Cash and cash equivalents

For reporting cash and cash equivalents, the Company considers all liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Fair value of financial instruments

Concentration of credit risks

The Company considers the risks of non-performance by the counterparty as not material. The Company utilizes standard counterparty master agreements containing provisions for the netting of certain foreign currency transaction obligations. The Company also mitigates the credit risk of these derivatives by transacting with highly rated counterparties globally, which are major banks. The Company evaluates the credit and non-performance risks associated with its derivative counterparties, and believes that the impact of the credit risk associated with the outstanding derivatives was insignificant.

Earnings per share

During 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock split of its outstanding common shares. On November 3, 2014, an additional common share was issued for each existing common share held by shareholders of record on October 20, 2014. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect this stock split.

Vacation pay

The gross charge for unutilized earned leave was $3.4 million, $5.3 million and $5.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The amounts accrued for unutilized earned leave were $23.1 million and $22.4 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and are included within accrued payroll and related costs.

Income taxes

Recently adopted accounting standards

Recently issued accounting standards

In January 2017, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2017-04) to the standard on Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the Board eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. The amendments in this Update modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. An entity no longer will determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Because these amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, they should reduce the cost and complexity of evaluating goodwill for impairment. For public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer should adopt the amendments in this update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The requirements of this ASU are not expected to have material impact on Consolidated Financial Statements.

The benefit of the tax holiday under Indian Income Tax was $38.97 million, $45.6 million and $43.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company reversed a provision for tax of $3.08 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 due to the expiration of the time limit with respect to a particular tax provision.

During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the effective income tax rate was 121.0%, 22.8% and 21.7%, respectively.

The tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014 was impacted by a favorable adjustment of $1.20 million, relating to the true up of tax provisions, upon the finalization of the tax computation of Syntel India, which was finalized after setoff of unabsorbed inter-company expenses. Further, a $0.86 million charge of tax has arisen on account of a tax dispute raised during the year. The Company has provided tax charges of $1.63 million and $0.88 million on account of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets recognized on investments and the minimum alternative tax. Without the above, the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014 would have been 21.1%.

The following table accounts for the differences between the actual effective tax rate and the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate of 35% for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014:

During the year December 31, 2016 $0.75 million was held as a security deposit concerning a performance guarantee for certain leasehold improvements in Syntel Poland in favor of the lessor.

The Company is party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including litigation and governmental and regulatory controls. The Company’s estimates regarding legal contingencies are based on information known about the matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. It is the opinion of management with respect to pending or threatened litigation matters that unfavorable outcomes are neither probable nor remote and that estimates of possible loss are not able to be made. Although actual amounts could differ from management’s estimate, none of the actions are believed by management to involve future amounts that would be material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
