the CDT pension plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the next fiscal year.

GXS Germany Plan

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we acquired an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering certain German employees which provides for old age, disability and survivors' benefits. The GXS GER plan has been closed to new participants since 2006. Benefits under the GXS GER plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, date of hire, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. No contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. If actuarial gains or losses are in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation, such gains or losses will be amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan’s active employees. All information presented below for the GXS GER plan is presented for the period indicated, starting on January 16, 2014, when such plan was assumed by us with the acquisition of GXS.

GXS Philippines Plan

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we acquired 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

12

PHP plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. Aside from an initial contribution which had a fair value of approximately $36.0 thousand as of September 30, 2014, no additional contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. If actuarial gains or losses are in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation, such gains or losses will be amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan’s active employees. All information presented below for the GXS PHP plan is presented for the period indicated, starting on January 16, 2014, when such plan was assumed by us with the acquisition of GXS.

The following are the details of the change in the benefit obligation for each of the above mentioned pension plans for the periods indicated:

Other Plans

Other plans include certain defined benefit pension plans that are offered by certain of our foreign subsidiaries. Many of these plans were assumed through our acquisitions or are required by local regulatory requirements. These other plans are primarily unfunded, with the aggregate projected benefit obligation included in our pension liability. The net periodic cost of these plans are determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs.

NOTE 12—SHARE CAPITAL, OPTION PLANS AND SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Dividends

Stock Dividend

On January 23, 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock-split of our outstanding Common Shares. The two-for-one stock-split was implemented by way of a stock dividend whereby shareholders received one Common Share for each Common Share held. The record date for the stock dividend was February 7, 2014 and the payment date was February 18, 2014.

As a result of the two-for-one stock-split, all historical per share data, number of Common Shares outstanding and share-based compensation awards are presented on a post stock-split basis.

Cash Dividends

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014, pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, we declared total non-cumulative dividends of $0.1725 per Common Share, in the amount of $21.0 million, which we paid during the same period.

14

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, we declared total non-cumulative dividends of $0.15 per Common Share, in the amount of $17.7 million, which we paid during the same period.

Share Capital

Our authorized share capital includes an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of Preference Shares. No Preference Shares have been issued.

Treasury Stock

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not repurchase any of our Common Shares for potential reissuance under our Long Term Incentive Plans (LTIP) or otherwise.

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not reissue any Common Shares from treasury stock.

Share-Based Payments

Total share-based compensation expense for the periods indicated below is detailed as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013
Stock options	$	2,569	$	1,357
Performance Share Units (issued under LTIP)	591		2,168
Restricted Share Units (issued under LTIP)	743		604
Restricted Share Units (other)	75		216
Deferred Share Units (directors)	471		267
Total share-based compensation expense	$	4,449	$	4,612

Summary of Outstanding Stock Options

As of September 30, 2014, options to purchase an aggregate of 4,187,409 Common Shares were outstanding and 3,437,482 Common Shares were available for issuance under our stock option plans. Our stock options generally vest over four years and expire between seven and ten years from the date of the grant. The exercise price of the options is set at an amount that is not less than the closing price of our Common Shares on the NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable grant date.

A summary of activity under our stock option plans for three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 is as follows:

	Options		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic  Value ($’000s)
Outstanding at June 30, 2014	4,273,226		$	36.35
Granted	397,100		56.33
Exercised	(246,745	)	25.35
Forfeited or expired	(236,172	)	37.04
Outstanding at September 30, 2014	4,187,409		$	38.85	5.33	$	69,752
Exercisable at September 30, 2014	768,459		$	23.38	3.21	$	24,625

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

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

15

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

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013
Weighted–average fair value of options granted	$	14.30		$	7.75
Weighted-average assumptions used:
Expected volatility	32		%	32		%
Risk–free interest rate	1.51		%	1.19		%
Expected dividend yield	1.15		%	1.80		%
Expected life (in years)	4.34			4.36
Forfeiture rate (based on historical rates)	5		%	5		%
Average exercise share price	$	56.33		$	33.17

As of September 30, 2014, the total compensation cost related to the unvested stock option awards not yet recognized was approximately $33.2 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3 years.

No cash was used by us to settle equity instruments granted under share-based compensation arrangements.

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 months endedSeptember 30, 2014, cash in the amount of $6.3 million was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.5 million.

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2013, cash in the amount of $1.2 million was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2013 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.1 million.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

We incentivize our executive officers, in part, with long term compensation pursuant to our LTIP. The LTIP is a rolling three year program that grants eligible employees a certain number of target Performance Share Units (PSUs) and/or RSUs. Target PSUs become vested upon the satisfaction of certain financial and/or operational performance criteria (the Performance Conditions) that are determined at the time of the grant. Target RSUs become vested when an eligible employee remains employed throughout the vesting period. LTIP grants that have recently vested, or have yet to vest, are described below. LTIP grants will be referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q based upon the year in which the grants are expected to vest and be settled.

Grants made in Fiscal 2012 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2014 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2012 starting on February 3, 2012. Awards made under the Fiscal 2014 LTIP will be issued in the second quarter of Fiscal 2015 in accordance with our insider trading policy, which states, in part, that stock awards may not be issued while a "trading window" is closed. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2014 LTIP awards in stock.

Grants made in Fiscal 2013 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2015 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2013 starting on November 2, 2012 for the RSUs and December 3, 2012 for the PSUs. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. RSUs granted are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2015 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2015 LTIP awards in stock.

Grants made in Fiscal 2014 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2016 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2014 starting on November 1, 2013. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. RSUs granted on November 1, 2013 are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2016 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2016 LTIP awards in stock.

Grants made in Fiscal 2015 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2017 LTIP), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2015 starting on September 4, 2014. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. The RSUs are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2017 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2017 LTIP awards in stock.

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

16

Expected and actual stock compensation expense for each of the above mentioned LTIP plans is as follows:

						Three Months Ended September 30,
Grants Made Under LTIP	Equity Instrument	Grant Date	End Date	Expected Total LTIP Expense		2014			2013
Fiscal 2013 LTIP	PSU	10/29/2010	9/15/2013	6,489		—			215
Fiscal 2014 LTIP	PSU	2/3/2012	9/15/2014	7,838		420			1,370
Fiscal 2015 LTIP	PSU	12/3/2012	9/15/2015	2,313		(1		)	583
Fiscal 2015 LTIP	RSU	11/2/2012	9/15/2015	3,804		211			604
Fiscal 2016 LTIP	PSU	11/1/2013	9/15/2016	1,638		85			—
Fiscal 2016 LTIP	RSU	11/1/2013	9/15/2016	4,162		329			—
Fiscal 2017 LTIP	PSU	9/4/2014	9/15/2017	3,701		87			—
Fiscal 2017 LTIP	RSU	9/4/2014	9/15/2017	8,645		203			—
				$	38,590	$	1,334		$	2,772

Of the total expected LTIP expense of $38.6 million noted in the table above, $20.7 million has been recognized to date and the remaining expected total compensation cost of $17.9 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

Restricted Share Units (RSUs)

On September 8, 2014, we granted 12,500 RSUs to our Chief Financial Officer, in accordance with his employment agreement. The RSUs will vest equally over three years. We expect to settle the awards in stock.

Deferred Stock Units (DSUs)

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014, we granted 398 DSUs to certain non-employee directors (three months endedSeptember 30, 2013—486 on a post stock-split basis). The DSUs were issued under our Deferred Share Unit Plan. DSUs granted as compensation for directors fees vest immediately, whereas all other DSUs granted vest at our next annual general meeting following the granting of the DSUs. No DSUs are payable by us until the director ceases to be a member of the Board.

Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP)

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014, cash in the amount of approximately $0.8 million was received from employees that will be used to purchase Common Shares in future periods (three months endedSeptember 30, 2013—$0.7 million)

Guarantees and Indemnifications

We have entered into customer agreements which may include provisions to indemnify our customers against third party claims that our software products or services infringe certain third party intellectual property rights and for liabilities related to a breach of our confidentiality obligations. We have not made any material payments in relation to such indemnification provisions and have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

17

Litigation

We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.

Quarterly, we review the status of each significant legal matter and evaluate such matters to determine how they should be treated for accounting and disclosure purposes in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450-20 "Loss Contingencies" (Topic 450-20). Specifically, this evaluation process includes the centralized tracking and itemization of the status of all our disputes and litigation items, discussing the nature of any litigation and claim, including any dispute or claim that is reasonably likely to result in litigation, with relevant internal and external counsel, and assessing the progress of each matter in light of its merits and our experience with similar proceedings under similar circumstances.

If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with Topic 450-20. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, such aggregated losses were not material to our consolidated financial position or result of operations and we do not believe as of the date of this filing that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding the amounts already recognized will be incurred that would be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Contingencies

EasyLink Services International Corporation (EasyLink) and its United States subsidaries are currently being assessed by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (the Department) for the potential applicability of telecommunications excise and franchise taxes to its New York State revenues for certain pre-acquisition EasyLink revenue. The potential exposure under this assessment, based upon the notice issued by the Department, is approximately $10.5 million and has been accrued for by us. OpenText intends to vigorously defend against this assessment.

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we have inherited a tax dispute in Brazil between the Company’s subsidiary, GXS Tecnologia da Informação (Brasil) Ltda. (GXS Brazil), and the municipality of São Paulo, in connection with GXS Brazil’s judicial appeal of a tax claim in the amount of $2.7 million as of September 30, 2014. We currently have in place a bank guarantee in the amount of $3.7 million in recognition of this dispute. However, we believe that the position of the São Paulo tax authorities is not consistent with the relevant facts and based on information available on the case and other similar matters provided by local counsel, we believe that we can defend our position and that no tax is owed. Although we believe that the facts support our position, the ultimate outcome of this matter could result in a loss of up to the claim amount discussed above, plus future interest or penalties that may accrue.

Historically, prior to our acquisition of GXS, GXS would charge certain costs to its subsidiaries, including GXS Brazil, primarily based on historical transfer pricing studies that were intended to reflect the costs incurred by subsidiaries in relation to services provided by the parent company to the subject subsidiary. GXS recorded taxes on amounts billed, that were considered to be due based on the intercompany charges. GXS subsequently re-evaluated its intercompany charges to GXS Brazil and related taxes and, upon taking into consideration the current environment and judicial proceedings in Brazil, concluded that it was probable that certain indirect taxes would be assessable and payable based upon the accrual of such intercompany charges and accrued approximately $10.2 million for the probable amount of a settlement related to the indirect taxes, interest and penalties.

Our Indian subsidiary, GXS India Technology Centre Private Limited (GXS India), is subject to potential assessments by Indian tax authorities in the city of Bangalore. GXS India has received assessment orders from the Indian tax authorities alleging that the transfer price applied to intercompany transactions was not appropriate. Based on advice from our tax advisors, we believe that the facts that the Indian tax authorities are using to support their assessment are incorrect. We have filed appeals and anticipate an eventual settlement with the Indian tax authorities. We have accrued $1.4 million to cover our anticipated financial exposure in this matter.

The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is examining certain of our tax returns for Fiscal 2010 through Fiscal 2012, and in connection with those examinations is reviewing our internal reorganization in Fiscal 2010 to consolidate certain intellectual property ownership in Luxembourg and Canada and our integration of certain acquisitions into the resulting structure. These examinations may lead to proposed adjustments to our taxes, which may be material, individually or in the aggregate. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no adjustments have been proposed by the IRS, and we have not recorded any material accruals for any such potential adjustments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 14—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.

18

We recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 and 2013, we recognized the following amounts as income tax-related interest expense and penalties:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013
Interest expense	$	2,004	$	2,328
Penalties expense	48		238
Total	$	2,052	$	2,566

As of September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the following amounts have been accrued on account of income tax-related interest expense and penalties:

	As of September 30, 2014		As of June 30, 2014
Interest expense accrued *	$	28,014	$	26,235
Penalties accrued *	$	7,649	$	7,858

* These balances have been included within "Long-term income taxes payable" within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We believe that it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits, as of September 30, 2014, could decrease tax expense in the next 12 months by $18.9 million, relating primarily to the expiration of competent authority relief and tax years becoming statute barred for purposes of future tax examinations by local taxing jurisdictions.

Our four most significant tax jurisdictions are Canada, the United States, Luxembourg and Germany. Our tax filings remain subject to audits by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. Tax years that remain open to tax audits by local taxing authorities vary by jurisdiction up to ten years.

We are subject to tax audits in all major taxing jurisdictions in which we operate and currently have tax audits open in Canada, the United States, France, Spain, Germany, India, the Netherlands and Italy. On a quarterly basis we assess the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse outcomes to determine the adequacy of the provision for income and other taxes. Statements regarding the United States audits are included in note 13.

The timing of the resolution of income tax audits is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities or possibly reach resolution of income tax audits in one or more jurisdictions. These assessments or settlements may or may not result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on tax filings. The actual amount of any change could vary significantly depending on the ultimate timing and nature of any settlements. We cannot currently provide an estimate of the range of possible outcomes.

As at September 30, 2014, we have provided $8.2 million (June 30, 2014—$7.6 million) in respect of both additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the undistributed earnings of certain non-United States subsidiaries, and planned periodic repatriations from certain United States and Luxembourg subsidiaries, that will be subject to withholding taxes upon distribution. We have not provided for additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities related to undistributed earnings of all other non-Canadian subsidiaries, since such earnings are considered permanently invested in those subsidiaries, or are not subject to withholding taxes. It is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amount of additional deferred income tax liabilities or foreign withholding taxes that may be payable should these earnings be distributed in the future.

The effective GAAP tax rate (which is the provision for taxes expressed as a percentage of net income before taxes) decreased to 21.2% for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014, from 38.2% for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2013, primarily due to a decrease in the net change in valuation allowance in the amount of $2.0 million and a decrease in the net expense of unrecognized tax benefits with related interest and penalties in the amount of $1.2 million. The remainder of the differences are due to normal course movements and non-material items.

NOTE 15—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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

• Level 1—inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

• Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

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

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following types of instruments as of September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014:

	September 30, 2014									June 30, 2014
				Fair Market Measurements using:								Fair Market Measurements using:
	September 30, 2014			Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets/ (liabilities)		Significant other observable inputs			Significant unobservable inputs	June 30, 2014		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets/ (liabilities)		Significant other observable inputs		Significant unobservable inputs
				(Level 1)		(Level 2)			(Level 3)			(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Financial Assets:
Marketable securities	$	5,637		$	5,637	n/a			n/a	$	—	$	—	n/a		n/a
	$	5,637		$	5,637	n/a			n/a	$	—	$	—	n/a		n/a

	$	(3,118	)	n/a		$	(3,118	)	n/a	$	756	n/a		$	756	n/a

Our valuation technique used to measure the fair values of our marketable securities were derived from quoted market prices as an active market for these securities exist. Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of the derivative instruments, the counterparty to which has high credit ratings, were derived from pricing models including discounted cash flow techniques, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data, as no quoted market prices exist for the derivative instruments. Our discounted cash flow techniques use observable market inputs, such as foreign currency spot and forward rates.

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

20

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 and 2013, no indications of impairment were identified and therefore no fair value measurements were required.

If applicable, we will recognize transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the actual event or change in circumstance occurs. During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not have any significant transfers in or out of Level 2 or Level 3.

NOTE 16—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We are engaged in hedging programs with Canadian chartered banks to limit the potential foreign exchange fluctuations incurred on future cash flows relating to a portion of our Canadian dollar payroll expenses. We operate internationally and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business, in particular to changes in the Canadian dollar on account of large costs that are incurred from our centralized Canadian operations, which are denominated in Canadian dollars. As part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments to hedge portions of our payroll exposure. We do not use these forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes. These forward contracts typically mature between one and twelve months.

We have designated these transactions as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions under ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (Topic 815). As the critical terms of the hedging instrument, and of the entire hedged forecasted transaction, are the same, in accordance with Topic 815 we have been able to conclude that changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged are expected to completely offset at inception and on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, quarterly unrealized gains or losses on the effective portion of these forward contracts have been included within other comprehensive income. The fair value of the contracts, as of September 30, 2014, is recorded within “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”.

As of September 30, 2014, the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was $74.7 million (June 30, 2014—$99.6 million).

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments and Effect of Derivative Instruments on Financial Performance

The effect of these derivative instruments on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods indicated below were as follows (amounts presented do not include any income tax effects).

NOTE 17—SPECIAL CHARGES

Special charges include costs that relate to certain restructuring initiatives that we have undertaken from time to time under our various restructuring plans, as well as acquisition-related costs and other similar charges.

	2014		2013
OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan	$	2,806	$	—
Restructuring Plans prior to OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan	87		4,796
Acquisition-related costs	436		1,304
Other charges	840		(2,369		)
Total	$	4,169	$	3,731

OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan

In the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 and in the context of the acquisition of GXS, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan). These charges relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations. These charges requires management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

As of September 30, 2014, we expect total costs to be incurred in conjunction with the OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan to be approximately $30.0 million, of which $22.1 million has already been recorded within Special charges to date. We expect the OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan to be substantially completed by the end of our current fiscal year.

22

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 is shown below.

OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan	Workforce reduction			Facility costs			Total
Balance as of June 30, 2014	$	5,051		$	6,028		$	11,079

Acquisition-related costs

Included within Special charges for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 are costs incurred directly in relation to acquisitions in the amount of $0.2 million (three months endedSeptember 30, 2013—$0.9 million). Additionally, we incurred costs relating to financial advisory, legal, valuation and audit services and other miscellaneous costs necessary to integrate acquired companies into our organization for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 in the amount of $0.2 million (three months endedSeptember 30, 2013—$0.4 million).

Other charges

Included within "Other charges" for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 is a charge of $0.8 million relating to certain pre-acquisition tax liabilities, the associated interest accrual, and miscellaneous integration costs.

Included within "Other charges" for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2013 is a net recovery of $3.8 million relating to a reduction of certain pre-acquisition tax liabilities, inclusive of an offsetting associated interest accrual. This recovery was offset by a charge of $1.4 million relating to a settlement agreement reached in connection with the acquisition of IXOS Software AG in February 2004.

NOTE 18—ACQUISITIONS

GXS Group, Inc.

On January 16, 2014, we acquired GXS Group, Inc. (GXS), a Delaware corporation and leader in cloud-based, business-to-business (B2B) integration. The acquisition combines OpenText's Information Exchange portfolio with GXS' portfolio of B2B integration services and managed services. Total consideration for GXS was $1.2 billion, inclusive of the issuance of 2,595,042 OpenText Common Shares on a post stock-split basis. In accordance with Topic 805 "Business Combinations" (Topic 805), this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

The results of operations of GXS have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning January 16, 2014.

The following tables summarize the preliminary consideration paid for GXS and the amount of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the preliminary goodwill recorded as of the acquisition date:

Cash consideration paid	$	1,101,874
Equity consideration paid	116,777
Preliminary purchase consideration	$	1,218,651
Acquisition-related costs (included in Special charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income) for the three months ended September 30, 2014	$	141

As set forth in the purchase agreement, $60.0 million of the total cash consideration paid is currently being held by an escrow agent for indemnification purposes and, subject to certain conditions being met, the payout thereof will be released between nine and twelve months from the date of the acquisition.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The preliminary purchase price of GXS has been allocated to GXS' tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. For certain assets and liabilities, the book values as of the balance sheet date have been determined to reflect fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets has been recorded as goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date).

23

Our preliminary purchase price allocation for GXS is as follows:

Current assets (inclusive of cash acquired of $24,382)	$	127,406
Non-current tangible assets	36,139
Intangible customer assets	364,600
Intangible technology assets	123,200
Liabilities and non-controlling interest assumed	(105,459		)
Total identifiable net assets	545,886
Goodwill	672,765
Net assets acquired	$	1,218,651

The finalization of the above purchase price allocation is pending the determination of the finalization of the fair value for taxation-related balances and for potential unrecorded liabilities. We expect to finalize this determination on or before December 31, 2014.

Adjustments made to goodwill in the first quarter of Fiscal 2015 primarily include reductions of certain tax related liabilities based upon the determination of additional tax attributes available on acquisition.

No portion of the goodwill recorded upon the acquisition of GXS is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of current assets acquired includes accounts receivable with a fair value of $94.3 million. The gross amount receivable was $108.2 million of which $13.9 million of this receivable was expected to be uncollectible.

**Income tax installments paid in prior periods were higher than the actual taxes eventually determined as being owed, resulting in a net refund during the period.

NOTE 20—EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income, attributable to OpenText, by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income, attributable to OpenText, by the shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share plus the dilutive effect of Common Share equivalents, such as stock options, using the treasury stock method. Common Share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 21—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Our procedure regarding the approval of any related party transaction requires that the material facts of such transaction be reviewed by the independent members of our Board and the transaction be approved by a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Board reviews all transactions in which we are, or will be, a participant and any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest. In determining whether to approve a related party transaction, the Board generally takes into account, among other facts it deems appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; the extent and nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction; the benefits to the Company of the proposed transaction; if applicable, the effects on a director’s independence; and if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable services or products.

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014, Mr. Stephen Sadler, a director, earned $4.0 thousand (three months endedSeptember 30, 2013—$0.2 million) in consulting fees from OpenText for assistance with acquisition-related business activities. Mr. Sadler abstained from voting on all transactions from which he would potentially derive consulting fees.

NOTE 22—SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Cash Dividends

As part of our quarterly, non-cumulative cash dividend program, we declared, on October 22, 2014, a dividend of $0.1725 per Common Share. The record date for this dividend is November 21, 2014 and the payment date is December 12, 2014. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination and discretion of our Board of Directors.

Where we say “we”, “us”, “our”, “OpenText” or “the Company”, we mean Open Text Corporation or Open Text Corporation and its subsidiaries, as applicable.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We are an independent company providing a comprehensive suite of software products and services that assist organizations in finding, utilizing, and sharing business information from any device in ways which are intuitive, efficient and productive. Our technologies and business solutions address one of the biggest problems encountered by enterprises today: the explosive growth of information volume and formats. Our software and services allow organizations to manage the information that flows into, out of, and throughout the enterprise as part of daily operations. Our solutions help to increase customer satisfaction, improve collaboration with partners, address the legal and business requirements associated with information governance, and aim to ensure that information remains secure and private, as demanded in today's highly regulated climate.

Our products and services provide the benefits of organizing and managing business content, while leveraging it to operate more efficiently and effectively. Our solutions incorporate social and mobile technologies and are delivered for on-premises deployment as well as through cloud and managed hosted services models to provide the flexibility and cost efficiencies demanded by the market. In addition, we provide solutions that facilitate the exchange of transactions that occur between supply chain participants, such as manufacturers, retailers, distributors and financial institutions, and are central to a company’s ability to effectively collaborate with its partners.

Our initial public offering was on the NASDAQ in 1996 and we were subsequently listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in 1998. We are a multinational company and as of September 30, 2014, employed approximately 8,000 people worldwide.

We operate in a market known as Enterprise Information Management (EIM). This is a comprehensive market category that includes a rich set of capabilities that allow organizations to manage content by optimizing the value of business information while reducing the costs associated with capturing, storing, and managing information. At its core, EIM is about helping organizations get the most out of information. Our EIM offerings include Enterprise Content Management (ECM), Business Process Management (BPM), Customer Experience Management (CEM), Information Exchange (iX), and Discovery.

See "Acquisitions" below for the impact of acquisitions on the period-to-period comparability of results.

Acquisitions

Our competitive position in the marketplace requires us to maintain a complex and evolving array of technologies, products, services and capabilities. In light of the continually evolving marketplace in which we operate, we regularly evaluate various acquisition opportunities within the EIM market.

We believe our acquisitions support our long-term strategic direction, strengthen our competitive position, expand our customer base, provide greater scale to accelerate innovation, grow our earnings and increase shareholder value. We expect to continue to strategically acquire companies, products, services and technologies to augment our existing business. Our acquisitions, particularly significant ones such as GXS Group, Inc. (GXS), acquired in January 2014, affect the period-to-period comparability of our results. See note 18 “Acquisitions” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

Outlook for Fiscal 2015

We believe we have a strong position in the EIM market. Our goal is to strengthen our position in EIM by building on our leadership in ECM, BPM, CEM, and iX and expanding our position in Discovery. Customer support revenues are generally a recurring source of income for us and makes up a significant portion of our revenue mix. With the acquisition of GXS, our cloud services revenue has grown and we expect cloud services revenue to continue to be a recurring and growing stream of revenue in the future. We also believe that our diversified geographic profile helps strengthen our position and helps to reduce the impact of a downturn in the economy that may occur in any one specific region.

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 amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates, judgments and assumptions and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

(i) Revenue recognition,

(ii) Capitalized software,

(iii) Goodwill,

(iv) Acquired intangibles,

(v) Restructuring charges,

(vi) Business combinations,

(vii) Foreign currency, and

(viii) Income taxes.     

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2015, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates. For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

Revenues, Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin by Product Type

1)    License Revenues:

License revenues consist of fees earned from the licensing of software products to customers. Our license revenues are impacted by the strength of general economic and industry conditions, the competitive strength of our software products, and our acquisitions. Cost of license revenues consists primarily of royalties payable to third parties.  

	Three Months Ended September 30,
(In thousands)	2014			Change increase (decrease)			2013
License Revenues:
Americas	$	22,897		$	(6,018	)	$	28,915
EMEA	28,749			6,742			22,007
Asia Pacific	6,969			2,585			4,384
Total License Revenues	58,615			3,309			55,306
Cost of License Revenues	3,088			52			3,036
GAAP-based License Gross Profit	$	55,527		$	3,257		$	52,270
GAAP-based License Gross Margin %	94.7		%				94.5		%
% License Revenues by Geography:
Americas	39.1		%				52.3		%
EMEA	49.0		%				39.8		%
Asia Pacific	11.9		%				7.9		%

License revenues increased by $3.3 million, which was geographically attributable to an increase in EMEA of $6.7 million, and an increase in Asia Pacific of $2.6 million, offset by a decrease in Americas of $6.0 million. The number of license deals greater than $1.0 million that closed during the first quarter of Fiscal 2015 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year was 3 deals in Fiscal 2015, inclusive of a settlement of patent infringement claims against Alfresco Software, Ltd., compared to 5 deals in Fiscal 2014.

Cost of license revenues were relatively stable, with gross margin percentage remaining at approximately 95%.

2)    Cloud Services:

Cloud services revenues consist of service arrangements that allow our customers to make use of OpenText software, services and content over Internet enabled networks supported by OpenText data centers. These web applications allow customers to transmit a variety of content between various mediums and to securely manage enterprise information without the commitment of investing in related hardware infrastructure. Revenues are generated on several transactional usage-based models, are typically billed monthly in arrears, and can therefore fluctuate from period to period. Certain service fees are

30

occasionally charged to customize hosted software for some customers and are either amortized over the estimated customer life, in the case of setup fees, or recognized in the period they are provided.

In addition, the acquisition of GXS combines GXS' portfolio of business-to-business (B2B) integration solutions, such as messaging services, and managed services, with offerings in OpenText’s iX portfolio. Messaging services allow for the automated and reliable exchange of electronic transaction information, such as purchase orders, invoices, shipment notices and other business documents, among businesses worldwide. Managed services provide an end-to-end fully outsourced B2B integration solution to our customers, including program implementation, operational management, and customer support. These services enable customers to effectively manage the flow of electronic transaction information with their trading partners and reduce the complexity of disparate standards and communication protocols. Revenues are primarily generated through transaction processing. Transaction processing fees are recurring in nature and are recognized on a per transaction basis in the period in which the related transactions are processed. Revenues from contracts with monthly, quarterly or annual minimum transaction levels are recognized based on the greater of the actual transactions or the specified contract minimum amounts during the relevant period. Customers who are not committed to multi-year contracts generally are under contracts for transaction processing solutions that automatically renew every month or year, depending on the terms of the specific contracts.

Cost of cloud services revenues is comprised primarily of third party network usage fees, maintenance of in-house data hardware centers, technical support personnel-related costs, amortization of customer set up and implementation costs, and some third party royalty costs.

Asia Pacific	18,455			10,757		7,698
Total Cloud Services Revenues	150,006			108,359		41,647
Cost of Cloud Services Revenues	57,996			43,731		14,265

GAAP-based Cloud Services Gross Margin %	61.3		%			65.7		%
% Cloud Services Revenues by Geography:
Americas	64.2		%			66.8		%
EMEA	23.5		%			14.7		%
Asia Pacific	12.3		%			18.5		%

Cloud services revenues increased by $108.4 million, primarily due to the acquisition of GXS. Geographically, this was attributable to an increase in Americas of $68.5 million, an increase in EMEA of $29.1 million, and an increase in Asia Pacific of $10.8 million.

Cost of cloud services revenues increased by $43.7 million primarily due to higher revenue attainment and the impact of certain adjustments made in the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 relating to the release of sales tax liabilities that did not reoccur in the first quarter of Fiscal 2015. As a result, the gross margin percentage on cloud services revenue decreased to approximately 61% from approximately 66%.

3)    Customer Support Revenues:

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 from support and maintenance relating to current year sales of software products and from the renewal of existing maintenance agreements for software licenses sold in prior periods. Therefore, changes in customer support revenues do not always correlate directly to the changes in license revenues from period to period. The terms of support and maintenance agreements are typically twelve months, with customer renewal options. Cost of customer support revenues is comprised primarily of technical support personnel and related costs, as well as third party royalty costs.

% Customer Support Revenues by Geography:
Americas	52.9		%			53.2		%
EMEA	38.9		%			39.4		%
Asia Pacific	8.2		%			7.4		%

Customer support revenues increased by $15.5 million, which was geographically attributable to an increase in Americas of $7.8 million, an increase in EMEA of $5.1 million, and an increase in Asia Pacific of $2.5 million.

Cost of customer support revenues were relatively stable, with gross margin percentage on customer support revenues remaining at approximately 87%.

4)    Professional Service and Other Revenues:

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. These revenues are grouped within the “Professional service and other” category because they are relatively immaterial to our service revenues. Professional services are typically performed after the purchase of new software licenses. Cost of professional service and other revenues consists primarily of the costs of providing integration, configuration and training with respect to our various software products. The most significant components of these costs are personnel-related expenses, travel costs and third party subcontracting.

% Professional Service and Other Revenues by Geography:
Americas	48.4		%				49.2		%
EMEA	43.6		%				42.5		%
Asia Pacific	8.0		%				8.3		%

Professional service and other revenues increased by $2.2 million, which was geographically attributable to an increase in EMEA of $1.6 million and an increase in Americas of $0.6 million. Asia Pacific remained stable year over year.

32

Cost of professional service and other revenues remained stable. However, as a result of reduced headcount costs and other efficiencies gained from the realignment of our Professional Services business, the gross margin percentage on professional service and other revenues has increased to 26% from approximately 23%.

Amortization of Acquired Technology-based Intangible Assets

(In thousands)	2014		Change increase (decrease)			2013
Amortization of acquired technology-based intangible assets	$	18,206	$	(3,324	)	$	21,530

Amortization of acquired technology-based intangible assets decreased by $3.3 million as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This is due to the intangible assets pertaining to our acquisitions of Vignette Corporation (Vignette), Hummingbird Corporation (Hummingbird), IXOS Software AG (IXOS), and Captaris Inc. becoming fully amortized, offset in part by the addition of new acquired technology-based intangible assets from our acquisition of GXS.

Amortization of acquired customer-based intangible assets	5.7		%			5.3		%
Special charges	0.9		%			1.1		%

Research and development expenses consist primarily of payroll and payroll-related benefits expenses, contracted research and development expenses, and facility costs. Research and development assists with organic growth, improves product stability and functionality, and as such we dedicate extensive efforts to update and upgrade our product offerings. The primary driver is typically budgeted software upgrades and software development.

33

Research and development expenses increased by $4.5 million. Primarily as a result of our acquisition of GXS, our research and development labour resources increased by 379 employees, from 1,528 employees at September 30, 2013 to 1,907 employees at September 30, 2014. This increase in labour resources resulted in a $4.5 million increase in payroll and payroll-related benefits and a $1.7 million increase in the use of facility and related resources. This was partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in contract labour and consulting, resulting from continued efforts to reduce the usage of external services and replace them with internal resources. Overall, our research and development expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, have decreased to 10% from 12%.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses and costs associated with advertising, marketing and trade shows.

	Quarter-over-Quarter Change between Fiscal

Marketing expenses	1,077
Facilities	451
Other miscellaneous	1,138
Total year-over-year change in sales and marketing expenses	$	10,686

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $10.7 million. This is due to a $5.5 million increase in payroll and payroll-related benefits, primarily attributed to our acquisition of GXS, and a $2.7 million increase in commission benefits resulting from the increase in total revenues. Our sales and marketing labour resources increased by 205 employees, from 1,181 employees at September 30, 2013 to 1,386 employees at September 30, 2014. In addition, marketing expenses increased by $1.1 million, primarily on account of a global "sales kick off" event held at the beginning of Fiscal 2015. Overall, our sales and marketing expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, have decreased to 18% from 21%.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and payroll related benefits expenses, related overhead, audit fees, other professional fees, consulting expenses and public company costs.

	Quarter-over-Quarter Change between Fiscal
(In thousands)	2015 and 2014
Payroll and payroll-related benefits	$	3,981

Facilities	(1,795		)
Other miscellaneous	3,564
Total year-over-year change in general and administrative expenses	$	6,870

General and administrative expenses increased by $6.9 million. Payroll and payroll-related benefits increased by $4.0 million, primarily as a result of the acquisition of GXS. Our general and administrative labour resources increased by 205 employees, from 757 employees at September 30, 2013 to 962 employees at September 30, 2014. Additionally, other miscellaneous expenses increased by $3.6 million, which includes professional fees such as legal, audit, and tax related expenses. Legal fees have increased primarily on account of litigation that we are pursuing with respect to amounts potentially recoverable by us. Audit and tax fees have increased due to our increased acquisition-related activities. As a result, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenue, have increased to 9% from 8% in the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Amortization of acquired customer-based intangible assets	$	25,884	$	8,607	$	17,277

Acquired customer-based intangible assets amortization expense increased by $8.6 million. This is primarily due to the acquisition of GXS during the third quarter of Fiscal 2014, offset by the intangible assets pertaining to our acquisitions of Hummingbird, IXOS, and Vignette becoming fully amortized.

Special charges:

Special chargestypically relate to amounts that we expect to pay in connection with restructuring plans relating to employee workforce reduction and abandonment of excess facilities, acquisition-related costs and other similar charges. Generally, we implement such plans in the context of integrating existing OpenText operations with that of acquired entities. Actions related to such restructuring 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 an expense lower than anticipated is paid out, we record a recovery of the originally recorded expense to Special charges.

	Three Months Ended September 30,
(In thousands)	2014		Change increase (decrease)		2013
Special charges	$	4,169	$	438	$	3,731

Special charges increased by $0.4 million. This was due to a $3.2 million increase in other miscellaneous charges, offset by a $1.9 million decrease on account of restructuring activities and a $0.9 million decrease in acquisition-related costs.

For more details on Special charges, see note 17 "Special Charges" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Other Income (Expense)

Net other income (expense) relates to certain non-operational charges consisting primarily of transactional foreign exchange gains (losses). This income (expense) is dependent upon the change in foreign currency exchange rates vis-à-vis the functional currency of the legal entity.

For more details see note 10 "Long-Term Debt" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Provision for Income Taxes

We initiated an internal reorganization of our international subsidiaries in our fiscal year which began on July 1, 2009 and ended June 30, 2010 and we continue to integrate acquisitions into this new organizational structure, where appropriate, for the following reasons: 1) to consolidate our intellectual property within certain jurisdictions, 2) to effect an operational reduction of our global subsidiaries with a view to, eventually, having a single operating legal entity in each jurisdiction, 3) to better safeguard our intellectual property in jurisdictions with well established legal regimes and protections and 4) to simplify the management of our intellectual property ownership.

We operate in several tax jurisdictions and are exposed to various foreign tax rates. We also note that we are subject to tax rate discrepancies between our domestic tax rate and foreign tax rates that are significant and these discrepancies are primarily related to earnings in Luxembourg.

	Three Months Ended September 30,
(In thousands)	2014		Change increase (decrease)			2013
Provision for income taxes	$	17,402	$	(1,552	)	$	18,954

The effective GAAP tax rate (which is the provision for taxes expressed as a percentage of net income before taxes) decreased to 21.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 38.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to a decrease in the net change in valuation allowance in the amount of $2.0 million, and a decrease in the net expense of unrecognized tax benefits with related interest and penalties in the amount of $1.2 million. The remainder of the differences are due to normal course movements and non-material items.

For information with regards to certain potential tax contingencies, see note 13 "Guarantees and Contingencies" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In 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's definition 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 may be more difficult to compare the Company's financial performance to that of other companies. However, the Company's management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of these Non-GAAP financial measures both in its reconciliation to the U.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, which are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be a substitute for financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with and as a supplement to such U.S. GAAP measures. OpenText strongly encourages investors to review its financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure. The Company therefore believes that despite these 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 are calculated as net income or earnings per share on a diluted basis, excluding the amortization of acquired intangible assets, other income (expense), share-based compensation, and special charges, all net of tax. Non-GAAP-based gross profit is the arithmetical sum of GAAP-based gross profit and the amortization of acquired technology-based intangible assets. Non-GAAP-based gross margin is calculated as Non-GAAP-based gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue. Non-GAAP-based income from operations is calculated as income from operations, excluding the amortization of acquired intangible assets, special charges, and share-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP-based operating margin is calculated as Non-GAAP-based income from operations expressed as a percentage of revenue.

The Company's management believes that the presentation of the above defined Non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors because they portray the financial results of the Company before the impact of certain non-operational charges. The use of the term “non-operational charge” is defined for this purpose as an expense that does not impact the ongoing operating decisions taken by the Company's management and is based upon the way the Company's management evaluates the performance of the Company's business for use in the Company's internal reports. In the course of such evaluation and for the purpose of making operating decisions, the Company's management excludes certain items from its analysis, including amortization of acquired intangible assets, special charges, share-based compensation, other income (expense), and the taxation impact of these items. These items are excluded based upon the manner in which management evaluates the business of the Company and are not excluded in the sense that they may be used under U.S. GAAP.

The Company believes the provision of supplemental Non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the operational and financial performance of the Company's core business using the same evaluation measures that management uses, and is therefore a useful indication of OpenText's performance or expected performance of future operations and facilitates period-to-period comparison of operating performance (although prior performance is not necessarily 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 following periods presented:

Cash used in financing activities	$	(27,151	)	$	(3,658	)	$	(23,493	)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of deposits held at major banks with original maturities of 90 days or less.

In connection with our acquisition of GXS, we entered into Term Loan B (as defined below in "Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities") on January 16, 2014 to borrow $800 million. For further details on this borrowing, see "Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities" below as well as a copy of the agreement filed as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on January 16, 2014.

We 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 12 months. However, 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 more details, see "Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities" below.

We do not have any material restrictions on repatriation of cash from foreign subsidiaries nor do we expect taxes on repatriation of cash held in foreign subsidiaries to have a material effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.

Cash flows provided by operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities increased by $58.6 million due to an increase in net income before the impact of non-cash items of $46.1 million and an increase in changes from working capital of $12.5 million.

Cash flows used in investing activities

Our cash flows used in investing activities is primarily on account of acquisitions and additions of property and equipment.

Cash flows used in investing activities decreased by $2.8 million. This is primarily due to the impact of the purchase consideration for our acquisition of Cordys Holding B.V. in the first quarter of Fiscal 2014, offset by incremental additions to property and equipment of $21.9 million, and a $5.9 million increase in other investing activities.

Cash flows from financing activities

Our cash flows from financing activities 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 dividends and/or the repurchases of our Common Shares.

Cash flows used in financing activities increased by $3.7 million. This is primarily due to a $5.7 million increase in principal payments on our credit facilities, and an increase in dividend payments made to our shareholders of $3.3 million, offset by a $5.3 million increase in cash collected from the issuance of Common Shares.

40

Cash Dividends

In the first quarter of Fiscal 2015, we declared and paid cash dividends of $0.1725 per Common Share that totaled $21.0 million. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination and discretion of our Board of Directors.

Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities

Term Loan A and Revolver

As of September 30, 2014, one of our credit facilities consists of a $600 million term loan facility (Term Loan A) and a $100 million committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver). Borrowings under Term Loan A are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets, and as of January 16, 2014, on a pari passu basis with Term Loan B (as defined below). We entered into this credit facility and borrowed the full amount under Term Loan A on November 9, 2011 and amended certain of its terms on December 16, 2013.

Term Loan A has a five year term and repayments made under Term Loan A are equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount at each quarter for the first 2 years, approximately 1.88% for years 3 and 4 and 2.5% for year 5. Term Loan A bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a fixed amount, depending on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2014, this fixed amount was 2.50%, and the combined interest rate was 2.7%.

The Revolver has a five year term with no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. As of September 30, 2014, we have not drawn any amounts on the Revolver.

Under Term Loan A we must maintain a “consolidated leverage” ratio of no more than 3:1 at the end of each financial quarter. Consolidated leverage ratio is defined for this purpose as the proportion of our total debt, including guarantees and letters of credit, over our trailing twelve months net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges. As of September 30, 2014, our consolidated leverage ratio was 2.15:1.

We must also maintain a “consolidated interest coverage” ratio of 3:1 or more at the end of each financial quarter. Consolidated interest coverage ratio is defined for this purpose as our trailing twelve months net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges, over our consolidated interest expense. As of September 30, 2014, our consolidated interest coverage ratio was 14:1.

We utilize our long-term credit facilities primarily for acquisition activities. Our current position with respect to our loan covenants provides us with additional ability to borrow for potential future acquisition activities.

For more details relating to our Term Loan A, see note 10 "Long-Term Debt" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Term Loan B

In connection with the acquisition of GXS, on January 16, 2014, we entered into a second credit facility, which provides for a $800 million term loan facility with certain lenders named therein, Barclays Bank PLC (Barclays), as sole administrative agent and collateral agent, and with Barclays and RBC Capital Markets as lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (Term Loan B). Repayments made under Term Loan B are equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount in equal quarterly installments for the life of Term Loan B, with the remainder due at maturity.

Borrowings under Term Loan B are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets on a pari passu basis with Term Loan A. We entered into Term Loan B and borrowed the full amount of $800 million on January 16, 2014. Term Loan B has a seven year term.

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 rate for the interest period relevant to such borrowing or (2) an ABR rate determined by reference to the greatest of (i) the prime rate of Barclays, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum and (iii) the one month eurodollar rate plus 1.00% per annum. The applicable margin for borrowings under Term Loan B will be 2.5% with respect to LIBOR borrowings and 1.5% with respect to ABR rate borrowings.

Currently we have chosen for our borrowings under Term Loan B to bear a floating rate of interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.5% plus the higher of LIBOR or 0.75%. As of September 30, 2014, the interest rate was 3.25%.

Term Loan B has incremental facility capacity of (i) $250 million plus (ii) additional amounts, subject to meeting a “consolidated senior secured net leverage” 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 the proportion of our total debt reduced by

41

unrestricted cash, including guarantees and letters of credit, that is secured by our or any of our subsidiaries’ assets, over our 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 leverage ratio 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 twelve months net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous charges. As of September 30, 2014, our consolidated net leverage ratio was 1.33:1.

For further details relating to Term Loan B, please see note 10 "Long-Term Debt" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Mortgage

We currently have an "open" mortgage with a bank where we can pay all or a portion of the mortgage on or before August 1, 2015. The original principal amount of the mortgage was Canadian $15.0 million and interest accrues monthly at a variable rate of Canadian prime plus 0.50%. Principal and interest are payable in monthly installments of Canadian $0.1 million with a final lump sum principal payment due on maturity. The mortgage is secured by a lien on our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. We entered into this mortgage in December 2005. As of September 30, 2014, the carrying value of the mortgage was $9.1 million. As of September 30, 2014, the carrying value of the Waterloo building that secures the mortgage was $15.6 million.

Shelf Registration Statement

In response to the demand and piggyback registration requests we received pursuant to the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of GXS, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the Shelf Registration Statement) with the SEC, which became effective automatically. The Shelf Registration Statement allows for primary and secondary offering 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. A base shelf prospectus qualifying the distribution of such securities was also filed with certain Canadian securities regulators. The type of securities and the specific terms thereof will be determined at the time of any offering and will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement to be filed separately with the SEC and such Canadian securities regulators.

On May 5, 2014, we filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC and certain Canadian securities regulators to allow certain selling shareholders who requested demand and piggyback registration to resell up to 2,583,302 Common Shares.

Pensions

As of September 30, 2014, our total unfunded pension plan obligations were $63.2 million, of which $1.5 million is payable within the next 12 months. We expect to be able to make the long-term and short-term payments related to these obligations in the normal course of operations.

Our anticipated payments under our most significant plans for the fiscal years indicated below are as follows:

	Fiscal years ending June 30,
	CDT		GXS GER		GXS PHP
2015 (nine months ended June 30)	$	446	$	657	$	9

The long-term debt obligations are comprised of interest and principal payments on our term loans and a mortgage on our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. See note 10 "Long-Term Debt" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

We have entered into customer agreements which may include provisions to indemnify our customers against third party claims that our software products or services infringe certain third party intellectual property rights and for liabilities related to a breach of our confidentiality obligations. We have not made any material payments in relation to such indemnification provisions and have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Litigation

We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.

Quarterly, we review the status of each significant legal matter and evaluate such matters to determine how they should be treated for accounting and disclosure purposes in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450-20 "Loss Contingencies" (Topic 450-20). Specifically, this evaluation process includes the centralized tracking and itemization of the status of all our disputes and litigation items, discussing the nature of any litigation and claim, including any dispute or claim that is reasonably likely to result in litigation, with relevant internal and external counsel, and assessing the progress of each matter in light of its merits and our experience with similar proceedings under similar circumstances.

If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with Topic 450-20. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, such aggregated losses were not material to our consolidated financial position or result of operations and we do not believe as of the date of this filing that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding the amounts already recognized will be incurred that would be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Contingencies

EasyLink Services International Corporation (EasyLink) and its United States subsidaries are currently being assessed by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (the Department) for the potential applicability of telecommunications excise and franchise taxes to its New York State revenues for certain pre-acquisition EasyLink revenue. The potential exposure under this assessment, based upon the notice issued by the Department, is approximately $10.5 million and has been accrued for by us. OpenText intends to vigorously defend against this assessment.

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we have inherited a tax dispute in Brazil between the Company’s subsidiary, GXS Tecnologia da Informação (Brasil) Ltda. (GXS Brazil), and the municipality of São Paulo, in connection with GXS Brazil’s judicial appeal of a tax claim in the amount of $2.7 million as of September 30, 2014. We currently have in place a bank guarantee in the amount of $3.7 million in recognition of this dispute. However, we believe that the position of the São Paulo tax authorities is not consistent with the relevant facts and based on information available on the case and other similar matters provided by local counsel, we believe that we can defend our position and that no tax is owed. Although we believe that the facts support our position, the ultimate outcome of this matter could result in a loss of up to the claim amount discussed above, plus future interest or penalties that may accrue.

Historically, prior to our acquisition of GXS, GXS would charge certain costs to its subsidiaries, including GXS Brazil, primarily based on historical transfer pricing studies that were intended to reflect the costs incurred by subsidiaries in relation to

43

services provided by the parent company to the subject subsidiary. GXS recorded taxes on amounts billed, that were considered to be due based on the intercompany charges. GXS subsequently re-evaluated its intercompany charges to GXS Brazil and related taxes and, upon taking into consideration the current environment and judicial proceedings in Brazil, concluded that it was probable that certain indirect taxes would be assessable and payable based upon the accrual of such intercompany charges and accrued approximately $10.2 million for the probable amount of a settlement related to the indirect taxes, interest and penalties.

Our Indian subsidiary, GXS India Technology Centre Private Limited (GXS India), is subject to potential assessments by Indian tax authorities in the city of Bangalore. GXS India has received assessment orders from the Indian tax authorities alleging that the transfer price applied to intercompany transactions was not appropriate. Based on advice from our tax advisors, we believe that the facts that the Indian tax authorities are using to support their assessment are incorrect. We have filed appeals and anticipate an eventual settlement with the Indian tax authorities. We have accrued $1.4 million to cover our anticipated financial exposure in this matter.

The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is examining certain of our tax returns for Fiscal 2010 through Fiscal 2012, and in connection with those examinations is reviewing our internal reorganization in Fiscal 2010 to consolidate certain intellectual property ownership in Luxembourg and Canada and our integration of certain acquisitions into the resulting structure. These examinations may lead to proposed adjustments to our taxes, which may be material, individually or in the aggregate. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no adjustments have been proposed by the IRS, and we have not recorded any material accruals for any such potential adjustments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Please also see "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K to our fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not enter into off-balance sheet financing as a matter of practice except for the use of operating leases for office space, computer equipment, and vehicles. None of the operating leases described in the previous sentence has, and we currently do not believe that they potentially may have, a material effect on our financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, neither the lease liability nor the underlying asset is carried on the balance sheet, as the terms of the leases do not meet the criteria for capitalization.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are primarily exposed to market risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on our term loans and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest rate risk

Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations relate primarily to our Term Loan A and Term Loan B.

As of September 30, 2014, we had an outstanding balance of $502.5 million on Term Loan A. Term Loan A bears a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus a fixed amount, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2014, this fixed amount was 2.5%. An adverse change of one percent on the interest rate would have the effect of increasing our annual interest payment on Term Loan A by approximately $5.0 million, assuming that the loan balance as of September 30, 2014 is outstanding for the entire period.

As of September 30, 2014, we had an outstanding balance of $794.0 million on Term Loan B. Term Loan B bears a floating interest rate of 2.5% plus the higher of LIBOR or 0.75%. As of September 30, 2014, an adverse change of one percent on the interest rate would have the effect of increasing our annual interest payment on Term Loan B by approximately $7.9 million, assuming that the loan balance as of September 30, 2014 is outstanding for the entire period.

At June 30, 2014, an adverse change of one percent would have had the effect of increasing our annual interest payments on Term Loan A and Term Loan B by approximately $5.1 million and $7.96 million, respectively, assuming that the loan balances were outstanding for the entire period.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency transaction risk

We 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 foreign currency exposures. Our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to foreign currency exposures will generally depend on the size and type of cross-currency transactions that we enter into, the currency exchange rates associated with these exposures and changes in those rates. Additionally, we have hedged certain of our Canadian dollar foreign currency exposures relating to our payroll expenses in Canada.

Based on the foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as at September 30, 2014, a one cent change in the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rates would have caused a change of approximately $0.7 million in the mark to market on our existing foreign exchange forward contracts.

At June 30, 2014, a one cent change in the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rates would have caused a change of approximately $1.1 million in the mark to market on our existing foreign exchange forward contracts.

Foreign currency translation risk

Our 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 a significant 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 of each respective reporting period (the offset to which is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

The following table shows our cash and cash equivalents denominated in certain major foreign currencies as of September 30, 2014 (equivalent in U.S. dollar):

45

(In thousands)	U.S. Dollar Equivalent at September 30, 2014		U.S. Dollar Equivalent at June 30, 2014
	2014		2013
Euro	$	73,531	$	85,729
British Pound	16,857		24,552
Canadian Dollar	11,458		6,182
Swiss Franc	7,093		11,735
Other foreign currencies	45,176		60,791
Total cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies	154,115		188,989
U.S. dollar	338,371		238,901
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	492,486	$	427,890

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 would report in equivalent U.S. dollars would decrease by approximately $15.4 million (June 30, 2014—$18.9 million).

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

(A) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As 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 Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified 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 the Exchange Act (according to Rule 13(a)-15(e)) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 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 fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014 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 factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. These are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our operating result, financial condition and liquidity. Our business is also subject to general risks and uncertainties that affect many other companies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Disclosure of Going Concern Uncertainties:

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-15 "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern" (ASU 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 is effective for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the pending adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606” (ASU 2014-09). This update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” and nearly all other existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 identifies five steps to be followed to achieve this core principal, which includes i) identifying contract(s) with customers, ii) identifying performance obligations in the contract, iii) determining the transaction price, iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s) and v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for us in the first quarter of our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. Early adoption is not permitted. When applying ASU 2014-09 we can either apply the amendments: i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09 or ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined within ASU 2014-09. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We are engaged in hedging programs with Canadian chartered banks to limit the potential foreign exchange fluctuations incurred on future cash flows relating to a portion of our Canadian dollar payroll expenses. We operate internationally and are therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business, in particular to changes in the Canadian dollar on account of large costs that are incurred from our centralized Canadian operations, which are denominated in Canadian dollars. As part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments to hedge portions of our payroll exposure. We do not use these forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes. These forward contracts typically mature between one and twelve months.

We have designated these transactions as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions under ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (Topic 815). As the critical terms of the hedging instrument, and of the entire hedged forecasted transaction, are the same, in accordance with Topic 815 we have been able to conclude that changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged are expected to completely offset at inception and on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, quarterly unrealized gains or losses on the effective portion of these forward contracts have been included within other comprehensive income. The fair value of the contracts, as of September 30, 2014, is recorded within “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities”.

As of September 30, 2014, the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was $74.7 million (June 30, 2014—$99.6 million).

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments and Effect of Derivative Instruments on Financial Performance

Business Combinations [Abstract]

Acquisitions

ACQUISITIONS

GXS Group, Inc.

On January 16, 2014, we acquired GXS Group, Inc. (GXS), a Delaware corporation and leader in cloud-based, business-to-business (B2B) integration. The acquisition combines OpenText's Information Exchange portfolio with GXS' portfolio of B2B integration services and managed services. Total consideration for GXS was $1.2 billion, inclusive of the issuance of 2,595,042 OpenText Common Shares on a post stock-split basis. In accordance with Topic 805 "Business Combinations" (Topic 805), this acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

The results of operations of GXS have been consolidated with those of OpenText beginning January 16, 2014.

The following tables summarize the preliminary consideration paid for GXS and the amount of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the preliminary goodwill recorded as of the acquisition date:

Cash consideration paid	$	1,101,874
Equity consideration paid	116,777
Preliminary purchase consideration	$	1,218,651
Acquisition-related costs (included in Special charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income) for the three months ended September 30, 2014	$	141

As set forth in the purchase agreement, $60.0 million of the total cash consideration paid is currently being held by an escrow agent for indemnification purposes and, subject to certain conditions being met, the payout thereof will be released between nine and twelve months from the date of the acquisition.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The preliminary purchase price of GXS has been allocated to GXS' tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. For certain assets and liabilities, the book values as of the balance sheet date have been determined to reflect fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets has been recorded as goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date).

Our preliminary purchase price allocation for GXS is as follows:

Current assets (inclusive of cash acquired of $24,382)	$	127,406
Non-current tangible assets	36,139
Intangible customer assets	364,600
Intangible technology assets	123,200
Liabilities and non-controlling interest assumed	(105,459		)
Total identifiable net assets	545,886
Goodwill	672,765
Net assets acquired	$	1,218,651

The finalization of the above purchase price allocation is pending the determination of the finalization of the fair value for taxation-related balances and for potential unrecorded liabilities. We expect to finalize this determination on or before December 31, 2014.

Adjustments made to goodwill in the first quarter of Fiscal 2015 primarily include reductions of certain tax related liabilities based upon the determination of additional tax attributes available on acquisition.

No portion of the goodwill recorded upon the acquisition of GXS is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of current assets acquired includes accounts receivable with a fair value of $94.3 million. The gross amount receivable was $108.2 million of which $13.9 million of this receivable was expected to be uncollectible.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The information furnished reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.

Additionally, as a result of a two-for-one stock-split effected February 18, 2014 by way of a stock dividend, all historical per share data, number of Common Shares outstanding, and share-based compensation awards presented in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been presented on a post stock-split basis.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable at that time, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. In particular, significant estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) allowance for doubtful accounts, (iii) testing of goodwill for impairment, (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) asset retirement obligations, (x) the realization of investment tax credits, (xi) the valuation of stock options granted and liabilities related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plan, (xii) the valuation of financial instruments, (xiii) the valuation of pension assets and obligations, and (xiv) accounting for income taxes.

Defined Benefit Plans

CDT Plan

CDT sponsors an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all CDT employees (CDT pension plan) which provides for old age, disability and survivors’ benefits. Benefits under the CDT pension plan are generally based on age at retirement, years of service and the employee’s annual earnings. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. No contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. Actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation are being amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan's active employees. As of September 30, 2014, there is approximately $0.3 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the CDT pension plan that is expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the next fiscal year.

GXS Germany Plan

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we acquired an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering certain German employees which provides for old age, disability and survivors' benefits. The GXS GER plan has been closed to new participants since 2006. Benefits under the GXS GER plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, date of hire, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. No contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. If actuarial gains or losses are in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation, such gains or losses will be amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan’s active employees. All information presented below for the GXS GER plan is presented for the period indicated, starting on January 16, 2014, when such plan was assumed by us with the acquisition of GXS.

GXS Philippines Plan

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we acquired a primarily unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of the GXS Philippines employees which provides for retirement, disability and survivors' benefits. Benefits under the GXS PHP plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. Aside from an initial contribution which had a fair value of approximately $36.0 thousand as of September 30, 2014, no additional contributions have been made since the inception of the plan. If actuarial gains or losses are in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation, such gains or losses will be amortized and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of the plan’s active employees. All information presented below for the GXS PHP plan is presented for the period indicated, starting on January 16, 2014, when such plan was assumed by us with the acquisition of GXS.

Other Plans

Other plans include certain defined benefit pension plans that are offered by certain of our foreign subsidiaries. Many of these plans were assumed through our acquisitions or are required by local regulatory requirements. These other plans are primarily unfunded, with the aggregate projected benefit obligation included in our pension liability. The net periodic cost of these plans are determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs.

Share Capital, Option Plans And Share-Based Payments

SHARE CAPITAL, OPTION PLANS AND SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Dividends

Stock Dividend

On January 23, 2014, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock-split of our outstanding Common Shares. The two-for-one stock-split was implemented by way of a stock dividend whereby shareholders received one Common Share for each Common Share held. The record date for the stock dividend was February 7, 2014 and the payment date was February 18, 2014.

As a result of the two-for-one stock-split, all historical per share data, number of Common Shares outstanding and share-based compensation awards are presented on a post stock-split basis.

Cash Dividends

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014, pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, we declared total non-cumulative dividends of $0.1725 per Common Share, in the amount of $21.0 million, which we paid during the same period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, we declared total non-cumulative dividends of $0.15 per Common Share, in the amount of $17.7 million, which we paid during the same period.

Share Capital

Our authorized share capital includes an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of Preference Shares. No Preference Shares have been issued.

Treasury Stock

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not repurchase any of our Common Shares for potential reissuance under our Long Term Incentive Plans (LTIP) or otherwise.

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not reissue any Common Shares from treasury stock.

Share-Based Payments

Total share-based compensation expense for the periods indicated below is detailed as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013
Stock options	$	2,569	$	1,357
Performance Share Units (issued under LTIP)	591		2,168
Restricted Share Units (issued under LTIP)	743		604
Restricted Share Units (other)	75		216
Deferred Share Units (directors)	471		267
Total share-based compensation expense	$	4,449	$	4,612

Summary of Outstanding Stock Options

As of September 30, 2014, options to purchase an aggregate of 4,187,409 Common Shares were outstanding and 3,437,482 Common Shares were available for issuance under our stock option plans. Our stock options generally vest over four years and expire between seven and ten years from the date of the grant. The exercise price of the options is set at an amount that is not less than the closing price of our Common Shares on the NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable grant date.

A summary of activity under our stock option plans for three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 is as follows:

	Options		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic  Value ($’000s)
Outstanding at June 30, 2014	4,273,226		$	36.35
Granted	397,100		56.33
Exercised	(246,745	)	25.35
Forfeited or expired	(236,172	)	37.04
Outstanding at September 30, 2014	4,187,409		$	38.85	5.33	$	69,752
Exercisable at September 30, 2014	768,459		$	23.38	3.21	$	24,625

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

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

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

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013
Weighted–average fair value of options granted	$	14.30		$	7.75
Weighted-average assumptions used:
Expected volatility	32		%	32		%
Risk–free interest rate	1.51		%	1.19		%
Expected dividend yield	1.15		%	1.80		%
Expected life (in years)	4.34			4.36
Forfeiture rate (based on historical rates)	5		%	5		%
Average exercise share price	$	56.33		$	33.17

As of September 30, 2014, the total compensation cost related to the unvested stock option awards not yet recognized was approximately $33.2 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3 years.

No cash was used by us to settle equity instruments granted under share-based compensation arrangements.

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 months endedSeptember 30, 2014, cash in the amount of $6.3 million was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.5 million.

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2013, cash in the amount of $1.2 million was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements. The tax benefit realized by us during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2013 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $0.1 million.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

We incentivize our executive officers, in part, with long term compensation pursuant to our LTIP. The LTIP is a rolling three year program that grants eligible employees a certain number of target Performance Share Units (PSUs) and/or RSUs. Target PSUs become vested upon the satisfaction of certain financial and/or operational performance criteria (the Performance Conditions) that are determined at the time of the grant. Target RSUs become vested when an eligible employee remains employed throughout the vesting period. LTIP grants that have recently vested, or have yet to vest, are described below. LTIP grants will be referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q based upon the year in which the grants are expected to vest and be settled.

Grants made in Fiscal 2012 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2014 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2012 starting on February 3, 2012. Awards made under the Fiscal 2014 LTIP will be issued in the second quarter of Fiscal 2015 in accordance with our insider trading policy, which states, in part, that stock awards may not be issued while a "trading window" is closed. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2014 LTIP awards in stock.

Grants made in Fiscal 2013 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2015 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2013 starting on November 2, 2012 for the RSUs and December 3, 2012 for the PSUs. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. RSUs granted are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2015 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2015 LTIP awards in stock.

Grants made in Fiscal 2014 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2016 LTIP) took effect in Fiscal 2014 starting on November 1, 2013. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. RSUs granted on November 1, 2013 are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2016 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2016 LTIP awards in stock.

Grants made in Fiscal 2015 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as Fiscal 2017 LTIP), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2015 starting on September 4, 2014. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. The RSUs are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the Fiscal 2017 LTIP. We expect to settle the Fiscal 2017 LTIP awards in stock.

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

Expected and actual stock compensation expense for each of the above mentioned LTIP plans is as follows:

						Three Months Ended September 30,
Grants Made Under LTIP	Equity Instrument	Grant Date	End Date	Expected Total LTIP Expense		2014			2013
Fiscal 2013 LTIP	PSU	10/29/2010	9/15/2013	6,489		—			215
Fiscal 2014 LTIP	PSU	2/3/2012	9/15/2014	7,838		420			1,370
Fiscal 2015 LTIP	PSU	12/3/2012	9/15/2015	2,313		(1		)	583
Fiscal 2015 LTIP	RSU	11/2/2012	9/15/2015	3,804		211			604
Fiscal 2016 LTIP	PSU	11/1/2013	9/15/2016	1,638		85			—
Fiscal 2016 LTIP	RSU	11/1/2013	9/15/2016	4,162		329			—
Fiscal 2017 LTIP	PSU	9/4/2014	9/15/2017	3,701		87			—
Fiscal 2017 LTIP	RSU	9/4/2014	9/15/2017	8,645		203			—
				$	38,590	$	1,334		$	2,772

Of the total expected LTIP expense of $38.6 million noted in the table above, $20.7 million has been recognized to date and the remaining expected total compensation cost of $17.9 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

Restricted Share Units (RSUs)

On September 8, 2014, we granted 12,500 RSUs to our Chief Financial Officer, in accordance with his employment agreement. The RSUs will vest equally over three years. We expect to settle the awards in stock.

Deferred Stock Units (DSUs)

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014, we granted 398 DSUs to certain non-employee directors (three months endedSeptember 30, 2013—486 on a post stock-split basis). The DSUs were issued under our Deferred Share Unit Plan. DSUs granted as compensation for directors fees vest immediately, whereas all other DSUs granted vest at our next annual general meeting following the granting of the DSUs. No DSUs are payable by us until the director ceases to be a member of the Board.

Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP)

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014, cash in the amount of approximately $0.8 million was received from employees that will be used to purchase Common Shares in future periods (three months endedSeptember 30, 2013—$0.7 million)

OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan

In the third quarter of Fiscal 2014 and in the context of the acquisition of GXS, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan). These charges relate to workforce reductions and facility consolidations. These charges requires management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate.

As of September 30, 2014, we expect total costs to be incurred in conjunction with the OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan to be approximately $30.0 million, of which $22.1 million has already been recorded within Special charges to date. We expect the OpenText/GXS Restructuring Plan to be substantially completed by the end of our current fiscal year.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 is shown below.

Acquisition-related costs

Included within Special charges for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 are costs incurred directly in relation to acquisitions in the amount of $0.2 million (three months endedSeptember 30, 2013—$0.9 million). Additionally, we incurred costs relating to financial advisory, legal, valuation and audit services and other miscellaneous costs necessary to integrate acquired companies into our organization for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 in the amount of $0.2 million (three months endedSeptember 30, 2013—$0.4 million).

Other charges

Included within "Other charges" for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 is a charge of $0.8 million relating to certain pre-acquisition tax liabilities, the associated interest accrual, and miscellaneous integration costs.

Included within "Other charges" for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2013 is a net recovery of $3.8 million relating to a reduction of certain pre-acquisition tax liabilities, inclusive of an offsetting associated interest accrual. This recovery was offset by a charge of $1.4 million relating to a settlement agreement reached in connection with the acquisition of IXOS Software AG in February 2004.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

We have entered into customer agreements which may include provisions to indemnify our customers against third party claims that our software products or services infringe certain third party intellectual property rights and for liabilities related to a breach of our confidentiality obligations. We have not made any material payments in relation to such indemnification provisions and have not accrued any liabilities related to these indemnification provisions in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Litigation

We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.

Quarterly, we review the status of each significant legal matter and evaluate such matters to determine how they should be treated for accounting and disclosure purposes in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 450-20 "Loss Contingencies" (Topic 450-20). Specifically, this evaluation process includes the centralized tracking and itemization of the status of all our disputes and litigation items, discussing the nature of any litigation and claim, including any dispute or claim that is reasonably likely to result in litigation, with relevant internal and external counsel, and assessing the progress of each matter in light of its merits and our experience with similar proceedings under similar circumstances.

If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with Topic 450-20. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, such aggregated losses were not material to our consolidated financial position or result of operations and we do not believe as of the date of this filing that it is reasonably possible that a loss exceeding the amounts already recognized will be incurred that would be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Contingencies

EasyLink Services International Corporation (EasyLink) and its United States subsidaries are currently being assessed by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (the Department) for the potential applicability of telecommunications excise and franchise taxes to its New York State revenues for certain pre-acquisition EasyLink revenue. The potential exposure under this assessment, based upon the notice issued by the Department, is approximately $10.5 million and has been accrued for by us. OpenText intends to vigorously defend against this assessment.

As part of our acquisition of GXS, we have inherited a tax dispute in Brazil between the Company’s subsidiary, GXS Tecnologia da Informação (Brasil) Ltda. (GXS Brazil), and the municipality of São Paulo, in connection with GXS Brazil’s judicial appeal of a tax claim in the amount of $2.7 million as of September 30, 2014. We currently have in place a bank guarantee in the amount of $3.7 million in recognition of this dispute. However, we believe that the position of the São Paulo tax authorities is not consistent with the relevant facts and based on information available on the case and other similar matters provided by local counsel, we believe that we can defend our position and that no tax is owed. Although we believe that the facts support our position, the ultimate outcome of this matter could result in a loss of up to the claim amount discussed above, plus future interest or penalties that may accrue.

Historically, prior to our acquisition of GXS, GXS would charge certain costs to its subsidiaries, including GXS Brazil, primarily based on historical transfer pricing studies that were intended to reflect the costs incurred by subsidiaries in relation to services provided by the parent company to the subject subsidiary. GXS recorded taxes on amounts billed, that were considered to be due based on the intercompany charges. GXS subsequently re-evaluated its intercompany charges to GXS Brazil and related taxes and, upon taking into consideration the current environment and judicial proceedings in Brazil, concluded that it was probable that certain indirect taxes would be assessable and payable based upon the accrual of such intercompany charges and accrued approximately $10.2 million for the probable amount of a settlement related to the indirect taxes, interest and penalties.

Our Indian subsidiary, GXS India Technology Centre Private Limited (GXS India), is subject to potential assessments by Indian tax authorities in the city of Bangalore. GXS India has received assessment orders from the Indian tax authorities alleging that the transfer price applied to intercompany transactions was not appropriate. Based on advice from our tax advisors, we believe that the facts that the Indian tax authorities are using to support their assessment are incorrect. We have filed appeals and anticipate an eventual settlement with the Indian tax authorities. We have accrued $1.4 million to cover our anticipated financial exposure in this matter.

The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is examining certain of our tax returns for Fiscal 2010 through Fiscal 2012, and in connection with those examinations is reviewing our internal reorganization in Fiscal 2010 to consolidate certain intellectual property ownership in Luxembourg and Canada and our integration of certain acquisitions into the resulting structure. These examinations may lead to proposed adjustments to our taxes, which may be material, individually or in the aggregate. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no adjustments have been proposed by the IRS, and we have not recorded any material accruals for any such potential adjustments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Term Loan A and Revolver

As of September 30, 2014, one of our credit facilities consists of a $600 million term loan facility (Term Loan A) and a $100 million committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver). Borrowings under Term Loan A are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets, and as of January 16, 2014, on a pari passu basis with Term Loan B (as defined below). We entered into this credit facility and borrowed the full amount under Term Loan A on November 9, 2011.

Term Loan A has a five year term and repayments made under Term Loan A are equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount at each quarter for the first 2 years, approximately 1.88% for years 3 and 4 and 2.5% for year 5. Term Loan A bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a fixed amount, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2014, this fixed amount was 2.5%.

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014, we recorded interest expense of $3.7 million relating to Term Loan A (three months endedSeptember 30, 2013—$3.5 million).

The Revolver has a five year term with no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. As of September 30, 2014, we have not drawn any amounts on the Revolver.

Term Loan B

In connection with the acquisition of GXS Group, Inc. (GXS), on January 16, 2014, we entered into a second credit facility, which provides for a $800 million term loan facility (Term Loan B).

Borrowings under Term Loan B are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets on a pari passu basis with Term Loan A. We entered into Term Loan B and borrowed the full amount on January 16, 2014.

Term Loan B has a seven year term and repayments made under Term Loan B are equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount in equal quarterly 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 interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.5% plus the higher of LIBOR or 0.75%.

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014, we recorded interest expense of $6.6 million relating to Term Loan B.

Mortgage

We currently have an "open" mortgage with a Canadian bank where we can pay all or a portion of the mortgage on or before August 1, 2015. The original principal amount of the mortgage was Canadian $15.0 million and interest accrues monthly at a variable rate of Canadian prime plus 0.50%. Principal and interest are payable in monthly installments of Canadian $0.1 million with a final lump sum principal payment due on maturity. The mortgage is secured by a lien on our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. We first entered into this mortgage in December 2005.

As of September 30, 2014, the carrying value of the mortgage was approximately $9.1 million (June 30, 2014—$9.6 million).

As of September 30, 2014, the carrying value of the Waterloo building that secures the mortgage was $15.6 million (June 30, 2014—$15.6 million).

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014, we recorded interest expense of $0.1 million, relating to the mortgage (three months endedSeptember 30, 2013—$0.1 million).

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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

• Level 1—inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

• Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

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

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following types of instruments as of September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014:

	$	(3,118	)	n/a		$	(3,118	)	n/a	$	756	n/a		$	756	n/a

Our valuation technique used to measure the fair values of our marketable securities were derived from quoted market prices as an active market for these securities exist. Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair values of the derivative instruments, the counterparty to which has high credit ratings, were derived from pricing models including discounted cash flow techniques, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data, as no quoted market prices exist for the derivative instruments. Our discounted cash flow techniques use observable market inputs, such as foreign currency spot and forward rates.

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

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 and 2013, no indications of impairment were identified and therefore no fair value measurements were required.

If applicable, we will recognize transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the actual event or change in circumstance occurs. During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not have any significant transfers in or out of Level 2 or Level 3.

Earnings Per Share

PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income, attributable to OpenText, by the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income, attributable to OpenText, by the shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share plus the dilutive effect of Common Share equivalents, such as stock options, using the treasury stock method. Common Share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Related Party Transactions

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Our procedure regarding the approval of any related party transaction requires that the material facts of such transaction be reviewed by the independent members of our Board and the transaction be approved by a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Board reviews all transactions in which we are, or will be, a participant and any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest. In determining whether to approve a related party transaction, the Board generally takes into account, among other facts it deems appropriate, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; the extent and nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction; the benefits to the Company of the proposed transaction; if applicable, the effects on a director’s independence; and if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable services or products.

During the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014, Mr. Stephen Sadler, a director, earned $4.0 thousand (three months endedSeptember 30, 2013—$0.2 million) in consulting fees from OpenText for assistance with acquisition-related business activities. Mr. Sadler abstained from voting on all transactions from which he would potentially derive consulting fees.

Income Taxes

INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate represents the net effect of the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions that are subject to a wide range of income tax rates.

We recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

For the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014 and 2013, we recognized the following amounts as income tax-related interest expense and penalties:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013
Interest expense	$	2,004	$	2,328
Penalties expense	48		238
Total	$	2,052	$	2,566

As of September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the following amounts have been accrued on account of income tax-related interest expense and penalties:

	As of September 30, 2014		As of June 30, 2014
Interest expense accrued *	$	28,014	$	26,235
Penalties accrued *	$	7,649	$	7,858

* These balances have been included within "Long-term income taxes payable" within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We believe that it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits, as of September 30, 2014, could decrease tax expense in the next 12 months by $18.9 million, relating primarily to the expiration of competent authority relief and tax years becoming statute barred for purposes of future tax examinations by local taxing jurisdictions.

Our four most significant tax jurisdictions are Canada, the United States, Luxembourg and Germany. Our tax filings remain subject to audits by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. Tax years that remain open to tax audits by local taxing authorities vary by jurisdiction up to ten years.

We are subject to tax audits in all major taxing jurisdictions in which we operate and currently have tax audits open in Canada, the United States, France, Spain, Germany, India, the Netherlands and Italy. On a quarterly basis we assess the status of these examinations and the potential for adverse outcomes to determine the adequacy of the provision for income and other taxes. Statements regarding the United States audits are included in note 13.

The timing of the resolution of income tax audits is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities or possibly reach resolution of income tax audits in one or more jurisdictions. These assessments or settlements may or may not result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on tax filings. The actual amount of any change could vary significantly depending on the ultimate timing and nature of any settlements. We cannot currently provide an estimate of the range of possible outcomes.

As at September 30, 2014, we have provided $8.2 million (June 30, 2014—$7.6 million) in respect of both additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities for temporary differences related to the undistributed earnings of certain non-United States subsidiaries, and planned periodic repatriations from certain United States and Luxembourg subsidiaries, that will be subject to withholding taxes upon distribution. We have not provided for additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities related to undistributed earnings of all other non-Canadian subsidiaries, since such earnings are considered permanently invested in those subsidiaries, or are not subject to withholding taxes. It is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amount of additional deferred income tax liabilities or foreign withholding taxes that may be payable should these earnings be distributed in the future.

The effective GAAP tax rate (which is the provision for taxes expressed as a percentage of net income before taxes) decreased to 21.2% for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2014, from 38.2% for the three months endedSeptember 30, 2013, primarily due to a decrease in the net change in valuation allowance in the amount of $2.0 million and a decrease in the net expense of unrecognized tax benefits with related interest and penalties in the amount of $1.2 million. The remainder of the differences are due to normal course movements and non-material items.
