SS&C TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. 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. We, us, our and the Company mean 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 SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc.s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 11, 2011 (the 2010
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, 2011, the results of its
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and its cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. 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, 2010, which were included in the 2010 Form
10-K. The December 31, 2010 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, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of
the expected results for the full year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards
Update (ASU) No. 2010-29, which updates the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)
Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASU 2010-29). The objective of ASU 2010-29 is to address
diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure
requirements for business combinations. The amendments in ASU 2010-29 specify that if a public
entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings
of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year
had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The
amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the
nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the
business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. This guidance is
effective for business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the beginning of the first
annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted this standard
beginning January 1, 2011, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):
When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative
Carrying Amounts (ASU 2010-28). ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test so that
for those reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, an entity is required to perform
Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not based on an assessment of
qualitative indicators that goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely
than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse
qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal
years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company
adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2011, and the adoption did not have a material impact on
its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
2. The Transaction
The Company acquired SS&C on November 23, 2005 through the merger of Sunshine Merger Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with and into SS&C, with SS&C surviving the merger as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Company (the Transaction).
3. Equity and Stock-based Compensation
In February 2011, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of its common stock at an
offering price of $17.60 per share. The offering included 2,000,000 newly issued shares of common
stock sold by the Company and 9,000,000
existing shares of the Companys common stock sold by selling stockholders. On March 9, 2011, the
underwriters of the offering purchased an additional 1,100,000 shares of the Companys common stock
to cover over-allotments. The Company received total net proceeds from the offering, including the
sale of shares to cover over-allotments, of approximately $52.0 million, none of which relates to
proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders.
5
In March 2011, the Companys Board of Directors established SS&Cs annual EBITDA target range for
the Companys 2011 fiscal year. As of that date, the Company estimated the weighted-average fair
value of the performance-based options that vest upon the attainment of the 2011 EBITDA target
range to be $11.41 per share. The Company used the following weighted-average assumptions to
estimate the option value: expected term to exercise of 2.5 years; expected volatility of 38.0%;
risk-free interest rate of 1.0%; and no dividend yield. Expected volatility is based on the
historical volatility of the Companys peer group and the Company. Expected term to exercise is
based on the Companys historical stock option exercise experience.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded total stock-based compensation
expense of $1.8 million, of which $0.8 million related to the performance-based options based upon
managements assessment of the probability that the Companys EBITDA for 2011 will meet or exceed
the high end of the targeted range. Time-based options represented the remaining $1.0 million of
compensation expense recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recorded total stock-based compensation
expense of $1.3 million, of which $1.1 million related to performance-based options based upon
managements assessment of the probability that the Companys EBITDA for the Companys 2010 fiscal
year would meet or exceed the high end of the targeted range. Time-based options represented the
remaining $0.2 million of compensation expense recorded during the three months ended March 31,
2010.
The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Companys condensed consolidated
statements of operations was as follows (in thousands):

4. Comprehensive Income
Items defined as comprehensive income, such as foreign currency translation adjustments and
unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate swaps qualifying as hedges, are separately classified in
the financial statements. The accumulated balance of other comprehensive income is reported
separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section
of the balance sheet. Total comprehensive income consists of net income and other accumulated
comprehensive income disclosed in the equity section of the balance sheet.

5. Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated in accordance with relevant accounting guidance as
follows. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available
to the Companys 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 shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common
equivalent shares consist of stock options and restricted shares 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 antidilutive because their exercise prices
together with other assumed proceeds exceed the average fair value of common stock during 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):

respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the
effect of including the options would be antidilutive.

Capitalized financing costs of $0.5 million and $0.6 million were amortized to interest expense
during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The estimated fair value of the Companys senior subordinated notes due 2013 was $68.9 million and
$137.8 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The carrying value of the
Companys senior credit facility approximates its fair value given the variable rate nature of the
debt.
In February 2011, the Company issued a notice of redemption for $66.6 million in principal amount
of its outstanding 113/4% senior subordinated notes due 2013 at a redemption price of 102.9375% of
the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such amount to, but excluding, March 17,
2011, the day such redemption was completed. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt
of $2.9 million in connection with the redemption, which includes the redemption
premium of $2.0 million and $0.9 million relating to the write-off of deferred financing fees
attributable to the redeemed notes.

7. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company has utilized interest rate swap agreements to manage the floating rate portion of its
debt portfolio and follows the provisions of the accounting standard for derivative instruments and
hedging activities, which requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet
at fair value.
Quarterly variable interest payments were recognized as an increase in interest expense as follows

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had no outstanding interest rate swap agreements. As of March
31, 2010, the Company held one receive-variable/pay-fixed interest rate swap with a notional value
of $100 million, which expired on December 31, 2010.
8. Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the provisions of the accounting standard for fair value measurements with
respect to the valuation of its interest rate swap agreements. The fair value measurement standard
clarifies that companies are required to use a fair value measure for recognition and disclosure by
establishing a common definition of fair value, a framework for measuring fair value, and that
companies are required to expand disclosures about fair value measurements.
The accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosure establishes a three-tier fair
value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as
inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly
observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists,
therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
As of March 31, 2011, the Companys contingent consideration liability associated with BenefitsXML
(BXML) of $1.8 million was measured at fair value using estimated future cash flows based on the
potential payments of the liability based on the unobservable input of the estimated
post-acquisition financial results of BXML through February 28, 2013 and, therefore, is a Level 3
liability. See Footnote 10 for further discussion of acquisitions.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal
course of its business. In the opinion of management, the Company is not involved in any litigation
or proceedings by third parties that management believes could have a material adverse effect on
the Company or its business.
10. Acquisitions
On March 10, 2011, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of BXML for approximately
$15.1 million in cash, plus the costs of effecting the transaction and the assumption of certain
liabilities. BXML provides technology solutions for employee benefit plan providers.
8
The net assets and results of operations of BXML have been included in the Companys consolidated
financial statements from March 10, 2011. The purchase price was allocated to tangible and
intangible assets based on their fair value at the date
of acquisition. The fair value of the intangible assets, consisting of completed technology, trade
name and client contracts, was determined using the income approach. Specifically, the
relief-from-royalty method was utilized for the completed technology and trade name, and the
discounted cash flows method was utilized for the contractual relationships. The intangible assets
are amortized each year based on the ratio that the projected cash flows for the intangible assets
bear to the total of current and expected future cash flows for the intangible assets. The
completed technology is amortized over approximately five years, contractual relationships are
amortized over approximately five years and trade name is amortized over approximately seven years,
the estimated lives of the assets. The Company has recorded a contingent consideration liability of
$1.8 million, which is based on the attainment of certain revenue and Earnings before Interest,
Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) targets by the acquired business through February
28, 2013. The total possible undiscounted payments could range from zero to $3.0 million. The
remainder of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill and is tax deductible excluding the
portion relating to the contingent consideration liability.

The preliminary purchase price allocations for the acquisition completed during the first quarter
of fiscal 2011 were based upon a preliminary valuation, and our estimates and assumptions for this
acquisition are subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the
respective measurement periods. The primary areas of those purchase price allocations that are not
yet finalized relate to certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, identifiable intangible
assets, certain legal matters, income and non-income based taxes and residual goodwill.
The fair value of acquired accounts receivable balances for the acquisition completed during the
first quarter of fiscal 2011 approximates the contractual amounts due from acquired customers.
The Company reported revenues of $0.4 million and earnings of $0.2 million from BXML from the
acquisition date through March 31, 2011. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
results of operations are provided for illustrative purposes only and assume that the acquisition
of BXML, PC Consulting d/b/a TimeShareWare (TSW), thinkorswim Technologies, Inc. (TOS) and
Geller Investment Partnership Services (GIPS) occurred on January 1, 2010. This unaudited pro
forma information (in thousands) 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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by our
management, and such judgments are reflected in the amounts reported in our consolidated financial
statements. In applying these policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the
appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of estimates. Those estimates are based on
our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, managements observation of trends in the
industry, information provided by our clients and information available from other outside sources,
as appropriate. Actual results may differ significantly from the estimates contained in our
consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting
estimates and assumptions or the judgments affecting the application of those estimates and
assumptions since the filing of our 2010 Form 10-K. Our critical accounting policies are described
in the 2010 Form 10-K and include:

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, our
software license and professional services revenues fluctuate based on the number of new licensing
clients, while fluctuations in our software-enabled services revenues are attributable to the
number of new software-enabled services clients as well as the number of outsourced transactions
provided to our existing clients and total assets under management in our clients portfolios.
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.
11
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $89.0 million compared to $78.2 million for
the same period in 2010. The revenue increase of $10.8 million, or 14%, was primarily due to an
increase of $5.4 million in revenues for businesses and products that we have owned for at least 12
months, or organic revenues, and revenues from products and services that we acquired through our
acquisitions of GIPS in February 2010, TOS in October 2010, TSW in December 2010 and BXML in March
2011, which added $4.4 million in revenues in the aggregate. The favorable impact from foreign
currency translation accounted for $1.0 million of the increase, resulting from the weakness of the
U.S. dollar relative to currencies such as the Canadian dollar, the British pound, the Australian
dollar and the euro.
Software Licenses. Software license revenues were $6.6 million and $5.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in software license revenues of
$1.0 million, or 18%, was primarily due to an increase of $0.7 million in organic software license
revenues, revenues from acquisitions, which contributed $0.2 million, and a favorable impact from
foreign currency translation of $0.1 million. Software license revenues will vary depending on the
timing, size and nature of our license transactions. For example, the average size of our software
license transactions and the number of large transactions may fluctuate on a period-to-period
basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, revenues from term licenses and the average size
and number of perpetual license transactions increased from those for the three months ended March
31, 2010. Additionally, software license revenues will vary among the various products that we
offer, due to differences such as the timing of new releases and variances in economic conditions
affecting opportunities in the vertical markets served by such products.
Maintenance. Maintenance revenues were $19.4 million and $18.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in maintenance revenues of $1.4 million, or 8%,
was primarily due to revenue from acquisitions, which contributed $1.2 million in the aggregate, an
increase in organic maintenance revenues of $0.1 million, and a favorable impact from foreign
currency translation of $0.1 million. We typically provide maintenance services under one-year
renewable contracts that provide for an annual increase in fees, which are generally tied to the
percentage change in the consumer price index. Future maintenance revenue growth is dependent on
our ability to retain existing clients, add new license clients and increase average maintenance
fees.
Professional Services. Professional services revenues were $5.3 million and $5.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease of $0.1 million was
primarily due to a decrease of $1.0 million in organic professional services revenues, partially
offset by revenues from acquisitions, which contributed $0.8 million in the aggregate, and a
favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $0.1 million. Our overall software license
revenue levels and market demand for professional services will continue to have an effect on our
professional services revenues.
Software-Enabled Services. Software-enabled services revenues were $57.7 million and $49.2 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in software-enabled
services revenues of $8.5 million, or 17%, was primarily due to an increase of $5.6 million in
organic software-enabled services revenues, revenue from acquisitions, which contributed $2.2
million, and a favorable impact from foreign currency translation of $0.7 million. Future
software-enabled services revenue growth is dependent on our ability to retain existing clients,
add new clients and increase average fees.
Cost of Revenues
Total cost of revenues was $44.5 million and $39.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
2011 and 2010, respectively. The gross margin was 50% for each of the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2011 and 2010. Our costs of revenues increased by $5.3 million, or 14%, primarily as a
result of an increase of $2.9 million in costs to support organic revenue growth, revenue from our
acquisitions, which added costs of revenues of $1.5 million, an increase in costs of $0.5 million
related to foreign currency translation, an increase in amortization expense of $0.3 million and an
increase in stock-based compensation of $0.1 million.
Cost of Software Licenses. Cost of software license revenues consists primarily of amortization
expense of completed technology, royalties, third-party software, and the costs of product media,
packaging and documentation. The cost of software license revenues was $1.7 million and $1.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in cost of
software licenses was primarily due to a reduction of $0.2 million in amortization expense. Cost of
software license revenues as a percentage of such revenues was 26% and 34% for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
12
Cost of Maintenance. 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. The cost of maintenance revenues was $8.7 million and $8.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in cost of maintenance
revenues of $0.7 million, or 8%, was primarily due to additional amortization expense of $0.4
million as a result of our acquisitions, which added $0.2 million in costs, and an increase in
costs of $0.1 million related to foreign currency translation. Cost of maintenance revenues as a
percentage of these revenues was 45% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 44% for
the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Cost of Professional Services. 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, custom programming and actuarial consulting
services. The cost of professional services revenues was $3.6 million and $3.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in costs of professional
services revenues of $0.2 million, or 6%, was primarily related to our acquisitions, which added
$0.3 million in costs, and an increase in costs of $0.1 million related to foreign currency
translation, partially offset by a reduction of $0.2 million in costs. Cost of professional
services revenues as a percentage of these revenues was 68% for the three months ended March 31,
2011 compared to 62% for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Cost of Software-Enabled Services. 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. The cost of software-enabled services revenues was $30.6
million and $25.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The
increase in costs of software-enabled services revenues of $4.7 million, or 18%, was primarily
related to an increase of $3.1 million in costs to support the growth of organic software-enabled
services revenues, our acquisitions, which added $1.0 million in costs, an increase in costs of
$0.3 million related to foreign currency translation, an increase in costs of $0.2 million related
to amortization expense and an increase in stock-based compensation of $0.1 million. Cost of
software-enabled services revenues as a percentage of these revenues was 53% for each of the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $21.4 million and $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31,
2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in total operating expenses of $1.8 million, or 9%, was
primarily due to our acquisitions of GIPS, TOS, TSW and BXML, which added $1.5 million in costs, an
increase in costs of $0.3 million related to stock-based compensation and an increase in costs of
$0.2 million related to foreign currency translation, partially offset by a reduction in costs of
$0.2 million. Total operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 24% for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Selling and Marketing. 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. Selling and marketing
expenses were $6.9 million and $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, representing 8% of total revenues in those periods. The increase in selling and
marketing expenses of $0.7 million, or 12%, was primarily related to our acquisitions, which added
$0.6 million in costs, and an increase in costs of $0.1 million related to foreign currency
translation.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs
attributable to the enhancement of existing products and the development of new software products.
Research and development expenses were $8.0 million and $7.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, representing 9% and 10% of total revenues in those periods,
respectively. The increase in research and development expenses of $0.2 million, or 3%, was
primarily related to our acquisitions, which added $0.6 million in costs and an increase in costs
of $0.1 million related to foreign currency translation, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5
million in costs.
General and Administrative. 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. General
and administrative expenses were $6.5 million and $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31,
2011 and 2010, respectively, representing 7% of total revenues in each of those periods. The
increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.8 million, or 15%, was primarily related to
our acquisitions, which added $0.3 million in costs, an increase in costs of $0.3 million related
to stock-based compensation and an increase of $0.2 million in costs to support organic revenue
growth.
13
Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was
$5.1 million and $9.0 million, respectively, and primarily related to interest expense on debt
outstanding under our senior credit facility and 11 3/4% senior subordinated notes due 2013. The
decrease in interest expense of $3.9 million reflects the lower average debt balance resulting from
net repayments of debt, including the partial redemptions of our senior subordinated notes in April
2010 and March 2011 (discussed further in Liquidity and Capital Resources).
Other Expense, Net. Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2011 consisted of
foreign currency losses and fees associated with the redemption of our 11 3/4% senior subordinated
notes due 2013, which is discussed further in Liquidity and Capital Resources, partially offset by
a refund of facilities charges. Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2010
consisted primarily of foreign currency losses.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended March
31, 2011 consisted of $2.0 million in note redemption premiums and $0.9 million from the write-offs
of deferred financing costs associated with the redemption of $66.6 million of our notes, which is
discussed further in Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Provision for Income Taxes. We had effective tax rates of 33.6% and 12.3% for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase was due to the 2010 reversal of uncertain
income tax positions, refunds and enacted rate changes in the three months ended March 31, 2010.
The expected effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2011 is forecasted to be between
33% and 34%.
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, cash flows from operations and availability under the revolving credit portion of our senior
credit facilities 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 and cash equivalents at March 31, 2011 were $70.8 million, a decrease of $14.0 million
from $84.8 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease in cash is due primarily to net repayments of
debt and cash used for an acquisition and capital expenditures, partially offset by net proceeds of
$52.0 million from our follow-on public offering of common stock in February 2011 and cash provided
by operations.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
2011. Cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to net income of $9.8 million
adjusted for non-cash items of $11.2 million, partially offset by changes in our working capital
accounts totaling $9.0 million. The changes in our working capital accounts were driven by an
increase in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets, and decreases in accrued
expenses and other liabilities and accounts payable, partially offset by an increase in deferred
revenues and income taxes payable. The increase in deferred revenues was primarily due to the
collection of annual maintenance fees. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to the
increase in revenue and days sales outstanding. The decrease in accrued expenses was primarily due
to the payment of annual employee bonuses.
Investing activities used net cash of $16.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011,
primarily related to $14.8 million cash paid for our acquisition of BMXL and $1.6 million cash paid
for capital expenditures and $0.5 million cash paid for capitalized software and other intangibles.
Financing activities used net cash of $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011,
representing $67.1 million in net repayments of debt, partially offset by $52.0 million in net
proceeds from our follow-on offering, proceeds of $3.7 million from stock option exercises and
income tax windfall benefits of $1.7 million related to the exercise of stock options. The
repayment of debt during the period is due to our use of proceeds from our follow-on offering and
available cash to redeem $66.6 million in principal amount of our outstanding 11 3/4% senior
subordinated notes due 2013 at a redemption price of 102.9375% of principal amount.
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.

Senior Credit Facilities
SS&Cs borrowings under the senior credit facilities bear interest at either a floating base rate
or a Eurocurrency rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. In addition, SS&C pays a
commitment fee in respect of unused revolving commitments at a rate that will be adjusted based on
its leverage ratio. SS&C is obligated to make quarterly principal payments on the term loan
totaling $1.7 million per year. Subject to certain exceptions, thresholds and other limitations,
SS&C is required to prepay outstanding loans under the senior credit facilities with the net
proceeds of certain asset dispositions and certain debt issuances and 50% of its excess cash flow
(as defined in the agreements governing our senior credit facilities), which percentage will be
reduced based on SS&C reaching certain leverage ratio thresholds.
The obligations under SS&Cs senior credit facilities are guaranteed by us and all of SS&Cs
existing and future material wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries, with certain exceptions as set forth
in the credit agreement. The obligations of the Canadian borrower are guaranteed by us, SS&C and
each of SS&Cs U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries, with certain exceptions as set forth in the credit
agreement. The obligations under the senior credit facilities are secured by a perfected first
priority security interest in all of SS&Cs capital stock and all of the capital stock or other
equity interests held by us, SS&C and each of SS&Cs existing and future U.S. subsidiary guarantors
(subject to certain limitations for equity interests of foreign subsidiaries and other exceptions
as set forth in the credit agreement) and all of our and SS&Cs tangible and intangible assets and
the tangible and intangible assets of each of SS&Cs existing and future U.S. subsidiary
guarantors, with certain exceptions as set forth in the credit agreement. The Canadian borrowers
borrowings under the senior credit facilities and all guarantees thereof are secured by a perfected
first priority security interest in all of SS&Cs capital stock and all of the capital stock or
other equity interests held by us, SS&C and each of SS&Cs existing and future U.S. and Canadian
subsidiary guarantors, with certain exceptions as set forth in the credit agreement, and all of our
and SS&Cs tangible and intangible assets and the tangible and intangible assets of each of SS&Cs
existing and future U.S. and Canadian subsidiary guarantors, with certain exceptions as set forth
in the credit agreement.
The senior credit facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict,
subject to certain exceptions, SS&Cs (and its restricted subsidiaries) ability to incur
additional indebtedness, pay dividends and distributions on capital stock, create liens on assets,
enter into sale and lease-back transactions, repay subordinated indebtedness, make capital
expenditures, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, dispose of assets and engage in
mergers or acquisitions. In addition, under the senior credit facilities, SS&C is required to
satisfy and maintain a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. SS&C was
in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2011.
11 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013
The 11 3/4% senior subordinated notes due 2013 are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of SS&C
that are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt, including the
senior credit facilities. The senior subordinated notes will be pari passu in right of payment to
all future senior subordinated debt.
The senior subordinated notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at SS&Cs option, at any time at
varying redemption prices that generally include premiums, which are defined in the indenture
governing the senior subordinated notes. In addition, upon a change of control, SS&C is required
to make an offer to redeem all of the senior subordinated notes at a redemption price equal to 101%
of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. In March 2011, SS&C
redeemed $66.6 million in principal amount of its outstanding 113/4 % senior subordinated notes due
2013 at a redemption price of 102.9375% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest
on such amount to, but excluding, March 17, 2011, the date of redemption.
The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes contains a number of covenants including,
among others, covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions, SS&Cs ability and the
ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make
certain investments, create liens, dispose of certain assets and engage in mergers or acquisitions.
Covenant Compliance
Under the senior credit facilities, SS&C is required to satisfy and maintain specified financial
ratios and other financial condition tests. As of March 31, 2011, SS&C was in compliance with the
financial and non-financial covenants. SS&Cs continued ability to meet these financial ratios and
tests can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that SS&C will
continue to meet these ratios and tests. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a
default under the senior credit facilities. Upon the occurrence of any event of default under the
senior credit facilities, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the
senior credit facilities to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit.
15
Consolidated EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used in key financial covenants contained in
the senior credit facilities, which are material facilities 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 senior credit facilities. 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 ratios and other financial condition tests contained in the
senior credit facilities.
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.
The breach of covenants in the senior credit facilities 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 due and payable and to terminate any commitments they have to
provide further borrowings. Any such acceleration would also result in a default under the
indenture. Any default and subsequent acceleration of payments under our debt agreements would have
a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Additionally, under our debt agreements, 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 GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund
cash needs. Further, the senior credit facilities require 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 (loss), 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 senior credit facilities.

Calculated as the ratio of funded debt, less cash on hand up to a maximum of $30.0 million,
to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the senior credit facility, for the period of four

obligations. This covenant is applied at the end of each quarter. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards
Update (ASU) No. 2010-29, which updates the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)
Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASU 2010-29). The objective of ASU 2010-29 is to address
diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure
requirements for business combinations. The amendments in ASU 2010-29 specify that if a public
entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings
of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year
had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The
amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to
include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments
directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and
earnings. This guidance is effective for business combinations with an acquisition date on or after
the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. We
adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2011, and the adoption did not have a material impact on
our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-28, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):
When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative
Carrying Amounts (ASU 2010-28). ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test so that
for those reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, an entity is required to perform
Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not based on an assessment of
qualitative indicators that goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely
than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse
qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal
years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. We adopted this
standard beginning January 1, 2011, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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, 2011, excluding capital leases, we had total debt of $224.5 million, including $157.9
million of variable interest rate debt.
At March 31, 2011, $28.6 million of our debt was denominated in Canadian dollars. We expect that
our foreign denominated debt will be serviced through our Canadian operations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, approximately 31% 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 denominated in the Canadian
dollar. While revenues and expenses of our foreign operations are primarily denominated in their
respective local currencies, some of our subsidiaries do enter into certain transactions in
currencies other than their functional 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 or losses, which we report in other income (expense). These outstanding
amounts were reduced during 2010, and we do not believe that our foreign currency transaction gains
or losses will be material during 2011. The amount of these balances may 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 in the future. We continue to
monitor our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates as a result of our foreign currency
denominated debt, 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.

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 of March 31, 2011. The
term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 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 SECs rules and forms. 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 companys 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, 2011, 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.
18
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 quarter ended March
31, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
