NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

(Tabular amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

(unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Open Text Corporation and our subsidiaries, collectively referred to as "OpenText" or the "Company". We wholly own all of our subsidiaries with the exception of Open Text South Africa Proprietary Ltd. (OT South Africa) and EC1 Pte. Ltd. (GXS Singapore), which as of September 30, 2021, were 70% and 81% owned, respectively, by OpenText. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we made a final cash distribution of $0.4 million to the non-controlling interest holder in GXS Singapore, as part of the ongoing process to liquidate the subsidiary, which is expected to be complete by the end of Fiscal 2022.

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q: (i) the term "Fiscal 2022" means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2022; (ii) the term "Fiscal 2021" means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2020 and ended June 30, 2021; (iii) the term “Fiscal 2020” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2019 and ended June 30, 2020; (iv) the term “Fiscal 2019” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2018 and ended June 30, 2019; (v) the term “Fiscal 2018” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2017 and ended June 30, 2018; (vi) the term “Fiscal 2017” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2016 and ended June 30, 2017; (vii) the term “Fiscal 2016” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2015 and ended June 30, 2016; (viii) the term “Fiscal 2015” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2014 and ended June 30, 2015; (ix) the term “Fiscal 2014” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2013 and ended June 30, 2014; (x) the term “Fiscal 2013” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2012 and ended June 30, 2013; and (xi) the term “Fiscal 2012” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2011 and ended 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.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We 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, key estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) accounting for income taxes, (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) the valuation of stock options granted and obligations related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plans, and (x) the valuation of pension obligations.

In March 2020, COVID-19 was characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The spread of COVID-19 continues to impact the global economy. As the impacts of the pandemic continue to evolve, estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require increased judgment. As of September 30, 2021, we have recorded certain estimates resulting from the pandemic, particularly with respect to the COVID-19 Restructuring Plan (as defined herein) and allowance for credit losses, based on management's estimates and assumptions utilizing the most currently available information. Such estimates may be subject to change particularly given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to monitor the potential impact of COVID-19 on our financial statements and related disclosures, including the need for additional estimates going forward, which could include costs related to potential items such as special charges (recoveries), restructurings, asset impairments and other non-recurring costs. Please see note 18 "Special Charges (Recoveries)" and "Risk Factors" included within Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021.

NOTE 2—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in Fiscal 2022

During Fiscal 2022, we have adopted the following Accounting Standards Update (ASU) that did not have a material impact to our reported financial position, results of operations or cash flows:

•ASU 2019-12 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes"

NOTE 3—REVENUES

Disaggregation of Revenue

We have four revenue streams: cloud services and subscriptions, customer support, license, and professional service and other. The following tables disaggregate our revenue by significant geographic area, based on the location of our end customer, by type of performance obligation and timing of revenue recognition for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020
Total Revenues by Geography:
Americas (1)	$	519,692	$	508,656
EMEA (2)	244,597		225,935
Asia Pacific (3)	68,019		69,422
Total revenues	$	832,308	$	804,013

Total Revenues by Type of Performance Obligation:
Recurring revenues (4)
Cloud services and subscriptions revenue	$	356,589	$	340,986
Customer support revenue	335,237		329,399
Total recurring revenues	$	691,826	$	670,385
License revenue (perpetual, term and subscriptions)	73,529		68,523
Professional service and other revenue	66,953		65,105
Total revenues	$	832,308	$	804,013
Total Revenues by Timing of Revenue Recognition:
Point in time	$	73,529	$	68,523
Over time (including professional service and other revenue)	758,779		735,490
Total revenues	$	832,308	$	804,013

(1) Americas consists of countries in North, Central and South America.

(2) EMEA primarily consists of countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

(3) Asia Pacific primarily consists of Japan, Australia, China, Korea, Philippines, Singapore, India and New Zealand.

(4) Recurring revenue is defined as the sum of Cloud services and subscriptions revenue and Customer support revenue.

Contract Balances

A contract asset, net of allowance for credit losses, will be recorded if we have recognized revenue but do not have an unconditional right to the related consideration from the customer. For example, this will be the case if implementation services offered in a cloud arrangement are identified as a separate performance obligation and are provided to a customer prior to us being able to bill the customer. In addition, a contract asset may arise in relation to subscription licenses if the license revenue that is recognized upfront exceeds the amount that we are able to invoice the customer at that time. Contract assets are reclassified to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional.

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

	As of September 30, 2021		As of June 30, 2021
Short-term contract assets	$	24,312	$	25,344
Long-term contract assets	$	19,550	$	19,222
Short-term deferred revenues	$	814,989	$	852,629
Long-term deferred revenues	$	95,930	$	98,989

The difference in the opening and closing balances of our contract assets and deferred revenues primarily results from the timing difference between our performance and the customer’s payments. We fulfill our obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products and services in exchange for consideration from the customer. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we reclassified $8.1 million of contract assets to receivables as a result of the right to the transaction consideration becoming unconditional. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, there was no significant impairment loss recognized related to contract assets.

We recognize deferred revenue when we have received consideration or an amount of consideration is due from the customer for future obligations to transfer products or services. Our deferred revenues primarily relate to customer support agreements which have been paid for by customers prior to the performance of those services. The amount of revenue that was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2021 that was included in the deferred revenue balances at June 30, 2021 was $359 million (three months ended September 30, 2020—$343 million).

Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract with a Customer

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract include only those costs that we incur to obtain a contract that we would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained, such as sales commissions. The following table summarizes the changes in total capitalized costs to obtain a contract, since June 30, 2021:

Capitalized costs to obtain a contract as of June 30, 2021	$	72,900
New capitalized costs incurred	7,122
Amortization of capitalized costs	(6,170)
Impact of foreign exchange rate changes	(524)
Capitalized costs to obtain a contract as of September 30, 2021	$	73,328

During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, there was no significant impairment loss recognized related to capitalized costs to obtain a contract. Refer to note 9 "Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets" for additional information on incremental costs of obtaining a contract.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of September 30, 2021, approximately $1.4 billion of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations on existing contracts. We expect to recognize approximately 46% of this amount over the next 12 months and the remaining balance substantially over the next three years thereafter. We apply the practical expedient and do not disclose performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

NOTE 4—ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The following illustrates the activity in our allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable, since June 30, 2021:

Balance as of June 30, 2021	$	22,151
Credit loss expense (recovery)	(935)
Write-off / adjustments	(2,573)
Balance as of September 30, 2021	$	18,643

Included in accounts receivable are unbilled receivables in the amount of $48.4 million as of September 30, 2021 (June 30, 2021—$51.4 million).

As of September 30, 2021, we have an allowance for credit losses of $0.6 million for contract assets (June 30, 2021—$0.4 million). For additional information on contract assets please see note 3 "Revenues".

Senior Unsecured Fixed Rate Notes

Senior Notes 2030

On February 18, 2020, OpenText Holdings, Inc. a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, issued $900 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes due 2030 guaranteed by the Company (Senior Notes 2030) in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), and to certain persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Senior Notes 2030 bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, commencing on August 15, 2020. Senior Notes 2030 will mature on February 15, 2030, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms, or repurchased.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded interest expense of $9.3 million relating to Senior Notes 2030 (three months ended September 30, 2020—$9.2 million).

Senior Notes 2028

On February 18, 2020, we issued $900 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Senior Notes due 2028 (Senior Notes 2028) in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Senior Notes 2028 bear interest at a rate of 3.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, commencing on August 15, 2020. Senior Notes 2028 will mature on February 15, 2028, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms, or repurchased.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded interest expense of $8.7 million relating to Senior Notes 2028 (three months ended September 30, 2020—$8.6 million).

    Senior Notes 2026

On May 31, 2016, we issued $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (Senior Notes 2026) in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Senior Notes 2026 bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, commencing on December 1, 2016. Senior Notes 2026 will mature on June 1, 2026, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms, or repurchased.

On December 20, 2016, we issued an additional $250 million in aggregate principal amount by reopening our Senior Notes 2026 at an issue price of 102.75%. The additional notes have identical terms, are fungible with and are a part of a single series with the previously issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes 2026. The outstanding aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes 2026, after taking into consideration the additional issuance, is $850 million.

15

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded interest expense of $12.5 million relating to Senior Notes 2026 (three months ended September 30, 2020—$12.5 million).

Term Loan B

On May 30, 2018, we refinanced our existing term loan facility, by entering into a new $1 billion term loan facility (Term Loan B), whereby we borrowed $1 billion on that day and repaid in full the loans under our prior $800 million term loan facility originally entered into on January 16, 2014. Borrowings under Term Loan B are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets on a pari passu basis with the Revolver (defined below).

Term Loan B has a seven year term, maturing in May 2025, and repayments made under Term Loan B are equal to 0.25% of the principal amount in 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 equal to 1.75% plus LIBOR. As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding balance on the Term Loan B bears an interest rate of 1.84%. For more information regarding the impact of LIBOR, see "Stress in the global financial system may adversely affect our finances and operations in ways that may be hard to predict or to defend against" included within Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021.

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, 2021, our consolidated net leverage ratio was 1.4:1.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded interest expense of $4.6 million relating to Term Loan B (three months ended September 30, 2020—$4.8 million).

Revolver

On October 31, 2019, we amended our committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver) to increase the total commitments under the Revolver from $450 million to $750 million as well as to extend the maturity from May 5, 2022 to October 31, 2024. Borrowings under the Revolver are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets, on a pari passu basis with Term Loan B. The Revolver has no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest per annum at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a fixed margin dependent on our consolidated net leverage ratio ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. For more information regarding the impact of LIBOR, see "Stress in the global financial system may adversely affect our finances and operations in ways that may be hard to predict or to defend against" included within Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, we had no outstanding balance under the Revolver (June 30, 2021—nil). For the three months ended September 30, 2021 we did not record any interest expense relating to the Revolver (three months ended September 30, 2020—$3.0 million relating to amounts previously drawn).

Debt Issuance Costs and Premium on Senior Notes

Debt issuance costs relate primarily to costs incurred for the purpose of obtaining our credit facilities and issuing our Senior Notes 2026, Senior Notes 2028 and Senior Notes 2030 (collectively referred to as the Senior Notes) and are being amortized through interest expense over the respective terms of the Senior Notes and Term Loan B and the Revolver using the effective interest method.

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

Defined Benefit Plans

CDT Plan

CDT sponsors an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all CDT employees (CDT plan) which provides for old age, disability and survivors’ benefits. Benefits under the CDT plan are generally based on age at retirement, years of service and the employee’s annual earnings. The net 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.

GXS GER Plan

As part of our acquisition of GXS Group, Inc. (GXS) in Fiscal 2014, we assumed an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering certain German employees which provides for old age, disability and survivors' benefits. The GXS GER plan has been closed to new participants since 2006. Benefits under the GXS GER plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, date of hire, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. No contributions have been made since the inception of the plan.

GXS PHP Plan

As part of our acquisition of GXS in Fiscal 2014, we assumed a primarily unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of the GXS Philippines employees which provides for retirement, disability and survivors' benefits. Benefits under the GXS PHP plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. Aside from an initial contribution which has a fair value of $0.04 million as of September 30, 2021, no additional contributions have been made since the inception of the plan.

Other Plans

Other plans include 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 costs 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 13—SHARE CAPITAL, OPTION PLANS AND SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Cash Dividends

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, we declared total non-cumulative dividends of $0.2209 per Common Share in the aggregate amount of $59.9 million, which we paid during the same period (three months ended September 30, 2020—$0.1746 per Common Share, in the aggregate amount of $47.3 million).

Share Capital

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

Treasury Stock

From time to time we may provide funds to an independent agent to facilitate repurchases of our Common Shares in connection with the settlement of awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plans (LTIP) or other plans.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we did not repurchase any of our Common Shares on the open market for potential reissuance under our LTIP or other plans as described below (three months ended September 30, 2020—965,154 Common Shares, respectively, at a cost of $41.9 million).

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we reissued 141,452 Common Shares from treasury stock in connection with the settlement of awards and other plans (three months ended September 30, 2020—193,680 Common Shares).

Share Repurchase Plan

On November 5, 2020, the Board authorized a share repurchase plan (Repurchase Plan), pursuant to which we may purchase in open market transactions, from time to time over the 12 month period commencing November 12, 2020, up to an aggregate of $350 million of our Common Shares.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we did not repurchase any of our Common Shares under the Repurchase Plan.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we announced on November 4, 2021 authorization of a share repurchase plan pursuant to which we may purchase in open market transactions, from time to time over the 12 month period commencing November 12, 2021, up to an aggregate of $350 million of our Common Shares. Please see note 25 "Subsequent Events" for additional details.

Share-Based Payments

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

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020
Stock options	$	4,267	$	3,294
Performance Share Units (issued under LTIP)	3,445		2,484

Restricted Share Units (other)	1,728		1,986
Deferred Share Units (directors)	830		738
Employee Stock Purchase Plan	1,498		1,232
Total share-based compensation expense	$	13,934	$	11,736

Summary of Outstanding Stock Options

As of September 30, 2021, an aggregate of 8,084,264 options to purchase Common Shares were outstanding and an additional 10,484,700 options to purchase Common Shares were available for issuance under our stock option plans. Our stock options generally vest over four years and expire between seven and ten years from the date of the grant. Currently we also have options outstanding that vest over five years, as well as options outstanding that vest based on meeting certain market conditions. The exercise price of all our options is set at an amount that is not less than the closing price of our Common Shares on the NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable grant date.

A summary of activity under our stock option plans for the three months ended September 30, 2021 is as follows:

	Options	Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($’000's)
Outstanding at June 30, 2021	8,113,574	$	40.16	4.88	$	86,297
Granted	950,360	52.62
Exercised	(796,187)	34.29
Forfeited or expired	(183,483)	44.93
Outstanding at September 30, 2021	8,084,264	$	42.10	5.03	$	57,378
Exercisable at September 30, 2021	2,343,797	$	36.22	3.59	$	29,347

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

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

20

For the periods indicated, the weighted-average fair value of options and weighted-average assumptions estimated under the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2021			2020
Weighted–average fair value of options granted	$	9.75		$	8.50
Weighted-average assumptions used:
Expected volatility	26.62		%	26.12		%
Risk–free interest rate	0.55		%	0.20		%
Expected dividend yield	1.56		%	1.52		%
Expected life (in years)	4.16			4.72
Forfeiture rate (based on historical rates)	7		%	7		%
Average exercise share price	$	52.62		$	45.81

As of September 30, 2021, the total compensation cost related to the unvested stock option awards not yet recognized was $42.6 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

No cash was used by us to settle equity instruments granted under share-based compensation arrangements in any of the periods presented.

We have not capitalized any share-based compensation costs as part of the cost of an asset in any of the periods presented.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $15.4 million (three months ended September 30, 2020—$5.2 million).

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, cash in the amount of $27.3 million was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements (three months ended September 30, 2020—$8.6 million).

The tax benefit realized by us during the three months ended September 30, 2021 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $1.3 million (three months ended September 30, 2020—$0.7 million).

Long-Term Incentive Plans

We incentivize certain eligible employees, in part, with long-term compensation pursuant to our LTIP. The LTIP is a rolling three year program that grants eligible employees a certain number of target Performance Share Units (PSUs) and/or Restricted Share Units (RSUs). Target PSUs become vested upon the achievement of certain financial and/or operational performance criteria (the Performance Conditions) that are determined at the time of the grant. Target RSUs become vested when an eligible employee remains employed throughout the vesting period.

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. 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. Stock options granted under the LTIPs have been measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, consistent with Topic 718.

As of September 30, 2021, the total expected compensation cost related to the unvested LTIP awards not yet recognized was $59.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

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

LTIP 2021

Grants made in Fiscal 2019 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as LTIP 2021), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2019 starting on August 6, 2018. 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 LTIP 2021. We expect to settle the LTIP 2021 awards in stock during the second quarter of Fiscal 2022.

LTIP 2022

Grants made in Fiscal 2020 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as LTIP 2022), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2020 starting on August 5, 2019. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. The RSUs are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the LTIP 2022. We expect to settle the LTIP 2022 awards in stock.

21

LTIP 2023

Grants made in Fiscal 2021 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as LTIP 2023), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2021 starting on August 10, 2020. 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 LTIP 2023. We expect to settle the LTIP 2023 awards in stock.

LTIP 2024

Grants made in Fiscal 2022 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as LTIP 2024), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2022 starting on August 9, 2021. 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 LTIP 2024. We expect to settle the LTIP 2024 awards in stock.

Restricted Share Units (RSUs)

In addition to the grants made in connection with the LTIP plans discussed above, from time to time, we may grant RSUs to certain employees in accordance with employment and other non-LTIP related agreements. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we did not grant any such RSUs to employees (three months ended September 30, 2020—484,956 RSUs). RSUs vest over a specified contract date, typically three years from the respective date of grants.

As of September 30, 2021, the total expected compensation cost related to the unvested RSU awards not yet recognized was $6.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years. We expect to settle RSU awards in stock.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we issued 141,452 Common Shares from treasury stock in connection with the settlement of vested RSUs, with a cost of $5.9 million (three months ended September 30, 2020—nil).

Deferred Share Units (DSUs)

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we granted 5,335 DSUs, to certain non-employee directors (three months ended September 30, 2020—3,667 DSUs). The DSUs were issued under our Deferred Share Unit Plan. DSUs granted as compensation for director fees vest immediately, whereas all other DSUs granted vest at our next annual general meeting following the granting of the DSUs. No DSUs are payable by us until the director ceases to be a member of the Board.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we did not issue any of our Common Shares from treasury stock in connection with the settlement of vested DSUs (three months ended September 30, 2020—nil).

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

Our ESPP offers employees a purchase price discount of 15%.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, 225,731 Common Shares were eligible for issuance to employees enrolled in the ESPP (three months ended September 30, 2020—200,772 Common Shares).

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, cash in the amount of $9.4 million was received from employees relating to the ESPP (three months ended September 30, 2020—$7.2 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.

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

Litigation

We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.

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

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

Contingencies

CRA Matter

As part of its ongoing audit of our Canadian tax returns, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has disputed our transfer pricing methodology used for certain intercompany transactions with our international subsidiaries and has issued notices of reassessment for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016. Assuming the utilization of available tax attributes (further described below), we estimate our potential aggregate liability, as of September 30, 2021, in connection with the CRA's reassessments for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016, to be limited to penalties, interest and provincial taxes that may be due of approximately $72 million. As of September 30, 2021, we have provisionally paid approximately $28 million in order to fully preserve our rights to object to the CRA's audit positions, being the minimum payment required under Canadian legislation while the matter is in dispute. This amount is recorded within "Long-term income taxes recoverable" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2021.

The notices of reassessment for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016 would, as drafted, increase our taxable income by approximately $90 million to $100 million for each of those years, as well as impose a 10% penalty on the proposed adjustment to income. Audits by the CRA of our tax returns for fiscal years prior to Fiscal 2012 have been completed with no reassessment of our income tax liability.

We strongly disagree with the CRA's positions and believe the reassessments of Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016 (including any penalties) are without merit. We have filed notices of objection for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016. We are currently seeking competent authority consideration under applicable international treaties in respect of these reassessments.

Even if we are unsuccessful in challenging the CRA's reassessments to increase our taxable income for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016, we have elective deductions available for those years (including carry-backs from later years) that would offset such increased amounts so that no additional cash tax would be payable, exclusive of any assessed penalties and interest, as described above.

The CRA is also currently auditing Fiscal 2017 on a basis that we strongly disagree with and will vigorously contest. The focus of the CRA audit has been the valuation of certain intellectual property and goodwill when one of our subsidiaries continued into Canada from Luxembourg in July 2016. In accordance with applicable rules, these assets were recognized for tax purposes at fair market value as of that time, which value was supported by an expert valuation prepared by an independent

23

leading accounting and advisory firm. In conjunction with the Fiscal 2017 audit, the CRA issued a proposal letter dated April 7, 2021 (Proposal Letter) indicating to us that it proposes to reassess our Fiscal 2017 tax year to reduce the depreciable basis of these assets. We are currently engaged in dialogue with the CRA regarding the 2017 audit and have made extensive submissions in support of our position. CRA’s currently-proposed position for Fiscal 2017 relies in significant part on the application of its positions regarding our transfer pricing methodology that are the basis for its reassessment of our fiscal years 2012 to 2016 described above, and that we believe are without merit. Other aspects of CRA’s currently-proposed position for Fiscal 2017 conflict with the expert valuation prepared by the independent leading accounting and advisory firm that was used to support our original filing position. If the CRA determines to issue a notice of reassessment in respect of Fiscal 2017 on the basis of its position set forth in the Proposal Letter and we are ultimately unsuccessful in defending our position, the estimated impact of the proposed adjustment could result in us recording an income tax expense, with no immediate cash payment, to reduce the stated value of our deferred tax assets of up to approximately $470 million. Any such income tax expense could also have a corresponding cash tax impact that would primarily occur over a period of several future years based upon annual income realization in Canada. We strongly disagree with the CRA’s position for Fiscal 2017 and intend to vigorously defend our original filing position.

We will continue to vigorously contest the proposed adjustments to our taxable income and any penalty and interest assessments, as well as any proposed reduction to the basis of our depreciable property. We are confident that our original tax filing positions were appropriate. Accordingly, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not recorded any accruals in respect of these reassessments or proposed reassessment in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The CRA is currently in preliminary stages of auditing Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2019.

Carbonite Class Action Complaint

On August 1, 2019, prior to our acquisition of Carbonite, a purported stockholder of Carbonite filed a putative class action complaint against Carbonite, its former Chief Executive Officer, Mohamad S. Ali, and its former Chief Financial Officer, Anthony Folger, in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts captioned Ruben A. Luna, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Carbonite, Inc., Mohamad S. Ali, and Anthony Folger (No. 1:19-cv-11662-LTS). The complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint generally alleges that the defendants made materially false and misleading statements in connection with Carbonite’s Server Backup VM Edition, and seeks, among other things, the designation of the action as a class action, an award of unspecified compensatory damages, costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees, and other relief as the court deems appropriate. On August 23, 2019, a nearly identical complaint was filed in the same court captioned William Feng, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Carbonite, Inc., Mohamad S. Ali, and Anthony Folger (No. 1:19- cv-11808-LTS) (together with the Luna Complaint, the “Securities Actions”). On November 21, 2019, the court consolidated the Securities Actions, appointed a lead plaintiff, and designated a lead counsel. On January 15, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint generally making the same allegations and seeking the same relief as the complaint filed on August 1, 2019. The defendants moved to dismiss the Securities Actions on March 10, 2020. The motion was fully briefed in June 2020 and a hearing on the motion to dismiss the Securities Actions was held on October 15, 2020. Following the hearing, on October 22, 2020, the court granted with prejudice the defendants’ motion to dismiss the Securities Actions. On November 20, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. The appeal has been fully briefed and oral arguments before the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit were held on July 29, 2021. The court’s decision on the appeal is expected in the coming months and the defendants remain confident in the District Court’s dismissal with prejudice of the Securities Actions.

Carbonite vs Realtime Data

On February 27, 2017, before our acquisition of Carbonite, a non-practicing entity named Realtime Data LLC (Realtime Data) filed a lawsuit against Carbonite in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas "Realtime Data LLC v. Carbonite, Inc. et al (No 6:17-cv-00121-RWS-JDL)." Therein, it alleged that certain of Carbonite’s cloud storage services infringe upon certain patents held by Realtime Data. Realtime Data’s complaint against Carbonite sought damages in an unspecified amount and injunctive relief. On December 19, 2017, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas transferred the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts (No. 1:17-cv-12499). Realtime Data has also filed numerous other patent suits on the same asserted patents against other companies. After a stay pending appeal in one of those suits, on January 21, 2021, the Court held a hearing to construe the claims of the asserted patents. As to the fourth patent asserted against Carbonite, on September 24, 2019, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office Patent Trial and Appeal Board invalidated certain claims of that patent, including certain claims that had been asserted against Carbonite. The parties then jointly stipulated to dismiss that patent from this action. On August 23, 2021, in one of the suits against other companies, the District of Delaware (No. 1:17-cv-800), held all of the patents asserted against Carbonite to be invalid. Realtime Data has appealed that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We continue to vigorously defend the matter, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts indicated, on September 30, 2021, that it will issue a claim construction

24

order before staying the case pending the appeal in the related case. We have not accrued a loss contingency related to this matter because litigation related to a non-practicing entity is inherently unpredictable. Although a loss is reasonably possible, an unfavorable outcome is not considered by management to be probable at this time and we remain unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of loss associated with this litigation.

Please also see Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021.

NOTE 15—INCOME TAXES

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

The effective tax rate decreased to a provision of 24.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a provision of 29.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Tax expense increased from $42.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $43.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021. This was primarily due to (i) an increase of $8.3 million relating to higher net income including the impact of foreign rates and (ii) an increase of $7.6 million related to tax benefits of internal reorganizations in Fiscal 2021 that did not reoccur in Fiscal 2022. These were partially offset by (i) a decrease of $4.1 million related to the US Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax (US BEAT), (ii) a decrease of $3.5 million for changes in unrecognized tax benefits, (iii) a decrease of $3.2 million related to differences in tax filings being lower than estimates and (iv) a decrease of $1.2 million related to permanent differences. The remainder of the difference was due to normal course movements and non-material items.

We recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, we recognized the following amounts as income tax-related interest expense and penalties:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020
Interest expense (recoveries)	$	99	$	2,549
Penalties expense (recoveries)	(25)		(322)
Total	$	74	$	2,227

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

	As of September 30, 2021		As of June 30, 2021
Interest expense accrued (1)	$	5,376	$	5,166
Penalties accrued (1)	$	2,556	$	2,605

(1) These balances are primarily included within "Long-term income taxes payable" within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We believe that it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits, as of September 30, 2021, could decrease tax expense in the next 12 months by $3.7 million, relating primarily to the expiration of competent authority relief and tax years becoming statute barred for purposes of future tax examinations by local taxing jurisdictions.

Our four most significant tax jurisdictions are Canada, the United States, Luxembourg and Germany. Our tax filings remain subject to audits by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. The earliest fiscal years open for examination are 2012 for Germany, 2016 for the United States, 2015 for Luxembourg, and 2012 for Canada.

We are subject to tax audits in all major taxing jurisdictions in which we operate and currently have tax audits open in Canada, the United States, Germany, India, Austria, Italy, France, the Philippines and South Africa. 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 Canada audits are included in note 14 "Guarantees and Contingencies".

The timing of the resolution of income tax audits is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities or possibly reach resolution of income tax audits in one or more jurisdictions. These assessments or settlements may or may not result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on tax filings. The actual amount of any change could vary significantly depending on the ultimate timing and nature of any settlements. We cannot currently provide an estimate of the range of possible outcomes. For more information relating to certain tax audits, please refer to note 14 "Guarantees and Contingencies".

25

As of September 30, 2021, we have recognized a provision of $27.2 million (June 30, 2021—$27.5 million) in respect of both additional foreign 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 German subsidiaries, that will be subject to withholding taxes upon distribution. We have not provided for additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities related to undistributed earnings of all other non-Canadian subsidiaries, since such earnings are considered permanently invested in those subsidiaries or are not subject to withholding taxes. It is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amount of additional deferred income tax liabilities or foreign withholding taxes that may be payable should these earnings be distributed in the future.

NOTE 16—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (Topic 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and addresses 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, 2021 and June 30, 2021:

	September 30, 2021								June 30, 2021
			Fair Market Measurements using:								Fair Market Measurements using:
	September 30, 2021		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets/ (liabilities)		Significant other observable inputs		Significant unobservable inputs		June 30, 2021		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 (Liabilities):
Foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges (note 17)	$	(736)	$	—	$	(736)	$	—	$	1,131	$	—	$	1,131	$	—
Total	$	(736)	$	—	$	(736)	$	—	$	1,131	$	—	$	1,131	$	—

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

26

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 the fair value (a Level 2 measurement) due to their short maturities.

The fair value of our Senior Notes is determined based on observable market prices and categorized as a Level 2 measurement. As of September 30, 2021, the fair value was $2.7 billion (June 30, 2021—$2.7 billion). The carrying value of our other long-term debt facilities approximates the fair value since the interest rate is at market. Please see note 11 "Long-Term Debt" for further details.

If applicable, we will recognize transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the actual event or change in circumstance occurs. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, we did not have any transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, no indications of impairments were identified and therefore no fair value measurements were required.

NOTE 17—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

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

We have designated these transactions as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions under ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (Topic 815). As 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 (Loss), net". The fair value of the contracts, as of September 30, 2021, is recorded within "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" and represents the net loss before tax effect that is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings with the next twelve months.

As of September 30, 2021, the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was $67.3 million (June 30, 2021—$66.9 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).

COVID-19 Restructuring Plan

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we made a strategic decision to move towards a significant work from home model. We began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations and significantly reduce our real estate footprint around the world (COVID-19 Restructuring Plan). The COVID-19 Restructuring Plan charges relate to workforce reductions and facility costs, including the accelerated amortization associated with the abandonment of ROU assets, the write-off of fixed assets and other related variable lease and exit costs. These charges require management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate. With respect to the COVID-19 Restructuring Plan, at the time of initial abandonment we assumed there would be no additional sublease income, lease assignments or early terminations from vacated facilities.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded net recoveries of $0.4 million related to abandoned facilities and workforce reductions.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded net charges of $3.0 million related to abandoned facilities and workforce reductions and $0.6 million associated with the write-off of fixed assets.

Since the inception of the plan, $44.2 million has been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date. We do not expect to incur any further significant charges relating to this plan.

Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan

During Fiscal 2020, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan), including in connection with our acquisitions of Carbonite and XMedius, to take further steps to improve our operational efficiency. The Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan charges relate to workforce reductions and facility costs, including the accelerated amortization associated with the abandonment of ROU assets, the write-off of fixed assets and other related variable lease and exit costs. These charges require management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate. With respect to the Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan, at the time of the initial abandonment we assumed there would be no additional sublease income, lease assignments or early terminations from vacated facilities.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded net recoveries of $0.1 million related to abandoned facilities and workforce reductions.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded net charges of $8.7 million related to abandoned facilities and workforce reductions.

Since the inception of the plan, $30.3 million has been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date. We do not expect to incur any further significant charges relating to this plan.

NOTE 23—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.

(1) Represents options to purchase Common Shares excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of the stock options was greater than or equal to the average price of the Common Shares during the period.

NOTE 24—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

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

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, Mr. Stephen Sadler, a member of the Board of Directors, earned $4 thousand (three months ended September 30, 2020—$6 thousand) 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 25—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Cash Dividends

As part of our quarterly, non-cumulative cash dividend program, we declared, on November 3, 2021, a dividend of $0.2209 per Common Share. The record date for this dividend is December 3, 2021 and the payment date is December 22, 2021. Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to the final determination and discretion of our Board.

Share Repurchase Plan

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we announced on November 4, 2021 authorization of a share repurchase plan pursuant to which we may purchase in open market transactions, from time to time over the 12 month period commencing November 12, 2021, up to an aggregate of $350 million of our Common Shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the Toronto Stock Exchange (as part of a Normal Course Issuer Bid) and/or other exchanges and alternative trading systems in Canada and/or the United States, if eligible, subject to applicable law and stock exchange rules (the Renewed Repurchase Plan).

31

The price that we have paid and will pay for Common Shares in open market transactions has been and will be the market price at the time of purchase or such other price as may be permitted by applicable law or stock exchange rules.

The Renewed Repurchase Plan has been and will be effected in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Purchases made under the Renewed Repurchase Plan are subject to a limit of 13,638,008 shares (representing 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares as of October 31, 2021). All Common Shares purchased by us pursuant to the Renewed Repurchase Plan will be cancelled.

See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for definitions and reconciliations of GAAP-based measures to Non-GAAP-based measures.

Acquisitions

As a result of the continually changing marketplace in which we operate, we regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities within our market and at any time may be in various stages of discussions with respect to such opportunities.

35

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 provide superior shareholder value. We expect to continue to strategically acquire companies, products, services and technologies to augment our existing business. Our acquisitions, particularly significant ones, can affect the period-to-period comparability of our results. See note 19 "Acquisitions" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

Impacts of COVID-19

In March 2020, COVID-19 was characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The spread of COVID-19 continues to impact the global economy and has adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact our operational and financial performance. The extent of the adverse impact of the pandemic on the global economy and markets will continue to depend, in part, on the length and severity of the measures taken to limit the spread of the virus (including any current and/or new variants), the availability, effectiveness and use of treatments and vaccines (including the effectiveness of boosters) and, in part, on the size and effectiveness of the compensating measures taken by governments and on actual and potential resurgences. We are closely monitoring the potential effects and impact on our operations, businesses and financial performance, including liquidity and capital usage, though the extent is difficult to fully predict at this time due to the rapid evolution of this uncertain situation.

We continue to conduct business with substantial modifications to employee travel and work locations and also virtualization of sales and marketing events, which we expect to remain in place throughout calendar year 2021, along with substantially modified interactions with customers and suppliers, among other modifications. We will continue to actively monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business and geographies, including customer purchasing decisions, and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by governments, or that we determine are in the best interest of our employees, customers, partners, suppliers, and shareholders. It is uncertain and difficult to predict what the potential effects any such alterations or modifications may have on our business including the effects on our customers and prospects, or our financial results and our ability to successfully execute our business strategies and initiatives.

As previously disclosed, during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, our Compensation Committee and Board approved certain compensation adjustments in order to preemptively mitigate the operational impacts of COVID-19. These adjustments remained in effect until December 1, 2020, at which time all previously announced compensation adjustments were prospectively restored.

The ongoing and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial performance depends on many factors that are not within our control. For more information, please see Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021.

Outlook for Fiscal 2022

As an organization, we are committed to "Total Growth", meaning we strive towards delivering value through organic growth initiatives, innovations and acquisitions, as well as financial performance. With an emphasis on increasing recurring revenues and expanding our margins, we believe our Total Growth strategy will ultimately drive cash flow generation, thus helping to fuel our disciplined capital allocation approach and further our ability to deepen our account coverage and identify and execute strategic acquisitions. With strategic acquisitions, we are better positioned to expand our sales coverage and product portfolio and improve our ability to innovate and grow organically, which helps us to meet our long-term growth targets. We believe this “Total Growth” strategy is a durable model that will create shareholder value over both the near and long-term.

We are committed to continuous innovation. Our investments in research and development (R&D) push product innovation, increasing the value of our offerings to our installed customer base, which includes Global 10,000 companies (G10K), SMB and consumers. The G10K are the world's largest companies, typically those with greater than two billion dollars in revenues, as well as the world's largest governments and organizations. More valuable products, coupled with the OpenText Digital Zone and global partner program, lead to greater distribution and cross-selling opportunities which further help us to achieve organic growth. In this first quarter of Fiscal 2022, we have invested $100.2 million or 12.0% of revenue in R&D, in line with our target to spend 12% to 14% of revenues for R&D this fiscal year.

Looking ahead, the destination for innovation is indisputably the cloud. OpenText Anywhere is our commitment to enable organizations of all sizes to deploy our products in any combination of public and private clouds, managed services and off-cloud solutions. As a result, we are committed to continue to modernize our technology infrastructure and leverage our existing investments in the OpenText Cloud. The combination of OpenText cloud-native applications and managed services, together with the scalability and performance of our partner public cloud providers, offer more secure, reliable and compliant solutions to customers wanting to deploy cloud-based Information Management applications. The OpenText Cloud is designed to build

36

additional flexibility and scalability for our customers: becoming cloud-native, connecting anything, and extending capabilities quickly with multi-tenant SaaS applications and services.

We will continue to closely monitor the global impacts of COVID-19.

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. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. The policies listed below are areas that may contain key components of our results of operations and are based on complex rules requiring us to make judgments and estimates and consequently, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Some of these accounting policies involve complex situations and require a higher degree of judgment, either in the application and interpretation of existing accounting literature or in the development of estimates that affect our financial statements. The critical accounting policies which we believe are the most important to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

(i)Revenue recognition,

(ii)Goodwill,

(iii)Acquired intangibles, and

(iv)Income taxes.

For a full discussion of all our accounting policies, please see note 2 "Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements" to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021.

We will continue to monitor the potential impact of COVID-19 on our financial statements and related disclosures, including the need for additional estimates going forward, which could include costs related to items such as special charges, restructurings, asset impairments and other non-recurring costs. As of September 30, 2021, we have recorded certain estimates in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements resulting from the pandemic, particularly with respect to the COVID-19 Restructuring Plan and allowance for credit losses, based on management's estimates and assumptions utilizing the most currently available information. Such estimates may be subject to change particularly given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please also see "Risk Factors" included within Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021.

Revenues, Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin by Product Type

1)    Cloud Services and Subscriptions:

Cloud services and subscriptions revenues are from hosting arrangements where in connection with the licensing of software, the end user does not take possession of the software, as well as from end-to-end fully outsourced B2B integration solutions to our customers (collectively referred to as cloud arrangements). The software application resides on our hardware or that of a third party, and the customer accesses and uses the software on an as-needed basis via an identified line. Our cloud arrangements can be broadly categorized as PaaS, SaaS, cloud subscriptions and managed services. For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, our cloud renewal rate, excluding the impact of Carbonite Inc. (Carbonite), was approximately 93%, compared to approximately 95% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

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

	Three Months Ended September 30,
(In thousands)	2021			Change increase (decrease)		2020
Cloud Services and Subscriptions:
Americas	$	268,093		$	12,538	$	255,555

% Cloud Services and Subscriptions Revenues by Geography:
Americas	75.2		%			74.9		%
EMEA	17.6		%			17.9		%
Asia Pacific	7.2		%			7.2		%

Cloud services and subscriptions revenues increased by $15.6 million or 4.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year; up 3.6% after factoring in the favorable impact of $3.4 million of foreign exchange rate changes. Geographically, the overall change was attributable to an increase in Americas of $12.5 million, an increase in EMEA of $1.6 million and an increase in Asia Pacific of $1.4 million.

There were 7 cloud services contracts greater than $1.0 million that closed during the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, compared to 6 contracts during the first quarter of Fiscal 2021.

Cost of Cloud services and subscriptions revenues increased by $7.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to an increase in labour-related costs of $3.1 million and an increase in third party network usage fees of $3.4 million. Overall, the gross margin percentage on Cloud services and subscriptions revenues decreased to 66% from 67%.

2)    Customer Support:

Customer support revenues consist of revenues from our customer support and maintenance agreements. These agreements allow our customers to receive technical support, enhancements and upgrades to new versions of our software products when 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, and are renewable, generally on an annual basis, at the option of the customer. Our management reviews our Customer support renewal rates on a quarterly basis, and we use these rates as a method of monitoring our customer service performance. For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, our Customer support renewal rate was approximately 94%, consistent with the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

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 increased by $5.8 million or 1.8% during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year; down 0.3% after factoring in the favorable impact of $6.8 million of foreign exchange rate changes. Geographically, the overall change was attributable to an increase in EMEA of $6.1 million and an increase in Asia Pacific of $2.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in Americas of $2.6 million.

Cost of Customer support revenues increased by $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to an increase in labour-related costs of $0.2 million. Overall, the gross margin percentage on Customer support revenues remained stable at 91%.

3)    License:

Our License revenue can be broadly categorized as perpetual licenses, term licenses and subscription licenses. 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.

License revenues increased by $5.0 million or 7.3% during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year; up 5.8% after factoring in the favorable impact of $1.1 million of foreign exchange rate changes. Geographically, the overall change was attributable to an increase in EMEA of $7.7 million and an increase in Americas of $3.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in Asia Pacific of $5.8 million.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, we closed 17 license contracts greater than $0.5 million, of which 9 contracts were greater than $1.0 million, contributing $20.9 million of License revenues. This was compared to 15 license contracts greater than $0.5 million during the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, of which 6 contracts were greater than $1.0 million, contributing $14.8 million of License revenues.

40

Cost of License revenues increased by $1.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year as a result of higher third party technology costs. Overall, the gross margin percentage on License revenues decreased to 95% from 96%.

4)    Professional Service and Other:

Professional service and other revenues consist of revenues from consulting contracts and contracts to provide implementation, training and integration services (professional services). Other revenues consist of hardware revenues, which are included 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. Professional service and other revenues can vary from period to period based on the type of engagements as well as those implementations that are assumed by our partner network.

Cost of Professional service and other revenues consists primarily of the costs of providing integration, configuration and training with respect to our various software products. The most significant components of these costs are personnel-related expenses, travel costs and third party subcontracting.

Special charges (recoveries):

Special charges (recoveries) typically relate to amounts that we expect to pay in connection with restructuring plans, acquisition-related costs and other similar charges and recoveries. Generally, we implement such plans in the context of integrating acquired entities with existing OpenText operations and most recently in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 (recoveries).

(In thousands)	2021		Change increase (decrease)		2020
Special charges (recoveries)	$	344	$	(12,900)	$	13,244

Special charges (recoveries) decreased by $12.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to a decrease in restructuring activities of $13.0 million, primarily related to the COVID-19 and Fiscal 2020 restructuring plans.

Provision for (Recovery of) Income Taxes

We operate in several tax jurisdictions and are exposed to various foreign tax rates.

	Three Months Ended September 30,
(In thousands)	2021		Change increase (decrease)		2020
Provision for (recovery of) income taxes	$	43,450	$	706	$	42,744

The effective tax rate decreased to a provision of 24.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a provision of 29.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Tax expense increased from $42.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $43.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021. This was primarily due to (i) an increase of $8.3 million relating to higher net income including the impact of foreign rates and (ii) an increase of $7.6 million related to tax benefits of internal reorganizations in Fiscal 2021 that did not reoccur in Fiscal 2022. These were partially offset by (i) a decrease of $4.1 million related to the US Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax (US BEAT), (ii) a decrease of $3.5 million for changes in unrecognized tax benefits, (iii) a decrease of $3.2 million related to differences in tax filings being lower than estimates and (iv) a decrease of $1.2 million related to permanent differences. The remainder of the difference was due to normal course movements and non-material items.

For information on certain potential tax contingencies, including the CRA matter, see note 14 "Guarantees and Contingencies" and note 15 "Income Taxes" 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 is 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, attributable to OpenText, are consistently calculated as GAAP-based net income or earnings per share, attributable to OpenText, on a diluted basis, excluding the effects of the amortization of acquired intangible assets, other income (expense), share-based compensation, and special charges (recoveries), all net of tax and any tax benefits/expense items unrelated to current period income, as further described in the tables below. Non-GAAP-based gross profit is the arithmetical sum of GAAP-based gross profit and the amortization of acquired technology-based intangible assets and share-based compensation within cost of sales. Non-GAAP-based gross margin is calculated as Non-GAAP-based gross profit expressed as a percentage of total revenue. Non-GAAP-based income from operations is calculated as GAAP-based income from operations, excluding the amortization of acquired intangible assets, special charges (recoveries), and share-based compensation expense.

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

The Company's management believes that the presentation of the above defined Non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to 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. These items are excluded based upon the way the Company's management evaluates the performance of the Company's business for use in the Company's internal reports and are not excluded in the sense that they may be used under U.S. GAAP.

The Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and therefore believes that the presentation of Non-GAAP measures, which in certain cases adjust for the impact of amortization of intangible assets and the related tax effects that are primarily related to acquisitions, will provide readers of financial statements with a more consistent basis for comparison across accounting periods and be more useful in helping readers understand the Company’s operating results and underlying operational trends. Additionally, the Company has engaged in various restructuring activities over the past several years, primarily due to acquisitions and most recently in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, that have resulted in costs associated with reductions in headcount, consolidation of leased facilities and related costs, all which are recorded under the Company’s “Special charges (recoveries)” caption on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Each restructuring activity is a discrete event based on a unique set of business objectives or circumstances, and each differs in terms of its operational implementation, business impact and scope, and the size of each restructuring plan can vary significantly from period to period. Therefore, the Company believes that the exclusion of these special charges (recoveries) will also better aid readers of financial statements in the understanding and comparability of the Company's operating results and underlying operational trends.

In summary, the Company believes the provision of supplemental Non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the operational and 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.

(1)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of share-based compensation expense from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as this expense is excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(2)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of amortization expense from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as the timing and frequency of amortization expense is dependent on our acquisitions and is hence excluded from our internal analysis of operating results.
(3)	GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based gross profit stated in dollars and gross margin stated as a percentage of total revenue.
(4)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of special charges (recoveries) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as special charges (recoveries) are generally incurred in the periods relevant to an acquisition and include certain charges or recoveries that are not indicative or related to continuing operations, and are therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results. See note 18 "Special charges (recoveries)" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.
(5)	GAAP-based and Non-GAAP-based income from operations stated in dollars.
(6)	Adjustment relates to the exclusion of other income (expense) from our Non-GAAP-based operating expenses as other income (expense) generally relates to the transactional impact of foreign exchange and is generally not indicative or related to continuing operations and is therefore excluded from our internal analysis of operating results. Other income (expense) also includes our share of income (losses) from our holdings in investments as a limited partner. We do not actively trade equity securities in these privately held companies nor do we plan our ongoing operations based around any anticipated fundings or distributions from these investments. We exclude gains and losses on these investments as we do not believe they are reflective of our ongoing business and operating results.
(7)	Adjustment relates to differences between the GAAP-based tax provision rate of approximately 25% and a Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 14%; these rate differences are due to the income tax effects of items that are excluded for the purpose of calculating Non-GAAP-based adjusted net income. Such excluded items include amortization, share-based compensation, special charges (recoveries) and other income (expense), net. Also excluded are tax benefits/expense items unrelated to current period income such as changes in reserves for tax uncertainties and valuation allowance reserves, and “book to return” adjustments for tax return filings and tax assessments. Included is the amount of net tax benefits arising from the internal reorganization that occurred in Fiscal 2017 assumed to be allocable to the current period based on the forecasted utilization period. In arriving at our Non-GAAP-based tax rate of approximately 14%, we analyzed the individual adjusted expenses and took into consideration the impact of statutory tax rates from local jurisdictions incurring the expense.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of balances with banks as well as deposits with original maturities of 90 days or less.

We continue to anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents, as well as available credit facilities, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated cash requirements for working capital, contractual commitments, capital expenditures, dividends and operating needs for the next twelve months. Any further material or acquisition-related activities may require additional sources of financing and would be subject to the financial covenants established under our credit facilities. For more details, see "Long-term Debt and Credit Facilities" below.

As of September 30, 2021, we have recognized a provision of $27.2 million (June 30, 2021—$27.5 million) in respect of both additional foreign 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 German subsidiaries, that will be subject to withholding taxes upon distribution.

We have deferred a total of approximately $99 million of tax payments under the CARES Act and other COVID-19 related tax relief programs in EMEA. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we made repayments of approximately $2 million related to amounts previously deferred. As of September 30, 2021, we have remaining deferrals of $37 million which will become payable throughout Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2023.

Cash flows provided by operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $44.2 million, due to a decrease in changes from working capital of $58.6 million, partially offset by an increase in net income before the impact of non-cash items of $14.4 million. The decrease in operating cash flow from changes in working capital was primarily due to the net impact of the following decreases:

(i)$62.9 million relating to accounts payable and accrued liabilities;

(ii)$6.3 million relating to prepaid expenses and other current assets; and

(iii)$4.3 million relating to income taxes payable, net of receivables.

These decreases in operating cash flows were partially offset by the following increases:

(i)$7.0 million relating to other assets;

(ii)$2.8 million relating to deferred revenues;

(iii)$2.6 million relating to contract assets;

(iv)$1.7 million relating to accounts receivable; and

(v)$0.8 million relating to net operating lease assets and liabilities.

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2022 our days sales outstanding (DSO) was 40 days, compared to a DSO of 44 days during the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, largely as a result of strong improvement in collections efficiency. The per day impact of our DSO in the first quarter of Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 on our cash flows was $9.2 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

51

In arriving at DSO, we exclude contract assets as these assets do not provide an unconditional right to the related consideration from the customer.

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 increased by $8.9 million. This was due to an increase in purchases of property and equipment of $11.4 million, partially offset by a $2.5 million reduction in cash used for other investing activities.

Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities

Our cash flows from financing activities generally consist of long-term debt financing and amounts received from stock options exercised by our employees. These inflows are typically offset by scheduled and non-scheduled repayments of our long-term debt financing and, when applicable, the payment of dividends and/or repurchases of our Common Shares.

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased by $49.7 million. This is due to the net impact of the following activities:

(i)$41.9 million relating to the repurchase of Common Shares on the open market for potential reissuance under our stock compensation plans that occurred during Fiscal 2021 and did not reoccur in Fiscal 2022; and

(ii)$20.9 million higher proceeds from the issuance of Common Shares for the exercise of options and the OpenText Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).

The decreases in cash flows used in financing activities were partially offset by the following increases:

(i)$12.6 million relating to higher cash dividends paid to shareholders; and

(ii)$0.4 million relating to a cash distribution to non-controlling interests holder.

Cash Dividends

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we declared and paid cash dividends of $0.2209 per Common Share in the aggregate amount of $59.9 million (three months ended September 30, 2020—$0.1746 per Common Share, in the aggregate amount of $47.3 million).

Future declarations of dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to final determination and discretion of the Board. See Item 5 "Dividend Policy" included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021 for more information.

We may redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes 2030 at any time prior to February 15, 2025 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes 2030 plus an applicable premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. We may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes 2030, on one or more occasions, prior to February 15, 2025, using the net proceeds from certain qualified equity offerings at a redemption price of 104.125% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, subject to compliance with certain conditions. We may, on one or more occasions, redeem the Senior Notes 2030, in whole or in part, at any time on and after February 15, 2025 at the applicable redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the Senior Notes 2030, dated as of February 18, 2020, among OTHI, the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, The Bank of New York Mellon, as U.S. trustee, and BNY Trust Company of Canada, as Canadian trustee (the 2030 Indenture), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions as set forth in the 2030 Indenture. The 2030 Indenture also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, may permit or, in certain circumstances, require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then-outstanding Senior Notes 2030 to be due and payable immediately.

Senior Notes 2030 are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and the Company's existing and future wholly-owned subsidiaries (other than OTHI) that borrow or guarantee the obligations under our existing senior credit facilities. Senior Notes 2030 and the guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company, OTHI and the guarantors’ existing and future senior unsubordinated debt and will rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company, OTHI and the guarantors’ future subordinated debt. Senior Notes 2030 and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all of the Company, OTHI and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt, including the obligations under the senior credit facilities, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such secured debt.

Term Loan B

On May 30, 2018, we entered into a credit facility, which provides for a $1 billion term loan facility with certain lenders named therein, Barclays Bank PLC (Barclays), as sole administrative agent and collateral agent, and as lead arranger and joint bookrunner (Term Loan B) and borrowed the full amount on May 30, 2018 to, among other things, repay in full the loans under our prior $800 million term loan credit facility originally entered into on January 16, 2014. Repayments made under Term Loan B are equal to 0.25% of the principal amount in equal quarterly installments for the life of Term Loan B, with the remainder due 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 the Revolver. Term Loan B has a seven year term, maturing in May 2025.

Borrowings under Term Loan B bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the borrower’s option, either (1) the Eurodollar rate for the interest period relevant to such borrowing or (2) an ABR rate. The applicable margin for borrowings under Term Loan B is 1.75%, with respect to LIBOR advances and 0.75%, with respect to ABR

54

advances. The interest on the current outstanding balance for Term Loan B is equal to 1.75% plus LIBOR (subject to a 0.00% floor). As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding balance on the Term Loan B bears an interest rate of 1.84%. For more information regarding the impact of LIBOR, see "Stress in the global financial system may adversely affect our finances and operations in ways that may be hard to predict or to defend against" included within Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021.

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 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, 2021, our consolidated net leverage ratio was 1.4:1.

Revolver

On October 31, 2019, we amended our committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver) to increase the total commitments under the Revolver from $450 million to $750 million as well as to extend the maturity from May 5, 2022 to October 31, 2024. Borrowings under the Revolver are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets, on a pari passu basis with Term Loan B. The Revolver has no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest per annum at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a fixed margin dependent on our consolidated net leverage ratio ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. For more information regarding the impact of LIBOR, see "Stress in the global financial system may adversely affect our finances and operations in ways that may be hard to predict or to defend against" included within Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021.

Under the Revolver, 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, 2021, we had no outstanding balance under the Revolver (June 30, 2021—nil).

Shelf Registration Statement

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

Please see note 6 "Leases" to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

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

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

Litigation

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

If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss in accordance with Topic 450-20. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the aggregate of such accrued liabilities was not material to our consolidated financial position or results of

57

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. As more fully described below, we are unable at this time to estimate a possible loss or range of losses in respect of certain disclosed matters.

Contingencies

CRA Matter

As part of its ongoing audit of our Canadian tax returns, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has disputed our transfer pricing methodology used for certain intercompany transactions with our international subsidiaries and has issued notices of reassessment for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016. Assuming the utilization of available tax attributes (further described below), we estimate our potential aggregate liability, as of September 30, 2021, in connection with the CRA's reassessments for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016, to be limited to penalties, interest and provincial taxes that may be due of approximately $72 million. As of September 30, 2021, we have provisionally paid approximately $28 million in order to fully preserve our rights to object to the CRA's audit positions, being the minimum payment required under Canadian legislation while the matter is in dispute. This amount is recorded within "Long-term income taxes recoverable" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2021.

The notices of reassessment for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016 would, as drafted, increase our taxable income by approximately $90 million to $100 million for each of those years, as well as impose a 10% penalty on the proposed adjustment to income. Audits by the CRA of our tax returns for fiscal years prior to Fiscal 2012 have been completed with no reassessment of our income tax liability.

We strongly disagree with the CRA's positions and believe the reassessments of Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016 (including any penalties) are without merit. We have filed notices of objection for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016. We are currently seeking competent authority consideration under applicable international treaties in respect of these reassessments.

Even if we are unsuccessful in challenging the CRA's reassessments to increase our taxable income for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016, we have elective deductions available for those years (including carry-backs from later years) that would offset such increased amounts so that no additional cash tax would be payable, exclusive of any assessed penalties and interest, as described above.

The CRA is also currently auditing Fiscal 2017 on a basis that we strongly disagree with and will vigorously contest. The focus of the CRA audit has been the valuation of certain intellectual property and goodwill when one of our subsidiaries continued into Canada from Luxembourg in July 2016. In accordance with applicable rules, these assets were recognized for tax purposes at fair market value as of that time, which value was supported by an expert valuation prepared by an independent leading accounting and advisory firm. In conjunction with the Fiscal 2017 audit, the CRA issued a proposal letter dated April 7, 2021 (Proposal Letter) indicating to us that it proposes to reassess our Fiscal 2017 tax year to reduce the depreciable basis of these assets. We are currently engaged in dialogue with the CRA regarding the 2017 audit and have made extensive submissions in support of our position. CRA’s currently-proposed position for Fiscal 2017 relies in significant part on the application of its positions regarding our transfer pricing methodology that are the basis for its reassessment of our fiscal years 2012 to 2016 described above, and that we believe are without merit. Other aspects of CRA’s currently-proposed position for Fiscal 2017 conflict with the expert valuation prepared by the independent leading accounting and advisory firm that was used to support our original filing position. If the CRA determines to issue a notice of reassessment in respect of Fiscal 2017 on the basis of its position set forth in the Proposal Letter and we are ultimately unsuccessful in defending our position, the estimated impact of the proposed adjustment could result in us recording an income tax expense, with no immediate cash payment, to reduce the stated value of our deferred tax assets of up to approximately $470 million. Any such income tax expense could also have a corresponding cash tax impact that would primarily occur over a period of several future years based upon annual income realization in Canada. We strongly disagree with the CRA’s position for Fiscal 2017 and intend to vigorously defend our original filing position.

We will continue to vigorously contest the proposed adjustments to our taxable income and any penalty and interest assessments, as well as any proposed reduction to the basis of our depreciable property. We are confident that our original tax filing positions were appropriate. Accordingly, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not recorded any accruals in respect of these reassessments or proposed reassessment in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The CRA is currently in preliminary stages of auditing Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2019.

Carbonite Class Action Complaint

On August 1, 2019, prior to our acquisition of Carbonite, a purported stockholder of Carbonite filed a putative class action complaint against Carbonite, its former Chief Executive Officer, Mohamad S. Ali, and its former Chief Financial Officer, Anthony Folger, in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts captioned Ruben A. Luna, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Carbonite, Inc., Mohamad S. Ali, and Anthony Folger (No. 1:19-cv-11662-LTS). The complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint generally alleges that the defendants made materially false and misleading statements in connection with Carbonite’s Server Backup VM Edition, and seeks, among other things, the designation of the action as a class action, an award of unspecified compensatory damages, costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees, and other relief as the court deems appropriate. On August 23, 2019, a nearly identical complaint was filed in the same court captioned William Feng, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Carbonite, Inc., Mohamad S. Ali, and Anthony Folger (No. 1:19- cv-11808-LTS) (together with the Luna Complaint, the “Securities Actions”). On November 21, 2019, the court consolidated the Securities Actions, appointed a lead plaintiff, and designated a lead counsel. On January 15, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint generally making the same allegations and seeking the same relief as the complaint filed on August 1, 2019. The defendants moved to dismiss the Securities Actions on March 10, 2020. The motion was fully briefed in June 2020 and a hearing on the motion to dismiss the Securities Actions was held on October 15, 2020. Following the hearing, on October 22, 2020, the court granted with prejudice the defendants’ motion to dismiss the Securities Actions. On November 20, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. The appeal has been fully briefed and oral arguments before the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit were held on July 29, 2021. The court’s decision on the appeal is expected in the coming months and the defendants remain confident in the District Court’s dismissal with prejudice of the Securities Actions.

Carbonite vs Realtime Data

On February 27, 2017, before our acquisition of Carbonite, a non-practicing entity named Realtime Data LLC (Realtime Data) filed a lawsuit against Carbonite in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas "Realtime Data LLC v. Carbonite, Inc. et al (No 6:17-cv-00121-RWS-JDL)." Therein, it alleged that certain of Carbonite’s cloud storage services infringe upon certain patents held by Realtime Data. Realtime Data’s complaint against Carbonite sought damages in an unspecified amount and injunctive relief. On December 19, 2017, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas transferred the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts (No. 1:17-cv-12499). Realtime Data has also filed numerous other patent suits on the same asserted patents against other companies. After a stay pending appeal in one of those suits, on January 21, 2021, the Court held a hearing to construe the claims of the asserted patents. As to the fourth patent asserted against Carbonite, on September 24, 2019, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office Patent Trial and Appeal Board invalidated certain claims of that patent, including certain claims that had been asserted against Carbonite. The parties then jointly stipulated to dismiss that patent from this action. On August 23, 2021, in one of the suits against other companies, the District of Delaware (No. 1:17-cv-800), held all of the patents asserted against Carbonite to be invalid. Realtime Data has appealed that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We continue to vigorously defend the matter, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts indicated, on September 30, 2021, that it will issue a claim construction order before staying the case pending the appeal in the related case. We have not accrued a loss contingency related to this matter because litigation related to a non-practicing entity is inherently unpredictable. Although a loss is reasonably possible, an unfavorable outcome is not considered by management to be probable at this time and we remain unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of loss associated with this litigation.

Please also see Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not enter into off-balance sheet financing as a matter of practice, except for guarantees relating to taxes and letters of credit on behalf of parties with whom we conduct business.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

Interest rate risk

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

59

As of September 30, 2021, we had an outstanding balance of $965.0 million on Term Loan B. Term Loan B bears a floating interest rate of 1.75% plus LIBOR. As of September 30, 2021, 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 $9.7 million, assuming that the loan balance as of September 30, 2021 is outstanding for the entire period (June 30, 2021—$9.7 million).

As of September 30, 2021, we had no outstanding balance under the Revolver. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest per annum at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a fixed rate that is dependent on our consolidated net leverage ratio ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. As of September 30, 2021, with no outstanding balance on the Revolver, an adverse change of one percent on the interest rate would have no effect on our annual interest payment (June 30, 2021—nil).

For more information regarding the impact of LIBOR, see "Stress in the global financial system may adversely affect our finances and operations in ways that may be hard to predict or to defend against" included within Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021.

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 and are transacted in non-functional currency. 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 of September 30, 2021, a one cent change in the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate would have caused a change of $0.7 million in the mark to market on our existing foreign exchange forward contracts (June 30, 2021—$0.7 million).

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, 2021 (equivalent in U.S. dollar):

(In thousands)	U.S. Dollar  Equivalent at September 30, 2021		U.S. Dollar  Equivalent at June 30, 2021
Euro	$	316,965	$	331,974
British Pound	74,409		78,140
Canadian Dollar	19,237		26,632
Swiss Franc	39,464		44,900
Other foreign currencies	123,148		128,879
Total cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies	573,223		610,525
U.S. Dollar	1,162,042		996,781
Total cash and cash equivalents	$	1,735,265	$	1,607,306

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 $57.3 million (June 30, 2021—$61.1 million), assuming we have not entered into any derivatives discussed above under "Foreign Currency Transaction Risk".

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 Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2021, 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, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As a result of COVID-19, we continue to operate under a work from home model. Although our pre-existing controls were not specifically designed to operate in this current environment, we continue to believe that our established internal control over financial reporting addresses all identified risk areas. We continue to monitor for any effects that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on the design or operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1A.     Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. 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 results, financial condition and liquidity. Our business is also subject to general risks and uncertainties that affect many other companies.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Open Text Corporation and our subsidiaries, collectively referred to as "OpenText" or the "Company". We wholly own all of our subsidiaries with the exception of Open Text South Africa Proprietary Ltd. (OT South Africa) and EC1 Pte. Ltd. (GXS Singapore), which as of September 30, 2021, were 70% and 81% owned, respectively, by OpenText. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we made a final cash distribution of $0.4 million to the non-controlling interest holder in GXS Singapore, as part of the ongoing process to liquidate the subsidiary, which is expected to be complete by the end of Fiscal 2022.

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q: (i) the term "Fiscal 2022" means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2022; (ii) the term "Fiscal 2021" means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2020 and ended June 30, 2021; (iii) the term “Fiscal 2020” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2019 and ended June 30, 2020; (iv) the term “Fiscal 2019” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2018 and ended June 30, 2019; (v) the term “Fiscal 2018” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2017 and ended June 30, 2018; (vi) the term “Fiscal 2017” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2016 and ended June 30, 2017; (vii) the term “Fiscal 2016” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2015 and ended June 30, 2016; (viii) the term “Fiscal 2015” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2014 and ended June 30, 2015; (ix) the term “Fiscal 2014” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2013 and ended June 30, 2014; (x) the term “Fiscal 2013” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2012 and ended June 30, 2013; and (xi) the term “Fiscal 2012” means our fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2011 and ended 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.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We 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, key estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) accounting for income taxes, (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) the valuation of stock options granted and obligations related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plans, and (x) the valuation of pension obligations.

In March 2020, COVID-19 was characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The spread of COVID-19 continues to impact the global economy. As the impacts of the pandemic continue to evolve, estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require increased judgment. As of September 30, 2021, we have recorded certain estimates resulting from the pandemic, particularly with respect to the COVID-19 Restructuring Plan (as defined herein) and allowance for credit losses, based on management's estimates and assumptions utilizing the most currently available information. Such estimates may be subject to change particularly given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to monitor the potential impact of COVID-19 on our financial statements and related disclosures, including the need for additional estimates going forward, which could include costs related to potential items such as special charges (recoveries), restructurings, asset impairments and other non-recurring costs. Please see note 18 "Special Charges (Recoveries)" and "Risk Factors" included within Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021.

Disaggregation of Revenue

We have four revenue streams: cloud services and subscriptions, customer support, license, and professional service and other. The following tables disaggregate our revenue by significant geographic area, based on the location of our end customer, by type of performance obligation and timing of revenue recognition for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020
Total Revenues by Geography:
Americas (1)	$	519,692	$	508,656
EMEA (2)	244,597		225,935
Asia Pacific (3)	68,019		69,422
Total revenues	$	832,308	$	804,013

Total Revenues by Type of Performance Obligation:
Recurring revenues (4)
Cloud services and subscriptions revenue	$	356,589	$	340,986
Customer support revenue	335,237		329,399
Total recurring revenues	$	691,826	$	670,385
License revenue (perpetual, term and subscriptions)	73,529		68,523
Professional service and other revenue	66,953		65,105
Total revenues	$	832,308	$	804,013
Total Revenues by Timing of Revenue Recognition:
Point in time	$	73,529	$	68,523
Over time (including professional service and other revenue)	758,779		735,490
Total revenues	$	832,308	$	804,013

(1) Americas consists of countries in North, Central and South America.

(2) EMEA primarily consists of countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

(3) Asia Pacific primarily consists of Japan, Australia, China, Korea, Philippines, Singapore, India and New Zealand.

(4) Recurring revenue is defined as the sum of Cloud services and subscriptions revenue and Customer support revenue.

Contract Balances

A contract asset, net of allowance for credit losses, will be recorded if we have recognized revenue but do not have an unconditional right to the related consideration from the customer. For example, this will be the case if implementation services offered in a cloud arrangement are identified as a separate performance obligation and are provided to a customer prior to us being able to bill the customer. In addition, a contract asset may arise in relation to subscription licenses if the license revenue that is recognized upfront exceeds the amount that we are able to invoice the customer at that time. Contract assets are reclassified to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional.

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

	As of September 30, 2021		As of June 30, 2021
Short-term contract assets	$	24,312	$	25,344
Long-term contract assets	$	19,550	$	19,222
Short-term deferred revenues	$	814,989	$	852,629
Long-term deferred revenues	$	95,930	$	98,989

The difference in the opening and closing balances of our contract assets and deferred revenues primarily results from the timing difference between our performance and the customer’s payments. We fulfill our obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring products and services in exchange for consideration from the customer. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we reclassified $8.1 million of contract assets to receivables as a result of the right to the transaction consideration becoming unconditional. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, there was no significant impairment loss recognized related to contract assets.

We recognize deferred revenue when we have received consideration or an amount of consideration is due from the customer for future obligations to transfer products or services. Our deferred revenues primarily relate to customer support agreements which have been paid for by customers prior to the performance of those services. The amount of revenue that was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2021 that was included in the deferred revenue balances at June 30, 2021 was $359 million (three months ended September 30, 2020—$343 million).

Incremental Costs of Obtaining a Contract with a Customer

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract include only those costs that we incur to obtain a contract that we would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained, such as sales commissions. The following table summarizes the changes in total capitalized costs to obtain a contract, since June 30, 2021:

Capitalized costs to obtain a contract as of June 30, 2021	$	72,900
New capitalized costs incurred	7,122
Amortization of capitalized costs	(6,170)
Impact of foreign exchange rate changes	(524)
Capitalized costs to obtain a contract as of September 30, 2021	$	73,328

During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, there was no significant impairment loss recognized related to capitalized costs to obtain a contract. Refer to note 9 "Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets" for additional information on incremental costs of obtaining a contract.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of September 30, 2021, approximately $1.4 billion of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations on existing contracts. We expect to recognize approximately 46% of this amount over the next 12 months and the remaining balance substantially over the next three years thereafter. We apply the practical expedient and do not disclose performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

Leases [Abstract]

LEASES

LEASES

We enter into operating leases, both domestically and internationally, for certain facilities, automobiles, data centers and equipment for use in the ordinary course of business. The duration of the majority of these leases generally ranges from 1 to 10 years, some of which include options to extend for an additional 3 to 5 years after the initial term. Additionally, the land upon which our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada is located is leased from the University of Waterloo for a period of 49 years beginning in December 2005, with an option to renew for an additional term of 49 years. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and we do not have any material finance leases.

Investments relate to certain investment funds in which we are a limited partner. Our interests in each of these investees range from 4% to below 20%. These investments are accounted for using the equity method. Our share of net income or losses based on our interest in these investments, which approximates fair value, is recorded as a component of Other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (see note 22 "Other Income (Expense), Net"). During the three months ended September 30, 2021, our share of income (loss) from these investments was $29.3 million (three months ended September 30, 2020—$6.2 million).

Senior Unsecured Fixed Rate Notes

Senior Notes 2030

On February 18, 2020, OpenText Holdings, Inc. a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, issued $900 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes due 2030 guaranteed by the Company (Senior Notes 2030) in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), and to certain persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Senior Notes 2030 bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, commencing on August 15, 2020. Senior Notes 2030 will mature on February 15, 2030, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms, or repurchased.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded interest expense of $9.3 million relating to Senior Notes 2030 (three months ended September 30, 2020—$9.2 million).

Senior Notes 2028

On February 18, 2020, we issued $900 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Senior Notes due 2028 (Senior Notes 2028) in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Senior Notes 2028 bear interest at a rate of 3.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, commencing on August 15, 2020. Senior Notes 2028 will mature on February 15, 2028, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms, or repurchased.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded interest expense of $8.7 million relating to Senior Notes 2028 (three months ended September 30, 2020—$8.6 million).

    Senior Notes 2026

On May 31, 2016, we issued $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (Senior Notes 2026) in an unregistered offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Senior Notes 2026 bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, commencing on December 1, 2016. Senior Notes 2026 will mature on June 1, 2026, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms, or repurchased.

On December 20, 2016, we issued an additional $250 million in aggregate principal amount by reopening our Senior Notes 2026 at an issue price of 102.75%. The additional notes have identical terms, are fungible with and are a part of a single series with the previously issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes 2026. The outstanding aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes 2026, after taking into consideration the additional issuance, is $850 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded interest expense of $12.5 million relating to Senior Notes 2026 (three months ended September 30, 2020—$12.5 million).

Term Loan B

On May 30, 2018, we refinanced our existing term loan facility, by entering into a new $1 billion term loan facility (Term Loan B), whereby we borrowed $1 billion on that day and repaid in full the loans under our prior $800 million term loan facility originally entered into on January 16, 2014. Borrowings under Term Loan B are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets on a pari passu basis with the Revolver (defined below).

Term Loan B has a seven year term, maturing in May 2025, and repayments made under Term Loan B are equal to 0.25% of the principal amount in 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 equal to 1.75% plus LIBOR. As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding balance on the Term Loan B bears an interest rate of 1.84%. For more information regarding the impact of LIBOR, see "Stress in the global financial system may adversely affect our finances and operations in ways that may be hard to predict or to defend against" included within Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021.

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, 2021, our consolidated net leverage ratio was 1.4:1.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded interest expense of $4.6 million relating to Term Loan B (three months ended September 30, 2020—$4.8 million).

Revolver

On October 31, 2019, we amended our committed revolving credit facility (the Revolver) to increase the total commitments under the Revolver from $450 million to $750 million as well as to extend the maturity from May 5, 2022 to October 31, 2024. Borrowings under the Revolver are secured by a first charge over substantially all of our assets, on a pari passu basis with Term Loan B. The Revolver has no fixed repayment date prior to the end of the term. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest per annum at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a fixed margin dependent on our consolidated net leverage ratio ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%. For more information regarding the impact of LIBOR, see "Stress in the global financial system may adversely affect our finances and operations in ways that may be hard to predict or to defend against" included within Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, we had no outstanding balance under the Revolver (June 30, 2021—nil). For the three months ended September 30, 2021 we did not record any interest expense relating to the Revolver (three months ended September 30, 2020—$3.0 million relating to amounts previously drawn).

Debt Issuance Costs and Premium on Senior Notes

Debt issuance costs relate primarily to costs incurred for the purpose of obtaining our credit facilities and issuing our Senior Notes 2026, Senior Notes 2028 and Senior Notes 2030 (collectively referred to as the Senior Notes) and are being amortized through interest expense over the respective terms of the Senior Notes and Term Loan B and the Revolver using the effective interest method.

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

Defined Benefit Plans

CDT Plan

CDT sponsors an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all CDT employees (CDT plan) which provides for old age, disability and survivors’ benefits. Benefits under the CDT plan are generally based on age at retirement, years of service and the employee’s annual earnings. The net 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.

GXS GER Plan

As part of our acquisition of GXS Group, Inc. (GXS) in Fiscal 2014, we assumed an unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering certain German employees which provides for old age, disability and survivors' benefits. The GXS GER plan has been closed to new participants since 2006. Benefits under the GXS GER plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, date of hire, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. No contributions have been made since the inception of the plan.

GXS PHP Plan

As part of our acquisition of GXS in Fiscal 2014, we assumed a primarily unfunded defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of the GXS Philippines employees which provides for retirement, disability and survivors' benefits. Benefits under the GXS PHP plan are generally based on a participant’s remuneration, years of eligible service and age at retirement. The net periodic cost of this pension plan is determined using the projected unit credit method and several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and estimated service costs. Aside from an initial contribution which has a fair value of $0.04 million as of September 30, 2021, no additional contributions have been made since the inception of the plan.

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 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 costs 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-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

SHARE CAPITAL, OPTION PLANS AND SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

SHARE CAPITAL, OPTION PLANS AND SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Cash Dividends

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, pursuant to the Company’s dividend policy, we declared total non-cumulative dividends of $0.2209 per Common Share in the aggregate amount of $59.9 million, which we paid during the same period (three months ended September 30, 2020—$0.1746 per Common Share, in the aggregate amount of $47.3 million).

Share Capital

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

Treasury Stock

From time to time we may provide funds to an independent agent to facilitate repurchases of our Common Shares in connection with the settlement of awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plans (LTIP) or other plans.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we did not repurchase any of our Common Shares on the open market for potential reissuance under our LTIP or other plans as described below (three months ended September 30, 2020—965,154 Common Shares, respectively, at a cost of $41.9 million).

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we reissued 141,452 Common Shares from treasury stock in connection with the settlement of awards and other plans (three months ended September 30, 2020—193,680 Common Shares).

Share Repurchase Plan

On November 5, 2020, the Board authorized a share repurchase plan (Repurchase Plan), pursuant to which we may purchase in open market transactions, from time to time over the 12 month period commencing November 12, 2020, up to an aggregate of $350 million of our Common Shares.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we did not repurchase any of our Common Shares under the Repurchase Plan.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we announced on November 4, 2021 authorization of a share repurchase plan pursuant to which we may purchase in open market transactions, from time to time over the 12 month period commencing November 12, 2021, up to an aggregate of $350 million of our Common Shares. Please see note 25 "Subsequent Events" for additional details.

Share-Based Payments

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

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020
Stock options	$	4,267	$	3,294
Performance Share Units (issued under LTIP)	3,445		2,484
Restricted Share Units (issued under LTIP)	2,166		2,002
Restricted Share Units (other)	1,728		1,986
Deferred Share Units (directors)	830		738
Employee Stock Purchase Plan	1,498		1,232
Total share-based compensation expense	$	13,934	$	11,736

Summary of Outstanding Stock Options

As of September 30, 2021, an aggregate of 8,084,264 options to purchase Common Shares were outstanding and an additional 10,484,700 options to purchase Common Shares were available for issuance under our stock option plans. Our stock options generally vest over four years and expire between seven and ten years from the date of the grant. Currently we also have options outstanding that vest over five years, as well as options outstanding that vest based on meeting certain market conditions. The exercise price of all our options is set at an amount that is not less than the closing price of our Common Shares on the NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable grant date.

A summary of activity under our stock option plans for the three months ended September 30, 2021 is as follows:

	Options	Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($’000's)
Outstanding at June 30, 2021	8,113,574	$	40.16	4.88	$	86,297
Granted	950,360	52.62
Exercised	(796,187)	34.29
Forfeited or expired	(183,483)	44.93
Outstanding at September 30, 2021	8,084,264	$	42.10	5.03	$	57,378
Exercisable at September 30, 2021	2,343,797	$	36.22	3.59	$	29,347

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

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

For the periods indicated, the weighted-average fair value of options and weighted-average assumptions estimated under the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2021			2020
Weighted–average fair value of options granted	$	9.75		$	8.50
Weighted-average assumptions used:
Expected volatility	26.62		%	26.12		%
Risk–free interest rate	0.55		%	0.20		%
Expected dividend yield	1.56		%	1.52		%
Expected life (in years)	4.16			4.72
Forfeiture rate (based on historical rates)	7		%	7		%
Average exercise share price	$	52.62		$	45.81

As of September 30, 2021, the total compensation cost related to the unvested stock option awards not yet recognized was $42.6 million, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

No cash was used by us to settle equity instruments granted under share-based compensation arrangements in any of the periods presented.

We have not capitalized any share-based compensation costs as part of the cost of an asset in any of the periods presented.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $15.4 million (three months ended September 30, 2020—$5.2 million).

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, cash in the amount of $27.3 million was received as the result of the exercise of options granted under share-based payment arrangements (three months ended September 30, 2020—$8.6 million).

The tax benefit realized by us during the three months ended September 30, 2021 from the exercise of options eligible for a tax deduction was $1.3 million (three months ended September 30, 2020—$0.7 million).

Long-Term Incentive Plans

We incentivize certain eligible employees, in part, with long-term compensation pursuant to our LTIP. The LTIP is a rolling three year program that grants eligible employees a certain number of target Performance Share Units (PSUs) and/or Restricted Share Units (RSUs). Target PSUs become vested upon the achievement of certain financial and/or operational performance criteria (the Performance Conditions) that are determined at the time of the grant. Target RSUs become vested when an eligible employee remains employed throughout the vesting period.

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. 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. Stock options granted under the LTIPs have been measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, consistent with Topic 718.

As of September 30, 2021, the total expected compensation cost related to the unvested LTIP awards not yet recognized was $59.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

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

LTIP 2021

Grants made in Fiscal 2019 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as LTIP 2021), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2019 starting on August 6, 2018. 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 LTIP 2021. We expect to settle the LTIP 2021 awards in stock during the second quarter of Fiscal 2022.

LTIP 2022

Grants made in Fiscal 2020 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as LTIP 2022), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2020 starting on August 5, 2019. The Performance Conditions for vesting of the PSUs are based solely upon market conditions. The RSUs are employee service-based awards and vest over the life of the LTIP 2022. We expect to settle the LTIP 2022 awards in stock.

LTIP 2023

Grants made in Fiscal 2021 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as LTIP 2023), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2021 starting on August 10, 2020. 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 LTIP 2023. We expect to settle the LTIP 2023 awards in stock.

LTIP 2024

Grants made in Fiscal 2022 under the LTIP (collectively referred to as LTIP 2024), consisting of PSUs and RSUs, took effect in Fiscal 2022 starting on August 9, 2021. 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 LTIP 2024. We expect to settle the LTIP 2024 awards in stock.

Restricted Share Units (RSUs)

In addition to the grants made in connection with the LTIP plans discussed above, from time to time, we may grant RSUs to certain employees in accordance with employment and other non-LTIP related agreements. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we did not grant any such RSUs to employees (three months ended September 30, 2020—484,956 RSUs). RSUs vest over a specified contract date, typically three years from the respective date of grants.

As of September 30, 2021, the total expected compensation cost related to the unvested RSU awards not yet recognized was $6.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years. We expect to settle RSU awards in stock.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we issued 141,452 Common Shares from treasury stock in connection with the settlement of vested RSUs, with a cost of $5.9 million (three months ended September 30, 2020—nil).

Deferred Share Units (DSUs)

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we granted 5,335 DSUs, to certain non-employee directors (three months ended September 30, 2020—3,667 DSUs). The DSUs were issued under our Deferred Share Unit Plan. DSUs granted as compensation for director fees vest immediately, whereas all other DSUs granted vest at our next annual general meeting following the granting of the DSUs. No DSUs are payable by us until the director ceases to be a member of the Board.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we did not issue any of our Common Shares from treasury stock in connection with the settlement of vested DSUs (three months ended September 30, 2020—nil).

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

Our ESPP offers employees a purchase price discount of 15%.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, 225,731 Common Shares were eligible for issuance to employees enrolled in the ESPP (three months ended September 30, 2020—200,772 Common Shares).

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, cash in the amount of $9.4 million was received from employees relating to the ESPP (three months ended September 30, 2020—$7.2 million).

(2) For contractual obligations relating to leases and purchase obligations accounted for under Topic 842, please see note 6 "Leases".

Guarantees and Indemnifications

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

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

Litigation

We are currently involved in various claims and legal proceedings.

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

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

Contingencies

CRA Matter

As part of its ongoing audit of our Canadian tax returns, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has disputed our transfer pricing methodology used for certain intercompany transactions with our international subsidiaries and has issued notices of reassessment for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016. Assuming the utilization of available tax attributes (further described below), we estimate our potential aggregate liability, as of September 30, 2021, in connection with the CRA's reassessments for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016, to be limited to penalties, interest and provincial taxes that may be due of approximately $72 million. As of September 30, 2021, we have provisionally paid approximately $28 million in order to fully preserve our rights to object to the CRA's audit positions, being the minimum payment required under Canadian legislation while the matter is in dispute. This amount is recorded within "Long-term income taxes recoverable" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2021.

The notices of reassessment for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016 would, as drafted, increase our taxable income by approximately $90 million to $100 million for each of those years, as well as impose a 10% penalty on the proposed adjustment to income. Audits by the CRA of our tax returns for fiscal years prior to Fiscal 2012 have been completed with no reassessment of our income tax liability.

We strongly disagree with the CRA's positions and believe the reassessments of Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016 (including any penalties) are without merit. We have filed notices of objection for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016. We are currently seeking competent authority consideration under applicable international treaties in respect of these reassessments.

Even if we are unsuccessful in challenging the CRA's reassessments to increase our taxable income for Fiscal 2012, Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016, we have elective deductions available for those years (including carry-backs from later years) that would offset such increased amounts so that no additional cash tax would be payable, exclusive of any assessed penalties and interest, as described above.

The CRA is also currently auditing Fiscal 2017 on a basis that we strongly disagree with and will vigorously contest. The focus of the CRA audit has been the valuation of certain intellectual property and goodwill when one of our subsidiaries continued into Canada from Luxembourg in July 2016. In accordance with applicable rules, these assets were recognized for tax purposes at fair market value as of that time, which value was supported by an expert valuation prepared by an independent

leading accounting and advisory firm. In conjunction with the Fiscal 2017 audit, the CRA issued a proposal letter dated April 7, 2021 (Proposal Letter) indicating to us that it proposes to reassess our Fiscal 2017 tax year to reduce the depreciable basis of these assets. We are currently engaged in dialogue with the CRA regarding the 2017 audit and have made extensive submissions in support of our position. CRA’s currently-proposed position for Fiscal 2017 relies in significant part on the application of its positions regarding our transfer pricing methodology that are the basis for its reassessment of our fiscal years 2012 to 2016 described above, and that we believe are without merit. Other aspects of CRA’s currently-proposed position for Fiscal 2017 conflict with the expert valuation prepared by the independent leading accounting and advisory firm that was used to support our original filing position. If the CRA determines to issue a notice of reassessment in respect of Fiscal 2017 on the basis of its position set forth in the Proposal Letter and we are ultimately unsuccessful in defending our position, the estimated impact of the proposed adjustment could result in us recording an income tax expense, with no immediate cash payment, to reduce the stated value of our deferred tax assets of up to approximately $470 million. Any such income tax expense could also have a corresponding cash tax impact that would primarily occur over a period of several future years based upon annual income realization in Canada. We strongly disagree with the CRA’s position for Fiscal 2017 and intend to vigorously defend our original filing position.

We will continue to vigorously contest the proposed adjustments to our taxable income and any penalty and interest assessments, as well as any proposed reduction to the basis of our depreciable property. We are confident that our original tax filing positions were appropriate. Accordingly, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not recorded any accruals in respect of these reassessments or proposed reassessment in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The CRA is currently in preliminary stages of auditing Fiscal 2018 and Fiscal 2019.

Carbonite Class Action Complaint

On August 1, 2019, prior to our acquisition of Carbonite, a purported stockholder of Carbonite filed a putative class action complaint against Carbonite, its former Chief Executive Officer, Mohamad S. Ali, and its former Chief Financial Officer, Anthony Folger, in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts captioned Ruben A. Luna, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Carbonite, Inc., Mohamad S. Ali, and Anthony Folger (No. 1:19-cv-11662-LTS). The complaint alleges violations of the federal securities laws under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint generally alleges that the defendants made materially false and misleading statements in connection with Carbonite’s Server Backup VM Edition, and seeks, among other things, the designation of the action as a class action, an award of unspecified compensatory damages, costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees, and other relief as the court deems appropriate. On August 23, 2019, a nearly identical complaint was filed in the same court captioned William Feng, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Carbonite, Inc., Mohamad S. Ali, and Anthony Folger (No. 1:19- cv-11808-LTS) (together with the Luna Complaint, the “Securities Actions”). On November 21, 2019, the court consolidated the Securities Actions, appointed a lead plaintiff, and designated a lead counsel. On January 15, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint generally making the same allegations and seeking the same relief as the complaint filed on August 1, 2019. The defendants moved to dismiss the Securities Actions on March 10, 2020. The motion was fully briefed in June 2020 and a hearing on the motion to dismiss the Securities Actions was held on October 15, 2020. Following the hearing, on October 22, 2020, the court granted with prejudice the defendants’ motion to dismiss the Securities Actions. On November 20, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. The appeal has been fully briefed and oral arguments before the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit were held on July 29, 2021. The court’s decision on the appeal is expected in the coming months and the defendants remain confident in the District Court’s dismissal with prejudice of the Securities Actions.

Carbonite vs Realtime Data

On February 27, 2017, before our acquisition of Carbonite, a non-practicing entity named Realtime Data LLC (Realtime Data) filed a lawsuit against Carbonite in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas "Realtime Data LLC v. Carbonite, Inc. et al (No 6:17-cv-00121-RWS-JDL)." Therein, it alleged that certain of Carbonite’s cloud storage services infringe upon certain patents held by Realtime Data. Realtime Data’s complaint against Carbonite sought damages in an unspecified amount and injunctive relief. On December 19, 2017, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas transferred the case to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts (No. 1:17-cv-12499). Realtime Data has also filed numerous other patent suits on the same asserted patents against other companies. After a stay pending appeal in one of those suits, on January 21, 2021, the Court held a hearing to construe the claims of the asserted patents. As to the fourth patent asserted against Carbonite, on September 24, 2019, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office Patent Trial and Appeal Board invalidated certain claims of that patent, including certain claims that had been asserted against Carbonite. The parties then jointly stipulated to dismiss that patent from this action. On August 23, 2021, in one of the suits against other companies, the District of Delaware (No. 1:17-cv-800), held all of the patents asserted against Carbonite to be invalid. Realtime Data has appealed that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We continue to vigorously defend the matter, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts indicated, on September 30, 2021, that it will issue a claim construction

order before staying the case pending the appeal in the related case. We have not accrued a loss contingency related to this matter because litigation related to a non-practicing entity is inherently unpredictable. Although a loss is reasonably possible, an unfavorable outcome is not considered by management to be probable at this time and we remain unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of loss associated with this litigation.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

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

The effective tax rate decreased to a provision of 24.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a provision of 29.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Tax expense increased from $42.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $43.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021. This was primarily due to (i) an increase of $8.3 million relating to higher net income including the impact of foreign rates and (ii) an increase of $7.6 million related to tax benefits of internal reorganizations in Fiscal 2021 that did not reoccur in Fiscal 2022. These were partially offset by (i) a decrease of $4.1 million related to the US Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax (US BEAT), (ii) a decrease of $3.5 million for changes in unrecognized tax benefits, (iii) a decrease of $3.2 million related to differences in tax filings being lower than estimates and (iv) a decrease of $1.2 million related to permanent differences. The remainder of the difference was due to normal course movements and non-material items.

We recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, we recognized the following amounts as income tax-related interest expense and penalties:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020
Interest expense (recoveries)	$	99	$	2,549
Penalties expense (recoveries)	(25)		(322)
Total	$	74	$	2,227

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

	As of September 30, 2021		As of June 30, 2021
Interest expense accrued (1)	$	5,376	$	5,166
Penalties accrued (1)	$	2,556	$	2,605

(1) These balances are primarily included within "Long-term income taxes payable" within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We believe that it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits, as of September 30, 2021, could decrease tax expense in the next 12 months by $3.7 million, relating primarily to the expiration of competent authority relief and tax years becoming statute barred for purposes of future tax examinations by local taxing jurisdictions.

Our four most significant tax jurisdictions are Canada, the United States, Luxembourg and Germany. Our tax filings remain subject to audits by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. The earliest fiscal years open for examination are 2012 for Germany, 2016 for the United States, 2015 for Luxembourg, and 2012 for Canada.

We are subject to tax audits in all major taxing jurisdictions in which we operate and currently have tax audits open in Canada, the United States, Germany, India, Austria, Italy, France, the Philippines and South Africa. 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 Canada audits are included in note 14 "Guarantees and Contingencies".

The timing of the resolution of income tax audits is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities or possibly reach resolution of income tax audits in one or more jurisdictions. These assessments or settlements may or may not result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on tax filings. The actual amount of any change could vary significantly depending on the ultimate timing and nature of any settlements. We cannot currently provide an estimate of the range of possible outcomes. For more information relating to certain tax audits, please refer to note 14 "Guarantees and Contingencies".

As of September 30, 2021, we have recognized a provision of $27.2 million (June 30, 2021—$27.5 million) in respect of both additional foreign 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 German subsidiaries, that will be subject to withholding taxes upon distribution. We have not provided for additional foreign withholding taxes or deferred income tax liabilities related to undistributed earnings of all other non-Canadian subsidiaries, since such earnings are considered permanently invested in those subsidiaries or are not subject to withholding taxes. It is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amount of additional deferred income tax liabilities or foreign withholding taxes that may be payable should these earnings be distributed in the future.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following types of instruments as of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021:

	September 30, 2021								June 30, 2021
			Fair Market Measurements using:								Fair Market Measurements using:
	September 30, 2021		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets/ (liabilities)		Significant other observable inputs		Significant unobservable inputs		June 30, 2021		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)

Total	$	(736)	$	—	$	(736)	$	—	$	1,131	$	—	$	1,131	$	—

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

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

The fair value of our Senior Notes is determined based on observable market prices and categorized as a Level 2 measurement. As of September 30, 2021, the fair value was $2.7 billion (June 30, 2021—$2.7 billion). The carrying value of our other long-term debt facilities approximates the fair value since the interest rate is at market. Please see note 11 "Long-Term Debt" for further details.

If applicable, we will recognize transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the actual event or change in circumstance occurs. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, we did not have any transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, no indications of impairments were identified and therefore no fair value measurements were required.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

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

We have designated these transactions as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions under ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (Topic 815). As 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 (Loss), net". The fair value of the contracts, as of September 30, 2021, is recorded within "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" and represents the net loss before tax effect that is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings with the next twelve months.

As of September 30, 2021, the notional amount of forward contracts we held to sell U.S. dollars in exchange for Canadian dollars was $67.3 million (June 30, 2021—$66.9 million).

COVID-19 Restructuring Plan

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we made a strategic decision to move towards a significant work from home model. We began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations and significantly reduce our real estate footprint around the world (COVID-19 Restructuring Plan). The COVID-19 Restructuring Plan charges relate to workforce reductions and facility costs, including the accelerated amortization associated with the abandonment of ROU assets, the write-off of fixed assets and other related variable lease and exit costs. These charges require management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate. With respect to the COVID-19 Restructuring Plan, at the time of initial abandonment we assumed there would be no additional sublease income, lease assignments or early terminations from vacated facilities.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded net recoveries of $0.4 million related to abandoned facilities and workforce reductions.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded net charges of $3.0 million related to abandoned facilities and workforce reductions and $0.6 million associated with the write-off of fixed assets.

Since the inception of the plan, $44.2 million has been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date. We do not expect to incur any further significant charges relating to this plan.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending restructuring liability, which is included within "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 is shown below.

Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan

During Fiscal 2020, we began to implement restructuring activities to streamline our operations (Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan), including in connection with our acquisitions of Carbonite and XMedius, to take further steps to improve our operational efficiency. The Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan charges relate to workforce reductions and facility costs, including the accelerated amortization associated with the abandonment of ROU assets, the write-off of fixed assets and other related variable lease and exit costs. These charges require management to make certain judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of restructuring charges or recoveries. Our estimated liability could change subsequent to its recognition, requiring adjustments to the expense and the liability recorded. On a quarterly basis, we conduct an evaluation of the related liabilities and expenses and revise our assumptions and estimates as appropriate. With respect to the Fiscal 2020 Restructuring Plan, at the time of the initial abandonment we assumed there would be no additional sublease income, lease assignments or early terminations from vacated facilities.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded net recoveries of $0.1 million related to abandoned facilities and workforce reductions.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded net charges of $8.7 million related to abandoned facilities and workforce reductions.

Since the inception of the plan, $30.3 million has been recorded within "Special charges (recoveries)" to date. We do not expect to incur any further significant charges relating to this plan.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

EARNINGS PER SHARE

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

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

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

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, Mr. Stephen Sadler, a member of the Board of Directors, earned $4 thousand (three months ended September 30, 2020—$6 thousand) 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.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Use of estimates

Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. We 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, key estimates, judgments and assumptions include those related to: (i) revenue recognition, (ii) accounting for income taxes, (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) the valuation of stock options granted and obligations related to share-based payments, including the valuation of our long-term incentive plans, and (x) the valuation of pension obligations.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in Fiscal 2022

During Fiscal 2022, we have adopted the following Accounting Standards Update (ASU) that did not have a material impact to our reported financial position, results of operations or cash flows:

•ASU 2019-12 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes"

Contract Balances

Contract Balances

A contract asset, net of allowance for credit losses, will be recorded if we have recognized revenue but do not have an unconditional right to the related consideration from the customer. For example, this will be the case if implementation services offered in a cloud arrangement are identified as a separate performance obligation and are provided to a customer prior to us being able to bill the customer. In addition, a contract asset may arise in relation to subscription licenses if the license revenue that is recognized upfront exceeds the amount that we are able to invoice the customer at that time. Contract assets are reclassified to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional.

Leases

We enter into operating leases, both domestically and internationally, for certain facilities, automobiles, data centers and equipment for use in the ordinary course of business. The duration of the majority of these leases generally ranges from 1 to 10 years, some of which include options to extend for an additional 3 to 5 years after the initial term. Additionally, the land upon which our headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada is located is leased from the University of Waterloo for a period of 49 years beginning in December 2005, with an option to renew for an additional term of 49 years. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and we do not have any material finance leases.
