CA Technologies Segment results Note: FY11- FY12 is unaudited. FY11 growth rates are a preliminary estimate. $’s millions

CA Technologies Segment descriptions • Mainframe Solutions - Our Mainframe Solutions segment addresses the mainframe market and is focused on making significant investments in order to be innovative in key management disciplines across our broad portfolio of products. Ongoing development is guided by customer needs, our cross- enterprise management philosophy and our Mainframe 2.0 strategy, which offers management capabilities designed to appeal to the next generation of mainframe staff while also offering productivity improvements to today's mainframe experts. Our mainframe business assists customers by addressing three major challenges: lowering costs, providing high service levels by sustaining critical workforce skills and increasing agility to help deliver on business goals. • Enterprise Solutions - Our Enterprise Solutions segment includes products that operate on non- mainframe platforms, such as service assurance, security (identity and access management), project and portfolio management, service management, virtualization and service automation, SaaS, and cloud offerings. Our offerings help customers address their regulatory compliance demands, privacy needs, and internal security policies. Enterprise Solutions also focuses on delivering growth to the Company in the form of new customer acquisitions and revenue, while leveraging non-traditional routes-to-market and delivery models. • Services - Our Services segment offers implementation, consulting, education and training services to customers, which is intended to promote a seamless customer experience and to increase the value that customers realize from our solutions.

CA Technologies Segment information The software product revenue is assigned to the Mainframe Solutions and Enterprise Solutions segments based on either: (1) a list price allocation method (which allocates a discount in the total contract price to the individual products in proportion to the list price of the products); (2) allocations included within internal contract approval documents; or (3) the value for individual software products as stated in the customer contract. The price for the implementation, consulting, education and training services is separately stated in the contract and these amounts of contract revenue are assigned to the Services segment. Segment expenses include costs that are controllable by segment managers (i.e., direct costs) and, in the case of the Mainframe Solutions and Enterprise Solutions segments, an allocation of shared and indirect costs (i.e., allocated costs). Segment-specific direct costs include a portion of selling and marketing costs, licensing and maintenance costs, product development costs, general and administrative costs and amortization of the cost of internally developed software. Allocated segment costs primarily include indirect selling and marketing costs and general and administrative costs that are not directly attributable to a specific segment. The basis for allocating shared and indirect costs between the Mainframe Solutions and Enterprise Solutions segments is dependent on the nature of the cost being allocated and is either in proportion to segment revenues or in proportion to the related direct cost category. Expenses for the Services segment consist only of direct costs and there are no allocated or indirect costs for the Services segment.

CA Technologies Outlines Business Strategy, Presents Multi-Year
Outlook to Investors

• CEO McCracken Maintains Management is Key to Enabling Era of Composite
Business Services

• Reaffirms Outlook for Fiscal Year 2012

ISLANDIA, N.Y., July 29, 2011 — CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) Chief Executive Officer Bill McCracken and members of his senior management team are presenting the Company’s market and technology strategy, and multi-year financial outlook during its 2011 Investor Day being held today in New York City.

At the session attended by more than 140 buy-side and sell-side analysts, McCracken and CA Technologies senior managers are discussing the Company strategy to leverage its leadership in mainframe and enterprise management solutions, and to build its capabilities in the hybrid cloud management, Software as a Service (SaaS) and Service Providers markets. They are also discussing how the Company will accelerate adoption of its solutions by customers in new and emerging markets.

Era of Composite Business Services

In opening the session, McCracken maintained that the industry is experiencing a convergence of several key technologies and trends — mobile devices, increased bandwidth, mobile applications, corporate adoption of social media and location-based computing — that are radically changing the computing landscape.

“These trends and technologies are rapidly expanding the boundaries of composite business services that leading companies will come to rely on to sell products and services, interact with customers in real time, and gather and share data,” McCracken said.

The IT industry, he said, is leveraging cloud computing to enable organizations to source the best components—internal, external, private cloud, public cloud, mobile and more—to construct the most competitive business applications in days rather than months.

McCracken told investors that CA Technologies is focused on providing the management and security software required by companies to take full advantage of this evolution.

“With the adoption of Composite Business Services, the applications, which may be sourced from multiple vendors, are becoming commoditized and the ability to quickly assemble the business service in a managed and secure way is becoming the business value. This industry shift will require, more than ever, what CA Technologies has done successfully for 35 years: manage and secure the most complex IT environments,” he said.

Outlook

The Company’s three-year financial outlook beginning in fiscal year 2013 was disclosed including:

• Organic revenue growth in constant currency in mid-single digits;

• Non-GAAP operating margin expanding 1 point per year;

• Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share growth in constant currency in low double digits (CAGR);

• Cash flow from operations growth in constant currency in the high single digits (CAGR);

• A non-GAAP tax rate of between 28 percent to 30 percent; and,

• Share repurchases and dividends of 40 percent to 50 percent of free cash flow.

The Company also reaffirmed its fiscal year 2012 outlook issued on July 20, 2011.

“Our three-year outlook represents our strategic, balanced approach to capital allocation to meet our goal of increasing shareholder value,” said Richard Beckert, CA Technologies chief financial officer. “We will make investments to grow—both organically and through acquisitions—especially in the areas of hybrid cloud management, SaaS and MSPs, while increasing operating efficiency to further invest in growth areas and drive operating margin expansion. We also are committed to returning cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.”

Joining McCracken and Beckert at the event are David Dobson, executive vice president and group executive, Customer Solutions Group; George Fischer, executive vice president and group executive, Worldwide Sales and Operations; Dayton Semerjian, general manager, Mainframe Customer Solutions Unit; Michael Sargent, general manager, Service Assurance Customer Solutions Unit; and Nimsoft CEO Christopher O’Malley, and general manager, Growth Markets Customer Solutions Unit.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release refers to certain financial measures that exclude the impact of certain items and therefore have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Non-GAAP metrics for operating expenses, operating income, operating margin, income from operations and diluted earnings per share exclude the following items: non-cash amortization of purchased software and other intangibles, share-based compensation, pre-fiscal year 2010 restructuring and certain other gains and losses, which includes recoveries and certain costs associated with derivative litigation matters and includes the gains and losses since inception of hedges that mature within the quarter, but exclude gains and losses of hedges that do not mature within the quarter. Prior to fiscal year 2011, non-GAAP income also excludes the interest on convertible bonds. The effective tax rate on GAAP and non-GAAP income from operations is the Company’s provision for income taxes expressed as a percentage of pre-tax GAAP and non-GAAP income from operations, respectively. Such tax rates are determined based on an estimated effective full year tax rate, with the effective tax rate for GAAP generally including the impact of discrete items in the period such items arise and the effective tax rate for non-GAAP income generally allocating the impact of discrete items pro rata to the fiscal year’s remaining reporting periods. Non-GAAP adjusted cash flow excludes pre-fiscal 2010 restructuring and other payments. Free cash flow excludes capital expenditures. We present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current and comparative prior period results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the last day of the Company’s prior fiscal year. Constant currency excludes the impacts from the Company’s hedging program. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. By excluding these items, non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results and cash flows, to competitors’ operating results and cash flows, and to estimates made by securities analysts. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate its performance and they are key variables in determining management incentive compensation. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency of supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, the Company has historically reported similar non-GAAP financial measures to its investors and believes that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in its financial reporting. The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP metrics to their most directly comparable GAAP metrics for periods not yet completed because the information is not available without unreasonable effort.
