SS&C TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc., or Holdings, is our top-level holding company. SS&C Technologies, Inc., or “SS&C,” is our primary operating company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. The “Company” means SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including SS&C.

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These accounting principles were applied on a basis consistent with those of the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2013 (the “2012 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, except as noted elsewhere in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements) necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of March 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. These statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, which were included in the 2012 Form 10-K. The December 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for any subsequent quarters or the full year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, which amends the accounting guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income, but do require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about these amounts. For public companies, these amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The new guidance affects disclosures only and will have no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)— Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”), to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2013 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2. Equity and Stock-based Compensation

For stock options with time-based vesting and restricted stock, the total amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income was as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013		2012
Statements of Comprehensive Income Classification
Cost of software-enabled services	$	752	$	280
Cost of maintenance		70		57
Cost of professional services		88		74

Total cost of revenues		910		411
Selling and marketing		304		239
Research and development		230		121
General and administrative		662		458

Total operating expenses		1,196		818

Total stock-based compensation expense	$	2,106	$	1,229

A summary of stock option activity as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 is as follows:


	Shares of Common Stock Underlying Options
Outstanding at January 1, 2013		13,411,130
Granted		76,500
Cancelled/forfeited		(79,377	)
Exercised		(1,863,787	)

Outstanding at March 31, 2013		11,544,466

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded $16.1 million of income tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options. Of this amount, $3.5 million was recorded to Goodwill and $12.6 million was recorded to Additional paid-in capital on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company realized $3.4 million of cash savings through March 31, 2013 related to these benefits, of which a proportional amount relating to the Additional paid in capital was recognized as cash inflows from financing activities while the remainder was recognized as cash inflows from operations on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

3. Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the relevant standards. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to the Company’s common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of stock options and restricted stock using the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of including such common equivalent shares is anti-dilutive because their exercise prices together with other assumed proceeds exceed the average fair value of common stock for the period.

The following table sets forth the weighted average common shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013		2012
Weighted average common shares outstanding — used in calculation of basic earnings per share		79,340		77,718
Weighted average common stock equivalents — options and restricted shares		4,430		4,289

Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding — used in calculation of diluted earnings per share		83,770		82,007

Options to purchase 2,947,279 and 258,220 shares were outstanding at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of including the options would be anti-dilutive.

4. Debt

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, debt consisted of the following (in thousands):


	March 31, 2013			December 31, 2012
Credit facility, weighted-average interest rate of 4.42%	$	976,000		$	1,021,000
Unamortized original issue discount		(8,527	)		(8,862	)

		967,473			1,012,138
Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt		(21,384	)		(22,248	)

Long-term debt	$	946,089		$	989,890

Capitalized financing costs of $1.0 million and $0.1 million were amortized to interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and the Company amortized to interest expense $0.3 million of the original issue discount in the three months ended March 31, 2013. The unamortized balance of capitalized financing costs is included in intangible and other assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s credit facility, which is a Level 2 liability, was $986.6 million and $1,030.0 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These fair values were computed based on comparable quoted market prices.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

As described below, the Company’s subsidiary, GlobeOp, is a defendant in pending litigation relating to several clients for which GlobeOp performed services.

Fairfield Greenwich-Related Actions

On April 29, 2009, GlobeOp was named as a defendant in a putative class action (the “Anwar Action”), filed by Pasha S. Anwar in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against multiple defendants relating to Greenwich Sentry L.P. and Greenwich Sentry Partners L.P., (the “FG Funds”), and the alleged losses sustained by the FG Funds’ investors as a result of Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi scheme. The complaint alleges breach of fiduciary duties by GlobeOp and negligence in the performance of its duties and seeks to recover as damages the net losses sustained by investors in the putative class, together with applicable interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. GlobeOp served as administrator for the Greenwich Sentry fund from October 2003 through August 2006 and for the Greenwich Sentry Partners fund from May 2006 through August 2006, during which time the net asset value of the Greenwich Sentry Fund was $135 million and the Greenwich Sentry Partners Fund was $6 million. On February 25, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification of a class consisting of all net loss investors in the litigated funds (excluding investors from a number of enumerated foreign countries). GlobeOp has petitioned the Court of Appeals to permit an interlocutory appeal of the class certification order. The Court of Appeals has not yet ruled on GlobeOp’s petition. Discovery is ongoing. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

GlobeOp was also named as one of five defendants in two derivative actions that were initially filed in New York State Supreme Court on February 13, 2009 and February 17, 2009. Following initial motion practice, the court ordered the plaintiffs to arbitrate the claims asserted against GlobeOp. A litigation trustee on behalf of the bankrupt FG Funds subsequently substituted in as the plaintiff in these actions, which relate to the same losses alleged in the Anwar Action. The litigation trustee is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, together with applicable interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees, as well as contribution and indemnification from GlobeOp for the FG Funds’ settlement with the Irving Picard, trustee for the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC. GlobeOp maintains that the prior orders compelling arbitration apply to the litigation trustee. The litigation trustee has not yet commenced arbitration proceedings. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

GlobeOp’s insurance policy for the time period in which the claims were made is not available to cover these matters. However, GlobeOp secured up to $10 million in insurance coverage for these matters pursuant to a drop-down agreement and release and is pursuing additional coverage. As a result, the Company has been reimbursed in excess of $3 million for litigation expenses from the inception of these matters.

GlobeOp believes it has complied with the terms of its service agreements with the FG Funds and that it does not have any fiduciary obligations relating to the FG Funds or their investors. GlobeOp believes that it has strong defenses in the Anwar Action and the actions brought by the litigation trustee and is vigorously contesting these matters.

Millennium Actions

The Millennium Actions have been filed in various jurisdictions against GlobeOp alleging claims and damages with respect to a valuation agent services agreement performed by GlobeOp for the Millennium Funds. These actions include (i) a class action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of investors in the Millennium Funds filed on May 14, 2012 asserting claims of $844 million (the alleged aggregate value of assets under management by the Millennium Funds at the funds’ peak valuation); (ii) an arbitration proceeding in the United Kingdom on behalf of the Millennium Funds’ investment manager, which commenced with a request for arbitration on July 11, 2011, seeking an indemnity of $26.5 million for sums paid by way of settlement to the Millennium Funds in a separate arbitration to which GlobeOp was not a party, as well as an indemnity for any losses that may be incurred by the investment manager in the U.S. class action; and (iii) a claim in the same arbitration proceeding by the Millennium Global Emerging Credit Master Fund Ltd against GlobeOp for damages alleged to be in excess of $160 million. These actions allege that GlobeOp breached its contractual obligations and/or negligently breached a duty of care in the performance of services for the funds and that, inter alia, GlobeOp should have discovered and reported a fraudulent scheme perpetrated by the portfolio manager employed by the investment manager. The putative class action pending in the Southern District of New York also asserts claims against SS&C identical to the claims against GlobeOp in that action. In the arbitration, GlobeOp has asserted counterclaims against both the investment managers and the Millennium Emerging Credit Mast Fund Ltd. for indemnity, including in respect of the U.S. class action. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters. An arbitration hearing on the merits of the claims is scheduled to begin in London on July 15, 2013.

GlobeOp has secured insurance coverage that provides reimbursement of various litigation costs up to pre-determined limits. In 2012 and 2013, GlobeOp was reimbursed for litigation costs under the applicable insurance policy.

The Company believes that it has strong defenses to the Millennium Actions and is vigorously contesting these matters.

In addition to the foregoing legal proceedings, from time to time, the Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of its business. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Company is not involved in any other such litigation or proceedings with third parties that management believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated results of operations are provided for illustrative purposes only and assume that the 2012 acquisitions of Hedgemetrix, Gravity, GlobeOp and the PORTIA Business, occurred on January 1, 2011. There were no acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2013. This unaudited pro forma information (in thousands, except per share data) should not be relied upon as being indicative of the historical results that would have been obtained if the acquisitions had actually occurred on that date, nor of the results that may be obtained in the future. The net assets and results of operations for these acquisitions are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

9. Subsequent Event

The Company is currently seeking a repricing amendment of its existing credit agreement to reduce the interest rate on approximately $634.5 million of existing term B-1 loans and approximately $65.6 million of existing term B-2 loans. If the amendment is successfully completed, the re-priced term B-1 and term B-2 loans would bear interest at either LIBOR plus 2.75% or at the base rate plus 1.75%, with LIBOR subject to a 0.75% floor, and, at any time that SS&C’s consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio is less than 2.75 times, would step down to 2.50% in the case of the LIBOR margin, and 1.50% in the case of the base rate margin. The proposed repricing amendment is subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance that such repricing will be completed on the terms contemplated, or on a timely basis, if at all.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Revenues

Our revenues consist primarily of software-enabled services and maintenance revenues, and, to a lesser degree, software license and professional services revenues. As a general matter, fluctuations in our software-enabled services revenues are attributable to the number of new software-enabled services clients as well as total assets under management in our clients’ portfolios and the number of outsourced transactions provided to our existing clients, while our software license and professional services revenues tend to fluctuate based on the number of new licensing clients. Maintenance revenues vary based on the rate by which we add or lose maintenance clients over time and, to a lesser extent, on the annual increases in maintenance fees, which are generally tied to the consumer price index.

The following table sets forth the percentage of our total revenues represented by each of the following sources of revenues for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013			2012
Revenues:
Software-enabled services		78	%		69	%
Software licenses		4			4
Maintenance		15			21
Professional services		3			6

Total revenues		100.0	%		100.0	%

The following table sets forth revenues (dollars in thousands) and percent change in revenues for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Percentage
	2013		2012		Change
Revenues:
Software-enabled services	$	135,739	$	64,575		110	%
Software licenses		6,070		3,810		59
Maintenance		26,015		19,498		33
Professional services		5,394		5,792		(7	)

Total revenues	$	173,218	$	93,675		85

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 versus 2012. Our revenues increased in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to revenues related to the acquisitions of GlobeOp and the PORTIA Business, which contributed $73.8 million in revenues, as well as a continued increase in demand for our hedge fund and private equity services from alternative investment managers. Our license and maintenance revenues experienced substantial increases due to revenues related to the PORTIA Business, which contributed $0.7 million and $7.3 million, respectively. Additionally, the number and average size of perpetual licenses sold increased from 2012, as well as revenue associated with term licenses.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of software-enabled services revenues consists primarily of the cost related to personnel utilized in servicing our software-enabled services clients and amortization of intangible assets. Cost of software license revenues consists primarily of amortization of completed technology, royalties, third-party software, and the costs of product media, packaging and documentation. Cost of maintenance revenues consists primarily of technical client support, costs associated with the distribution of products and regulatory updates and amortization of intangible assets. Cost of professional services revenues consists primarily of the cost related to personnel utilized to provide implementation, conversion and training services to our software licensees, as well as system integration and custom programming consulting services.

The following table sets forth each of the following cost of revenues as a percentage of their respective revenue source for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013			2012
Cost of revenues:
Cost of software-enabled services		59	%		51	%
Cost of software licenses		21			34
Cost of maintenance		40			44
Cost of professional services		91			69
Total cost of revenues		56			50
Gross margin percentage		44			50

The following table sets forth cost of revenues (dollars in thousands) and percent change in cost of revenues for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Percentage
	2013		2012		Change
Cost of revenues:
Cost of software-enabled services	$	80,727	$	32,912		145	%
Cost of software licenses		1,274		1,302		(2	)
Cost of maintenance		10,520		8,666		21
Cost of professional services		4,920		3,972		24

Total cost of revenues	$	97,441	$	46,852		108

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 versus 2012. Our total cost of revenues increased in the first quarter of 2013 primarily as a result of $36.4 million in costs associated with the acquisitions of GlobeOp and the PORTIA Business. The decrease in our gross margins is primarily due to amortization expense of $12.3 million related to intangible assets acquired in those acquisitions. Additionally, cost of software-enabled services revenues increased to support the increased demand for our hedge fund and private equity services from alternative investment managers and as a result of stock-based compensation expense due to the vesting of stock options in the period.

Operating Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of the personnel costs associated with the selling and marketing of our products, including salaries, commissions and travel and entertainment. Such expenses also include amortization of intangible assets, the cost of branch sales offices, trade shows and marketing and promotional materials. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs attributable to the enhancement of existing products and the development of new software products. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs related to management, accounting and finance, information management, human resources and administration and associated overhead costs, as well as fees for professional services. Transaction costs consist primarily of legal, third-party valuation and other fees related to our acquisitions of GlobeOp and the PORTIA Business.

The following table sets forth the percentage of our total revenues represented by each of the following operating expenses for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013			2012
Operating expenses:
Selling and marketing		5	%		8	%
Research and development		8			9
General and administrative		6			5
Transaction costs		—			4
Total operating expenses		20			26

The following table sets forth operating expenses (dollars in thousands) and percent change in operating expenses for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,				Percentage
	2013		2012		Change
Operating expenses:
Selling and marketing	$	9,464	$	7,372		28	%
Research and development		13,802		8,639		60
General and administrative		10,515		4,588		129
Transaction costs		—		4,153		(100	)

Total operating expenses	$	33,781	$	24,752		36

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 versus 2012. The increase in total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2013 was primarily due to our acquisitions of GlobeOp and the PORTIA Business, which added $10.4 million in costs, and amortization expense of $0.9 million related to intangible assets acquired in the acquisitions. Additionally, the first quarter of 2012 included transaction costs associated with those acquisitions.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 for Interest, Taxes and Other

Interest expense, net. We had interest expense, net of $12.5 million in 2013 compared to $0.5 million in 2012. The increase in interest expense in 2013 reflects the higher average debt balance resulting from the new credit facility, which was entered into during the second quarter of 2012 in connection with the acquisitions of GlobeOp and the PORTIA Business, and the related amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discount. These facilities are discussed further in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

Other income, net. Other income, net for 2013 consists primarily of foreign currency transaction gains. Other income, net for 2012 consisted primarily of a gain recorded on unsettled foreign currency contracts associated with the acquisition of GlobeOp.

Provision for Income Taxes.

The following table sets forth the provision for income taxes (dollars in thousands) and effective tax rates for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013			2012
Provision for income taxes	$	8,208		$	7,765
Effective tax rate		28	%		30	%

Our March 31, 2013 and 2012 effective tax rates differ from the statutory rate primarily due to the effect of our foreign operations. The decrease in effective rate from 2012 to 2013 was primarily due to the impact of foreign restructuring that was completed in December 2012. Our effective tax rate includes the effect of operations outside the United States, which historically have been taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate. While we have income from multiple foreign sources, the majority of the Company’s non-U.S. operations are in Canada, India and the United Kingdom, where we anticipate the statutory rates to be approximately 27%, 32% and 23%, respectively, in 2013. The consolidated expected effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013 is forecasted to be between 27% and 28%. A future proportionate change in the composition of income before income taxes from foreign and domestic tax jurisdictions could impact our periodic effective tax rate. Additionally, unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $7.6 million are likely to be recognized within the next 12 months due to the lapse of a statute of limitation, which would further impact our effective tax rate for 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal cash requirements are to finance the costs of our operations pending the billing and collection of client receivables, to fund payments with respect to our indebtedness, to invest in research and development and to acquire complementary businesses or assets. We expect our cash on hand and cash flows from operations to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, projected working capital requirements and capital spending for at least the next twelve months.

Our cash at March 31, 2013 was $68.8 million, a decrease of $17.4 million from $86.2 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease in cash is due primarily to cash used for repayments of debt and capital expenditures, partially offset by cash provided by operations.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $20.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to net income of $21.4 million adjusted for non-cash items of $21.8 million, partially offset by changes in our working capital accounts (excluding the effect of acquisitions) totaling $22.6 million. The changes in our working capital accounts were driven by decreases in accrued expenses and accounts payable and increases in accounts receivable, partially offset by increases in deferred revenues, prepaid expenses and other assets and a change in income taxes prepaid and payable. The increase in deferred revenues was primarily due to the collection of annual maintenance fees. The decrease in accrued expenses was primarily due to the payment of annual employee bonuses. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to the increase in revenue.

Investing activities used net cash of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily related to $2.0 million in cash paid for capital expenditures and $0.2 million in cash paid for capitalized software.

Financing activities used net cash of $34.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, representing $45.0 million in repayments of debt and $1.1 million in deferred financing costs, partially offset by proceeds of $8.9 million from stock option exercises and realized income tax windfall benefits of $2.7 million related to the exercise of stock options.

We have made a permanent reinvestment determination in certain non-U.S. operations that have historically generated positive operating cash flows. At March 31, 2013, we held approximately $43.4 million in cash and cash equivalents at non-U.S. subsidiaries where we had made such a determination and in turn no provision for U.S. income taxes had been made. As of March 31, 2013, we believe we have sufficient foreign tax credits available to offset tax obligations associated with the repatriation of funds at our Canadian operations. At March 31, 2013, we held approximately $19.5 million in cash by subsidiaries of our foreign debt holder that will be used to facilitate debt servicing of our foreign debt holder. At March 31, 2013, we held approximately $12.6 million in cash at our Indian operations that if repatriated to our foreign debt holder would incur distribution taxes of approximately $2.0 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Credit Facility

On March 14, 2012, in connection with our acquisition of GlobeOp, we entered into a Credit Agreement with SS&C and SS&C Technologies Holdings Europe S.A.R.L., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SS&C, or SS&C Sarl, as the borrowers. The Credit Agreement has four tranches of term loans: (i) a $0 term A-1 facility with a five and one-half year term for borrowings by SS&C, (ii) a $325 million term A-2 facility with a five and one-half year term for borrowings by SS&C Sarl, (iii) a $725 million term B-1 facility with a seven year term for borrowings by SS&C and (iv) a $75 million term B-2 facility with a seven year term for borrowings by SS&C Sarl. In addition, the Credit Agreement had a $142 million bridge loan facility, of which $31.6 million was immediately drawn, with a 364-day term available for borrowings by SS&C Sarl and has a revolving credit facility with a five and one-half year term available for borrowings by SS&C with $100 million in commitments. The revolving credit facility contains a $25 million letter of credit sub-facility and a $20 million swingline loan sub-facility. The bridge loan was repaid in July 2012 and is no longer available for borrowing.

The term loans and the revolving credit facility bear interest, at the election of the borrowers, at the base rate (as defined in Credit Agreement) or LIBOR, plus the applicable interest rate margin for the revolving credit facility. The term A loans and the revolving credit facility initially bear interest at either LIBOR plus 2.75% or at the base rate plus 1.75%, and then will be subject to a step-down based on SS&C’s consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio and would be equal to 2.50% in the case of the LIBOR margin, and 1.50% in the case of the base rate margin. The term B loans bear interest at either LIBOR plus 4.00% or at base rate plus 3.00%, with LIBOR subject to a 1.00% floor.

The initial proceeds of the borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to satisfy a portion of the consideration required to fund our acquisition of GlobeOp and refinance amounts outstanding under SS&C’s prior senior credit facility. As of March 31, 2013, there was $275.8 million in principal amount outstanding under the term A-2 facility, $634.5 million in principal amount outstanding under the term B-1 facility and $65.6 million in principal amount outstanding under the term B-2 facility.

Holdings, SS&C and the material domestic subsidiaries of SS&C have pledged substantially all of their tangible and intangible assets to support the obligations of SS&C and SS&C Sarl under the Credit Agreement. In addition, SS&C Sarl has agreed, in certain circumstances, to cause subsidiaries in foreign jurisdictions to guarantee SS&C Sarl’s obligations and pledge substantially all of their assets to support the obligations of SS&C Sarl under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things, pay dividends, incur debt or liens, redeem or repurchase equity, enter into transactions with affiliates, make investments, merge or consolidate with others or dispose of assets. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant requiring SS&C to maintain a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with the financial and non-financial covenants.

The Credit Agreement contains various events of default (including failure to comply with the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and related agreements) and upon an event of default, the lenders may, subject to various customary cure rights, require the immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding under the term loans, the bridge loans and the revolving credit facility and foreclose on the collateral.

Covenant Compliance

Under the Credit Agreement, we are required to satisfy and maintain a specified financial ratio and other financial condition tests. As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with the financial ratios and other financial condition tests. Our continued ability to meet this financial ratio and these tests can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet this ratio and these tests. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any event of default under the Credit Agreement, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit.

Consolidated EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used in key financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, which is a material facility supporting our capital structure and providing liquidity to our business. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the Credit Agreement. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Consolidated EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate compliance with the specified financial ratio and other financial condition tests contained in the Credit Agreement.

Management uses Consolidated EBITDA to gauge the costs of our capital structure on a day-to-day basis when full financial statements are unavailable. Management further believes that providing this information allows our investors greater transparency and a better understanding of our ability to meet our debt service obligations and make capital expenditures.

Any breach of covenants in the Credit Agreement that are tied to ratios based on Consolidated EBITDA could result in a default under that agreement, in which case the lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed immediately due and payable and to terminate any commitments they have to provide further borrowings. Any default and subsequent acceleration of payments under the Credit Agreement would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Additionally, under the Credit Agreement, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is also tied to ratios based on Consolidated EBITDA.

Consolidated EBITDA does not represent net income or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. Further, the Credit Agreement requires that Consolidated EBITDA be calculated for the most recent four fiscal quarters. As a result, the measure can be disproportionately affected by a particularly strong or weak quarter. Further, it may not be comparable to the measure for any subsequent four-quarter period or any complete fiscal year.

Consolidated EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and investors should not consider Consolidated EBITDA as a substitute for measures of our financial performance and liquidity as determined in accordance with GAAP, such as net income, operating income or net cash provided by operating activities. Because other companies may calculate Consolidated EBITDA differently than we do, Consolidated EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Consolidated EBITDA has other limitations as an analytical tool, when compared to the use of net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, including:

•

Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the provision of income tax expense in our various jurisdictions;

•

Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense we incur as a result of our debt leverage;

•

Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect any attribution of costs to our operations related to our investments and capital expenditures through depreciation and amortization charges;

•

Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the cost of compensation we provide to our employees in the form of stock option awards; and

•

Consolidated EBITDA excludes expenses that we believe are unusual or non-recurring, but which others may believe are normal expenses for the operation of a business.

The following is a reconciliation of net income to Consolidated EBITDA as defined in our Credit Agreement.

(1)

Purchase accounting adjustments include (a) an adjustment to increase rent expense by the amount that would have been recognized if lease obligations were not adjusted to fair value at the date of acquisitions and (b) an adjustment to increase revenues by the amount that would have been recognized if deferred revenue were not adjusted to fair value at the date of acquisitions.

(2)

Unusual or non-recurring charges include transaction costs, gains on currency contracts, foreign currency gains and losses, severance expenses, proceeds from legal and other settlements and other one-time expenses, such as expenses associated with facilities, acquisitions and the sale of fixed assets.

(3)	Acquired EBITDA reflects the EBITDA impact of significant businesses that were acquired during the period as if the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the period.

(4)	Other includes the non-cash portion of straight-line rent expense.

Our covenant requirement for net senior secured leverage ratio and the actual ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are as follows:


	Covenant Requirement		Actual Ratio
Maximum consolidated net senior secured leverage to Consolidated EBITDA ratio (1)		5.50x		3.42x

(1)

Calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured funded debt, net of cash and cash equivalents, to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the Credit Agreement, for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on the measurement date. Consolidated senior secured funded debt is comprised of indebtedness for borrowed money, notes, bonds or similar instruments, letters of credit, deferred purchase price obligations and capital lease obligations. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2013-02, which amends the accounting guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income, but do require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about these amounts. For public companies, these amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The new guidance affects disclosures only and will have no impact on our results of operations or financial position.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)— Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, or ASU 2012-02, to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2013 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We have invested our available cash in short-term, highly liquid financial instruments, having initial maturities of three months or less. When necessary, we have borrowed to fund acquisitions.

At March 31, 2013, we had total variable interest rate debt of $976.0 million. As of March 31, 2013, a 1% increase in interest rates would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $4.2 million per year.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, approximately 36% of our revenues were from clients located outside the United States. A portion of the revenues from clients located outside the United States is denominated in foreign currencies, the majority being the Canadian dollar. While revenues and expenses of our foreign operations are primarily denominated in their respective local currencies, some subsidiaries do enter into certain transactions in currencies that are different from their local currency. These transactions consist primarily of cross-currency intercompany balances and trade receivables and payables. As a result of these transactions, we have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates that result in foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which we report in other income (expense). These outstanding amounts were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The amount of these balances can fluctuate in the future as we bill customers and buy products or services in currencies other than our functional currency, which could increase our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. We continue to monitor our exposure to foreign exchange rates as a result of our acquisitions and changes in our operations. We do not enter into any market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.

The foregoing risk management discussion and the effect thereof are forward-looking statements. Actual results in the future may differ materially from these projected results due to actual developments in global financial markets. The analytical methods used by us to assess and minimize risk discussed above should not be considered projections of future events or losses.

Item 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2013. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2013, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
