SUNGARD DATA SYSTEMS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

1. Basis of Presentation:

 

SunGard Data Systems Inc. has three segments: Investment Support Systems (ISS), Availability Services (AS) and Higher Education and Public Sector Systems (HE/PS). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

 

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Interim financial reporting does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the six and three months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.

 

2. Acquisitions and Dispositions:

 

ACQUISITIONS:

 

The Company seeks to grow through both internal development and the acquisition of businesses that broaden or complement its existing product lines. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company completed five acquisitions in its ISS segment and three acquisitions in its HE/PS segment. Gross cash paid was $883 million, subject to certain adjustments, and there was $508 million of goodwill recorded in connection with these acquisitions, including the acquisition of Systems & Computer Technology Corporation (SCT) on February 12, 2004 for approximately $574 million in cash. SCT is part of the HE/PS segment.

In addition, because these allocations are still preliminary, it is likely that the estimated annual amortization expense will continue to be updated as the allocations are finalized.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, there were approximately 16.5 million and 18.8 million outstanding employee stock options, respectively, that are out-of-the-money and therefore excluded from the calculation of the dilutive effect of employee stock options. During the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, there were approximately 18.7 million and 18.0 million outstanding employee stock options, respectively, that are out-of-the-money and therefore excluded from the calculation of the dilutive effect of employee stock options. Stock options are considered to be out-of-the-money when the option exercise price exceeds the average share price during the respective periods. The range of exercise prices for out-of-the-money options for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2004 is $27.81 to $32.81 per share and $26.89 to $32.81 per share, respectively.

 

In February 2004, the Company announced a five million share repurchase program to provide

Internal revenue is defined as revenue from businesses owned for at least one year. When assessing our financial results, we focus on growth in internal revenue because overall revenue growth is affected by the timing and magnitude of acquisitions. In August 2002, we acquired 80% of Brut LLC (Brut), an electronic communications network (ECN), bringing our total ownership to 100%. Since the first year anniversary of that acquisition in August 2003, revenue from Brut has been classified as internal revenue. Since that time, the increase in internal revenue was primarily due to growth in Brut. Due to the pending sale of Brut to NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (see Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2004, we are presenting internal revenue growth with and without Brut for the total Company and for ISS for each of the past six quarters, as follows:

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003

 

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS:

 

Overall results were consistent with our expectations at the beginning of 2004. Our total operating margin declined to 19% from 20% in 2003 due to the negative impact on margins from acquired ISS businesses offset in part by the positive impact on margins from acquired HE/PS businesses and an improvement in the AS margin. We expect that our 2004 full-year operating margin will approximate our 2003 full-year margin of 21%. For this purpose, we assumed a continuation of the current demand environment for our products and services and an improvement in margins due to the anticipated sale of Brut. In addition, because the timing and magnitude of merger costs are unpredictable, we assumed no further merger-related items in 2004 and we have not taken into account the anticipated gain from the sale of Brut.

 

Investment Support Systems:

 

The ISS operating margin was 16% and 19% in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The ISS margin declined due primarily to the margins of acquired businesses, which are typically lower at the outset and improve over a number of years. In addition, with revenue from the Brut ECN growing faster than other ISS revenue, the structurally lower margin of ECNs compared to other ISS businesses also compressed the margin.

The AS operating margin was 29% and 26% in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The higher margin in

2004 was due primarily to lower depreciation expense because certain short-lived assets acquired in 2001 are fully depreciated, a decrease in commission expense resulting from lower sales, and lower costs associated with certain recovery resources.

The HE/PS operating margin was 14% and 11% in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The higher margin in 2004 was due primarily to acquired businesses.

 

REVENUE:

 

Total revenue increased $331 million in 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Internal revenue increased approximately 4% in 2004 compared to a decrease of approximately 1% in the same period in 2003. Excluding Brut, internal revenue grew approximately 1% in 2004. Currency fluctuation had a positive impact of approximately 2% on 2004 internal revenue growth.

 

Services revenue increased to $1.6 billion from $1.3 billion, representing approximately 90% and 91% of total revenue in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in revenue was due primarily to acquired businesses and brokerage and trading systems.

 

Professional services revenue was $245 million and $174 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase was due to acquired businesses.

 

Revenue from license and resale fees was $125 million and $86 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively, and included software license revenue of $94 million and $72 million, respectively. The increase in license and resale fees was due primarily to acquired businesses.

 

Investment Support Systems:

 

ISS revenue increased $174 million in 2004. ISS internal revenue increased approximately 6% in 2004 compared to a decrease of approximately 4% in the same period in 2003. Excluding Brut, internal revenue was unchanged in 2004.

 

ISS services revenue increased $148 million and ISS license and resale fees increased $4 million. The increase in services revenue was due primarily to acquired businesses and brokerage and trading systems. We believe that improvement in internal professional services revenue will depend, in part, on an improved IT spending environment, but will lag an increase in new contract signings. The increase in license and resale fees was due primarily to acquired businesses.

 

Reimbursed expenses revenue increased $21 million in 2004 compared to the corresponding period in 2003 due to Brut and the inclusion, effective January 1, 2004, of our output solutions business in ISS.

revenue increase of approximately 5% in 2003. The primary factors for the lower internal revenue growth were the loss of business to customers taking certain of their availability solutions in-house, as well as the pressure that this and other competitive and technological factors continue to have on prices. Among our largest customers, there is a trend toward dedicated solutions rather than traditional recovery solutions. The primary reason for this trend is that dedicated solutions, although more costly, provide greater control and faster response to processing interruptions. Many customers choose dedicated solutions provided by us in order to take advantage of our business continuity expertise and resource management capabilities. Other customers, especially among the very largest having significant IT resources, choose to manage these dedicated solutions in-house, often utilizing both ongoing technological advances and their excess data center capacity. When an existing customer augments or replaces a traditional shared SunGard solution with a dedicated SunGard solution, there is a positive impact on AS revenue, but usually at a lower incremental margin. Although we cannot predict the exact mix of customer decisions that will result from the trend toward dedicated solutions, we expect that this trend will continue to create pressure on our AS internal revenue growth rate. We believe that future increases in AS internal revenue will depend, in part, on an improving economy, but will lag an increase in IT capital spending.

Revenue from HE/PS increased $146 million in 2004 compared to the corresponding period in 2003. HE/PS services revenue increased $127 million and license and resale fees increased $29 million, due to acquired businesses. Reimbursed expenses revenue decreased $10 million in 2004 due to the reclassification, effective January 1, 2004, of our output solutions business from HE/PS to ISS.

 

COSTS AND EXPENSES:

 

Cost of sales and direct operating expenses increased as a percentage of total revenue to 46% in 2004 compared to 44% for the comparable period in 2003. The increase was due to acquired businesses and to Brut’s structurally higher cost of sales.

 

Sales, marketing and administration expenses increased $61 million in 2004 compared to the corresponding period in 2003, due primarily to acquired businesses.

 

Since AS product development costs are insignificant, it is more meaningful to look at product development expenses as a percentage of revenue from ISS and HE/PS. Product development costs were 10% and 11% of revenue from ISS and HE/PS in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization declined to 6% of total revenue in 2004 compared to 8% for the comparable period in 2003 because certain short-lived AS assets acquired in 2001 are fully depreciated.

 

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets increased $18 million to $58 million ($0.12 per diluted share compared to $0.08 per diluted share in 2003) due to recently acquired businesses.

 

Interest income for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $3 million. Interest expense in 2004 and 2003 was $14 million and $5 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense was due to the issuance of $500 million in senior unsecured notes in January 2004.

The ISS operating margin was 17% and 19% in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

 

Cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $278 million, an increase of $15 million over the comparable period in 2003. The increase in cash flow from operations was due to a

$22 million increase in net income and a $27 million benefit from non-cash expenses (depreciation, amortization and deferred income taxes), which were offset in part by a $19 million net increase in clearing broker assets and liabilities and a $15 million net increase in other working capital items. The net increase in clearing broker assets and liabilities is related to the timing of customer securities borrowing activities at the end of the second quarter of 2004.

 

At June 30, 2004, cash and equivalents were $312 million, a decrease of $167 million from December 31, 2003. Earned but unbilled receivables increased $59 million since December 31, 2003, including $48 million relating to HE/PS, a substantial portion of which results from SCT’s practice of billing maintenance services annually in arrears. At June 30, 2004, we had $50 million of short-term debt and $652 million of long-term debt, while stockholders’ equity exceeded $2.9 billion. On January 15, 2004, we borrowed $500 million by issuing senior unsecured notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, we spent $749 million (net of cash acquired) on acquisitions, $114 million on capital expenditures and $66 million to repurchase common stock under our stock repurchase program announced February 2004. We believe that capital spending in 2004 will not exceed $250 million.

 

In addition to our short- and long-term debt, our remaining commitments consist primarily of operating leases for computer equipment and facilities; purchase obligations, consisting of the minimum outstanding obligations under non-cancelable commitments to purchase goods or services; and contingent purchase price obligations for previously completed acquisitions, subject to the operating performance of the acquired businesses. Contingent purchase price obligations cannot exceed $195 million and could be paid over the next two years. The maximum amount payable within the next twelve months is $82 million, of which we currently expect to pay $10 million. We also have outstanding letters of credit and bid bonds that total approximately $33 million.

 

We do not participate in, nor have we created, any off-balance sheet special purpose entities or other off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases.

 

We expect that our existing cash resources and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements, debt repayments, contingent acquisition payments, stock repurchases and ordinary capital spending needs for the foreseeable future. We have a $600 million revolving credit facility, of which $460 million is available at June 30, 2004. We believe that we have the capacity to secure additional credit or issue equity to finance additional capital needs.

 

EFFECT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

 

In March 2004, the FASB issued an exposure document entitled “Share-Based Payment - an amendment of Statements No. 123 and 95 (Proposed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards).” The Proposed Statement would eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25 and generally require instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. This accounting, if approved, will result in significant non-cash compensation expense. The Proposed Statement, if adopted, would be applied to public entities prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004, as if all share-based compensation awards granted, modified, or settled after December 15, 1994, had been accounted for using the fair-value method of accounting. Retrospective application of the Proposed Statement is not permitted.

CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES:

 

Certain of the matters we discuss in this Form 10-Q, including our expected margins, revenue and spending and all other statements in this Form 10-Q other than historical facts, constitute forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or similar expressions which concern our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. All of these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those we expected. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include: general economic and market conditions, including the lingering effects of the economic slowdown on information technology spending levels, trading volumes and services revenue, and including the fact that the economic slowdown has left many companies with excess data center capacity that provides them with the capability for in-house dedicated solutions; the overall condition of the financial services industry, including the effect of any further consolidation among financial services firms; the regulatory, credit and market risks associated with clearing broker operations; the integration of acquired businesses, the performance of acquired businesses including Systems & Computer Technology Corporation, acquired on February 12, 2004, and the prospects for future acquisitions; the effect of war, terrorism or catastrophic events; the timing and magnitude of software sales; the timing and scope of technological advances; the ability to retain and attract customers and key personnel; and the ability to obtain patent protection and avoid patent-related liabilities in the context of a rapidly developing legal framework for software and business-method patents. We may not be able to complete the Brut divestiture due to a number of factors, including the failure to obtain regulatory approvals. The factors described in this paragraph and other factors that may affect our business or future financial results, as and when applicable, are discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, a copy of which may be obtained from us without charge. We assume no obligation to update any written or oral forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf as a result of new information, future events or other factors.

 

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK:

 

We have rarely used derivative financial instruments to manage risk exposures and have never used derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Our available cash is invested in short-term, highly liquid financial instruments, with a substantial portion of such investments having initial maturities of three months or less. When necessary, we borrow to fund acquisitions. We do not believe that we have a material exposure to interest rates changes. Based on borrowings under our credit facility of $140 million at June 30, 2004, a 1% change in the borrowing rate would increase annual interest expense related to the credit facility by $1.4 million. A downgrade in our credit rating would result in an increase in our interest rate under our credit facility of up to 0.75%, while an upgrade in our credit rating would result in a decrease in our interest rate of 0.25%.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES:

 

  (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report were designed and functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. However, we caution that a system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

 

  (b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The terms of the 2004 Repurchase Program provide that we may repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time in the open market at the discretion of management. Shares purchased under the 2004 Repurchase Program will be used for our employee stock option and purchase plans. As of June 30, 2004, 2.5 million shares have been repurchased under the 2004 Repurchase Program. Unless earlier terminated by our Board of Directors, the 2004 Repurchase Program will expire on February 24, 2005.

(1) We believe that Mr. Bentley received a disproportionate number of withheld votes due to a recommendation by Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) to withhold votes for any audit committee member who previously was an officer of the company, no matter how long ago he left the company. Mr. Bentley was an officer of SunGard from 1988 to 1991 and has been an officer of a completely unaffiliated company since 1991. Mr. Bentley is considered “independent” under SEC and NYSE rules, and we believe that Mr. Bentley acts as a fully independent director and audit committee member.

Section 8. Stockholder Business and Nominations.

 

(A) Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

 

(1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only (a) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) provided pursuant to Section 4 of Article II, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (c) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record of the Corporation at the time the notice provided for in this Section 8 is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 8.

 

(2) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (A)(1)(c) of this Section 8, (a) the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and (b) any such proposed business other than the nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors must be a proper subject for action by stockholders under

 

2


the laws of the State of Delaware and any other applicable law. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 120 days nor more than 150 days before the date of the Corporation’s proxy statement released to stockholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting (provided, however, that in the event that the date of the current year’s annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the previous year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not earlier than 150 days prior to the date of the current year’s annual meeting and not later than the later of 120 days prior to the date of such meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation). In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described in this paragraph (A)(2).

 

(3) A stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director (i) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as such regulation is then in effect, and (ii) such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected; (b) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, (ii) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), (iii) the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and (iv) any direct or indirect material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (c) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, (ii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are held of record and beneficially owned by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, if any, and (iii) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business or nominate the individual(s) specified in the stockholder’s notice. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the independence of such proposed nominee and his or her eligibility to serve as a director of the Corporation.

 

(B) Special Meetings of Stockholders. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder entitled to vote in such election of directors may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder gives notice in the form set forth in paragraph (A)(3) of this Section 8, which notice shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the 90th day prior to such

 

3


special meeting and not later than the later of the 60th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described in this paragraph (B).

 

(C) General.

 

(1) Except as otherwise provided by law, the chairman of a meeting of stockholders shall have the power and duty (a) to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in compliance with this Section 8 and (b) if any proposed nomination or business is determined not to be made or proposed in compliance with this Section 8, to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed business shall not be considered at the meeting. The chairman’s determination shall be conclusive and binding on all stockholders of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders to present a nomination or to propose business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be considered, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation.

 

(2) For purposes of this Section 8, “public announcement” shall include disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 8. Nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

 

Section 9. Voting. Every stockholder of record who is entitled to vote shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by him on the record date; except, however, that shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of the directors of such other corporation is held by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor counted for the quorum purposes. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as limiting the right of the Corporation to vote its own stock held by it in a fiduciary capacity. At all meetings of the stockholders at which a quorum is present, all matters shall be decided by majority vote of the shares of the stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, except as otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, and except that at all meetings of the stockholders at which Directors are to be elected, a plurality of the votes cast thereat shall elect Directors. The vote on all elections of Directors shall be by

 

4


written ballot, and upon demand of any stockholder, the vote on any other question before the meeting shall be by ballot or otherwise as determined by the chairman of the meeting. On a vote by written ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or in his name by his proxy, if there be such proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted by him and the number of votes to which each share is entitled.

 

Section 10. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall have the right to do so either in person or by an agent or agents authorized by a proxy granted in accordance with Delaware law. An agent so appointed need not be a stockholder. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of three years from the date thereof unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

 

Section 11. Action without a Meeting. No action shall be taken by the stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with these Bylaws, and no action shall be taken by the stockholders by written consent.
